-years 8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1897. REHO KOW 1S INTHE SWiM Reaching Out for a Bit of Carson’s Pugilistic Fame. A Committée Is in This City Looking for Fistc ° Talent. Bob Fitzsimmons Will Maks Hors:- shoes or Eat Shrimps Against Any Man. Carson has had its great athletic day and now Reno, an opposition town in Ne- vads, is looking for a little athletic notor- ety. There is at present a small committee of R:no's citizens on a visit to this City un- der charge of J. F. Dennis, who is a prom- tnent attorney of Reno. Mr. Dennis is looking for atheltic talent and incidentally jearning a thing or two about pugilism and how to conduct pugil- istic entertainments. In conversation with a prominent mem- ber of the Olympic Club Mr, Dennis said that Reno has a structure within which any kind of sport can be held and that the residents are determined to be as deep in the swim for sport this summer as are the peovle of any other city in the State of Nevada. The building which Mr. Dennis referred to is the old penitentiary wbich was never completed and which is situated about a mile from the town of Reno. During Governor Bradley's (Old Broadhorn) ad- ministration, and that wasin the seveulies, the appropriation for the completion of the building became exhausted and vothing has been done since that time by the State in tue way of appropriating money o complete the prison. The mas- sive stone walls still stand in place and the promoters of fistic sports are of the opinion that with some few improve- ments the discarded old structure can be converted into a first-class amphitueater where all kinds of sports can be held. The peovle of Reno argue that during the summer months the climate is so fine that many people who will visit the moun- tain_town for the purpose of witnessing a carnival of sport will remsin over for a few weeks to enjoy the beautiful moun- tain scenery and breathe the fresh and crisp air of the high altitnde, Fighting will not be the only sport the Renoites intend to carry off (his summer. Handsome inducements will be offered, it is said, for a meeting of tie champion wrestlers of the worl, d tne styles of wr will be cartch-as-catch-can, Graeco-Roman, Cornish and collar-and- elbow. “Parson” Davies is seemingly very anxious that a champion heavy-weight shall be tound amony the aspirants for high fistic honors, now that Fiizsimmons has announced his ultimatum to retire. ‘The “Parson” has a scheme which he things is just the right thing, and which he say« is bound to bring out a champion. He said yesterday thut all of the fichters— those of them who really want to thir backers should make up a pool, and that each man deposit in_the keeping of some responsible person_the sum of $2500, the winner to take sil, including the yurse. In all probability the names of such famous scrappers as Peter Maher, Joe Choynski, Joe. Goddard, Denver Smith, Jim Cortett and Charley Mitchell may fizure ou the list of entrants for the cham- pionshin race. Bob Fitz<immons, the champion pugi- list, has been turning oui horseshoes for his many friends since his arrival, and it i« hardly necessary to state that the shoes are in greatdemand. The champion said yesterday that al- though he had retirea from the ring he is ready to try bis hand st another game, - and that is making horseshoes. “I had quitea number of contests in Australia_while working at my trade,” said the champion, ““and I always came out best man. Now, if you think tnere is a horseshoer in this country who can beat me turning out fancy shoes just dig him up and I will go him a match for money or marbles. I am just as confident oi winning a herseshoeing match as I was of winning the championsuip contest.” An attentive listener suggested to Fitz that he al<o issue a challenge to shrimp- eaters, and the big fellow smiled as he said: “That goes too. I guess I can whip any fellow at that game aiso. I ate $1 worth of shrimps to-day and I think I'll have another go at them before I go to bed. [ never get tired of eating shrimps, but T don’t like this thing of picking off the crusts.” The champion is seemingly very anx- ions to enter a contest where the making of horseshoes will be the feature. WASHINGTON BEEF TRUST. Cattlemen Force Up the Prics and Butch- ers Are Sending Large Orders to California. TACOMA, Wasm., March 25.—Ten days 8go the cattlemen of Eastern Washington announced that the price of beef woula go up from 3} cents to 4 cents. Thisina raise of 75 per cent on the prices of last fall. The Pacific Meat Company, ‘the largest meat firm here, declined to submit to the combine and sent an order to Montague, Cal., for fifteen carloads of cattle, which arrived to-day in good con- dition, This is the first shipment of Cali- fornia cattle into the State in three years. When the combine of cattlemen was formed Jast fall beef was selling wholesale at 23 cents. T.e combine forced the price un o 34, forcing the retail price of eef n{: considerably. Frve & Bruhn, the other large wholesale meat firm here, had some cattle on hand when the price went up, but us s0on as these are used they will aiso buy California cattle. The Pacific Meut Comvany deciares that it will break the back of the Eastern Washington com- bine, so California cattlemen may look out for some large oraers from the north. e e CLOVEEDALE F. iILY JUBILEE.

