Restoration of Business Conference.-The

Just before he left the East for Washing

reporter of the New York Mad and Express.
The interview is in part
Senator Watson C. Squire, of Washington, re-
ceived a number OF friends informally at the
Hoffman house today. They asked him hun
dred questions or more about the great West, all
of which he answered in a lucid and oftentimes
eloquent way. The Nail and Express asked him

Lieutenant Henn's Yacht Talk Not Au-
thoritative.

LONDON, Jan. 1i.-[Special. THE state
ments which Lieutenant HEM has as
sumed to make in New York about the
probable race for the American cup, and
particularly his personal connection with
the probable challenge are simply amusing
on this side of the Atlantic. Among
Englishmen Lieutenant HEM is not re-
garded as the proper man to negotiate an
international contest. Lieutenant Hem
has made his remarks about the next chal-
lenge SO ambiguous that no one can take
exception TO them. Scores of British
yachtsmen besides Lieutenant Hem, it is
said, know that if the New York Yacht
Club renounces the dimensions clause in
the new deed of gift, challenges for Amer
ica's cup would soon be forthcoming.
James Bell, owner of the Thistle, has
openly stated he would under no circum-
stances challenge Immediately with new

now about TO enter the ring at the middle
weight limit, does not strengthen the con-
fidence in him. The record of fitzsirn-
mons, as given by himself to New Or
leans reporter and which was published in
Yesterdays PosT-lNTELLIGENcER. does not
contain the following bit of information
taken from a recent issue of the San Fran
cisco Call: although Fitzsimmons de-
feated Hall for the championship, they
met again before the former sailed TO this
country, and those who witnessed the con-
test. which was won by Hall in three
rounds, say that "Fitz" quit from the
punishment he received under the heart.
The following correct record of Demp-
sey's pugilistic career may be of interest TO
many.

Betting on the fight has thus far been
light and not more than $500 has been
wagered on the result in the city outside
of the 81, 600 telegraphed by Charles Dexter
TO Dempsey There is but little FitZsim-
mons money here and those who have it
want odds of 100 to 20.
As Seattle claims ''the Nonpareil'' as
one of it's citizens since the latter went
into business on Washington street, local
excitement will naturally run high on
Wednesday night. Besides the newspapers
a downtown sporting resort has arranged
to receive returns by rounds and business
in that quarter will probably be almost
entirely suspended while the news is COM
ing in. As the difference in time between
New Orleans and Seattle is about equal to
the time required to transmit messages it
will be about $50 p. m. in this city before
word comes that the two men have faced
each other.
Jack McAuliffe and Jimmy Carroll will
second the two men and they hate each
other like poison. After the hight they
will probably be matched for $4,000
purse by the Olympic Club.

1t is doubtful if any arenic event ever
attracted more than the approaching hat
tie, not excepting the sullivan Kirain
ght at Richburg in July, 1889. The keen
est interest is evinced in the result for
many reasons. The contest will be an in
ternational one. and from patriotic mo-
tives American sympathies are with
Dempsey. His marvellous career as q
lighter, too, brings him a legion of sup
porters, ''the Nonpareif' having won and
retained the championship by defeating
fifty of the cleverest men the world has
produced. Besides being lighter OF rare
courage and skill, Dempsey is well-bred,
gentlemanly fellow, and personally is
probably the most popular pugilist in
America
Fitzsimmons has also a host of admir-
ers. While his pugilistic career has not
been so extensive as that of his opponent,
the Australians performances in this
country have been such that good judges
of istiana look upon him as a conner The
fact that he sent Mccarthy to grass in
quicker time than did Dempsey, and the
further fact that he polished off Arthur
Upham in a few rounds has not influenced
ring patrons to any crest extent but the
Australians style is said to be superb, and
this, with his great advantage in height
and reach over the American, has tended
largely to even up the betting. The sup
porters of the Autipodean argue that
Dempsey has never before met man who
surpassed him in height and reach, and
that consequently he viii be handicapped
largely. Fitzsimmons is a telling puncher,
also, and can deliver goods with either
hand. In Jimmy Carroll as a second he
could have found no better coacher.
