DISAPPOINTED SPORTS

GOVERNOR MITcHELIs ACTION
He Flatly Refuses to Grant the Club
an Application for a
Charter.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Jacksonville, Dec. 22.-The Duval
Athletic Club received set back today
in it's efforts to pull off the Corbett-
Mitchell fight. The attorney for the
club appeared before Governor Mitchell
at Tallahassee and made an application
for charter. This the governor fatty
refused, stating that under cover of q
charter the club proposed to violate the
laws Of FLORIDA This proved bcmb
to the sports, and their CONSERVATION
was rather increased by the knowledge
that a strong letter against the fight
was written by the governor to j. 4.
Tysen, a prominent gentleman of this
city. The letter says: II will use all
lawful means should 1t be necessary "
prevent the fight, and to bring to pun
ishment every person who aids OF abets
any such disgraceful breach of the laws
A proclamation to all sheriffs of the
state calling upon them to use all law
full means to prevent the fight, and
PROMISING the aid of the entire civil and
military force of the state in the proper
execution of the order has been issued -
When the above letter was shown to
]. e. Bowden, of the Athletic Club, he
said Had l not been assured by cur
lawyers that there was no legislation
against such a contest; had not known
by personal canvass of the city that
we had public sentiment with us; had
not Governor MitcheA's silence given
me reason to suppose he would inter-
pose no objection, l would never have
gone into the matter but now am in
to it, | must remain in 1t to the end
This question: continued Bowden,
does not involve nght, the governor
and his remonstrance to the contrary
Notwithstanding. 1t has never been ad-
vertised, never been contracted for as
fight, but as a scientific glove con-
test for points. l am one of the most
largely interested, but should the decis-
ion of the courts be against us, the
matter will be at an end, so far as /
am concerned"

THE GREAT LOG RAFT
The Greater Part Of it Lost
Off Humboldt Bar.
UTTER FAILURE OF THE PROJECT
The Logs Drifting about in all Di-
rectiOns along the Cali
fOrnia Shore.
TIER FAILURE OF THE PROJECT
Associated Press.

Eureka, Cal, Dec. 22.-Capt. Higgins,
master of the steamer Excelsior, which
arrived today, brought the news that
the Marshfield raft, which the National
City endeavored to tow from Coos Bay
to San Francisco, had gone to pieces.
Wednesday night the Excelsior set out
from San Francisco TO look for the raft,
if necessary to render the steamer
National City aid in getting to San
Francisco. Captain Higgins sighted the
raft fifteen miles straight off the coast
from Humboldt bar. There was then
only one-third of the raft under con-
troll. Wednesday night the raft pro-
ceeded successfully as far as Cape
Mendocino, when a terrible gale came
up and the raft went to pieces slowly
and began drifting northwards. Cap
tain Manson followed, and when the
Excelsior found him this morning two
thirds of the raft of logs were floating
promiscuously, gradually going ashore
along the COAST from Table Bluff to
Trinadad. Captain Manson will stay by
the portion of the raft now intact until
it goes ashore. The dangerous objects
floating about make it necessary for
the National City to warn passing ves-
sells to prevent disasters. 1t is now
evident the project of transporting logs
by raft will never prove successful un-
less the weather is phenomenally mild.

A Plan to Carry OF Baby Ruth From
the White House.

Abilene, Kansas, Dec. 22.-The two
letters which were picked up on the
street here yesterday by country
woman have been handed to the police.
One was from Topeka, dated December
10, and says: 1--WE have concluded to
make a job of the White House busi-
ness. 1t means thousands to us to get
the child Ruth, and we will get her,
too, in January" The other was OF
earlier date, from Minneapolis, and it
said: I'VE have everything ready for
the White House, and will send Grover
to Hades when the bugle sounds. We
will about get our $4,000. We have
never failed in our jobs, and won't now.
There is much more in the houses of
the gold-bugs and Vanderbilt" The

call every day-men OF some inpor-

with either of the inagnates. They inva-
rfably find themselves turned over TO the
mercy of some subordinate. On many
days John ID. Rockefeller does not see
half q dozen out of all the men who
come primed for an interview with
him. Nearly all his moves are made
through suberdinates An instance of
this was given last winter when the

tically went into bankruptcy and sold
its vessels. A practically unknown
man made the running when the vessels
were sold at auction, and finally bid

Take them all in all they are the sort
of men whom wealth in no way changes.
They are the same men today that they
were when they were struggling for
wealth In Western Pennsylvania and
