THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 MR. CORBETT’S LETTER. (INTERCEPTED.) } CARSON, NEv., Feb. 23, 1897. To the journal-Examiner (Soft Thing): s 1 write you in joyfulness of heart to-day, for I am sure I will win the fight—that is, get the money. It has just been pointed out to me that you have been favoring me all along—between the lines, as it were—and 1 am very grateful. You favored Sharkey in the last fight, you know, and Mr. Earp did the rest. ~1observe that you adopted my suggestion to send a lady reporter to write me up. You are going to send two, you say. How delighted they wili be ! "1 now take back all 1 said about the rawness of your work. 1| think you’ve the brainiest staff on earth. [am writing to His Softness (which is Willie) to-night, and you needn’t be surprised if some of you are promoted or have your salaries doubled. Yes, a reception by the staff on my return to the City would be very appropriate. 1 think it would give tone to the paper. 1 ate half a can of oysters to-day. (Copyrighted.) Something painful has just happened. An old fogy has been hang- ing around here for some time amusing himself by making unfeeling remarks about the Examiner and the fight. 1 think he is in the pay of the church cranks. Well, he got a crowd around him in the hotel and began to talk of the old pugilists. They were the men who fought for the glory of the thing, he said. They didn’t sell themselves out to the highest bidder. They didn’t make the stage contemptible. .They didn’t spend their time with parasites and pluguglies, and when a man | placed his money on them he got an honest return. All this the old crank growls out. Then he says: ‘“What the prize-fighters of to-day have done to the ring Hearst and his class are | doing to the press, Think of Horace Greeley and Charles Dickens and Garfield and James G. Blaine, who were newspaper men, writing for a paper whose columns are polluted with the twaddle of pugilists and the ranting of murderers. Think of it,”” he says, getting redder and redder in the face. Then I'm blest if he didn’t get the tongs from the fire, and, taking the Examiner by the corner, as if he were taking a dead cat by the tail, he heaved it into the gutter. It made my blood boil. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to copyright the old man and then kill him? I ate an orange to-night. (Exclusive.) 1 see that you’re not putting borders around my letters any more. I am told that cur type-setting machines won’t make them and we have to hire a man to do the work. Compositors are a costly crew, and if we had fewer of them on the staff there’d be more money for me and the other star writers. You needn’t make any more borders. I wet my feet this morning, but they’re dry now. (Copyrighted.) i J. (Copyrighted) CORBETT. P. S.—Don’t limit the space of the lady writers, but give them a hunch not to refer to themselves so often. The ‘I’ in their letters makes me think of peacocks’ tails.

The State of Nevada has disgraced itself by permittine two brutes to maul each other in open day for the delectation of the pluguglies of half a continent. We of California, it must be confessed, have little reason to boast of our superior virtue. Oniy a few months ago San Francisco permitted a similar encounter and judges, law- yers, business men, doctors, sat down to witness a spectacle which degraded them be- low the level of the brutes who performed before them. Emboldened by such distinguished patronage the prize-fighters have captured the State of Nevada and bave chosen the 17th day of March as the date on which they will fight like beasts for superiority, or what is more likely, will pretend to fight fora fraudu- lent decision and the plunder of the idiotic barbarians who bet upon them. Itis difficult to speak with moderation on this matter. Many of those promi- nent in the scandal bear Irish names. They are exploiting their nationality in this town for the purpose of raising money. The other side is duing the same. Devoid of honor, devoid of decency, they would make profit out of the holiest feelings of hu- manity. To put the seal on their infamy they have chosen to desecrate a festival sa- cred to the highest interests of the Irish race. St. Patrick’s day is to every man with Ceitic blood in him the symbol of faith. It tells of the glorious ideals and noble lives of those who gavesthemselves for the uplifting of his people and the evangelization of the world. It 1sa day to be proud of, for it tells not of conquests by fire or sword, but of the triumphs