NF.W YORK, Jan. 11.— After the Sght last night Sharkey made this statement: "I won this fighi fair and jqnare. I simply knocked the man out uid did it in good time. I thought I Aould win in about the tenth round md told my seconds so. My eye will _c blackened a little, but otherwise I im unhurt. The blow that knocked me low v was a dandy, but I knew I would recuperate. The Kid can hit hard and Is fa. :, but 1 have some speed myself, ind, -as for hitting hard, I let the pub lic judge of that. When I got up from the knock-down blow, 1 was still strong and the one minute rest put me all right again. McCoy is a good, game Cellow, and I give him all the credit in the world, but he can't whip me, nor any one else in the world. I think I am the best man in the world, and be lieve I have deserved lt, at least I have met them all and each time got the money. Nobody can say anything about this fight, but the fact that I knocked my man out. I am ready to tight anybody for the championship of the world." Kid McCoy said: "I am defeated, but I still think I can whip the man ivho got the decision. I had Sharkey practically out in the third round, as any one who saw the fight will agree to, but I made the mistake of being ' j _ "lipus and waiting for a better :i-Alr*,rturiity to finish the job. The bj«. .. ae -struck me which sent me down i'" "rile of his wild swings, all of iihich I had been able to avoid with ■>ase, and it was entirely a chance that it landed. However, it did land, was effective and it is my fault. But as I said before, I still think I can whip Sharkey, and will do so if I get an other chance. I don't like to make any claim of foul work against my opponent, but I was struck twice very low. Of course I am heart-broken over the result, but it can't be helped. I realize that I was up against a hard game in going against a man consid erably heavier than myself, but any one who saw the third round of the fight will agree with me when I say I have got a very good chance to defeat Mr. Sharkey if we meet again." •Referee Tim Hurst said: "There were no foul committed. If there had been I should have disqualified the man who committed it. The blow of ■which there is some question was planted in the pit of McCoy's stomach and sent him to the ground. I saw it lai;d distinctly. The fighting all through was very fair and the men broke cleanly when ordered to. Mc- Coy was counted out while lying on the ropes in the tenth round, and I had already awarded the fight to Sharkey before McCoy got upon his feet. Sharkey did not know this at the time, and I was busy counting out the seconds over McCoy and had no idea that Sharkey would punch him again, but the sailor lost his head and struck McCoy a swipe on the back of the head, which knocked him down again, and I was as mad as I could be when I saw it done." In all reports McCoy was quoted as favorite, and favorite he was, so far as talk went, until the crowd gathered at the ring side. Sharkey's backers, who had waited to do their betting, came expecting to get odds of five to four. They were all disappointed, for the only bets placed at the odds men tioned were of small sums, and the men who had real money to wager on the sailor's chances finished by taking even money. Some few men who needed extra inducements to take the chances got ten to nine in some small amounts. Practically it was a dead even thing between the boxers. The talent lined up strongly on McCoy's side and until the men entered the ring. Joe Vendig, Joe Ullman, Jimmy Kelly, Fred Walbaum, Rob Kase and Ike Thompson, on the south side of the ring, were ready to bet even money on McCoy as long as they could find takers. Their refusal to lay odds had a very apparent effect on the specula tion, for the smaller fry followed the lead of the big fellows. The biggest bet of the night was $2,500 even, Andy Piatt taking McCoy against Sharkey for Morris Jacob of Cincinnati. Fred Walbaum bet $500 on McCoy against $450 put up by P Weigler. of Pittsburg, but the bet was made early in the evening and Wal baum did not repeat the odds. Isador Wormser placed $550 on McCoy at even money, but to do it had to take several bets of $100 or more. Joe Ven dig bet $1,000 even on McCoy with George Kessler and wanted more but the one bet was enough for Kessler Dave Gideon held $3,800 In bets for Vendig, made with a number of pa trons of boxing. Vendig having bet $2,000 to $1,800 early in the day. Joe Ullman, who laid ten to nine on McCoy until Tuesday afternoon con tented himself with betting even money at the ringside, and got $2 000 by accommodating a number of bet tors who came forward with small wagers. Rob Kase took McCoy for as much as he could get at even money and managed to swell the total of his CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

Tom O'Rourke, who had $1,800 bet on Sharkey against $2,000 with Joe Vendig, swelled the sum total by betting $300 more with H. Schultz. Jim Corbett, seated in a box, got a bet of $500 even, taking Mc- Coy's end, and wanted more. About that time the Sharkey money seemed to run short, and the McCoy people who wanted to bet, went begging for takers. There was still some little betting just at the time the men en tered the ring, but hardly enough to establish a price, the figures ranging from ten to nine on McCoy to even money. • WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE. McCoy Cries Fohal and Seeks Anoth er Battle. NEW YORK. Jan. 11— Kid McCoy issued a signed statement today, in which ho inti mates that his defeat by Sharkey waa tho res <ult of several foul blows the 6ailor landed on him. Ho thinks he can beat Sharkey, and wants to arrange another match. If the sailor won't fight him again, McCoy says he will make a match with Corbett. Tom O'Rourke, manager of the Lenox Ath letio club, today said that th« receipts of last night's fight amounted to a trifle less than $40,000.

