M'COY GOT THE DECISION
BUT HAD A XARROW ESCAPE FROM
A ICXOCK-OUT.
Choynski Would Have Had the Flgrht
but for "Wrong: Timekeeping
Spectator Dropped Dead.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. Kid McCoy -sot
the decision over Joe Choynski in a bout
which lasted three rounds at the Broad
way Athletic Club tonight. Choynski
would have had the light in the second
round, were it not for an accident as to
t.mckeeping. He had floored the Kid
four times, but the timekeeper pulled the
brll us McCoy was counted for the limit
of 10 seconds, and this saved the Kid
from absolute defeat. Choynski's sec
onds protested vigorously, but Referee
Johnny White, while knowing the round
wis j-hort by many seconds, stood by the
offl" ial timekeeper and ordered the men
to continue when the gong rang again for
fh opening of the third round. Choyn
ski's cleverness outpointed and outshad
owed all of McCoy's clever ring worlc
McCoy, having escaped defeat in the
second round, was again lucky in the
th.rd, as the blow with which he sent
Choynski down and out was delivered
almost two seconds after the bell had
rung for the completion of the third
round. There was a great deal of noise
in the building at the time the gong
sounded, and undoubtedly neither man
hr-rd the clang of the bell.
In the northeast portion of the build
Ir.g there was a tumult, caused by one
of the spectators dropping dead. The
man was very much excited during the
bout, and expressed himself freely as to
SI Coy's being out before the bell rang.

Euid that he had no fault to find with
the referee, and in a conversation with
the latter exonerated White from all
blame.
1 1 had him licked good and sure," said
Choynski, "'and, had the timekeeper acted

iisfiod that nothing was done by either
the ceferee or official timekeeper with an
intention of doing me a wrong. It was
.n unfortunate thing that the'time should
have been miscalculated, as I had won,
and won cleverly."
After the bout Choynski and McCoy
signed articles to meet again under the
me conditions, the bout to take place
at the Broadway Athletic Club February

Rund 1 McCoy was first to land with
a left hook on the jaw. Joe broke away
and McCoy forced him to his corner, where
C'lojnMCl slipped to the floor. The Call-
fcrnian jumped up quickly and placed a
u tt swing on McCoy's jaw, but the Kid

McCoy had all the better of the round.
Round 2 Choynski sent the Kid to the
floor with a right on the jaw. McCoy
touk nine seconds of the count, and when
hi get up Choynski sent him down again
w th a left on the neck. Twice more Mc
Coy was floored, and he went to his corner
bleed.ng badly from the nose and mouth.
Round 3 McCoy fought like a crazy man
when he rushed out of his corner, and
Ch ynski was equally erratic. They set
all ring rules at defiance, but McCoy got
the better of the Western man at close
quarters. Choynski rushed McCoy, but
thi Kid was too spry on his feet, and
Joe slipped to the floor in a vain attempt
to land a swing. When Joe got up he ran
irti a clinch, from which the referee
had to separate them. Then Choynski

Coy hooked his right to the jaw, Choynski
landing his left at the same moment, and
h. th mnn went down. Just as they got up

up in a l.vely fashion. Neither man evi

as Choynski was carried to his corner, and
the Californian was unable to respond
nhen the bell called him for the fourth.
Choynski's seconds threw up the sponge
as McCoy rushed from his corner for the

was declared the winner.
The spectator who fell dead Is believed
to have been B. S. Sabin, of this city.

