JIM AMD FITZ MAKE TERMS Mooting of the Gladiators Entirely Devoid of Promised Bloodshed. WILL FIGHT AT JACKSONVILLE NEXT FALL Florl Forty-One Thousand Dollars and the Articles Will Be Signed in & Short Time. NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—There now seems fo be very little doubt that, barring accl- dents to elther man, Heavyweight Champion Jim Corbett will defend his title against Middlewelght Champion Bob Fitzsimmons. Today the men met in the office of & news- paper in this city, and after an halt-hour’s parleying they and their managers came to terms. Jacksonville, Fla., will again be the scene of a fistic encounter, as the representatives of the Florida Athletic club, Manager Charles E. Smith and Joe Vendig, succeeded in making arrangements which proved satis- factory to both pugilists, and the club can name any day after July 1, 1895, to bring the match off. Fitzsimmons and Captain Glorl, his mana- , with a company of enthuslastic parti- mans from Philadelphia and Newark, were the first to reach the rendezvous. Soon W. A. Brady, Corbett’s manager, appeared, but Corbett was slow in putting in his appear- ance. When hoe did arrive he walked im- mediately over to the table at which “Fitz" was seated and, after removing his over- coat, said: “Well, Fitz, I am here to make a match.” “That Is what I am here for,” replied Fitzsimmons, deflantly. Then turning to his manager, Captain Glori, he introduced to Corbett, and said: ““My manager will be my spokesman on this occasion.’’ Captain Glori then sat down at the table _ faeing Corbett, and_Fitzsimmons stood be- tween them. The first word Corbett said was, “Where is your money?” Glori_rephed: “Here is $1,000 to bind o match.” Corbett immediately pulled out a roll of ten $1,000 bills and placing them on the table said: “You people have been talking about $10,000 a side. There is my money; cover it “But, Mr, Corbett, you don’t expect us to put up $10,000 right away” said Captain Glort. “You are rich, but wo are not.” Corbett smiled sarcasticaily and said: “Where Is that $60,000 you have been talking %0 much about? There is no use playing that poverty game, It is too sta 'Ward followed word, and a small cyclone | it passed away “Well, here. and you can was evidently brewing, but again as Corbett finally sald TH put up my $10,000 no put yours up when you lik STAGE ENGAGEMENTS FIRST. Corbett added: “I will fight Fitzsimmons any time after July 1 of next year and not before. | am making money on the road and will not cancel any of my engagements on any accoun “We think,” sald Captain Glorl, “that you ghould fight within six months and defend the championship twice a year." “You do, do you?" said Corbett, with evi- Qent surprise, and then shaking his head slowly, he said: *You are very much mis- taken, and what is more I hold the cham- plonship and have a right to dictate my terms. It is only a waste of words and time to talk of a fight before July, and as for the side bet, It doesn’t cut any figure, as far as I am concerned Fitzsimmons and his manager finally con- sented to have the flight come off after the st of July, and the men with their managers rotired to a side room for a few moments private consultation. When they came out agaln they came over to the table and the artioles of agreement were discussed. Both men announced their willingness to sign, but as that would be against the laws of ate the articles will not be signed The articles will be similar to those signed by Corbett and Sullivan in 1892. As s00m as this amrangement was made the ques- tion of & purse was considered. There were three men in the room ready to make offers: Captain Williams of the Auditorium, New Orleans; President Scholl of the Olympic in the same city, and Joe Vendig of the Florida Athletic club. BIDS FOR THE FIGHT. ‘'Now, gentlemen,” said Corbett, ‘“we have agreed to fight and we want to know who will offer the largest purse.’” Sohol The Olymplc will $25,000. Captain_ Willlams claimed that he hal already offered §26,000 on behalf of the Audi- tortum olub. Joe Vendig raised the ante, and sald, as he threw five $1,000 bills on the table: ““The Florida Athletic club will give $30,000, and here are $5,000 as a guaranty. Scholl raised the bid to $40.000, and Vendig went $1,000 better. Scholl offered $50,000, but as he was not prepared to make a de- posit Corbett said he would sign for Jack- sonville, Pitzsimmons made objections for a while, but finally consented. ~ The club will allow $1,000 to each man for traveling expenses, and each will train for three months prior to the fight. Belore the negotiations had been com- pleted Corbett turned to Fitzsimmons and mald: “Fitzsimmons you said that when you met me you would shake your fingers in Bive . my faee. * “No, I did nbt,” said Fitzsimmons dog- . mons easily. ~on the gedly. “I never said such a thing about you, and I don't think you would say it about ms “Oh; no, you are too much of a gentle- said Corbett, sneeringly, “but if I such a remark I would make it The notes of both pugilists were not six inches apart during this Interthange of questionable compliments, and it looked as if A storm was about to break, but nothing came of It.

