A PUGILISTIC CARNIVAL.

The Olympic Club, of New Orleans, having served .notice on James J. Corbett. the pugilist, .that unless he accepts the challenge of Fitzsimmons. to fight, next February, at New Orleans, they would dcclarc Fitzsimmons the champion of the world, has brought out a statement from Corbett in which JL\e says that because ol his engagements he can not fight in February, and would not if he could, as the challenge is a scheme of the club to attract a crowd for the Mardi Gras festivities. Corbett gives cut a sweeping challenge to every pugilist in the world to "stand up and be knocked down,'' for a week, and olTers to put ,up 10.(too for each contest, the fights to take place at New Orleans next July. In (junclusion Corbett says:

I mean this, and this w-ill be the lat timel will train 1or a pugilistic contest. Now, you would-be cuaui jion. Robert Fitzsinuuons. Peter Jackson, Ed smith or Peter N1 aher. here is vour chance. I will take Fitzsimmons Monday, and after him. first come tirst served. I will lighf for the club offering the largest purse. bar no one this goes for all. The soreheads will .say that this is a bluff, but my money talks, and let some of them covei it, if they dare. Now, if New Orleans wants a lighting carnival and desires to settle who"is the heavy-weight champion of the world, this is its opportunity. I hope to convince the public during the week arranged by the club that I am what I claim to be—the champion heavyweight of the world.

CHAIRMAN WILSON ABROAD.

Iined

by the London Chamber uf Com merce.

Congressman W. L. Wilson, author of the "Wilson bill," now traveling in England, was entertained by the London Chamber of Commerce, Thursday evening. About seventy guests were present, including J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture, and his two sons, Paul and Joy Morton: Congressman Isidore Straus, of New York Sir Courtney E. Boyle. Permanent Secretary of the Board of Trade, and a number of leading men in trade and commerce, Mr. Wilson, rising to respond to a toast, after acknowledging the honor conferred upon him, said:

All the people saw that our tariff system was generating a breed of monopolists So powerful as to defy the law, and which used part of the wealth they drew from sharing in the power of taxation to increase their privileges, debauch elections and corrupt legislation. I am quite sure that our protective policy has already served to promote the trade ot other nations, and if continued it would still further promote such trade, and pre-emi-nently your own. So,standing before you a representative of those who are striving for a freer commercial policy for the United States, I fear I cannot ask you to rejoice at its adoption, except as you may prefer right principles to selfish advantages. Protection has seen our voluntary withdrawal from tne seas and from the neutral markets. Our protectionists have been building defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us in our home market. The tariff reformers are breaking down these defenses. Let us compete in all tin markets of the world. Not only is our production of cotton and food products growing more rapidly than our consumption, but we have to-day a manufacturing plant which, urged to its full capacity, can. in six months fully meet our demands for a year.

After referring to the growth of American trade returns "'even under protection,v Mr, Wilson predicted that "now. when released from such vicious laws, there will be a new era and a revival of a steady increase in our exports, both of food products and manufactured articles. The nations of the world are drawing into nearer and more neighborly intercourse, and the manufacturing supremacy of the world musteventually pass to that nation which, having the largest supply, shall apply it to the highest intelligence and enterprise. Wftare constantly confirmed in the belief," continued Mr. Wilson, "that our supply of materials is more exhaustless and more cheaply handled than that of any other people, and if we continue to bo underlings it is our own fault."

Secretary Morton also addressed the assemblage and indorsed the sentiments expressed by Mr. Wilson.

"JACK THE WHIPPER."

''Tack the Whipper" has broken loose at Chicago and is making life full of terror to the female bicyclists who ride in Washington Park during the evening.

His plan has been to wait behind a tree until a bicyclist in bloomers coincs along, then he springs out and plies the rawhide vigorously. He has severely whipped two young women and pursued several others. The park policeman have so far been unable to ^at.ch hirn.
