CORBETT'S TRAINING PLAN.
He Will Work an Hour Day From Now Until September l-!diosyncracies Of
 the Champion.

New York July 7..Corbett has laid out plans for his training, which Delaney in tends to have him stick to. From this time until September l he will work per haps an hour a day. In other words, he will enjoy vacation. taking about as much exercise as an ordinary man would. As starter he played two games. of handball yesterday, and he understands this if he doesn't know when to lay down two pairs. Delaney and Corbetts brother Joe were his opponents. They didn't play single handed. Jim was against both of them, and won without difficulty.
 Corbett's handball court is a plain structure. built entirely of wood, and it will compare fayorably with some of the more expensive affairs. Lunch was served after the games were over. Cor bett is a hearty eater and he has a sweet tooth Desert suits him immensely, and he isn't particular whether it is pie, pud- ding, ice cream or fruit, as the whole col lection is set before him. He keeps this up, even, to the day of a fight, and it agrees with him. Old timers would hold up their hands at this sort of thing, but 1t is well-known fact that the speedy California boxer indulged in liberal DOT tions of homemade sweet pudding three hours before he entered the ring with Mitchell
 There is a very comfortable hammock on the piazza. And although it was rather damp out there Corbeitt took a nap. as he always does after luncheon His collie dogs make a great deal of fuss over him. They are constantly at his heels and Corbett enjoys their society He went out on a bicycle ride in the rain next Delaney is not a bicycle fiend. He doesn't believe in bicycling as a part of a pugilst's training, but Corbett does, and that is all there is of 1t. Corbett is the boss" He rides fairly we'll and he has frequently tried Arthur Zimmerman for a mile or so, and in fairness to the latter it may be said that he riably gives Corbett a start of a full quarter.
 It cleared up for time during the af- ternoon and Corbett left his wrist ma chine after giving it a pretty hard tussla for twenty minutes to bat flies and liners to his brother. Joe" Corbett is a pretty good ball player. His brother wants to make professional of him.
 "I don't say 1t because he's my broth er," Jim remarked with some enthusi- asm, "but I'll bet my life if Joe was en- gagged to play short on the New York team he'd make some of the old sports open their eyes I've seen good deal of baseball and l play a pretty fair game. myself think this youngster will make his mark ON the diamond"
 corbett was as much interested in his ball game as a school boy might have been. and this wound up his opening Jays exercise. He was rubbed down by

 The National Zeitung beseeches the government to explain affairs at once and frankly ayow the errors in the construc- ton Of the canal rather than to allow thd country to indulge in dangerous delu- sions
 The Zeitnng predicts that unless the canal is enlarged at a heavy cost it will never be able to pay it's working ex- penses.
 The great mass of the Berliners be- gan their holidays on July 1. The schools are all closed for the vacation season and the city is fast being emptied of its inhabitants. The exodus during the past week has been enormous and the stream of travel has chiefly been directed to- ward the Baltic and North seas. The railroads are now making a considerable reduction in their tariff within the Ger man borders and have in this way been successful in diVerting the annual stream of holiday travellers from Italy and Switz> erland and directing it toward the north. The excessive heat which has prevailed throughout the week has added impetus to the general flight of holiday seekers.

 The correspondent asked the premier, on behalf of the Hungarian Literary eo- cicty of New York, if on the occasion of rians in America. who were unable to re- turn to Hungary because of their not having fulfilled their military duty, might not be amnestied. Baron Banffy said that the emperor was a strict dis ciplinarian and he (Banffy) of coure, could not say what action his majesty might take.

TENDERLolN AND BowERY LIKE AvLlAGE
Even the True and Tried Cheese and Crack CT Dodge Would Not Work-The Ministers of the City Indorss
 the Crusade

New York, July 7.-This city today has prohibition town. There were less sa- looms doing business than on last Sun day Many of them which had done a quiet business on previous Sundays were closed today beyond all doubt. Many of the saloon propretors had been im- pressed by the statement of President Roosevelt of the police department dur ing the week past-that the excise law would be strictly enforced on Sunday and that any one caught violating it would be arrested.
 President Roosevelt has convinced the saloon keepers that there would be no bluff" in enforcing the law. so most of them decided not to take any chances. A few, however kept open today. but, as on last Sunday, they would not admit any one unknown to them.
 Heretofore on. Sundays in the hotel cafes small plates of cheese and crackers were placed on every table and any one who presented a respectable appearance could take a seat and by eating, or pre- tending to eat some of the cheese or crackers, could get whatever he called for to drink. This was changed today at all of the hotels. Patrons were handed a menu and required to order something to eat before anything to drink was served to them.
 The famous "Tenderloin district" was no exception to the "dryness" prevail ing in other parts of the city, and the Bowery was practically deserted.
 In many churches today the min n'sters delivered sermons extolling the crusade agaest the opening of the saloons on Sunday

Memphis, Tenn, July 7.-About twelve miles south of this city is the levee camp of c. F. Degaris, composed of two tents. These are in a dense and muddy swamp and are infected with smallpox.

Delaney and waited impatient1y for the dinner bell.
 Corbett's gymnasium, which formerly was a barn, Is an interesting place. He has all of the latest machines for deyel- oping the muscles of the body and he uses them with great benefit to himself. Fighting is a business with him, and hs invariably makes it a point to enter the ring in perfect condition. Some of his paraphernalia might puzzle a man ae- eustomed to London prize Ting fighting, but every bit of it is useful to Corbett.
 The only thing I'm afraid of" said Delaney, "is that Jim will do too much work; but l am here to see that he doesn't. and nobody will envy my job Pm sure. It's a novelty for trainer 10 have to keep a fighter from taking loo much exercise, but the novelty has worn off with me. If l had my way Corbett would work about four weeks for this fight I think it is a pretty costly job for Jim. He is of the same opinion. but ii's his desire to be prepared for any emer- gency. It looks to me like a short fight, but if an accident occurs and corbett is injured in any way he will be able to stay there for week.
 "Corbett has seen Fitz fight and has made up his mind just how 10 go about him. He is stronger now than he ever was in his life and Mir Fitzsimmons has a grand job on hand

What Q Miner Says.

Huntington, w. Va, July 7-James Lang, one of the striking miners. arrived here this morning and expressed a hope that there would be no need for troops in that locality on account of trouble and differences between the operators and men. The miners, he said asked only for what was just. The operators had agreed to pay them 75 cents for each car- load of coal of two tons mined, but the cars had been increased in size to about four tons. with no increase in the coal diggers' pay. The men then agreed to enter into a scale agreement of 35 cents ton and have the coal weighed, but this the operators had declined to grant. The large number of miners put to work at Thacker, he said, were now ready to join the strikers, and he thought that unless an amicable settlement was entered into by all sides by the 18th trouble would be apt to ensue.
