THE NAvIEs OF EUROPE.
Ex-Secretnry Tracy Thinks Mr.. Glad
stone Is Mistaken.

NEW YORK, Dec 20.-An Associated
Press reporter called on Gen. Benjamin
F. Tracy. ex-secretary Of the navy, to-
day and read cablegTam from Lon
don in reference to what Mr.. Gladstone
said about him in reply to Lord George
Hamilton when the latter quoted Mr.
Tracy as having said that England
would require to be building nineteen
battleships within the next two years
in order to maintain her position"
The London Globes defense Of Mr.
Tracy against Mr.. Gladstones attack
was also read to the general. While the
reporter was reading the eX-secretary
laughed heartily and in reply to the re-
pOrter's query he said:
well, don't see that the matter calls
for any comment on my part as ! think
the Globe has done that for me. How
ever, L viii say that if Mr. Gladstone
studies the condition of the French and
Russian nayies he will learn, If he is
not already aware of ii, that I am right
in the statement which Lord George
Hamilton quotes. Two years from now
France and Russia will have, combined,
fifty modern battleships of 10000 tons
displacement against England's thir-
ty-one of 1874, 900 tons displacement. Now,
Mr.. Gladstone can figure for himself if
England's thirty-one are superior to the
fifty | have spoken Of. l see Mr.. Glad
stone says that the material of the En-
glish navy is superior to that of France
and Russia 1 differ with him, as 1 be
heve that the French battleships are SUI
perior to the English both in guns and
armOr."
LONDON, Dec 2O.-Some surprise is
expressed today at Mr. Gladstone's refer
ence IN the house of commons yesterday
evening to Gen. Tracy, eX-secretary Of
United States navy. According to the
full report of last nights debate, pub
lished today, Mr.. Gladstone said:
Il really do not know why Lord
George Hamilton should quote Secretary
Tracy, whose name is no more sacred
in my eyes than any other name. What
means that gentleman had Of examining
the case 1 don't know
Lord George Hamilton here interposed.
saying:
Gen, Tracy for four years was secre-
tary Of the United States navy"
To this Mr.. Gladstone replied:
Then it seems To me that he cor
responds a little with Lord George
Hamilton, only not quite so good. I do
not suppose that Gen. Tracy acquired
such knowledge that the whole parlia-
ment has to defer TO the opinion he sent
US across the Atlantic"

PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
The Sports Confident That the Contest
VIII Come on.

The Sports Confident That the Contest
VIII Come on.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 23.-In
spite Of Governor NIitcheI's expressed
determination to prevent the Corbett-
Mitchell fight, the men who are trying
to bring about the contest are going
ahead with their preparations. Work on
the arena is being pushed and everything
Will soon be in readiness for the contest.
A w Cockerill, attorney for the DuvaH
athletic club, expressed the opinion to
the Southern Associated Press cor
respondent today that there was no law
in the Florida statute books by which
Governor Mitchell could stop the con-
test.
What the governor intends to do next
no one knows. He is at Tampa now and
will not return to Tallahassee until after
the holidays.
The Southern Associated Press cor
respondent visited Mayport today and
inspected Corbett after he had undergone
his first weeks training. Corbett was
found in the dressing room stretched
upon the rubbing-down table, and stand
ing over him were Delaney, Prof Don
aldson and Tom Corbett, all OF whom
were imparting to the body Of the cham
pion that friction supposed to be neces-
sary to good condition. Corbett's mus
cles stood out in magnificent relief and
his skin glowed with the hue Of perfect
health. He had just finished wrestling
with McVey and his knees, elbows and
collar-bOne showed the abrasions re-
ceived in the struggle. As the alcohol
touched these the champions face would
be distorted into a grimace of pain from
the sTnarting, but he explained that they
would soon become hardened to the work.
Corbett's first work this morning was
with the dumb bells, then came break
fast and fOur-mile spin up the beach
and back. After a rundown he punched
the bag for half an hour and then put
on the gloves for bout with Donald
son. Then came dinner, and in the af-
ternoon the champion INDUCED in pool
and hand ball. He seems to be getting
fit rapidly and there is no doubt, if no
mischance occurs, that he will enter the
ring fit to fight for his life.
In a talk this morning with Billy
Thompson it was learned that Mitchells
manager had finally decided that his
principal will give an exhibition at the
opera house on his arrival here. Thomp-
son this morning received a letter from
Mitchell at Boston, saying that on &C
count of some necessary purchases to
be made in New York on Monday morn
ing he will not leave Philadelphia for
Jacksonville until 6:55 on Monday even
ing. This will put him in this city
about 3 o'clock Tuesday night. On
Thursday morning he will probably go
to his training quarters and remain
there until the contest. Both Mitchell
and Thompson say If the contest ends
before the tenth round the verdict will
be given to Mitchell. but if it lasts
longer there is no telling when it will
end

MINERS IN DEADLY PERIL.
Two Hundred Men Caught in a Burn
ing Pit.