Washington’s Governor Vetces a Bill That Never Passed—Minute Clerk Charged With Forgery. OLYMPIA, Wasn., March 25.—In veto- ing the bill for the construction oi a State Capitol last week Governor Rogers alleged as one of his principal reasons that the bill, as amended, failed to receive the votes 6f & constitutional majority of House members, and that at the bottom of the rollcall, suowing the vote, the reading clerk at the time made an entry reading: “The bill has therefore failed to pass.” The dsy after Governor Rogers exam- ined the records pertaining to the bill at the Capitol Speaker of the House Cline and Minute Clerk Pace called and asked 10 see the same records and the quoted entry on the tally sheet. It is cloimed thatin the presence of Chief Clerk Carusi and others they declared the entry to have no business there. Chief Clerk Carusi and Docket Clerk Hubbard made a writ- ten statement to the following effact: “Thereupon Mr. Page took a knife and cut from the official and final tally-sheet entry, ‘The bili has therefore failed to vess.’” Mr. Cline held tue viece while Mr. Page cut it off. What became of it after- ward we do not know.” To-day Clerks Hubbard and Carusi swore 10 complaints before Justice Atk cher ing Page with forgery in mutilatinz the record of the Capitol pill. A warrant bas been 1ssued, and will be served to- morrow. Their statement implicated Speaker Cline as deeply as Page, and he will be requested to return here from his home at New Whatcom. This city is greatly stirred up over the trouble, which results from the bitter local feeling over the Governor’s veto. Friends of the Capitol bill contend that the euntry about the bill not passingis afalse one, and are investigating to as- certain how itcame to be made. Cline and Page favored the biil, while Hub- bard and Carusi support the Governor's veto. There is reason to believe the row over the passage or non-passage of the bill is just be:inning, though the veto cannot be set aside, or the Governor per- suaded that the bill actuaily passed. Sty i NEW MEXICO'S ASSASSINS. The President’s Respi.e of the Borregos Is Criticized—Explanation of Arch- bishop Chappelle. SANTA FE, N. MEx., March 25.—Pres dent McKinley’s respite of the Borrego assassins continues to be the all-absorbing topic here. Friends of the condemned men have in circulation more than a dozen petitions praying for a commuta- tion of the aeath sentence, which will be executed on April 2, unless clemency is granted them. Upholders of law and order are also circulating vrotest further interference with the decisions of the courts. The latter are being numer- ously signed throughout the Territory, Should President McKinley again terfere, 1t is said, an appesl will be made to Congress, and it is not imvrobabfe that a resolution of inquiry will follofw into the authority of the President 10 assume jurisdiction in the premises. Washington dispatches have credited Archbishop Chappelle with having been instrumental in securing the first respite for the condemned men from Mr. Cleve- land, with the result that the Archbishop has been severely criticized in official and church circles throughout tie Territory. The reverend gentleman stated to-day that friends of the prisoners had used his name in their appeals 10 the President in securing the respite. - To-day Dr. Chap- pelie said: “I had absolutely nothing to do with the last respite granted these men. Iwas telegravhed by Mr. Catron and others | from Washington and asked to send a telegram to Attorney-General McKenna urging a ten days’ respite, but I answered I bad done ail I'could in conscience do. My actions in the Borrezo matter ars just this: I asked Gov. Thornton, not in jus- tice, but in mercy, 1o commpte the sen- tence of at least two of _the accessories— Valencia and Alarid. I made the same request of President Cleveland and again of President McKinley. 1 bope you will set me right in tnis matter.”” SAN DIEGO SOCIETY STIRRED. Divorce Suit With Two Highly Raspecied Principals—Friends Working for a Reconciliation. SAN D1EGO, CaL., March 25.—Society in this city is all agog over the suit for divorce filed yesterday by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Couts against ber husband, Cave J. Couts. Both bave been highly respected residents of this county for many years and leaders in society circles. Mr. Couts owns the famous Ranchita mine at Ban- nerand is wealthy. Mrs, Couts recently inherited $50,000 from her father, the late J. W. Clemens. The complaint alleged infidelity and while it named no one as co-respondent it stated that certain in- criminating letters had been found in Mr. Cout's pockets. For weeks past Mrs. Couts has been generally sunpased to be in Si. Louis visiting relatives, but yester- day she was seen in this cily with their only child, a boy of 8 yeurs, of whom both parents are passionately fond and the custody of whom the mother prays for in her complaint. To-day friends of both parties have been trying to bring about a reconciiiation, with some show of success. This is done not only for the parties themselves, but also for the sake of the reputation of u handsome youn: girl of good family in this city who is currentiy reported to have been very indiscreet and to be at the bottom of the irouble. Hence the true friends of all are very desirous of keeping the case out of court. This morning Mr. Couts went to Los Angeles to consult his attorney, and it is pelieved the matter may be settled in a few days. LTl Windstorm at Iacoma.

