A SOFT GLOVE FAKE.
Arkansas Hot Springs Contest Will
Not BE Prize Fight-Fitz Prob
ably Won't Agree to Use
Baby PILLOWS.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. ia confer
ence between the citizens committee and
officials of the Florida association was
held last night. Gen. Taylor was before
the committee and to him was submitted
the revised articles of agreement and the
fiye-ounce gloves which the men propose
to use in the contest for scientific points.
Whatever was accomplished by the COM
mittee is kept profound secret. Mayor
Waters intlma tes that there will be some
early and interesting developments as a
result of this conference.
Gov. Clarke is expected to arrive in
the city this evening. In view of the de-
termination expressed by the governor
to arrest either Corbett or Fitzsimmons
upon their arrival in the state the fact
that Corbett has been here almost twenty
four hours and has not yet been placed in
custody gives color to the belief that the
governor was playing game of bluff.
The failure of the governor to carry out
this program also has had the effect of
increasing the confidence of the public in
the ability of the local committee to
bring of this contest under the revised
contract entered into by the Florida
Athletic club and William H. Brady, man
ager for Corbett.
1t is thought by many that Fitzsim-
mons will refuse to sign the articles as he
was not looking for soft glove contest
for limited number of rounds. The five
ounce gloves submitted to General Tay-
lor for inspection looked as large as baby
pillows and as harmless. Nearly all the
members of the prize fighting contingent
have put in appearance. Peter Maher
and Steve O'Donnell came in on the same
train last night as did Corbett.

The Combined Powers Force Their
Scheme for the Benefit Of the
Armenians.
CHRISTIAN OFFICERS 70 HAVE CONTROL
A Comprehensive Plan Which the
Turkish Government Has Had
to Consent To--A Rus

Constantinople, Oct. 16.-Said Pasha
has accepted the scheme for reform in
Armenia drawn up by Great Britain,
France and Russia, and 1t now awaits the
signature of the sultan. The scheme ia
almost Identical with the proposals of
last May, which, in substance, were that
the governors and vice-governors of Van,
Ezeroum. Livas, Botlis, Khartoum and
Trebizond may be Christian or Musselman
according to the inclination of the popu-
lations. But either the governor or vice.
governor is to be a Christian and the ap-
pointments are to be confirmed by these
powers. Local and not state officials are
to collect the taxes and enough money is
to be retained before it is forwarded to
Constantinople to pay the expenses of
the local administration.
Complete changes will be made in the
judicial system. Torture is to be abol-
ished and the prisons will be under sur
veillance. The police will be composed of
Christians and Turks equally and the
laws against compulsory conversions to
Islamism will be strictly enforced.
The ambassadors of the powers expect
the whole question will be finally settled
during this week by the promulgation of
an imperial decree.
Contrary to the general expectation,
the high commissioner, who will be
charged with the execution of this scheme
of reform, will be Christian. This was
the hardest pill for the porte to swallow
and for long time it threatened to bring
about most serious complications.
Russian war ship has arrived here.
The situation at Ismid is critical. Chris
tians are apprehensive of Turkish out
