Cameron Talks of His Fight.

Jack Cameron, who Is now In
training for fight with Steve
Butler, to take place on February
10, speaking of his fight with But
Ter, says: "I'll have Butler out in
four rounds and have 500 to bet
that way at the ringside. Butler is
keeping very quiet. | reckon he
knows he has hard job on hank,
and wishes it was over. Say, /
would feel funny if Butler would
happen to get in a chance blow
and lay me out. Well, I'd want to
die right there. II a chance blow
is all that a man can depend on to
win a fight, his chances are sure
~ very slim. The fight be-
tween me and Butler will take
place if there is no one
else present besides the principals,
their seconds, the stakeholder,
time-keeper and referee. OF course,
we would like to have big crowd,
as it would help swell the purse,
and as everything goes to the win
ner, it would come in handy these
hard times. l assure you, if there
was ever a square fight in San An
tonic this will be one, at least as
far as | am concerned, for [ am
going in to whip Butler and try to
do it in four rounds or less"

THE BATTERY SITE.
There is Some Dissatisfaction With the
Verdict on Many Sides--Two Weeks in
the Government.

When the jury made its award in the
Cushing's Island condemnation proceed
ings Judge Webb allowed Two weeks
within which any parties who might be
dissatisfied could file an appeal to the
Circuit Court of Appeals. There have
been various rumors of dissatisfacticns
since the award was made, each of the
parties interested, excepting Mr.. John K.
Robinson, of Chicago, declaring that
the award was not up to expectations.
Mr.. Robinson has not been heard from
yet and it is not known whether he will
wish to appeal. He is awarded $4,000
for his ten acres, with the rights of
way and easements amounting to an
acre and a fifth more Mr.. Francis
Gushing, who was awarded SS4,2 40
clear for his % acres with buildings and
rights of way, etc., amounting to about
one acre more, did not receiveswhat he
expected, but it is not anticipated that
he will appeal, as his land will bring I'M
der this award about S340O an acre.
There is more doubt about the course
of the hotel company. The Casco Bank
people. who own a majority of the stock,
feel that the $4,000 awarded them for
their easements in the land taken, is far
from enough, as they believe the taking
of the lot will affect the value of their
property seriously. But so far no de-
finite steps have been taken towards an
appeal.
The contingencies are not wholly on
one side. 1t is not wholly certain that
the government will want to take the
land at present at the prices set. The
rate per acre set by the action of the
jury is nearly twenty times the amount
which the government has ever paid for
land here before. When the last land
was acquired at Portland Head, on the
Cape Shore, this side of Delano Park,
fifteen or twenty years ago, there were
condemnation proceedings as in the
present case. The government had off
cred $500 an acre, but the owner..wanted
more. The jury awarded 5000 an acre.
The money to buy the battery site has
already been appropriated by Congress,
and it is probable that a certain sum
has been set apart for the Cushing's
Island site. But it is doubtful if that
sum.e1uals the .S11s,24o called for by
the jury's verdict. In case it doesssnot
the government may conclude not to
take the site at present.
Colonel Hams, when questioned on
this point Saturday by the PRESS, said
he did not know what the government
would do. The sea coast of the United
States was very extensive; and the
fortifcation of it was so expensive
work that the government would have
to study cost in each locality.

To Stop Free Rides.

The Boston & Maine will stop the
practice of many people along the line of
riding short distances free. The Port
land & Rochester short train that runs
from the Union Station to the Portland
& Rochester transfer, is used by a
great many people regularly going be-
tween their places of business and their
homes. A special agent has been riding
on the trains for several days, and it
is said that he has secured names or de-
scriptions of over sixty people who habit
ually ride free, while the number of
ticket holders was much less. About
next week, therefore, the public may
expect to be obliged to,pay ten cents
