self anxious TO improve the condition of
his people, even going so far in his desire
to ascertain their wants as to wander
about the streets of his capital in disguise,

told of the scant courtesy he met with
from many Of his subjects.

TRENTON, Aug. 17.-Champion James J.
Corbett and Bob Fitzsimmons, the middle
weight champion, are both in this city,
and mutual friends have been trying un-
successfully to get them to meet each
other. Corbett said to an Associated
Press reporter that he would not accept a
challenge from Fitzsimmons, who, the
champion said, was looking for cheap ad-
vertising. Fitzsimmons, he added, must
first send an open challenge to the world,
and If no others accept it then Corbett
will take 1t up, but not otherwise. Cap
tain Glori, manager for Fitzsimmons, says
that the money is ready to be put up
whenever Corbett says he will cover it.

The President Suddenly Leaves
for Gray Gables.
He IS SUFFERING FROM MALARIA.
Or. o'ReilIy. His Physician, Says . Few
Days of Salt Air and Rest VIII Reouper-
sse the Chief Magistrate Sufficiently to
Renew His Omciai Duties.


NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-President Cleve-
land arrived in Jersey City yesterday at

der John Rogers. The president jour
neyed from Washington in President Rob
erts' private car. He was accompanied
by Captain Bob" Evans and DR.. o Reilly
Captain Debbins, of the John Rogers met
the party, and they were conducted to the
elevator by Station Master Keefer. No
person was allowed near the president ex-
cept the gentlemen named, and as the oil
evator disappeared from sight the passen-
gers made a rush down stairs to catch an
other glimpse of him. Escorted by the
policemen the party hastily walked to the
Adams Express pier, where the steamer
was waiting, and as soon as they got on
board the vessel moved out and headed
for the East river en- route for Buzzard's
Bay.
The cause Of the presidents sudden de-
parture for Gray Gables was given out by
Private Secretary Thurber after the chief
magistrate left Washington. Mr.. Thurber
said
THE president left this morning for a
few days absence, under the advice of his
physician, in the hope of shaking of an
attack of malaria, from which he has been
suffering for several days. Yesterday the
attack eliminated in fever, but which was
under control this morning. DR. O'Reilly,
his physician, expresses no doubt that a
few days Of salt air and rest will recuper-
ate the president sufficiently to renew his
official duties, and he will return to
Washington by the middle of next week
He has gone to Gray Gables, and is ac-
oompanied by DIR. O'Reilly."
The president, before leaving Washing
ton, took no action OH the tariff bill be-
yond sending it over to the secretary of
the treasury for a report, as is customary
with revenue bills.
1t will be necessary for the president to
be back In Washington by Tuesday next.
The resolution continuing appropriations
expires on the preceding day, but the
sundry civil bill has not yet been signed,
and all appropriations carried by it for
last year will cease on Monday unless the
president returns and gives the bill for
the current year his approval The river
aud harbor bill also awaits the action of
the president, and there is much specula-
tion as to whether he will approve it or
not. Many Of the appropriations carried
by it will cease if it is not approved by