of the soul and of victories of the word of God. And now it ie 10 be degraded by the heroes of the shambles, It is to be made a8 holiday for men whose names stink in the nostrils of civilization. It is to be celebrated by a congregation before whiom convicts are gentlemen and Dahomeyan savages lights of culture. It this thing had been done by the enemies of our race and creed verily we might have borne it; but it is done by those whose very names are a scandal and a crying shame—names which are the great, the sole argument against us tna:any race shon!d be respongibie for such as they. It is the bounden autv of every man of Irish blood to move heaven and earth thet this stain be not laid to our charge. If there be individuals of the Celtic name or societies of Irish people in the State of Nevada they will be disgraced forever if they do not by word and deed strive their utmost to end this scandal. It Ray be impossible, but they can rid themselves of the responsibility by trying. Surely t: ere must be some law and there can be found some courts that will interlere in behalf of public morals. This insult should not, must not be borne, and to the men of Ne- vada we look for relief. The whole performance is a sordid piece of money-getting. The men whoin this City help to make that money-getting a success are also responsible. We cannot reach the toughs and that crowd of professional pugs to whom tnis is a golden harvest. But itis possible to reach them indirectly. Even they are susceptibie to | public opinion, and the opinion of all Irishmen and of ali Irish societies on this comst ought to be expressed decisively, emphatically and at once. Let them at least wash their hands of this outrage perpetrated by misbegotten hounds whose lives are libels on the names they bear.—The Monitor. effect of causing him to delay Pllchms‘ punching-bag, then plays handbali with into the heaviest of his work. | Brother Joa until the latter is winded and “‘Iam notafraid oflosing too much time.” | then slogs Billy Woods until Woods cries said Fitzsimmons this aiternoon. “You | quits. see I am already in splendid fettle and do | ~ The bouts with Woods this afternoon not require such along spell of training | were unusually fast and furious.

Bat [ would not advise anybody to take too | much stock in such a proposition. Fitz- | simmons is too sly a fox to come out sin- | cerely and confess that he fears Corbett in | any tactics or ring rules. Suppose he and ‘his friends wanted to curb the daily growing tendency to send Fitzsimmons | stock up in the betting, could a better | scheme be adopted for bearing the market | than by creating an impression that the Cornishman is growing chicken-hearted? The knowing ones who are going to risk their money on Bob in this fight want to get in on as short an end as possible, 80 as to improve their chances for big win- nings. They do not hail with delignt the news from New York that there is a pre- ponderance there of Fitzsimons money, to even money or better. It would not be surprising if Julian engineered the scheme to down brakes. They don’t make them | any sharper or smarter than this band- some and smiling young brother-in-law and manager. He is familiar with all the curves in the sporting world and never yet bought a gold brick. But Firzsimmons' recalcitrance is notall that is causing worry among the men who are vitally interested in seeing the great fight brought off without a jar. Dan Stuart has not emerged from his room now for ten day: d I have it on the best of authority to-night that he is a far sicker man than the reports which have 1ssued from his ¢hamber would inaicate. When he went to bed it was announced that the cause therefor was the return of an old abdominal complaint, and that he | would be housed only for a day or two, but it turns out that Dan had an out-and- out attack of pneumonia as the result of the sndden change of climate. The at- mosphere of Carson is extremely treacner- | ous at this season of the year and nips a tenderfoot entirely without warning. Stuart weathered the attack nicely until last night, when he bad a relapse. for a time it looked as though the popul Texan would not survive to see the r zation of his scbeme to pull off the great- est prize-fight of the centuiy. But he is the happy possessor of & comstitution of | iron,and be finally beat off tne clammy hand that sought to fasten itself on his throat. To-day the doctors said he was doing well and once more out of danger. if apything serious should happen to Stuart there is no telling