GOSSll' OF TUE BOXEKS.
When Jack Daly, the. light weight tham
plou of Delaware, returned to this city
from Wilmington yesterday lie brought a
story of tbe actions of Johnnie Glynn, since
the night of his fate exhibition wJUi Joe
Batcmun, that verify the exposure of the"
disgraceful affair as published lp The
Times the morning 'nfier the "contest."
Inspcakingof the fight Dalysaid:"GIynn
not only does not deny that the fight
was fixed, but he baa openly boasted to
his friends In Wilmington that he agreed
to lay down to Balenicn, and that he made
$700 out of the deal. Since he returned to
Wilmington he has been running around
spendiug money right and left and seemed
to havu an unlimited supply of ready cash
at all t linos."
"But ma) Im those people arc not sore
on him," continued Daly. "He is strutting
around the streets as if he owned the
town, but you can bet your life he takes
good pains to steer clear of- 'Skimmer'
Ryan's place. 'SLlmmcr' was one of his
bi-st friends and would put up for him at
any and all times. This did not cut any
ice with the kid, when he got ready to
pull off a fake, and the idea of tipping
ltyan and the rest of his personal friends
off to the fact that crcrtlilng was not
right never seemed to enter bis head.
"As tu that card that he published In one
of the Washington papers Ust week,
stating that llateman had whipped lilin by
chance-ami was not really his superior, it's
all rot. Every one knows that liateman
cannot whip one side r him, but Glymr
tiasn'l one chance in a thousand to get any
baiklng for another 'g"' with the Wash
luglou buy."
This shows just where Mr. Glynn Mauds,
and it also sues to show thatHicstatcment
a local paper published to the effect that
he was "penniless nt ills home In Wilming
ton, Del.," was also "all rot." Those who
are ou the level paid no more attention to
this pipe story than they did to the balance
of the article.
Possibly the "hnir-.vlse men who hyp
notized themselves Into the bet left bat 01 nn
deliberately laKl down and stiHHl In with
those who had backed llaleman" had been
dreaming. The facts are, however, that
both of Glynn's seconds Ilobby Frankfort
nud Tony Stannanl say they knew he was
faking, and tried to make him go In and
fight. Perhaps then. Sir. Self-ordalned
Critic of honest criticism is the one who
has been asleep.
The affair was such a pahiable fake that
a novice at the business who didn't know
one fighter from the other could have seen
that It was noton the level. It should take,
then, a tremendous amount of nerve for an
old-timer' to attempt to smooth It over
by sajlng, "Oneof the strange, unaccount
able things about boxing Is that those un
familiar with the game arc nut satisfied
unless the boxers wade in one another's
gore, and this class fail to appreciate a
clever contest If It be bloodless.".
"Jim" Janey "and his backer called at
The Times office last night and posted a
forfeit of $100 for a fight with Billy"
Nally. As Hilly has announced on several
occasions that he was anxious to get on a
go with Janey, he now has a chance. He
made no reply to the challenge that Janey
recently issued, and unless he is simply
trying to imitate the example given pugil
ists by the Hon. Jim Jawful Corbett, It is
about time he came to the scratch.
Janey will leave his forfeit posted for n
weik, and In case Nully falls to materialize
with his end of the game, he -will meet any
l-ir.-KHind man in the country, "into,"
Peekh ini of Alexandria preferred, lie will
fight for any amount up to $D00 and the
largest puree offered, at 145 pound, give
or take two pounds. "Weigh in nt ringside.
These conditions will fit scleral men in
the District, and the colored boy (Jiould
succeed in getting ou a match
Tom O'Rourke, vtho shrewd manager of
George Dixon and Joe Walcott, has bet
$100 that James J. Corbett hail no right
to hand over the, heavyweight champion
ship to Peter Maher; that ilaher in not the
champion, and, lathe eentof Cornell's re
tirement, the championship reverted to
John I.. Sullivan. Bob Tucker of Newark
bet $100 that Maher is the present heavy
weight champion.
Kdward Smith of Denver is not disposed
to be left out entirely In the matter of cham
pionship talk, so he deftly remarks: "i am
the only true world's champion. I dispute
the cl.ilm of Ilaher and every other heavy.
weight to thctltle. I whipped JoeGoddard,
and Joe Goddard whipped Peter Maher, and
that puts me at the right place." .
"Denver" Is Inclined to tell only half the
story, the other part being that "Old Choco
late" Godfrey madelidward quit, whllethc
former was whipped in aburry by Maher.
Three four-round boxing contests will be
put on at the Southwark AthUUc Club to
night. They will be between Joe Collins
ami Dan Dougherty, Tatty Coan and Frank
Ilabe and Charley Johnson of Minneapolis
and Billy Bill, "iiuldoon's Pickaninny."

