Mitchell Talks.
JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 24.-Mitchell was
able to dodge the crowd which awaited
him at Jacksonville and was driven to
the hotel where he was locked up all
the afternoon. His work today con-
sisted only of mile walk on the beach
followed by rundown. This morning
he weighed 1929 pounds and is in con-
dition to fight for his life.
81 am glad the fight has not been
postponed" he said, II have been
training hard for this day and if it was
put off until Saturday would have had
to begin all over again or rather to keep
up nay hard work. I told the club 1
would agree to postponement if paid
$500 to cover expenses. If they had
not agreed to my proposition | would
have insisted on fighting on Thursday
or not at ALL"
He is very modest about the outcome
of the fight and would only say: Il
think l have mighty good chance,
nuch better than two to one chance,
as the betting is. see that Corbett
says he can lick me. 1t would be wiser
for him to keep such remarks to him.
self until the fight. There is no sense
in mans making fool talk like that.
He never has licked me and he don't
know whether he can; he only thinks
, he can. | don't, and that's all there is
to it,"
He has not yet determined how he
will arrange his friends in the ring but
Jim Hall, Steve O'Donnell, Jack Fogar-
ty and Harry Darrin will probably be
with him. He said that much tonight
adding however. 81 have not fixed the
placing yet" He will undoubtedly be
seconded by Hall and O'Donnel and
the time piece and bottle holders dig
mites will go to Darrin and Fogarty.

How it was Done.

Tawney, Republican of Minnesota,
denounced the placing of iron ore on the
free list. Baldwin, Democrat, who re-
presents the Duluth district said that
with free ore Duluth would be greater
iron center than Pittsburg. He repres-
ented, be said, ], 800, 900 people of Min.
nesota while Tawney represented tive
mine owners. Foreman, Democrat,
Simpson, Populist and Clark Democrat,
advocated free iron ore, Clark denoun-
cling the Democrats who are fighting the
Wilson bill. Said he: "The coal and
iron combines and other thievish trusts
may pour enough money into Wilson's
district to defeat him but if they did
the people would take him up in their
arms and bear him to a higher place.
They might destroy congressman but
in doing SO they might make a pres
ident." This compliment to Wilson
was greeted with thunderous applause.
The house was 80 highly entertained
with Clark's speech that his time was
repeatedly extended.
The Oates amendment fixing duty
OF 40 cents per ton was supported by
many Democrats from Alabama, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and
Pennsylvania, but was lost by SO to 100,
most of the Repu blicans not voting.
Robbins, Democrat, of Alabama,
moved to place on the free list all
articles of machinery and equipments
in the manufacture OF cotton. Payne
of New York offered an amendment to
include reciprocity provision. Hare,
Democrat, OF Ohio, presented an amend
ment placing 80 per cent ad valorem
duty on agricultural implements, with
reciprocity provision. The debate
was closed by Sickles, Democrat, of
New York, who said it was proposed to

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Hawaiian
question came before the senate again
and after an hours discussion went
over until tomorrow. The result of the
debate was a show of division both in
Democratic and Republican ranks as to
the wisdom of adopting the resolution
reported by the foreign relations COM
mittee. Vest objected on the ground
that it indicated project for annexa-
tion which might be more favorably
received in the future. and Allison and
other Republicans objected on the
ground that according to their in
depreciation the resolution pledged the
senate as altogether opposing the prin-
clple of annexation and as approving
the policy of the president in this
respect. Half dozen amendments are
now pending to modify the phraseology
and it is likely to be subjected to
material changes before its final adop.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Bryan OF
Nebraska, the framer of the income
tax measure, says its provisions apply
to the salaries of all public officials as
we'll as private persons. Congressman
who receive $4,000 per year will have
an exemption of $4,000 of it, but the
disbursing officers of the senate and
house will retain per cent on the re-

treasury. The same rule applies to all
other government officials including

"KID" THOMPSON PLEADS
HIS ATTORNEYS FILE A DEMUR-
RER TO THE INFORMATION
Judge Smith Ovsrruiss 1t aud the

Guilty.

