That settled it. Brady th: up his hands and azreed to accept the situation. Then he drove over the mountains into the city, turned his fourteen Pullman tickets b into cash and electrified the crowd tnat had gathered at the depot for the pur- pose of giving the champion a farewell cheer with the announcement that the de- parture was off and that it was a fight. At the hotel Brady said to members of the citizens’ committee: *‘Corbett pro-| s to remain, and that’s all there is to Now you gentlemen can go ahead with your own ans. We will produce our wan at any time and any place you may jesignate and on any notice you may session up to a clined to act m y say under who uspices the work of the ring would be commenced to-morrow, or state eventually what new plans were under consideration. Under the dirzaction of the Supreme Court prize-fighting is only a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine under a hearing of a Justice of the Peace. The men, therefore, are in no danger of imprisonment. Under the same decision tne fight would not be an emergency warranting the Governor in calling out the militia, even were there militia to call out or State funds to pro- vide for transportation and commissary. Hence there is only the last resort of a session of the Legislature. It at Jeast three days to organize Say, therefore, that a ses- sion were called for Tuesday, it would be Thursday, or the day after the fight, before the two houses had organized and were ready for business. It is held by the citizens’ committee that with a forty-eight hour notice to the country enough people can reach here within that limit of time to insure a mag- nificent uudience and make the match extremely profitable from a pecuniary voint of view. CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Dec. 25.— Fitzsimmons continues his training here, but during the past few days be has not been laboring as hard as he did two weeks ago.

REPUBLICANS RALLY. STATE CANDIDATES ATTEND A MASS-MEETING IN NEW YORK. PROMINENT MEN THERE. GOVERNOR HASTINGS OF PENNSYL- VANIA AND OTHERS SCORE THE DEMOCRATS. AS TO THE MONROE DOCTRINE. ApoPTION OF RESOLUTIONS EX- PRESSING SYMPATHY FOR STRUG- GLING CUBANS. NEW YOBK, Oct. 25.—All the candi- dates on the Republican State ticket were present and spoke at a mass-meeting to- night, under the auspices of the Repub- lican State Club, at Cooper Union. Among other prominent men present were Gov- ernor Hastings of Pennsylvania, J. Sloat Fassett and Cornelius N. Bliss. In point of numbers and enthusiasm the meeting ‘was one of the best of the campaign. The meeting was called to order by Cornelius N. Bliss, chairman ‘of the com- mittee on arrangements, who, after a few preliminary remarks, introduced Hon. Edward Mitchell, vice-president of the club, as presiding oflficer. The meeting had been called, the latter said, on taking the chair, to talk over the political cam- paign. The State Senators to be elected, he con- tinued, would vote for a Senator from this State to the Senate for six years. Believ- ing that the interests of the country would be best served by a Republican National Senate, it was the duty of every Republi- can to cast his vote in such manner as to send a Republican Senator from this State. The election of the Democratic candidates, he said, would bring joy to the hearts of the corrupt element both in politics and society. Judge Gedney, secretary of the club, was introduced and read the list of vice-presi- dents of the meeting, after which resolu- tions indorsing the State and county ticket were adopted. Governor Danicl Hastings of Pennsylvania was then introduced and was received with great applause. The Governor said in part: 5 “We have no campaign in Pennsylva- nia—we don’t neea any; there is no enemy in sight in Pennsylvania. You have a campaign here, and I believe you are go- ing to win. You have some local issues here, with those I have nothing to do. Local issues come and pass away. The Republican party came to stay when the war was at hand, when the question of the two flags was raised. The Republican party saved the country and preserved the Union, and will always be on the side of right and never pass away. The party of Abraham Lincoln will never die. The people of this coufitry cannot be fooled; some of them were led away to give Grover Cleveland a majority, but they are coming back.” Governor Hastings then turned his at- tention to the present administration and said: “The present administration seems to be greatly embarrassed to keep up the surplus in the treasury. We never had any trouble in keeping up the surplus. The only trouble the Republican adminis- tration had was that there was sometimes too large a surplus.” He said that the bond deal of the present administration as operated in Wall street by Secretary Carlisle was a money-making enterprise to the syndicate that handled the