REVISED NEW TESTAMENT.
And Some Proposed Advnnces Upon
Its Lines ot Chance.
PORTLAND, JanTlL (To the Editor.)
In view of the recent "Biblical criticisms"
appearing in the columns of your paper,
the following treatment of the subject j
Liuiu u somewuai umereru. pnase iuau
any I have there seen, is respectfully sub
mitted: In 18S1 the revised version of the New
Testament was published. It was the
product of the highest theological scholar
ship of England and America. The Brit
ish committee consisted of 30 members,
with the Right Rev. C. J. Ellicott, D. D.,
bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, as
chairman; while the American commit
tee, with the Rev. Dr. Woolsey, formerly
president of Yale college, as chairman,
consisted of 17 members. These 47 schol
ars were universally acknowledged to be
the best fitted for the task, and their work
is the crowning feature of the 19th cen
tury in biblical study.
The King James, or authorized version
of the Bible, published In 1611, was made
up from manuscripts, none of which were
of earlier date than the seventh century.
But within the last 50 years, three still
older manuscripts were brought to light, j
wnica, accoraing io our oesc critics, De
long to the fourth and fifth century.
These manuscripts carry us back some
250 years earlier than any which were used"
in the construction of the King James
version. It was principally their discov
ery which made a revised version neces
sary; and It was the study of the text
of these manuscripts which led to nearly
all the changes In the revised version.
If any one desires to realize the changes
thus wrought In the text, let him run his
eye down the marginal notes of the re
vised version, where he will find, "Many
ancient authorities read," "Many ancient
authorities omit this," "Many ancient
authorities omit." etc These facts very
forcibly show the Imperfections of the
text
There are several thousand differences,
many of them very slight, but some of
great Importance In showing that the text
has been tampered with to a marvelous
extent. For instance, we see that some
passages of considerable length are
marked as spurious, Mark xvi:9-20, John
vli:53 to vlikll, and I John v:7, being the
most Important The passage In Mark is
the last 12 verses of the last chapter, and
contains the only mention In this gospel
of the corporal manifestation of Jesus af
ter ihe crucifixion. It also reports Jesus
as saying: "He that believeth and is bap
tized shall be saved; but he that bell&veth
not shall be damned. ... In my name
shall they cast out devils." (Ver. 16-17,
A. V.). The marginal note of the revisors
concerning this passage, is: "The two
oldest Greek manuscripts, and some other
authorities, omit from verse 9 to the end.
Some other authorities have a different
ending to the gospel."
The passage in John covers 12 verses,
and. Is the only mention of the woman
taken In adultery. This touching epilogue.
with Its profound ethical sense. If internal
evidence were a guide, might well be
affirmed as a typical example of the
teachings of Jesus, yet, say the revisors
plteously, "Most of the ancient authorities
omit John vll:53 to vIII:lL Those which
contain it vary much from each other."
The verse In the first epistle of John
v:7 is the only direct enunciation In the
Bible of the dogma of the trinity: "For
there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one." This passage Is
left out of the revised version without
even the compliment of a marginal note.
It has been known to be a forgery by all
theologians of learning for a thousand
years; it is absent from every authentic
Greek manuscript; it was repudiated by
Luther, and banished from the German
Bible In his lifetime.
According to Dr. Samuel Davidson, the
recognized authority on the subject, the
canon, or established subject-matter, of
the New Testament was practically set
tled during the latter half of the fourth
century. Consequently these additions
were made after the settlement of the
canon. The question, therefore, of Pro
fessor Huxley is In point: "If. after an
approximate settlement of the New Testa
ment, and even later than the fourth and
fifth centuries, literary fabricators had
the skill and audacity to make such ad
ditions and interpolations as these, what
may they have done when no one had
thought of a canon; when oral tradition,
still unfixed, was regarded as more valu
able than such written records as may
have existed In the latter, portion of the
first century?" Undoubtedly changes were
made from A. D. 150 to A. D. 350; but what
were they? Reuss, the renowned German
biblical critic, says: "It may be asserted
with tolerable certainty that, the further
back we go in the history of the text, the
more arbitrarily was it treated." But
how can we detect these changes? We
can discover corruptions more recent than
our oldest manuscripts, but here Is a
period several centuries beyond even our
oldest texts.
Just as our three oldest manuscripts
proved the King James version corrupt
and Imperfect In many places, so an older
manuscript would certainly reveal errors
whero we do not now know of them.
These three oldest manuscripts enable us
to set aside the only direct Trinitarian
text in Scripture as spurious; so a manu
script dating from A. D. 150 might compel
us to drop out Matthew's last three
verses, wherein the disciples are directed
to baptize "in the name of the Father,
and of the Son. and of the Holy Ghost"
They show us that the last 12 verses of
Mark are spurious; so a manuscript of
the year A D. 100 might lead us to set
aside all other statements of the corporal
manifestation of Jesus after his death.
They discredit the statement in John as
not only being omitted from most of the
ancient authorities, but show us that
those which contain it "vary much from
each other"; so, also, a true copy of the
first text might lead us to reject the ac
counts ir Matthew and Luke of the mirac
ulous conception of Jesus, so typical of'
the legends surrounding the birth of the
virgin-born gods of so many ancient re
ligions. It may be asserted that these Inferences
are not probable. They are certainly pos
sible, and therefore legitimate. There Is
nothing to exclude them, and the fact
which obtrudes Itself upon the attention
of every thinking man is that which is so
admirab'y stated by David Hume: "It is
contrary to experience that mirae'es can
be true, but It is not contrary to expe
rience that testimony may be false."

