MAY MEET ON" TIME
The Prizefight May Yet Oc
cur Near Hot Springs.
PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE
Information Is Scarce, as Everything Is
Done Quietly, With No Desire
to Attract Attention.
Little Rock, Oct 29. Constable
Allen P. Davis, of Hot Springs, gave
out information today, which leads
those who talked with him to believe
that Corbett and Fitzsimmons will
fight in private not far from Hot
Springs, one day about the latter part
of this week. Last Friday morning
Corbett was supplied with newspapers
containing intimation that he was
about to quit the state in order to avoid
a meeting with Fitzsimmons. After
perusing the papers, it is related that
he fractured the adjacent ozone with
ponderous swipes and vowed he would
stay in Garland county and make
mince meat, metaphorically speaking,
of Julian's man. He at once pitched
into the work of training, just as if he
really was to fight October 31.
The prevailing opinion in Hot
Springs sporting circles is that the
fight will certainly occur at some point
in or near Garland county. Such an
air of mystery surrounds the proceed
ings that it is hard to obtain - 'reliable
information, but that preparations are
being made in a quiet way for a fight
no one doubts. Many Hot Springs peo
ple believe the fight will ' occur at
Whittington Park, the site originally
selected, and that the battle will occur
as originally agreed ' upon. . They ar
gue the decision of the supreme court
affirming the prizefight law leaves tne
matter exactly where it stood before
Corbett was arrested, and that it was
virtually a victory for the fighters.
The fact that the Hot Springs Athletic
Club has engaged a circus tent seems
to indicate, however, that some private
spot has been selected. - -
A close friend of Governor Clarke,
has been shown letters from Hot
Springs which tend to confirm the be
lief that a fight will occur. One of
these letters is said to have come from
Attorney Martin, and stated that prep-
artions were being made for a private
fight. Governor Clarke, in speaking
of this information, is said to have
remarked that he did not care how
much they fought, so long as it was
conducted in private, and without be
ing advertised.-.. , .
This Is Different.
Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 29. Gover
nor Clarke received information today
from Hot Springs which convinced
him beyond a doubt that an effort
would be made to pull off the fight at
Hot Springs on scheduled time. From
what source he received the informa
tion, he declined to state. The gover
nor Btill says he will prevent it. He
cares not whether it takes place pub
licly or privately. He says: "The
men shall not fight on Arkansas soil.
It is believed Fitzsimmons will be ar
rested on arrival in the state and
placed under heavy peace bonds. Gov
ernor Clarke says he has been informed
for several days that an effort will be
made to pull off the fight in private.
which fact will compel him to be ab
sent Arkansas day at the Atlanta expo
sition.
The Lottery Scheme Abandoned.
Chicago, Oct. 29. Indictments
against ex-Governor John L. Bever-
idge, Samuel M. Biddison and Freder
ick D. Arnold, for alleged violation of
the lottery laws of the United States,
have been dismissed by General John
C. Black, United States district attor
ney. The gentlemen were officers of a
life insurance company, a semi-tontlne
feature of which was said to be in the
nature of a lottery. They were sur
prised to learn that they were violating
the federal laws and immediately aban
doned thg feature.

HOLMES TO BE TRIED.
The Prosecution a Profound Secret, but
Sensational Developments Expected.,
Philadelphia; Oct. 29. H. ; H.
Holmes,- or Herman Mudgett, whose
name or alias, has rung throughout the
length and breadth of the continent as
the most unscrupulous and skillful
murderer of modern times,, will be
placed on trial for his life tomorrow in
the court of oyer and terminer, of this
city. The specified charge to which he
will be called upon to answer is the
murder of Benjamin F. Pitzel, and he
has already, officially declared himself
not guilty. The revolting details of
the many crimes with which Holmes'
name has been directly - or indirectly
connected have4een' grVea much pub
licity, ' and . the cold,! implacable de
meanor which has .' characterized the
man throughout has been so frequently
commented upon that the trial will
probably pass into history as the most
celebrated case known to the criminal
annals of the Western hemisphere.
The-' commonwealth has already ex
pended thousands of dollars in its
efforts to bring the' prisoner to sum
mary justice,' and there is an indica
tion that if a conviction of murder in
the first degree be obtained he will be
quickly "railroaded" to the gallows.
Witnesses have been : brought ' to this
city from Boston, Chicago, Indianapo
lis, Irvington, Ind., and almost every
city where Holmes is:. known to have
lived at various times. What revela
tions these witnesses will make has
been kept a profound - secret by the
prosecuting officers, but there is expec
tation of sensational developments. .
RECEIVER MINK TALKS.
What He Thinks of the Various Pacific
Railroad Plans.
San Francisoo, Oct. 29. Oliver W.
Mink, one of the Union Pacific receiv
ers, W. W. Kelly, assistant general so
licitor of the Union Pacific at Omaha,
and general attorney for the same sys
tem for Iowa and Nebraska; Erastus
Young, general auditor, and Zera
Snow, solicitor for the - Union Pacific
at Portland, who are here, held a pro
longed conference in .relation to the
settlement of a dispute between - the
Union Paoifio and the Oregon Railway
& Navigation CompanyOver the settler
ment of certain clainis consequent
upon the appointment of a receiver for
the Oregon Railway"- & Navigation
Company, which was formerly a part
of the Union Pacific system.
The matters, under consideration,
Mr. Mink said, were of a nature simi
lar to those which formed the issue in
the suits recently argued before the cir
cuit courts of appeals in-this' city by
the attorneys for both companies.
When asked for his opinion on the re
cent report of the government directors
of the Union Pacific, Mv Mink said:
"The government's lien on the road,
it should be remembered, is simply a
book account, and is not-represented by
bonds. It is .accordingly worth only
what it would bring in open market.
The plan of the government directors,
I should say, would be a good -way of
determining the value of the govern
ment's lien on the property; but
whether the United States government
is in a position to go into the railroad
business is a question which I am not
prepared to discuss. " - r
A Lighthouse Tender in Danger.
Port Townsend, Oct. 29. Private
news from Victoria received tonight
says the . British lighthouse tender
Quadra, which went ashore on Disoov
ery island, in British waters, Friday,
is in a precarious position, and . if a
gale or heavy sea comes up the vessel is
in imminent danger of proving a total
loss. The owners- telgraphed here to
night for assistance, and the tug Ta
coma left late this evening for the scene
of the wreck. Several British tugs at
high water today made an unsuoessful
attempt to pull the steamer off the
rocks. . -
Spokane Can Have the Shop.
Seattle, Oot 29. "The Northern

