The Terms and Conditions for the Fight
Settled Upon.

The Terms and Conditions for the Fight
Settled Upon.
new YORK. Feb. 24.-While it is not
definitely known if Corbett and Mitchell
have signed articles for a fight, it is
known that match has been made that
is satisfactory to the principals and
hackers. Brady, who was acting for Cor
bett, and Mitchell have already come to
an agreement, and it is probable that the
articles were either signed yesterday
or today. Brady has already deposited
$4,000 with Dave Blanchard. Mitchell
also sent representative to Boston with
Brady to post his $4,000 stake. Mitchell
is not reluctant in saying that the fight
would surely and positively occur in De-
cember unless something now unknown
should prevent the meeting. Mitchell
said:
This time Brady and I have come to q final
settlement Eave not the remotest doubt that
the fight will take place, and that either Cor.
bett or Will be champion of the world before
many months. cannot say If the articles Of
agreement have been signed. have some re-
gard for American prisons. and il would not do
for ne to say already signed or intended to do
So.
Brady will go to Canada within a few
days and so will Mitchell. 1t may be that
Mitchell and Brady have signed a formal
agreement to meet in Canada. When
questioned on that point and asked what
will BE- the object of his going to Canada,
Mitchell said:
Only for a pleasure trip. Baird and / will
make a short tour Of the states and Canada We
will leave here on Monday and will probably
reach Canada on Tuesday or Wednesday. The
trip 10 for no other reason.

OLYHrrA, Feb. 24-rSpecial. r Regent
Smith testified before the agricultural col
lege investigating commission today. He
admitted that he charged in his expense
account while travelling on Official busi-
ness his expenditure for shaving and boot
blacking. He explained that while on one
such trip he lost nightshirt on q sleeping
car, and that he charged the price of new
one to the state, placing the amount in his
board bill items, though he made no pre-
tense that he ate it. In regard TO the ac-
cusation that he charged for more trips
from Tacoma to Pullman than there
were sessions of the board at
the latter place, he stated that his
additional visits to Pullman were on
college business. He admitted that he
sometimes road on passes, but refused to
say whether he ever paid out any money
for railway transportation, - charged in
his vouchers.
Smith went quite fully into the details
Of the transaction of the board Of regents
and of tho locating commission, and testi-
fled relative to his opposition to numerous
acts of tho regents. He stated that the
change in the presidency Of the college
was made for the improvement Of tho in
stitution. As . member of the locating
commission he voted for North Yakima.
and did not know anything about the
pledges said to have been exacted from
other members of the commission by
Laughton to locate the college in Whit
man county. Relative to the charge that
he had filed vouchers for expenses said to
have been incurred on dates when letters
written by him showed that he was not at
the places named in the vouchers, he
stated that he had probably made mis-
take in the dates of the voucher items.
Smith declared after the examination that
he felt much relieved to have the matter Of
giving testimony OF his mind.
Regent Lesh was also on the stand to-
day. He stated that he had voted for
President Lilley's removal because of re-
ports derogatory to him. though his
knowledge as to the charges was not pos
tive. He denied that the changes in
the faculty were made for political reasons
and said that the new professors were
strongly recommended. He stated that
he was not satisfied with the present con.
dition Of the school.

E. ,si;.1d GENES TO the I:'oEt with a
new invention of value \ Chelsea
manufacturer has brought out an inn
proved form of steam tree Telling and
crcSs-cutting machine The Duluth
Ncvs says that since the original
patent was taken out for these ma
chimes number have been sent to all
parts of the world. They are mounted
upon strong axle, supported on pair
of wheels of such Il diameter as to en-
able the saw to cut through the tree at
"a height of about three feet from the
ground. This skeleton carriage is fitted
with a pair of shafts, which renders it
easily transporoable through the for
est. After the tree is fclled the entire
machine can be partially rotated upon
its axis SO that by simply turning
hand wheel the saw can be set to cut in
vertical direction, or at any angle be-
tween the horizontal and vertical po-
sition. 1t generally happens, when
large tree falls, that it does not lie fat,
as its branches hold the upper part of
the trunk off the ground, and so, in
order to cross-cut trees lying in such
positions, it is necessary to incline the
saw somewhat from direct vertical
line, which is readily done by the ad-
justment. Again, in order to cross-cut
through Il high-lying trunk, it is neces-
sary to elevate the saw, or, on the other
hand, in the case of low-lying log, to
depress it. To effect this slotted stays
are attached to each shaft, being
pivoted to short stakes driven in the
ground. A strong bolt passing through
the shaft takes into the slot at each
stay, to which it can be instantly set
fast by means of nut furnished with
handle, and thus, by raising or de-
pressing the shafts, the saw can be set
at the required elevation to suit logs
lying in any position The machine, as
| originally constructed, would fell an
| oak tree ten feet in girth in three or
four minutes and cross-cut it afterward
| in about two minutes, but it is expected
that in its improved form even quicker
| work is possible.
