rir. Now that he Is compelled to elfUer riht or crawl, he chooses to crawl. I opine that he may persuade Corbetfs it.Ics that he Is on the level and sincere In his action?, he trumps up that he vin now go through this country on the stand he ha taken, xayin;;: 'Weil. I was there, and they would not sive me 'fair play, or -ome other wtld-goo.e ftory. If he falls in this he will go back to Australia or to KnstlanI ani use the, cable to tell us howeager he is to battle with Corltttt. Contrast his present actions with those of Corbett when he was matched with Sullivan, when you cou! 1 not find one man In a thousand who would .-ay that the Californian had a chance. Did Corbett dictate? Never. He did what he was told and was happy to get a chance to fUht the champion. Great record! Great record! Is a fictitious one. He never fought a first-class heavy weight In his life. Fitzsimmons L a veilrw dog1, a cur of the worst description. He is afraid to come to thU city. If he Is ar.xlcu to fiht. let him come here and fay Hf. just b double e. to Corbett. Jim will give him all the fi-ht he wants." The Hot Sprincs hotel owners, the holders of street railway stock, the merchants and the bovs who sell newspaoers on the street are excoriating Robert Fitzsimmons for hlJ refusal to comply with Corbetfs terms. Theie are some threats afloat tonight of riding Martin Julian. Fitzlmmons manager, out of town on a rail. The populace Is up in arm.H and Julian Is clinging close tt the confine of his room to-night. The Impression prevails, in some quarters to-nl-?ht tiiat Fitzsimmons may personally repudiate Julian's actions and fight. The proposition to have Maher t.xke Fitzsimmons s corner against Corbett and to replace Maher with Choynskl againt O'Donnell is also said to be lo&inir weixht. Aside from this the club declares Its hands washed of the whole matter. There is some talk of savins a vcstlsre of th contemplated -carnival by getting Van McI.eod and Krnest Iioeber together !n a mixed style wrrstling match, with a remote chance of pullintr off the Maher-O'Donnell and Ryan-Smith limits as side shows. There wa3 a meeting cf. citizens to-night, at which some very unpleasant thlngrs were raid about Governor Clarke and pugilist FItzsimmons. No resolutions were pa?sed. President StnnrC .Statement. HOT SPRINGS, Ark.. Oct. 21. President Ctuurt to-night gave out the following ttatement: "At tne outset it must be conceded that I waa right. 1 do not think there la any qursuon aji to tnat proposition wntn it id lasen into consiaeratiou tnat 1 have mainlaintd Horn tne Hiari; tnat l was rint.

Livery inducement Is made me to bring off the contest here. I did not knov where the ftl.MX) were coming from, but did know that, as in Texas, tnere was r.o law prohibiting the contemplated baitie here. Again, when It came to an Issue, witness me finding of Chancellor Leatherman. I am told that there is nothing 1"letjal In what is projected. Were I othef than sound 'in my bcltef that the Chancellor would be sustained by the Supreme Court 1 would never have made the offer to defer the contest and personally obligate myself to see that the full Jll.0Cr would be jald over to the winner of the contest. I did know, however, that there was a great deal of doubt as to my ability to reinstill confidence Into the fight-going public by the time . originally agreed upon. I asked for a. postponement of eleven days. Mr. Corbett was willing. Mr. FItzsimmons was not. To my offer to add a purse of JIO.COO oa the heel of Fitzsimmons proposition to meet Corbett in private on Oct. 31, Mr. Julian, acting for FItzsimmons.- demurred. He would have the contest take place on Oct. SI or not at all. I am not a selfopinionated man. but I contended that if it were worth Mr. FltzsImmon's while to fizht on Oct. .11 for the possible chance of winning LO.OO. It were infinitely better that he wait eleven days and swell his possible winnings to JTd.POo. In all equity and fairness and In view ot the fact that I was' entitled to some concessions, even though Rt a personal'lo. I thought that Messrs. Julian and Fitzsimmons should agree to defer the meeting for the period stated. To-dav I stand ready to make rock! any proposition I havo ever made. Originally the men signed to meet anywhere the. Florida Athletic Club named after the first day of July.. With this latitude, which embraces pretty well every' point of the compass, .why, then. I submit, do they not frree on a postponement of eleven short davs? "Ves, my offer Is now ptnranentlv withdrawn. I am unwilling to relieve that anv f-tr proposition ill meet the approval of Fitzsimmons. I have r.o particular liking for th present chamnion, ret 1 must accord M:r that which is hi due. He saw tb plight In which the Florida Athletic Club was placed, and appeared villing to accomo.olate himself to circumstances. Mr. Fitzimmor. may or may not tc able to comprehend the situation, and his personal actions I would not attempt to criticize. As to th ninr.or that the Florida Athletic Club un I Corbett were. In collusion In tanslln? up the contest, that Is as senl-ss as It is uniru. I am now spakinjr to a nvin whom 1 know s.w Corbett to-day. I have not hen watching- the training: of th Callforrian. Mr. llradr tells me Ms man was at work to-day. This is verMM by uncontroVfrtei! fact that Corbett looks better to-day than he ever looked In his life: that he has worked hl:n?elf down to a state of physical fitness he never lie fore enjaved In any contt. I know that he is re.idv to carry out the terms of his contra t with me. That Is all that I. or. for that matter, the world can expect. Never was there a more vacuous ?;v!--Insane story stated afloat from any cuarter. Collusion! There Is onlv one way en cirth tn make money, jmd that is oil t!-e level.

