Fitxsimmons's Reply.

PITTSBURG. April 22.--In reply to Cor
bett bob" Fitzsimmons announced here
tonight that he would fight the champion
anywhere in the world, but does not believe
the match can come off in Jacksonville,
Fla, saying the fact that the Florida
Athletic Club was willing to forfeit 81 900
apiece to himself and Corbett was sufficient
indication of that fact. He said the club
had failed to put up the 5000 forfeit, and
he believed he and Corbett could compel
them to pay it.
Fitzsimmons said he believed the battle
would come off in New Orleans, as that
was the only place they could fight without
interference. He says he wants to fight to
the finish. and will meet Corbett in private
for $4,000 side.
He also suggests that fight could be
pulled off in the bull ring In the City of
May.o0

Action of St. Louis Dealers.

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-The St. Louis Live
Stock Exchange took official action on the
alleged beef combine to-day, and wired
it's resolutions to Secretary of Agriculture
Morton. The preamble refers to the ru-
mored combine among the packers, based
the proposed actually taken investi-
cation by the Department of Agriculture;
that such agitation is extremely harmful
to the live stock trade, resulting in re-
duction in the price of live cattle of at
least 81 per 100 pounds in the past two
weeks 1t is resolved.
THAT this exchange invites a speedy
and thorough investigation Of the alleged
beef combine, with view of settling the
question in the most efficacious manner,
thus permitting the live stock business to
resume it's normal condition; that to the
best of our information and belief, based
upon fair opportunity for obtaining ac-
curate information, there is a shortage in
the visible supply of cattle which is suf-
ficiently responsible for the advance in the
price of CATTLE and that to our certain
knowledge the benefits so far accrued from
this condition have gone to the cattle rails
parties interested" Another resolution
was adopted asking the National Live
Stock Exchange to call a meeting of it's
executive committee at the earliest pos
sible day to take action looking to speedy
investigation of the alleged beef combine,
SO that the truth be known and published.

Agitation Cannot Destroy the Truth

United States Department of Agriculture
had it's attention called to the discrepancy
between the prices of fat cattle on the hoof
and prime beef in retail markets before an
investigation mad been authorized by any
person connected with the department"
He declared that he did not credit the
statement that agitation had put down the
price of live cattle and maintained the re-
tail price of beef, if, as is alleged by the
Kansas City stock yards people, prices de-
pend now and have depended all along,
upon the relation of the supply of beef to
the demand for beef. Agitation, investi-
CATION" he said, '.can neither cripple
nor destroy the truth and the right and it
is due to the producers and the consumers
alike that the Intermediary profits of mid
dlemen standing between them should be
only reasonable and compensatory. The adj
vance in price by retail dealers in dressed
beef of cents pound to the consumers
when there is an advance of only dollar

as e0uitably prOpOrtiOned."

Experimental Sugar Machinery.
WASHINGTON, April 22.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has prepared a report
in answer to a Senate resolution inquiring
as to the whereabouts and conditions of the
experimental sugar machinery which was
plIrcha sed by the department at various
times. The report shows that the govern
ment has expended about $2S0,0O0 in the pur-
chase of this sugar machinery, and so far,
it says, very little good has ever been de-
rived from it, The machinery was loaned
out to persons to make experiments, and it
is now in the hands of private parties. The
most of it is in Kansas, though small
portion is in Florida and Louisiana. The
department will also take up the question of
what to do with it, and it is thought that it
will be appraised and sold

COMMISSION IGETs FUNDS,
So Says Attorney General ChiIds
in an Official Opinion.

Attorney General Childs has filed with
Executive Agent Fullerton, of the
state game and fish commission, an
opinion in which he holds that ali
moneys collected in fines or from the
sale of seized game, shall be placed
in the state treasury, to the credit of
the commission. This opinion was
asked for by Mr.. Fullerton ON account
of some dispute that arose about
some moneys collected at Forest lake,
by Judge Noyes, which the latter
held ought to go to the school fund.
The attorney generals opinion fol-
lows;
Hon. S. F. Fullerton, Executive
Agent, Game and Fish Commission
l Dear Sir: In your communication of
the 26th ult., you inquire, in effect, as
to what is a, proper disposition OF lines
collected from persons convicted of
violations of the fish and game laws,
when such prosecutions are not insti-
tuted by game wardens.
Section AZ of the game and fish laws
, is as follows: "A1. fines collected or
moneys recovered on any bond given
to or contract made with the board Of
game and fish commissioners, or. re-
ceived by them from the sale of game,
birds, animals or fish. except for the
board of game and fish commissioners
of another state, territory or country,
Gnder any of the provisions of this
act, shall be paid into the state treas
.Hry and be placed to the credit Of
such board to be expended by them in
the discharge of their duties and the
enforcement of the provisions of this
ACT
81 1t is at once seen that the statute
cpntemplates no distinction based upon
the manner of such prosecutions. In
all cases, whether Instituted by game
Wardens or private parties, fines col
lected are to be- paid into the state
treasury, subject to subsequent dis
bursement as in said section provided.
In addition to such fines, the statute
Hhakes provision for the disposition of
.smoneys recovered on bonds given to
or contracts made with the board of
game, and fish commissioners, and
moneys received by them for the sale
6fS birds, animals and fish,, Moneys
sBrising from such sources are clearly
distinguishable from those arising
from, penalties imposed upon persons
Convicted of violations Of the law.
am, very respectfully,
Attorney General.
