SS eed CURRENT SPORTING NOTES CARSON, Nev., February 18.—Corbett will go out to the springs today and begin his regular program, remaining there until March 17. He smoked his last cigar last night, throwing away the stub, and aban- doned with it all the dissipations indulged in by men who are not in training for a $15,000 purse. Julian has selected quarters for Fitzsim- mens. The place is known as Cook's Ranch. It is a clearing, covering several acres, about three miles south of Carson, and lies in a little valley at the foot of a spur of the mountains. The dwelling house contains eight comfortable..rooms, and is surrounded by a pretty grove of trees. About fifty yards from this building is a pavilion 100 feet square, used in the sum- mer time by the people for dancing. In this pavilion Fitzsimmons will do most of his. work. His circular steel bag, punching ap- paratus and other exercising gear were taken out to the ranch by Julian this morning. There are several good rvads in the neighborhood of the place, and on these the Australian will do a great deal of leg work before the fight. He will arrive here Saturday. It is probable that cne or two men will be brought up from San Fran- cisco to do work with Fitzsimmons for a week or two before he meets his opponent. Mysterious rumors of applications for seats at the fight from United States sena- tors, and even one or two retiring cabinet officers, are in the air, and Stuart and his friends talk confidently uf the presence of a select and imposing assemblage. Wheelock received notice last evening of two more train parties. They come from Cincinnati and Louisville, and will contain altogether nearly 200 persons. T. R. Hoffer, late superintendent of the Carson mint, and Henry Daugherty of the local water company are to have charge cf the food arrangements in the vicinity of the amphitheater on the day of the fight. CORNELL ADMITS YALE. Asks That the Penna. and Columbia Eights Be Included in the Race. Probably no athletic arrangement in the histcry of rowing was ever entered into with greater alacrity than that by which Cornell yesterdzy accepted the proposal made by Harvard that Yale be admitted to the Harvard-Cornell race. Capt. Goodrich of the Harvard crew ar- rived at Ithaca Tuesday afternoon with the propcsition. The athletic council met yes- terday afternoon and came to the following decision: g “We are in receipt of the Harvard Boat Club request that we adi Yale in the Harvard-Cornell race this year. We cor- dially accept this proposal and proffer a counter request that thet University of Penrsylvania and Columbia be admitted to the same race, and in case such arrange- ment is made the date July 2 or June 25 will be acceptable to Cornell, for the race.’ Capt. Spillman was seensafter he read the council's statement. He was giving vent to the ‘expressiohs of! joy and said that the prospect that, thé* present crew would be the first in, moré than a score of years to meet Yale: would make them redouble their efforts im preparation. All the boys are happy over’the. prospect and believe no better action could. have been taken. There will certainly be no lack of enthusizsm and the riyalry for places in the boat will be the ehottest ever known nere/ 7: Préf. Wheeler, the faculty adviser, says: “In accepting Harvard's proposal for a race with Yale at .Poughkeepsie Cornell has made no attempt: whatsoever to obtain stipulations regarding future races for her- self. Her active influence has been direct- ed tcward opening the race to her old col- leagues, Pennsylvania and Columbia. She confidently expects that her prompt and uncenditional acceptance of Harvard’s frierdly proposal will give added weight to a@ proposal made in equally friendly spirit and which must in itself strongly appeal to the sportsmanlike magnanimity of those to whem it is addressed." What Yale Thinks of It. A New Haven dispatch sent last night says: The news that Cornell has agreed to row Yale along with Harvard at Pough- keepsie was received here tonight. If Cor- nell’s action were not qualified by a coun- ter request that Pennsylvania and Colum- bia also be admitted there would be great rejoicing in the New Haven camp. As it is it can be put down for a certainty that Yale will not row if either Columbia or Pennsylvania are admitted. While Cornell’s sportsmanlike action, in starding by Pennsylvania and Columbia, is commended kere, it is looked upon sim- ply as a request, and it !s not thought that the Ithacans will insist. upon such a con- dition. A special dispatch to the Philadelphia Times expresses the opinion that there is no chance of Columbia and Pennsylvania being admitted. It says: It is certain that Captain Goodrich came to Ithaca prepared to state definitely and finally Harvard’s po- sition in the matter. There is but one chance that Harvard had made agreement with Yale to refuse this request. Having refused it, she has fulfilled her agreement, but may present the proposal to Yale again upon receipt of Cornell's answer. This rep- resentation to Yale will certainly be una- vailing, but Cornell desired to have this last effort made. There is now nothing to do but to arrange to meet the University of Pennsylvania and Colunibia in a separate race. This will mean two tripartite races on the Hudson. MAGNATES POOH-HOO IT. Not Alarmed at the Story of a Base Ball War. According to severai of the base ball magnates there is no danger of a split in the National League which will amount to anything. Frank De Haas Robison of Cleveland 1s one of those who makes this arnouncement, contenting himself with simply saying: “There will be no base ball war.”’ In re- gard to this also, Andrew Freedman of the New York club had this to say: “Any talk of the ‘Little Seven’ starting clubs in the cities of the ‘Big Five,’ Phil- acelphia, Boston, Chigago, Pittsburg and New York, does not cause us any fear. There are no available sites whatever in these cities, and furthermofe the Brooklyn club has been offered for sale recently without any great desire ‘on the part of anybody to invest. 7 ., “Periodically rumoraarigd in this section for the purpose of aiding one of the clubs to sell its stock cr franghl this club fan- cying that it will force,a purchase of a dis- turbing element in the:Jeagwe, but the big clubs are not buying any. ferced stock, and the said club must sinktor #wim on its own responsibility. nu alt “Base ball players ard satisfied with their condition, their treatment. and their sala- ries, and not 2 per ceat of the league play- ers would join any oppositign even if such an impossible propdsitt was to be started. kine “All this war business. isia flash in the pan, and provokes only laughter from Pee who are acquainted with the situa- ion.” STRONGEST LOCAL PLAYERS, Washingt Hockey Team to Meet the Baltimores Tonight. There will be an interesting game of hockey at the Convention Hall Ice Palace tonight between the Maryland Athletic Club and the All-Washington teams. The game will begin at 8 o'clock and -short halves will be played, so as to allow those who attend the rink for the skating afford- || ed to heve the use of the ice in as short a time as possible. ‘The Maryland Athletic Club team is one of the strongest hockey teams in the east- ern states and has defeated or broken even with the best teams south of Canada. The men are all ex ly fine skaters and play a scientific, hard game of hockey that should nct fail to be interesting. The team which will line up against the visitors will be the strongest that has ever represented the capital city. fully able to cope with the Baltimore team and the score will not only be a close one, but small as well. Some of the best play- ers In this part of the country will be seen in. the Washington line and will lend strength to positions that have been Each team has a strong following and it is Ukely that the Baltimore team will bring a large number of “rooters,’’ who will en- deavor to overcome the strength of the local team in various ways. The local team also has a number of friends, who will be out in force. Hockey has never been very well played in this city on account of the lack of in- terest manifested in the sport, and because of the lack of available material from which to select a team. The game tonight, how- ever, will be a scientific exhibition, and although the Baltimore team is now ahead in the struggle for the championship in that city and is an exceptionally strong team, there are many who believe that the strengthened Washington team will More than able to hold its own. The line up will be as follows: Maryland—A. C. Peterson (captain), cen- ter; Simmons, right forward; Corning, left forward; Perry, rover; Foucke, cover point; Cochran, point; Krebbs, goal. Washington—Scholl, goal; Hendley, point; Morris, cover point; Williams, left for- ward: Matze (captain), rover; Bushnell, center; Hodges, right forward. BOWLING. The second teams of the Saengerbund and the Washington Athletic Club rolled a set of ten pins on the alleys of the Saenger- bund last night.

