JACKSONVILLE. Dec. 29.-The big fight.
according to the newly formulated
plans, will occur the morning Of Janu-
ary 25th. Manager Bowden is prepar-
| ing for emergencies. He is satisfied the
decision OF the court in which the ques-
tion of legality will be tried. will be in
their favor, and the club intends giving
Governor Mitchell a run for his money.
At a meeting held this afternoon the
club decided upon this move. The con-
test will take place at ii O'Clock the
morning OF January 25th. 1t is thought
it will be an advantage to the specta-
tors; both in the matter OF light and
means Of transportation to the arena.
The club decided, If the decision made
by the criminal court Monday next de-
clares that the arrests of Corbett and
Mitchell have been illegal, to go ahead
AID pull off the fight, no matter what
the conseq may be. The COVER
nor has declared that he will not abide
by the decision OF the criminal court,
but it is thought he will be obliged to do
so.
Both pugilists have left the city,
Mitchell going to st. Augustine and
Corbett to Maypo-t. No heavy work
will be done by either until tomorrow,
when Corbett will resume training and
the Englishman begin his first hard
work in the state.
THE GOVERNORS sTUBBoRNNEss.
1t is said the governor insists that the
proposed fight is in violation of the law,
and declares that it shall not come off
unless the supreme court decides the
contest legal. 1t is believed the gov
ernor knows the decision will be
against its legality.
A dispatch from Tampa says the gov
ernor stated most positively tonight:
'The fight will not come off in Florida"
He says he has plans for preventing it,
and at the proper moment will act. He
is further quoted as saying: "I regard
the proposed fight as against the peace
and dignity of the state, and my deter
mination to prevent it is fixed"
ONE OF MITCHELL's TRAINERS.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 29.--Tom Allen
leaves the city in few days for Florida
to aid in preparing Mitchell for his fight
with Oorbett. The retired champion is
an enthusiastic backer OF Mitchell and
predicts he will win. Mitchell's forte,
he says. is in-fghting and when matters
mix, the Englishman will be cure to
make straight for the Californian's
stomach. Allen expects the fight not
to begin really until the twelfth or if
teenth round. each man waiting to size
up his opponent.
AN OFFER FROM CRIPPLE CREEK.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., Dec. 29.-The
following telegram was sent to Corbett
and Mitchell this afternoon:
Seventy gold-producing mines in this
camp authorize US to offer you purse
of $25. 900 in gold bullion to bring the

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 29.--A reporter
visited the Howard mansion, on st.
Charles avenue, Immediately after the
receipt of the news of the result of the
Prendergast trial. Miss Anne Howard,
the bereaved fiancee OF the assassinated
mayor of Chicago, wac too weak to be
seen, as she is JUST recovering from a
severe attack of grip. The first intima-
tion that Frank 7. Howard had of the
verdict was when reporter visited him

have found the lawyers Of
New Orleans were almost unsn-
imous in the opinion that the as
sassin would be acquitted. This opin-
ion was based upon the theory that he
was insane. They must have imagined
that this sentimental plea. go effectual
here, could be similarly utilized in Chi
cago. fail to see why q man guilty of
such horrible crime, even though he
be sdjudged insane. should be spared
any more than anyone else. Prender-
gast is not insane. After committing
the crime he made all possible haste to
deliver himself up, in mortal terror lest
vengeance aroused in the incensed peo-
pie would be visited upon him. DR..
Lyman subsequently remarked to me
that this in itself was sufficient to dis
prove insanity

OPINION AT WASHINGTON.

What Illinois Statesmen Think of the
Prendergsst Verdict.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Among the
members of the Illinois delegation the
result of the Prendergast trial was dis
cussed freely and was generally COM
mended.
Vice President Stevenson, speaking oil
the verdict, said "a verdict of guilty
was universally expected. l am not fa-
miliar with the expert testimony ad-
duced regarding the defendants sanity,
but his crime WAS a cold-blooded one
and shocked the entire country. l speak
rather warmly because Harrison was my
personal friend. The verdict seems to
be just"
Representative J. Frank Aldrich, when
informed of the verdict, said: NINETY
nine out OF every hundred expected the
verdict. / am not in the least surprised
at the finding of the jury. 1 have fol-
lowed the case in the papers very closely
and am convinced there were no grounus
for clemency. The defense certainly
made no csee OF insanity, and my con
victions would have to be very materi-
ally changed if were to say anything
against the verdict
Representative Lane said; "The ver-
dict expresses nay sentiments. l endorse
it fully. There ia no question as to
Prendergast's guilt"
Representative John S. Black eaid:
II speak not as a lawyer, for l have not
followed the testimony in the case, but
as citizen, having formed some i'm
pressions from what | have read and
heard. l should say the verdict is
righteous, and that the II men who sat
on the jury arrived at the correct con-
olusion."
Secretary of State Gresham said he
had not been closely following the
newspaper reports of the trial, and
therefore declined to express an opinion
of the result.
Chief Justice Fuller asked to be ex-
cused from expressing An opinion on the
case. 1t is not impossible that the case
may be carried to the United States su-
Preme court, and the chief justice prob.
ably did not want to pase judgment on a
case which may afterward come before
him officially.

