 mons Viii Come Of.
ANXIOUS TO FACE THE MAN
Who Has Dared to Challenge Him-SayS He Will Then
 Retire, Win or Lose.

ATLANTA, Jan. 7.-James J. Corbett, who opened an engagement at the Grand tonight, said in an interview today that he is anxious to il ght Fitzsimmons, as much for the pleasure of whipping him as for the purse.
 When asked of his intentions in the future Corbett said:
 1T shall retire from the ring after this fight with Fiizsimmons. Win or lose, shall leave the ring after this fight. am only going into this fight because want to whip Fizsimmons. We are to fight for sGl ,C03, and pledge you my word l would not take S45 QUO cash and call the fight off. am willing and anxious to fight FItzsim- mons before anything or anybody in this or any other country.
 Corbett WAS asked if he thought the fight would ever take place.
 "Ot course It will, he replied. Ihe match has been made, the money IS up and the fight must and will come oh. think that Il will come off in Jacksonville in September next. There is no law in Florida to prevent it. Governor Mitchell used every means in his power to stop my fight with Charlie Mitchell and was nnsuc- eessfai. That proved conelusively that the fight can be pulled of in Jacksonville. besides the people of Florida and Jackson Vile e5peclolly are an xlouS TOT the uRul O take place in that city on account of the immense amount Of money which those who will go to see it will spend.
 The champion expressed the opinion that prizs fl h Ing would lastias long as the worlu tasted, and referred lu the .ompara- lively few men who have been killed lu the prize ring. IA champion has never been killed, '' ne said. tIhose who have been killed were the victims of accidents.'
 Corbett declined to say how long he thought hls fight with Filzsim- mons would last. 'sNo one can tell how long fight will last. It depends upon the openings man gets. can't tell what my opponent will do when he goes into ring. Therefore 1 can't tell what l will do nor how many rounds a fight will last. ''-
 Iorbett was asked the relative position of FItzsimmons and Jackson as puglIists.
 ''ln Jackson's day he was better mau thau Fiizsimmons ever was or ever will be. But think tnal Jackson is now played out and is no longer any good,o he answered.

Tho Bond Bill.

The bond bill reported by tho ways
aud means committee Of tho house OF
representatives, though it may not be
what is wanted most, is at least an
earnest OF the desire OF tho committee
to do something to afford the treasury
relief from the plight it is in as re-
suit, in part, OF that same committees
tariff policy. However, there is small
prospect that the measure will pass,
even with the assistance OF the Repub-
licans who will give it support.
The committee did no, divide on
party lines and the majority report.
which will be made to the house to-day,
will BIO signed by members OF both
parties, the Republican leader, Mr..
Reed. being one OF them. 1t is expected
however that half, II not more, OF tine
Democrats in the house will oppose the
measure, and not more than half OF the
Republican side will support it. Even
ii it should get through tho house there
ia small likelihood OF its passing the
senate.
The chances for relief at the hands OF
the present Congress are not bright,
unless the sentiment OF Concressmen
has undergone radical change IN tho
past twenty-lour hours, which is not
probable.

oil tho enemy's gunboats approached tho
Japanese tleot flying white flag. When
communication was had with her it was
ascertained that she brought message
from Admiral Ting, Of tho Chinese navy,
Offering to surrender Wei. Hai.Woi and
his vessels. providing that the lives Of
tho soldiers, crows and foreigners were
secured. Tho report said formal sur.
render had not been arranged at that
time.
This morning intelligence was re.
ceived hero Of tho surrender Of the
Chinese forts aud warships at Wei-Hai-
Wei. The surrender 10 complete aud
the Japanese are in full possession Of

SHANGHAI. Feb. l3.-It i, reported in

Their immunity from destruction is
ascribed to the fact OF tho Chen Yuen

Of dumping hcr sewage into tho Missis.

tho scheme may DO stopped aud that
chicago will have to find some othor

people OF St Louis aud o,hor cities on

that the two old timo rivals Of tho west
viii at last lock horns in u real battle,
In the result OF which tho future health.
iulnoss OF both cities Is involved. The
country will watch tho progress OF tho
contest with interest.
But tho St. Louis lawyers arc not tho
otisy ones that aro to give Chicago trou.
bic. This same drainage canal scheme
bids fair to provoke m international
squabble. The canal, when in opera.
ton, will draw ten thousand cubic icct
oil water per second from Lake Michi.
gun aud tho people on tho Canadian
side oil tho lake arc protesting on that
account, The Chicago engineers claim
that this enormous amour. OF water
Will be necessary to carry OF tho SOW
aye oil tho city to poison the water sup.
ply OF St. Louis. They also claim that
tho draught on Lake Michigan will not
lower tho surface OF the water three
inches, but Canadian engineers who
have carefully figured on the matter,
say that the lake will DO lowered loot,
which would make big difference in
many harbors and necesaitate tho cx.

Anu SO II 10 that with the protesting
Canadians on the north OF her. and tho
protesting St Louisians on the south OF
her, Chicago's great and expensive
scheme OF getting rid o. her sewage to
the discomfort OF her neighbors Is
pretty certain to involve her in embar.
