According to the remarks of the of- ficers of the Cuban League peo- ple have now ceased to be occu- pied with thoughts of Carson and can turn again to a more distant fight with its more noble purpose. They can now gather together and in crystallized senti- ments strike an unwarlike but sympa- thetic and helpful blow for Cuba that must be free. SECOND DAY FEAST | ON THE BIG FIGHT Much Hearing and Reading | and Ccming From Carson. The Ex-Champion Enjoys a Rest-} ful Day of Praise and | Private Life. Winners G2t Money, Sports Flock to | Tcwn and the K ng Will Ar- rive To-Duy. A laree part of the population of San | Francisco put in a good deal of time yes- terday discussing the fight of fignts that has passed into history. His Greatness was still in Carson pet- ting his wife, baby and butchered lips in his simple, homely way, and tne visible fragments of the fight that reached town before night consisted only of one James | J. Corbett, a young man of much skill as | a boxer, and a few well-known citizens, largely weil respecied ones, who had seen the thrilling straggle. | Yes, there was something in -additional | that was fresh from the famous pine sta- dium of the silver State. In the afternoon Market-stréet windows displayed relics to | tix glittering eyes of passers-by. There | was one of the ring posts to be seen and | there were two yards of the rope to which | Corbett clung, and there in piain view was a black, rusi- relic that was labeled, “'the knife that cut this rope at the ring- side.” The public attent'on given to the fight | was retrospective and reflective. Gushing | iountains_of wisiom and philusophy opened, Everybodv read the newspaper | aceounts, evervbody gave some expression of both opinion and seniiment, and an | immense number of people exhibited stock of hindsigh | The first arrivais, aside from Corbett and the three or four who returned with iim night before last, were those who went on Harry Corbett's special. This arrived about 4 o’clock, bringing Harry Corbett, Seconas Delaney and W cods and | 1he rest of Corbett’s entourage. The rest, | or most of them, zot in on the late even- | ing overland (rain.

Late in the eveniug they en- livened the botels and resorts. The Bald- win Hotel was the chief place they peopled. I'here was the great Bai Masterson, late of Dodge City and now of Denver, he whose terrifymng name is_translat:d “law and o:der.” Parson Duavies of Chicago got in.

