TRAINING AT CARSON How the Pugilists Are Putting in Their Time. FITZ PROFESSES GREAT CONFIDENCE Corbett Doing Light Work and Playing Hand Bail. IS STILL THE FAVORITE ee CARSON, Nev., March 9.--Fitzsimmons put in as much time during early morning yesterday playing with his dog as he did working, but along toward noon concluded that a little leg work would be the thing for him and began sprinting up and down the yerd for a short time and then started out cr the rcad for a run. He made fast time considerirg the awful ccndition the roads are in and was at home to do a little light work in the gymnasium before dinner. Mrs. Fitzsimmons reported to her hus- band that there were many people in the east who sided with Corbett and she ques- ticred whether she should have done any betting. “I am going to win the fight,” said Fitz- simmons. “You can judge from that wheth- er you should have done any betting. If I should lose, however, don't ask me to pay your bets, because if I don’t win I shall have a few troubles of my own. “I don’t care much about how the betting goes anyhow,” continued Fitzsimmons. “I have generally been on the short end and it don’t worry me a bit. They said Hall was going to lick me and that Creedon was going to do the same thing. Well, you know how they did it. I tell you right now that Corbett is going to do it just the way they did it, and no other way.” Corbett put in the time in the moraing going light work and playing hand ball. Yesterday morning Charley White declared Jim would do road work during the day, but the trainer changed his mind and Jim did his sprinting around the hand ball court. George Green, “Young Corbett,” who took a plunge into Carson river Sunday, is still suffering with a cold as the result of the bath. He declares, however, that it is nut sufficiently serious to keep him out of con- dition, Carrying with him the coveted sack for the ownership of which Corbett and Fitz- simmons are preparing themselves ta con- test, Al Smith, purseholder and stake de- pository for the big fight, has arrived at San Francisco. He left New York about a week ago, spent a day in Salt Lake and came straight through to San Franctsco to see his old friend Ed Fay of the Grand Hotel last night and to see the races. In addition to the $15,000 for which Cor- bett and Fitzsimmons will fight, Smith has with him certified checks amounting to $15,000. He has $10,000 put up by Corbett and Fitzsimmons as a side bet, $5,000 each, and $2,500 from each contestant, which will be forfeited in case of their failure to ap- Fear in the ring. Smith said that he did not care to express any opinion about ihe fight. on which he had rot and did not in- tend to bet a dollar. He wiil remain in San Francisco until Friday, when he comes to Carson. _New York, he says, will send a large con- ingent to the fight, but a far greater num- ber will come from Chicago. The weacher is pleasant today, but on account of the mud traveling is very dis- agreeable. The curious visitor who calls at the camp of Fitzsimmons does so zen- erally at the price of a suit of clothes. The road to Corbett’s camp is somewhat better, but in any other part of the world would not be classed as a road at all. The feeling in favor of Corbett is grow- ing strorger. He has been favorite at all times, but as the number of sporting men here increase his stock soes up according- ly. One reason for this is that the cham- pion trains in a sys:2matie manner, which all visitors can comprehend. Fitzsimmons, on the other hand, trains as his somewhat erratic fancy seems to dictate, and although it cannot be denied his methods result in putting him into the best possible condition, the majority of the people who go to see him do not approve his methods, because there seems to be little of practical system and routine,which is so evident in Corbett’s work. Fitzsim- mons is a law unto himself in training, as well as In methods of fighting, and many men are betting against him because they do not think that such ways as his can put a man in as good condition as is necessary for success in the ring. - Al. Smith, the stakeholder, is in San Francisco. It is said he will be in Carson in a few days. Dan Stuart fs still ill, and unable to leave ihe house yet. He did manage to get out of doors yesterday for a short time, but cid not make an attempt to make a trip to his office. It will be several days before he is able to attend to business. pastes einai TO STOP PETTY SMUGGLING. Leading Retail Merchants of Chicago Will Take Action. CHICAGO, March 9.—Seventy-five of the leading retail merchants of Chicago will hold a meeting this evening at the Great Nerthern Hotel to form an organization, the object of which will be the prevention of fashionable smuggling by either well-to- do immigrants or citizens of this country re- turning from European tours. The imtention is to bring influences to bear upon Congress that will secure the passage of revenue jaws that will put an end to the business. The merchants interested have been in- formed of the active sympathy of Presi- dent McKinley and the lower house of Congress. : —_+ —___ ON UNCOMPAHGRE RESERVATION.

