Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Nov. 1.-The big
fight is put over until next week, and
there is no chance of Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons meeting in the ring before Tuesday
at the very earliest. Chances are that any
body arriving here early next Wednesday
morning will see the fight, if it comes off.
There may, however, be a fight on Mon
day afternoon at o'clock, when Maher
and O'Donnell will meet with five-ounce
gloves in Wilmington park, two miles
from the center of the town. This match
Is definitely settled, and unless the state
interferes in very forcible manner it will
be fought out according to programme.
Smith and Ryan will probably be given q
chance on Tuesday.
Limited by the State Law.
With reference to the situation at Little
Rock where FitZsimmons' case was con-
tinued yesterday, it is the unanimous
opinion Of the lawers present that the
state law would not permit the governor
to go further than placing Fitzsimmons
under a peace bond. That done he would
be at liberty to fight if he wished, the pen
atty being the forfeit Of his bond. The re-
port was. however. that Governor Clarke
would not be content with the peace bond,
but would place the prizefighter under re-
straint and prevent his leaving for Hot
Springs. This, the lawyers decided, was
an assumption of authority which could
not be countenanced.
May Get Into Uncle Sans Court.
A hurried message was sent to Little
Rock, asking if an immediate session Cf
the United States district court could tc
held there. An affirmative answer was
received and it was decided to take the
matter there Immediately upon the re-
ceipt of word that the governor .,ad placed
the Australian under restraint other than
bonds. The proceedings by which Fitz-
simmons will be released in the event of
such action would probably be habeas cor.
pus, but the attorneys positively refused
to divulge their plans. There is apparent
~ strong sympathy in Hot Springs for the
inpcaching of the governor.
Avowed Tactics of the Governor.
1t is given out on good authority that
the FitzsimmOns and Julian cases will
again be continued when they come up in
Judge Martins court to-day ut Little
Rock. 1t is Governor Clarkes avowed
purpose to have the cases continued from
time to time until the pugilists become
thoroughly disgusted and the fight ID
finally declared off. The limit of the bond
under which the prisoners may be held to
keep the peace is fixed by law at &, 900.

He Thinks the Two Men Can Fight il They
Only Make An Effort.
Among the star fighters here is John L.
Sullivan, and it goes without saying that
he is n center of attraction. "Idon't see,"
he said, ''why these fellows cannot get to.
gether if they are really anxious to fight
In fact, know very we'll if they are dead
set on fighting they can do it, governor or
no governor. 1t looks to me as though
Corbett don't care about fighting and
FitZsimmons don't want to. When /
fought kilrain we had wcrs, time than
this. We were chased into the woods. We
had no special trains and no deputy sher-
ifs to help us-and more than that, there
was 81 600 price over our heads and a
prison wall before us.
"In spite of all that Jake and 1 found
the ring and had our little trouble out.
Now, if we did it under such circum-
stances these fellows can do it, too. and
anybody need not tell me they can't, par
ticularly if they want to get at each other.
There's another thing want to say >
continued John L.. 81 was reported as
saying that wished Corbett success, but
that wasn't his friend. 1t has been doubt
ed that said that, but 1 did say it. I
meant it, and l say it again-I wish him
success as champion, but he is no friend
of mine.'
Corbett was scheduled to appear in the
ring at Wilmington park at high noon
yesterday, throw off his cap and sweater,
and announce to such people as were pres
ent that he was the champion of the world,
| and that, as FitZsimmons was not there,
he was ready, willing, and anxious to de-
fend his title against all comcrs. There
was big crowd to see him, but Corbctt
did not appear. The town is full of prize
fighters and their friends waiting for what
may turn up.

ARMY CROOK.
MIXED UP WITH AN EXTENSIVE
COMING SCHEME.
Peached on By a Man Who Has
Evidently Been One of the Gang
But Who is Now Missing
Probably Killed.

BUTTE, Mont, April 20.-The ar
rest OF f. l.. Spaulding, a salvation
army leader on the charge of coun-
terfeiting, has resulted in the dis.
covery Of what is probably one OF
the most extensive counterfeiting
schemes unearthed by the United
States authorities for a long time.
For more than year the town
and the state have been flooded
with counterfeit silver dollars and
spurious $40 pieces. Several months
ago a young locksmith was arrest
ed and several dies were found in
his possession, but since then the
circulation of counterfeit money
has increased. The testimony up
on which Spaulding was arrested
was given by young man named
Haidlaw, who Immediately disap-
peared and the United States Of
ticers are doing everything possible
to find him.
Haidlaw's statement was that
Spaulding was one OF the men who
put in circulation the stuff after it
was coined and after the counter
feiting was done in a secret tunnel
near the city.
Haidlaw offered to conduct an
officer into the underground minis
and introduce him as a pal and
arrangements for the trip were
made, but Haidlaw did not show
up again. The officers are inclined
to the belief that Haidlaw had
been made away with by the coun-
terfeiters, who became aware that
he had peached. He told the Of
ticerS that lot OF counterfeit dol
lars could be found in the chimney
of an old variety theatre where it
had been dumped by one of the
men who thought himself hard
pressed. The stuff was found to-
day as he had indicated. Several
arrests have recently been made
on testimony furnished by him
and in each case counterfeit money
was found on the persons arrested,
so the officers are inclined to place
considerable credence in his story
about the underground mint. A
request has been sent to Washing
ton for the assistance of a secret
service officer in ferreting out the
cOunterfeiters.
