New York, September SO.-Prior to
his departure for his training quarters
in Texas, Champion jim COrbett to-day
gave New Workers an exhibition n
Madison Square Garden of how he is
training for his coming fight with Bob
Fitzsimmons, the Australian. He ar
rived in this city about noon to-day,
accompanied by his brother, his trainer
and sparring partners, and immedi-
ately repaired to the big garden.
There were nearly a thousand per-
sons in the building and they gave
Jim a rous.ng reception when he ap-
peared in the arena dressed in black
tights and a red scarf tied about his
waist. Despite adverse criticism, Cor
bett looked very we'll, albeit he Showed
a lack of training, but as he has a
month in which to put himself in per-
feet trim for the big contest, there is
little doubt that he will be all right
in time.
Corbett started with his usual days
training by working the chest and
wrist machines, punching the bag,
wrestling and boxing with Daily, DON
aldson, Delaney and O'Donnell He
followed this with a very lively game
Of hand-ball and finished the after
Moons exercises with a three-miIe run,
and although he had scarcely a min
utes rest during the entire two ana a
half hours, he finished up good and
strong.
AT $50 tonight, the entertainment
was resumed and between six and
seven thousand sports were present.
There were about 100 policemen in tho
Garden in charge of Inspector Brooks
and Captain Hickel, who controls the
once famous "Tenderloin" precinct.
Consequently, there was little slug
ging by the various boxers Of second
airy reputation, who amused the audi
ence until Corbett appeared.
Steve O'Donnell, of Australia, and
Jim Dwyer, of Elizabeth, n. j., who
was formerly with Bob Fitzsimmons
as a sparring partner, engaged in a
set-to. 1t was so friendly that O'Don-
nell's nose was bleeding before the end
of the first round from the effect Of
Dwyer's gloved right hand. AZ the
end of the third and last round the
men shook hands, but many of those
who saw the bout declare that Maher
woud be more than match for the big
Australian if ODonnell does not i'm
prove before they meet in Texas.
At II o'clock tonight Corbett jumped
through the ropes for a go with
Tom Forrest, of Sheepshead Bay. In
response to a demand for a speech, Cor
bett said
Ladies and Gentlemen:-I am going
to Texas tomorrow to get myself
ready to meet Bob FitzsimmOns.
have the utmost confidence in the
Florida Athletic Club, and from what
you have seen in the papers you can
easily see that we are willing to fight.
and we don't wish to come back from
Texas without settling the question.
For my part, 1 am willing that the
Florida Athletic Club shall pull off the
fight wherever they choose"
The champion looked fat, but he can
easily reduce the pauncb he is carrying
within a month with steady training.
He spared three rounds with Forrest,
and followed it up with a similar go
with Steve ODonnell, and showed that
he had not forgotten any Of his clever
ring tactics.
This wound up the show.

ON THE DEAD
These vandals Visited Their Awful Spite
A Woman's Corpse DefiIed.

A Woman's Corpse DefiIed
TuckahOe, n. j., September 30.-Late
last night number of young men dis
covered the corpse of a woman lying
exposed beside an open grave in the To-
cal cemetery. Upon investigation it
was found to be the body of Mrs. Mary
Wallace, the deceased wife of a well
known prohibitionist of this place
The appearance of the coffin showed
that it had been roughly handled, and
the body had evidently been subjected
to rough usage also. A ring was miss
ing from one of the fingers. The news
of this discovery spread like wild-fire
and the town was soon in ferment of
excitement. An effort was made to
learn the identity of the vandals, but
without success. 1t is suspected that
it is the work of revenge on the part
of adherents of the loquOr party be-
cause of the attitude of the dead wo-
mans husband on that question.