But Fitzsimmons was not here to be cheered and followed about the streets by | crowds to add triumphal proceedings of | any sort to the goings-on about town and 10 somehow add a permeating zes: to the day sfier the fight. Fitzsimmons will reach the City this morning with his wife, c.ild. Brothe: -law Julian and the rest of his party. They bave enzaged rooms at the Baldiwin, and that hosteiry will be the lodestone of to-day. Corbett ate his breakfast in his com- fortable bed, and it suited his private This event did notseem as important as it had been. A few friends helped brighten the early afternoon in his rooms at the St. Nicholas, | and about 3 o'clook & carriage wheeled him away. Five o'clock found him in Harry Cor- bett’s saloon with his brothers, trainers and some of his intimate sporting friends. He smiled often, sometimes at heasly and eucouraging slaps on the back, and chatted over the champagne that sparkled frequently where there was no hilarity. | Tney were paying bets at Corbett's place ana a large and picturesque crowd of wise men were patiently drifting 1n one iong line from thesidewalk to the cashier’s window far at the rear. The motley string represented all -walks in life, but by the nabiliments and the faces the great ma- jority of tickets were small ones and thankfully clutched. Here, now, if any of youse take tickets to cash out o' turn Il stop yez at the window and send yez to the foot of the line,” warned the young marshal who formed the line and vigorously plowed the gangway. They looked much at the green belt worn at Carson by Corbett and now above the bar, and they crowd-d in a suffocating way to get a glimpse of Corbett, but there were no chkeers. Corbett looked as well and as natty as ever, and his face d played no matks. After a while a can age'roiled bim back to his hotel. The City was full of his friends who were sad- dened or regretful ut his defeat, and every friend who'met him with warm greeting «poke of that unlucky accident, and of the fuct that uespite it he was the real cham- There were persistent rumors early in | tie day, ns there had been in_the aiter- | noon and evening before, that Harry Cor- | bett was going 1o “‘welch’—that in his confidence in Jim he had bet money staked with h:m, and would not be able to pav ail bets at his poolroom. The rumor was unfounded and _tickets were cashed promptly and exveditiously at Corbett’s poolrooms. Harry paid bets at Carson day before vesterday and trans- ferred the rest of his Carson business here, Bets were paid for several hours evenin belore last at his Ellis-street place an bout 11 o’clock yesterday forenoon the pavment of straizht tickets was resumed, 0 be continued untis all were paid. Late in ihe afiernoon the payment of Paris mutuals was aiso begun. Harry Corbett stated yesterday that bets amounting to about $107,000 had been represented combination beis. It was his julgment that the total wagers in this City on the fight amounted to about $150,000. Harry Corbett does not tell what he bat on Jim further than to vouchsate the in- formation that it was his “‘100se money,” and for how much Jim backed himseif is likewise without officiai report. P. J. Corbett, the iuther, declares that his wagers amounted to just $40, v how much Fiizsimmons is richer and Corbett poorer by wnat huppened on 8t. Patrick’s day w:li not be known for a =ood while, because it sll depends on the kinetoscope business. Fitzsimmons has the $15000 purse and whatever he may have won on himself, and he ana Corbett have an interest in the kinetoscope en- terprise. The figures and terms of the deal are not pubiic property, but some people, who say they know, say that Fits- simmons and Corbeit are each to get 15 E“ cent of the kinetoscope earnings, Dan tuart another percentage and the com- pany the rest. The kinetoscope enterprise promises to be a brilliant financial success and to Their parties of friends and local men of muke a mint of money for somebody. The day was perfect and the pictures will be so, and the world will be filled with | their exhibitions. Many are curious to know when they will be along and how much it will cost to see the fight, It was learned yesterday that it will| probably be a month before the pano- rama will be ready for the pudlic. The long negatives are now being rushed to New York for development and then for reproduction in_a great guantity. They | will not at first be shown in_the ordinary kinetoscope, but will be displayed every- where by the magniscope, which will pro- ject the movine scene of battle on screens on a lije-size scale. The fight will bte reproduced tnus in hails at stated hours, each production be- ing one erntertainment. The company will sell rights to State« and P. Bacigalupi is after the Calilornia right with the ex- pectation of paving about §20,000 for-it. Corbett attended the Orpheum Theater last eveniog and when he appeared with his wife during the second intermission he received quite an ovation from the | audieuce. That great entertainment at the Pavilion that was too early advertised for last évening and which was to have been Corbett’s triumphal reception here simply and quietly was lost in the shuffle. The Pavilion had been engaged by Alf Eliinghouse of the California Theater by William A. Brady’s order, but no devosit was put up and in the hour of defeat the affair lapsed without help or notice. Fitzsimmons has & great histrionic career open to him now. He has already received several flattering offers from theatrical managers, one of which has been telegrapbed from Tennessee. et i OAKLAND SPORTS RETURN. Ex-Champlon Van Court’s Opinlon of the Big Fight. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, March 18. The Oakland delegation from Carson ar- rived home this morning. They were all satisfied with the square sport they wit- nessed, but many regretted that they had not put their money on the other man. Eugene Van Court, who was formerly clrampion amateur boxer and wrestler of the co: who was a great Corbett man, bad this- 10 say to-day: “The fight was won by Mrs Fitzsimmons. Whenever Fitzsiamons went 10 bis corner his wile, who was only a few feet away, spoke a few words to him, and every time they seemed to make & néw man of him. After the seventh round, in which Fitzsimmons was very nearly whioped, he fought only for Mrs. Fitzsimmons. Had it not been for her presence I beiieve Bob would have given up in despair and have been easily knocked out in the eighth round. Before leaving Carson Fitzsimmons admitted that he believed he wus a beaten man in the sixth round. “it was a great ficht, and undoubtedl Corbett is the cleverer of the two men. It was a chance blow that Fitzsimmons wanted and the chance came. I still be- lieve that there is no one to-day superior to Corbett.”” Charlev Mautale n, who was in charge of the special from Oakland, said everybody was satisfied that they had seen the great- est battle of the age.” “There is noi the slightest questiol be said, ‘*but that Corbeil is by far the better man. All the Oaklanders had a good time, though some of them did not come home with as much money as they expected. The trip was well worth taking and the fight could not have been more scientific.” George McDonald, the well-known fire- man of engine 1, was a Fitzsimmons man, and he came home with enough coin fo enable him to retire for several weeks. Altsough the majority of Oakland visitors only paid for §5 seats, they were occupy- ing $40 chairs before the affair was over. When once the excitement siarted ro deputy sheriff< on earth could bave pre- vented the crowd from surging from the rear of the arena to the many vacant seats near the ring. In this regard the local delegation certainly got the worth of their money.

Judge Wallace made an order yesterday directing that Attorney J. H. Long be debarred from practicing his profession in Department 6 of the Superior Court, over which the jurisi named presides. Nicholas Brennan, charged with extor- tion and placing a female in a house of repute, was called on to proceed with bis trinl. It was expiained to the court that Brennan was not_ready to go ahead, as his attorney, Mr. Long, had deserted him at the eleventh hour; that Long had been paid $70 and wanted $:30 more; Brennan was not able to'pay the sum manded and Long had left him in the lurch, Judge Wallace said he was sorry he could not reach the derelict attorney in | some way, as he was deserving of severe punishment. He deemed it a duty to pro- vide against a recurrence of such a dis- graceful episode in kis court, and in- structed Clerk Salomon to note & minute order that Long should not hereafter be permitted to practice law in that depari- ment. Brennan’s trial was postponed, in order to give him a chance to hire a lawyer to conduct his defense. FELL INTO THE BAY. An Accldent to s tan Quentin' Stage Which Was Full of Passen- geors. The stage that runs between San Quen- tin and Greenbrae Station on the broad- gauge railroad met with an accident ves- terday that fortunately did not result fatally. The driver was driving a pair of young horses that shied on the grade near the brickyard. The bus was thrown off the bank into the bay, but the water at that point was not over three and a half feet deep. At the time there were six passengers in the stage and all were thoroughly soaked in the cold, muddy waters. Among them was a young lady, who fainted several times after being taken out of the covered vehicie and safely placed on the bank. A deputy sheriff irom Tu- olumne County with a prisoner were also well soaked, and Deputy United States Marshat Galiagher was to his waist. The driver got his stage and horses out without much damage. At the point where the stage toppled over the bank was fully six feet high. ——— A Migratory Newspaper.