BUSIXESS STARTS OFF WELL
THE XEW YEAR.
Monetary Conditions Have Grown
Easier "Weekly Trade Reviews
of Dnn and Braditrcet.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12. R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade will say in tomor
row's issue:
The business of the new year begins
well, though there is still much of the
usual hesitation. In branches where last
year's business was extraordinary and
prices have risen greatly, some pause is
natural, though nothing indicates decrease
of consuming opposition or purchasing
power, but there is a continuing rise in
wages to promote increase. Monetary
conditions have grown easier with the re
turn of $4,000,000 from tne interior during
the week, and further deposits by the
treasury and more liquidation in some
speculative stocks has also helped. Banks
report an increase in their per cent ot
commercial loans, and rates were more
easy after the decline announced by Euro
pean Danks.
The furnaces in blast January 1 were
producing weekly 294.1S6 tons of pig iron,
against 295,959 December 1, but as several
had stopped only for the holidays and
others had started, the output now i3
probably larger than at either date. It
exceeds consumption at least, as the Iron
Age hows an increase of 9256 tons in un
sold stocks, but manufacturers apparently
consumed, during the jear, 13,831,626 tons
les small net exports in December. The
increase since 1S92 is about 4,223,003 tons,
or 46.5 per cent. Prices change scarcely
any, nor is new business significant. The
minor metals are strong In tone, but are
without much change in prices. Textile
manufacturers are more fully employed
than for a long time, though scarcity of
water has troubled some cotton mills.
Trading Is embarrassed by uncertainty
about prices. Wool is not active, nor are
speculators or manufacturers in haste to
buy at current prices, though the goods
market shows some advances for the next
season, with excellent trade thus far. The
effect upon the season's sales cannot ba
judged. Cotton goods have been quiet and i
no longer advance in prices, as the market
for the material Is uncertain in tone.
The boot and shoe manufacturer has a
similar difficulty, for while shipments arc
heavier than ever before at this seasan,
in two weeks 179.37G cases, against 118,174
last year, and 171,751 In 1898, as the rapid
distribution to corsumers causes most ur
gent calls for goods previously ordered,
yet dealers are slow to order more in
the fear that prices will not hold.
Manufacturers insist that still full ad
vances are needed to cover the cost of
leather. The Chicago market for hides
is weaker, with a lower average than at
any time since November 1. Cotton moves
go slowly that belief in a very short crop
is constantly strengthened, but foreign de
mands are much reduced also. On Janu
ary 5 only G,009,031 bales had come into
sight, against 8,001,916 last year, but ex
ports had decreased 1,725,000 bales, and
European stocks were far below last
year's. For the present, foreigners are
using up old stocks instead of buying
more, and the price hesitates. Wheat has
been slow to move also, Atlantic exports
In two weeks having been only 4,376,514
bushels, flour included, against 9,452,105 last
year, and Pacific, 1-.312.993, against 1,521,
051 last year. The prices closed a fraction
higher.
Failures for the week have been 271 in
the United States against 31S last year, and
25 in Canada, against 24 last year.
DEMAND IS QUIET.
Trices, However, Continue Steady in
Nearly All Lines of Trade.
NEW YORK, Jan. 12, Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
Quietness as to demand but marked
steadiness as to prices is still the leading
feature in trade lines, a condition it might
be remarke"d not uncommon at this stago
of the yeaT, which is a sort of middle
ground between stock-taking and inven
tory time and the actual opening of the
spring season. ,
Aggressive strength in prices is confined
to a few staples, such as pork product?,
which are firmly held on a rather tardy
recognition of the fact that supplies, both
of live hogs and dead meats, are far
from burdensome. Tallow, cotton-seed oil
and similar products are sympathetically
strong. Raw and refined sugars havu
both advanced this week, not apparently
because of the war .between the refiners
being settled, but really because suppllps
of raw are limited. Quito a flurry in cor
fee occurred as a result of reports of an
outbreak of the plague at Rio. The bear
ish pressure in cotton has not been re
laxed this week, but the disproportion be
tween the decline in spot and options
would seem to point to the bear campaign
having been less profitable than hoped for.
What few lines of next season's woolen
goods have been reported are at advances
ranging from 25 to 35 per cent, and much
interest attached to the reception that 'will
be given these increased quotations. Penn
ing the settlement of this, raw wool is
dull but firm, and speculation is natur
ally lic-ht.
Iron and steel are extremely quiet, but
signs of weakness are not numerous, the
shading in pig iron being confined to a few
grades and markets. Production in Do.

