CORBETT PREPARES TO TRAIN.
As Usual He Gnaws Words to Say a Very
Little.

New York, July 10.-Now that Fitz-
simmons has been declared not guilty,
interest naturally centers In the big
fight and what the men are doing in
preparation.
Corbett was seen today and said:
You can say one thing for me, I
never started to train feeling as well as
/ do now. 1 haven't commenced my
about six weeks yet and shall not until
about six weeks before the fight.
Il am very glad Fitzsimmons was
acquitted, as I do not think it right to
hold a man responsible for an accident
of that kind. Take, for example, in the
coming fight. if 1 should be so unfor-
tunate as TO kill him no one would be
more sorry than /.

was never more so in my life. In the
first place I never considered FitZsim-
mons in my class, and the only way he
can convince me that he is, is by whip
ping me.
Some people are very unkind in
their remarks about me, accusing me
of being afraid to meet him, and of be-
ing a newspaper fighter. l don't think
there is anything in my record that
sustainS their statements. When Sui
livan was champion, after meeting Kill
rain, IL was three years before he

repeated challenges of Slavin and Jack

from the ring.
Now if / had shown a great haste
to meet FitZsimmonS when the match
was first proposed these same people
would have said / was looking for easy
honors by going out Of my class. OF
I &c
to meet me, why shouldn't he be-. He
has everything TO gain. Previous TO
his being matched to fight me his the
atrical ventures were an ything but
successful. since then he has made the
amount of our side bet out of the fact
Of our being matched. If I whip him
he is still champion middleweight. If
he lasts twenty-five rounds or more
people will say he was better man
than Sullivan. and if by accident, and
accidents are liable to happen. he
should win. he is a made man. If you
thought you stood a ghost of a show.
wouldn't you take those chances?
About his confidence of winning, / will
only say one thing. / gave Fitz credit
for being smart man. Would any
shrewd man boast that he could whip

Wants the Alleged Eustis Interview at
Paris DisoMned.

Washington. July 10-The Spanish
government has cabled the Spanish
minister here 10 ask the United States
government TO disavow an alleged in
terview with United States Minister
Eustis a. Paris, in which he is said
10 have passed severe structures upon
Spain in her relations with Cuba.
Up 10 this time, the matter had not
been brought 10 the attention of the
state department in any formal shape.
though the o fficials have not taken
note Of the reported interview as cab
led to the American newspapers.
Even with the reiterated denial OF
the authenticity OF the interview given
out by Ambassador Eustis. it is gener-
ally discredited here. Il is unfortun-
ate for Mr. Eustis that this particular
story should be published at the pres
ent time, even though he succeeds in
stamping il as baseness for IL is well
calculated 10 affect his future. L may
be stated that he has not found his
post 10 be particularly attractive 10

and an investiga ,ion is making by the
officers Of the library. There are no
allegations made so far as can be learn

any OF the library employees
The law provides that II the &C

the law have been in the hands Of the

have not yet been received by the au-
ditor. Mr.. Spoffard's accounts for the

ABOUT RAILROAD POOLING.
Numerous statements of the tonnage
agreement entered into by various
railroads. and allegations that the
agreements were sanctioned by the in
terstate commerce commission, have
resulted in the issuance Of a circular
letter in which the commission calls
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-07-11

the attention of all railroads to the
statutory prohibition of pooling agree
ments. The question whether tonnage
agreements are actually embraced
within the language Of the act relating
TO interstate commerce is an unsettled
one and the question has not yet been
raised and accordingly their legality
has not been decided. No complaints
or violation of the law through the
making of the tonnage agreement have
been filed here but the commission has
sent its letter to the railroads in order
to dissipate the idea that such agree
ments were officially approved or have
been under consideration in any way.
Ihe majority Of the members of the
commission are in favor of certain
amendments to the interstate COM
merce act and regard the pooling pro-
hibition provision as interfering ma
terially with the enforcement of the act
AT least several members Of the COM
mission personally are in favor of au-
thorizing pooling and deprecates its
prohibition. Respecting reports that
the commission would bring criminal
action against railroads, parties TO ton
mage agreement, II is stated that it is
not within the province OF the commits
sion TO take action in criminal case
against roads further than to refer mat
tiers 10 the department OF justice. This
will be the procedure IN cases OF traf-
fic complaints TO the commission that
the law is being violated by tonnage
agreement. II is denied that there is
any intimation Of making a test case to
settle the legality OF the tonnage agree
ments.

FENNELL FELL. ILL
WORSE AND WORSE LUCK PURSUEs
THE CORNELL MEN.

They Engage Trinity Hall and are Leading
which Overcomes Him Three Times,
Making Him SO Much Dead Weight for
the Others All Finish Exhausted
Leander Men Show Themselves Lot of
InsufferabIy Contemplate Puppies
They Get Beat Again, Though.
Henley, July 10-Cornell and Trinity
Hall started in the fourth heat of trials
of the grand challenge cup at 1870 p.
N. AT the half-mile Cornell was lead
ing but Trinity won by eight lengths,
the Cornell crew being Uutely exhausted
| at the finish. AS the Cornell boats
crossed the finish line. Fenneil tumbied
from his seat in a dead faint
After the haf-miie the Cornell crew
fell to pieces and rowed like lot OF
schOolboys, three or four, each in turn,
dropping rhier oars and seeming to be
incapable Of work. 1t was evident to
| those on the shore that the men were
sick. as they put their hands to their
faces and seemed faint. This was con-
firmed when Fennell fell into the arms
Of the man ahead OF him in dead faint.
The general opinion is that the Cor
| nell crew is hopelessly overturned and
that there is no climate or malaria
about il.
The anti-American feeling caused by
Cornell going over the course yesterday
when Leander failed to get away at the
word 60" continued today, and Often
Sive remarks were to be heard on all
Iy1da
flame of discomfort. They were to be
heard in ell parts denouncing, not the
umpire or the decision of the commit
tee of stewards which gave the race TO
cornell, but they denounced Cornell in
spite of the fact that the American
crew simply obeyed the instructions OF
the umpire to row over the course
The only satisfaction of the day was
the thorough beating which the four of
the Thames oRwing club gave the four
OF the Leander boat club in the third
heat OF the race for the stewards chal-
lenge cup. The Thames crew Won as
they liked by eight lengths. The Lean
der is where all members of the Lean
der crew entered for the grand chal-
lenge cup and are among those who
have been 50 bitter against the Ameri-
cans since Cornell under the umpire's
direction rOwed over the course yester-
day when the Leanders failed to start.
The Thames crew were heartily cheer
ed as they crossed the line ahead but
the LeanderS were received in silence
FenneH, it appears, was I'll when he
entered the race today. suffering from
valvular affection of the heart which
caused a big lump on his left side Ac-
cording to his version he caught a crab
when the Cornell boat was passing the
half-mile post and his oar struck him
a tremendous blow on his left side tho
shock seeming to paralyze his legs. He
