Changes nis Mind.
 CINCINNATI, July 6.--Jake Kilrain and his party have loft for Now Orleaus over the Queen and Crescent route. The party were in Kilrain's private car, tho Aida.
 Before the train pulled out of the depot, Kilrain was asked what he had to say in reference to the despatch sent from New Orleans, which appeared in 0 New York paper, stating that his friends were afraid he had flunked.
 II hardly know what to say in reply to this report" remarked the pugifist quietly. When told that Lyney Tracey, an enthusiastic Sullivan admirer, met William B. Harding in the rotunda of the St. Charles hotel last night and of fored to bet him $50 that he (Kilrain would not go to New Orleans. and that Harding had refused to bet, the fighter turned about in his seat uneasily and appeared for moment to be in very uncomfortable frame of mind.
 ''The refusal of Harding to take Ira cey's bot could not have been on account of lack of faith in me-" said Kilrain. Every one of my friends knows I will be on hand at the proper time. I know Billy Harding better than many of those fellows who are trying to scare my friends with bluff bets. Harding Is a If he had taken Tracey's bet he would have been wagering half hundred on 0 dead sure thing, for will go to New Or leans just as sure as l am alive this mo- mont"
 "Have you taken the same precautions the Sullivan contingent did to elude the Mississippi sheriffs3" was asked.
 fv{o the Baltimore boy. "Pony Moore is just about as fly as the next 'un, and If the sheriff catches me he will have to get up before the rOosters begin to crow" Kilrain was very much exercised over the report which appeared in ono of the morning papers here declaring that he had been drinking heavily during his stay in the city.
 1.-The story of my bein on 8 uebauch Is If the story reaches Baltimore my friends will think that I am not doing right by them."
 Later.-Information has been received here to the effect that Kilrain and party have boon arrested. No details have yet been learned. Sporting men are much excited over the story.
 NEW ORLEANS, July CA reporter called on Governor Nichols at his resi- Ucnco to near WnaC ne nau to SOy. Ills talk was short but sweet. II don't want to be interviewed on | prize fights or fprize fighters" said he. ''but will say that the outside public | apparently knows more than I do about my probable action. I was at the St. Charles hotel, and the men I saw there were apparently all gentlemen, and so far as the fight Is concerned I know mo- thing and will do nothing until know l more than do now."
 l Although the governor was brusque 1t was apparent that he has experienced a change of heart and that if Kilrain gets through Mississippi all right there will be no obstacles to the fight. l Sullivan started out for a walk. Null doom was with him, and although John protested that sweaters were unneoes- sary in the heated and humid atmos- phere, yet he was forced to wear them. | What Muldoon called five miles wore ruled off before John l.. returned to the Young Men'a gymnasium; and although he said he would like to buy real estate by the mile as Billy measured, the latter said not a word. Then an hours prac tice with dumb bells and ball followed and John was given bath and taken homo for breakfast.
 Later he had another hours hard work, and after dinner he was driver out into the country and made to ruI home.
