JACKSON IN GOOD CONDITION.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Peter Jackson
was examined and measured by DR..
John Wilson Gibbs to-day. Jackson was
in good physical condition except slight
cold. Comparison Of the measurements
shows that Corbett has better size OF BIZ
ceps, and Jackson has the largest chest
and greater expansion. Corbett has al
ways been considered to have long
reach, but it is small compared to Peters.
DR.. Gibbs examined the pugilist to see if
there were traces of blood disease, but
found none. Jackson did not have much
superfluous flesh, and DR.. Gibbs re-
marked that he would not have to take
much to get into condition. Peter could
not tell at what weight he would fight,
perhaps l95 pounds. Jackson regards
himself in perfect condition.

DETECTIVES WATCHING LEEK,

Chief Crowley WIN Place Him Under
Arrest as Soon as He Can be Moved.
SAN Francisco, March 9.-Chief Crow
ley has deemed it advisable in view of
the singular circumstances surrounding
the death of Miss Aldersley to place Dr.
J. j. Leek under arrest, and in conse-
quence two detectives now have the con-
valescing dentist under their watchful
eyes.
DIR. Bowers still insists in keeping the
police and reporters from seeing his pa
tient, who, he says, however, will be able
70 talk to them in another day. DR.. Lo-
gan, who has been associated with DIR.
Bowers in the case, is authority for the
statement that their patient has been con-
iciouS Tor two days, Notwithstanding DR..
Bowers statement to the contrary.
In fact, the discrepancies between the
stories told by the two medical gentle
men have been the main reason for Chief
Crowley establishing a watch over Dr..
Leek, and although the Chief has not
spoken outright, he has strongly init
mated that as soon as DIR. Leek can be
safely moved he will be transferred to the
City Prison.
This morning Coroner Hughes sent a
deputy to DR.. Bowers Office to obtain
possession of Miss Aldersley's jewelry
and other effects, which the doctor had
promised to turn over to the Coroner on
demand, but when the deputy called the
doctor was out.

children.'

grouped about the base of the platform.
A thousand people listened to ode, song
and speech IN memorlam OF the ueao

o N L Y TIE INF PORARY
The Transfer of Clerks to the Quarter
master Generals Office
An Effort to BE Made to POSTPONE the
Discharge in the Record and
Pension ONCE.

1t is said at the War Department that the
transfer of twenty-six additional clerks to
the Quartermaster generals office Is only
temporary and that it was made necessary
to finish up certain work before July 1, in
order to be prepared for the execution of
anticipated legislation requiring the audit
ing of all accounts within twenty days after
their receipt at the bureau to which they
belong. The recent reduction of the force
by the discharge of twelve clerks, 1t is said
would have been necessary July 1 at any
rate and were made June l merely to give
the clerks the benefit of a months leave
"A different policy altogether Will be pur-
sued. 1t Is said, in the case of the record and
pension Office, where $50 clerks are to be
dismissed July / without the benefit of any
advance notice. The reduction in this case
Is to be made July /, ii Is said, despite the
fact that the law under which the action Is
required will not take effect before August
l. If it takes effect then. The law referred
to Is the legislative judicial and executive
appropriation bill for the next fiscal year.
A strong effort will be made to induce Sec
retary Lamont to postpone the reduction of
force In the record and pension Office at
least until the new appropriation bill takes
erect. Its anticipation is said to be inspired
by belief in the general advantage to he
derived from having the changed conditions
take effect at the beginning Of the fiscal
year.

QUIET AT BLUEFIELDs.
A Dispatch From the Commander of
the Murb1ehe0d.

The cruiser Marblehead arrived at Blue
fields, Nicaragua, on the 18th instant and
the cruiser San Fran cisco left there the
same day for New York. The political sit
uation was comparatively quiet at the time,
deferred her departure. The facts stated are
embodied In a telegram received at the
Navy Department this morning from Capt
O'Neill, commanding the Marblehead The
apparent delay in its receipt Is explained
by the fact that 1t came by way OF New
Orleans thereby entailing transportation
by steam from Bluenelds to that port. Pur-
suant to orders the San Francisco will re-
turn home leisurely. She will search for
dangerous reef recently reported to the
northwest of Roncador Reef, where the
kearsarge was wrecked and will report the
result to the photographic office for the
benefit Of navigation. Her first regular
stopping place Is Kingston. jamaica, whera
she will remain a few days to take on coal
and provisions. when she will be boarded
by the United States consul and steam
away to the Grand Cayman with view
to securing several valuable relics Of the
Kearsarge. said to be obtainable on that
island This duty completed the San Fran
cisco will proceed direct to New York and
resume her place as flagship of the North
Atlantic station, which she relinquished IN
favor Of the Kearsarge when she took Ad
miral Benham to the harbor Of Rio then In
the throes Of revolution. Admiral Stanton,
commanding the North Atlantic squadron,
will take his station on the San Francisco
as soon she arrives at New York. The
vessel Is in good condition and beyond re-
celving new boiler tubes and having her
bottom scraped will require scarcely any
overhauling.

THE GOLD SHIPMENTS.
Why the New York Banks Will Aid
the Government.


the Government.
The main purpose of the New York banks
in assisting the government to recruit
it's dwindling gold balance. Is said to be to
obviate the necessity for another issue of
bonds under existing laws. On their behalf
1t is contended that such action can be pre-
vented If they will combine to supply gold
fer shipment for the next thirty days. at
the expiration of which time it IS confident
ly expected that the crops will turn the gold
shipments in favor of the United States
All told, 1t is believed that about $4,000, go
in gold will be required from the banks to
accomplish this result. AS they hold about
S0O,UOOOOO Of the precious metal they can
well afford TO stand a drain to the extent
indicated. Although there has been no IRON
clad agreement to that effect, 1t Is general
ly understood among the banking institu-
tions of New York that they will supply
their pro rata share of the $15UUO,OOo esti-
mated as necessary to prevent furthe- de-
pletion Of the treasury gold reserve, and in
that way prevent action that would tend to
depreciate the gold bonds issued by the gov
ernment in February last, of which they
are the largest holders. Gold to the amount
of s1,UU.UUU, withdrawn from the treasury
was shipped by today's European steamers
Foreign bankers are OF opinion that about
$3JOO,0OO more in specie will be exported
before the week is over. The banks have
already this week turned into the treas "
nearly 2,OO0.OOO on account of last weeks s
exports, making their total contribution On
that account to date about s5,5OO.OOO.

What In Said at the Capitol About the
Election.
The election of NJ Casimir- Perie- to sue
ceed NJ. Carnot as president of the French
republic was commented upon favorably by
members Of the Senate. who, without ex-
ception. appear to regard him as a man of
progressive ideas and in every way devoted
to republican institutions.
Senator Sherman said the fact that NJ.
Casimi--Perier had been elected SO early
in the day would indicate that there had
been but little division Of sentiment among
the French republicans, and added: He is
an accomplished statesman, and has been
long in public life. having held positions
such as In this C untry We call cabinet po-
sitions. He was pointed out to me as one
of the great men of France when visited
Paris -FOUR years ago, but do not remem-
Der to have conversed with him. He is
classed among the liberal republicans in
politics."
The new president Of France is personally
known by Representative Hit OF the for
eign affairs committee, who says Casimir-
Perier was the strongest one Of the dis
tinguished Frenchmen urged as the success
sor of Carnot.
When Mr.. Hit was the American charge
