All is Serene.

New York, Oct. 1S-It is reported that
Fitzsimmons signed the articles of
agreement for a fight with Corbett yes
terday. When he and Corbett met last
week, both agreed to the articles which
governed the Corbett-Sullivan-M Mitchell
fights, but when Fftz got to Philadelr
phia he objected to some of the condi-
tons. In the articles the appointment
of a referee was to be left to the club.
Fitzsimmons refused to allow the club
to have all the say and wanted a
clause inserted which would give the
principals of the fight the right to de-
clare whether or not they would be
satisfied with the referee. Fitz' argu-
ment was that as he thought the back
ers of the Florida Athletic club were
friends of Corbett and they might APP
point a referee agreeable to the cham
pion but not to him. Corbett, it seems,
consented to the addition of this clause.
Corbett also agreed to the new
articles presented by Captain Glori it
striking out all references to the Police
Gezette belt and consented to have the
weight of the gloves five ounces.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The Sugar trust
officials, Messrs. Havemeyer and Searles,
were arraigned in the criminal court of
the district of Columbia, Judge Cole, to-
day and pleaded not guilty to the in
dictments against them for refusing to

scented the government.

torney assented to this. Bail was fixed
at $1,000 in each case, A. K. Tingle, for

ing that at a stockholders meeting

has secured control of a majority of
the stock and will assume control of

Harrison, will still hold large block
of stock.
In an Interview tonight, Mr.. Preston
Harrison said his brother and himself
had great hopes for the future of the
paper and had expected to make jour-
nalism their business for life. Their
two sisters, however, felt differently
about their interests, preferring to
have their share of the Harrison es-
tate invested in a different class of
property. This led to a difference of
opinion as to the policy to be pursued.
'Mr. Kraus made some arrange

chase or otherwise, whereby he obtain

and insisted on withdrawing.
The withdrawal of Mr. Strauss will
once more put the Tammany slate all
awry. The official announcement of
Mr.. Strauss withdrawal will be made
tomorrow. 1t is the announcement of
the rank and file of Tammany hall that
ex-Mayor Grants position is analagous
to that of Senator Hill, and that he

TEN THOUSAND In LINE.
Socialists Create Big Disturbance
in Vienna.

IN vienna.
Vienna, Oct. 1S.-Ten thousand socialists
met here today, at the Sofiensaal, in the
Landstrasse section of the city. The
place was not large enough to hold the
great crowd and hundreds were turned
away. DR.. Adler made a speech in favor
of universal suffrage.
At the close of the meeting, those pres
ent formed in procession and marched
to the Stadt Park ring, accompanied by
hundreds of mounted and foot police. AS
the dense .throng was traversing the
Stubenstor bridge, singing and shouting,
the police made a desperate effort to dis
perse the crowd, but failed, and the pro-
cession continued the march until the
Ring Strasse. in the inner city, was
reached. Here a squadron of thirty
mounted police charged the crowd with
swords. As the police were charging, one
of the horses fell and a number of other
horses stumbled over him, bringing their
riders to the ground. Horses and men
were struggling on the ground and many
of the socialists at the head of the pro-
cession were knocked down. Fifteen So
cialists and one policeman were left lying
on the ground severely injured. The pro;
cession was ultimately broken up and
many of the participants arrested.
