IIIS JICASOXS I'OIt IXTERDICTIXG THE PHOPOSKD FIGHT. Ohio Statntes Do ot Permit the DrlnfflnK of Xotcd Pugilists Into the State for 31 ill i. MERE ATHLETIC EXHIBITIONS AHE PROVIDED FOR, AM) .OT COXTESTS SUCH AS PROPOSED. Fighters and Promoters In Cincinnati at Sea and Waiting on a Rating by the Court. COLUMBUS. O.. Feb. 2.-Governor Nash tcday made the first public statement of his position with regard to the proposed Jeffries-Ruhlln fight at Cincinnati and thq grounds upon which his determination to prevent the fight taking place in Ohio is based. The statement id contained In a letter prepared and mailed this afternoon in reply to a petition from the John O. Roth Packing Company and 1,000 other citizens of Cincinnati protesting against interference with the fight. Governor Nash says in his letter that he fears the petitioners have been misled by erroneous legal advice. He quotes the law relating to prize fighting and boxing contests and ys: "The proviso upon which you rely reads as follows: 'Provided, that nothing in the loregolng shall" apply to any public gymnasium, or athletic club, or any of the exercises therein. If written permission for the specific purpose shall first have been obtained from the sheriff of the county, or if the exercise or exhibition are held within the limits of a municipal corporation by tho mayor of such" corporation.' In my opinion the proviso only covers exercises among the members of the club and exhibitions in vhlch members only tako part. Even if my interpretation is too strict, t does not authorize the bringing together of r.oted prize fighters and the offering of'a large prize to the one who prevails over the other. "Again, the Saengerfest Association Company, of Cincinnati, O., and the exhibition which it proposes to give, is not such an association and not such a contest as is contemplated by Section 6&9Ü. As I understand, the contest between Jeffries and Kuhlln was arranged for by a lawyer by tho name of Witte before the association even had a legal existence. It has no gymnasium or hall for athletic purposes, no distinct membership, and none of the paraphernalia of an athletic club. It was organized simply for the purpose of dodging the law and bringing off a contest between two great fighters. The law cannot and will not be trifled with in this manner. I earnestly ask you to look at the law as I have explained it, and I think you will conclude with me that you have been misled. As I have already said to you In a tleernm I rtm firmlv rnnvlnreil that Whls affair, if it comes off, will be a prize fight." Stating his reasons for believing that the alleged glove contest is to be a prize fight the Governor refers to. the moving picture contract which states that the profits to be derved from these pctures shall be divided equally between the association and the fighter or fighters. Continuing, he says: "The winner of the contest is offered a larger prize by thousands of dollars than the loser. This will causa them to strike not only sklllul, but hard olows. You say that your mayor and that your splendid police force will be on hand and see that the law is not violated. You express confidence in the Integrity and ability of the mayor, of the police commissioners and of your policemen. In this feeling I fully share. Rut I am confident that the affair will be beyond their control, If they do their best. The fighters will be very earnest. The immense mumtude of people, gathered from distant States and cities, some of them, at least, not possessing the highest order of citizenship will be terribly excited. Such men would brook no Interference, they will have no control over themselves, your police will be overpowered and your city will be visited with disgrace, which you will regret as long as you live. Such fearful risks must not be taken." AT SEA IX CI X CI XX ATI. Gossip About the Governor's Action and the Conrt Case. CINCINNATI, Feb. 3. There has been more anxiety than training at the quarters of Jeffries, Ruhlin. Martin and Childs today. It is their custom to do less work on Sundays than on other days, and this gave an opportunity to-day for animated discussions among the pugilists, their trainers, managers and others over the action of Governor Nash. It. is now known to all the promoters of the fight that Governor Nash has not only given his ultimatum to the Sangerfest Athletic Club and over 1,000 petitioners from the business circles of Cincinnati, but he has also given instructions to Prosecuting Attorney Iloffheimer and Sheriff Taylor. The latter received a Ions letter from the Governor after midnight, by immediate delivery messenger, and it is a very strong document In which his Excellency directs Sheriff Taylor to swear in any number of deputies and exercise his fullest power to prevent the figfit, and In the event of the