PRICE, Utah, March 9.—The orders from department headquarters to remove the in- truders from the Uncompahgre reservation have not yet been received, and hundreds of settlers still remain on the reservation and declare that nothing but a military force will move them off. . The “sooners” openly defy the agency officials, and many of them are actually working their claims. ————— The New York serate has passed the bill providing that there shall be fesued to the state officers, their deputies, the senators and assemblymen and the clerks of each house certificates allowing their transpor- tation upon all railroad lines in the state during their term of office. gecesescccescoecoescoecoes sLiebig $ ;Company’s ;Extract of Beef The first in the field and still unrivalled The great chemist Baron JUSTUS VON LIEBIG, made the first scientific effort to produce an extract of meat.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.—The stock- holders’ annual meeting of the Pennsylva- nia Railroad Company was held at Hor- tleultural Hall today. The principal bus ness of the meeting was discussion and acoption of the fiftieth annual revort and the appointment of a committee of seven shareholders to nominate a board of di- rectors for the ensuing year, to be voied upon March 23. In view of the death of the late presi- dent, George B. Roberts, and the many changes which have been made in the manegement of the road in consequence, the meeting was looked forward to with interest by the stockholders and the at- tendance was proportionately large. The meeting was called to order by John ©, Sims, secretary of the company. The meeting lasied only twenty minutes. General Louis Wagner of this city was chosen to preside. The resolutions on the death of Gcurge B. Roberts adopted by the beard of directors last month were unan- imously readopted. President Frank Thom- son delivered a brief address eulosistic of Mr. Roberts’ character and service. He said the strong trait of his character was his devotion to duty. He had served the Pennsylvania Railroad Company faithfully for more than thirty years, and in all his pesitions displayed ability second to that of no man. The usual committee to elect a board of directors was chosen, and the meeting ad- jeurned. The present board will undoubt- edly be re-elected. FINED FOR SPITTING. - A New Yorker Who Defied Good Man- ners and the Law. NEW YORK, March 9.—Thomas Evans, an engineer, has had the distinction con- ferred upon him of being the first person fined for violation of the rule of the board of health prohibiting expectorating in a public conveyance. Evans, who was rid- ing in a trolley car in Harlem section, de- fied the conductor when that functionary called the attention to the rule against spitting upon the floor of the car, and the conductor caused his arrest, the police magistrate asserting the dignity of the law by imposing upon the offender a fine of $5. ee WANT MERCY FOR MATTHEWS.

Matthews, who will be hanged in Charles county Friday, be ccmmuted. Mrs. Mollie A. Richards of Baltimore brought a petition signed by nearly 1,400 Baltimoreans, asking for the commutation, this merning; but the governcr informed her that he would not interfere with the sentence of the court. A number of pro- tests nave also been filed. aaa ene Dr. Rais'‘s Widow Arrives. NEW YORK, March 9.—Among the pas- sengers arriving on board the Ward Line steamer Seneca from Havana today was Mrs. Rita Lescade de Ruiz, widow of Dr. Ruiz, who died in prison in Cuba. She was accompanied by her five children, ranging in age from three to thirteen years. Mrs. Ruiz speaks no English. Mrs. Rufz was dressed in deep mourning, as were the two oldest girls, Mercedes, thirteen years old, and Evangeline, aged eleven. Mrs. Ruiz said that she had noth- ing to add to what she had already said in relation to the murder of her husband or his treatment as an American citizen by the Spanish government. “He was foully murdered,” she said, “and I will take such action as I may be advised by my friends. I want to thank the Ameri- can people for the expressions of sympathy, and I cannot say too much of my heart- felt thanks at the kindness of Consul Gen- eral Lee. For the present I will be in the city with friends.” . Mrs. Ruiz’s appearance and manner in- dicate that she is in a high state of ner- vousness and in need of much care before regaining her usual health and strength. It is likely that her case will be placed be- fore the administration at Washington as soon as possible, in form of a demand for indemnity from the Spanish government. ae SS ‘The Fayerweather Will Case. ALBANY, N. Y., M&rch 9.—The court of appeals today denied the motion of the next of kin of John B. Fayerweather, the late millionaire leather merchant of New York city, to amend the remittur made in the decision of the case one month ago, by sending it back to the justice before whom is was originally brought to pass upon the validity of a certain release of rights made by the widow and next of kin to the exec- utors under the will. The division of the estate, as ordered by the late decision of the court, stands, and the remittur, un- .amended, must now be filed. —_.___- After a Third Term. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 9.—Repre- sentative R.

