Associated Press. Jacksonville, Jan. 23. For the Hrst time since he has been acknowledged the head of the pugilistic fraternity of the world, James J. Corbett defended with success the title which he won by defeating the former champion, John L. Sullivan. Pitted against the boasted exponent of the manly art in England, America's brawny representative lias proved his fitness for the place of honor which his sinews and muscles won for him, and the tail of the British lion has been severely stepped upon. Charles Mitchell is grovelling in the dust of de feat, heaping1 imprecations on his ill luck and mingling with them vain re grets of his Inability to whip his victor. The British pugilist has attended his flstlo funeral, and henceforth will re member with permanent grief the name and place of his first defeat, When he went down for the first time, nfter Btrlving his utmost to win the laurel wreath which had been his aim through life, there were but few among the spectators who grudged him sympa thy, and fewer still who failed to com. mend hlmi for his effort to win. The following Is the fight by rounds: First round Corbett led with his left on Mitchell's chin; they clinch, ex change body blows, and Jim reaches Charley's left eye heavily. Corbett uppercut Mitchell and lands with his right on his ribs, Mitchell reaching Jim's chin. Mitchell gets in on Cor bett's neck, but Jim lands right and left again, just as time is called. Honors easy. Second round Wild exchange and clinch; Corbett upperoHts his man. as they comeJogether. Mitchell lands hard on Corbett's ribs, and as Mitchell came in there was a sharp rally, with Corbett having the best of It. Mitchell got In twice on Corbett's neck, Corbet knocked him down twice In succession, and the gong saved Mitchell. Third rouni Mitchell was rather groggy. Corbett rushed at him, and swung his right and left heavily on Mitchell's neck; Mitchell went down, took full time to rise, and then Cor bett rushed nt him like a tiger. Mitch ell clinched, but Corbett threw him. off, and floored him with a stiff facer. Again he took all the time to rise, and when he advanced towards Corbett, the lat ter swung his right with deadly effect on Mitchell's nose. Mitchell reeled and fell on his face, helpless. The referee counted 1. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 0, 10. Mitch ell was knocked out. The referee then declared Corbett the winner of the match and champion of the world. The fight was all Corbett's, though Mitchell made a show in the first round. Mitchell's face was cov ered with blood. He was carried to his corner in a helpless condition. The time of the fight was nine minutes. The men did not shake hands at the beginning of the fight. The referee called upon them to do so, but neither responded. The seconds were Jim Hall, Pony Moore, Tom Allen, and Steve O'Donnell for Mitchell, with Bat Mas terson, time-keeper. Corbett's seconds were John Donaldson, Billy Delanoy and Jack Dempsoy. William MacMIl lan was timekeeper for Corbett. Ted. Foley was time-keeper for the club. Dave Johnson, of New York, put up $700 for Mitchell against $2000 for Cor-' bett on the result of the fight and there were dozens of wagers that the Englishman would stay in the ring twenty rounds. As Mitchell and Corbett left the grounds they were both arrested, charged with a breach of the peace. Koth gave ball. , ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Bulletins Received in this City Yesterday. The Astorian is indebted to the cour tesy of 8. E. Harris for the following bulletins of the fight, which were re- si vol vpr( ord a v f. !.. i n uuoi iimuoii of the members of the While House Jacksonville, Jan. 25. It In here, but the Indications are that the weather will lie pleasant this It was the intention to fix the battle for an earlier hour, fearing further court proceedings, but as there wan mnrh work to be done on the arena, the a-j Wrnouo uuur rus ueciuetl on. The bet tins at the St James anil -'in(i,,r last, night continued heavy at odds of 1Q0 to forty, on Corbett. jcarcity of Mitchell money at the cloue, immediately upon the rn,-f.ir, f news of Judge Call's decision yes'crdayi ChnrVr Mitchell loft h8 training quar-' tcrs at St. Augustine and camo to this city. He Is quartered at the Everett. Corbett Is believed to bo in town also, but his whereabouts are kept secret. Work on the seats at the arena Is ac tively progressing this mortifcur, and everything will be In readyness at noon. Mitchell appears In the pink of con dition, and there Is a better disposition to back him this morning. Thirty to 100 are the figures quoted by his ad mirlers." Corbett Is still Invisible, and all sorts of rumors are flying around as to the cause of his non-apiearance. The Ocala, rifles remain in town, and the club seems Jubilant over the court vic tory, and offered to admit the militia men to the arena at the reduced price of $10 each for those who may present themselves. Corbett has Just arrived. He came from Maynprt, and was accompanied by Mrs. Colbett, Brady, DeLaney, and Johnny Ward. In answer to an in quiry as to Jim's condition, the cap tain of the New York Club pronounced the champion's condition to be flrst- oipwi, and declared him lit to fight the battle of his life. The party entered carriages In, waiting and were driven to secluded quarters In the vicinity of the arena. The crowd of people are already moving toward the fairgrounds The weather Is showery. AT THE RINGSIDE. 