sheriff needing assistance. Governor Nash pledges the full power of the State. The prosecuting attorney and the sheriff state that they will not reply to the Governor until to-morrow, and that they will then advise him that they will do their duty and keep in communication with him for any assistance that may be needed. The official communications of Governor Nash yesterday were limited to county officers. If he had any communication with the municipal officers of Cincinnati, it has been kept from the public. The four police commissioners of Cincinnati are appointed by the Governor and not by the mayor, and it is conceded that the wishes of the Governor would be followed by this commission in orders to the entire police force. At the same time, the relations between Governor Nash and Mayor Flelschmann are most friendly, and lt is generally conceded that when the latter kept his promise in issuing a permit for the light, he did all that he intended to do in connection with the event of Feb. 15. While there have been informal conferences to-day between members of the Saengerfest Athletic Association and their attorneys and other promoters of the tight, I: is announced that there will be no formal meeting of the Saengerfest athletic directors and their counselors until tomorrow afternoon. It is generally believed that it will 'then be decided to take no action in the case until the application for an injunction is heard on Tuesday. At that time lt Is understood that Governor Nash will be represented here by Attorney General Sheets and that both sides will abide by tho decision without further appeal to the Circuit or the Supreme Court. Judge Hollister may reserve his decision for a day or two so that the Saengerfest athletic directors are not likely to make any official declaration about declaring the fight off or to the contrary until the middle or tho latter part of the week. The hearing of Jeffries and Ruhlin. who were arrested a week ago on the charge of training for a prize fight, has been postponed for one week on account of the injunction case before Judge Hollister. All the other litigation has also been postponed and none of it will ever be heard of if Judge Hollister grants a permanent injunction. In ine event of Judge Hollister refusing the application for an injunction it is understood that Attorney General Sheets for the Governor will cooperate with Prosecuting Attorney Iloffheimer to have the pugilistic contestants arraigned before some Common Pleas Court Instead of Squire Röchling or any other local magistrate. At the meeting of the Sangerfest Athletic Club directors and others, to-morrow afternoon, thi onlnlon nf thlr nttornev nn the letters of Governor Nash to Prosecutor

Hoffhclmer, Sheriff Taylor, the athletic club and the John C. Itoth Packing Company and other petitioners will be presented. All of these documents have been informally considered by the promoters and their attorneys to-day, with the exception of the last letter that the Governor mailed to the John C. Itoth Packing Company and other petitioners to-day, and which will be received to-morrow in time for consideration beSore the afternoon meeting. This last letter from the Governor to the Roth Packing company will be turned over to the Sangerfest directors at the same time that the other communications from the Governor to the petitioners are turned over. There are ome who believe that when the full text of the letter that Is expected tomorrow Is fully considered, there may be final action taken at once by the Saengerfest Club without waiting for the hearing on the application for an injunction. The managers of the event, however, insist that here will be no final action taken until the decision of Judge Hollister Is announced. Jeffries and the party at his training quarters came into the city this evening and talked matters over with the promoters. Later the champion and his party attended the theater. Ruhlin and his associates remained at the Country Club, which is quite a distance from the city. They had more visitors to-day than usual, and there was much agitation over the course of the Governor. Jeffries, Ruhlin, Martin and Childs will continue their practice work to-morrow the same as usual and keep it up until some official declaration is made by the Saengerfest directors. Crusade Against Pugilism. FITTSRURG, Pa., Feb. 3. Prof. Willi Brown, of Chicago, chairman of the Federation of Young People's Societies of America, who came here recently to conduct an anti-cigarette crusade, has taken up tho cudgel against prize fighting. He has made information and warrants will be served to-morrow on all tho principals and their assistants who took part in the Kcnnedy-Kenney fight at Mlllvalo last night. The informations are made under the act of 1SC7, which makes the spectators equally liable with the principals, and Prof. Brown accordingly has included a long list of spectators in his information. No names will be given out until tho warrants are fcrved, but it 13 said that a number of prominent people are included in the round-t-p. . WILL START NEXT JUNE