what would be- come of the prize-fight project. It would be left on the handsof W. K. Wheelock and Al Livingston. This was rather a busy day at the re- spective training - quarters of the big bruisers—busier at Shaws Springs,though, than at Fitzsimmons’' camp. All of the Cornishman’s muscle-making apparatus Sev- | eral doctors were called in hurriedly, and | mile tramp over the snow-covered road leading over the foothiils south of the ranch, a couple of glove bouts with Dan | Hickey and a spell of wrestiing with Ernest Roeber. Fitzsimmons goes to bed at night with the chickens and is the first one up in the morning. He is a sleeper and he believes it is impossible for him <o | get too much. There was another arrival at the ranch | | this morning in the person of a Chinese | chef, whom Julian unearthed in San | Francisco and brought with him. Fiiz- simmons insisted upon having a chat with the Celestial before he wou!d accept | him int> the bousehold. First he wanted | to know 1f the cook was a highbinder. | “Yep, me Sam Yup man,” replied the Chinaman, with an expausive grin. “Sam Yup man, eh? Are the Sam Yups all serappers?” “You bet. “Well, that's all right then. scrapper's camp, you know.” Then, after Fitzsimmons got assur- ances from the newcomer that he could | | cook rice and rats to the queen’s taste, he | | formally instalied him in the kitchen and | prociaimed him the boss of that depari- | ment until St. Patrick’s day. Corbett continues to draw more visitors | to his quarters than does Fitzsimmons. This is because of the «uperior condition } of the road leading to Shaws Springs and the fact that it is a shorter trip than that | | out to Cook’s ranen. **Pompadour” Jim | putin some heavy licks during the duy, wearing out all his trainers, but not once showing any siens of [atigue himself. | | The manner in which Corbett isimprov- | ing as re ards his ability to endure work | is really surprising.

He This is a during the day, working two hours in the morning and an hoar and a halfin tie afternoon. This evening he came into town and attended a pertormance of “All the Comforts of Home,” at the Opera- house, The play was given by some clever Carson amateurs, and given in splendid style. The house was packed in anticipation of Corbett’s coming, and his appearance was the signal for a great burst of applause. A stage box had been bandsomely decorated with American flags in his honor, and from this conspicu- ous place he watched the performance. J. C. MANSFIELD. — CORBETI'S LATEST ACQUISITION. Chicago Dentist Will dssist in Training the Champion. CARSON, Ngv., Feb. 23,—The most at- tractive spot in Carson to-day was the race-track, where a force of carpenters was engaged in sorting out lumber for Stuart’s vavilion, while erowds of shivering report- ers stood around in the snow and watched operation March 12 is the date fixed by Architect Donoboe for the completion of the struc- ture. Bad weather may set the work back f rafew davs, but liberal allowance has been made for tnis. While drawing the plans Donohoe bore ia mind the possibil- ity of a heavy snowfall and the arena will be so constructed that it can be cleared o snow in a few hours. The seats will be more comfortable than might be supposed at first observation, and the graduations have been 30 nicely calculated that nothing will obstruct the view from even the cheapest chairs. Governor Sadler asserts that be will not occupy the box tendered to him by Stoart. “I will buy my ticket just like any other citizen,” he insists. *‘I did only my duty in signing the bill under which con- tests of this pature are permitted, and I propose to contribute my share to the sac- cess of the first carnival.

Stuart bas a large force of men and teams breaking ground for the foundation for his amphitheater. Nearly all of the material is n>w on the ground. Corbett and Fitzsimmons are wasting no time in putting themselves into perfect condition for the glaaiatorial contest. [ newspapers have begged me to be their guest, but I wantall to understand that I will enter that arena as a private citizen.” Fitz ocoupied himself with hammer and saw to-day. He designed and helped to build a small rubdown-room off the mam exercise hall, driving nails as neatly as he fashions hor:eshoes. Roeber and Hickey assisted in earrying around lumber and patching up chinks through which cold aircreptin on the worker. The outdoor track also receivea some attention. Martin Julian arrived this morning from San Francisco with a noted Chinese chef who carriss about a French name.