Arrangements are being made for the

Secretary Herbert has issued circular in

tary of the Navy, Navy Department., by

TODAY'S CABINET MEETING.
The Financial Situation Discussed
RumOrs of IL lnnd ISSUE

RumOrs of IL Bond Issue.
There was a full attendance at today's
meeting of the cabinet and 1t is said that
important action was decided upon for the
prompt relief of the financial situation.
Throughout the progress Of the meeting
the President and bis advisers were kept
informed of the deliberations Of the House
over the bond bill reported by the ways
and means committee. 1t is known that
the bill does not fully meet the views of
the President and the Secretary of the
Treasury, and reports are again in cir
culaticn that another bond issue on prac-
tically the same terms as the last, will be
negotiated within the next few days.
A dispatch from Wall street intimates
that J. Pierpont Morgan and August Bel
mont have arranged to float a government
loan of as much as $280O0O,OO0. Authentic
information on this subject is refused at
the White House and the Treasury Depart
ment, and the stories are given for what
they are worth. Nearly all of them are
based on the theory that the President Is
convinced that no adequate relief can be
expected from Congress In its present
temper, and that he is compelled to resort
to the only meal within his power under
the law. Secretaries Olney and Carlisle
each had conference with the President
early in the mCsning before the assembling
of the cabinet The finances alSl the Eene-
Zuelan boundary commission We're the
principal topics of discussion at the meet
ing.

SMALL CALIBER BULLET.
Changes to Make 1t More Fatal In Its
Effects.

Reports received at the War Department
from the best sources touching the actual
results III warfare of the small-caliber bull
let now universally used in all armies,
show that as at present made the ball is
greatly lacking in stopping effect. Espe-
cially in the campaign made by the British
in Chitral was 1t found that the wounds
inflicted were not severe enough to stop
charge. AS the United States army is
now provided with thirty-caliber rifle and
the navy is gong even further in reducing
the caliher, these reports have caused the
ordnance officials to cast about for means
to correct this defect, without sacrificing
any of the valuable points of the new
weapon. The result is that the bullet,
made of case of thin, nickel-plated steel,
filled with lead, will have small portion
of the point cut off, exposing the lead core
there: The effect will be to cause the bull
let to "raushroom," or spread out, when
ever it penetrates the body, causing ter
rible and most destructive wound. that
would be almost sure to Immediately kill
or disable the person hit.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
The Bayard Resolution Considered by
the House Committee.


the House Committee.
The House committee on foreign affairs
today held a meeting and considered the
Barrett and Mccall resolutions relative to
the speeches of Ambassador Bayard. The
committee decided to report the Mccall
resolution in Il modified form. AS agreed
on it now calls upon the President for in
formation as to the alleged utterances of
Mr. Bayard, and the correspondence on the
subject. The resolution has been very
much tanned down and made mild In COM
parison to what it was when introduced.
1t was thought that in view of present cir
cumstanceS it would be much better to
make the resolution simply one of inquiry,
seeking information from the State Depart
nent.
The Cuban Revolution.
Another important question which came
forward was the Cuban revolution, which
was brought before the committee through
a resolution for recognition of the insur-
gents, introduced by Mr.. Bingham of Penn
sylyania 1t was the unanimous opinion of
the committee that Congress should not
take action until further information re-
garding the status OF the sebellion was in
its possession. so resolution calling upon
the State Department for correspondence
and information on the uprising was
drafted.
The Waller Case.
The case of ex-Consul Waller was
brought up and the resolution of Mr.. Mil
Ter of Kansas, asking the State Depart
ment for records of the trial and all corre
spondence with the French government will
be reported to the House.
Firing On the Henry Crosby.
Another resolution of inquiry will also be
reported, that introduced by Mr.. Fischer
of New York, concerning the firing upon
the schooner Henry Crosby by soldiers of
the government of San Domingo in De-
cember, 1898. Sailors from the schooner
were attempting to make landing when a
broadside was fired from muskets and sew
eral men were injured The officials of
San Domingo have explained that 1t was
thought the sailors intended to rescue a
convict, but no offers of reparation have
been made.

on that question for submission to a COM

is considerable valuable territory involved
in the settlement of this boundary dispute
including extensive gold beds in the Yukon
country.