fill certain conditions, "'said Receiver
A. F. Burleigh today. "Spokane
knows what those conditions are, and
if they are accepted work will begin
at once on the improvements, if the
Northern Pacific cannot come to an
agreement with Spokane on these con
ditions, then it will erect temporary
shops at Sprague for the winter."
Judge Hanford, of the United states
court, has not yet issued an order for
the contemplated improvements.

TRADE ? REVIEW.
Gold Exports Put Off Good Weather
Helps Retailers. . -
New York, Oot. 28.-rR. G. c Dun &
Co. 's weekly review of trade says;
"Ten days ago-gold exports seemed
very near, but the break in cotton,
which- then begn, : ripened Monday
into a collapse sufficient to justify shope
of a free movement. Hides have ? also
decreased sharply, leather is weaker,
and the adjustment of prices to real in
stead, of imaginary - conditions ,r pro
gresses rapidly. Money . markets cause
remarkably little trouble. Cooler,
weather has generally helped
trade, and, with increased consum
by the millions, the way will be
for better business. Already,
ments through ' the clearing-hoi
closely approach for October those
the best year in history, although,
fleeting in part paat transactions,
new orders are . still' much needed
the great industries. ; " ; 3 r '
Cotton exports improve but litt:
because foreign stocks are so large, aij
the lower prices give more conflden
to mills wmcn reared to purcnase an
manufacture as expected.
"Wheat has risen 8 cents, althoug
Western receipts, which are 7,977, Ort
bushels for the week, against 5,059
800 last year; continue unusually largtl
and Atlantic exports, including flouil

1,857,000 last year, and for the fou
weeks 5,734,572, against 9,195,05

a slack demand from abroad. - Nobod

EXPOSITION IN 1900.
A Proposition to Hold a Centennial at
the Katlonal Capital. -
Washington, Oct. 28. The sugges
tion that a great exposition, marking
the close of the present century, . be
held in Washington inC 1900, is meet
ing much favor. Besides oommemoratv
ing the close oT a -wentury , such an ex
position would mark ttiB jtsarxtennial
anniversary of the founding 'of the seat
of government in the District of Co
lumbia. In June, . 1800, the public
offices were transferred to Washington
and opened on the 15th of that .month.
On November 22, 1800, President John
Adams, in his speech at the opening of
congress, said:
"I congratulate the people of the
United States on. the assembling of
congress at the permanent seat of gov
ernment and I congratulate you, gen
tlemen, on the prospect of a residence
not to be changed. You will consider
it as the capital of a great nation, ad
vancing with unexampled rapidity in
art and commerce, in wealth and in
population and possessing within itself
resources which, if not thrown away
or not lamentably misdirected, will se
cure to it a long course of prosperity
and self-government."
- The house of representatives, in an
swer to the above, said:
"The final establishment of the seat
of national government which has now
taken place, is an event of no small
importance in the political transactions
of the country. A oonsidertaion of
these powers, which have been vested
in congress over the District of Colum
bia, will not escape our attention nor
will we forget that in exercising these
powers, regard must be paid to those
events which will necessarily attend
the capital of America."
A citizen of Washington suggests to
the board of trade that it would be fit
ting, as this is the capital city, that
each state composing the Union should
have a permanent exhibition located
here, showing its resources as to com
meroe transporation, mining, eto.
