It appears that M. Rivanle. had a con-
.raot to play the Mendelssohn concerto
and the "Airs Russe." by Wlenlawskl.
and was to be accompanied on the plane
by M. Lachaume. who refused to play be
cause he was not on the bill , as a solo
ist, and two soloists Mr. Thomas would
not have. The Spanish violinist and Miss
Miller, the manageress of the company,
first had an altercation because M. Rl
varde's nume was not displayed promi
nently enough, and Mr. Thomas was
dragged Into it by defending his mana
geress. M. Rivarde claims that Mr. Thomas
was Insulting and is the worst conductor
he ever worked under, while Mr. Thomas,
on the other hand, finds fault with the
Spaniard because of his obstinacy and
refusal to carry out his part of the pro
gramme. The two have hopelessly
quarreled, and each says that he will
never have any further dealings with
the other.

Say He Will Challenge the Winner of
the Big Fight.
Anderaon, Ind.. Feb. 18.-Champ!on Jim
Corbett waa seen In hia dressing rooms .
at the Grand tonight and Interviewed
concerning the approaching Maher-Fiu-slmmon
fight. He questions very much
and Is Inclined to believe that they can
not fight. He says his sympathies are '
all with Maher, and that It may preju
dice him In thinking that he will win.
He la sure that he will give Fltxsimmona
a run for his money. He received tele
gram from Brady today in which Brady
states that It will be impossible for him
to attend. He thinks both men are even
ly matcheel and In earnest. He ex
presses the utmost contempt for Fita
dmmon. They will have Al Smith at
the ringside, and if the victor geta too
oud with his lip Smith will have Cor
bett money with him. and Cosbett will
abide with what la done. Jim Is looking
in splendid shaie, is feeling in good con
dition and Is tar from being in the con
dition Fltsslmmons friends said he was.
"Leaving prejudices aside, now. be
tween you and me a ho do you think will
win?"
"It la not settled In my mind who will
win. FitSHimmons beat Maher once, and
that would naturally lead one to believe
that h would win again. But, on the
other hand, I think Mamer has Improved
'ince then, but Just how much he has
Improved no one in the world can tell
until after the tight. That I the onlv
thing any one could positively tell, be
cause It 1 three or four years since he
fought."
"Will yuu flRht the winner?"
"1 have been misquoted so much I do
not want to say only to the winner, t
will wait and see him In person and
money talks."
Women not In business cannut get over
a certain awe of telegrams.
