UNCERTAINTY
sun 1t Fall River, But II & Thought Help will
Rush to Mills when 0pshed.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Oct. 11.-There is
still uncertainty whether the mills will be
able to resume operations in full. Monday
morning. Secretary Howard feels that the
spinners will vote, tomorrow morning, to
accept the terms offered by the manufac-
turers, but several members OF the union
have been saying they think that they better
remain cut while longer. Members OF
the Carters' Union are very much
disappointed because they were not
offered at least per cent. compromise
and the weavers are boiling over With anger
against the manufacturers who discrinin-
sted against them. Word was received
from New Bedford weavers and carders in
the mills of that city who resumed under
special agreements made with individual!
employers. In most cases it is understood
the offers of a per cent. compromise were
accepted. So much destitution exists IN
this city the manufacturers think the
majority of the help will be glad to return
to work when the mills are opened, Mon.
day, and it matters very little what sort OF
orders either spinners or wcasers' unions
may promulgate.

MEET TO TALK.
Corbeit and FiIzsimmors Arrange for . Fight
Ailef July 1st.

New YORK, Oct. 11.-For tie first time
since the present negotiations between
Corbett and Fitz.immons opened, these two
gladiators faced each other in the Herald
Office, this morning. Fitzsimmons and his
manger, Capt.. Glori, were the first to
arrive. Corbett came in 10 minutes later.
Fitzsimmons sat at the table in the library
when Corbett entered, and the champion
went over and took seat facing him, and
said ''How are you, FltZ"
The salntation was returned and then Cor
bett said be supposed they were there to
make a match. Fitzsimnons called his
manager, Capt Glori, to tie Chair saying
that he was his spokesman. Corbett asked
Glori to show the color of his money and
the captain displayed $1,000 to bad a mac /.
Corbett then showed a roll of $40 900, and
told Glori to cover it when he pleased, but
there would be no fight until after July /,
as he would not cancel profitable theatrical
engagements. This was disappointment,
but Fitzsimmons and Glori agreed and the
work of drawing up articles was begun.
sAre you willing to fight after July II"
was asked of Fitzsimmons.
Eight him any time" was the emphatic
reply.
II was finally agreed to battle next Sep
TENDER.
w. A. Scholl, matchmaker Of The Olym-
pic Athletic Club, New Orleans, and Cept.
Frank Williams, representing the Audiso-
rum Club Of the same city, were on hand.
Among many others were: William A
Brady, Corbetts manager, Leander Rich
ardson of the Dramatic News, and jimmy
Colville of Boston.
Having yielded on the question of the
date then the club was the mkt poblsm
"Circular Joe" Vendig put in AN appear
ance as the representative of the Florida
Athletic Club of Jacksonville and prepared
to bid on the fight. The frat offer was
S25 900 by Scholl of the Olympic, which
was increased to $50 600 by Williams of
the Auditorium. Ventig raised it to SAL
900. Williams said $35 900 was his limit.
Scholl mentioned $50, 900 which called forth
smiles. Corbett said the bid was wild and
money would have to be shown. Scholl
produced $4,000 which Corbett said was not
enough to post for $50 900 purse.
Fitzsimmons evidently preferred the
Olympic while Corbett preferred the Flor
ida.
Fitzsimmons finally said: "Well. | will
yield every point in order to make a match.
l will sign with the Florida Athletic Club"
Corbett sneered at Fitzsimmons' alleged
complaisance. II am the champion" be
said, land will say when and where will
fight. l have been roasted right and left
on the charge of being afraid of you. Now
| am here to make match. 1 have my
money to put up and will not leave the
room until the agreement is signed
Brady here explained to Corbett that it
was against the law to sign articles of
agreement for prize fight in this state.
and both men agreed to sign the article out
sile Of the state and return them to the
sporting editor of the Herald.

BANKERS ASSOCIATION

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1l.-At the bankers
convention, today, Mr.. White OF New
York, said the masses of the people did not
understand the financial system. 1t was
fact that the charters of some OF New
York's largest banking institutions were Sc
cured in 1889 and previous thereto by brlo-
ing the Legislature. The national banking
system put a stop to that sort of Legislation
and the speaker had every confidence thar
if the bankers of the country would try they
could have the law amended to make 1t as
near perfect as possible. The Bsltlmore
plan was discussed by several delegates.
They got into a wrapgle over the consti'u.
tional phase of the subject and the proposed
amendments were finally adopted and
committee of nine were appointed to pre-
sent them to Congress. Officers were
elected, and in the evening banquet was
given.

The Midwinter Fair is Opened
With Great Success.

On January 9th the California
international Midwinter Fair was
opened with great success. The
weather was perfect, the military
parade, the finest ever seen west of
Chicago and the elaborate pro-
gramme was carried out without
hitch. The attendance WAS large.
The admissions through the turn
stiles aggregating 72,248, not
counting the thousands in the
parade or the large number Of
workmen and attendants on the
various buildings. It is estimated
that there were $4,000 people on
the grounds.
The exercises were very appr0.

ing the electric button which
started the great machinery of the
fair. Foreign exhibitors were sur
prised to see such a turnout, IN
view Of the fact that the show VIII
not be completed for another
month. 1t is certainly a great ex-
position considering how it was
created, and will rank with the
notable international fairs that
have been held elsewhere. The
attendance is holding up well and
there is little doubt the exposition
will be financial success. 1t will
at the same time be of great bene-
fit to San Francisco and the State
generally. The S. F. Examiner
has offered q magnificent $4,000
gold cup and two silver ones
for the county exhibit which shall
be voted the most popular and
best. The clergy of the city have
begun to protest that the fair shall
be closed on Sundays.
