consent to British occupation Of the

Mr.. Bayard, after reading an article
published in a New York newspaper
dated from Washington, October 3. said
that the facts in the case seemed to
have been devolvcd in the fertile brain
of the writer in the same manner that a
spider finds the material for its web from

lie ridiculcd the statement of an ulti-
matum having been drawn up by the
United States and said he could not Sc
riously discuss the matter.
The fact, however, remains that since
the diplomatic break between Great Bri-
tain and Venezuela some years ago the
United States has been anxious to bring
about friendly settlement of the queS-
ton and has rendered its good Offices to
Great Britain with this object in view
and had repeatedly endeavored to find
means for it's solution. The same situa-
ton continues at present and the longer
the matter was allowed to drift the more
anxious would the United States become
to see it definitely settled. That was all
Mr.. Bayard could say about the matter.

CORRETT EN- ROUTE.

TcXarkana, Ark, Oct. 15.-Champion
]. J. Corbett passed through TeXarkana
this afternoon en- route to Hot Springs.
About 300 people were at the depot to get
glimpse Of the champion of the world.
They were disappointed, however; Mr..
Corbet remainedN close in the sleeper
and did not show himself A reporter
went in and being personally acquainted
with the champion, obtained an audience.
Corbctt looked like gladiator and
says he feels able TO vanquish Fitzsim-
mons without another days training.
Il am Disguised with the business"
he said, 81 am losing valuable time and
don't believe we will fight in Hot Springs.
| am going there on orders, but | don't
fancy the move"
The reporter asked if he would fight
Fitzsimmons privately and without II
side purse.
I'm fight him for fun. Fitzsimmons
is doing lot of blowing and is running a
big bluff. He can easily afford to make
wild statements.
IF we fight he has everything to gain
and nothing to lose, while / have every
thing to lose and scarcely anything to
gain. If the fight has to be pulled off in
private | will be compelled to fight for
glory and amusement. FitZSimmonS'
SlO,0OO stake money has been attached
and have, $4,000 deposited practically
against nothing"
How many rounds do you think it will
take for you to put FitZsimmons to
sleep"
Il believe Fitzsimmons is the best man
ever ran against, but if you will only
stop to think moment, l never fought
4 man who gave me the least trouble.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons may lick me. but if he
does he will have accomplished ire
mendous undertaking"
Now, Corbctt, on the dead, do you
think for n moment that Fitzsmmons
has any chance to VIM"
Candidly, | do not; I feel fully able
to beat Lanky Bob, and if you have any
money to bet on the result take my adj
vice and place ii on jim Corbctt."

himself for this, since he does not take

interstate commerce law, the elevation
of the secretary of agriculture to be a

A Cable to Honolulu.

The Review of Reviews has this to
say about an ocean telegraph to connect
the United States With Hawaii:
Long before the plan Of a cable line from
Canada across the Pacific was ever thought of
there had been much discussion of line con.
Meeting the Sandwich Islands with California
The United States government has made eX-
tensive surveys and soundings in order to dis
cover the best route. Ninety per cent of the
actual business to be transacted over a cable
line connecting the islands with North Amer
lea would probably pertain to the United
States The Japanese government has shown
some interest in the establishment of a cable
line to the United States by way of Hawaii
and Japan's new prominence and expansion
of policy will unquestiOnably add very much
to this interest. There would seem to be no
reason, then, for the sudden abandonment Of
the long considered plan Of a Pacific cable from
California to Honolulu and thence to Japan
where it would have connection with all parts
of Asia. But if the United States should too
eagerly abet the plan for cable from New
Zealand to the western terminus Of the North
ern Pacific railroad the result might be very
greatly to diminish the prospects Of an Amer
lean line that would probably serve our pur-
poses more completely. It is quite true that
we should derive much commercial benefit
from any line, regardless Of its precise land
ing place on the North American seaboard
But inasmuch as our government has already
incurred considerable outlay in locating cable
route from California it would seem peculiar
to say the least, if we should without discus
sion abandon that idea, and not only give our
commercial encouragement to the proposed
line under British auspices, but also go so far
as to make over to Great Britain an island in
the Hawaiian group.