MINOK. ILL.,, Dec 21.-At o'clock
this afternoon fire. which is still burn
ing in the mine operated by the Chicago
& Minok coal and mining company, held
200 miners in deadly peril Of their lives
All of them made their escape and but
few We're injured The man most seri-
ously hurt is George ErbIand, who caused
the disaster. He is desperately burned
and his chance of recovery is slight.
Erbland started the fire by attempting
to light his torch while standing near a
large can of kerosene. The gas from the
oil famed up as Erbland lit his torch,
and in his efforts to extinguish the flames
he upset the can Of kerosene, which at
once gave the flames great impetus.
The fire spread with an appalling rapid
~, and for time it seemed as though
the men in the shaft must perish.
Two hundred men were at the bot
tom of the saft and the fire was spread
ing furiOusly The widest kind of rumOrs
were afoat and panic prevailed around
the mouth of the shaft, where the fami-
lies Of the imprisoned miners and 9TH
ers attracted by the disaster had formed
a large crowd. It was found that there
was not sufficient hose to reach sufficient
ly far down the shaft to be Of use in ex-
tinguishing the flames. and the Illinois
Central at once dispatched an engine to
Eureka, a few miles away, for more hose
II came within a remarkably short
time, and two gallant fellows at once
made an attempt to descend the shaft
The smoke, however, was pouring out in
such dense clouds that the men were
dragged back half suffOcated, and two
others at once seized the hose and
started down. They were drawn back
nearly dead
A third attempt was made with no bet
ter success. and it was then seen that
unless the men succeeded in escaping
through the Ventilating shafts their
hope Of life was gone. There are three
ventilating shafts, one north, one north
east and one northwest of the main
shaft To these the men in the mine had
rushed, crazed with fear, burned with
falling embers and choked and blind
ed by the smoke which was rapidly fill
ing the mine. Fortunately every man
reached the foot of one of the three
ventilating shafts and was quickly
drawn TO the surface.
At midnight the fire Is still burning
and is absolutely beyond control The
only way of eXtinguishlng the flames
will be to flood the mine, and this may
be done tomorrow. 1t is impossible to-
night to approximate the amount Of
damage done.

THE FIGHT MAY NOT OCCUR
PLAIN LETTER WRITTEN ny Gov
ERNOR MITCHELL OF FLORIDA.
He States That He VIII Use All Law
full Means TO Prevent the Disgrace
full Breach of the Laws-What Mr..
BOwden Says for Himself.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 22.-The
Duvall athletic club received a setback
today in its effort to pull off the Cor
bett- Mitchell fight. The attorney for the
club appeared before Governor Mitchell
at Tallahassee and made application for
a charter. This the governor fatty re-
fused, stating that under cover of the
charter the club proposed to disobey
the laws of Florida.
OF course this proved a bomb to the
sports and their CONSERVATION was fur
Their increased by the knowledge that
strong letter against the fight had been
written by the governor to J. r. Ty-
son, a prominent gentleman of this city.
The letter is as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
"TALLAHASSE Fla, Dec. q, 1893.
Mr. ]. r. Tyson, Jacksonville, Fla:
Dear Sir-I am directed by the gov
ernor to acknowledge the receipt of your
favor of the 18th inst. and express to
you his appreciation of Endorsement of
the course he had from the first an
nouncement of an attempt to procure
this prize-fight to be held at Jackson
vile resolved upon. He will use all law
full means, should it be necessary, to
prevent the fight and to bring TO punish
ment every person who aids or abets
any such disgraceful breach of laws. a
proclamation to all the sheriffs Of the
state, calling upon them to use all law
full means to prevent the fight, and
promising them the aid of the entire
civil and military force of the state in
the proper execution of his order, has
been issued and he relies upon all good
and law-abiding citizens to aid him and
the sheriffs in the enforcement Of the
laws of our state. Yours respectfully,
Cd. J. LANG, Private Secretary"
When the above letter was shown J. Z.
G. Bowden Of the athletic club he said:
Had I not been assured by our law
yers that there was no legislation against
such a contest; had 1 not known by a
personal canvass Of the city that we had
the public sentiment with us; had not
MitchelPs silence given me reason to
suppose that he would interpose no OBJ
lection, I would never have gone into
the matter. But now I am into it, and
/ must remain in 1t to the end. This
question" continued Bowden, does not
involve a fight, the governor and the re-
mOnstrance TO the contrary notwith-
standing. 1t has never been advertised
never been contracted for as a fight,
but as a scientific glove contest for
points We fully realize that Governor
Mitchell IS sincere in his attitude on the
contest, but we don't believe that when
out courts shall have decided this mat
ter which will be very soon that he will
abrogate to himself any authority in the
premises or interpose his interference. L
am one of the most largely interested,
but should the decision be against us
should il be shown that any law exists
-~Heaw
be at an end so far as l am concerned.
In that case there would be no contest
and 1 should abide by the decision Of the
courts
