Little Rock. Ark. Oct. l5.-Goveruo-
Clarke's determination TO stop the Cor
bett-Fftzs.mmons contest at any cost was
emphasized to-day by the presence in
this city OF General Taylor OF Forest
CITY, br.gadler general of the state
guards, who was summoned to the cap
itol by telegraph to confer with the gov
erncr IN regard to the strength OF the
state militia. General Taylor was in con-
ference with Governor Clarke for an
hour. When seen by a reporter he was
preparing TO take train for Hot Springs.
General Taylor said. positively that the
fight would not occur. His purpose In
going TO Hot Springs. he said, was to
warn the people there against the danger
to which they would subject themselves

contest off. He could. he said. with a
few hours notice land $50 well drilled and
fully equipped men IN Hot Springs.

an associated press reporter In reference
to his consultation with Gensral Taylor.

guard to carry out his plans. he said that
the militia was matter of secondary
consideration, that he could get all the
force necessary outside the military COM

ration that the fight would not be per-
mfttej TO take place. and IN this connec-
ton. he said he could not make any DIS
