loe public reception to Corbett at
Madison Square occurred today. An i'm

center OF the great auditorium he looked a
perfect specimen of physical health, SEEM

mesh. he wore the same dress that he

garments were not q harmonious combi-

trunks white and the shirt sleeveless,

sports present made many EXPLANATIONS

use were scattered about the floor of the
garden, and Corbett's programme was to
snow his admirers the exact methods he

few weeks.

MILLIONAl
MILLIONAIRE vs.. MILLIONAIRE.
Sawyer and Mitchell Fighting for tho
Wisconsin SenatOrshlp.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 29-TSpecial l.
Millionaire pitted against millionaire, and
the price seat in the United States Senate
from Wisconsin. One Of the prettiest
political fights of the present year, in
legislative way, is that that will take place
in Wisconsin between the Republicans and
the Democrats. the Republicans being led
by Phlletus Sawyer, present Republican
senator from that state and twenty times
millionaire, and Representative John L.
Mitchell, of Milwaukee, who is probably
worth fully as much money as Mr. Sawyer.
While the fight has not narrowed down
to finish between Sawyer and Mitchell,
it is probable that all other candidates
who have senatorial ambitions will drop
out in the near future. The queerest thing
about the whole matter is that for the last
year it has been supposed that Mr.. Sawyer
did not care to succeed himself in the
Senate. Within the last month, however.
the old lumberman has given it out
straight from the shoulder that he wanted
the seat himself, and that all the other
fellows must get out of the way. Upon
announcing this decision Mr.. SAWYER con-
tributed $40, 900 to the Wisconsin state Re-
publican committee for campaign work,
and then he went to New York and gave
his check to the national Republican COM
mittee for $4,000 more.
At this time it is practically conceded
that Mr.. Sawyer is boss of the Repub-
licans in Wisconsin; That he will dictate
the methods TO be pursued in the present
campaign. and, if the legislature is Repub-
licaD, will insist upon his own reelection.
This, of course, drives Mr.. Spooner, the
Republican candidate for governor. out of
the list of possible senatorial candidates,
and also sidetracks National Committee
man Payne, who has cast longing eyes in
the direction of Washington City for the
past two or three years.
The Democratic canvass for the senator
ship IS equally as unique as that of the
Republicans. John l.. Mitchell was in
duced To stand as Il candidate for congress
III the Milwaukee district two years ago,
and he expended his money so freely that
he secured election, and the politicians in
that town are very anxious tor him to
keep his barrel on tap and are willing to
support him for the senatorship, provided
the legislature should be Democratic.
That Mr.. Mitchell is going TO conduct an
aggressive campaign Is made evident from
the fact tina, he was elected chairman of
the national Democratic congressional
committee, and, instead of being at his
post Of duty IN Washington City. is in
Wisconsin making personal fight to fur
Their his chances ior the United States SEN
atorship.
It's probable that Mr.. Mitchell will nut
fully IS much money into the political
whirlpool as Will Mr.. Sawyer. and the
battle for the senatorship in the Badger
state will be fast and furious for the next
few months

PACIFIC COAST GUN FACTORY.
The President to Appoint the Board in
Few Oars.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. %. Especial J.
The president has not yet fulfilled an act
of congress which directed ham to appoint
a board Of three army and three navy
officers to select q site for a new ordnance
factory on the Pacific slope This board
will have to be constituted soon if its re-
port is to be ready for congress at the next
session. The reason for including navy
with army officers on this board is that
the factory is to be available for furnish
ing the batteries of ships as well as forts.
There is quite rivalry over the question
OF site. Both Oregon and Washington
want it, and Seattle has already taken
active steps looking to presentation of
her claims. California wants the gun fac
tory at Benecia, but both the Columbia
river and Puget sound are: presenting a
stronger claim.
This board will probably re appointed
as soon as the president ret0rns, and the
rapid development of Puget sound and the
construction of the dry deck in those
waters is very apt to give The Sound
great preference over other points. In his
reports to congress Senator Squire pre-
scented an argument in fayor of the gun
factory on the coast. and the following,
from an officer who may be selected as one
of the examining board, bears out every
thing tina, has been claimed Ly the Wash
lngton senator:
The armament for Q Pacific coass gun factory.
whatever site may be selected. rests upon the
great number OF guns and mortSrs needed for
our coast deienses and the inabi:iiy OF Water

great many years. OF course assistance will be

as the total number OF guns ultimately to be re-
quired on the Pacific coast Is estimated at over
5o1, IL VIII be seen that there is an abuudan,
field for a new factory there. There are also
certain military advantages in hasing two gun
factories to count rpon. with one of them Sit
ua,ed upon the Pacific coast. The: eost of labor
and of fuel on that coast is great drawback TO
tie present plan, but may be Offset somewhat

The Californian Reconsidera His O6ol
for q FOur-Round Finish.


for . Four-Kound Finish.
New YoRK, Aug 29.-There was a hot
time in the private Office of Madison
Square Garden here this morning when
James ]. Corbett and HIS manager, Will
lam A. Brady, met there to arrange with
Dominick Mccartney, boxing instructor
oil the Manhattan Athletic club, for a
match In contest In the manly art of
self-defense. Corbett became so enraged
at the remarks of the Manhattan man that
be stated in most emphatic language and
menacing mien that if his would-be an
tagonst did not stop talking he would
throw him out of the window. Captain
Van Shack, of the Manhattan club, was
AcCaffrey's adviser. The upshot of it all
was that no match was arranged ana the
two principals separated with much bad
blood between them. So far the men agree
on the result of the much-talked-of meet
ing. but in the details there is something
Of divergence.
McCaffrey in conversation later declared
that Corbett had failed to make good his
proposition to stop him in four rounds for
apurss Of 5000. That was the original
proposition, and she ''big 'un" had simply
backed down when he appeared ready to
accept the proposition for a four-round
Ego" on the terms mentioned at the Man
haitian Athletic Club house. He said thar
when Corbett threatened to throw him

ter not try it; that he was ready to defend
himself. The scene was a very dramatic
one, and il looked for q time rs if the four
rounds might be fought out on the spot.
dispensing with the formality of a purse
and preliminary negotiations.
Corbett placed a somewhat different
framework about the picturesque meeting.
He said he proposed 10 have the match in
the place where there was the most money
either before any liberal athletic club or in
the Manhattan Athletic Club house. He
ssid he would agree TO the terms of the
Eight and stop his man in that time for
purse of s. coo. but he wished 10 have o
decision in case he had the best of il in
iour rounds, whether he stopped Mccartney
OF not. In other words he would donate
1000 10 McCaifrey in case he did not
Knock him ont in four rounds, but asked
that purse OF 5000 be made up for the
man who got the better of the fight
whether Knocked out or not This Nc
eanrey would not listen TO. He insisted
On hghting in the Manhattan Athletic
Club. and il should be knockout in four
rounds or nothing.

TIE ANNUAL report of the Santa Fe road has just been printed, and it shows that in the last year the road has been steadily regalning the ground it lost two years ago. The improved condition of the road is of course due to two things, the excellent management it has had aimee the reorganization and the renewed prosperity of Kansas. The prosperity of the Santa Fe proves that good times are coming back in the west, No commercial thermometer is more sympathetic to the commercial and economic temperature than is the rail road to the condition of it's territory. The progress made by the Santa Fe should be rejoiced Tn by all friends of the great west as an indication of per- sonal gain.
