What he fears more than anything else is that he might meet with some injury or contract a_cold, or have something bappen which would room for excuses for his defeat, if defeat should be his portion, and for that reason he has even refused to skylark with his visitors or to venture outof doors at night, or in fact to take any chances whatever. i1am beaten in this contesi,”’ he said to me one day, ‘I want so be in a position to take off my hat and say that my defeat was due to the simple fact that I met a better man and nothing more.

It mav bethat they will insist upon outdoor work in spite of the snow, and in that event Corbett may change his mind. I know that both of these trainers are great sticklers for this class of work and I can scarcely believe that a foot or so of snow will canse them to abandon their hobby. 1 would not be surprised, there- iore to see the champion out climbing over drifts to-morrcw, encased in gum boots and furs and feeling his way withan Alpine staff.

The weather clerk is to blame for itall. We wers awakened this morn- ing by a rattling of shutters and sough- of trees, and the oldest in- tants informed us that something | was coming off. Just what this some- | thing was to be they hesitated to say, but | from their solemn expressions of counte- | nance it was more than obvious that they looked for more serious results than those sually left by a passing zephyr. As the day grew older the blow increased in vio- ence until it finally reached a stage when | there could no longer be doubt as to what was in store. A snowstorm was plainly in sight.

The training induiged in by the big fel- lows to-day was much the same as that which has been going on right along. Fitzsimmons prowled around the hills during the forenoon, then tramped into town for his mail and in the aiternoon went through his course of bag-punching, boxing, wrestling and working the wrist- | machine. . When the Cornishman arrived in town the first thing that was noticed as regards his appearance was the fact that his left optic looked as though somebody had been This [ ascertained was the handiwor: Dan Hicker, Bob's boxing partner.

Dr. Guinan, the physician who yester- | day examined Corbett and pronounced | bim to be in perfect physical condition, visited Fitzsimmons’ camp this evening for the same purpose. The Cornishman readily submitted himself to the test. Dr. Guinan was thorough in everything he did, and when he finished he smiled and said that he guessed Fitzsimmons could pass muster. I thought when I examined Corbett,” he said, “that he was the most perfect specimen of physical manhood I had ever seen, but now I find that there are two such beings in the world. Barring a slight cold, Fitzsimmons is simply grand so far as health and condition are con- cerned. He is marvelously developed about the chest and shoulders, snd I am satistied that he is fit to undergo a tre- mendoust test of endurance without dan- ger.” J. G. MANSFIELD. g IN THE TRAINING QUARTERS. Corbett Indulges in Four Lively Sparring Bowuts. CARSON, Ngv,, March 5—The chief interest to-day centered about Corbett. He had practically loafed for two days and great things were expected of him. | Nobody was disappointed. Breakfast out | of the way Jim threw on asweater and | called out his dog Laddie. Together they | rambled over the hills in the direction of Emptre, dodging & few jackrabbits and dodging around innumerable bowlders. Corbett does not fancy road work. He claims that it stiffens his legs and im- pedes his rapid footwork, which saves him from so many blows. After dinner he juggled with the wrist machine for a quarter of an hour before tackling the bag. Timing himself he hooked the ball with his left continuously | for ten minutes and punched.it with vigor with straight rights and lefts for ten more. Hurrying over to the court he called ouc | Jeffries, with Edgren on deck, and the fun | be=an. | The bulky citrus belt pugilist is improv- ling every day.

