ECHOES OF THAT
BIG PRIZE FIGHT
Bob Fitzslmmons IsAofry at the De
clsloo of the Referee.
EARP MAKES AN EXPLANATION
Insists That the Knock Ont Blow
Was Foul Whether Intentional or
OtherwiseThe Opinion of Other
Sporting McnShnrkcy Ii Quite
Badly InjuredFitisliiimons Shows
No III Effects From the Fight.
San Francisco, Doc. 3. Fitzslmmons
was around the Baldwin hotel at an
early hour this morning, showing nut
the faintest trace of his encounter, with
Sharkey last night. He is most bitter
in his denunciation of the 'sailors"
foul tactics. Referee Karp and the
management of the fight. He says he
was robbed of the decision and that it
was a preconcerted scheme to give the
battle to his opponent. The blow which
laid Sharkey low, the Australian del-lured,
was a rlsrht hand hook on the
Ktumach. This landed fairly and not
below the belt as maintained bv the
referee. Kltzsimmons is anxious to
meet Sharkey again and will tight him
uny time and place the latter may
name. Those in attendance upon Shar
key say that he suffered terribly all
night, requiring the constant services
t two physlciuns up to four o'clock,
w hen he fell asleep.
Three of the most reputable citizens
In this city. Doctors H. It. Lee, 1. K.
Hagan and T. A. Itottanzl. examined
Sharkey ut 10.15 this morning. The
result was this statement from Dr.
Hnguii, the other two doctors acquies
cing: "Sharkey had a gash over the left
eye, which could not huve been caused
by a blow from a glove, as the eye Is
nut closed, also a swelling on thu left
cheek, to which we applied a leech this
morning. The left ear Is swollen from
extravasation, or blood settling under
the surface. There Is not a bruise or
a murk on the upper part of the body
suve a slight abrasion of the skin,
caused by contact with the 'ropes In the
tilth round and which is of no conse
quence whatever. This is what caused
the ilium1 ge."
Here Sharkey was stripped and the
physician pointed to a huge swelling
on the lower part of the body near the
gruln. There was discoloration in one
spot showing where the blow had land
ed. This Sharkey said was caused by
Fitzsimmons hooking him with his el
bow. Dr. liuiin explained the swell
ing was the same as in the ear and
would require leeches to subdue. There
is no hernia and no permanent Injury,
but the doctors were unanimous in the
belief that Sharkey could never have
entered the ring or stood on his feet
had he been In his present condition.
It will be several days before Sharkey
can leave his bed.
KARP'S DEFENSE.
New York, Dec. 3. Wyott Earp,
referee of the Sharkey-Fltzsimmons
light, telegraphs the Evening Journal
as follows regarding his decision:
"The foul blow of the night was seen
plainly by me. Fltz smashed with 1-8
right on Sharkey's shoulder, and then
with an uppercut with the left he
struck the sailor below the belt. Shar
key was leaning over and the blow
knocked him down.
"It was clearly a foul and before the
sailor moved I mentioned that the fight
was over. The first blow was weak
and I believe the second blow was in
tended for an uppercut, but it struck
foul.
"No man on earth ever questioned
my honor, I have been In many places
and In peculiar situations, but no one
ever said till tonight that I was guilty
of a dishonorable act, and I will re
peat that I decided in all fairness and
that my judgment was as true as
my eyesight, I saw the foul blow."
Mr. McNaughton, sporting editor of
the San Francisco Examiner, tele
graphed the Journal as follows:
"If Fitzslmmons struck Sharkey a
foul blow last night I did not see it.
But even at that I would scarcely like
to go on record as saying thut the
punch on which the fight was given to
the sailor was no foul, as Fits had his
back to me."
"1 saw a whizzing left hook go up
from Fitzslmmons' hip. It caught
Sharkey on the chin or mouth and the
sailor began to sink. Then I saw
Fitzslmmons' right elbow come back
and he delivered a body punch. I
should Imagine It took effect some
where about Sharkey's stomach or
short ribs, on the left side. Anyhow,
In a moment Shurkey was on the floor
on his back. He was not knocked out.
