The New Zealand Gentleman Has
Last Round in the Talking
Match.
Gives 1t Out Straight He Will
Not Fight in the State Of
Arkansas.
Nor Under Auspices of Florida
Athletic Club--SO Also
Says Julian.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 2.-No
matter what the result of the legal pro-
ceedings may be, the chances are now
100 to l that there will be no fight be-
tween Corbett and Fitzsimmons. The
latter made statement at II a m. to a
correspondent of the Associated Press
which virtually disposes of the matter.
He said positively and in good English,
which admitted Of no misunderstand-
ing or misconstruction:
There will be no fight in Arkansas.
I am done with the Florida Athletic
club and have no use for the citizens of
Little Rock. tell You that there
VIII he No Fight in Arkansas"
The assertion was made during n con-
vcrsation in FitZsimm, rs room in the
Capital hotel. Julian, his manager, had
made II long statement Of the troubles
he had endured frcm Corbett and
Brady, of how they had evaded all his
fair propositions, and declined to agree
to anything that did not favor Corbett.
There was nothing new i'll his remarks.
They related entirely to things that
nave been published and republised dur
ing the long talking match between the
pugllists and their managers. AS he
finished, Julian said:
1--WE are going to Hot Springs when
we get through here, but we will have
nothing to do with the fight in which
the Florida Athletic club, the citizens
Of Hot Springs, Brady, Corbett and the
rest of that gang have anything to do"
do you mean that youi will not fight
i'll any deal that may be managed by
the Florida Athletic club or the citizens
of Hot Springs:'
The question was put direct to Fitz-
simmons, and the reply came like
flash:
II mean just that. I will engage in
no fight managed by, the Florida Ath-
Lite club or by the citizens of Hot
Springs. There will be no fight in
Arkansas"
Earlier in the interview, Fitzsimmons
said he would not fight in this state if it
was against the law
II am law abiding citizen, I am,"
he said, and will not break the law.
do not want to go to prison if I know
myself
He said, regarding the possibility of
tr, uble between himself and Corbett if
they met:
Il will not start any trouble, but
there will be no Philadelphia business
over again.
This was an allusion to the barrOOm
scrap i'll the City Of Brotherly Love,
when Corbett spat in his face
"Ill give him all the fight ha wants if

Rebels Are Gaining a Great

Another Attempt to Burn the
American College at
MarsOvan.

NARNA, Bulgaria, Nov.2
to advices received here from Constanti-
nople, a most serious condition of fairs
exists there. There seems to be no
doubt that the report of the discovery of
a plot against the palace ON Monday
evening last is correct, and three Mus
sulmans are said to have been arrested
at StambOul in connection with it. In
addition several houses have been
searched and a quantity of arms has
been seized.
Considerable alarm is reported to
exist at, the Yildiz Kiosk, in conse-
quence of the fact that Albanian guards
refuse to do duty there any longer. 1t
is supposed that the guards were
suborned by the Mussulman committee
and there seems to be little doubt but
that eight of the soldiers were executed
and "a others We're sent to the different
prisons.
Important Events Anticipated.
In Anatolia, the telling of discomfort
against the rule of the sultan is becom-
ing SO marked that important events
are expected to take place shortly.
The fusion of the Mussulman
and Armenian committees, is believed
to be imminent, and it is said upon
good authority that joint revolutinary
manifesto will shortly be issued.
The Turkish government is aware of
the serious aspect which affairs are TAX
ing, and it is evident that desperate
efforts are being made in Constantinople
to raise money with which to provide
for the calling out of the army reserves.
Tried to Burn the American College.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, Nov. 2-Advices
from Marsovan, Asia Minor, show that
the trouble which was anticipated by
the United States ambassador; Mr.. Ter
rell, in a dispatch to the state depart
ment at Washington, in August last,
has eliminated in an attempt to burn
the American college there. 1t is added
that the would be incendiaries have not
been discovered.

Near Approach OF Forest Fires.

NehE ARREOuCu % tOEeSt FIEcss
Forest fire in the Black Hills has
done much damage the past week.
The flames reached the Summit,
Wednesday, and destroyed several
buildings including T. u. Slater's resi-
dence. Chas. Granger, OF this city,
had his hands and face badly blistered,
while endeavoring with others to stay
its progress. Joseph Stripf started for
the mill, Wednesday, but was obliged
to return. He says that the fury of
the destroying element is sight
never to be forgotten, and that when
the flames strike pitchy tree it runs
the whole length with wonderful
speed. Mr.. S. fears that some of the
residents whose houses are surrounded
by fire have been unable to escape.
Simpsons camp, ON Hartstein Is
land is reputed to have been destroyed,
and his camp at Kamilche has been in
danger.
Williamson's camp, near Shelton,
has been saved by the superhuman
efforts of his men, who have been
kept on the roofs for several days.
So near have the flames approached
the Westside that, like the ranger on
the prairie, the people set back-fire
to burn the underbrush before the
flames from the forest reached the
border.

ter, Tomorrow Night.
The appearance OF this eminent lee
turer aud author at Olympia Theater,
tomorrow evening, will give an inter
est to brief sketch of this wholly
American and entirely unique pro-
motcr of Joy and sunshine on the
pathway OF life.
Probably no writer has made
more people happy by his wit and
humor than Samuel l.. Clemens.
Wherever the English language is
spoken-or the German, for several OF
his works were translated into that
tongue-his charming originality in
depicting the humorous side OF ma
ture, is known and appreciated. Mr..
Clemens was born in Monroe county,
Mo-, Nov. Both, 1895. After acquiring
a common school education and grad
uating from u printing office, he be-
came pilot on Mississippi river
steamboats,, where he picked up his
pen.name MARX Twain" from the
call OF the leadsman to indicate two
fathoms in sounding the shallow
places in the bosom of the Father Of
Waters" In 1861 he became editor
OF the Virginia City (Neb.) Enterprise,
aud in 1865 reporter on the San Fran
cisco Morning Call. The succeeding
year he visited the Hawaiian Islands,
and upon his return delivered humor.
GUS lectures in California. 1t was
about this time that his famous story
of the " Jumping Frog" appeared. In
1867 he joined party of tourists to
the Mediterranean, Egypt and Psles.
tine, from which he obtained the ma
terial for the book which established
his reputation, Innocents Abroad"
He next edited the Buffalo IN. W
Express, and delivered witty lectures
in many cities. In 1872 he went to
England on a lecturing trip. The
same year appeared his famous work
Roughing It," containing sketches
OF Nevada, California, Utah and the
Sandwich Islands. In 1873, he pub.
lished in conjunction with Chas. Dud-
ley Warner story entitled The
Gilded Age" which was dramatized in
1874, and was a great success with
John T. Raynard in the leading part