EVELYN nALMWIX DISCUSSES IIIS ARCTIC EXPEDITION. lie Ilns Secured Two VenseU mid All the Don Required The Frnnx Joseph Honte to lie Followed. NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Evelyn Baldwin", the arctic explorer, who next summer is to head the Baldwln-Zlegler oxpedltion to the north pole, returned to-day on the steamship New York. Mr. Baldwin has been abroad since Dec. 1 securing vessels and equipment. He said: "I shall remain here for several weeks and then I expect to go abroad again. As to many of the details of the expedition I cannot speak at present. I have succeeded in purchasing the Esquimaux, the largest whaling vessel I could find. She is admirably 'itted for our work, having been built for just such work. I have renamed her the America. The America is barkentlne rigged, with her machinery aft so that stem can have play in the ice. In addition to this her screw is in a well, so that lt tan be lifted when the ice interferes. In addition to this vessel I have chartered the Fritjof, which was used last year by the Swedish expedition. Tho Fritjof will accompany the America with supplies and equipments. She will leave Tromsoe, Norway, June 23, with a party of scientists and sportsmen. She will go to Franz Jo--itphland, returning to the same port on Sept. 1. "The America is two and a half feet thick and is built of green heart, a hard tropical wood. I have my own plan for reaching the pole and I am confident of success. I never had a talk with Captain Joseph C. Bernler, the' explorer, who, according to a cable dispatch, said he had warned me that my plain would result in failure. I shall go over the Franz Josef rcute, probably starting early In June. We shall proceed north. We have not limited the time to one year. I cannot tell the personnel of the expedition, but while many, of the crew will not be Americans, most of those comprising my party will be from this country." As to the report that he had cornered the Arctic dog market Mr. Baldwin said: "I got all the sled-dogs I need and that Is all there is to that story. If the prico of dogs went up I cannot help that." Mr. Baldwin said that the America was now at Dundee, Scotland. While on tho other side he purchased tents, furs and ether equipment. He said that while on the vessel the men would eat good wholesome food, but that while pushing north, they wculd have to subsist on condensed feed. He looked over the market with a view of supplying the larder. He expects, however, to buy almost all of his food supply In this country. TORN TO PIECES.

TWO XOTAIJLK TRIUl'TES TO THE LATE QIEEX VICTORIA. Andrew Carnegie on the Moral Character nnd Never-Failing: Kindness of the Sovereign. POEM BY EDWIN MAEKHAM CHARACTERISTIC VERSES BY THE "3IAX WITH A HOE" ACTIIOIt. Victoria Life to lie an Example for Ages to Come Memorial Services in Curuegle Hall. NEW YORK, Feb. 3. Andrew Carnegie spoke in Carnegie Hall this afternoon upon "The Moral Character of Queen Victoria." "One of the important traits,'' said Mr. Carnegie, "of Queen Victoria was her large, liberal and generous toleration of all sects. Queen Victoria kept her court pure. The chief jewel in her dower was purity. No scandal or loose living was ever tolerated there." Mr. Carnegie went on to say that her unvarying kindness to every one, aiivl especially to the humblest servants, was one of her strongest traits. He said she once had a man servant by the name of John Brown. He was one of those remarkable men who would have made his mark in any line of work, and stood very close to the Queen. When he died she had the followfng inscription put on a tablet above his grave: "A tribute of loving, grateful and everlasting friendship from his truest, best and most grateful friend, Victoria." "If we all treated our servants In that light," commented Mr. Carnegie, "I think there would be less to say In regard to the domestic problem In this country." After Mr. Carnegie's address Edwin Markham read a poem upon the Queen. It follows: "Homage and hush of heart belong to death'. When at the door the dread one entereth. The courteous departure of the soul To seek' Its high imperishable goal, The still withdrawal of that inward thing That gives the shapen clay the aureole, Sends on all hearts the ancient wandering. And so a stillness falls across the day. Now that the Queen has pushed aside the crown, . And, with no heralds telling her renown. Has gone the august unattended wayGone down the way where all of earth recedes. Leaving behind a fragrance of good deeds, A wreath of memories forever green; Above