PRIZE FIGHT.

HoT SPRINGS, October 1S.-Champion
j. j. Corbett was arrested on warrant
sworn out before Justice w. A. Kirk
by Prosecuting Attorney C. v league
and asking that he be put under a
peace bond. Corbett refused to give
bond, and his attorneys, Greaves &
Martin, decided at once to apply for a
writ of habeas corpus. Should Corbett
be released on writ of habeas corpus,
of which there seems to be little
doubt, it is believed that there would
be no further interference on the part
of the governor, since the granting of
the writ would in effect be a judicial
declaration that boxing in Arkansas is
not violation of the law.
HoT SPRIaGs, October 21--The Cor
bett habeas corpus case terminated
with the release of Cor bett. Chancellor
Leatherpan holding that the state has
no statutory prohibition to prize fight
ing or glove contests. The attorney
general viii appeal 1t is now be-
lieved the fight will come off before
the matter can be finally adjudicated.

State Board of Health Does Not Find
Trichina i'm the Sabula Case.
DIES MONIES, October 19.--The state
board of health officers are now quite
confident that the wholesale poisoning
of 100 persons at a Sabula wedding
some time since was not caused by
trichina, as reported by prominent
physicians of Chicago, and the matter
is still great mystery. The Bulletin
of the state board of health, in speak
ing of the examinations made by the
board, says: "a portion of the spleen,
intestine, diaphragm and chest muscles
were sent to this Office and examined
very infinitely for several days by Mr..
Bay, bacteriologist of the board, and
by Prof. Clifton Scott, of Highland
Park College, and no trichina in any
stage of development were found, nor
any pathological conditions surely
indicative of LESSONS produced thereby. ("

Discussion as TO England's Best Intentions
-Growing Grave.
LONDON, October 19.-The st. james
Gazette makes sensational statements
| which seem to show that the dispute
between Venezuela and Great Britain
has become very grave. It says that
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies, has instructed
the governor Of British Guiana to
obtain without delay two Maxim guns
to be stationed on the frontier where
the Venezuelans may attempt to
cross. This is evidence that the
British government intends to hold the
frontier within the Schomburg line by
force If necessary. Chamberlain also
urges the cutting of military roads to
the frontier to enable the government
to better repel attempts at Venezuelan
aggression. He also recommends an
increase in the number of military and
police and the erection of barracks on
the frontier.
WASHINGTON, October 2O-In view
of the position taken by the British
government in the Venezuelan affair
as outlined in the dispatches from
London, leading diplomats in Wash
ington consider it settled that Great
Britain will insist that arbitration will
not, under any circumstances, embrace
the tract on the British Guiana side of
the Schomb urcr line
Venezuelan question is approaching an
acute stage, with possibilities of
resistance by the South American
government to British aggression, was
signified by disclosures made in New
York on the best authority. The
government of Venezuela is providing
itself with modern armament, and
among other supplies has ordered ten
improved Maxim guns from the British
firm which manufactures them. The
order was placed through New York
firm, and the English house, it is
supposed, does not know the destina-
ton of the goods. At the same time
the syndicate of United States capital
lists which has secured concessions on
the Venezuelan gold lands claimed by
Great Britain is preparing to send
large force Of prospectors, miners and
worlIingmen into the field.

MADRID, October 17.-El Nacional
says that the Spanish government has
not received any threat from the
government of the United States
respecting the treatment of the United
States consul at Havana, Mr.. Ramona
Williams. FL Nacional adds that the
government of Spain, in consequence
of the friendly representations of the
government of the United States, has
recognized the American consul as a
diplomatic ageht.
HAVANA, October 10. The insurgents
in Santa Clara have notified the in

Failure.