Yale and Princeton Find Dittcuities in Ar- ranging Their Football Match. NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—The date of the Yale-Princeton fooiball match is still as un- settled as ever, Representatives of the col- leges met at the Murray Hill hotel last night to decide upon the date, grounds, referee and linesman. After a session last- Ing nearly three hours they succeeded in settling but one question—that of linesman, and ex-Captain Ordway of Lehigh was chosen to act in that capacity. Regarding the date the managers are no nearer a decision than after their meeting a week ago. The Yale representatives refused to meet the tigers on Thanksgiving day, giving as a reason that they can not endanger their chances of victory by playing so soon after the Harvard game. Wednesday, Decembor was suggested, but as Princeton’s faculty refuses to allow the game to be held on a Wednesday, that date was given up and Saturday, December 1, proposed. The Yale men would give no definite answer to this proposition. It is understood that the man- agers of Ambros e park, . Brooklyn, haie made a favorable offer, but the selection of grounds will not be determined until other fleld owners have been heard from. Captain Hickey, President Cable and ex-Manager Holter represented Yale, and Captain Trenchard and President Munn appeared for the tigers. Calitornians Making New Records.

All this has been changed now since Balduff began serving lunch at his famous place at 1520 Farnam street. His renown as a caterer at once attracted a large custom, until now the greater part of his establishment is devoted to the lunch tables from 11:30 to 2:30. Busi- ness men have not only found the prices moderate, the dishes dainty, but the quiet and prompt service more convenient than the long ride home. Many of them are joined by their wives at the caterer's and lunch to- gether several times a week. Lo inm REFRESHED HIS MEMORY.

He testified to having received the order to turn in the condemned shrapnel and of the same having been sent to Captain Grimes, He told in detall of the Evanston explosion and of finding the bad ammunition in ihe battery afterwards. Iicutenant Horn, Who was In immediate command of the ba tery during the Evanston expiosion, tes fied about the affair and acknowledged ha ing_received the order to turn in the bad ammunition. He said there were only ten of the shells in the caisson at the time of the explosion, and that nine of them re- mained intact and were not injured. He understood the order about the shrapnel to mean that some of them were to be turned in at once and some of them were to be retained. Captain. Grimes was sick at the time of the explosion, but the order from General Miles had reached him. Lieutenant Hines testified for the defense and told how strict Captain Grimes was about carrying out orders. Others testified that. Captain Grimes was a good officer and very punctual about obeying orders. Captain Grimes is ex- pected to take the stand tomorrow morning. b e} MURDERED FUR TREIR MONEY.

GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Oct. 1.—A terrible murder, the motive of which was robbery, occurred near here last night. = Dennis Scanlon and Joseph Kennedy, railroad labor- ers, who lived in a cabin north of town, drew their month's wages last night and started home, Kennedy going ahead.

