SPORTING GOSSIP.

The Ross.Ahearn fight was for
mally declared off yesterday after
noon. Arrangements are pending
to have the two spar three rounds
at the Opera house Sunday night
in conjunction with Corbett's ex-
hibition. |
The Swedish oarsman, Henry
Peterson, arrived in the city from
San Francisco yesterday on his
way to Austin, where he will take

Dandy Jim was beaten in I'll

yesterday by Nightingale anu
Onaqua for purse Of 81 500.
That Dan Stuart's physical cul-
ture exhibition will take place is
dead moral certainty. An opinion
prevails that it can be pulled off
right in New Orleans without
trouble. But while this may be
out Of the question, there is an
island in the Rio Grande, near
Eagle Pass, over which neither the
United States nor Mexico have
Jurisdiction, where the fight can be
had. 1t is said Col. Stuart has the
matter under advisement. The
citizens of Ardmore, l. T., are en-
thusiastic over the fight. They pro-
pose to convert Corbett and Fitz-
simmons members of the Chica-
saw tribe in order that the fight
may be pulled off without interior
ence. Corbett says he is willing to
paint his face red, wear feathers in
his hair and do anything to get a
chance at FitZsimmons. Ell Paso,
which is second to none, when it
comes to sport, is also after the
fight, and if dollars and dimes can
do it the fight will certainly take
place near Ell Paso.
During all this time Dan Stuart
is saying nothing but saving wood

Decision Likely To b Announced Nez
Monday-Probable Tenor.


WASHINGTON, May lit is learned
definitely that a conclusion was reached
on the income tax at Saturdays consul.a-
ton of the supreme court, and that it Is
confidently expected to have the opinion
in the case ready for announcement next
Monday. No authoritative statement as
to which way the decision will be can
be secured. of course. but all that can
be learned fayors the upholding of the law
on the points that remain. A member Of
the court is responsible for the statement
that there will probably be two opinions,
and while he did not go to the extent of
indicating on which side the majority
opinion would be he said that a member
Of the majority would write the opinion
on that side, which would be the opinion
OF the court, while some member of the
minority would express the opinion on
the other side and there would probably
be no independent, individual opinions
as before.
The present intention Is to make the
opinions comparatively brief. They will
cover only the questions left undecided in
the first decision, as to whether the void
provisions cUver the whole act, whether
the act as 1t affects income from personal
property as such are unconstitutional be-
cause 1t provides for direct taxation of
them and whether the tax is invalid on
account OF want of uniformity. The I'M
Outstanding now is that Justice Harlan
will prepare the majority opinion sus-
tanning the law. -
The officials OF the government inter.
ested in revenues are much more hopeful
of a favorable decision, and while formerly
expressing the belief that the law would
be upset now say they believe that Jus.
/ tice jackson has voted in favor of the con.
stitutionality Of the law, at least as re.
/ CARDS the points Oh which the court was
divided

Government of American Cities.

WASHINGTON, May H.-President Har-
Alison called the Southern Baptist con.
vention to order. The feature of interest
about the discussions was what was said
by ]. ID. Christian, of kentucky, in a re-
port upon the work among the foreigners
OF the United States (who represented IL
per cent Of the population). He referred
TO the concentration of the alien popula.
ton in big cities. Five cities" said he,
contain one sixth Of the population
of this country. Those cities are domi.
mated by foreigners and the foreigners
are dominated by rum and Romanism.
We must" he urged, ''evangelize them OF
they will overwhelm u.s."
At the evening session Rev. J. b. Haw.
thorne. of Georgia, delivered an address:
which was practical announcement thai
the time for q reunion Of the northern and
southern churches had not come, and sc
far as the southern church was concerned
probably never would come.

WASHINGTON, May 14-Minister Dupuy
de LONE, OF spain, says the Tampa story
as to bloody battle in which Loo or
more Spanish troops were slaughtered is
absurd. He does not regard q denial
necessary, but he expresses surprise that
the public should be misled into crediting
a tragedy wA.ch, il true, would be of such
magnitude as to be known by the whole
world
The minister points out that such a
great engagement would not have escaped
the attention of the American correspon-
dents on the ground. He says the reports
of Geographic wires being cut are untrue.
The wires are in full use, and there is no
restriction on communicating full infor.
nation to the outside world. He adds
that there can be no battles, as there is
no enemy other than small scattered
bands, who are carrying on q guerilla or
swamp warfare.

Monday-Its Probable Tenor.
WASHINGTON, May IA phase Of the
important pending question between
England and Venezuela, in which the
United States has interviewed to ask arbi.
tration, is involved in the demand Of the
state department for the resignation Of
United States Minister Haselton, on ser.
ious charges made by Admiral Meade.
Minister Haselton regards the charges as
inspired by pique, and as evidence OF this
he cites political representations Of q d.
rect and indirect character BIZ which he
says Admiral Meade sought to impress
the Venezuelan government and public
that the visit Of the United States squad.
ron was something moro than a courtesy,
and involved assurances that the United
States was about to lend the strength OF
its navy to maintain Venezuela against
Great Britain.
venezuelans Disapprovo of the Admiral.
The minister says this impression char
acterzed all the admiraPs actions while
the United States fleet was in Venezuelan
waters. 1t was SO marked as to attract
the notice Of Venezuelans. The govern.
ment officials, who were we'll informed on
the pacific character of the visit, were
surprised that the impression should be
given that there was political significance
in the visit. Haselton says this course
aroused a decided feeling Of disapproval
among government authorities. They
did not, he says, care to be patconized
when, as they understood the facts, the
visit of the fleet was an incident to its be.
ing in southern waters, and was not in
tended as an evidence of the position Of
the United states on the International
question involved.
The Minister Must Go, However.
The minister referred to Admiral
Meade's add.ess as something more than
an expression of tine official courtesies,
impression that the United States sailors
were there as an evidence of the political
policy of the United States. 1t was stated
at the White House that the action taken
in the case OF Minister Haselton would
not be recalled, and that Haselton would
not return to Venezuela as minister of
the United States. 1t was also stated
that it would be no use for Haselton's
friends to plead for him-as he has ar.
ranged for-as the proof of his misdoing
was conclusive. II he doesn't resign, il
seems, he will be dismissed.