Statesmen Propose to See the Fight. A resolution was introduced in the Mis- sourl house yesterday calling upon the speaker to appoint a special commission of five to go to Nevada and witness the Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight so as to learn whether it would be well for Missouri to follow Nevada’s example in legalizing pu- gilistic encounters. Middle States Regatta Association. At the annual meeting of the Middle States Regatta Association held at New York last night the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Judge Jas. G.

W., said: “This talk of a western split from the L. A. W. is nonsense. The report has gone out that Colorado will lead the movement and E. 8. Hartwell of Denver is quoted as authority. Mr. Hartwell was appointed vice consul in order to carry the proxies to Albany, and agreed to resign after the as- sembly. I telegraphed for his resignation and received it this evening. “While willing that any section of the country should have Sunday racing if it desires it, I consider the whole racing busi- ness a minor branch of the league work. I shall favor no defection myself, nor will I tolerate any action detrimental to league interests on the part of any official of this division.” Basket Ball. Last night a team composed of members of Company C, Washington Light Infantry, defeated the Queer Wheelmen in a game of basket ball by a score of 10 to 4. As this is the first appearance in public of Com- pany C, the boys felt very happy over their victory. FARMERS’ ALLIANCE. A Brief Meeting of the Executive Com- mittee Held Today, The Supreme Council of the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union adjourned this morning, after a short ses- ston of the executive committee, which was elected last night. The executive commit- tee considered matters relating to the bus- iness management of the alliance. President Page this morning received a telegram conveying fraternal greetings from the Alliance Afd, In session at Dallas, Tex. The telegram stated that the aid had changed its name, but the new name was not given. The supposition also is that the aid has ceve-ed its connection with the al- lance, and bas dectded to become an in- dependent organization, with a charter of its own. The executive committee this morning eiected the following national lecturers: R. A. Southworth, Denver, Col., for the western district; Hamlin 'V. Poor, Bird Island, Minn., for the northwest, and F. H. Pensol of Parkersburg, West Virginia, for the south. These lecturers visit the different states, and keep the members re- freshed as to their duties, etc. President Page left the city today, and the majority of the other delegates will leave this afternoon, New Officers Elected. , Before adjourning last night the Supreme Council went into the election of officers, which resulted as follows: Mann Page, Brondon, Va., president; C.

Result of a Ruling by the Speaker of the Kansas Legislature. ‘The exciting scenes in the Kansas house of representatives in 1893, when the popu- list minority resisted the rule of the repub- lican majority, were equaled at yesterday’: session of that body, when the populisis overrode the republicans roughshod. At the opening of the session Mr. True- blood’s resclution to appoint a committee to revise the calendar was brought up. Speaker Pro Tem Weilep gave the repub- licans notice at the start that the ma- jority would brook no obstruction. He would rule, he said, that the calendar could be revised by the vote of a bare ma- rity. et Cubbison (republican) protested that such action would require a two-thirds vote, and Mr. Lambert said the courts would pronounce illegal any bills which the populists might pass in the manner indicated. ‘The latter demanded a roll call upon the appointment of the committee to but this was ignored by Speaker Wellep, who put the previous question to a viva voce vote. The republicans broke into an uproar, demanding recognition and repeatedly ask- ing for a roll call. Speaker Wellep threatened them with the sergeant-at-arms, but without avail, and then called up the first bill on the calen- dar.
