SANTA CRUZ, CAL, May A.-The Eng

house to attend the meeting to which he
ana Fuglllst Corbett had been summoned
by Joseph ii. Vendig, representative of the

spices the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight was
arranged to take place.
When Corbett found that FitZsimmons
did not intend to appear and that he had
not paid the $4,000 deposit guaranteeing
his appearance in the ring, Corbett said:
81 am here and will come to fight in any
part of the United States. My money is
up and I want no bluffing. am ready to
go into training tomorrow. When 1 en-
gagged in the theatrical business Fitzsim-
mons was blowing 1 would not fight him.
Now he has broken his part of the agree
ment, and if he wants to be the worlds
champion he must fight or quit the ring.
He and have received $1,000 each from the
club for training expenses"
Turning to Vendig, he said: ~ recog-
nize you as the true sport to put up that
amount of money. l want the fight to
take place in Dallas, Tex. If we cannot
fight in this country L Will name the
place.
"Fitzsimmons boosted in Chicago" said
Corbett, ''that he would pull my nose if
the fight did not come off, but denied
having used the expression when 1 asked
him about it later. Now, 1 want to go on
record as saying that if this fight is called
off will poke his nose at first sight In
order to be considerate with him and that
he may live up to the articles of the agree
ment L will give him until tomorrow to
comply with the terms, and will meet him
at any place at his own convenience"

CHICAGO, ILL. May 24.-Mrs. Anna
Annabel tonight shot and killed her hus-

had nursed him through an illness con-
tracted while he was on visit short time
ago to his parents, who live in Iowa City.

ON THE EEL RIVER.

The Supreme Court Modifies Former
Opinion as. to Seine Nets.
In the case of Hickman against SWEET
ct al, the Supreme Court yesterday modi-
fed former opinion as to waterfront
rights in Humboldt County.
The case presented for determination
simply the question of the respective
rights OF the parties under statute OF
1859 to cast seines and nets for salmon in
the waters of Eel River fronting upon tire
land of the plaintiff. The court held that
this statute had not been repealed, but
merely regulated as to time of fishing by
subsequent sections.
A former Judgment gave the plaintiff
the exclusive right of casting nets in Eel
River irrespective of the purposes for
which they were cast, and enioined the de-

The SHORT LINE,
Determined Struggle of a Trust
Company to Secure the
Property.
Union Pacific Receivers Are Busy
Forming Plans to Keep
the Road.

OMAHA, NEBR., May 24.-Receivers
Clark, Mink and Anderson were in confer
ence to-day making up their report to
Judge Sanborn, which will be filed Mon
day in st. Paul according to the order
made by the Judge of the Eighth Judicial
District in the Short Line receivership
case. 1t is anticipated the report will be
exhaustive and will cover the earnings
and expenses of the Short Line system
from the time the receivers have begun up
to the present. The report will further
show the moneys on hand that may be
applied to defaulted interest on the first
mortgage as near as can be shown. There
will be large delegation of Union Pacific
people leave Sunday night for ST. Paul.
AS to the outcome of the report, it is
purely problematical, although there
seems to be feeling that the attorneys of
the American Loan and Trust Company
will produce in court the money necessary
to pay the interest in default on the Oregon
Short Line and thereby secure the appoint
ment of ]. NJ. Egan as receiver.
The American Loan and Trust Company
is determined to succeed to the control of
the property and operate it independently
of the Union Pacific in order to show its
earning capacity.
Mr.. Kellogg, when here on the Short
Line divisions hearing, publicly stated
that his client would have the money in
court to pay the interest in default on the
first mortgage, and would be able to make
the offer of the interveners coed. 1t will
take S1,500,00 to do this. However, the
Short Line has not yet been divorced from
the Union Pacific. and many things may
happen before Monday that will assist in
the retention of the present receivers.

FAVORS THE SUBSIDY.
England Urged to Protect Its Interests
In the Pacific.

LONDON, ENG, May 24.-The Times
this morning, in leader on the Pacific
mail scheme, says that if there is one fea-
ture by which the history of the twentieth
century is likely to be distinguished be-
yond all others, it bids fair to be the de-
velopment of the open shores of the Pacific
by movement of civilization of the
world, already seen on the shores of the
Mediterranean and of the Atlantic. The
article considers that the Government is
justified in bestowing an annual subsidy
of 100000 on the Pacific mail and cable
service.
1t suggests that the amount is now alb
sorbed by Bechunaland, and might be lib
Grated by giving Bechunaland to Cape
Colony, and under protectorate to a
