WASHINGTON, Dec. 81.-The totalnumber of vessels ? built and officiallynumbered by the bureau of navigationduring the calendar year just closed was964, of 267,512 gross tons, compared with966, of 237,600 gross tons for the year 1898.Steam vessels built during 1899 numbered4.., of 150,132 gross tons, compared with650 ef 169,602 gross tons, for 1898. Sailingvessels numbered 538, of 17,807 gross tons,compared with 408, of 57,998 gross tons, for1898

The Increase Is almost wholly on thsAtlantic and Gulf coasts, whore 565 ves-sels, of 168,619 gross tons were built, com-pared with 638 vessels of 86,006 gross tonsfor 1898. On the Pacific coaat only 114 ves-sels, of 20,807 gross tons, were built, com-pared with 240, of 51,923 gross tons, for theprevious year. This falling off In con-struction on the Pacific coast. In spite ofthe fact that the Alaskan trade next yearwill be very large, Is due partly to tbebelief that American merchant vesselshitherto employed as transports to Man-ila will be released and enter the coastingtrade In the spring. Construction on thelakes comprised seventy vessels, of 72,094gross tons, compared with slxty-slx, of78,057 gross tons, for 1898; on the Missis-sippi and Western rivers, 112, of 11,942 grosstons, compared with 111, of 14,606 grosstons, for 1898. The total output for theUnited Kingdom for the year has notbeen ascertained, but It will exceed 744steamships, of 1.368,319 gross tons, all ofwhich were steel, built during 1898. Thereturns for the first six months of thefiscal year show the construction In theUnited States of 627 vessels of 133,487 grosstons, compared with 811 vessels, of 130,164gross tons, for the corresponding sixmonths of the previous fiscal year. Noneof the foregoing figures Include unriggedbarges and canal boats. Including these,ths total documented tonnage built Inthe United States during the current fis-cal year bids fair to be somewhat over800,000 gross tons.

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.?Despite the wide-spread circulation of reports to the ef-fect that the pugilistic encounter betweenKid McCoy and Peter Maher would nottake place, on account of Illness In thefaintly of one of the principals, It is offi-cially announced tonight that the battlewill take place as scßeduled at 8:30 p. m.tomorrow.

McCoy and Maher are said to be In per-fect physical condition as the result ofsix weeks of hard training. Both conclud-ed their preparation for tne battle todaywith mild exercises. McCoy's work con-sisted of a five-mile horseback ride, toss-ing the medicine ball, a cold shower bathand a hard rub-down. At the conclusionof hla exercise McCoy said he never feltbetter prepared for a light In hla life.

There Is no doubt that the "Kid's"physique has undergone a wonderful im-provement. As far as strength andweight Is concerned, he is a better mantoday than ever. In former battles Mo-Coy has been reluctant as to making aknockout prediction, but for his fight withMaher he states that he will surely downthe Irishman inside the limit of twenty-five rounds.

Maher's final work for the battle con-sisted of an eight-mile spin on the roadsin the vicinity of the Morris Park racetrack, light sparring ana mild exercisewith the medicine ball. The Irishmansaid that his condition was absolutelyperfect, and that he expected to experi-ence very little trouble in defeating Mc-Coy.

Should Maher win he will be once againin line for world's championship honors.A victory over Maher would also meanconsiderable to McCoy, consequently sport-in* men are taking a deep interest in theresult

McCoy has selected as his place duringthe battle the southwest corner, whichSharkey occupied in his fight with Jeff-ries. Maher will have the northeast cor-ner. McCoy's advisers will be Wm. Mul-doon, Homw Selby, Jimmy De Forest andJoe Falvey. Maher's seconds will be PeterBurns, Peter Lowery and Jack Maher.

What betting was done today and to-night established Maher as a decided fav-orite over McCoy, 100 to go on the Irishmanbeing offered in large amounts, and if anysupporters of the Kid were anxious to beta hundred or so he found no great diffi-culty in getting his money on at 7 to 10.Pittsburg Phil succeeded today In get-ting $5,000 on Maher, In small and largeamounts, and now stands to lose fully$15,000 if Maher should be beaten. Hislargest bet was one of *2,000 to SI,OOO, Inwhich a Providence man took the McCoy-end.

Eddie Burke wagered SI,OOO on Peter withJimmy Wakeley, who put up SBOO.

"Honest John' 1 Kelly placed one bet ofSI,OOO to SBOO with Bllley Hayes. In addi-tion he made several SSO and SIOO bets onPeter, and said he had $5,000 left to wagerthe same way. Joe Vendlg had consid-erable money on Maher of the 10 to 8 kind.Harry Corbett, who came from Californiato see the fight, bet SBOO to SI,OOO on McCoy,"Pittsburg Phil" taking the Maher end.

The purse for which Maher and McCoywill struggle will be $20,000. Of this sumthe winner will receive $15,000.
