fidence in the position of the learned
counsel on the other side that these null
flied the whole act. The difference be-
tween the house and the senate was one
of the punishments to he prescribed.
Both bodies agreed upon the first sec
tion of the bill making prize fighting n
crime against the laws, and the only
question was that of the degree of the
punishment to be inflicted, which was
tackled on in the second section of the
bill
Suppose, said Judge Hemingway that
the second section of the prize fight act
was void, there were other laws in the
digest which came to it's relief and pro-
vided the punishment, though in less
degree than the prize fight law itself.
He submitted that as the first section of
the act was legally passed it should be
held valid. 1t was only the second sec
tion, prescribing the punishment, that
was irregularly passed.
He said that Fitzsimmons had killed
a man in friendly boxing exhibition.
Not glove contest, such as the one pro-
posed at Hot Springs, said he, but in Il
friendly exhibition of sparring such as
was seen here on the stage of the thea
ter few nights ago.
He dwelt on this story and said that
the prize fighters had been driven from
Florida to Texas and from Texas to Ar
Kansas Fitzsimmons had not signed the
new articles, and if the men met they
would fight to finish. A sparring
match would not draw $41, 900 crowd,
and anyone who knew anything about
such affairs knew it. People would not
pay $41,OOO at the gate to see tame
sparring contest with soft gloves.
Judge Hemingway delivered an ele-
CANT peroration, addressing the court as
a jury, in which he asked the highest
court in the State to prevent what he
termed would be lasting disgrace to
her fair name.
He concluded by asking that Corbett
be remanded to the custody of the sher-
iff of Garland county until the case had
been inquired into and the action of
Judge Leatherman shall have been
passed upon.
After short consultation Chief JUS
tice Bum announced that it being agree
able to counsel on both sides an adjourn
ment would be taken until II O'Clock
tomorrow morning. Adjourned.

NEW STOCK EXCHANGE II
AITGURATED.
NEW

Mexico City, Oct. 22.-Shipments for
Asia of Mexican dollars are falling off,
although few good lots have gone out
this week. Money is abundant and the
outlook for speculative boom is improy-
ing, as little or no interest can be obtain
ed and mortgages are not abundant for
investors preferring that sort of security.
Trade is good and agriculture and manu-
featuring brisk.
The new stock exchange has been

Brady went over to Spring Lake this
morning and came back with the informa-
tion that Corbett was vigorously proceed
ing with his work of preparation.
Julian sent telegram to Corpus Chris
II this morning advising Fitzsimmons to
keep at work. This indicates that both
men cling to the hope that the battle
may yet be brought off.
Stuart leaves in the morning for Dal-
las, where one of his men has gotten into
a shooting scrape, but leaves Vendig on
the ground with full power to act, and
makes the statement that he himself will
be back to the Springs the latter part of
the week. One thing is settled; unless
the men fight in private on October 81,
the fight will be postponed and a subse-
quent meeting arranged for the new Of
fer of the club of $25,000.
If the latter be accepted the Maher
and O'Donnell and the Ryan and Smith
fights will be set back and one more ath-
letic event introduced.
This will be wrestling match if an
opponent can be found for Dan Mcleod.
McLeod's manager is here and will back
him against any man in the world for
catch-as-catch-can. Ernst Roeber, Farm
er Burns or Evan Lewis will probably be
secured to meet Mcleod.

ALL OFF, SAYS CORBETT.

Hot Springs, Oct. 22.-Whatever doubt
attached itself to the fight between Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons was dispelled at
a heated meeting this evening which fin
ished up with the declaration from Cor
bett that everything was off. He called
Fitzsimmons a cur and said that he
would not fight and that he intended hav-
ing nothing more to do with him. The
meeting occurred in the private Office at
the Arlington hotel, Corbett, Brady, Ju-
lien, Stuart and Vendig being present,
together with number of newspaper
men.
Julien said that Fitzsimmons would not
fight on any date except the one original
ly agreed upon, October 81.
Corbett wanted to fight in private
within four days for a bet of $4,000, or
else postpone the fight II days and fight
in public.
Julien would not agree and Corbett
left the room, declaring, that he washed
his hands of Fitzsimmons. Julien leaves