! little doubt that the aggregate production
for 1SD9 will not be much below 13,700,000
records, and having a counterpart in the
1 unexampled output of coke also reported
S for last year. Stocks of ore on Lake Erie
I are reported little in excess ot a year
ago, notwithstanding the greatest profiui:
I tion on record. The quiet in pig iron ex
tends practically to all the finished brancn
es of the trade, and hardware is also
quiet, but none the less firm, as evidenced
by the reports of further advances by
Western jobbers. Tin is speculatively high-
er this week, but copper has sagged off.
The demand for lumber is naturally
light, but the length of supplies is nota-
ble, as evidenced by the fact that white
1 pine stocks are 22 per cent smaller than
a year ago. The mild weather and lack of
snow in the Northwest, if long continued,
is thought likely may affect the cut this
winter. The large yellow-pine order for
10,000,000 feet for the pan-American expo
sition at Buffalo, erroneously printed 10,
030,000,000 feet last week, is still unplaced.
1 Cereals have been almost hopelessly dull
, this week on the "hand-to-mouth" de
mand. Stocks are large, and crop reports
are in' the main favorable, but short sel
lers are nervous, In view of possible for
' eign complications. Prlco changes not only
, in wheat, but in corn and other grains,
are the smallest noted for many weeks
I past.
j Hides are dull at the East, but consid-
I erable buying is reported West, and quo-
tations are fairly firm. Wheat, including
flour, shipments for the week aggregate
4.24S.92C bushels against 2,509,082 bushels
last week, 5,G17,0S1 bushels in the corrc-
; spon(iing week of 1S99, 5,'29-1.517 bushels in
189S, 3,94S,la4 bushels in 1S97 and 3,202,124
bushels in.lSGO.
Since July 1 this season the exports of
wheat aggregate 110,742,805 bushels, against
1S4,036,04S bushels last year and 138.S42.910
bushels in 1S97-9S.

