KID M’COY’S VIEWS.
Big Idea of “‘lxat. Ruined Corbett as a
Great Fighter.
Kid Bit-(Toy. the aspirant for heavy-
weight tighting honors. is far above
the average prize ring devotee in intel-
ligence. If he could fight as well as
he can to 1; he would be the champion
easily, and this is not reflecting the
slightest upon his pugilis‘tic prowess.
In a conversation the' other day, he
said: >
“Tom Ryan was my ideal of a box—
er, as be combined the elements of
the boxer and the fighter. It was my
ambition to master the game of box—
ing to such a fine point that I would
surpass him. I believe that I have
succeeded. I worked with Ryan in
preparing him for one of his lights.
I sparred him twice a day, and he
gave me many valuable pointers,
though I picked up many by secretly
studing his methods. He never knew
that I had an ambition to beat him,
and he would never give me credit
for improving. That’s where he made
a mistake. and many boxers have
made the same error. If I defeat a
man and make anotlber match with
him, then I always allow that he has
improved some since last I met him.
Ee may really be on the down grade,
but by allowing for improvement in
his work i play on the Sfllfe side.
which is better than holding a man
cheap. I will admit that Tom Ryan
gave. me my most valuable hints on
boxing. but I have studied over Ryan’s
methods and tried to improve on them. '
I watched old Jack Dempsey closely
when ho used to spur. and I also kept,
close tab on .l‘im Jorbctt. I always
fancird (‘orhctt‘s ‘hand work. but was
never impressed with his footwork.
He does too much ineffectual footwork
Ryan is a more deceptive man in this
rcspcct than Corbett. Ryan, though
many of his victims never realized it,
is twice as clever on his feet as Cor-
bett. Some of his prettiest feints are
with his feet. From 'Ryan. Corbett,
Fitzsimmons and Dcmpsey I have'
tried to build up a. style of my own.
As my style is taken on] a. combina—
tion of other men’s ideas, it cannot be
called original. But I intend to play
my combination. Within the last
year or so I haven’t attended many
boxing contests, because when a box—
]:er sits at a ringside and keeps a care-
ful eye on the performers in the ring
he might see a certain effective blow
delivered that hd might try himelf.
'About every boxer has his peculiari-
ties of style, and if I were to make an
attempt to copy the tricks of every
boxer I see I would run the risk of
spoiling my own system. That’s why
I don’t care about Witnessing many
fights. “’hen I am boxing with my
sparring partner an idea may occur to
me that will set me to thinking the
next time we put on the gloves. I
will try this idea in practice until I
have it down at my fingers’ tips if it
is any good. If it isn’t, then I drop it.
Too much exhibition boxing with
sparring partners will ruin any fight-
er. It killed Jim Corbett, when com-
bined with wretched training. But as
far as hitting powers are concerned,
Corbett was never accused of possess-
ing enough damaging power to jar
the Brooklyn Bridge foundation or
Spoil the face of a Sharkey. But con-
stant sparring exhibitions. tapping
with the open glove and walitzing
around like a song and dance sou-
bnette killed what little capability he
possessed as a slugger. In my en-
gagements I make matches that de-
mand clean hitting for everything
there’s in me and I place it on the en-
emy as hard as I can. There is no
give-and—take love -tapping and straw-
t’ickling. I fling every ounce of steam
aunt’s in me. Of course, when. in
training with my sparring partner.
Doc Payne, I am on my good behav-
ior; that is, I let up on him~hold my-
self in check. These little boats in
training just keep my hand in. Cor-
bett toured the country for years with
a sparring partner. He warded oi!
challenges and refused to box unless
he had a camera or a calcium light
turned on him and his partner was in
front of him to get back in milk and
water style.
will never do, as Corbett has found
out. In six years he made four fights
and lost two. If he hadn’t been for-
tunate in having John Kelly for ref-
eree at Jacksonville he would have
lost there, as be technically lost to
Mitchell on a foul. That’s wlhmt I call
the worst record ever established by a.
heavyweight American champion.