His candidacy was supported by Senator Fairbanks. Mr. Harris is about fifty-three years of age. -He is married, but has no chil dren. MUST LOOK TO CONGRESS. War Department Cannot Reimburse State* for Volunteer Expenditures. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. —L. P. Mitchell, acting comptroller of the treasury, has rendered an opinion on the question of the authority of, the several staff departments of the army to pay the expenses incurred by the governors of states or officers of their respective staffs under their authority in raising the volunteer army of the United States in the war with Spain. It is stated that in some instances ex penses have been incurred where the state has no available funds with which to settle the same, and if it were held that the governors were acting as agents of the war department the bills could be paid by the disbursing officer of the government. The comp troller, however, holds to the contrary. FILIPINOS ANGRY.

PAUL GLOBE THURSDAY JANUARY 12, 1899. PILLSBURY IS HERE THE GREATEST CHESS PLAYER IN AMERICA NOW VISITING ST. PAUL WILL PLAY HERE TODAY Some of the Notable Matches ln Which lie Has Been a Contest ant—>Ha« Beaten Some of the Greatest Players In the World — — Defeated Show-alter Past Ttto Seasons for U. S. Champlomshlp. Thi. afternoon, beginning at 2 p. m., and evening, beginning at 7:30 p. m., at the rooms of the St. Paul Chess and Whist club, will appear Harry Pills bury, the undisputed chess champion of the United States. He will give an exhibition in the afternoon of blindfold play, and in the evening will play sim ultaneously with the strongest players in the city. Since the days when Charles Mohle traveled around and payed the Twins a visit as operator of Ageeb, the in scrutable Turk, there has been no chess stimulant in the Northwest. But HARRY N. PILLSBURY, Chess Champion of the United States. lo a greater — a much greater — than Mchle, or, in fact, any operator of the Turk, is here. While not a Morphy, for men of pe culiar and transcendant genius such as his are metoric in every class, he is a chess expert and genius of the highest order. Lasker, the present champion of the world, has had to succumb to this young Ameri can giant, and that notable victory of his at" Nuremburg, in 1896, over Lasker, stands today as one of the most bril liant in the annals of chess. He waa born in Somerville, Mass., Dec. 5, 1872, where, by the by, Barker, the- checker champion, was also born. The following shows his record to date: 1893 — New York, impromptu, unplaced; Lasker first. IS93— New York, Masters' tourney, first prize; Hodges second. IS94— New York, Masters' tourney, un placed; Stelnitz first. 1895— Hastings, International, first prize; Tschlgorin second. 1895-6— St. Petersburg, Quadrangular, third prize; Lasher first. 1895— Nuremberg, International, third prize with Tarrasch; Lasker first. 1896— Budapesth, international, third prize; Tschigorln first. 1898— Vienna, international, second prize; Tarrasch first, after a tie. * • » 1892— Boston, vs. H. N. Stone; won by 6 to 1. . JS92— Boston vs. J. H. Barry; won by 5 to 4. 1896— Vienna, vs." B. Englisch; drawn (five drawn games). 1897— Brooklyn, vs. J. W. Showalter; won by 18 to 8 (United States championship). *l£9g_New York, vs. J. W. Showalter; won by 7 to 3 (United States championship). He is a combination of the two schools, a master of theory and iac tics and a natural genius in strategic coups. He is cool, quiet, steady in his pla»y. never allowing nervousness or irritability to overcome him at any time, which, perhaps, is a potent factor ln his tournament tri umphs. As a blindfold player he has few equals, and is nearly as good as Black burne, the erst English champion, in his palmiest days, and fully his peer now, having played as many as twelve simultaneously with success, and his complete mastery over the various po sitions and his ability to make several brilliant coups and combinations at one time is a remarkable feature of his powers of concentration. CHICAGO NOT IN IT. Western Base Ball League Circuit Still Lack. One City. CHICAGO, Jan. 11,— There will be no West ern league base ball club ln Chicago under the management of Anson or any other man. President Johnson returned from his hurried trip to St. Louis, and positively affirmed that there was not the slightest hope of Anson landing the prize. TheTe is only one base ball franchise yet to be placed, and Tom Loftus, ot Columbus, has absolute say about that. 'Mr. Johnson absolutely refused to commit himself on the purport of his visit to St. Louis. He admitted, however, that the law suit of Monte Cross was not the only thin* that made him travel to the Mound city. ChaTley Comiskey was equally uncommuni cative on the subject. That the trip would have Important bearings on the league cir cuit neither would deny, and both excused themselves from discussing the subject. It la asserted that as soon aa Johnson, Comlskoy and Van Derbeck arrived at St. Louis the first two separated themselves from the Detroit magnate and that they did not meet again. Van Derbeck did not return with his traveling companions, and President Johnson did not know what had become of him. Pre.ld.nt Hart said he did not believe that the visit of tine Western magnates ln St. Louis had anything to do with the National league, (but beyond that he would not talk. James Manning, of Kansas City, who had expected to return to his home Monday even ing, was still ln the city yesterday and ad mitted that Ihe had: intended to accompany the rest of ths magnates, but tbat at the last moment he had decided not to go. FINE RUES AT COMO. Two New Records Established nt Yesterdays Matinee. Th matinee of the Capital City Driving club at Lake Oomo yesterday was the most successful ice racing event of the season. Previous Ice records were shattered In two races. The Ice was in excellent condition. A strong wind blew down the regular course, however, and the races were driven In reverse to the ordinary course. This gave the horses an advantage that assisted some in the fast time made.