her name, mother and friend and Queen. . Whatever fortune comes to shape events She carried in her heart the good intent. And surely, too, since that far fragrant hour, WThen first the boughs of Eden broke to flower. Nothing has shlned more kingly than good, deeds. Lo, out of these tho golden heaven proceeds. The memory of good deeds will ever stay, A lamp to light us on the darkened way, A music to the ear on clamoring street, A cooling well amid the' nooday heat, A scent of green bought blown through narrow walls A feel of rest when ,quiet evening falls. . Tho kindly deed .will. Jlpre In memory , , When London in far centuries shall be ' As still as Babylon and both a dreamWhen London dead shall be soma poet's theme When all her tombs and towers shall be a flight' ' Of ghostly arches In the noiseless night. "Then as some bard on legends borne along Shall build her faded glories into song. Some Homer sing her darings and defeats, Filling with crowds again the grass-grown streets. Placing dead kings back on their crumbled There .suddenly will sweep into his ryhme Victoria's name long leavendered by Time; And all the poet heart of him will stir At some small heart-warm chronicles of her. The obscure whisper of some kindly deed Of this dead Queen, her quick reply to need: And lo, his song will brighten and will shine As though a star should break along the line "Greater than any king with wolfish hordes That ever climbed the pathway of the swords Was this Queen-mother, gracious, gentle and good, A white fair flower of Christian womanhood. Her banners felt the wind of every sea, And yet she held a wider realm in fee. The pure high kingdom of the womanly. Peace to her spirit as the years Increase Feace, for her last grand passion was for peace. "Oh, God of Nations, on the dark of things! Send down the white fire of the King of Kings, Until all rulers shall be lifted up To drink with common man the equal cup; Send wisdom upon nations, and send down On kings the deeper meaning of the crown. Come, God of Kings and Peoples, breathe on men Till love's heroic ages flower again." Services Elsewhere.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3. A copyright dispatch to the Herald from London says: The ceremonies attending the funeral of Queen Victoria bring curious facts to light. For Instance, the Bantings, who are the undertakers at the funeral, as they have been at public funerals for several generations past, are associated with the name of a once fashionable cure for obesity.

He is also chief butler of England at the coronation, where the chief butler of Ireland Is Lord Ormonde. Lord Southesk Is hereditary cup bearer of Scotland, and Lord Grey de Ruthyn bearer of the golden spur. The Duke of St. Albans has the right of driving on Rotten Row whenever he pleases. Lords Forester and Kinsdale have the right to wear hats in the presence of the sovereign. The present Lady Spencer has the right to carry her train over her arm in the drawing-room, and when she passes through the throneroom. All the peers have the right to be hanged with a silken rope instead of hempen cord. These latter privileges are Just for the time of the coronation. People ask when that ceremony will take place. The Kaiser has never been crowned at all. The King, I hear, would willingly avoid It. Hindoos Clad In White. LONDON, Feb. 4. Dispatches from Calcutta describe 100.000 Hindoos as assem

Feb. 3.--ChItto Harjo. or "Craty Snake," the leader of the warring Creek Indians, and seventeen of the minor leaders of that tribe have been landed in the federal Jail here, where they will be held pending trial for treason. The Indians were brought here from Henrietta under escort of Troon A. Eighth Cavalry, and United States Marshal Bennett and his posse. It Is stated that certain attorneys who. it is asserted here, misled the Indians, may be prosecuted. Marshal Bennett states that while most of the Indians are in hiding, some are still trying to hold meetings. A posse will be sent to-morrow to arrest Chief Lotah Mekko, the real chief of the Creeks. When placed in prison here Harjo and his followers were searched, fumigated, their shackles removed and all placed In one large cell. A newspaper correspondent, with the assistance of an interpreter, had an interview with "Crazy Snake," who said that he saw no reason for arrest and felt confident when the Indians were given a trial before the great white father's courts they would be released. He said they were acting in good faith and had papers from Washington that gave them the right ta establish their old government. As to all the talk about killing whites, he said it was never their intention, and they expected only to treat and act with their own people, and in so doing expected finally to get all whites out. He also said that the "great spirit would see that they got justice, even though their white father In Washington and the oil syndicates were trying to rob them of their once happy hunting ground." The Indians under arrest here are: Chltto Harjo, alias "Crazy Snake;" Fred Smith, Ben Deere, Noah Deere, John Creek, Louis Mitchell, Sam Boga, Jackson Tiger, Louis Yarde, . Sam Emarthika, Narke Shields, John Timothy, Robert Fisk. Abraham Mcintosh, Noah Timothy, Chotfca, Little Tiger and James Starr. ALLEGED SWINDLER.