He is not in Cor-' belt's claws as a pugil!t or a man. and his every PcMon !n this whole matter has proved It. He Is a very brav man when pitted against undersized midtlleweiht.H or yond-class heavyweights, but when It came time to face the champion h bos weakened Just as I thought he would. He now proposes to commence a tour of the country, trying. I suppose, by lying and misrepresentation, to entice a few people Into seinc blm. telling how he would llKe to rneet Corbett o any one ec. Ilut he will talk always et a safe distance and take it all back when brought face to face . TsMth any of his statements. He has made the worst crawl rm record, but he would rather do thi than got the good heating he knows he -ould have received if he had mustered up enough courage to meet Corbett In the ring. Corbett will pay no more attention to Fitzsimmons or his bluffs, and xrill probably retire from the ring." AT Ulli: CAPITAL.

Cceimd Round f the Leual Fight It? gnu ml Little Hock. L1TTLK ROCK. Ark., Oct. 21. The scene cf combat I t ween the legal heavyweight tras transferred from Hot springs to Little Hoc it this morning. The ring was pitched in the Supreme Court chambers and very 1U'1 time wa! consumed by preliminary treuts. Attorney-general KInsworthy hal Ju.!a Hemingway In his corner to as!t the Ct-te. vehlle attorney Martin was assisted :y Cel. G?orge Y. Murphy, one of the ablest t ri lawyer In the Houth.

hearing of the case on Its merits. Attorney Martin sparred for time and the hearing of this motion was thereupon adjourned until M o'clook to-morrow. When Informed of the Fitzsimmons fluke Governor Clarke said that it made na difference, that he Intended there shoulJ.be no carnival at all. Should the restraining order be granted the case will probably not come up for a hearing on its merits until some time next spring, relieving the Governor of further responsibility. In the event that the order be refused Governor Clarke Intimated that he might convene the Legislature to pass a felony act. Chancellor Leatherman, of Hot Springs, came to Little Rack to-dav in company