OPERATIONS; OF THE ARMY General Schofl%d G.vu in Detail the Work of thls[ ast Year, ADVOCATES QN‘]NCR[ASE IN NUNBER3 i Bases His Bollet of the Neea of on the Occurtohees During the Strike— Country 18'Teb' Large for the Pres- ent Foreh’t6 'Aftord Crotection, More Men WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Major General Schofield has made to the secretary of war his report on the operations of the &.rmy dur- ing the past year. General Schofield, who has been at the head of the army sincs the retirement of General Sheridan, announces his retirement next year, The report is prin- cipally devoted to a discussion of the neces- sity for strengthening the military arm of the government to cope with Interna- tional disorder as well as possible danger from without, particular reference being made to the Debs strike. “During a large part of the year,” the re- port says, “the army has been employed in the suppression of domestic violence which took the form in many cases of forcible re- sistance to the execution of the laws of the United States, selzure or destruction of prop- erty under the care of United States officers, and open deflance of national authority. These disorders, at first local in their character, spread at length to about one-half in number and two-thirds in area of all the states and territories, excluding Alaska. So widespread and formidable an insurrection called for the vigorous action dictated by the president “At the city of Chicago resistance to law assumed such formidable proportions that it was necessary to concentrate at the place noarly all the army forces that could be made available from all parts of the country, while on the Pacific coast the navy depart- ment placed at the disposal of the department commander, the naval and marine forces at the Mare Island navy yard and those forces rendered valuable services. Tho responsible duties thus devolving upon the army department commanders were per- formed by them and the troops under their command In the most satisfactory manner. The insurrection was promptly suppressed without any unnecessary sacrifice of life in any case, ACTION OF THE TROOPS COMMENDED “The prompt and vigorous action of the troops in all cases, and the great forbearance manifested by them when subjected to all sorts of insults and indignities, designed to provoke retaliation, were worthy of the very highest commendation. It illustrated in a most_striking manner the great value to a government of a well diseiplined force at all times subject to the orders of that govern- ment for the enforcement of the faithful exe- outlon of its laws. “It would seem unnecessary to point out the fact that any foree like the militia of a state, or the police of a city, acting primarily under another authority, though highly efficient in thelr appropriate ervice, cannot be made a reliable instrumant for the prompt and effect- ive execution of the laws of the United States. Manifegtly every government should have an adequate force of its own for the execution of its own laws; no less than the Judicial executiye officers necessary for the same purpose. . “The country is now for the first time squarely confronfed’ with the necessity of making adequate provisions, not . enly for defense agalnst any possible forsign. ag- gression, but also for defense ggainst. do- mestio violence, in the form of forcible re- sistance to the Taws of the United States, A just estimate of fhose means of defense require considefationn of the vast extent of the United Statgs and the great amount of property widély dispersed throughout this territory, either ' belonging (o the United States or in such ‘cdndition as to be under the protection ‘of ‘the national government. When these (4cts dre duly consldersd it bécomes manifest that the presént strength of the atmy 4 mot adequate to 'the per- formance of the ‘service which may at any time be required. It fs certain]y manifest that the present condition of the cbuntry, with a population of nearly 70,000,000 under the danger of disorder now known to exist, cannot be met by the sgme forge that was deemed adequate twenty-five years ago, when the population of the country awas less than half its present amount and Jomedtic vio- lence was not apprehended. Qne -man to fourteen square miles of territory, or one man to 2,800 of population, ia surely & very small guard to protect property and prevent violation of law, leaving out of tonsideration the force necessary to guard the extended sea coast against sudden attack by a foreign enemy. It is also worthy of remark that more than once in tho last summer an in- furfated mob in a single city was twice as formidable in number and capable of doing vastly greater Injury to life and property than the most formidablo combination of In- dian , warriors that ever confronted the army in this country. In a few words, the army has been recéntly required to deal with an army far more numerous and dan- gerous to the country than any savage enémy which it has heretotore been called upon to meet. ARMY SHOULD BE INCREASED. “The effective strength of the atiy should be considerably Increased. This can be done at a very small comparative increase in cost. The present regimental organizations need not be largely increased. Two addi- tional regiments of. artillery for the neces- sary sea coast defense; two additional regi- ments to patrol the long lines of railroad under government protectioh and the pres- ent twenty-five regiments of infantry, con- verted into three battalion organizations, would, it is belleved, be a just, conservative estimate of what is now actually needed. For this the existing number of commis- sioned officers is nearly sufficlent, But a considerable permanent Increase in the en- listed strength of the army should be made, and a still further increasé authorized to be made by the president, when (n his judg- ment an_emergency requiring it may rea- sonably be forseen. It Is not a good mili- tary system in which the executive has no authority whateyer to Increase the effective strength of the army o time of need, but must await the slow process of legislaiion for that purpose. Wise forethought, in ap- parent anticipation- of such conditions as those which have confronted the governm:-at during the last year, dictated several years ago the establishment under authority of congress, of large military posts near the great business and railway centers of the country. Several of these large posts are now in condition td be .occupied by troops, while others arélda (process of construction and a few othéfs'are still demanded, for which It Is presfifis@ congress will in due time make the u#ceédsary appropriations. ““In respect to tHe nfilitary necessities which may possibly ari¥é ot of the conflict with a foreign power, 1t'Nd& for many years scemed impossible to imistessi upon the pegple of the United States ifi*'geheral the view enter- talned by all thoughtful military students.

