JAcKsoN.s OFFER TO CoRBErr.

Pete, Will Fight Jim II Mitchell Fails
to Appear At tho Ringside.
SAN Francisco. March 13-Peter Jack
son today sent a letter to Jim Corbett, in
which he calls attention to Corbett's re-
cent reply to his challenge. in which Cor
bett said that if Mitchell did not appear at
the ringside on the day of their fight next
December Jackson could take his place.
Jackson then declares that this PROPOSE
ton ''looks like bluff" but he accepts it
on the following terms:
Both Corbett and Jackson to deposit
5000, Jackson to cancel his theatrical en-
gagement three months previous to the
date of the Corbett- Mitchell fight to go
into training and be at the ringside on
that date. Then if Mitchell does not ap-
pear Jackson will bet $4,000 and all the
purse that he can defeat Corbett. If
Mitchell should appear Corbett is to for
felt 5000 for Jackson's loss of time and
training expenses, and Jackson to forfeit
5000 should he himself fail to appear at
the ringside.
Parson Davies, Jackson's manager and
hacker. states that Jackson will fight Cor
bett for $780, 600 side without any purse if

NEW YORK, March 13-Pugil,sm is done
tor in New Orleans. Fitzsimmons will not
get his $37. 600, but he will get $4,000 or
$40. 600 in cash, all that is available, and
good paper for the balance. There will be
no more contests in the Crescent Club
ring, and perhaps no more in that of the
Olympic Club. though the Bowen-Burke
match ~is scheduled for the first week in
April. The clubs will go at general ath-
letlcs and rowing. and die unless their
social sides are strong enough to bear the
financial loss Of such shows, which have
long ago ceased to pay in richer towns
than New Orleans. The women Of the
city are organizing an Anti-Pugilistic
League. as they did the Anti-Lottery
League, and the leading papers editorially
denounce the contests. The next legisla-
ture does not meet until May. 1894, and
the city authorities are with the clubs,
both Presidents Noel and Dickson being
members of the city council. But it is
probable that neither club will fly in the
face of public opinion, and that pugilism
in New Orleans is done.
Fitzsimmons and his friends reached q
settlement with the club this evening.
Both sides refused to announce the nature
of the settlement. but it is understood that
Fitzsimmons was given the greater por-
ton of the purse in cash and took we'll
secured notes for the remainder.

from further proceedings in the case of

THE CALIFORNIA CAPITAL.

Tho Assembly Refuses to Recede From
Its Vote In Favor Of San Jose.
SACRAMENTO, March 13.-The assembly
today refused to reconsider the vote
whereby the constitutional amendment
removing the state capital from Sacra-
mento to San Jose was adopted. The
amendment has already been adopted by
the senate and now goes to the people to
be voted upon. The adoption Of the
amendment by the legislature was . sur
prise to the whole state, - the question
had not been mentioned at this session.
The amendment was sprung in the senate
late Saturday night and was Immediately
adopted by both houses.
The prime cause for the legislatures
action was an article which appeared in
the Sacramento Bee Saturday evening.
Across the whole front page of the Bee was
the heading, in large tyne, THANK God,
the session now is almost over" Another
heading was 1.-THE session is nearing the
tick of its doom and Sacramentoans should
all be joyful" At first, the adoption Of
the amendment removing the capital was
regarded as joke, but San Jose took it in
earnest and quickly agreed to raise
81. O0O. 600 to build new capital, besides
donating ten acres of land for site.