Soon Be The Su!ject Also Discussed at a Con- ference of Health Officials and Professors. The pure food committee of the Council of Associated Industries met yesterday in the rooms of the Manutacturers’ and Producers’ Association, Mills building, to consiaer further the question of grappling with the sale of impure and adulterated foods. Among the subjects discussed was the prosecution of cases already begun and those soon to go on the calendar of Judge Campbell’s court; the attitude of the Board of Health in keeping the result of its analysis secret until passed upon officially; the general attitude of the press on the question, and the advisability of calling a convention for the near future in order to bring the crusade more promi- nently before the public and arouse a grezter interest in the work now going on. The action of the Board of Health met generally with commendation, as it is so difficult "to remedy an error when once it gels out. In prosecuting cases B. N. Raviey was in favor of going aiter the manufacturers, the fountain-head whence flows all that is | impure in the food iine. The question was raised at this time: “What are we go- boundary of the State?” Julian Sonntag thought it would be best in this, as in most other cases, to make haste slowly. Oscar Lewis was appointed a committee of one to waiton W. that attorney could elucidate the question as to whom the war should be waged on. The following resolutions, aiter a cursory discussion were adopted unanimously : WHEREAS, The food reform movement is at the present time becoming as it Is in other States East end throughout the world one of the most importantmovements; aud whereas, the said movement against the adulteration HE RAN DOWN A HEN- coor.’ AND OVER THE POOR oL CAT e g MEETS AN & OBSTRUCTION A ABOVE S5 FITZ TRIES OUT HIS WHEEL WITH RESULTS AS ABOVE.

But predictions and customs were swept away by this wind—a wind that would | have made envious the historical big wind | in Ireland, and along about 4 o’clock this fternoon flakes of snow began to flit into | wn and into the faces of pedestrians. | ere has been no cessation of the visita- | on, and to-night Carson is cloaked in a | mantle of immacuiate white. But to return to the beginning. eudden and unexpected change in weather has sent sadness and disappoint- ment into both training camps. And no | wonder, for it practically means an end to road work in the open air—a branch of the preparatory work whicu the handlers | of both Corbett and Fitzsimmons have | deemed most important of late. Both of | be big fellows delight to take a spinon | their bikes, in addition to getting out on dry roads for sprinting matches with their | trainers, but to-night’s change means that | they will have to be content with Arcti: | shoes and furs in preference to bikes and | spikes. This sudden reversal of climatic condi- tions has given rise to much animated di cussion in all parts of Carson as to which | of the two big lellows will suffer most by ’ the new conditions. The consensus of | opinion is that it will work more to the | advantage of Corbett than to that of Fitz- simmons. Thereason given is this: When both Corbett and Fitzsimmons arrived the snow was a foot or more deep for miles and miles surrounding Carson. The Cali- fornian immediately electea to do only indoor work and his trainers acquiesced, not particularly for their own convenience | 80 much as for the safety of the cham- | pion. Corbett bimself said at the time that inasmuch as he was in a strange climate he wouid prefer not to take any chances in exposing himself and would rather do all of his training indoors and go into th ring Without colds or rheuma- tism than to give anybody a chance to say | that he was unfit for the battle and de- liberately threw down his friends and backers. But not so with Fitzsimmons. The red- headed athlete proclaimed at once that | snow was as propitious for training as was the dry ground, and, although be was de- prived o the pleasure he could have with his erratic bicycle, he included a daily trudge through the snow in his routine of work aud stuck to it until the thaw had wet in and the roads become clear. It is the knowledge of the preferences of the two championship aspiraats in regard to training in the snow that has caused all the discussion that is going on to-night. If the storm continues with the violence ‘hat characterizes it now, it simply means hat the roads will not be clear again until afier the 17th of March. It may be that Corbett will not adhere to hbis original an- nouncement that he would take no chances out in the snow ana that he will adopt Fiizsimmons’ tactics and brave the elements rather than sacrifice the benefits to be obtained by exercise out in the free, open air. He will have to fight with only the blue This | the | | Look at that eye on Roeber. | was about the heaviest da trifle, however; in fact, he scems rather proud of it. “It means,” he said in his usual off- hand ay, “ihat when I box with ners they have no instructions to go easy, as I have rea to believe is the case out at Shaws Sr s.