Destruction of Cuiuii Plantations will
3fot Afreet Prices.
New Tork, Nov. 30. President H. O.
Havemcycr, of the American Sugar Refin
ing Com pan)', does not expect to see any ad
vance la the price's of refined sugar on ac
count of the destructive workin the Cuban
plantations. This supplements the opinion
of Theodore Havemeyer.
'The visible supply of raw sugar in the
world nt the present time," explained
President Havemeyer, "ls-GOO.000 tons
more than it was at the same time a year
ago. The Cuban product is 1,000,000
tons. Tuts is the slackest time' in the year
with us, and we are taking advantage of it
to overhaul ourreflncrics.
"If several big plantations should be de
stroyed in Cuba, the effect might he to
stimulate speculation in raw sugars, but
1 cannot see any reason for a change In the
price of raw sugars. About one-tenth of
the Cuban product Is controlled by Ameri
can interests."

sixty-five miles south of Bait Lnke City,
which give every lndicatloa ot making that
place oue of the largest and richest gold
mining camps hi the world, have created
Intense excitement.
For about two years only one property has
been operated, and that by thellercur Gold
Mining and Milling Company., In that
period it has paid dividends ot over 5000,

It now appears that the valley for many
miles In every direction contains ore
equally as rich or richer than the Mercur
Company a property.
Within a ery short period a district ot
seven by three miles has been almost en
tirely taken up and fully 1,000 miners and
prospectors aroat work.
Three1 new mills have been started np and
are lip wopera ting even more profitably than
the original one. .New discoveries are be

The ore is o"fa character different from
any other goldioro in tbe world. It bears,
some resemblance to quartz and is being
treated by an adapted cyanide process. It

LINCOLN'S SUIlSTrrUTE.

Stroudsburg, Pn Nov. 30. It 18 not gen
erally known that Abraham Lincoln sent
a substitute to the late war; but such is a
fact. During the carlierdays of the war, it
seems to have- been the desire of all promi
nent men In Washington to have a repre
scntatlveJn the ranks, and Lincoln was no
exception to the rule.'
At that time there was a minister named
Staples In Washington, one ot whose sons,
then aged 10, bad a desire to go to the
front. Lincoln heard ot him, and, after a
conference, selected him as his representa
tive, and he proved worthy, for he won
honor on the field. He survived the war

This Fifty-fourth Congress Is a "land

Republican year of 1804. It will consist
of 244 Republicans, 104 Democrats and 0
Populists, 1 Silver and 1 vacant. The

Twenty-eight contests may be made from
Southern States and a majority Ot them
are to be instituted by Republican candi

The appoiutment of committees by the
Speaker will probably be earlier this year
than usual, as Mr. Reed, certain of his
election, is said already to have made up
the lists. This may enable Congress to
beat the records of years past and do
some business before the Chri-lmas holi
days. Owing to 1ESC being Presidential
election year, it is generally believed the
session ot this Congress will be a short one'.
Among the questions to be discussed as
party policy will be free silver, the tariff,
Hawaii, Venezuela, Cuba, bond issues and
tbe perennial pension laws. An authoriza
tion of low-Interest bonds to meet the
Treasury deficiency Is predicted as the
only financial legislation the majority will
tackle, as that sort of legislation is too
ticklish for an antc-carapalgn session. The

party issues, as thecountry'sbusiness is too

will be under discussion," says the Sena
tor, "and that subject will teeter up and
down like two boys on a plank all during
the session." Ve-ry little real work and
lots of buncombe speeches for campaign
purjioscs Is tho Senator's forecast of the
session.
-The Senate will stand: Republicans, 42;
:Dcmocrats, 39; Populists, 0. Whether
tho Repubile-ans will try to reorganize the
Senate's little official world is a question.
To-do so they would have to make deals

will preside anyway, and the reorganization