He was photographed in sixteen different poses in as many min- utes after his arrival. Fitzsimmons’ old sparring partner, assist the Cornishman. Owing to McVey’'s continued illness Corbett was not kept as busy to-day as he wished. Dr. Pine, the robust Chicago dentist who gave Corbett such an argu- ment recently in the Windy City, wiil reach Carson to-morrow afternoon and re- main at Shaws Springs until March 17. Corbett will put on the mits with the doctor every day and expects some lively rallies. Jeffreys, the Los Angeles wonder #ho stripped at 198 pounas in econdition, is also expected from San Francisco to- morrow. He will relieve Billy Woods of part of the heavy work and Corbett ex- pects to find in him a lively voungster. George Green, whose match with “Mys- terious” Biliy Smith is now almost as- sured, may drop into the champion’s quarters any day. Stuart located Smith this aflernoon, and is now trying to con- vince the Bosion welter-weight that he has an opportunity to earn $3000 on March 16. —_—— FITZSIMMONS IN A WALK. That Is the Proph-oy Made by Dominick MeCaffrey. OMAHA, Nesg., Feb. 23.—Dominick Me- Caffrey, the o!d-time j ugilist, is spending a few months on the ranch of his brother at O’'Neill, Nebr. He is greatly interested in the approach- ing fight betwe:n Corbett and Fitzsim- mons, and in an interview to-day had tnis to say: “Liook atitin this way: It is a great boxer against a great fighter, and you know there is a vast difference between | boxing and fighting. | “The fighter generally brings the money | home, all things considered. I feel sure | that Fitzsimmons will win if he gets fair piay. You know an individual cannot beat any army; you also know how he was treated in San Francisco. Corbett will be hanaled by smarter people than will look after Fitzsimmons, and heisa better business man all round, and is more clever in boxing. On the other hand there is no man alive whom Fitzsimmeons cannot hit, and when he lands he makes the desired impression. Corbett never got hurt up to date, and when he does he will | forget his cleverness. | “It will certainly be the greatest fight | of the century and the best chance to make money. I would back Fitzsimmons to a standstill had I the money to do so. | The case puts me in mind of my fight with Sullivan to some extent. I had the good will of the country, but their position in the busi- ness and the social world would not allow them to fight for my rights at the | ringside. Fitzsimmons is single-handed and alone and is disliked by the sports; still with fair play he will win. That {s| my unbiased opinion.” | McCuffrey bas a pretty good idea of fightors, and his declaration that Fitz- | simmons wiil land a winner at Carson carried with it much weight in local sporting circles. This already shows it- self in the bets made to-night s S B New York. NEW YORK, Y., Feb. 23,—The fol- lowing is a tabulated list of some of the recent wagers made in New York on the big fight: Ed4 Kearney Jr, $2000 to $1600 with Dick Roche that | bett will win; Charles Thorley, $500 to §500 with a well-gnown clubman that Corbett will win. Dr. Ramon 8. Guitra, $400 to $500 with s member of the New York Athietic Club that Fiizsim- mons will win. “Honest” Jokn Kelly, $500 to $400 with Dick Roche that Corbett will win; Al Sheldon, $500 even with a Chicago man that Corbett will win; Sam 7 & that Corbett will win; Ed Kearney Jr., $.00 to $160 with Ike Plant that Corbett will win. ——— Fitzatmmons’ Stock Rising. BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 23.—Aithough there was little betting to-day on the Cor- bett-Fitzsimmons fight, the Cornishman’s stock continues to rise. Several thousand dollars was received to-day to place on Fitzsimmons at the best odds obtainable. At Gay’s Hotel, the Columbia, Quincy House and Clark’s Fitzsimmons’ money can be had at 10 to 8 Jerry Sullivan placed $150 to $125. to-day that Fitzsim- mons would win. = SO, Vendtg Threat-ns Trouble, NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 23. — Dan Stuart’s $10,000, which is the balance of the $15,000 purse, arrived to-day, although “Al” Smith would not admit the fact direetly, as he does not wish to have the money attached by Joe Vendig’s lawyers. Vendig claims to be Stuart’s partner, but the latter has repudiated him. Consequently, Vendig's lawyers pro- pose taking action in his behalf in the TUnited States courts at once, and sporting men are afraid an attempt may be made to locate and levy on the $15,000 purse money which is supposed to be in the hands of the fina: stakehoider. They fear Vendig may spring some big surprise in a legal way that will interfere with the fight. Stanford- Vakiand Field Day. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Feb. 23.—Arrangements are being made to hold a field day on March 13 between the Stan- ford freshmen and the Oakland High School. Track Manager Brown and Charles Dole, captain of the Varsity team, are anxious to bring about such a meeting, The plucky bovs from the other side of the bay sent a team to play the freshmen a game of football last year. Although they did not win, they made a good show- ing. The proposed field day would per. mit a combarison of strengih of the two representative teams. NEW TO-DAY.

