DALLAS, TEXAS, October 9:-rhe Florida Athletic Club today moved it's headquarters to Hot Springs, Ark, where 1t will hold it's pugilistlc carnival of three days commencing October 31, the date originally sec lected and already given out All the parties to the contest have fully agreed and the matter is settled.
 Conditions having change so quick ly aRd positively, the date and place of the mill being named less than twenty-f0ur hours after the con- ference, though the club had forty eight hours from Tursday night to decide i'll, there were lots of things to be done, including the arrangements for getting to work on a building and the preparation for transporta- ti0Ii. However great many mat ters were arranged in the conference Tuesday night. The event up to date brought these out. The ques- tion came up at the conference whether or not Julian and Brady would agree to fight out side of Texas. There was no difficulty on this score. That being settled the question arose, would they consent to moving the date up to November 20. Both sides opposed this. Their men, they said, were already on fighting edge, so to speak. Julian insisted particularly on this. 1t seems, therefore, a concession was made i'll this regard by the club. Brady sprang telegram from Phillip J. Dwyer, of New York, the official stakeholder, that Fitzsim- mons stake money had been att taehed, the amount involved being $S,1 Brady and Julian had al warm discussion over this, ending ill Julian promising to make good the amount in ten days from Tues day, or on October IS. Julian blamed Attorney Nanny Friend, of New York, for the attachment pro- eeedings, asserting that he forced himself on Fitzsimmons and other wise, as Julian charged, used Fitz- simmons as a handle to keep him. self before the public in connection with the Australian's affairs. A claim was put in by Julian for the forfeit of $2,500 if the mill did not take place on 3lst of October. This was silenced by the proving of tine fact that the club had the right to pull the mill off any time after July 2, 1895.
 The big event of the conference
 was the question as to whether or not q referee should be selected at once. The club demanded it as their right that the referee be named
 without delay. Brady demanded the same. Julian stood pat on his old
 proposition that the referee should be named on the day of the fight. | 1 IcIG " StS fl HOJ OioCuooiOh DCbW WEGII

 a referee was named at once he
 would declare the fight off. Julian said it would have to go at that
 then. Julian held that the safest way to prevent a referee from being tempered with was to keep his
 name secret until the day of the fight. Brady said Corbett would never again. sign articles of agree ment unless the referee was named

 Matters looked squally for time. It looked as though the great mill
 would fall through. After several propositions were made looking to selecting a referee in such way that his name could be kept secret until the day of the fight. Julian finally consented to consider the proposi- tion that he and Brady should each select a name from six, the same to | he kept secret until the day of the fight and then if the names were not | the same the decision between the 1 two should be decided by a toss up.