E. Richards. A Practical V:ctory Won in a Compromise Verdict of Manslaughter. He Was Accuscd of Murdering Oag Abh Churg List N vember—The Case Hard Fcught. By the intricate mechanism of the law, aided and abetted by the forensic elo- quence of Attorney John E. Richards, Lee Ah Luey stands to-day convicted of man- slaugbter. Luey is thankful for this, as any client should be under the circum- stances—not that he was convicted of manslaughter, of course, but that he escaped hanging. Luey was charged with the murder of Ong Ah Chung, which occurred shortly after midnight on October 6, 1896. The trial has been 1 progress in Judge Dunne's court for ten days- and was a battle royal. Tne yrosecution was represented by Deputy D strict Attorney Hinkle, M. M. Foote and Judge C. B. Darwin, the de- fense by John E. Richards. Day before yesierday Attorney Foote strove in every way to convince the jury that the defendant was guilty of Chung’s murder. He succeeded, for everybody be- lieved the jury was won over. At about 3 P M., immediately after Foote had finishea, Richards stepped to the fore and began his argument. He began colloguially in a low but distinct voice. It is doubtful if he had ever seen one of those jurors before the | trial began, but he seemed to know them all. It was not long till the astute attor- ney had ganed bhis point—that jury was interested. ‘The monotony was broken and he was free to argzue.” One by one the points made by the prosecuiion were placed under the microscope of logic and dis- sected, and as he proceed the grim looks of determinationon the laces of the jury began to soften and finally to cloud. 1t was plain to see that there were a few points they had overlooked. Les Ah Luey was seen by three Chinese witnesses to shoot dowu the streei; was heard to mention the name of Chung as he did so; was seen to hand his pistol to a comrade, who vanished across the street, and then he was seen to run, throwinga {fully load-d pistol inio a basement nshe did so. But were those witnesses friendly ? It was proved by the attorney that they belonged to a rivai faction, men who would swear a rival’s life away for a song. And why carry two pistols? Never had the police in all their experience known a highbinder to carry two pistols. 8o it went on. As the attorney finished bis argument he rose to a burst of elo- quence that increased the cloud of doubt that vbscured the minds of the jury on the g]osl important points, and the deed was one. Slowly Judge Darwin arose ‘to his feet, and addressing the court stated that there ‘were a few things in Attorney Richards’ argument he had not thought of, and{ would like untii the next day to consider. The court refused to grant more than a ter minutes’ recess. When court again convened, Attorney Richards requested, in behalf of the jury and opposing counsel, that the case be laid over tili the next day. Judge Dunne agreed. Yesterday Judge Darwin argued for an hour and a half, and then the court gave his instructions to the jury. It was the most important criminal case over which Judge Dunne bas yet presided, and he was very careful in his instructions, which were full but fair. The jury on the first ballot stood six for conviction of murder and six for acquittal. After several ballots they at length com- promised on a verdicto! munsiaughter, | the very lowest degree of homicide, and March 27 was fixed as the time for sen- tence. This was a virtual' triumph_for the de- fense, and even the jurymen, in congratu- lating Attorney Richards on his argu- ment, stated that they would have voted for murder in the firsi degree if he had not succeeded in raising such doubts that they could not conscientiously do so. So Luey has good reason to be a thank- ful Chinaman. CELEBRATE THE COMMUNE | The Branches of the Socialist Labor Party Meot in Honor of the Twenty-sixth Anniversary.

John Boyd, a Despondent Ironmolder, Ends His Life With a Bullet. John Boyd, an ironmolder living at 415 Tuird avenue, ended his life early yestor- day morning by sending a bullet through bis heart while lying in bed. Despon- deney was the cause. During the iron- moluers’ strike Boyd was an active mem- ber of the union and was in consequence out of work for a iong time. After he did secure employment he was so unfortunate as to injure his hand and blood-poisoning set in. Every effort was made to save the arm, but to no effect, for amputation was necessary. Since then Boyd'’s boy, now 14 years of age, nas been the sole support of his motber and fatber. This state of affairs caused Boyd to become thoroughly dis- heartened and 1e conmitted snicide.
