Rojnvcnnte Kid Luvigne,
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—For some rea
son wise sporting men are sk-ptical about
Kid McCoy and Peter Maher coming to
gether at the Coney Island club on the
afternoon of New Years day. Not that
they be'ieve that McCoy and Maher have
any desire to fluke, for it i 3 known that
both are anxious to clash. Each is in
most excellent condition, and postpone
ment would be a disappointment. But
"the wi3ea ones" think of that $20,000 pur^e
and shake their heads. The Coney Island
club is a distance frcm New York proper,
and in a section cold and dreary at this
season of the year. Therefore the wise
ones wonder where the purse is to be
earned. Yet, for all that, the manage
ment of the club say the batttle will be
fought on schedule time.

Terry's friends were so jubilant and en

Daugherty about making a match be

with Erne for the lightweight champion
ship. Mack thinks his man wou'.d have
a good chance with O'Brien. D- *gherty
promised to consider the matter, and if
the match Is arranged the Hercules Ath
letic club, of Brooklyn, offers to give a
good purse for it.
Several attempts have been made of
late to get Kid Lavigne in shape again,
but they have failed. The former light
weight champion seems discouraged, and
will not be comforted. Frank Dwyer the
horseman and former schoolmate of La
vigne and friend of Sam Fitzpatrick is
going to take him in tow, and the pair
will leave in a few days for Hot Springs
where Lavigne will recuperate.

McGovern's sparring partner, ami the

Senator Fairhanka Tells What Will
He Done by Congress.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 26.—Senator
Charles W, Fairbanks arrived home to
day, and gave the following interview,
outlining the senate programme and com
menting upon national questions. He
said:
"The first thing after the holiday recess
will be the consideration of the currency
bill. This matter will be taken up on Jan.
4, and there will in all probability be
a month of debate on tne question of its
passage. It will not take longer than
that, however, and the bill will pass the
senate beyond all doubt.
"After that there may be some discus
sion about the Philippine questions, if
the resolutions of Senator Hoar receive
attention. However, the opportunity of
discussing this question will be given dur
ing the next presidential campaign, as it
will be one of the leading 1 questions. The
phase of the question which will receive
attention at the hands of the senate will
be the best way to immediately cease hos
tilities, and bring the islands under the
control of the United States. The ques
tion of annexation will come up after
ward, and will be discussed by the people
at large during the next campaign.
"The investigation of the Roberts case
is in the hands of the court appointed for
that purpose, and the final decision will
probably be made in the near future.
There can be but one outcome. anT that
is that he will be instructed to return to
the state of Utah."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Senator Aid
rich, of Rhode Island, who will have
charge of the Republican currency bill in
the senate, will try to put it through that
body without an amendment.
Republicans who may favor changes In
the bill are expected to abstain from of
fering amendments and bring the matters
they think should be changed to the at
tention of the finance committee. In this
way much time will be saved and the
Republicans will be abl*> to present at all
times a united front to the opposition.
The leaders believe they can carry out
this programme.
When the bill is in conference the Re
publican conferees from the two houses
can get together and draft the final com
promise measure, which will be agreed
to by both houses and will become a law.

Mr. Bryan Will Xot Ignore the

AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 26.— W. J. Bryan's
attention was called to a dispatch from
Washington stating that he had written
Congressman Daly, of New Jersey, that
he would make several speeches in the
East, discussing trusts and Imperialism,
and he was asked as to whether the re
port Indicated an intention of abandon
ing the silver question. He replied:
"Congressman Daly has probably been
misquoted. I expect to make several
speeches in the East, but I expect to
discuss the money question along with
other questions. There are three ques
tions now prominently berore the people,
to wit: The money question, the trusi
question and the Philippine question.
Whenever I make a political speech I
discuss all three questions."
Mr. Bryan will leave here Saturday
for his trip to Lincoln, Omaha, Kansas
City and Chicago and thence to the East.
He will be gone at least one month.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.—At a meeting of the

"The National party Is a continuation

FINDING BONDS CALLED IN.
State Treasurer Koerner to Take Up
Seventy of Them.
State Treasurer Koerner yesterday call
ed in for payment seventy Minnesota
funding bonds of $1,000 each. The bonds
are part of an issue of $5,000,000 made in
the early days of the state to promote
railroad building, and after the payment,
which will be made by Mr. Koerner in a
few days, there will still be outstanding
$1,279,000 of the bonds that will be paid
off in blocks of 100 every year until they
are all taken up and paid.
The bonds are held as follows, and bear
interest at the rate of 3^ per cent:
German Savings Bank of New York, 30;
Savings Bank of Utica, New York, 12;
Greenwich Savings bank, New York, 5;
permanent Minnesota school fund, 7; per
manent university fund, 12; Life Insur
ance Clearing company, St. Paul, 4.
A law was passed in 1891 providing that
not to exceed $150,000 of the funding bonds
shall be taken up in one year, when the
amount to the credit of the redemption
fund is sufficient.
The holders of the bonds to be taken up
were determined by lot.
Of the $326,000 tied up in state banks
that failed in 18S7, Mr. Koerner says he
expects to collect every cent, and he also
says that out of the amount tied up prior
to his taking office, $100,000 has been col
