New YORK, September 27.-While
Police Supt. Byrnes will not admit that
he is after Charles Mitchell, the Eng
lish pugilist in having violated the law
in having signep articles with Coroett
in this city, it is generally believed
among sporting men that he will get
his hands on Mitchell II he can ma a
reasonable semblance OF proVocatlon.
1t is known tnat the Superintendent Is
not in love with the Englishmen De-
cause OF any personal characteristics
and the interference is but atural that
il Mr.. Byrnes can bother the fighter he
will Jump at the opportunity. In fact
it looks very much as though he were
now jumping. Whether he can catch
his man or not is another question. 1t
will be very hard to prove
that the Englishmon signed
the articles in this city, At the time
be is alleged to have done so nobody
was present excepting himself and
Judge Newton. This pair left the crowd
OF reporters aud others who had gone
to the hotel to see what was done and
adjourned to a private room. When
they came out again they both said that
the terms OF the document had been
agreed to, but no outsider witnessed
The process. 1t is scarcely likely that
either man will admit so much now, and
Judge Newton will doubtless guard the
document with a closeAess that will
prevent an opportunity for any inqulsi-
tive person from getting a look at Nit
chelps name. Corbett has seen the
signature, it is said, but he can scarcely
be considered q competent expert on
the identity Of the Englishman's chiro-
grRpby.