He was making grimaces and placing
his hand on his groin, and if he were
not In agony all I can say is that he
must be a consummate actor and must
have acted that particular scene many
a time. Afterward I heard a dozen
citizens of excellent reputation say they
saw the foul plainly. Some of them
said the blow was accidental and oth
ers thought from the manner of its de
livery that it was Intentional. This Is
something I cannot understand. In the
fl'th round, when Fltz sent Sharkey
down under the ropes, the Cornlshman
put out his hand and helped the sailor
to his feet. He complained to the
referee and chided Sharkey every time
the sailor struck foul In his clinches.
Why on earth should he alter his tac
tics and fight foul, the more especially
as he was over the worst part of the
Journey and had his opportunity?"
VICTIMS OP WEYLER'S ORDER.
Two Thousand Persons Dying in
Bramalcs of Hunger.
Havana, Dec. 3. In Bramales, prov
ince of Pinar Del Rio, the situation of
the poor country families obliged to
gather In the town by the recent de
cree of Oeneral Weyler Is so awful that
more than 10,000 persons are dying
there from hunger. Public subscrip
tions have been raised in Havana to
send them clothes and food, but In the
general financial distress of the coun
try not much help Is obtained for these
unfortunates.
The families that could not reach
Bramales within three days after the
promulgation of the decree have been
mercilessly slain by the Spanish guer
rilas. These guerrillas do not dare to
travel too far In their march from the
main body of the column to which they
belong for fear of Insurgent ambushes,
but they are called the "Black Van
guards" of the Spanish columns. They
are composed principally of negros,
and their deadly work Is against the
paclficos. They do not spare old men,
women or children, whom they tear to
pieces with their machetes.
The inhabitants of Plnar Del Rio
therefore are dying from hunger, as
In the case of the people of Bramales,
or are being massacred by the soldiers
of Weyler.
ALLEQED VITRIOL THROWER.
Mrs. Staffers Husband Must Answer

another full, were discovered In Staf
fers house since his arrest, and were
found to contain the dangerous acid.
Staffel tried to explain that he had

George Hale, a Scotchman, (be Man
Wbo U to Lead Mrs. Astir' s
Daughter to (be Altar.
New York, Dec. 3. It was reported
yesterday on what seems the best of
authority that Mrs. Augusta Drayton,
the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
William Astor, is about to be married
ugaln.
The happy man Is George Haig. a
Scotchmnn of position, now a member
of the firm of Halg & Halg, whiskey
merchants, with heudquarters In Lon
don. Mr. Haig Is 40 years of age, and a
fuvorite and well-known man-about-town,
and has been very devoted to
Mrs. Drayton during her residence In
London. His sister married Mr. Jamle
8i n. the head of the great distilling
firm of that name, and is a very
smart woman in London society.
During the latter purt of this season
George Haig arrived at Newport and
spent a few days there without becom
ing generally known In society. It now
appears that his mission was to see
Mrs. Astor and ask her permission to
marry her daughter, as well as to make
some arrangements about a settlement
upon his intended bride, as he was
not a mnn of much wealth.
When his visit to Newport was con
cluded he confided to an English friend
here that his purpose had been accom
plished in an entirely satisfactory
manner, and he returned home imme
diately. Only a very few of Mrs. Drayton's
old friends are aware of her engage
ment to Mr. Haig. which has not yet
been formally announced, either in
London or New York.
The marriage will be a happy ending
to as pretty a social disturbance as
ever agitated New York society, yet
nobody here has yet received word as
to the date of the wedding.
It will be remembered that Coleman
Drayton sued his wife for, divorce on
statutory grounds, naming Hallict A.
Horrowe as corespondent. The case
dragged Its slow and weary length
through the New Jersey courts until
society was much surprised to learn
that Mr. Dayton had retired from the
aggressive position he had at first as
sumed and had permitted his wife to
obtain a divorce from him on the
grounds of desertion un nbnsupport.
Neither of the parties to either suit
ever put In an appearance in court, and
the greatest Influence was brought to
bear to keep even the formal motions
of the lawyers as quiet as possible.
A few weeks ago Mr. Horrowe mar
ried Miss Corbin, a daughter of the
late Austin Corbin. Cobman Drayton
has established a quiet home for him
pelf and children nt Tuxedo, and when
Mrs. Drayton marries Mr. Halg the last
memory of u painful event will have
hupplly passed away.
SAT0LLI RECEIVES A RED HAT.
Imposing Ceremony at the Pope's
Public Consistory.
