CORBETT-MITCHELL MATCH.
They Fall Out Over q Minor Hitch. but Both
Men Have Now Agreed to Fight.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Charlie Mitchell has
made public declaration that he will not
meet William A. Brady, Corbett's manager,
In Canada, Saturday, to sign articles.
despite the fact that he gave his word that
he would. This afternoon he said that he
now wants the $4,000 stake money depos-
lted In New Orleans. Before Mitchell left
the Gedney House, this afternoon, he
issued letter in which he says. in
substance. that he came to this
country for no other purpose than to fight
Corbett In order 70 complete arrange
ments for the fight he has conceded point
after point to Corbett simply to convince
the public that he was anxious to fight.
After conceding practically everything, he
saws the police threaten to arrest if the
deposit of $4,000 is made or the
articles signed. Mitchell says he
is not anxious to be sacrificed
OF statutes against pugilistic encounters.
He remarks that there was no agitation
against prize-ighting until he came TO this
country. and proposes that Corbett meet
him In some State where articles may be
signed without transgressIng the laws. To
this end he suggests New Orleans. The
statement that Mitchell desires the money
posted in New Orleans has caused con-
sternation among the managers of the
Coney Island Athletic Club, as 1t virtually
means that Mitchell wants to fight in
Louisiana and not in the North. 1t Is said
that Corbett will insist upon fighting be-
fore the Coney Island Club. Brady. it Is
said, will drop Mitchell and make Q match
with Peter jackson on Monday.
Later il was said that Judging from latest
Developments the Mitchell Corbett fight
will take place. William A. Brady, Cor
belts manager. and Mitchell, accompanied
y. f.hs rrA ho hAdn Az
House, tonight and had a conference The
result of this conference was that, both
men agreed TO the fight, and to do away
with ell further chickering's. the articles
of agreement will most likely be signed In
private and not at New Orleans or In Can.

From Topelyn 20 KapapolIs.

TOPEKA. Kan, Feb 23.-The Dunsmoro Popu-
list House to-day removed" the State capital to
Annapolis in exactly two minutes. The resolu-
ton was offered by Mr.. Hair, the contestant
member from Kiowa, and in 100 seconds 1t had
received the sanction of the House, although
some members, who were opposed to it, after
ward protested, saying the resolution was rail-
roaded through with indecent haste. The reso-
luton rectes that the capital lie now located
near the eastern border; that western counties
have been DISTINGUISHED by Republican rule. for
the purpose of holding the capital at Topeka;
that the conduct of the citizens OF Topeka recent
iy has been in defiance OF the wishes OF the
people OF the state and that the kanapolis
people have offered to duplicate the present
statehouse, without expense to the State. and
declare that, as soon as practicable, lawful
steps shall be taken to remove the capital TO
that city.
Late last night tho Senate adopted q resolution
declaring that the Supreme Court has no Jurls-
diotiOn In the House muddle that the State Con-
etitutiOn provides leach house shall be the judge
OF its election returns and qualification OF its own
members" and that the courts action in assuming
authority To take up the case was unwarranted.
The Republicans Of the Senate did oil in their
power TO prevent the passage OF the bill. but the
POpultsts prevailed by reason of numbers. This
action partially confirms the general belief that
the POpulists will ignore the decision OF the
Supreme Court should it be adverse to the Pop
ulist House.
