Corbett Scores Mitchell.

BUFFALO, N " Jan. 13.-The CONNER
cial to-day prints letter from James ).
Corbett, under date of Jan. IL, in which he
says:
",The true state of things in Florida is
not being sent over the wires to the news
papers. We wish the contest to take place
and they do not allow Mitchells strange
actions to be known, because they want
him 10 go into the ring, as it will be a big
news event The Duval Club had to Jolly
this fellow like a ten-y ear-old baby in order
to get him here at ALL All sorts OF induce
otherwise. They have given into him in
every way IN order 20 entice him 10 meeting
me. / offered TO 20 anywhere in the State,
as there is no law here against us, and
they cannot modest us after the fight, if it
comes off, but he refused to do as / did
and insisted ST Johns or Duval county
notice and know the place ahead
Do you know why? Because he wants to
post the authorities in case 1t is decided
TO bring the contest off secretly. He did II
before when he was matched with a tenth
rater like Slade. Why should he not DO it
now? He IS the gamer II the contest is
stopped. He must have something TO live
on. He has existed and gained the note
riety he has by fighting John l.. Sullivan a
never showed a sign to want 10 go 10 a fin
ish although repeatedly challenged. He
stated in New York, two years ago, that
he would never fight TO finish again.
Why? Because Sullivan was still champion
and his chest was out with the reputation
OF having to t0usaS his na@cb anH nos de
thinks by showing a desire TO meet me and
having the fight stopped he can exist on
the reputation Of his SO-called gameness. He
insisted on bringing the match off at
Roby, because he knew ii was an impossi-
bility there He did not sign with Coney
island until he had inside information that
the contest would not be allowed He re-
fused 10 go TO the Olympic Club in New
Orleans until II was a certainty that Gov
ernOi Foster would interfere. He insisted
on postponeing the contest in Florida from
Dec. IS to Jan. %, so that there would be
an excellent chance of the opposition CRY s.
talliZing itself in order to stop the fight
He did not come to Florida until Governor
Mitchell put himself on record as positively
against the proposed match.
81 do not think Mitchell tricky or smart I;
he is simply a confidence man who gulls
his best friends. and if he should ever
summon up courage 20 meet me In the ring
an event / look forward TO with a great
deal of pleasure, you may rest assured that
his money will be on Corbett To win, thus
throwing down his friends as he has al
done

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-There were but
a few Senator's inclined TO express any
opinion upon the Hawaiian affairs to-day
Senator Palmer said that he considered the
Hawaiian incident as virtually closed Con-
gress c. uld rot put the Queen back.
Senator Davis agreed with Senator
Palmer In the opinion that congressional
action was out Of the question. ut Is" ne
said absurd for Mr.. Cleveland 10 say that
he leaves the matter TO Congress. There is
nothing CONGRESS can do, now that the
treaty Is Withdrawn. If the law recurring
beheading for treason had been applied to
Liliuokalani herself she would hssrc been
decapitated two years before she becan
Queen. for she was undoubtedly in the ceil-
spiracy to dethrone the King.
Said Senator Frye; Il think the Presi-
dent will now leave the question to Con-
gress. 1t seems 10 me he has had enough
of it,
Senator Cullom thought IL important 10
know whether the question was actually
TO he left 10 Congress. The President" he
said, has made Us that promise once be-
fore. Does he intend to keep faith this time.
or does he mean to so on In his effort to
boost the Queen back on her throne? If
that is his purpose. 1t is trick and not
honest

FREIGHT SHIPMENTS
Through Business Heavy, but
Local Traffic Extremely Dull.
Good Eastern Movement of Grain, Flour,
Cotton, Cattle and HOgs-Gen-
eral Railway News.

While the train records show that 526
fewer loaded cars were received and for
warded at Indianapolis in the week ending
Jan 13 than I'm the preceding week there
were 3,097 more loaded cars handled than in
the corresponding week Of 1898. 1t should
be said however, that in the corresponding
week OF 1898 the roads were contending with
severe weather and bIOckades, but, going
back for some years, the movement of last
week was in excess of the usual volume in
winter months. The weather the last few
weeks has been very favorable for moving
freights, and, had manufacturing interests
been In full operation unquestionably the
railways in this section would have done
the heaviest business In their history, as
there was a good cotton crop to move, and
for the last four weeks the shipments Of
grain have been much heavier than usual
at this season Of the year. Shipments of
cattle and hogs TO Eastern markets, despite
the statement OF a scarcity of cattle and
hogs. have been and now are unprecedent-
ly heavy for January. and shipments OF
flour for export have increased since the
first of the year. While west bound the ton
mage is heavier than in December it is by
no means up to expectations. First-claSs
freights are light, as Western merchants
are not stocking up as usual in January;
the lower class freights are light, as the
iron, glass. nail and like manufactures are
not distributing goods as usual, and on &C
count OF the mild weather the demand for
coal and coke is not large as usual.
Local business continues light. In the
twenty-five years which these weekly state
ments have been k.ade the exhibit of local
business has not been so unfavorable, and
there Is a quiet about the city freight de-
pots which the oldest employees say they
have not seen in years. Below is given the
number of cars received ana forwarded at
this point for the week ending Jan. Is, as
compared with the corresponding week of
the two preceding years:

1t was an off week with the Pennsyl-

The heavy west-bound movement Of
empty cars indicates that freight men are
confident that there is a good deal of freight

Possession or RosA McKNIcnr
Another Effort TO Get Her From the
Orphnna' Home.


The much talked OF Rosa Mcknight
case against the Benevolent Home has
not yet ended. Another chapter In this
cause celebre has been opened by pro-
ceedlngs in the nature OF an appeal to
tn court of criminal appeals. At the
time the decision. remanding the child
to the custody OF the home. was rem
dered by the district judge, notice of
an appeal was given. Yesterday Judge
j. NJ, Hurt granted the petition OF
Rosa Mcknight, through her attorney,
Byron Johnson, and issued writ Of
hateas corpus directing the Benevo-
lent Home. H. c. Burlington, B. NJ.
Burchill. ]. G. Scott and Mrs. Ramsey,
rs defendants, to have the body OF
Rosa Mcknight before the court on the
29th day Of August. and show cause
why she Is detained by them.
The petition upon which the writ was
issued recites the proceedings had in
the lower court and AYERS that the
court erred In assuming jurisdiction
OF the case. and In ordering the child
into the custody Of an alleged corpora
ton that had never qualified or given
bond as guardian. taking the position
that the proceedings We're tantamount
to appointing the home the legal guard
ian Of the child.
There IS no allegation In the last pc
tition OF the unftness OF the home as
a place for rearing children. and Is
merely a review Of the action OF the
court below, and points out wherein,