Rome, Deo. 3. There was the usual
imposing ceremony at the public con
sistory here today and red hats were
bestowed on Cardinal Satolll and the
other cardinals nominated at the two
last consistories. After the service the
new cardinals proceeded to the Sistine
chapel to return thanks to the pontiff,
who, on his way back to the Vatican,
was carried on the sedis gestatoris
amid cries of "Long live the pope!"
"Long live the kins!"
Later the pone held a secret consist
ory and appointed several bishops, in
cluding the Rev. Edward O'Dea. of
Portland, Ore., to be Bishop of Nes
qually, which embraces the state of
Washington.
The king of Servla was present at
the public consistory today.
CAN HEAR HER HEART BEATS.
Scientists Interested in the Case of a
Suffering Child.
Paris, Dec. 3. Oreat Interest Is mani
fested in scientific circles In the case
of a 4-year-old American girl who was
presented before the Academie de Med
icie by Dr. Klein, of London.
When a baby she accidentally fell
downstairs and received concussion of
the brain, but recovered In a few days.
Recently It was discovered that the
heart beats could be heard distinctly
when the ear was placed to the child's
head. Medical men consider it a most
remarkable case and will endeavor to
find the cause.
FANATIC STARVING TO DEATH.
Woman Refuses Food Because the
Lord Says So, She Declares.
Sharon, Pa.. Dec. 3. A strange story
came to light from Orangeville, O., near
this city. Mary Winters was found in
her home dying from starvation, and
when friends offered her food she re
fused to take It, saying that she had
been called by the Lord, and she would
obey His will.
She has not touched any food for
over three weeks.

REPORT OF CHIEF
FACTORY INSPECTOR
Mr. Campbell's Annul Stateneit to
Governor Hastings.
GOOD SH0WINQ FOR PAST YEAR
The Manufacturers Have Willingly
Complied with the Law and Pros
ecutions Have Not Been Necessary.
Hecom mends That the SemiMon
thly Pay Law Be AmendcdOthcr
Suggestions Made.
Ilarrlsburg, Pa.. Dec. 3. Chief Fac
tory Inspector Campbell has sent his
annual report to Governor Hastings.
He Buys manufacturers have willingly
complied with all the requirements of
the law. It was not necessary to prose
cute a single case during the year. A
great many establishments are not
umendable to the factory luw because
they do not employ five women, five
minors, or five of both. Chief Campbell
says the law should be amended that all
establishments employing men. women
or children come under Its provisions,
thereby protecting all employes.
He suys further: "The department
having no authority to inspect boilers,
there should be legislation either re
quiring a certificate of safety or a
competent boiler inspector furnished by
the department." He also says: "All
children between the age of thirteen
and sixteen years should be required to
have n certificate from the school su
perintendent In which they live that
they had attended school at least six
months in the school term preceding
their engagement to labor, and no min
or under the ase of eighteen be em
ployed that cannot read and write the
English language. The law limiting
the aire of children before they can be
employed In shops and factories, should
apply to all other avocations in which
children are employed, and the restric
tion of the hours of labor of minors
to sixty hours a week should apply to j
women.
PAY LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED.
In the judgment of the chief inspector
the snil-monthly pay law should be
so amended that It would be less cum
bersome, and he suggests that the de- '
purtment should be relieved of the re- i
sponsibllity of prosecutlns firms that I
are not amenable to factory inspection.
He cays the sweat shop law has re
sulted In securing better and larger
shops and Improved sanitary condi
tions, but does not reach the family
worker. He thinks the law should be
amended so as to require this class to
take out permits. He says a tour
through the sweat shop district will
convince anyone of the Importance of
a restrictive Immigration law.
The inspector recommends that bake
shops be made subject to factory in
spection. A summary of the work
done by the department shows that
6,68 Inspections were made of factor
ies and shops, where 369.5S5 persons are
employed. Number of accidents re
ported was 1.034; fatalities, 77. The
total number of persons employed In
the sweat shops inspected was 2.054
and the total number of employes 14,
40!. DIPLOMATS AGITATED.
News ol tbe Issuance of Rctalia'o y
Proclamation Agiin t G.'rrcany Is
Received with Interest.
Washington, D. C Dee. 3. News of
the issuance of the president's retalia
tory proclamation against Germany
was received with Intense interest oy
the diplomatic corps, especially by the
ambassadors of Great Britain and
France. An Inkling of the Intention
had reached them ten days ago and
has been communicated to their re
spective governments. Both ambassa
dors have been diligently looking up
the official literature bearing on the
subject, which is both interesting and
pointed. The re-lmnosltlon of tonnage
dues on German vessels is understood
to be due to a quiet Investigation, con
ducted during the past year by Mr.
