Report OF the Investigation.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Aug. 27.-The porte
recently ordered an investigation into the
burning of the house of Rev. Mr.d5artlett,
American missionary, and the report was
received showing that the destruction OF
the dwelling was due to the carelessness of
an American servant and not to the fan
atheism of the natives. The report adds
that Bartlett's life was not ENDANGERED in
any way and the statement that he was in
immediate danger of being killed by fanatl-
cal MosIems was not true.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Work of pre-
paration is virtually finished by Corbett
and Sullivan and now each aims and hopes
to go into the ring on the night ofSeptember
z, in as good fit as he is at present.
Sullivan was first and quit training. He
quit hard work on Tuesday, in order to
give his badly blistered feet an opportunity
to heal. AS matter of fact the bad con-
dition in which his feet are in has
given his friends some concern
but he feels sure they will be all right. II
they are not they are apt to trouble him a
good deal If the battle with Corbett should
be a protracted one.
They believe that the battle will be
hard, scientific one from start to finish and
that it will last for something like an hour.
A diagnosis of each man's case was
given today by Charles johnson
and Professor Mike Donovan.

SHEEPHEAD BAY, Aug. 27.-The great
futurity has been won by a horse that
under ordinary conditions would not have
been permitted leave of the stable, and
Morello's owners are tonight richer by
$4,000 through the gameness of their ami
NAL. Disagreeable weather put the attend
ance down to 10000. The track was heavy
While the winner stood at the post before
the race saliva fell from his nostrils pro-
fusely and people thought Trainer
Van Ness must be crazy to send the colt to
the post in such condition. Morello was
suffering from severe attact of influenza
After ten minutes delay, good start was
secured and Loyelace was first on the
rail. He wcs out-speeded in the opening
sixteenth by Beiladonna colt At the bend
into the homestretch proper. Morello was
seen to be breaking from Munich; At the
half he was at Relladonna colts neck
and Hamilton began to whip the colt in
desperate effort TO retain first place.
Nearing the last furloDg Haywards went
up IN the air and came down with vicious
severity on MOrello's side. From now to
the finish Morello easily outsped his OPP
ponents and easing up in the last dozen
strides came in two lengths ahead in ~ l-5

Violet was struggling second, beating

caused by blister on his heel has now
gone and the big fellow is as spry
as cat and as strong as lion. OF course
he feels perfectly confident of winning and
that in short order. He does not mean to
waste his strength chasing Corbett, how
ever, should the Californian attempt to
adopt Charley Mitcheli's tactics. If Cor
bett stands up aud fights the battle will be
of short duration, but if he attempts to run
John will be found equal to the emergency
and stay all night if necessary
to whip his man. 1t is the opinion of ao-
o0mDlished RUG generals that lighter Pro
lessor Mike Donovan of the New York
Athletic club is equally interesting
Barring accidents, said the veteran, Jim
will win the great light of the century at
New Orleans on Sept Z. He is in
and as quick and ferocious as u
cat. Certain it is he does not expect
anything, although confident of victory.
On the contrary he anticipates fierce and
most determined struggle, and quite nat
urally, for he knows he will face the great
est tighter the world has yet seen. How
ever, he is buoyant and confident and
chuck full of courage.
Il am not at liberty to state what Jim's
plans are"
The admirers of Sullivan cannot see how
he can be defeated. They boldly announce,
in fact. that he has a veritaule walk-over.
They argue Sullivan has trained as he
never did before. He Is stronger, TOO,
than ever, and as much OF a human hnrri-
cane as when he moved down Ryan,
Mitchell, Slade, Herald, Wilson and Kill
rain. No living man, they de-
clare, can withstand his rushes,
ambitious aspirations for championship
honors. The friends OF Corbett predicI
wholly different outcome of tie great
battle. They have no hesitation in saying
Sullivan is ''up against 1t this time" for
fair championship. They claim he has
never met a man of Corbett's caIbre be-
fore in his life. In skill, strength and
Quickness he is perfect marvel.
In addition to these qualities of the
great tighter. ''Pompadour jim" has
the natural advantage over Sullivan
he is three inches taller and the length of
his arms Is extraordinary. His hitting
powers are but slightly IN favor of
Sullivan, and his nlmbleness will
keep him out of harms way.
Naturally he has by far greater endurance,
and ten years of age IN his favor cannot
but aid him in case of q prctracted strug-
gle. So reason partisans on both sides.
Conservatives VINO are familiar with
his performances at the bowery,
are of the opinion that neither has
Donovan, but one thing you can rest as
sured of, Jim won't sprint like Mitchell
OF course he won't stand like fool and
get punched or engage in a rough
and tumEle style of fighting, but
will nit and get away cleverly
All Sullivan's savage rusnes will be skill
fully met and weu or lose the big fellow
viii know he has been IN some light.