bonds and to every one connected with the deal except the Government. *“The Republican party,” continued the Gov- ernor, “never framed a revenue law that did not pay the expenses of the country. The Republican party says to foreigners: “If you want to do business in this country you must pay the expenses of running our Government.” He then spoke in favor of the Monroe doctrine, which, he said, was as much a part of our Government and as necessary to it asthe constitution or the declaration of inde- pendence. Governor Hastings then re- viewed the history and theory of the Monroe doctrine and read sections of it. He said that the Monroe doctrine was but another name for Americanism. “Why do we spend =0 much money for a great navy ?” said Governor Hastings, “if not to maintain our rights. President Cleveland and his administration seem to think that the flag of our country is merely to float in peace over the seas and that our navy and flag are not to give protection to our citizens or to maintain the Monroe doctrine and American rights.”” The other speakers included J. Sloat Fas- sett, John Palmer, candidate for Secretary of State, and Hon. Nathaniel Norton of Buffalo. The following resolutions were adopted: WHEREAS, The Attorney-General of the United States has declared it to be con- trary to the spirit of international law for citizens of this country to give public expres- sion to their sympathy with the people of Cuba, who are now struggling to free them- selves from the cruel, oppressive yoke of mon- archical Spain, therefore be it Resolved, That this assemblage of Repub- licans repudiate such an opinion as being con- trary to the genius of American institutions and the best traditions of our great Republic, and in violent opposition to that higher law of liberty and humanity before which all na- tional and international codes must give way. Resolved, That as members of the party of progress and emancipation and as American citizens we express our ardent wishes for the success of the Cuban patriots, and urge the recognition of the belligerenoy by the Govern. ment. e TELLER FAVORS ALLISON. The Colorado Senator Speaks Pointedly on the Silver Isswue. DENVER, Coro., Oct. 25.—According to a special from Washington to a local paper Senator 'Teller speaks out very plainly about Presidential candidates and the campaign. “Every one,” he said, “knows my senti- ments respecting Mr, Sherman as a public man. I differ from him entirely on ques- tions of financial policy, and could not consider him a prudent or a safe man for President, and I regard Mr. McKinley in very much the same light. Senator Alli- son I personally regard very highly, and T think that if it should come to a choice among the men mentioned he would be more acceptable to the people of the West than most of them. Yet T hope the convention will not be confined to these men. Colorado wants a candi- date who is unequivocally and openly for silver, and no candidate of other views will be accepted by them. The Colorado electoral vote will be given to no man who is not square on the silver question. The State will throw its vote away before it will cast it for a gold rmonometallist. It looks as though the Eastern States would dictate the nomination in the next Republican convention. If they do they will name a gold man. In that event I shall not follow the party in its folly. I would resign my seat in the Senate before I would give my allegiance to an avowed gold-standard candidate and retire finally {from politics.” RAISED A RIVAL’S PICTURE. An Exciting Scene at a Kentucky Politi- cal Meeting. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 25.—A Lex- ington (Ky.) says: The railroad elec- tioneering tour of Colonel William O. Bradley, the Revublican candidate for Governor, came near terminating in a shooting match at Jackson this afternoon. The colonel arrived there at 11 o'clock, and after speaking for more than an hour in the courthouse, which was.full of men, women and children, he introduced ex- Senator Augustus E. Wilson of Louisville. Just *as Mr. Wilson began speaking Bruce Little, a prominent young Demo- crat, held aloft a pole in the rear of the room on which was a large lithograph of General Hardin, the Democratic candi- date for Governor. Wilson saw it and he denounced the man who raised it as being devoid of gentlemanly instincts and good manners. At this juncture Mason Cope, ex-Representative from Breathitt County, cried out, “If you don’t take that picture down I will shoot it down,” at the same time reaching for his **44.” ‘James Mar- cum and K. J. Hampton, leading Republi- cans, grabbed Cope and prevented him from drawing his weapon. William Coombs made his way through the crowd to young Little and persuaded him to leave the courtroom with Hardin's picture. WARNED JUST N TIME DUPE OF A LAND SWINDLER GOT A LETTER WHICH STOPPED A TRANSACTION, IT CAUSED THE ARREST OF THE SWINDLER, JOHN LocHRAN, Ex- MAYOR OF HOT SPRINGS. ST. LOUIS, Yo., Oct. 25.