S MARTIN JULIAN SAYS HE DIDN'T Never Thought San Fran- cisco Was a Jay Town. His Remarks Were Personal, and in No Way General. Fi‘zsimmons’ Maneger Is Wroth, acd Threatens to Make Some Exposures. Martin Julian says he didn't say it. The handsome voung manager of cham- pion of all champions, Bob Fitzsimmons, was in high dudgeon all aay yesterday over the appearance of an article in the monarch of the fakers, in which he was | pictured as emulating Lillian Russell, William H. Crane and other people who have given alieged expert opinions to the effect that Frisco is a “jay’’ town ana that her people are ckers'’ and *‘stiffs.” Martin says there Is not a word of it true. “Why I never saw such a fake before,” he deciared. “l have heard of good ones, and could tell of a few this same paper in- dulged in at Carson, but this last one beats them all hollow. It is simply a petty effort to get back at me because I took occasion yesterday to tell one of the Ex- aminer crew what I thought of himand the whole outfit on that sheet. *‘This chap and others of the staff hon- eyed around me and pretended to be friendly toward Fitzsimmons and my- self. Then they turned around at the first opportunity and attempted to throw me overboard. It was for this I took one of them to task. [ used rather strong language, too. I called him among other things a ‘jay’ a ‘fat-head,’” and also said the paper be represented was a ‘sucker.’ Notonce dur- ing my tirade did I refer disrespectfully oratall to the people of San Krancisco, nordid I say anything about the tow Everything [ gaid was directed to and re- ierred solely to the man I was addressing and ‘o bis employers. “Wi.y should I say anything against the people here? They have aiways treated me kindly and even generously. Sun Francisco is my old home and I love the place. But what did these Examiner peopie do? Instead of taking my roast to themselves they resort to falsenood and trickery and try to make me appear in a unenviable light before the people. It's not right and I propose to resent it. “This is not my first experience with this crowd,” said Julian in conclusion. “] um satisfied that they stood in ou the job by which Fitz and I 'were knocked out of the $10,000 which belonged to us after the fi nt with Sharkey. *1 uave been hoiding something up my sleeve in regard to that proposition, and when I spring it somebody is going to get S S S T burt. I have, among other things, a great work of building a Postoffice for Ban Francisco. The work now under way is in charge of Engineer R. Hunt, aseistant to Engi- neer L. B. Davis, C. E., of the Government Corps, while T. C. Merker is in charge for Collector Wise, custodian of the building. The purpese of the test is to settle the question whether 1t will be necessary to drive piles all over the foundation part of ot the lot as a sub-foundation for the, Federal building, a custom which is usual Whe never there is doubt as to the solidity of the earth upon which edifices of this character are to be constructea. Four pits have bsen dug to a depth of about 20 feet, and into tnese piles are being driven for test purposes. The pi are 70 feet long, and they are being driven into the ground tneir full length. The pile-driver now being used weighs a ton, and the investigation so far shows that there are strong evidences that the ground is irm enou :h for the purposes in View. Two piles were driven down their full length. The first 40 feet proved to be hard work, but through the next 30 feet the great wooden poles went with more ease. If the entire test is as successful as it now seems it will doubtless result in a favorable report by the Government engineers and early work by the Govern- ment. It will require about two weeks to complete ihe work now under way, which is wholly in charee of the Treasury and supplemental to the investigations pre- viously made by Government engineers. During the vrogress of the work yester- day it was noticet that the soil for the first forty or filty feet is very bard, the blows of t! e pile-driver having almost no effect. of the piles was broken dur- ing the 1 showing that the resistance of the soil is very great. Ii the tests con- tinue there is little doubt that the reports will bs favorable and work on the main butiding will soon’ begin. Nan Diego Merchant Fails.

Carver of Chicaro and Henry Keogle of Newark, who shoots under the name of “Henry Zee,” had a good show of tieing Marshall. They killed as many birds, but in each case one fell dead out of bounds.

An easy bird his prey. He picked & harde: one on the second trap, and this also riddled with leud. On the No. 3 trap, while shooting his twenty-fourth round, he had a towering incomer. The first barrel hit the bird ksi?l“" enough, but to make sure of his the ductor sent an- other load after the pigeen. The high wind carriea the dead out of bounds and in its fall it crashed through one of the west windows of the clubhouse. The doctor chagrined, but his friends con- soled h by saying that he still hada chance of winning. Keogle brought down both of his birds in the first and second traps. He went to the third trap, drew a swift incomer and fillea it with sbot. d'rh. bird, however, fell deac out of bounds. !Thil leit only Marshall with straight kiils. His first bird was a left quarterer. One barrel was enough to dispose of it, and the Westerner was the winner of the rand Ameriean handicap.