Explained by the President of the Wholesale Grocers’ Asscciation. American Tobzcco Company’s Presi- dent Tells of the Methods of H:is Monopoly. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 23.—The joint jegislative committee investigating trusts, etc., in this State resumed its hearing this moraing. Waldo Smith, president of the Whole- sale Grocers' Association, said his associa- tion was not incorporated and extended through New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire and Vermont. To ebtain ad- mission each member of a firm had to pay $10a year. He denied that his associa- tion controlied the price of sugar in any way. The only thing the association did, he said, was to send out a list of the prices in sugar prenared by the secretary. The grocers all over the country adopted the prices of the American Refining Company as the standard. Mr. Smith said nis firm bought goods from the American Sugar Refining Company and from the Mollen- hour Company. “And you get the same discount from both companies?"’ *“Yes, sir.” ‘‘Then the product of the Mollenhour Company is fixed by the quoted prices of the American Sugar Refining Company ?” | Mr. Smith said he had no knowledge of any such thing. He said the Wholesale | Grocers’ Association had asked the Amer- | ican Bugar Refining Company for a rebate which would prevent the cutting of prices. In other words, they asked for protection and the sugar company gave it to them. ‘Witness said that sugar was sold wherever the grocers’ organization existed at the | same price. H James R. Duke, president of the Amer- ican Tobacco Company, was the next wit- ness, He said the company was organ- 1zed in New Jersey because the laws there were more favorable. There were five companies organized into the American Tobacco Company—W. Duke Sons & Co., | Allen & Ginter, W. S. Kimball & Co., | Kinney Tobacco Co. and Gordon & Co. The companies were incorporated in 1830. | Nine concerns were taken in after the or: ganization. No manufacturing was done | in New Jersey. Several factories bad been | closed, but tue witness could not say how many people were thrown out of emnploy- | ment, but said a great many were re-em- | | ployed. Do you operate under a factors’ agree- ment?” +No, sir; we call ours a consignment agreement.” A copy of this was produced and placed in evidence. In reply to anotherqu-stion the witness énid that the companies con- | trolled from 80 to 90 per cent of the to-| bacco trade. { “How many competinz companies were | left at tLe tim - of the organization?” **About 100.” The witness said the agreement referred to the saie of cizarettes. “Then you have this agreement with wholesale grocers?” *Yes, sir.” s it a fact that the greater number of your consignees are wiolesale grocers?” “No, sir.” The witness said that if the consignees violated any clause in t e agreement it was withdrawn. The consignees are al- lowed under the agreement a 214 per cent commission und an additional 7¢ per cent if they handle the cigaret.es of tue Ameri- can Tobacco Company cxelusively and if they do not sell or in any way aid in the sale or distribution of cigarettes of other manufacturers. '-’l‘he: you compel the consignees to fix 1062 sit not a fact thata man cannot do business unless he bandles your cigar- eties?” “He can do business, but he cannot make as much money.” “Does not that state of things tend to make a monopoiy ?” *'No, sir; for the simple reason that we make and 'sell our own brands and any other person can make his own brands.”” “Is it a lact that the small merchant must take your brand in order to do busi- ness, and do-you not by the creation of the intermediate system of rebates and discounts practically secure for your produc:s a monopoly '’ “‘No, sir. Take another brand which the public wants and another manufac- turer can supply the whole business.” Senator Lexow announced an adjourn- ment until 10 o’clock to- morrow moraing. T0 GPEN INDIAN LANDS. A Foint of Order Leads to a Warm and Interesting Debate in the Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 23.