The Chicago Inter-Oceau Says the YER
dict Is Justifiabte.
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The ter-Ocean
says: mo one who has followed the
case could have expected any other re-
suit, and the public generally will ap-
prove the verdict. The only question
raised was as to the murderer's sanity,
and the defense utterly failed to make
him out a lunatic-that is, crank
in the ordinary acceptation of the term.
That his mind is constitutionally de-
fective ie no doubt true, but the object
of punishment is to protect society, and
there is today no greater menace to hu-
man life than the so-called cianks."
The Times Gays: "Prendergast's con.
viction deals fatal blow to the plea of
criminal lawyers, backed up by opinion
ated physicians, that eccentricity is
a complete defense to the charge OF
murder. 1t is hoped now that the
sentence of the court may be speedily
executed. Let demonstration be made
that the courts OF Illinois will not con-
nive at prolonging the worthless life of
a red-handed murderer by entertaining
dilatory motions or by being hsmpered
by the peculiarities of certain sort of
criminal law"

hearty congratulations, Preston Harri-
son being one of the first to thank
Trude for his efforts.
Before announcing the verdict, the
jurymen agreed not to make public the
occurrences in the jury room. and alter
their dismiesal they positively refused
to talk. From court official, however,
it is learned the jury were unanimously
in favor of the death sentence.
ATTORNEY TRUDE TALKS.
In an interview tonight Attorney
Trude said: "The conviction of this
man will, in my opinion, operate as a
deterrent against the commission of
like crimes by notoriety- flowing cranks.
Since the trial OF Prendergast has been
In progress cranks have arisen all over
the country threatening mayors, chiefs
of departments and men of means. This
verdict will operate as life insurance
policy on their safety. A verdict of ac-
ouittal on the ground OF insanity would
be the sowing OF dragons teeth, and
threatened mayors and others would be
in danger of losing their lives"
THE MURDERED MAYORS FAMILY.
The members of the late mayors fam
lily were apparently expecting such a
verdict as was given, and seemed to de-
rive little satisfaction from the fact that
the murderer was to die for his crime,
feeling only that justice had been done.
Carter II. Harrison, jr., one of the pro-
prietors of the Times, in discussing the
verdict, said:
81 am not surprised at the verdict,
because to my mind there has never
20 IL,
legal responsibility when he committed
the act. | think hanging verdict will
have a beneficial effect upon the vast
army who seek notoriety by deeds OF vi
olence or by threatening men occupying
high positions"
THE CULPRIT's RETIcENcE.
''Please ssk the gentleman to excuse
me. would prefer not TO see or talk
with anybody tonight" This was the
verbal response OF Prendergast as he sat
in bis cell tonight to q written message
to the effect that an Associated Press re-
porter would be pleased to receive any
statement Prendergast might be dis
posed to make. The reporter who sent
in the message followed Night Jailer
Foltz into the cage and heard the reply
as above spoken in clear, calm tone,
very much as any man might decline to
be interviewed.
THE DEATH WATCH.
Prendergrast, when removed from the
court room, was placed in cell No. IL,
facing the visitors cage. just inside
the cell be sat, while outside was posted
the death watch. Ii the prisoner had
any conception of the real significance
OF this extra watch he gave no sign.
He appeared perfectly at ease, with no
trace of excitement, distress or anxiety
upon his forbidding features, having had
five hours to regain his composure since
the verdict was rendered. A few min
utes after he was placed in the cell, his
brother, John Prsndereast, was ad-
mitted. The brothers grssped hands !
and neither spoke for time. Then |
John said: 'Don't lose hope, Gene; we |
will do all we can for you."
Later the asssssin's 3 lawyers called and |
did what they could to cheer him up.
Tomorrow Prendergast will be given
cell in the murderer's row, and will |
have for his nearest neighbors Painter
and Higgins, two men under death SEN
tence for murder.

NEW YoRK, Dec, 30.--A special to the
Herald from Rome says: A high per-
sonage OF the Vatican in an interview
today said: ''The relations between
the pope and the car are at this mo-
ment very much strained. In July last
the pope wrote the car an autograph
letter in which he complained of the
prosecutions against Roman Catholics
in Poland. 1t was written in a very
sharp way. Leo XIII declared to
the czar that if the prosecutions did not
cease, he would be compelled to protest
eolemnly in the face of Europe against
the intolerance of the czar. The czar
became frightened and has just sent to
Rome the Catholic Bishop Of Tirsspol,
persona grata at St. Petersburg, to
speak good word to the pope and dis
suade him from putting his project into
execution"
