thoroughly in earnest in their stand.
AdJt. Gen. Houston, when asked to-
night as to what orders he would issue
to the militia now in Jacksonville. said
that until he received instructions from
Gov. Mitchell he would have nothing to
say in the matter.
"Ehe troops are now in the hands of
the sheriff." he said, land he is prac-
tically in command. As his hands are
now tied, suppose the militia will
remain here until definite orders are
received from the governor.
The betting tonight took rather un-
expected turn. Previous to the decision
of Judge Call granting the injunction,
Corbett money had been scarce at ? to l,
The courts decision had hardly been
rendered, however, when the admirers
OF the American came to the front with
surprising rapidity. From 10 l on the
champion. the odds jumpedto 25 to 10,
and then 3 TO l was not hard to get,
Steve BrOdie announced his willingness
to bet 81, 900 to $500 that Corbett would
win in six rounds, but the sports only
smiled.
Jimmie Colville succeeded in placing
$1,000 to $3.50 on Corbett. while offers of
$1,000 to s490 and 5 1000 to $3.50
were laid on the American. Even
bett would win inside of twenty
rounds. At Stedeker's $3.50 to 800 was
the rule. Adjt. Gen. Houston received
orders late tonight from Gov. Mitchell
InStructlng him to order the troops of
the second battalion to their homes.
They Will disperse tomorrow. but will
probably remain and witness the fight.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1894-01-25

and both have declared that tomorrow
they Will make the fight of their lives.
The bitter feeling between them has
been intensified of late, and the fight
will be a desperate one.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 24.-Mar-
tial law will not be declared. Gov.
Mitchell has seen q great light, and
Attorney General Lamar this evening
received a telegram from him to the
effect that martial law would not be
declared. This has been the prevalent
opinion, but for fear the governor
might not stand by his declaration,
several members of the city council of
Jacksonville held a quiet conference
this evening, and after thoroughly can
vassing the situation, decided that Gov.
Mitchell should not be allowed to usurp
the police functions of the city without
reason. They argued that in view of
today's decision there was no warrant
for the governor to proceed further,
and that the only action he could prop
erly take now would be to send his
troops home. 1t was decided to have
call issued in the regular manner
for a special session of the entire city
council at an early hour tomorrow morn
ing to consider the extraordinary situa-
ton in all its phases. Just what action
would be proposed could not be learned,
but the Associated Press representative
was informed by one well qualified to
speak that resolutions would be pre-
sented setting forth the matter; the
threatened infringement OF the vested
rights and dignity of the city by the
action of Gov. Mitchell, and proposing

court, has declared himself upon the

not be held in the arena at Jacksonville.
The members of the city council
have declared in effect that
the city of Jacksonville officially
speaking will do more than
see that the Duval Athletic club has &
permit for the fight and that the gloves
do not weigh less than five ounces.
Gov. Mitchell has gone upon record
through Attorney General Lamar, who
says that now, the matter having been
settled by the courts, he will not de
clare martial law in Jacksonville. The
militia which has been brought here to
suppress the fight will very pr obably

Mitchell.is In his room at the Everett

James at very late hour. AID obsta-
cles to the fight have been removed.
and there seems at the present moment
to be absolutely nothing to prevent
1t coming off. The : excitement
here is intense over the question
of whether or not the temporary
injunction would he made permanent.
whether Gov. Mitchell would declare
martial law, and whether he would send
more troops. All these questions are
now at rest, and interest in the fight is
greater than it has ever been. The

THE CoRBETr CAMP.
Lost Day With the Big Cham
pion.