—No- tice was given by Morrill (R.) of Vermont in the Sénate to-day of his intention to address the Senate on Thursday on the resolution in reference to the inde- pendence of Cuba. After the routine morning business the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill was resumed—the question being a point of ordér made yesterday by Vilas (D.) ot Wisconsin against the committee amendment for apportionment of the Un- compahgre Indiar reservation. The dis- cussion took a range beyond the parlia- mentary limit of order and extended to the question of valuable deposits of gu- senite and ssphaltum on the lands of the reservation in Utah, which Vilas wanted to have reserved by the Government. His argument was replied to by Cannon (R.) of Utah, who argued in favor of the opening of the reservation, which contains over 2,000.000 acres of land. He said the wmineral lands were passing into the hands of a corporation or monopoly. At the closeof nearly two hours' debate | the point of order was submitted to the Senate, which decided by a vote of 31 1o - 16 that the amendment was in order. Tie discussion went on as to the merits of the amendment. Pending the discvssion Mills (D.) of Texas offered a resolution, which wma agreed to, requesting the Prisident t’% transmit to the Senate a statement of thd facts concerning the arrest, imprisonment and death of Dr. Ricardo Ruiz .n the jail at Gnanobacoa, Cuba, with copies of ths correspondence on the subject. The Vice-President laid before the Sen. ate a report from the Secretary of State a3 to the persons claiming to be American citizens who were captured on board ihs Competitor. _Referred to the Committes on Foreign Relations. ‘The discussion over the Uncompahgre reservat on went on for a couple o! hours Brown (R.) of Utah argued vehemently i1 support of the amendment and in favor o opening the reservation to the people. Clark (R.) of Wyoming took the same po- sition. Palmer (D.) of Iilinois favored dispos. ing of the valuable gilsenite deposits by public sale. 3 Jones (D.) of Arkansas assailed the bil] on account of its injustice to the Ute In. dians, whose reservation it was. Vest (D.) of Missour: bitterly ¢ the administration, declaring a tne complications in the matter had re. sulted from the refu-al of the President to execute the law. Vilas protested against what he called the arraignment of the President by Ve I arraign the President, if the Senato so characterizes my remarks,” said Ves:, “because I declare that he had no right t. disobey an act of Congress which w mandatory upon him. If he believed that we were wastine the substance of the people, he should have called it to our ttention in a legislational way and asked us'to right the wrong. Instead of that, he usurped legislative funciions and declared that he would not obey the act of C’u'.h gress. These are the undisputed facts. 8o far from their Deing undisputed facts,”” said Vilas, “I am astonished that the Senator irom Missouri should make such a statement.”” Vilas then offered an amendment to ms} e ticized amendment providing for a survey of tb reservation, the mineral lots to be sub- divided into lots of suitable size and form and a royalty or price per ton to be fixed for asphaltum, gilsenite and other min- erals, and that instead of a patent, a lease shall issue for each of such lots for twenty-five years, subject to the payment of the royalty. Brown (R.) of Utah opposed the amend- ment as overthrowing the seitled and es- tablished mining laws of the country un- der which the man who first made his mining location staked out his claim. Under the proposed amendment claims were to be staked out by the Government and disposed of by lease. In other re- ects the established mining laws of the country were to be set aside and obliter- ated with one swe(p, and the Government was to “stand in as partner or as a land- lord.” It was such a policy as that which had cost the life of one of the early Eng- lish Kings. Vilay’ amendment was rejected. The committee amendment was modi- fied by one offered by Vest and agreed to. Ayes 45, noes 15. It now reads: Thatall of the Uncompahgre Indian reser- vation in the State of Utah except 10,000 acres of botiom land extending about ten or twelve miles up the White River on both sides from its mouth is hereby declared open to public entry under the laws of the United States, provided that no person shall be al- lowed to make more than ivur claims on lands containing gilsenite.
