PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1~0.-Champion
James j. Corbett and Robert Fiszsimmons
had an impromptu scrap tonight in the
bar room Of Green's Hotel. but
neither man was injured. Corbett
reached this city about IL 80 O'Clock from
Wilmington, where he spared four rounds
with John Mcvay. He. in company with
his brother Joe and some friends, went
down to their hotel, where they met Fitz-
simmons in the bar room. Corbett walked
up TO the New Zealander and said:
well you're shooting off your mouth
again about me funking out Of that bicycle
race and that you would pun my nose.
Now, IN do the nose pulling" and with this
remark the big champion gave
Roberts nasal organ a smart tweak. The
two men ciinched, but before any damage
was done they were separated. Fitzsim-
mons then turned upon Joe Corbett, who
had grabbed the lanky fighter and attempt
ed to butt him with his head. Joe broke
away from Fitz, at the same time say
Ing, you big -; you can't whip me. to
say nothing Of my brother"
Fitzsimmons reached around, picked up
. decanter and hurled 1t at Joe Corbett,
but 1t went wide of its mark. He then
grabbed a castor. and was in the act of
throwing it at young Corbett when he was
seized by a special officer. When the quar-
rel had apparently been smoothed over,
Jim Corbett walked over to Fitzsimmons
and spat In his face. The New Zealander
was apparently not anxious to tackle the
champion, and Fitzsimmons was taken out
OF the hotel by some friends.

MIR. GLADSTONE TALKS
HE DISCUSSES THE AMERICAN CUES
TIOS WITH DIR. LoRIMER.
The Aged Statesman Anxious for the
Cooperation OF This Government
I'm Securing Reforms.

LONDON. Aug. l0.-The Rev. George c.
Lor mer. d. D., of Boston, tastor of
Tremont Temple, who is now in this city
en- a vacation and who Is we'll anown
throughout England. was invited to lunch
with Mr.. Gladstone. who invited his visitor
to him to the Armenian meet
ing, at Chester, on Tuesday last. After
the luncheon DR.. Lorimer had n couple of
hours conversation with Mr.. Gladstone in
the latter's library. They discussed the
various aspects of the Armenian question.
Mr.. Gladstone laying the greatest weight
upon the cooperation of the United States
In the matter. Mr.. Gladstone said: Il am
desirious to have America specially Inter-
ested in the work of Armenian reform.
Whenever England has dealings with the
Sultan the Ottoman government thinks it
Is actuated by some Interior motive. But
America occupies SO independent a position
and is so far removed from the seat Of
European politics that its public opinion
will have great influence in the East.
DR.. Lorimer informed the reporter that
Mr.. Gladstone spoke these words with con-
siderable feeling. and the Boston divine re-
marked: NO one could fail TO be con-
virced that the stories of Armenian out
RACES have moved Mr.. Gladstone deeply"
DR.. Lorimer was much impressed with Mr..
Gladstone's wonderful vitality and fire. TIE
deep animation during his speech which he
made in the town hall at Chester thrilled
the audience.
The correspondence between a Turk,
khahil Khalin. Of Angora, As.atic Turkey,
and Mr.. Gladstone, on Armenia, was pub
lished to-day. The former accused Mr..
Gladstone of uttering statements based on
hearsay evidence alone, which, the Turk
stated, Is setting the Eastern people at
enmity with each other, causing much
bloodshed, raising political disputes and
Withholding from the Turks liberty and
progress. Khahil Khalin adds: 1T is little
worthy of you to lave won a name as a
great man to persist in abusing individuals
and a race merely because they are Mo-
hommedans."
Mr.. Gladstone, on Thursday last, replied
to the Turk. saying: II make no charge
against the Turks at large; but, against the
Turkish government l make charges of
which. they have been proven guilty by
public, authority. In my opinion l have
been a far better friend of the Ottoman
empire than the Sultan and his advisers.
/ have always recommended the granting
of reasonable powers and local self-govern-
ment which would have saved them from
the horrible losses. This advice was
spurned and consequently Turkey lost 49,
900. 900 Of people and may lose more. Pray
weigh these words"