After luncheon he punched the bag, boxed, played hsnd-bali, worked the wrist machine and skipped the rope. It ’s work he did Now that his wife and sister this week. have returned to San Francisco be has | started in to finish up his training with more zeal than ever, and from the appear- ance of things the only fear his frainers wili have is that he might do too much work. Dan Stuart did not come out for a sun- ning to-day, as has been the case since he reacned a convalescent state. The weather was too threatening and his doctors or- dered him to stay indoors. As a matter of fact the genial, big Texan is not round- 1o as rapidly as had been hoped for. The effects of the pneumonia still cling to him, and his friends are beginning to doubt seriously whether he will be well and strong enough to take charge of the big carnival on the 17th of March. But he has able assistants, and even if he is forced to keep in his apartments the great project will be carried through success- fullv just the same. There is no longer any doubt about the intention of many women to attend the Corbett-Fitzsimmons contest. The first ticket to admit a woman was sold to the wife of a prominent Carson resident sev- eral days ago. She will accompany her husband and occupy a box close to the ring. Since then applications have come in for over fifty seats for women—appli- cations coming from various parts of the United States—and Secretary Wheelock says (e is confident that on tne duy of the contest there will be at least 1000 of the fair sex present. Escorteti by Architect Donohoe I spent nearly an hour to-day in the arena where the three big batties are to be fought. The structure is so near completion now that one can form a fair idea of what a mammoth affair it is. It is a veritable re- roduction of the famous Coliseum of Rome, except that it is more circular n form that oval shaped. I climbed over the seats to the very last row in order to ascertain what sortof a view one could obtain from that point, and wes really surprised. The tiers rise so sharply one above the other tiat there can be abso- lutely no obstruction to a complete view of the ring. The last row is just 150 feet from the ropes, but owing to the perfect arrangement of the seats this cannot be considered a drawback at all. These back seats will not be reserved and will be sold for $5 each. Separate en- trances and staircases are to be provided for each section, so that there will be no chance of confusion when the crowd arrives. A cordon of barbed wire wiil separate each of the divisions, thus pre- venting the usurpation of reserved seats.

Most judges agree that the talent is there. Con McVey was roughly handled by the champion in their wrestling bout, | which followed Edgren’s round. He ap- peared to be perfectly helpless, and Jim | banged him up against the wall time and again, thumping his breast meanwhile | like a Salvation Army drummer beating time on a cold evening. It was Billy Woods, however, who illus- trated the champion’'s hitting power. With his armor blown up taut he strutied out, only to be pounced upon like a wild- cat. Right and left Jim slogged him on the jaw, and when his guard went up he caught 1t on the breast with long-range straight drives or lightning uppercuts. Each of the four men went through four rounds of three minutes each before Jim was satisfied. Then brother Joe and Al Hampton played him two games of handball each, after which he called it a day’s wor Over at Fitzsimmons’ quarters the reg- ulation programme went through without | a hitch. Bob took 8 morning walk and a | ernoon wrestling with Roeber, sparring | with Hickey and Ste'zner ahd punching | the bag. Very few spectators paid admis- | sion to the gymnasium and altogether it was a dull day around the Cornishman’s cottage. Few people arrived to-day and no celeb- rities were reported on the road. The ‘Western Union brought in two additional wires from Reno this morning, thus in- creasing its facilities to nine circuits, five of which are quadruplex and two Wheat- stone. The time of transmission to the East has been reduced to a minimum. NO MONTE CARLO IN THEM. Senate Bill 14 and Assembly Bill 260 Made Needed Provision in Reference to Horseracing. SACRAMENTO, CaAr, March 5.—Sen- by Bettman, have been assailed as having been framed for :he purpose of creating a | Monte Carlo at Emeryville. A moreerro- | neous opinion of the measures which are | indicated could not well be formed. The bills bave been examined by com- | petent attorneys, who declare that they were framed solely and only for the pur- pose of legalizing the acts of the Board of Supervisors who called an election for the pupose of creating the town of Emeryville. Foreigr: books are barred from the track by an agreement between the two racing associations, which is to last for two years, and such a thing as a Monte Carlo there is absurd. Tube charge that Bettman is acting in the interest of the Oakland track is un- founded. He had an honorable reputa- tion when he went to Sacramento and has done nothing to sully it.

