Might FIphtin Mexico.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Minister Romero of Mexico, speaking without official in forma tion, inclined to the belief this afternoon that the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons fight might be brought off within the Mexican borders, if all parties concern ed so agreed. The place said to have been selected is in the state of Tamau- lipas. MT Romero said that the vari- ous states were independent and su- preme over their own territory in re- gard to police regulations. He believed that the state had no law against prize fighting. President Diaz has been quot ed as bein opposed to the fight taking place in Mexico, but this opposition, as MT. Romero understands it, was re- stricted to the City of Mexico itself, which is controlled by the federal gov- ernment. Although the president has no authority over the state of Tamauli- pas any suggestion from him. Mr. Ro- nero thought, would have weight

Cincinnati, April 5.-''Neither of the
great political parties can afford to
ignore the silver issue in the next
presidential campaign. 1t will over

This decisive statement was made
by President Andrews, of Brown uni
versity. Mr.. Andrews was one Of the
representatives of the United States
in the last international monetary
conference and prefaced his conversa-
ton by this statement:
''I was appointed on the COMMITTEES

DO you think the Republicans will
be forced to declare for free silver to
catch the western states?" asked the
reporter.

they must make some concessions to
silver. They must pledge themselves
to strive for an international agree
ment or perhaps even promise more
than that. l do not think the time
has come for this country to take the
initiative in restoring silver at a
given ratio to gold.

THE immediate result would be

turned loose. We should wrest from

WICKERSHAM GONE.
His Bondsmen Will Make No Effort
to Find Him, But VIII Pay the
Forfeit.

Boise, Idaho, April 5.-W. C. Wicker
sham, ex-auditor and recorder of Elmore
county. under indictment for forgery, has
skipped his bail, and Judge Stockslager
has instructed the district attorney to
commence suit to recover on his bond.
Shortly after Wickersham vacated the
office, the commissioners became suspi-
cious, and had the books exported. The
report of the expert showed that Wicker
sham had been guilty of gross irregulari-
ties. 1t was shown he had duplicated
an immense amount of warrants and col
lected illegal fees, robbing the county Of
something like $4,000. Friends effected a
settlement with the county but Wicker
sham was indicted for forgery, and dupli-
cation of warrants. When the informa-
ton was filed against him, he failed to
appear. There will be no effort to appre-
bend him, as friends of his father now
deceased), exerted an influence which re-
suited in an understanding that he
should quietly disappear. The elder Wick
ersham was one of the foremost men of
the state at one time.

SAMPLING OF ORES.
Another Provision of the Tariff Law
to Be Put in Practice.

Washington. April 5.-The treasury
Department is making preparations
to put into execution the provision of
the tariff law requiring silver and
lead ores imported into the United
States to be assayed and sampled at
the port of entry. Representatives of
the lead-producing states, headed by
Senator Dubois, made vigorous
fight for this requirement when the
tariff bill was before Congress, con-
tending that without this provision it
was possible to bring large quanti-
ties Of lead into the country without
requiring the payment of any duty
whatever. The original provisions Of
the tariff bill, providing only for a
duty on lead ore where the value of
the lead in the ore was greater than
any other metal in it, were especially
Objectionable to those who sought
protection against Mexican importa-
tons The bill was amended in the
Senate and, as it became law. pro-
vides a duty of q of cent d pound
on all lead ores, or ores, of other
metals The amount of lead is to be
ascertained by smpling and assaying
at the port of entry. The law says
the method of sampling and assaying
is to be that usually adopted for COM
mercial purposes by public sampllng
works in the United States. The as
saying and sampling will be let to the
lowest responsible bidders at various
ports at which silver-lead ore is i'm
ported. FL Paso, Tex, being the
principal one.

CONFIDENT OF THE FUTURE.
Silver Has Survived Its Many SLAM
dererS.

New York, April 5.-John F. Har-
man, of the firm of Handy & Har-
man, when asked his opinion as to
the future of silver. replied:
while 1 think that the recent rise
in silver was largely due to talk of
peace between China and Japan,
do not think that the question of in
demnity has been such an important
factor as some people profess to be
lieve. No matter what method Is
adopted in the payment by China to
Japan of an indemnity. I am not in
clined to think that it will have any
great effect upon the demand for
silver.
THE proposal of a German none
tary conference has undoubtedly had
the effect of stimulating the demand
for silver to some extent, but Of the
future of that metal it is not possible
to predict Silver has survived its
slanderers and 1 look to the future
with confidence"