The evidence showed that Mrs. McGregor had employed Alberta out of pity, as the girl told her a sorrowful tale regarding her distressed condition. Miller told Alberta that she “was the worst thief that had ever been brought be- fore him.” Margaret Wilson, who has already serv- ed a number of terms in the workhous was today again sent down for fifteen day by Judge Kimball for vagrancy.

GREATIS THE PRESSURE ‘There was a decided falling off in the number of visitors in the up-town depart- ments today, and the corridors presented an almost normal appearance. The State and Treasury Departments had more callers than the others, and the treasury was far in the lead of the foreign office. The doors of Secretary Sherman’s office were open all day, and he received everybody who called up to 11 o'clock, when he was sum- moned to the White House to attend the first regular meeting of the present cabinet. Probably his most conspicuous callers were Senators Teller and Pettigrew, who appar- ently made the round of all the executive departments today. Their action was ac- cepted by many as an indication of friend- ship for the administration, despite a dif- ference on questions of finance. It has been arranged that Secretary Sher- man shall receive the members of the dip- lomatic corps at the Staje Department offi- cially tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock and escort them to the White House, in order that each may be formaily presented to President McKinley. It is expected that an assistant Secretary of state will be appointed before the close of the week, in order that the Secretary may be partially relieved ot the burden- some duty of listening to the claims of the jegion of applicants for appointment in the «iplomatic and consular service. At the War Department. Secretary Alger had a large number of callers at the War Department today, but not nearly so many-as thronged the cor- ridors yesterday. Among those who ex- tended congratulations today were Sena- ters Morrill, Hi Teller and Pettigrew, and Represeniative Hull of the military affairs committee. Gen. Doe is still acting as assistant secretary of war, but it is not believed there will be much delay in the appointment of his successor. He has placed his resignation at the disposal of Gen. Alger,” but will not leave until he can do so without embarrassment to the ad- ministration. Candidates for this office are numerous, bui the indications point to the ultimate selection of Mr. Harrison G. Otis, the accomplished editor of the Los An- geles Times. The friends of Chief Clerk Tweedale, however, are still honeful of his promotion to the assistant secretary- ship. Secretary Long had his share of congres- sional and other visitors before the assem- bling of the cabinet. He found time, how- ever, to dispose of a mass of personal cor- respondence and to discuss pressing offi- cial business with Admiral Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation; Commodore Matthews, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, and Capt. Sampson, chief of the bureau of ordnance. The new naval Ssc- retary is a rapid worker, and he kept Pri- vate Secretary Finney and his assistants hustling all day to keep up with him. Have No Patronage. The paucity of callers at the War and Navy departments today is undoubtedly due in great measure to the fact that the heads of those departments have practical- ly no patronage in their control. Each has an assistant secretary, and each has a private secretary, and each may fill vacan- cies in the force of charwomen, but that is the full extent of their powers in the mat- ter of appointments. All the other offices in the Waar and Navy departments are in the classified service and are subject to civil service laws and regulations. No change has been made in the office of assistant secretary in either department. Mr. Long has already appointed his pri- vate secretary, and it is suid Gen. Alger has selected a young man to fill a simiiar position in his offices It is not considered probable that any change will be made in the force of charwomen. These places are poorly paid, and are now filled by the most part by deserving women with families to support. Most of the number are widows of soldiers who died for the Union. There promises to be a big struggle for the office of assistant secretary of the navy, and it was stated today as indica- tive cf a long delay in its settlement that Assistant Secretary McAdoo, the demo- cratic incumbent, has been notified that his services may be required for several months to come. It 1s not believed that there is anything serious in the reported candidacy of Ad- miral Walker, who will be placed on the retired Hst on the 20th instant, for the reason that he is ineligible for the office so long as he remains in the navy, either on the active or the retired list. The statute creating the office provides that its incumbent must be appointed from civil life. To meet this requirement it woul be necessary for Admiral Walker to re- sign his naval commission. Such action on his part would result in a financial sacri- fice and at the same time would deprive him of the privilege of again entering the naval service in the event of war. Only Civilians Wanted. It is said that Secretary Long is opposed to the selection of any one for ihis purely civil office wo has ever held a commission in the navy, and this alleged policy is held to be prejudicial to the chances of three of the candidates, viz., ex-Representative Robinson of Pennsylvania, Mr. Elliott of Indiana and Lieut. Jaques of New Jersey. Mr. Robinson had an interview with Sec- retary Long today, but -the