The popular notion that the eyes of the dead sometimes retain complete Images of scenes that have been enacted before them at the moment of death ha 3 received fancied confirmation in late years by experiment, and there are some who, from reading careless or exaggerated accounts of these experiments, might get an impression that science had placed upon this notion' the stamp of ap proval The following note from the London. Lancet gives us the Very small modicum of truth that Is the basis of all such stories. It says: "Under the title of *In Dead Eyes' an even ing contemporary recently made a statement which carries its own confusion with it. It is to the effect that a physician and enthu siastic photographer, being desirous of test ing the amount of truth ln the theory that dead eyes retain complete Images, had care fully examined the eyes of hundreds of dead people, and, though he had never seen any thing like a dlstinot picture mirrored, he had certainly distinctly traced both letters and objects on the iris of the eye, and that when the photographic test was applied these im ages became visible. In one case a capital letter of peculiar form was shown which could be traced to a Testament held In the hands shortly before death. In another case a numeral was distinctly pictured which was traced to a clock face in the room. The article ln question continues: "The chief scientific paper of France only the other day gave full particulars of a case where a woman who died in one of the hospitals had two numbers, 10 and 45, mirrored in the iris of her eyes.' "These absurd stories originated in the well-known experiments or Kuhne on the visual purple of the retina, in the course of which he showed that by lpaking special ar rangements the cross bars of a window focused on the retina could be brought Into relief. The enthusiastic photographer. If he be not misquoted, ought to have known that no well-denned images of the external world are cast upon the iris, and none, therefore, could be preservd. The surface of the iris ls far too uneven to act as a mirror. More over, as no arrangements were made to pre vent the further action of light after death, they would, If formed, .be certainly obliterated as the image on a photographic plate would be if permanently exposed. The only mode in which an image Impressed on the retina could be rendered visible would be to adopt the method of Kuhne, namely, by exposing the eye previously kept in the dark for a minute or two to an illuminated object, then extirpating it, opening it, and immediately plunging it Into a solution of alum. The image develops in the course of twenty-four hours." Fine Summer Resort. SARANAC LAKE, N.

From the writings of Pliny the elder it ls evident that soap was known to the Romans as early as the first century. According to him that ordinary article was prepared with ashes and tallow, while a better quality of soap was made with goat's fat and beech wood ashes. Neither of these products was hard, but of the consistency of the common 6oft soap, and, curiously enough, were used frequently by the Gauls in bleaching their hair and by the Romans as a perfume.

BIS LUCK SURPRISE NICE YOUNG MAN WHO WON AN IMMENSE SUM AT CARDS GERMAN OFFICERS SUFFERED Scandal In Berlin tbat Has Brought About tbe Arrest of a Count and Aroused the Ire of Emperor William The "Jovial Cjjub" Got Many Prominent Young Germans Into Trouble. BERLIN, Jan. 11.— Count Klaus yon Egloffstein, who was recently obliged to leave the army on account of his debts, has been arrested on the charge of forging bills. According to the Tage biatt, Count yon Egloffstein was the director of the notorious gambling club, Der Froelichen, or the Jovial club, frequented by officers of the guard's, cavalry, high government officials, bankers and members of the relchstag, which has existed in Berlin for some years. There was a scandal in connec tion with the club, early in December last, on account of which several of ficers were dismissed from the army. Count yon Egloffstein is heir to an estate at Arklltten. He was formerly an officer of Uhlans. Besides the of fense which has brought him Into dis grace the count is charged with forg ing checks. According to the Tagebiaitt, when Gen. yon Hanke, the chief of the em peror's military cabinet, informed his majesty as to the progress made by th » police in the Investigation, the emperor said: "I demand that the whole truth bo established."