Some Further Details of the Richland Bank
Failure.
RICnLANp, OctoI er 20.-It now looks
as if the losses in the Richland bank
failure will foot up to S75, 900 or $780,
600, as claims are coming in from all
parts. The crime of forgery is reported
in many cases of notes which have been
put up as collateral to raise money.
A. c. Charlton, the cashier, has gone
no one knows where, and it is thought
he carried with him anywhere from
$40, 900 to 100000. SO far as the vault
of the bank shows, there is very little
assets, yet the safe has not been open
ed, as no one knew the combination
but Charlton, and an expert will have
to be employed, yet no one believes
but that it is empty. Quite number
of men will be ruined, in fact the loss
will effect the entire business of both
town and country for some dist ance
around.
RICHLAND, October 21.-As the in
vestigation of the failure of the bank
here progresses the darker grows the
trickery in the deal. Starller has
turned over to his creditors his private
notes, amounting $4,000 or $4,000,
which pauperizes him. He kept his
private notes in the bank for safe
keeping, where his partner, Charlton,
had access to them. Several thousand
dollars worth of them are missing, and
it is known that Charlton disposed of

The Trans-Baikal section of the ST.
berian Railway is now completed. The
original plans for this railway were
abandoned owing to the fact that they
would have necessitated the carrying
of the line to an elevation of 5000 feet
above the sea through arid districts
where but few settlers could make a
livelihood. A more southern route has
now been adopted, which, though con-
siderably longer, will run by four of the
principal rivers, through regions rich
in salt. soda, silver, copper, iron, lead
and gold, and in which many mines
have been opened out. Some $50 miles
cf the Siberian railway are open for
traffic, viz, Chelabinsk to Omsk, in the
vest, 500 miles, and Vladivostock to
t,rafskaja, in the east, $50 miles. Thus
Omsk is placed in direct communication
with Moscow and st. Petersburg. OF
the total length of 5000 miles from st.
Petersburg to Vladivostock, about 300
miles have still to be completed.

HERE'S A STATE Or THINGS.
England Has Sent an Uitimatum Il

LONDON, October ol.-The st. James
Gazette says: 1--WE are in position to
state that Premier Salisbury sent an
ultimatum to President Crespo, which
not only set out the demands of the
British government for reparation on
account of the arrest of a deputation
and inspector of police at Uruan. but
also states the terms on which Great
Britain will definitely determine the
boundary dispute. Salisbury and
Chamberlain are in perfect agreement
as TO the necessity of ending the
frontier dispute, even if Venezuela has
most effective in reaching an under
standing with the South American
republic.
WASHINGTON, October 2l.--An official
office covers the policy of Venezuela in
case the British attempt TO build the
military road recommended by British
Minister Chamberlain in his letter to
Governor Lees, of British Guinea. the
Venezuelan statement closes with the
significant sentence that ON the ques-
ton of building this road. the course
of Venezuela has been such that the
invading neighbors" cannot make
another step further on the Venezuelan
side of the line without at once
provoking collision"

The report of the British consul-gen-
erat at Frankfort on the trade of Ger
many states that the German mercan-
Tile marine has now far outdistanced
it's French rival. Notwithstanding the
special encouragements given to the
latter. 1t appears that the German fleet
of steamers, which in 1888 was still be-
hind the French now reaches total
of 100000 tons, the French being only
10000 tons. and the North American
$4,000 tons. The English commercial
fleet registered 9,5S5,000 tons and the
German commercial feet ! ,4S5,000 tons
in July, 1894, SO that Germany, although
second to England, is still far behind
her. The consul-general adds that the
German shipbuilding trade is making
considerable progress, though not to the
same extent as the English.

LONDON, October 1S-An Odessa dis

ing was left to pillage or kill The
soldiers assisted in the massacre with
their rifles. The better class of Turks
gave protection and shelter in their
own houses to the Armenian women
and children, SO that none of these
were killed in the town itself" The
Chronicle correspondent says: "The
sultan has SO much fear of exasperating
the Musselmen by consenting to the
reforms that the ministers were
obliged to implore him to sign the
document. 1t is feared that English
opinion will be greatly disappointed
when the terms of the reform scheme
become known. But nothing better
could be obtained without the appear
ance of the British fleet in the Oar
danelles, which would have involved
the instant disruption of the triple
entente between England, Russia and
France, and probably Russian
occupation of Armenia -