1 p. m. The arena already contains about one thousand sports who have made the Journey from the city to the fair grounds in boats, street cars, car rlages and every other kind of con veyance. Neither of the principals has yet arrived, but the managers do not I entertain the slightest fear of Inter ference. Corbett Is a hot favorite, but the betting has practically been brought to a close. A large force of city police is on hand, but there are no military men In sight, notwithstanding the cut rate offered to the visiting riflemen by the club. The assemblage Is remarkably quiet and erpectant. 1:15 p. m. The platform is of the regular pattern, the inside of the stake? through which the ropes run being heavily padded. On the edge of the pHtform, and at a distance of about three feet from the ring is a strong Wirbed wire fence. Workmen are busy makimr arrangements for lighting the enclosure with gasoline, should the con test bo prolonged. Only about one-half of th eenclosure Is roofed, and unless the rain, which has been falling all morning, ceases, the majority of the spectators will be drenched. 1:30 p. m. One of the spectators with a strong western accent arose In his place and shouted that a gentleman here wanted to bet a herd of 1000 cat tle against $5,000 that Corbett will win Instantly some one shouted from the inoi u suifx 'Buys air) jo pis jair)o cattle!" There was a shout of laugh ter and the first speaker subsided. The erowd Is now pouring In, and the at tendance bids fair to be very large. WAITING FOR THE PRINCIPALS. There are fully 2,000 present. The fighters are expected every moment. A large squad of militiamen can be seep outside the gate, but they are unarmed and their Intentions are evidently not hoslJlc. THE MEN APPEAR. A carriage has Just driven up and the excitement Is at fever heat. Here is Corbett. Tho spectators arose as one man and greeted him with tremendous applause as he stepped on the platform and shook hands with Billy Madden. He Is enveloped In a bath robe, and walk ed around the platform, evidently test Ing Its firmness. Madden announced tho names of the seconds In a very low tone to the newspaper men. 2:15 p. m. Mitchell has Just arrived His reception was almost equal to that extended to Corbett. He smiled as he entered the ring, and eyed his oppo nent curiously. Both men are burnt brown by the southern sun, and look tanned to perfection. Referee Kelly arrives and shook hands with the fight ers. THE SECONDS. ' Mitchell's seconds are Jim Hull, Pony Mn,.r Tr.ni' Allen and Steve O'Don nell. Time-keeper, Bat Masterson. Cor bett's seconds are John Donaldson, mi ly Delaney, Jack Dempsey, and Wm. McMillan.

(Continued on Fourth Page.) , EGl; Debate on the Tariff Bill Resinned by the House. SEVERAL AMENDMENTS LOST Donaldson of the Census Bureau Recommends the Abolition Several Indian Agencies. Associated Press. Washington, Jan. 25. The demoe.utlc opponents of the Income tax, who be lieve the internal revenue bill will be offered ns an amendment to the tariff bill, are determined to make a' fight against It. So when tho house con vened this morning and tho Journal was read, Cochran, of Nt York, made the point that there was no quorum. On the roll call tho democrats who were opposed to the lncomo tax de clined to answer to their names but the quorum appeared nevertheless. The house went Into committee of the whole on the tariff. Wilson moved to close the debate on the amendments rela tive to tho free Icotton, 'machinery. Cochran filibustered but tho motion prevailed. Large numbers of democrats In the house believe that the adoption of the Income tax as part of the tariff bill will result In the defeat of tho entire measure. Terry's amendment placing agricul tural implements on (lie free list was lost, 85 to 105. The house committee on Indian af fairs was addressed today by Thomas Donaldson, special agent of the census bureau, who recommends the abolition of twelve agencies. Among them are the Lapwal, of Idaho; Stletz, of Ore gon; Umatilla, of Oregon; all the agen cies In Washington, viz: Colvllle, Ncnh Bay, ruyallup, Tulalllp, and Yakima. The Indians are nearly civilized, and the duties of agents, Donaldson thinks, could be performed' by Inspectors from the Indian police.; , MORE TESTIMONY. , "' Washington,' Jan. 25. Dr. M. Stalker, of Des Moines, la., was before the sen ate Hawaiian investigation committee today. He was In Honolulu when the revolution occurred. In his testimony he said he considered the revolution unjustified, and was of the opinion that but for the landing of the American troops, it would not have been suc cessful. ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. . How John Henrlckson Left a Mark on a ThlefB Hand. Monday morning betvrcm 2 and 8 o'clock an unsuccessful attempt waf made to burglarize the saloon of Olof and John Henrlckson, on the extension of Chenamus street, near the Elmore cannery. The proprietors had been robbed once before, and they were on the look-out for the thief, who now carries an unpleasant reminder offMjj, consequences of his cupidity. Aboui the hour named, Jnhn Henrlckson heard some one Insert a key In the door, but having tho locdi .becured with a "catch," he remained quiet and waited developments. Several key were tried, when the would-be robber kicked In a panel and pushed his arm through in an effort to reach the "catch." This) was the opportunity the proprietor wanted. Standing near the door with a stout poker raised over his Bhoulder, he struck a powerful blow across the intruder's knuckles. The hand was withdrawn and a groan announced that if arrested identifica tion of the burglar would be made pretty certain. The Henrlckson Broth ers then sent a couple of friends up town to learn If anyono called at the ofllces of the physicians for surgical aid, and their shrewdness was reward ed by the discovery that-Dr. M. M. Walker had been called about 3 o'clock by a man who wanted a badly crushed hand repaired. They believe they know the man, and that he is the same party who on a previous occasion robbed their saloon of $10. It Is probable that an arrest will bo made today. THE PREMIUM PLANK. In one respect the glory of the great Columbian exposition is to be eclipsed. Tho widest plank exhibited at Jackson Park was 16 feet, 4 Inches, that at the Midwinter Fair, at Sun Francisco, will be 1G feet, 8 Inches, .thus going the world's fair plank four Inches better. Highest of all in Leavening Tower. J mr iH0UilLi2?? PIT""1 Great plank; but why shouldn't It be? Where else on earth Is there such lim ner to cut plank from as there Is on the Paclflo coast? You would as nat urally look for them to beat the world on timber out there as you would for Chicago to beat It on high buildings, or Boston to bent It orv culture in Its mind. The Sonoma Lumber Company, with mills at Guernevllle, Cal., and office In San Francisco, will show this big plank. Michigan men ought to feel Interested In ltv for, if I am not mistaken, tho Sonoma company Is composed, of West overs who went from Bay City not many years ago. Tho plank will be only seven feet long, and It would be a good question; to ask a class of lumbermen, why It wasn't cut longer? Why not 20 or 30 feet as well? The section of a log from which It was cut was set endwise on tho carriage, and the Immense plank dropped with a band saw. It Is un doubtedly the widest plank ever sawed. Some of the big planks have been hew ed out. TO THE FRINEDS OF SAILORS.

The Orcgontiw , yesterday published the following sensational story, dated San Francisco, January 24th: "For several days tho police have been working on a halr-curllng tale of rob bery told by Clarence W. Dunn, a young fellow who claims to be a pri vate detective and who halls from Los Angeles. A mysterious letter found on a street In Chinatown directed tho police to a dark room 1 in a Chinese gambling den. There they found the young man handcuffed to a, heavy ploco of furniture and helpless, He told his rescuers lie had been drugged In a Chinatown den, robbed of $300 and then Imprisoned where they found him. Dunn was locked up and tho chief of detectives finally succeeded In "sweat ing" from him, a confession that ho had lost $300 at the races and that he then dropped tho letter on tho street, locked himself up, put on tho handcuffs and concocted the wild tale of the robbery to explain the loss of the money. He was to have been, married Saturday night to Miss Dora Pennington, of As toria, Or., and it was to furnish a plausible excuse for the postponement of the wedding that he resorted to the wild Chinatown escapade. Dunn proves to be the man who was responsible for the flight of Mamie Smith, a littlu girl, from, a privata school In Los Angeles, May 18 lust. Ho claimed to be a cousin of the girl, whoso parents live at Alpena, South Dakota. After he had been forbidden to visit her at , the school he inveigled her away and brought her to this city. The girl dis appeared mysteriously and tho case at tracted a great deal of attention. Nothing was heard of her until her death in a hospital about 100 miles from Alpena, S. D., where she 'went ti hide her shame." Inquiry by an ABtorian reporter yes terday developed the fac tthat but one Dora Pennington ever resided In this city, and her name figures in the rec ords of the county Jail, COMMUTED AQAIN.