The fact that "Kid" Thompson was
to appear before Judge Smith yesterday
morning attracted large crowd OF the
morbidly curious to the court room OF
department one of the superior court.
By 10 O'Clock standing room was at a
premium. and Deputy Sheriff Yonkin
had his hands full in his endeayor to
maintain order BETTING the dignity
Of the court.
The proceedings were short, sharp
and pointed.
When Deputy District Attorney Davis
had finished reading the information
charging Thompson with derailing o
passenger train with intent to commit
robbery. and with having boarded and
robbed passenger train, Thompson's
attorneys, Messrs. Adams and Garrett
presented demurrer to the information
on the ground that is was void under
the statutes, as 1t charged Thompaon
with having committed two ofenses.
This was overruled by Judge Smith
and Thompson then entered plea of
not guilty.
It is understood that his attorneys will
attack the constitntionality OF the law
which declares it is q capital offspse to
deEail train, and they express great
confidence in their ability to secure an
acquittal when the case comes to trial.

mentanS.
Erskine Greer, who has charge of the
Sacramento county exhibit at the Mid
winter Fair sends the following appeal
to Sacramentans, which explains itself:
EDS. RECORD-UNI0N: The struggle for
the mammoth $1,000 gold cup is getting
more interesting every day. Each county
on the grounds at the fair is laying claim
to it, and each seems sure OF winning.
don't see how it could be possible for Sac
ramento county to lose 1t if her friends
will wake up and make an effort. Shake
up the citizens of Sacramento county and
urge them on to duty. Let US make an
effort to win this magnificent prize. Ii
they will send me the coupons l will vote
them.
We are IN the lead for the best display
of products, and feel confident we can
win the silver cup.
The gold cup is magnificent; also, the
silver cup for the best display of products
is fine; either of which ought TO make
any county feel proud.
The attendance at the fair lis light;
weather cold and raining. VIII be some
time yet before everything is COMPLETED
The County Commissioners of the sew
eral counties have organized social club,
and have passed resolution asking the
Executive Committee Of the Midwinter
Fair to reduce the gate fee to % cents.
Have not heard what action the commit
tee took in the matter People who have
paid large sums for concessions are feel
ing discouraged on account of so small
an attendance. In my opinion the weather
is the cause. E. GREER.

A DANDY" JURY.
1t Declares a Burglar Innocent. In
Spite of the Testimony.

1t Declares a Burglar Innocent. In
Spite of the Testimony.
Juries sometimes. as we'll as individu-
ais, do incomprehensible things. A case
in point is the verdict of acquittal of
Ching Sing, a Chinese burglar who robbed
e. 5. Fenton's saloon at Eighth and X
streets on the Odd of November last, and
was captured by Officer Ahern five min
utes afterward with the stolen articles on
his person.
These consisted of silver watch with
gold chain, knife, coat pair of trousers
and a pair of shoes. AS soon as he saw
Ahern-It was about o'clock in the
morning-he started to run, but the officer
overhauled him.
The Chinaman made several offers to
plead guilty to petit larceny, but Ahern
and the District Attorney would not con-
sent thereto, and the case came TO trial
yesterday.
After the evidence for the prosecution
was IN, the court charged the jury, and
the twelve wise men retired, and alter de-
Hberating for some time came into Judge
Catlin's court and gravely.annOnncedt that
they had found the prisoner guilty OF
Larceny in the night time"
AS soon as the Court could recover his
breath he informed the intelligent jurors
that there was no such crime specified i'll
the codes, and that he could not receive
verdict OF that character. He added that
the complaint charged burglary, and that
they must find either verdict of guilty
or acquittal on that charge.
The twelve wise men again sought the
secusion of The Courthouse loft to delb-
crate over the case. They went out about
ii O'Clock and the evening shadows were
lengthening across the valley before they
were able to agree on a verdict, and this
time it was:
Not guilty."
And this, too, in the face of the fact that
the prosecution proved that Fenton's
place was entered, the articles stolen, and
that Ahern caught the thief just as he was
getting away with them.
After The remarkable verdict had been
recorded, officer Ahern asked enc Of the
Intelligent jurors how they came TO find
such verdict.
Why" was the response, 1.-The prose-
cution did not prove that anyone saw the
Chinaman in Fenton's place !"
Another said he was out all night on
the Callinan case, and didn't propose 10
go through a similar experience, SO he
gave in.
Lawyer Anderson looked at his ellen t
as they walked out of the courtroom, and
both smiled.
Why shouldn't they?

A Good Citizen Passes Away Quite
Unexpectedly.

A Good Citizen Passes Away Quite
Unexpectedly.
The death is announced of Martin w.
Griffin. an old and respected citizen, at
his home, 2512 H street, on Sunday night.
Although he had been i'll for some time,
death came unexpectedly.
Deceased had been for several years in
the employ of the railroad company, and
was highly esteemed by all that knew
him. He was native of Ireland, but
had lived in this country since his boy
hood, coming to California from Louis
lana in early days. For many years he
followed mining. He leaves a wife, one
son and two daughters, one of the latter
being Miss Lizzie Griffin, teacher in the
Sacramento Grammar School.
Some years ago two sons, John F. and
Edward, died, and their loss weighed
heavily upon the father and aided in his
breaking down.
