GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS

BERLIN Jan. 22.-About o'clock this
morning streams of unemployed workmen
began to pour in the directions of the halls,
where meetings had been called for today.
The five places in which the meetings were
held were filled to their utmost capacity.
The following named socialist members of
the reichstag presided at the meetings:
Herren, Singer Schmidt, Vogtherre. Lieb-
knecht and Fisher.
The proceedings in each of the halls be-
gan at noon. The police were present in
great force, but were stationed out of
view of those in the halls. The demeanOr
of the crowds was excellent. The men who
were not able to find places in the halls
were allowed to assemble in groups in the
streets. the police making no attempt to
interfere with them.
At all the meetings the proceedings were
about the same. Resolutions were adopted
declaring that the government ought to
begin Immediately the construction of pub
Tic works in order to benefit the unem-
ployed.
The resolutions also declared that eight
hours should be a maximum days work for
all government vorkmen.
The conduct of the police in attacking
the unemployed workingmen last week at
Friedrichshain was denounced.
The anarchist Gumplowicz, from Zurich.
who has before been mentioned in these
dispatches as taking part in the agitation
among the unemployed, made an address
at one of the meetings. in which he made
an attack upon the government.
Gumplowfcz was outspoken in his advoca-
cy of anarchism and his denunciation Of
all governmental authority
After he had spoken for a few minutes
two policemen stepped upon the platform
ana placed him under arrest. There was
no excitement among the audience.
Herr Liebnecht, the chairman at this
meeting. made an address after Gumplo-
wicz was taken away. His remarks were
entirely academic
The proceedings ended QUIETLY

ROME. Jan. 22.-Dispatches from Paler-
mo state that the disarming of the work.
ingmen and peasants of Sicily is proceed
ing in an orderly manner
The Sicilian senators held meeting in
Rome yesterday and debated measures for
the relief Of the poor of the island. They
concurred in the opinion that the govern
ment ought to take decisive action, for the
reason that after the decree establishing a
state OF siege in Sicily is annulled many Of
the land owners who. under fears of revo-
luton, had modified their contracts with
peasants, will refuse to stand by the modi-
ications they made.
Everything is quiet today in the Carrara
district. Altogether about three hundred
anarchists have been arrested there.
At the reopening of the chamber of dep
titles. Prime Minister Crispi will not wait
for interpretations to be made. but will at
once report to the chamber the exception
al measures that have been adopted by the
government to meet the danger of insurrec-
ton. He will state that the prepare tons
for a rising were made some time ago, and
will produce the documents proving that
such preparations had been made.

TO FIGHT FOR CASH,
Mitchell and COrbett Want the DuvaI
Club Check Converted.

1t has finally been decided that the Duval
Athletic Club of Jacksonville, Fla. be COM
PEELED to turn into cash the check Referee
John Kelly holds in trust for the winner Of
the big fight. Kelly yesterday waited on
Jim Corbett at the latters training quarters
at Mayport, and had a long talk with the
champion, Brady and Delaney. Kelly show
ed the check he held and remarked that he
had heard that Mitchell had entered a pro-
test against fighting for piece of paper
which by injunction could be tied up and
made unavailable. Kelly stated that he did
not care to take part in transaction which
might terminate as Mitchell feared. He had
no doubt as to the sincerely of the club in
the matter. but he wanted both of the prin-
cipals satisfied before he left for the scene
of the contest. He then fatty put to Corbett
the question:
Are you satisfied to fight for the purse in
it's present shape?"
The champion thought the matter over for
a moment and then answered:
Il am satisfied with anything that Mr.
Mitchell is If Mitchell wants the check
converted into cash. 1T is his privilege. / see
no reason why 1t should not be done. 1t is
not an unreasonable demand. and 1t will
tend to promote confidence in the contest.
1 shall back up Mitchell If he insists that
the money be put up.
Mitchell does insist, and there is nothing
for the club to do but to comply with the
demand, which the sporting men agree is
the only proper thing to do. 1t is argued
that If the club is ION the square" there
can be no objections interposed to the
proposition. which carries with ii nothing
more than does the provisional Endorsement
on the back of the check, save that the
money must be in the hands of the referee
when he enters the ring, to be turned over
to the winner at the conclusion of the
battle
Tonight w. A. Brady, representing Cor
bett. and Bat" Masterson, on behalf of
Mitchell. will take Referee Kelly before the
club and make a formal demand on the
officials for the cash.
The arrangements for the fight are about
completed, although the location is still kept
secret by the club. In order to bewilder the
mind of the "noOdlum," who is incidentally
arriving very strongly in struggling num-
Ders. Its emisSaries have given out a dozen
OF more places where the fight might be
pulled OF The guessing ones are at their
wits ends as to the loca ton, and many and
ludicrous are the methods employed in order
to get tips.
II has been decided to spirit the principals
away with their parties some time Wednes-
day afternoon. Each will be furnished with
special train consisting of Pullman buff
fet car and engine and pulled away toward
a common center by circuitous routes The
most plausible theory is that the men will be
taken TO a point north of the city, near a
neck of Georgia lands. which puts quite a
distance between two strips of Florida ter
rftory- The start VIII be made early in the
morning, before SUNRISE IL is intimated in
order to give the fighters as much time as
possible in which to effect finish

Reported Assassination of Milan, Ex.
King of Servia.

BELGRADE, Servia, Jan. 22.-The re-
port that King Alexander had been assas-
sinated is without foundation. He is ac-
lively employed in seeking to end the
crisis now prevailing here. Acting under
the advice of his father, he is endeavoring
to obtain a coalition ministry.
BERLIN, Jan. 22.-At a meeting of the
budget committee of the landtag today
Councillor Won Moscow stated that he had
received information from Belgrade that
ex-King Milan had been assassinated last
night. No official confirmation of the re-
port has been received, and it is generally

| Railway Strikers at Bridgeport Re
| solve to Continue the Fight.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 22-At .
o'clock this morning a big crowd had COL
lected about the Traction Company's stables
In East Bridgeport but there were no hos
tile demon STATIONS. and none of the strikers
were there. The company made no attempt
to send out cars. and officials of the road
had not decided whether to do SO or not.
The strikers. having received Col Heft's
proposition to take back all men except
nine whose names have not been given
declined 1t at midnight meeting, and
will probably decide upon counter pro-
position The officials Of the company will
not meet the men, but are acting through
the mayor and the police board.
The men demand that all be taken back
and then II there Is any cause for discharg-
ing the nine men, that they be given a
chance to prove their innocence They
also insist that in the future they shall
not be discharged without being given a
reason. The strikers number III, and have
formed a union. ......-.'' ~