LESSONS OF JAPANESE-CHINESE WAR. “The most pogfifdli§ and one of the most wealthy of all tha piitions of the earth fs subjected to extrente humiliation and dis- grace, which maf'testit possibly in the over- throw of a dyn: , db the hands of a little nation of one-téAth “$f its population and about one-tenth 10§ “territorial area. And why is this? It is' not because that great peoplo are lacking in: talent or general educa- tion or courage, but because they have failed to develop their military strength and re- sources. In discipliried troops, in arms and equipments of all kinds, In efficient ships of war and in general military preparation and education they are far behind the enter- prising little milftary. nation that Is now teaching them and the world this tremendous lesson. ’ “The relation of the United States to the great military powers of Europe now ex- hibits & far greater disparity in respect to preparations for war than that which has existed between China and Japan. Will th people of the United States and their repre- sentatives have the modesty to appreciate and the wisdom to profit by this lesson? Now that medern sclence has so rad'- cally changed the conditions of military and naval success, how {mposaible has security for peace consistent with honor become, | on the locks of the excopt through thorough preparation for war, ““The time has fully come when the peo- ple of the United States should dismiss the over-confdence born of past experience, and look the future squarely in the face. The most liberal appropriations for this purpose will be the wisest economy. In this, the last annual report which I expect to be called upon (o write, 1 deem it my duty to make » lost an® more emphatic presenta- tion to my fellow citizens and to their government of what I consider essential to place thelr military establishment in all | respects on a footing commensurate with the Interests, dignity and honor of a great nation." . General Schofield recommends the inorease of the supply of modern arms for regular troops and organized militla, and appropria- | tions for heavy armament for sea coast de- | fense, and provision for additional cavalry for service In the territories traversed by tho raflroads. DEMANDS FOR MILITARY INSTRUCTORS. Concerning military education, he says: | “The constantly increasing interest in mill- tary education Is manifested by an increased | demand upon the army for officers for duty | at colleges, universities and other institu- | tions of learning throughout the country. | Another gratifying feature Is the awakened Interest in the policy recommended many | years ago by which military education shall | be extended to the public schools so that a very large number of young men will be well qualified for the positions of noncom- miesioned officers, and hence for the mould- | ing of a volunteer force into a reliable army In the shortest possible time. It is beli o that no better employment can be given to the officers of the regular army in time of peace than in this wide dissemination of elementary military education, and if any justification be thought necessary for such an increase in the aggregate number of commissioned officers, it §s fully supplied lhy this demand for such Important serv- ices."” He commends the work of the regular military establishments, and approves the recent changes of law regarding terms of enlistment in the army. HARD TIMES IN FRANCE. Unusually Large Percentage of Laboring Men Out of Employment. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—That the Ameri- can workingman has not been the only suf- ferer from hard times is made apparent by a report to the State department from Stephen H. Angell, United States commer- clal agent at Boubaid, France. He said that the figures of the central labor bureau at Paris show that the labor situation through- out France on August 15 last appeared to be that a large number of workmen and laborers were without employment, only a small portion of those who had for some time been in forced idleness having resumed their occupations. From 645 labor unions, with a membership of 129 reporting 1o the central office, it appears that 14.4 per cent of the laborers were without work Of these unions fifty-three report the situation as worse than last year. In the agricultural districts 67 per cent of the laborers were without employment and in the wine dis- tricts of Cher and_Herault this percentage was increased to 756 and 80 per cent, res- pectively, the crisis resulting from the low price of win | YT | NEW TORPEDO BOATS CONSTRUCTED. | ness and Efciency Com- | bined. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—For the time the naval constructors have undertaken | to build small Marvels of I first | torpedo boats, to be carried | Maine and the Texas. Two of these boats are building at the New York navy yard and two at the Norfolk yard and they are now nearly complete. These | little craft are marvels of lightness and | eficiency. The problem presented to the con- structors was to secure this extreme light- fbss combined with the stiffness and strength nécessary to withstand the severe strains of the powerful weight of the torpedo tubes. The skin of the boats is but 3-32 of an inch thick, weighing 3% pounds per square foot. The Maine’s boats are a Jittle more than two tons displacement larger than the Texas boats and their length is sixty-one feet six inches and fifty feet respectively. With ene ton of coal abogrd, water in the boilers, the Maine's boat with a displacement of nearly fitteen tons, weighs but 13,785 pounds. To the Interest of lightness, even the shafts are but thin tubes, and the eranks revolve below the floor plates.