Chamberlain, I'nlted States commis
sioner of navigation, who went abroad
for that purpose. He found that while
the imperial government of Germany
as a nation did not Impose any ton
nage duties on American vessels ar
riving at German ports, the maritime
states which compose part of the Ger
man empire, do impose such a tax in
violation of the treaty existing be
tween the two countries.
The German tonnage tax now being
Imposed is about six and a half cents
per ton, or greater than the tax re
voked by the president In his procla
mation of Jan. 28, 18S8, and which Is
now revived.
Mr. Chamberlain said this afternoon
he would. In accordance with the presi
dent's proclamation, Immediately be
gin the preparations of regulations to
carry the proclamation Into effect.
Mr. Von Reichenau, charge d' affairs
of the German embassy, declined to ex
press an opinion this afternoon, when
spoken with regarding the president's
proclamation. He simply stated in a
general way that the matter had been
the subject of correspondence for some
time, but that he could neither antici
pate what action the Imperial govern
ment would take with reference to the
proclamation nor did he care to express
an opinion regarding It.
It Is not believed that the German
government will consent to the imposi
tion of a discriminating tax on Ger
man vessels without at least a more
vigorous protest than has yet been
mnde. The German contention, It Is
understood, is that the tax complained
of In the president's proclamation Is
not Imposed solely on American ves
sels, but upon vessels of all nationali
ties, including German vessels. The
revenues arising from the tax are not
covered into the imperial treasury, but
become the property of the several
states within whose Jurisdiction the
tax is laid. It Is argued that if Ger
many should rescind this tax, as far as
Amorlcan vessels are concerned. It
should at once call forth a protest not
only from English, French and other
European powers whose vessels would
still be subject to taxation, but from
German shippers as well.

ment. He began to abuse the congressman,

IRON TRADE QUIET.
But tbe Business Is on the Road to
Improve merit S.'rong Undercurrent
with No Weakening of Prices.
nttsburg, Pa.. Dec. 3. Tomorrow's
edition of the American Manufacturer
will Bay concerning the Iron and steel
trade:
The situation in the Iron and steel
trade Just now is very similar to that
noted previous to the election. Nearly
all lines seem to have become steadier,
and some show signs of less activity.
In a few lines prices are hardly as
strong as they were three weeks ago.
The amount of business done during
the past week was quite small. Neither
side wants to push the market, conse
quently trade Is decidedly quiet. At
the tamo time there is nothing like a
slump In any line, and considering ev
erything, the entire trade Is still on the
road to improvement. It has been
found that in some few branches of
the market the expectation of higher
prices Immediately after the election
caused holders to pile up stocks which
have since been put out, thus lowering
prices. This has bfen the case wltn
Itcfsemcr pig particularly. The east
ern markets have been rather disap
pointing. Chicago reports a strong
undercurrent of business, with no
wcakeuing In prices. In Cincinnati
large sales of bridge material and
sheet Iron Is In good demand. Cleve
land reports trade fair, with the im
provement being sustained.
THE BOY WAS WONDERING.
And His Thoughts Ban Into One of
the Pecularities of Women.
Prom the San Francisco Post.
A small boy In Alameda found a
lovely sand heap In front of his fath
er's house the other mornlns. and he
built roads and houses until he was
tired of playing In the dry sand. Then
he carried a bucket of water and mixed
up a beautiful mud puddle. It was a
warm day and the wet sand appeared
so cool and soft that he sat down In
it.
The boy's mother happened to be
brushing her hair at that moment, and,
glancing out of the window, observed
him cooling himself. She led him
around to the wood shed by the ear,
and found she would have to remove
his clothes before she could take him
into the house.
"It seems as if Providence had de
signed It," she mused as she glanced
ut the half naked boy and the hair
brush, so she proceeded to bring the
two together In vigorous style Then
she took him In, put a clean jatr of
trousers on him. and made him sit on
a chair. He did not cry, but sat scowl
ing defiantly.
"Now, look here, Frankle," said the
mother, "I don't want you to sit there
and sulk. I don't like to, punish you,
but I had to do it." -
" 'Taint that," he replied promptly.
"I was Just wondering If women that
lick their little boys with hair brushes
go to heaven."
