The Club is Willing.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 4. The Olympic
club of which Jim Corbett is one of the
professors of boxing, Wednesday night
agreed to let the Californian meet John
L. Sullivan in four-round contest with
gloves. This is all that was needed to
insure meeting between the two. The
opinion generally prevails here that Cor
bett will hold his own in the coming
contest, but would not be in it with
Sullivan were the match one to a
finish.

UNANIMOUS.
The London Press DenunciatiOn
of Emin PaSha
For Having Entered the Serv-
ice of Germany

70 Organize an Expedition to Return TO
the Province He Formerly Governed.
He Has Never Forgiven Stanley for
Having Rescued" Him-Revolt In
Riaxan-other Foreign News.
LONDON, April THE London press
are unanimous in bitter denunciation of
the ingratitude displayed by Emin Pasha
in entering the service of Germany and
organizing an expedition to return TO the
equatorial province he formerly gov
erned. Though great stress is laid upon
his notification of the work done by
Stanley in rescuing Emin from his peril
GUS position and conducting him i'm
safety to the seaboard it is quite obvious
that the inspiration of the articles is
borne of alarm at the prospects of Ger
man interference with English interests
in Africa, and that if those interests were
not menaced Emin might go whittier he
pleased without the slightest objection
on the part of anybody in England
1t is perfectly we'll known that Emin
has for some time past been desirous TO
return to his province, and it is equally
well understood that he has never for
given Stanley for "rescuing" him, or, to
put it palmer, for making his desertion
of his post and journey to Bagamoyo
matter of compulsion. While nobody is
surprised that Emin has entered the
service of Germany, it is nevertheless a
matter for regret that he has done so.
Sir Francis De Winioa's Views.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes an in
terview with Sir Francis De Winton,
president of the Emin Bey relief COM
mittee. Sir Francis, after expressing
bitter Indignation at the course pursued
by Emin in giving the benefit of his
African experience and knowledge to
Germany, declares that he has in his
possession letters from Emin in which
the latter begs 70 be relieved from his
precaricus position at Wadelai Sir
Francis De Winton regards Emin Bey as
a man absolutely devoid of either graft
tude or generosity, and asserts that his
action in cutting away from Stanley and
the English will lower him in the esti-
nation of the civilized world.

LONDON, April 4.--The correspondent

At Trenton, N. j., Tuesday, Attorney
general Stockton decided that the constl-
tntionai amendment ordered to be sub
mltted to vote Of the people by the
last two Legislatures must be voted upon
under the lay IS it existed previous to
the passage Of the new Ballot Reform
law. The principal amendment proposed
repeats the clause OF the constitution
prohibiting special legislation. The act
providing for special election provides
it's own machinery, which, though ineon-
sistent with the Ballot Reform law, was
passed at a later da'e.
Judge Tuley, in Chicago, Tuesday de-
cided what constitutes "dependent"
and ''member" of family. The Rev.
Michael Morgan, Roman Catholic
prieat, was insured for 81 600 In the Illi-
nois Catholic Order of Foresters. The
policy was originally payable to his
mother. She died and Father Horgsn
executed will, leaving the insurance to
his housakeeper, Margaret DAILY. After
Horgan's death the Forssters declined to
pay over the money on the ground that
the housekesper, being no relative, was
not member OF the priests family or q
dependent thereof, conditions required
by the rules of the Order OF Foresters.
Judge Tuley decided to the contrary and
awarded her the money.

sion. but wes met with a hearty Scotch
welcome, "Ns, ma, mon, Pm vara glad to
see ye," from the president. Secretary
Forrest, after other routine business,
read the constitution and bylaws of the
Tam o. Shanter Club OF Philadelphia.
The chairman in commenting upon them
explained that the Philadelphia club is q
purely social one. lie understood the
proposition IN organizing the Whining
ton one IL ia intended to 60 little
beyond that and to introduce the sick
benefit idea, to make the club mutual
aid in cases of sickness, necessity, or
denth. He understood there are more
than 200 Scotch families In the city. He
hoped all Scotchmen would Join the
society. Mr.. Brown explained, on there
being some demur upon the name Tam
o. Shanter" as the title of the club, that
it was suggested as better than SCALE

come anything but distinotively Scotch.
Other nationaiities had orept into the
Caledonisns and at length got the upper
hand, until now, Oh has actually occurred
in Philadelphia, the true Scots had TO

AN Zoe Wagon struck by an Engine
nnd n Horse Killed.


Shortly after O'Clock u. M. yesterday
the Kennebec Toe and Goal Oompany's
ice wagon Nc. IS, was struck at the King
street crossing OF the p, W. u b. rail-
road, by cabin oar which was being
pushed by engine No. 81. The wagon
was partly wrecked and one Of the horses
almost instantly killed. Bradford Carney,
oolored, the driver, escaped without
scratch.
Carney thought that the time was about
$50 o'clock, but II was after and not
later than $40. The railroad company
does not keep any gateman at this cross-
ing at night, there being little or no
vehicular traffic. The day gateman goes
on at O o'clock. He was probably q few
minutes late this morning and arrived
just in time to see, but not to prevent the
collision.
The ice wagon had lohd Of about
1900 pounds of ice and was going
10 the King street wharf to load II
on the steamer Christina for PennsRroye.
The gates were up as Carney drove to
the crossing and he did not see the cabin
car and engine until his horses had
stepped on the south-bound track. BE
, did not hear the engine bell and the en-
CINE was within 30 feet of him when he
saw 1t. It was coming from the west
yard and was running at good rate OF
Bpsed.
Carney wheeled his horses TO the left,
which took the wagon partly off the
north-bound track, and saved his life.
The corner Of the cabin car struck the
hind wheel of the wagon and crushed 1t,
then hit the of horse and pushed the
wagon forward about 80 feet, throwing
Carney off and the other horse down. By
this time the engine had stopped. The
dead horse was extrioated from beneath
the wagon and with it removed to King
street. The other horse was only slightly
bruised. Carney was badly frightened,
but not hurt at all.
The Toe was taken to the French street
station. The broken wheel and pole of
the wagon were repaired on the spot and
nj $50 O'Clock the dead horse was taken
away ON truck by its unhurt mate. Tho
dead horse was the largest and best ami
NAL in the ios company's stables. A
wagon which crossed just ahead of the
lee wagon had narrow escape from
being struck.