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 3. A lively physical mix-up occured yesterday in the hail of the House of Representatives, in which Representatives Organ and Delzell, and A. A. Webb, editor of the Bosworth Star, figured as principals and some twenty representatives, senators, clerks and doorkeepers as peacemakers. Chairs, spittoons and waste baskets were overturned and clothes were torn In the struggle to separate the combatants. According to accounts only two blows scored. Organ, of Dent, Is said to have landed a House journal of the Fortieth General Assembly on Editor Webb's head and the latter is credited with landing a glancing blow over the ear of Representative Delzell. -k The immediate cause of the fracas was an article printed by Webb in a recent Issue of his paper. The article referred to Organ as "the bewhlskered Organ, of Dent county, the kicker on clerical force who has succeeded In getting himself to be the most thoroughly hated and despised member by the employes," and to Delzell as "another member who has thought lt smart to pattern after Organ." These were the least offensive passages of the writing. The House was in recess, and Organ and Delzell were seated at their respective desks, which are located close together. Editor Webb approached Organ's desk and remarked: "I understand you are offended at something I wrote about you." "Yes," said Organ, "but Mr. Conkllng tells me a retraction will be printed In the next issue." "There will be no retraction," said Webb. "Then all I can say is that you are a malicious liar," said Organ, and the fight started. Organ and Webb are both heavy men and have reputations for fearlessness. They struck simultaneously and missed. Representative McKee, who was seated beside Organ, pulled the latter back Just as he hurled the Journal of the Fortieth General Assembly at Webb. Just how Representative Delzell got into, the fight Is myterious. He Is a bic man. too, but Is not credited with being a "scrapper" or with having a quick temper. He tells the story himself. "I had never seen Webb to know him till he came to Organ's desk." he says. "Then I recognized him from what he said and from descriptions as the man who had assaulted me in his paper. I heard him say something in a genera! way about "rascals" and I started for him just as Organ and he began hostilities." It is certain that when the melee cleared up, through the efforts of the peacemakers, Delzell was found In the midst of it with several representatives, senators and clerks hanging to him trying to quiet him. MR. HEMENWAY IN TOWN. What He Has to Say About Congressional Apportionment. Representative James A. Hemenway declared last night that he is unalterably opposed to the congressional apportionment that would change his district the First. Mr. Hemenway arrived in Indianapolis yesterday and was seen at the Columbia Club by a Journal reporter. "I am Just on my way home from Wa?hington," he said, "and thought I would spend Sunday with my friends in Indianapolis. Of course it would be useless for me to deny that I feel an interest in tne proposed new congressional apportionment. I will say this, however, that I do not desire any change to be made in the district that I now represent. The change that was proposed by a number of persons who are friendly to me, by which Gibson county would be left out of my district, does not meet with my approval. While I would like to have a safely Republican district. I wrjuld not want to get It by taking Gibson county out of my dlctrict, because the people of that county have at all times been loyal not only to the Republican party, but to myself as well. have a great many personal friends in both Gtoon and Posey counties that I would not want to see legislated out of the .district." "There Is another reason," continued Mr. Hemenway, "why I am opposed to the plan suggested by my friends, and this reason is, in my opinion, the greatest of all: I have never believed that anything could be. gained by an apportionment that would have the appearance of a gerrymander of the State for political purposes." "Do you know anything as to the truth of the published statement that Senator Fairbanks has been Interesting himself in tho proposed apportionment of Indiana for congressional purposes?" Mr. Hemenway was asked. "I know that Senator Fairbanks U net