—John Lochran, ex-Mayor of Hot Springs, wasarrested here this evening charged with attempting a land swinddle. M. B. Johnson of Los An- geles, Cal., owns 200 acres of land near Winamac, Pulaski County, Ind. Lochran has been here some time as an agent of an Eastern manufacturer, and, it is charged, assumed the name of M. D. Johnson in a letter he wrote to a Winamac real estate man offering to sell the land. The purchaser was found and a deed was sent from here to Winamac, to be delivered to the purchaser upon the payment of $2600 at an express office. Some delay occurred with the negotia- tions, during which time the genuine M. D. Johnson heard of the matter and wrote to the Winamac purchaser. The latter, while on his way to the express office yes- terday to pay the money, stopped at the postoffice and received Johnson’s letter. To-night’s arrest followed. Shdgam THE SHERIFF DEFIED. Georgia Militia May Be Called Out to Arrest the Zeiglers. SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 25.—Sheriff Mills of Screven County, successor to Sheriff Brooker, who was assassinated by the Zeigler brothers a few days ago, has gone to Atlanta to confer with Governor Atkin- son about calling out the Screven cavalry to arrest the Zeiglers. The Zeiglers and their friends defy the Sheriff. He was al- lowed to visit them at their home alone. The Zeiglers told him they could not be ! taken prisoners by any posse. They are Populist leaders and a big bell has been erected in front of the house. The sound- ing of this bell, they told Sheriff Mills, would bring a score of armed men to their siae. . The Zeiglers further informed him that most of the military companies of the county would refuse to take up arms to fight their fellow-Populistand friends. Major Brewer of the First Battalion of Georgia Cavalry, to which the Screven troop is attached, came to Savannah to consult with Colonel on as to the duties devolving upon him if the Governor calls out the militia to arrest the Zeiglers.

WENT INTO AMBUSH. SPANISH CAVALRY SLAIN BY INSURGENTS OF CuBa. MADE A BRAVE FIGHT. UNAWARE OF THE ENEMY THEY MARCHED INTO THE PERIL- 0US POSITION. EIGHT HUNDRED WERE KILLED. TH1s Was THE MosT IMPORTANT BATTLE SINCE THE REVOLU- TION BEGAN. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 25.—The Times to-morrow will print the following dis- patch from Key West: News received here to-day states that General Maceo has by forced marches reached the province of Matanzas, and that last Monday, with 3000 Cubans, he engaged a cavalry force of 2800 Spaniards in the 8an Juan Valley. Early in the morning the insurgent out- posts brought news of the approach of Spanish cavalry. General Maceo at once placed his army in position to receive the enemy. A hollow square was formed and a force of 1000 men placed in ambush, The Spanish forces, unaware of the presence of the enemy, marched into the trap of death and were only apprised of their perilous position when the insurgents opened fire on them. The Spaniards made a brave fight, but owing to the thickness of the forest and the boggy condition of the valley the cav- alry was greatly handicapped. After a struggle of four hours the Spanish troops were forced to retreat, leaving 800 men dead on the field. The insurgents secured all the arms and ammunition of the dead Spaniards. This battle is the most important fight since the breaking out of the revolution. The Cuban colony here is wild with joy. . Private advices confirm the report of the landing of an expedition in Cuba under the leadership of Colonel Carillo. The ex- pedition was landed at Boco del Toro October 21 and consisted of forty-eight men, seventeen pieces of artillery and two gatling guns. This isa part of the expe- dition which was recently arrested in Wil- mington. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.—Senor Dupuy de Lome received the following ca- blegram from Sancti Spiritas: ‘‘Marshal Martinez Campos has arrived, after a magnificent march at the head of a small column from Ciego de Avila through the center and stronghold of the insurgent | district to Sancti Spiritus. Being unable to cross the river Zaza, which was over- flowed, he was obliged to camp for two days, sleeping on the ground like a com- mon soldier. The rebels fired at the column in the mountains, but took flight at the first shot of the troops. ““The fact of the commander-in-chief be- ing able to go with a small column through this district has given great hopes of the outcome of military operations.. Every- thing is ready for the advance as soon as the weather is completely settled.” Sancti Spiritus is about 180 miles from Havana. Senor Dupuy de Lome attaches | great importance to this news, as indicat- ing inactivity on the part of the rebels, totaily at variance with the reports ema- | nnting from American sources. DENVER, Coro, Oct. 25.