NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Agreement was
signed tonight by Billy Thompson, rep
resenting Charles Mitchell, the English
pugilist, and w. A. Brady, representing
James ]. Corbett, which will probably
have the effect of bringing off the big
international fight in Ne7y Orleans. 1t
looks after all as if the Olympic club Of
the Crescent City would secure the
event.
The representatives of the fighters, ac-
companied by Ike Thompson and George
w. Welty met in the World office, and
in consultation with the sporting editor
Of that paper drew up the articles of
agreement, which were subsequently
signed All parties mean business.
The meeting was consequent upon the
receipt of letter from Secretary w. H.
Ross of the Olympic club. inclosed with
which were articles of agreement very
similar to those substituted by the prin-
cipals during last nights conference.
The proposition forwarded by Mr.. Ross,
however, allowed no expense allowance
for training, taking into consideration
the fact that the Olympic club origin
ally offered a purse of 5000. COrbett
and Mitchell think that they have not
asked too much in calling for $4,000
apiece for training guarantee and de-
Quoting that amount from the purse.
The situation is clearly explained in
the letter sent last night to New Orleans
with the new articles Of agreement. 1t
is as follows:
''TNo w. H. Ross, Secretary Of the Olym-
pic Club, New Orleans:
Dear Sir-Yours sent to James ].
Corbett inclosing articles for a contest
at the Olympic club received today and
in answer we inclose a set of articles
which have been duly drawn up, agreed
to and signed by our representatives,
which articles cover what we consider
an equitable arrangement, and we de-
sire to state that this is positively our
ultimatum, and an agreement aside
from the inclosed one has been entered
into tonight between Messrs. Corbett
and Mitchell whereby, if you do not
accept the inclosed articles on or before
Thursday, Nov g. and notify us by wire
of your acceptance, that these articles
shall become null and void.
Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Corbett require
five more weeks to prepare. The date
is left optional with you as long as 1t Is
on or after Dec. Is, 1898. We trust that
you VIII not COuSlueT the guar dAAlCS
clauses extOrtiOnate. You know your
club offered US a purse Of $4,000, which
you agreed to pay in case the Coney
Island club was unable to fulfill its con-
tract, and as both of the contracting
parties to this agreement have been put
to very great .eXpense-viz., Mitchelfs
trip from England with his two trainers
and his expense during his stay in New
York and whereabouts and Corbetts eX-
pensive training since Aug. 1--we both
agree that under the circumstances and
the condition Of affairs which we under
stand exists in New Orleans, in justice
to ourselves we are averse to taking any
more chances; and as it is stated that
you are willing to pay both of the mems
training expenses whether or not the
contest takes place, we submit these

A peculiarly pathetic reminder of the
dead mayor came into view Immediately
following the great black and golden
hearse-a thoroughbred mare, saddled
and bridled, but riderless. In many a

sands of people had seen the dashing
mayor press forward on that same thor

public men would dare. To see the no.

A Hawaiian Gable.

As a question of public policy,
the Chronicle is of opinion, as it
has said before, that if submarine
cable between the United States
and the Hawaiian Kingdom is ne
cessary for the purposes of our
Government, the United States
should lay it at the public cost,
the necessary funds being appro-
priated directly by Congress. The
experiment of divided control
could hardly succeed, for in such
cases the advantage is always with
the private corporation interested.
At the same time if Congress
wants to defeat the subsidy scheme
it should do so in straightforward
way, and not by letting that fos-
SLICED old humbug Celso Caesar
Moreno interfere and complicate
matters by an attempt to secure
a renewal of an old charter
which was granted in 1876, and
which expired without any ac-
ton being taken under it. Moreno
has been in obscurity for some
time, and he seems to come to the
surface as a mischief-maker, for
certainly no member of Congress
who ever knew or who is at all
familiar with his record could be
induced to do anything at his re-
quest.
There is something to be said for
the Government ownership and
control of a Hawaiian telegraph
particularly in case of the
possible acquisition of the kingdom
by the United States. That con-
is very remote, but the
of the islands is not an
utter impossibility, and should it
come about the uses of the cable
would be manifest. At all events
the subject should be debated and
decided on its merits, and not be
permitted to be confused with any
played-out schemes of such a char
latan as Celso Cesar Moreno

ELIZABETH, Nj, Dec. 12.-The
new practice cruiser Bancroft had
a preliminary trial trip to-day and
the test was entirely satisfactory.
The Government only requires Il
knots per hour with 100 pounds of
steam. The vessels screw made
202 revolutions per minute, and
she developed a speed of ~ clio
knots. The vessel will carry 100
pounds of steam, and her screw
can make 240 revolutions, which
will give 4 speed of IA knots per
hour. If the Bancroft does this on
the Government trial, her builders
will get $4,000 in excess of their
contract price.
1t is reported that two vessels of
Admiral Gherardi's squadron, now
at Valparaiso, will be retained in
the Pacific, owing to the unsettled
condition of affairs on the west
coast of South America. The con-
dition in Hawaii and Samoa may
also be taken into consideration.
1t is certain that the ships are
likely to be more needed in look
ing after our interests on the Pac-
ific Coast than in taking part in a
parade in New York Harbor.-Ex.
United States District Judge
Morrow has rendered an opinion
that the payment of advance
wages to seamen is one of the great
evils of the merchant marine SER
vice, and the purpose of Congress
is neither obscure nor uncertain. It
clearly intended to prohibit the
of advance wages in every
case except where the employment
is on whaling vessel. The seamen
on the ship Eclipse at San Francis
co who brought suit for their wages
in full, are entitled to recover.