with Attorney-general KInsworthy and Hon. ' W. H. Martin and Col. Georg? Murphy at--orncys for the club. Julgc Leathern-an declined to be interviewed concerning his d?c!lon In the habeas corpus case. He aid I the petition for a writ of habeas corpus had r?pn flfiermintu Leiore mm ana an appear praye J for to the Supreme Court. The parties desiring an Immediate hearing from the Supreme Court, Juige Leatherman came aver to ail in getting the bill of exceptions and record up, so that a speedy hearing might be facilitated. He expressed a deSire that the court at once take up the case and correct his ruling If he had made any error. When pres-aed for a statement regardinghis decision, he said that the law ought to determine the matter regardless of sentiment. Governor Clarke was informed at a late hour to-night by a reporter that the carnival at -Hot .Springs had been called off. "I'm glad of It," said he, and would eay no more. . John I. Snlllvan'N Vletr. NEW YORK. Oct. 21. At the Empire Athletic Club at Maspeth. L. L, the sports discussed the Corbett-Fitzslmmons situation at length. There Fitzsimmons had more friends, but the prevailing opinion neemed to be that the Australian was to blame. "I think it looks rather bad for Fltz," said John L. Sullivan, "although I really know nothing about the Inside. Still. If the two men meant to fight they could have come to an agTeemenL There should be no quibbling if everything Is on the level, and this makes it look bad for FitZ." ( 31 ADD EX OUTCLASSED. Harry Repeatedly Knocked 111m Down nnd Wa Awarded the Flirht. MASPETH, N. Y., Oct. 21. Jimmy Barry completely outclassed, Jack Madden in their bout in the Empire Athletic Club arena, arJ. was awarded the decision in the fourth round, although the fight was to have been twenty rounds. The Chicago lad, holder of the bantam weight championship of America, was the favorite in tho betting, although Maiden's Brooklyn friends had lots of faith In the little amateur, and backed him at long odds. The officials of the evening were Tim Hurst, referee, and Frank Freeman, timekeeper.1 There was a preliminary affair, a tenmuni bout, at catch weights, between Jimmy Handler and Harry Fisher. Handler was knocked down twice, but Fisher's strength savei him once from a knockout, and tho decision was a draw. John L. Sullivan entered during thl3 affair, and was given a great reception. Barry entered the ring at 9:33 with his seconds, Tom O'Rourke. Prof. De Forest and. Casper Leon. Madden followed, attended by Jack Barry, John McTieman, Dick Howell and George Insley. Both lads looked in excellent condition, and each scaled under the required weight of 105 pounds. After a good deal of sparring Barry landed h!s right on the body and rushed Madden to the ropes, wrhere they clinched. They exchanged lefts, both ducking prettily. In the second round Barry landed left twice on the head and right on the body. He sent a right to the Jaw and Madlen reeled to the floor in his own corner. Th? "Kid" got up, only to be floored four times In succession, 'rising just in time to ave himself. He cilnched weakly the last time, and again Barrv shot his right to Madden's Jaw. lifting the Brooklynlte fairly off his feet and making his mouth look like a large gumboil. Madden came up fairly fresh In the third round, but anxious. Rarry was cool and confident, and began rushing. Madden clinched, but was straightened1 up with the left and cross-countered with that awful right. Madden wrestled, and in a breakaway landed one good punch in the neck. Barry mlrsed two right-hand swings for the Jaw. In the fourth round Barry pent a straight right to the wind, and Madden clinched very low. Three times went the Chicago boy's right to the Jaw, sending Madden three trips to the floor. The Kid" crawled back to the center, only to be sent to the floor again. He plainly had no chance, against the champion in his class, and t. referee Hurst stopped the bout after one minute and twenty-three seconds of the round had bet-n fought, saving Madden from certain defeat ani terrible punishment. Madden never had a chance, being- outclassed in skill, generalship and strength. This last, point was a surprise to his friends, who expe'ed the Urooklynlte's strength would make up for his lack of science, LmIc Dented tr Daly. LONDON, Oct. 21. At the National Sporting Club, to-night, in a ten-round contest, the American, Pat Duly, bested the London fighter, Arthur Lock. TRAGEDY IX TEXAS.

LAIMiE SALES OF COTTON. Panic on tho Xetv York Exchange and Hlg Drop In Ir !. NEW YORK, Oct. :i.-The sales of cotton to-day reached the unheard total of 810.7C0 bales. The largest sales ever beforo recorded Were made last week when, on Wednesday, the total reached 3fi0,200 bales. This is another way of faying that the cotton maiket at this point has been in a condition of unparalleled excitement and confusion. The pcndulatlons In prices have been most violent as a result of a conlllci between certain operators to arrest the decline on the one hand and the tremendousoutride pressure of the large class of widely scattered holders known as the "outride public." The latter have been fanlo stricken and orders to sell without Inilt fell on a market which seemed to have no bottom. At the outset .there was a decline of Tifi32 points: by noon the decline was increased to 32ft IS points, and at the weakest intervals the decline was .i.7Wftt points: the close was easy at a net decline of wtiiS point.