Be it further Resolved, That & committee of five be ap- pointed o arrange details regarding the said convention. The convention will probab'y be held some time within two or three weeks. It will probably be held under the ans- pices of the Manuiacturers’ and Pro- ducers’ Association, as thit body was the first to acitate the pure food movement. Reports of all committees will be mude to-day at the meeting of the council, booked for 2 P. M. A meeting of the Board of Health was held iast evening to confer with Professor Rising, State analyst, and Professor W, | T. Wenze!, chemist of the board, with re- gard to the movement for pure foods. It was presided over by Dr. J. F. Morse, chairman of the committee on miik and food. Isador Jacobs and Oscar Lewis were present, representing the food committee of the Council of Associated Industries. J. B. Reinstein, regent of the university, who has been instrumental in forming plans for the crusade, was also present and advised the chemists as to their duties under the law. He said that it would not be necessary for them to make exact analyses of foods, but to discover whether deleterious adulterations be in- troduced or the quality or strength re- duced, or whether the article was what it ‘was represented to be. Mr. Jacobs said the crusade for pure food to be inaugurated by the board would be of vast benefit to fruit-growers and to | other producers in this State; that canned | fruits were being imported to California { from London in such great quantities that the grower here was practicully starving, the reason being that packers adulterated here to such an extent thut merchants had to go abroad to get pure goods. “If the packers here were honest,” said | Mr. Reinstein, ‘‘the fruit-growing indus- try along would support the State. By their adulterations the puackers have driven business away from them and paralyzed the industry.” “This movement will spread over the State once it is inaugurated here,” said Jacobs. “It will make an enormous sum of money for the State; itis the best thing that has been done for it in a long time; it gives a value to the products of the State at once.” Professor Rising said he would be glad to co-operate with the chemist of the board in every way. He saw the neces- sity for the movement, he said. Food was adulterated to_an extent not popularly understood. Very cheap ar- ticles in “ofive oil,” for instance, was almost without exception nothing more than cotton-seed oil flavored with mus- tard seeu. As to wines, he had heard so many reports cf late of adulterations that he was appalled. The pure-food crusade will be in- augurated vigorously at once, and wherever aduiterations are discovered prosecntions will be begun. Dr. Morse thanked the gentlemen of the Associated Industries, Mr. Reinstein and the chemists for responding to such short notice, and the meeting adjourned, Grading douth of Fresno.

BANTA CRUZ, CAL., March 5.—An ar- fecting demonstration of a mother's love for her boy was witnessed here yesterday in'the meetine at the County Jail of Mrs. Williams of San Francisco and her son, J. Moss, who has been sentenced, together with J. P. Densen, to eighteen months in the State Prison for stealing Fisherman Perez’s boat. The mother was too poor to Dpay her fare to Santa Cruz and when she heard of her boy’s trouble she started afoot, walking the entire distance. From the time she left San Francisco until she reached this city there was hardly an hour when rain was not falling or a cold wind blowing, but it dla not change her pur- pose. She would have saved her son from the disgrace of a term in prison had 1t been within her power, but there was no en- couragement to be derived irom the facts in the case. The evidence against the young man is too strong, and District At- torney Carl Lindsay had, before her ar- rival, secured a plea of guilty without the expense of a trial. FUR 4N EXHIBIT AT HAMBURG. San Jose’s Board of Trade Favors a State Appropriation. SAN JOSE, CAL., March 5.—At & meet- ing of the Board of Trade this evening the following resolutions were adopted: In view of the fact that a bill has been pre- sented to the Legislature to appropriate $6000 for the purpose of making » filling representa- tion of tue products of this State at the forth- coming Hamburg Exposition, and as the Legislature will adjourn withina few days— theretore be it Resolved, ‘That this Board of Trade urge our Senators and representatives now assembled atSacramento 10 take immediate steps look- ing to favorable action on this bill, for the reason that & considerable demand’ already exists in Germany for the preserves ana drie: fruits of Californin, aggregating probably 100 carlonds during. the past year (about 50 per cent ot this having gone direct from Santa Clara County).