pion.
MAYPoRT, Fla, Jan. 24.-This. the
last day before the big fight, opened
with haze enveloping the Corbett tent
at daybreak. The champion retired
early last night. After heavy supper
the American fistic premier sat down at
game of whist. Billy Delaney and
Sidney Ashe arrayed themselves against
Lou Houseman and the champion, the
honors falling to the latter pair. Cor
bett retired shortly before 10 o'clock
with as little concern for the battle
ahead as though it was still far Off He
bounded up stairs to his bedroom three
steps at time, and, With good night,
sweetheart" to his wife, closed the door
behind him, and ten minutes later was
sleeping restfully. Delaney. Donald
son. Brady, John Montgomery, Ward,
Miss Howard and Mrs. Corbett were up
and about long before Corbett awak-
ened. He had no work ahead now until
he entered the ring.
With his four collies he walked down
to the beach aud amused himself. A
barber came down from the settlement,
and by IL o'clock the famous pompadour
was carefully trimmed. Brady left at
daylight for jacksonville to attend the
injunction proceedings, and Corbett
contented himself in waiting for his
return with the news. It was intended
originally that the whole Corbett party
leave early athis morning, but the
new legal phase brought with it
change, and the camp is now in readi-
ness TO disappear on orders from the
club. Corbett is worried only over the
possibilities of the match being called
off or postponed. He imagines that
something will crop out at the last mo-
ment which will deny him the chance
of measuring his reach with the Brlton.
There is an airy buoyancy about the
big fellow which is foreign to the man
who Stimulates or affects unconeern.
He wants to get Mitchell before him.
Dempsey arrived here on the evening
train, and will remain close by Corbett's
side until the referee renders decision.
The women leave tonight for New
York, stopping over en- route at Savan-
nah to hear the result of the fight.
After the train leaves. batch of tel
egrams will be dispatched to be sent to
friends through the medium of the AS
sociated Press, as follows:
"Mayport, Fla, Jan. 24.-Mrs. P. j.
Corbett, SIS Hayes Street, San Fran
cisco, CAL: Now. don't worry second.
am perfectly well, and will win with
out doubt. JIM"
"Mayport, Fla, Jan. 2s.- Harry Cor

"Mayport, Fla, Jan. 24.-Eddie Foy,

ripe. JIM"
"Mayport, Fla, Jan. 24.-Frank j.
Moffit, Times office, Oakland, CAL: Jim
is In excellent shape; cannot lose if
they meet. BILLY DELANEY"
This will probably be the last news Of
Corbett until he arrives in Jacksonville
on the battle field.

HATCH's NEW BILL.
1t Will BE Hard on the Bucket
Shops.

SHOPS.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Mr. Hatch, of
Missouri. chairman of the committee on
agriculture, is in correspondence and
consultation with the internal revenue
authorities of the administration in re-
lation to the general and specific feat
ures Of most comprehensive bill tax
ing ~-/dons. The forthcoming bill will
di-ler radically from the one that was
fought for so bitterly in the Fifty sec
ond congress, and incontinentally
talked to death by the senate. The
effort is being made to give it such
form that it Will be an actual revenue
producing measure, will interfere in the
smallest degree with actual, bona fide
operations In produce, but. will become
so burdensom, to the gam bling ele-
ment on boards of trade that it will
practically do away with professional
option dealing.
Mr.. Hatch has at his command all the
expert statisticians of the government
offices, and both he and his assistants
express the belief that they have struck
scheme which will everlastingly anni-
hilate bucket shops and commission
muses. WHICH lloW oHer SUCH constant
and pressing temptations to weak and
totterlng bank cashiers and other GUS
todians of trust funds.
Senator Washburn will have charge
OF the bill when it reaches the senate,
and is even now deep in the councils of
the men engaged In preparing the bill.
1t is generally believed the bill will aDe

will not only pass. but VIII run the

test was played yesterday morning,
when Shaw, of Winnipeg. defeated
McConochie, of Cambria, after close
and exciting contest, the score being
II to II. McConOchie's luck was all
wrong during the latter part of the bon
spiel, land even in the play for third place
in the Jobbers' Union contest he was
beaten by Cruikshank, of Morden. Nc
Conochie has put up some excellent
games throughout the spiel. however,
and the fact that he was in so long on
some of the events used his men up
very considerably, and this accounts
somewhat for their defeat In the finals.
The play put up by the rinks from Nor
den. especially the Cruikshank, is es-
pecially worthy of mention. This is the
first bonspiel here that the Morden
men have attended, and they made a
record for themselves at once.
The st. Paul club spared no pains to
make the event a success in every sense
of the word, and that the annex was a
very popular place with the visitors
goes without saying. The respect and
admiration of all for Archie Mcleod as
host has increased, and every one is
agreed that he attended to the wants of
the hungry and thirsty i'll very good
shape.
1t is noteworthy fact that the inter-
est taken in curling by people outside,
particularly the ladies, is on the in
crease. and never before have so many
members of the fair sex been in attend
ance at the games. This is surprising.
too, as during the past few days the
weather has been severe; but even the
long climb down and up the steps did
not affect the attendance.
In the play last Tuesday night for
third prize in the John Johnston event