Fire 1tnjf That Burned Aiders Spirited Atvny to 'r Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21. The lire in Algiers yesterday destroyed 18) house. an 3 yhanties occupied by' about one thousand people. Most of the occupants saved a portion of their personal "effects and furniture. The buildings on the ten squares burned and the real estate on which they stood were as ?es?ed at $195,105. ' The prevailing opinion In Algiers is that the fire was the woik of an Incendiary and the man who Is suspected of being tne cause of all the destitution which now prevails in that once thriving Hale town had a narrow escape from being lynched. He was spirited away from the temporary police station and brought to the city by Captain Day, who locked him up in the harbor precinct station, and then he was taken to the central station, where h !s now safely housed with the charge of athon pending against him. The fire started in the structure known all over Algiers as the "OU Rookery,''. ft rattletrap of a buildIns which has always been regarded as a menace to the other, structures around. It was occupied by a score of families, mostly Italian, who huddled together In the true tenement style. Paul Bouflla was on of these, and he occupied the lower part of the Luildlng next to the corner. He Kept a fruit stand and had a wife and about six children to support. He was a man who was heartily disliked by 'the other Italians li the neighborhood, and all over the city In fact, and enjoyed a. very bad reputation. Panic In n Hotel. CHICAGO. Oct. 21.

"Fire!" the people rushed out and down the tair. most or them without any clothing. Three wouen were overcome by smoke and were found in an upper hall by tlremen. Their condition Is not erious.