A DEAD MANS NAME 1S NEEDED Sterling A. Hopkins, the Old Marshal, Is Wanted in Alameda. His Signa ure Dematded by the Heirs of the Late Mayor Andrus. But the Marshal of the O d Vigilantes Died in the Battl~ of the Wi'der- ness in Sixty-Four. A recent inquiry for Sterling A. Hop- kins, who was a prominent member of the famous Vigilance Committee of 1856, has come from several local attorneys, who want his evidence to clear the title to a piece of land at the southeast corner of Manuel and Jackson sireets, Alameda, being a part of the estate of the late ex- Mayor W. R. Andrus of Oakland. “This inquiry shows how short is the memory of the masses,” said Attorney Os- car T.Shuck, yesteraay. ‘‘My Statistical Abstract shows,” said he, ‘‘that Hopkins was killed in the Battle of the Wilderness onJunel, 1864. Thisinformation cannot be found in the San Francisco newspapers, but isin the old files of the Sacramento Union.” The point about which lawyers are wor- ried could be cleared by Hopkins if the dead could speak, but the attorneys in the case have not yet learned of Hopkins' death, though his long silence, in view of his prominence in pioneer times, might indicate that he had aied. In 1856 Hopkins was Marshal of San Francisco. hile he was in the act of ar- resting & notorious character he was stabbed in the neck by David 8. Terry, at thal time Caliiornia’s Chief Justice. For a long time Hopking’ life trembled in the balance, during which time the Vigilantes decided that they would hang Judge Terry if the wound resulted in death. At the time of the stabbing Hop- kins was in the act of arresting Reuben Mallony, who had been captured on the bay by Vigilance officers. Malioney had taken refuge in a room at the State Armory, at the corner of Washington and Kearny streets. Judge Terry was present at the time of the attempted arrest and he deciared that nobody sbould be arrested in his presence by any person claiming authority irom an itlegally constituted tribunal. Hop- kins retired for a time and returned with an armed force. Judge Terry presented a rifle, which Hopkins seized, whereupon Terry plunged a dagger into the back of his neck, severing the carotid artery. The Vigilantes then filled the streets to the number of 1500, surrounding the armory where Terry and bis friends were barricaded. All this occurred on June 20, and Terry was not released until August7. 1t is probable that the absence of Hop- kins’ signature to the deeds in question will result in a compromise among his heirs, for the owission of the ancestor’s signature gives some of them a Color of right to several valuable tracts of prop- erty. PIUTES KAMPANT. May Yet Tako the Warpath Over That Mason Palley Murdor. VIRGINIA, Nxv., March 5—The pros- pect of trouble between the Piutes and whites has not yet disappeared. The cause of the uprising last week, when the militia was called out, was the murder of a Piute named Jim King in Mason Valley by a man named Logan. King was killed while protecting his sister from assault. Logan escaped and the Indians threatened trouble if he was not punished. He was captured and the out- break subsided. Preliminary examination of Logan was held yesterday before the Justice of the Peace at Dayton, Lyon County, in which Mason Valley is situated. The examina- tion was a farce and Logan was acquitted. He was put in the County Jail, however, for safe keeping, and during the day Cap- tain Dave, chief of the Mason Valley Piutes, secured an order from District Judge Mack of this place holding Logan for trial. In the meantime fifty Piutes armed with Winchesters guard the Dayton jail and a party of twelve Indians, also armed, search every outgoing _train to make sure that Logan is not spirited away. A race war is imminent if Logan is not punished. e Watsonville Gambler Fined. SANTA CRUZ, Car., March 5.—Jndge Swith of the Superior Court has decided that the game of keno as conducted by L. H.