result is not known. A new candidate appeared today in the person of ex-Representative George W. Hulick of Ohio, who was a member of the House naval committee for four years. As chairman of the subcommittee en rank of the raval committee he drew up the compromise measure for reorganizing the personnel of the navy. He was a member of the District of Columbia committe for two successive terms. Secretary Gage had another busy day in receiving callers. The ways and means committee of the House, headed by Mr. Dirgley of Maine, called in a body and were presented to the Secretary. Senators Teiler, Pettigrew, Proctor, Gear and Cul- lom, Representatives Hitt and White of North Carolina and ex-Representative Cheatham were among the morning callers who desired to pay their respects. It now seems improbable that any considerable number of treasury nominations will be sent to the Senate tomorrow. There are five or six vacancies in the offices of col- lectors of i1@rnal revenue, and one or two places of a more or less contidential character in the Secretary’s office which probably will be filled first. The chief clerk and the appointment clerk usually are changed very soon after a new Sec- retary is installed, and it Is probable that the usual course will be pursued in this instance. Both of these positions are under the civil service rules, so that they will have to be filled by promotions or under rule 10, which makes an exception in favor of ex-soldiers or sailors. In their cases the rules permit reinstatements, ir- respective of the length of time they were out of the service. In all other cases the one-year rule applies. The assistant sec- retaries probably will be changed within the next few days. Mr. J. K. Upton of Maryland, ex-assist- ant secretary of the treasury, is an appli- eant for reappointment. So is Capt. Mere- dith of Illinois, formerly chief of the bu- reau of engraving and printing. One of the few democrats in the classi- fied service who has voluntarily relin- | quished his position is Mr. H. C. Evans of Towa, chief of division in the office of the auditor for the War Department. He re- signed today to become agent of the Equi- table Life Insurance Company for the state of Iowa, and his eee to take effect on the instant. Postmaster General's Office.

Pos?- master General Gary attended the cabinet meeting, which took up the best part of the day, and to the three or four people who called the poiite information was given that this was cabinet day and the Postmaster Gene would receive no call- ers. Hundreds of letters—tusheis, the clerks who handle them say—asking for places have been received, and to eve ppiica by direction, Private Secretary Baker Py sending a polite acknowledgment with the discouraging bit of information that every place in the department is under the civil service rules, and that if the applicant is determined to become a government em- ploye the only entree to service in that capacity is by the usual civil service route. Quict in the Inter Department. Secretary Bliss having gone to New York to be away until Friday, the echoes were unbroken and unimpeded in his corner of the Interior Department. Not a single pat- ter of the foot-weary office seeker was heard in the corridors all day. The usual- ly vigilant messengers at the door after reading the morning papers had time for a restful nap. It is possible that Secreta: determine who are to be his as: retaries while he is Cyrus Bussey, who was assistant secretary during the Harrison administration, is making a vigcrous effert to secure his for- mer place. He fully expected to be nom- inated yesterday. It is id, however, that Secretary Bliss has preferences which cut athwart Gen. Bussey’s chances and hopes. It is believed that Jndge Lionberger, the assistant attorney general for the Interior Department, will be continued for a time until Mr. Bliss has had time to select pre- cisely the man he wants as a legal ad- viser. Major Pitkin, minister to the Argentine Republic under Harrison, and Edward Young of New Orleans, who earnestly-ad- vocated a southern city for the holding of the last republican national convention, were among the callers at the Interior De- partment today. Bliss will stant sec- in New York. Gen. en Wills Filed. ‘The will of the late James Taylor was filed today. It is daied December 12, 1881 and appoints the testator’s son, John Tay- lor, as executor and administrator.

The will of the late Charlotte Q. Smoot, dated July 23, 1894, was also filed today. Edward L. Smoot, a son, is named as ex- ecutor and made sole beneficiary. A third will filed today was that of the late Matthew C. Baxter. Charles Reed is named as executor, and Hattie H. Graeme. a daughter, is made sole beneficiary. The wiil is dated February 25, 1897. _— Ordered to Pay. Judge Cox this morning ordered mar- shal to arrest Win. E. Hartman and con- fine him in jail until he obeys an order of the court requiring him to pay $200 to his wife, Mary E. Hartman, as alimony, and $50 as counsel fees. The order to pay the amounts was made by the court the 29th of lest January, Mrs. Hartman having ap- plied for divorce the 26th of last October, the papers in the case being withheld from publication. Hartman wis brought before Judge Cox this afternoon, when he stated to the judge that he is unable to raise the money. The judge gave three days in which to prove, if possible, his inability to obey the court’s order, relecsing him from custedy mezn- tine. po See The Rawlins Post Course. Last evening a select and cultured au- dienze grected Mr. Clum at Carroll Insti- tute upon the delivery of his second iec- ture in the Rawlins Post course.