—Mayor Mec- Murray and President Crocker of the Chamber of Commerce have joined in the movement to take public action in aid of the Cuban revolutionists by 1ssuing a call for a masa-meeting to be held October 31. “They deserve our suppert and aid,” says the Mayor, “and we must help them throw off the Spanish yoke.” OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Tom Reed Will Have a Walkover for the Speakership. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.—General Bingham, member of Congress from Pail- adelphia and one of Thomas B. Reed’s right hand men, said to Tre CArLL corre- spondent to-day that Mr. Reed would be- yond doubt have a walkover for the speak- ership, and that ex-Congressman Alex- ander McDowell of Pennsylvania would be elected clerk. General Henderson of Illinois, a member of the last Congress, will be the principal opponent of Mr. Mc- Dowell for that office, but it is thought that the former may be willing to compromise by taking the office of sergeant-at-arms. Two Arizonans arrived to-day. Maurice Goldwater, a leading banker and politi- cian, is at the Arlington Hotel. Richard- son Ford of Tucson is at the Riggs House. The latter is a warm friend of Governor Hughes, against whom charges have been filed by spme of the Arizona ‘kickers.” Mr. Ford says he is here to argue a land case before the United States Supreme Court involving the town of Nogales, Ariz. Goldwater is a candidate for Governor of Arizona, in case Hughes is removed. The charges were filed against Hughes in the Interior Department last June, but Secre- tary Smith has thus far taken no_action. Before leaving for Atlanta on Monday Secretary Smith said to THE CAvLL corre- spondent that there was mothing new in the matter, but at this time the two Ari- zonans had not arrived. Private advices from Prescott say the fight against Hughes will be renewed., Arizona will mnlgie strong efforts this winter to be ad- mitted to the Union of States, and this wrangle among the Democrats is not cal- culated to help their cause. By direction of the Secretary of War Captain Ogden Rafferty, assistant sur- geon, will be relieved irom duty on receipt of this order and will proceed to Fort Bliss, Tex., and report in person to the commanding cfficer of that post for duty, to relieve Major Clarence Ewen, surgeon. Captain Rnfiertj’ will'also report by letter to the commanding general of the Depart- ment of Texas. By direction of the Presi- dent Major Ewen, surgeon, upon being re- lieved from duty at Fort Bliss, Tex., will proceed to San Francisco and reportin person to Brigadier-General Forsyth, presi- dent of the Army Retiring Board at that place, and will appear before the board at such time as he may designate for exam- ination.

I, Oct. 25.—Both Colonel Colt and Mrs. Colt refuse to dis- cuss their divorce suit. Mrs. Colt's at- torneys, Comstock and Gardner, are not quite so reticent.

MAY LOSE THEIR POSITIONS A SPECIAL AGENT FROM WASHINGs TON TO INVESTIGATE THE DERELICTION. PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., Oct. 25.— Official circles in Alaska are considerably agitated over the expose recently made by a Juneau paper to the effect that the whisky ring of Puget Sound had been successfully outwitting the authorities, while large shipments of con- traband liquor have been surreptitiously introduced into the territory in direct vio- lation of the laws and disposed of to good advantage. 1If the expose is true, and a chapter from this end of the line goes fartoward con- firming it, the plan of campaign was a clever one and, as usual, there was a woman in the case, who blinded the eyes of the officials while the importing was going on under their very noses. The story from here is that the fair charmer, who under guise of an unconsol- able widow went north for an indefinite stay to hide her grief, was a woman named Benot, beauntiful, vivacious and accom- plished, and it was not iong before she ruled over the Government set at the northern capital. In course of time her spirits returned, | and wine suppers and other social func- tions in which she figured as the belle were of almost nightly occurrence. This continued for some months, when suddenly one day the widow boarded a steamer bound back for civilization, leav- ing many broken hearts in the north. Then the officers learned that while they were attending wine suppers smugglers were arriving and departing, leaving be- | hind_ their cargoes_ of liquor. Not |a single officer will admit know- ing the woman now, but they are leaving no stone unturned to discover the cache where the smuggied liguor is hidden. It issaid that word of the affair has reached Washington and thata special agent will be sent out to select for decapi- tation those officers who neglected their duty. LULU "ISLAKD GOLD FIND.