in the early days of the week. There was
I a manifest lack of buying power, and
i commission houses were relatively idle, the
ferent and somewhat resembling what
I might be looked for in midsummer. Prices,
i however, held well for a time, although
the operations of the room traders were
confined to a few speciulties and revolved
largely around the question of dividends,
to be declared last Tuesday on Louis
ville & Nashville and Federal Steel, though
the market took a favorable view of the
( trunk lino deals and the acquisition of the
Bls Four and Lake Erie & Western by
tll vanderbilts. The relief for the monev
I market from the strain In operations of
the Januarv disbursements, and the lanre
amount of money unlocked at that time,
of which a considerable portion is presum
ably coming back into Wall street for in
! vestment, seem to have failed to produce
, the expected effect upon quotations. Money
on call ruled easy, a 5 per cent rate be-
ing generally quoted, while bankers' bal
! ances declined Friday to as low as 3V. to
j 4 per cent. Time money is, however,
firmly held at G per cent, though some
1 lenders show a disposition to relax their
attitude to the extent of putting out fundn
at the rate of GO days, while borrowers
are indifferent and inclined to wait for
easier rates.
The fall In the foreign money market
discount in London, being down to 4 per
cent, and the reduction of the Bank of
England and Bank of France minimum
figures to 5 and 4 per cent, respectively,
had a good effect, excepting in New York,
showing a tendency to decline, which neg
atives the earlier presumption that some
further amounts of gold would be shipped.
MRS. XAWTON TO MRS. LOGAN
Touching: Letter "Written Before Her
Own llcrcavcnient. i
"Washington Special to New York Press.
Mrs. Lawton expects to sail from Manila
early in January, bringing with her the
body of the general, which will be buried
in Arlington. Secretary Root has given
orders that the bodies of General Lawton,
Major John A. Logan and Lieutenant Led
yard shall be brought on the first trans
port to sail home together. General Law
ton took a fatherly interest in Major Lo
gan and Mrs. Logan. 'The major's mother
today received a letter from Mrs. Law
ton expressing her sympathy. The let
ter was written just a?ter Major Logan's
death, and it was received here just a
week after the death of her own husband.
Mrs. Logan has sent a copy of the letter
to the war department, and it is made
public simply to show how true a soldier's
wife is Mrs. Lawton. It was dated Novem
ber 15, and is as follows:
"My Dear, Dear Mrs. Logan I am per
fectly heartbroken for you, and know not
what to say. When Jack arrived, so shdrt
a time ago, I was ill in bed, but had his
room all ready, and I nad given instruc
tions to be informed the moment he land
ed. Plans were changed, and he did not
stop, but went straight on to action with
General Wheaton's brigade.
"Since his merry, warm-hearted boyhood,
your boy has been very dedr to Mr. Law
ton and me. and I did not need Mrs. Tuck
er's good letter to make me feel that no
other home must be Jack's out here but
ours. And in case of illness he should bo
my pleasant care. I was only waiting to
see Jack to answer Mrs. Tucker's letter.
"And now oh! what can I say to you?
What can I do for you? Be sure, for his
dear sake as well as yours, everything pos
sible that kind hands, loving hearts and
sympathetic presence can d,o I will do for
you. You already know where Jack died:
that he was magnificent, doing so splen
didly in every sense, worthy of his noble
father. You may all well be proud of him.
I am, and think of you with a very full
heart. May the good God give you strength
to bear this terrible sorrow. Always af
fectionately, "MARY CRAIG LAWTON."
TEXAS P,EARL HUNTERS,
Some Valuable Gems Are Fonnd in
the Lone Star State.
New York Post.
"Some fine pearls from the Concho river,
in Texas, are now marketed in this city."
said a local dealer in precious stones. "Of
late years pearl hunting in that locality
has been developed into a considerable
industry. The harvest is brought north
by a competent man about twice a year.
As a rule the pearls command as high a
price as any in the market. No finds of
extraordinary value have been made, so
far as I know, but the average is very
good. Most of the pearls find a sale at
between 55 and ?35; a good many come
nearer the latter price than the former.
Some years ago nobody considered the
Texas pearls as important: the growth of
the industry has been gradual and quiet.
"Men hunt -along the Concho from its
mouth to its source at various times; but
the most profitable fields seem to be In
Sterling, Concho and Tom Green counties,
where a number of p:arl-trading compa
nies have been organized, both for har
vesting and selling. While these counties
yield the greater part of the harvest, the
Llano river and other tributaries . of the
upper Colorado river are good hunting
grounds. I have, he.rd it said that some
valuable pearls have been found there.''