THE THEATER OF SIN

MRS. CIIAXT TKLLS THK STORY OF lir.R LONDON cut sadi:. ! Evils Wrought by the Empire .Music Hall, and Its Famous Promrnnde,t Recently Re-LIeensed. Mrs. Ormiston Chant. The evolution of public amusement is a subject to which comparatively little scientific thought has been given, and it should be the-aim of all who have the happy development of the human character at heart to help spread what knowledge has been gathered together on a matter of worldwide importance. The limits of this article. which Is intended simply as a sketch of one or two details connected with the recent crusade against demoralizing amusements in London, do not admit of any scientific treatment of the subject, but it Is hoped it may be the means of turning the attention of wise people in the direction, on the one hand, of a deeper sympathy with the tastes and recreations of other people, and on the other may kindle a greater enthusiasm in the cause of the elevation of the community during its hours of play as. well as during those of work and worship. When Maeready, the great English a:tor, determined on raising the character and quality of the plays enacted In his theater. It was because he combined genius with practical common sense. lie knew that if a stood play is to succeed it must be witnessed by . an appreciative audience, and that the tastes of the latter must not be lower than the tone, of the play. lie also knew that while Intoxicating liquor is brought round to the sitters, drunkenness and rowdyism are more or less inevitable. He- had discovered by painful experience that the disreputable part of the community will, if it gets a chance, so exploit places of public amusement aa to turn them Into markets of vice, thus keeping away respectable folk and besmirching both stage and auditorium with the foulest stain that can rest upon them. Macready banished drink from the. auditorium and the "promenade" from his theater, and in consequence the Globe became popular in the better sense of the word, and also, for the first time in its career, financially successful. This was between sixty and seventy years ago. when Shakspeare had been forgotten except by a few, and art, literature and religion were alike at a very low level in Knsland. UN DREAM E D-OF R ESULTS. , Since then there has been marvelous progress made along these three great lines, and even Macready himself could hnrd'.y have dreamed of such vlslors .of splendor and beauty as ate connected with the names of Irving and the Lyceum, or of the service rendered to humanity by such a beautiful play as 'Cheer, Boys. Cheer!" now being acted at Drury Lane, or its predecessor. "The Sporting' Duchess." .Nor had he the materials out of which the sweet, honest comeJles, such as "Our B3ys." at the Vaudeville, or "The Rose of KlllarnesV toull be evolved. Manners, custom, standards of taste and culture have all made great progress during the last half century, and the age ewes great gratitude to those who have perceived the right thing to do and to have done it. But in public amusement, as in everything else, the price of progress is perpetual vigilance, and constant watchfulness Is needod lest greed and sensuality shouli regain their supremacy over a kingdom once almost wholly enslaved by them. For the six years that London has had the advantage of being governed in part by the County Council there haa been a steady effort to bring the music halls up to the standard of public decency and morality by forbidding the sale of intoxicating drinks In the auditorium and by abolishing "promenades." The policy has beea amply vindicated by the results Jf such vindication were necessary), but, alas for London, there were so many other furiously burning questions to the fore at the County Council election last March that many of the stanch supporters of the lr.uslc-hall reform were defeated on quite other grounds. The protest made so successfully by a few stout-hearted men and women against one very notorious music hall last year was a mere Incident in the history of a righteous municipal policy, and If by the time thjse words appear in print it shall have transpired that the new County Council shall have gone back or the policy of their predecessors disregarded the cause of that protest, and reversed the result of It well so much the worse for the reputation of the present Council. o much ; the wcrse for London in her efforta to paree herself of her tmcleanllness, and so much the greater need for arousing public conscience to realize that if a pood policy is to be pursued by any ofltcial body good people must be elected to office. The Empire" Theater of Varieties. London, is a music hall not a theater and as such is not licensed for fctage plays, but for music and dancing. It is not a place of resort for poor people, tts locality, entertainments and prices of admission precluding that. Nor was its notorious "promenade" for the accommodation of the vices of pocr men and women, the unhappy temptress from the pavement and the street walker being rigorously excluded by order cf the management. It will therefore be easily understood how hollow and dishonest was the appeal to sentiment raised by Interested people when the men and women who opposed the license of the Empire were described as hard-hearted, cruel bigots, who were bent on persecuting the poverty-stricken, fallen woman . and driving her out of the warm shelter of the Empire into the pitiless loneliness of raindrenched streets. WHEN HELP COUNTS. It Is not enough to pity and succor tho ruined girl and hold her back from tho suicide's grave when disease has spoiled her frame and misery broken her heart. We must prevent her ruin, not merely try to modify it. It is against the law for any licensed place to be a resort for prostitutes and other bad characters. Public houses are closed when this Is brouRht home to them if the licensing authorities do their duty. Why is a music hall to be exempted from the operation of the law? Why Is the' London County Council to be a'.Iowed to break the law and license a disgraceful state of things at the bidding of greedy shareholders, who apparently have no scruples as to how their dividends are made? It is a dreadful trophy that the larecst and richest city in the world produces at the end of. the nineteenth century in the shape of a "Jane Cakebread, who for the 273th time has been hauled up before the magistrates for being drunk and disorderly, and if. thanks to the generosity an tenderness of Lady Henry Somerset, the wretched woman is to be safely sheltered fcr the rest of her days, what of thousands of others, whose degradation is &s deep, but who do not come into, public notice? What of L , who was barely seventef n when they let her down into perdition via the. "Promenade." .hot suppers and tilted profligates; until, beinp In dreadful difficulties, owing to her landlady's extortions and her own extiavagance, she stole her ccmpanlon's bank notes ajid.got six months hard labor, came out of prison and took to drinking, prostitution and stealing by H'rns? When she died she left - the writer one sole, humble legacy in token of undying gratitude. It was a poor, little hunglingly made kettle holder, worked by her own tiny ringers when she was only seven years old and her father was minister of a little village chapel. What al?o of P , who was the smartest, loveliest little toy. or human doll if you will, that ever etepped gayly down the freat staircase of the "Promenade" into Leicester Square, and passed from her "gay" life through the ifrlm wards of a lock hosnital into the streets, the prison, the public workhoure and the Tnarj, whote foul black mud. filling her once Innocent mouth, was not blacker nor foukr than the life into wh'ch she had been thrust by a bad mother, herself a "prowler" of the "Promenade," and afterward the streets? London Is not going back into the Dark Ages at the bidding of a few interested newspapers and money-lenders, and though the former may have done their utmost to disparage, ridicule and vllllfy the men and women who spoke for the moial as well as physical cleanness of the great city, the sympathy and approval of the country at large Is with the cruade-s. When the ca'.I to be up and duTnir com?n again those who responded to that call in the past will respond to it with still hlghtr enthusiasm In the future.

But the fact is - that 'those who have seen the. beginning of early 'Western life look upon these representations aa a tame comparison with the realities. That the methods adopted were in a measure successful Is evidenced by the manner in which reckless disregard for the lives, not to. speak of the rights, of others was brought Into subjection by the law-lnpir-Inff influence of men who were so terribly In earnest that, they left no chance of their purpose belnr misundersto&L .

"One man's career has been exceedingly Interesting. to me. He was one of the leaders In a small town vhlch had the reputation of being the most lawless in the West.