SANITATION OF HAVANA.
Fast. us liIeans “’ill Allow.
\Vashington, Jan. 11.--The Secretary
1 of war evidently intends to carry out;
Colonel Viaring’s plan for the sanita-
tion cf Havana as fast as the means at
'his disposal will allow.
It is understood that some of th-
work is already laid out on Colonel
i'aring’s lines. and more will be tak—
er: in hand as the money forit accu—
mulatos.
It is considered in the administration
circle that the wisest course with re-
gard 'to everything Cuban will be to
make the island pay for its own work.
This will obviate the necessity of call-
ing upon Congress for any assistance
in a financial way and the use of the
collected taxes to make‘permanent im-
provements will enable the United
Ftatcs to turn over the island to its.
future governors in a first rate condi-
tion. ~~. .
The president has power under his
general authority as commander-in-
chief of our military forces to do what.
he pleases with the various islands now
under our military Control, and the
only hand Congress will have in the
matter, so far as can now be foreseen,
will be the receipt of occasional reports
of progress in the form of executive
mess-ages. .
Colonel Y‘Varing’s estimate of the ini—
provements needed in Havana sets the
cost at about ten million dollars. The
customs receipts of the island of Cuba
for a period of twelve years under
Spanish rule, and including some years
of insurgent warfare, thinly disguised
official oeculation, and other discour—
aging conditions, averaged nearly thir—
teen millifm dollars a year.
The receipts at Havana alone made
up nearly nine millions of this total.
The best qualified experts who have
looked into the subject lately agree in
predicting that with the' present pro-
visional tariff and an honest adminis-
tration of the customs, the-receipts
from imposts will come very near to
doubling those under Spanish rule. In
that case. although Havana'would re—
ceive only her pro rata share of the-
money collected, there would be enough
of that to carry out the Waring pro-
gramme with a neat surplus to devote
to other purposes.
It is said to be the president’s desire
to give such an exhibition of the pos-
sibilities of wholesome administration
in Cuba as will set the pace for tho
Cuban administratitm. if it ever comes;
on the theory that, having once tasted
the fruits of good government, the Cu—
bans will not allow their own adminis-
tration to fall very far short of tho
sta idard set up by the TTniicd States
government while in possession of the
island. ‘
DREYFUS CASE AGAIN.
Drcyfns‘s Reply {cad to :ihc. Cabinet.
(.‘lmmlwr of Deputies Elects.
Paris, Jan. 11.-—The resignation of
M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire as presi—
dent of the civil section of the court of
cassation has revived interest in the
Dreyfus case, which had calmed down
during the last few days to the fever
point.
The anti-Dreyfusites are doing ev-
erything possible to diScredit the court
of cassation, as it is generally accept—
ed in the best informed circles that the
court is preparing to render judgment
in favor of Dreyfus.
The minister of justice, M. Lebrer,
announced that M. Mazeau. the firrt
president of the court of cessation, will
preside over the criminal section of the
court of cassation instead of M. Loew.
when the Dreyfus inquiry is terminat-
ed and the court meets to make a de-
cision.
This step has been taken in conse—
quence of the virulent attacks on M.
Loew. based on the fact that he is a
Jew. .
The minister also read the telegraph—
ic deposition from Dreyfus, in which
he not only-declared that he had nev-
or confessed that' he was guilty to
Captain Lebrun-Renault who had
charge of the prisoner at the time of
his condemnation and degradation, but
insisted that he had always protested
his innocence and had intimated, after
his degradation on the parade ground
of the military school at Paris, his in—
tention to declare publicly that his in—
nocence would be recognized in two
or three years.

whither he was sent as special com—
missioner -by' President McKinley.
‘spoke at Cooper Union under the aus-
pices of the People’s Institute on
“Practical Problems that Confront us
in Cuba."
Mr. Porter stated that he had been
ordered by the president to consider
only the good: of all the people of Cuba
in making his report, and not to be in-
fluenced by either Spanish or Cuban
nationality. _
He wasto remember that Cuba was
not a possession, but a trust. The
tariff regulations recommended by him
Went into effect on January .2, This
tariff was only twenty-five per cent. of
the one charged by the Spaniards, but
he thought it would prove ample, as
“honest men and not thieves would col-
lect and administer the revenues.”
Mr. Porter said that the political fut—
ure of Cuba. was a: difficult problem to
dispose of. The intelligent Cubans fa—'
vored annexation, but? he was firmly
convinced that the Cubans could gov-
ern themselves, and ”would make ap-
plication for admission to the Union.

American girls, according to Dean

A close approach to total abstinence
from alcohol in any form now has its
advocates in the medical profession.
They view the question entirely from
the practical, professional standpoint,
and assert not only that intoxicanlts
are of no medical value except in rare
instances, but that in the vast major-
ity of diseases they are positively de-
leterou-s, even when administred in
minute quantities as the vehicles for
other drugs. At a meeting of the New
York State Medical Association few
of the papers read excited more dis-
cussion than did one by Dr. J. M.
Farrington, of Broome County, on
"‘The Passing of Alcohol.” He declar~
ed that belief in the remedial efficacy
of alcohol, which was practically un-
animous a few years ago, is now held
by a minority of the profession, the
majority agreeing that" alcohol im-
pairs instead of aiding digestion, that
it invariably retards, perverts, or de-
stroyscell growth, and that its effects
are depressing instead of stimulating.
\In the discussion that followed the
reading'of the paper, its conclusions
were criticised by some of the doctors
present, but their objections seemed to