Already an American Citizen
To Acciuirc by Purchase.
It Is probable that before many moons
we will have acquired UU another new
Pacific territory the Galapagcs group,
says a Washington special to the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Therefore, It Is well to know
something about these Islands in advance.
That Uncle Sam wants them was made
evident by the recent passage of the
Lodgo resolution, practically an otllcial ob
jection to their falling into European . win was lare tha it required sS or

The group is lying idle. Ecuador, the par- j eating. Its delicious meat was what ote-
ent state, makes no use ot tnem. w e
need them as a means of protecting our
future isthmian canal. They are believed
to be for sale. Their transfer to any Eu
ropean country would be a defiance of
the Monroe doctrine. Ergo, they will be
ours.
The Galapago Islands lie 600 miles west
of Ecuador, and If populated would be
the natural stopping place for all vessels
coasting on the Pacific between North and
South American ports. They extend 90
miles north and the same distance south
of the equator. They consist of six prin
cipal islands, nine smaller and many in
significant satellites. Their name Is the
plural of the Spanish word "Galapago,"
which in English means "tortoise." The
accent is placed upon the second sylla
ble "ap."
The great Darwin, who visited them,
regarded them as one of the greatest won
ders of the world. "The archipelago is a
little world within itself." was one o
Darwin's tributes. He declared that he
never dreamed that islands so near to
gether, and surrounded by such a uniform
environment, could be tenanted by living
creatures so widely different. It was his
theory that they had never been united,
but had ever been separate volcanic peaks
protruding from the deep.
Each of the principal islands is a suc
cession of peculiarly uniform volcanic
cones, welded together by black lava
poured from the brlms of. thousands of
blazing craters. No less than 2000 craters
stand ready to belch forth death and de
struction. Only One Unman Occupant.
Chatham Island will probably be found
more suitable for our naval purposes than
any of the group. It is the nearest of all
to the South American coast, possesses a
fertile soil, and is of considerable size,
being 24 miles long by eight wide. It
contains several good anchorages, notably
Fresh Water bay, an open roadstead on
the south side,' and Stepnens bay, to the
northeast. It Is the only island of the
group where ships can now find abundant
fresh water at all times of the year.
It is a remarkable fact that the only
human occupant of the group Is already
an American citizen. This lonely inhab
itant's name is Coboss. He is an Ecua
dorian by birth, although a citizen
of the United States by naturalization.
PIo Is monarch of all he surveys In Pro
gresso, an inland village whose popula
tion once numbered 300, and which is
reached by five miles of good roadway
from a bay on the west coast. Progresso
contains land once cultivated to produce
tropical fruits, vegetables and sugar-cane.
Herds of wild cattle and many wild hogs
roam about Mr. Coboss' lonely retreat.
Albemarle, largest of the group, and fur
thest but one from the continent, is GO miles
long and 15 across at its greatest width.
It rises to six huge craters, the greatest
4700 feet high, all surrounded by hundreds
of lesser cones. One of the harbors, be
ing considered a future station for our
navy, lies between this large Island and
Narborough, westernmost and highest of
the group. This harbor is known as Ta
gua Cove. It l:es within the northern part
of a strait separating the islands, and Is
formed by an extinct crater. Its sides are
inaccessibly steep. The interior is hardly
perceptible .from the open sea.
The Abode of Ruceaiiecrs.
Commander Tanner, the officer of our
navy who lately visited the archipelago,
made some observations upen Charles
island, south of Albemarle, and 21
miles in
circumference. It is a peculiar
succession of round-topped hills, ths
highest 17S0 feet. It was once the abode
of the buccaneers, who two centuries ago
plied the waters near the rich city of Pan
ama, and were familiar with all the Gala
pages irles.
Sixty years ago Ecuador established up
on Charles island a penal colony of 200 or
SCO people, nearly all colored, banished
for political purposes. Their settlement
was five miles Inland upon a lava pla'n
1000 feet high. About the:r scattered huts
they grew sweet potatoes and bananas.
These convicts Pome years ago revolted,
killed their governor and fled. leaving be
hind pigs, cattle, donkeys and . horses,
which became wild.
Subsequent to this event, and whilo the
island was unsuspected of human occupa
tion, a man was repeating a veritable
Robinson Crusoe experience thereon. A
party from the vessel Albatross, while
collecting specimens some years ago
upon Charles Island, was surprised to set
eyes upon a man nearly naked carrying a
pig upon his back. His hair and beard
had grown to great length, and he had
