THE FANCY.
Bates and Barry Have Some Statements
to Make Concerning Themselves-A
Match for McEwen.

Bates and Barry Have Some Statements
Il Match for McEwen.
Jem Bates came up to THE MINER Office
4 yesterday and said he took exceptions to
some remarks made by Barry in yester-
days paper. "If he came up to challenge
the winner why didn't he challenge me and
not go running me down." said he. HE
knows, and every one knows, that that
decision would have stood eyerswhere in
| the East. He don't have to come all the
way up here to challenga4he winner OF that
| fight. He can find plenty OF men who will
meet him down there-Biliy Mahan, Tom
Ceary and young Mitchell, the middle
weight champion of the Pacific coast. He's
no champion, even OF California. His
| fight with the Montana Kid he speaks of
was fake, and was so declared. The
board OF directors OF the California Club
saw how it was going, and jumped into
the ring and declared it off. He got the
fight with Downey in Jack Callahan's Gre
mOrne Theatre in September, 1884, by q
foul by kicking Downey in the sixth
round. don't pretend was the best man.

show | had to save my backer uas on
foul, and thought he was acting in good
faith with me, though subsequently found
he was not. l think Hawkins is gentle
man and am willing to confess him the best
man, but don't like to see men like Barry
come and make the breaks he has. II he
came here as he says, to fight the winner,
aud allowing that the referees decision was
unfair. it was all the better match for him
to have challenged me than to challenge
the loser if he does think him the better
man of the two."

he was asked.
"No, I'm done with fighting" was the
answer.
BARRY's EXPLANATION.
Barry was seen afterwards and shown
these statements of Bates, and asked if he
had any statement to make.
Its just as he says" replied he. II

there lately and came up here to allow

but as said got into trouble down in San
Francisco and came up here thinking to
make my expenses on a fight. As far as
Bates is concerned, l don't mention his
name in the interview. l was asked which
was the best man and said Hawkins was
and think SO. | don't want to run down
any man, no matter whether he is good or
bad, but I always tell the truth when a
man asks me. As to the Montana Kid,
that was no fake. In the sixteenth round

At Least So says Mr.. b. r. Jones, who II
Supposed to- Know What Mr.. Blaine
Would Like at the Hands ofthe Chicago
Convention.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The most notable
event OF the day, politically, was the ar
rival OF B. f. Jones, Chairman Of the Re
publican National Committee, and the re.
cipient OF the famous Florence letter from
Blaine. A rumor was in circulation that
he was the bearer OF another epistle from
the man across the water, and that the
new message would give Blaine's choice for
the Republican presidential nominee. Mr..
Jones was seensby representative Of the
Associated Press this evening and asked if
ne had such a letter. He replied mo sir,
| have not. No communication of politi-
cal kind has been received by me rom Mr..
Blaine since the Florence letter was re-
ceived -
Don't you-think the situation calls for
further expression from him at this time in
view OF a possible deadlock in the conven-
tionf %
mo do not think SO. The great ma.
lority OF the delegates come here unpledged
and they may nominate q candidate at the
very outset. So the talk of what should be
done In the event'of deadlock need not
be discussed
Has Blaine ever intimated to you that
he would not accept the nomination If
unanimously rendered 2n
Most emphatically no.
THE BLAINE UNDERoURRENr.
The most remarkable feature of the DO.
litical situation throughout the day was
the strong undercurrent for Blaine. There
re many men from all parts Of the
country around political headquarters
who still think Blaine the coming man.
They quoted speeches in which he said no
man had right to refuse the call OF his
country II it came with unanimity
and concluded that Blaine would
not be the first to violate
his own principle. There was actively at
Gresham headquarters to-day. The
register WAS kept open and every Gresham |
man who dropped in put down his name.
Many former residents of New York held a |
meeting in Gresham rooms this afternoon |

They organized committee to receive the |
New York delegation with all hospitality. |
They called upon all former New Yorkers

BOOM OF SENATOR INGALLS,,
TRIBUTE TO GENERAL ALGER.

She says: He has always been honorable
in his dealings. People say he is unknown.
The reason for this is that he has not an
tagenized anybody. He has not abused
other Republicans. This is more than can
be said OF some other candidates in the
field. / am fair enough to believe that
Blaine is honest, but think he is out OF
the race" sWhat do yon think of the
chances OF the party?" MY opinion
may not be worth much, but if General
Alger is nominated he will be elected. He
is strong with the soldiers, and safe, care
full, honest man, who is true to his friends.
A man who is true to friends can be relied
upon for his country"

Englishmen are much exercised over the
IeeIIug OF dislike which seems to prevail in
Germany against the new Empress Victoria,
Queen Victorias eldest child. The empress
is certainly almost universally disliked

The great events in Berlin have put Prince
Ferdinand, still of Bulgaria, SO far into the
background that it has almost required a
long range telescope to find him. But he
remains at Sofia, despite the polite hints of
the Sultan that he is an interloper and de.

BRIDGE OVER THE THAMES.
Planning to Avoid the Ferry Transfer

Planning tn avoid the Ferry Transfer
from GrOtOn to New London.
The State railroad commissioners will
meet in New London, Ct, as soon as railroad
travel can be undertaken with any assurance
of reaching ones destination, to approve Of
the place selected by the New York, Proyi-
dence & Boston Railroad company for
bridging the Thames river The bridge is to
GRO from New London to Groton at Win
throp's Point, the finish of the four mile
course rowed over by Yale and Harvard in
their races on the Thames. The bridge will
cost a round million, and will be the
finest structure of the kind in the
state. 1t is to be 50O-foot
span, with two draws on either side,
250 feet from the centre, to admit of tbs
passage of steam and sailing craft of any
size to and from Norwich. 10 acquire prop
erty necessary for the laying of tracks for
approaches to the bridge, an expenditure Of
another 81, 100000 will be required. The
plan OF the brid 20 is now in the hands Of
builders, and the contract will beawarded in
the course of few da,s The bridge is to be
completed during the summer Of 1883, and is
the biggest undertaking in railroad enter
prise ever entered upon in this
state. The bridge will eventually lead
to the abandonment of the railway
ferryhoat now employed at this city in con-
veying trains of the Boston g. Providence
road across the river. The layout of the
tracks will be through a valley lying di-
rectly opposite Winthrop's Point on the
Groten side of the river, and will shorten by
mile the distance to be traversed between
Groten and Noank. t. which latter point the
Boston e. Providence road is sdoubled-tracked

will be made by the railroads centerng hero
as IA result of this move by the Boston &c
