CORBETT AND MITCHELL.

NEW YORK, Oct 23-The cham pionshiE
fight between James j. Corbett and
Charles Mitchell will come off either a,
Coney Island or New Orleans. or nowhere.
Corbett will not fight in San Francisco
nor will he consent to leaving the country
He feels that, As champion, be is not called
upon to accompany Mitchell to Europe,
and. on the same theory, he believes that
it is his prerogative to name he battle
ground in this country. He has never
favored New Orleans aS the scene OF the
battle with Mitchell, but if the authorities
shall finally preven the holding of the fight
at Coney Island, he will advocate New
Orleans.
1t is doubtful whether Mitchell will con-
sent to fight in New Orleans He favored
that city at the time he signed the CoDey
Island articles. but since the announce
ment of Sheriff Courtney that the fight
cannot be held there he has hedged, and
insisted that Corbett meet bim in some
other country than the United States. He
has named Cuba, Mexico, Hayti, Ber-
mu,la and the Island Of Jamaica, as favor
able battle grounds. He would really
like to have Corbett fight in France, and
will insist upon his fighting there or in
some of the other countries mentioned
The National club Of London has ca abIed
the fight if 1t cannot be held at Coney
Island.
COrbett, of course, will not consider this
proposition. Narrowed down, 1t appears
that the fight, if there is going to be a
fight at all, will be at New Orleans. Gov
ernor Foster has announced his intention
of preventing the fight there, but il is said
that there is no law against prize fighting
in Louisiana and that the governor can
not, therefore, interefere.
Charley Mitchell, the pugilist, arrived
in New York yesterday from Pittsburg.
When reporter Intercepted him, be
said:
Il am wondering what the Coney Island
people are going to do about our contest.
hope to meet Mr.. Newton and have some
kind Of an understanding with him. | in
tended starting in the ring on the terms
but as the matter now stands,
| shall do nothing until l have seen New
ton"
IF the Coney Island does not offer the
purse, will the fight be declared OFF,"
No sir; all know of the matter is what
have read in the newspapers"
When Mitchell heard that the fight
would be stopped at Couey Island he tele-
graphed to friend in New Orleans ask
ing if there is any chance OF the fight be-
ing pulled off in that city. He received a
reply that there was no chance OF il being
stopped in that city. The Englishman
Ices not seem discouraged at the turn af
,airs have taken.

When all is ready, a Jaranese advances
at very slow pace, to the sound OF
soft music, and sets fire to the trap, at
the same time opening the door at the
back part of the cage. which, by the
way, is too narrow for the tiger TO
turn in. As the fire begins TO SINCE his
whiskers, he gradually backs out. The
man, as soon as he has opened the door,
begins walking toward the crowd at a
slow pace, and the slower he walks the
more applause does he gain. The tiger,
meanwhile, having backed out OF his

CHICKAMAUGA GULCH.
A Beautiful Canyon with . Tragic Tra-
ditlOn.

- y
dtlOn.
Within cannon shot of Chattanooga
is a canyon of different sort, a note
worthy rival of those on the Yellow
stone. 1t is locally known as Chicha-
mauga gulch, and was cut by the
River Of Death" on its way from the
SUBMITS of Walden's ridge to the Ten
nessee river, the" big Spoon" as it's In
dian name freely translated means
The sides of the gulch are, in places,
one thousand feet high, precipitous on
either hand The little stream makes
many pools, which are filed with
speckled trout, and where something
like valley is left bear and deer are
found, within sight of city of fifty
thousand people. The Cherokees
were a tribe singularly rich in tradi-
tion, and of course SO wild, gloomy
and remarkable spot was not with
out its legend. The descendants of
the expatriated semi-barbarians be-
ieve to this day that in ages gone a
great serpent made its den in the
gulch, and that yearly he demanded of
S-iS ASo AiCh lCd VI elcIi iiIoot Dcdu
ful maidenS as sacrificial Offering.
Fearful of determination, the demand
was always complied with by the tribe
amid weeping and wailing by the
women. On the day before the tribute
was due the serpent announced its
presence by demoniacal hiss, and the
next morning the fair ones who had
been chosen to save the tribe were
taken to the summit of a cliff and left
to be swallowed by the scaly Moloch.
The wonderful gulch is as wild and
primitive now as when the Cherohees
were supreme here, and once between
its rocky walls it seems impossible
triumphs can be seen from their tops.

ALUMINIUM USED AS MONEY

St. Paul, Oct. 1S.-Goyernmcnt Of
fcials in the Northwest have recently
been stirred irtC i,i;y by the appear
ance OF an aluminium currency which has
gained extensive circulation in this see
ton of the country and especially ii
South Dakota. Thousands Of dollars of
this currency have been manufactured
here in St. Paul and other places in the
Northwest. 1t is used in trade and passes
from hand to hand for value received as
though 1t were lawful coin. When this
coin was manufactured. however, the
makers thereof had no idea they were
violating the law or that the coin would
come into general circulation.
Not great while ago Inspector Law
renee, Of the United States treasury do
partme1lt, became aware that the al
minimum money was enjoying a circlla-
zion in Dakota and Minnesota, especially
IL the s:nalle" towns, in Greet violation
or the government law bearing on the
subject. The inspector made it the sub
jrrt Of Immediate ard thorough invcsti-
gation end located the manufacturer OF:
the greater part of it in the Northwest

urlng this aluminium money when he
became aware of the learth of the law

and for several large firms manufactured

purpose of making aluminium money, 50

though none, he claims. were of thu.

money made by the government mints.
They were made of the value Of l cent,

They arc not made to initiate the Or

Good for 50 cents,' etc, and on the 9th
er side the name of the firm using them
and the town in which it was located.
inspector Lawrence called upon the
Northwestern Stamp works. yesterday,
! and after an examination of the coin
and the machinery used in making it,
he instructed Mr.. Roussopolos to cease
their manufacture at once or suffer the
| penalty of the law. The president of
| the st. Paul company was astounded to
learn that he had been violatin the
law and protested tina; the stuff he was
making in no way resembled money and
| that he was not to blame if it gained
a general circulation. However, in view
| OF the inspectors orders, he will Cesist
| until he had conferred with the govern
! ment authorities.
