THE FIGHT DECLARED OFF.
Fitzsimmons Refuses to Accede to Any
Plan Except Fight to q Fininh.


HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Oct. 2I.-There
will be no contest between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons unless 1t be an imprompsu
one, shorn of purse offerings, ring ruies,
referee and seconds, for Corbett SAWS
that unless Fi,zsimmons acts the man
and accommodates himself to circum-
stances she will send him to hospitsl.n
the first time he meets him, and that he
will go quite way out of his scheduled
theatrical route TO meet the attenuated
ornishman.
What Governor Clarke has been max
ing such display at doing Fitz-
simmons has done easily and without
much flourish OF trumpe Tho Florida
Athletic Club, at 1890 o'clock TODAY,
declared the contest between James J.
Corbett and Robert Fitzslmmons off.
Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons' manager,
refused to agree TO the postpouement of
the date as desired by the club. He
said Fitzsimmons had trained to fight
October 81. and was unwilling to train
two weeks longer; moreover, Fiizsim-
mons had contrac led to fight Corbett to
finish and he was unwilling to change
the programme TO boxing match for
points.
The proposition was then made to
have the men fight in private for the
main STAKE, SlO,OOO eide. Here Stuart
interjected an offer of an added $4,000.
Brady was again willing. but Julian
demurred. He opined that the club, IL
1t pulled the fight off on the 31st OF o.
tober, would have to make good its
promise Of $4,000. In all equity, in the
face Of the entanglements which have
beset the path Of Dan Stuart and Joe
Vendig, this cannot be done. Who're,
month ago, hundreds of excursion par.
ties were being organized for trip to
The fight, there are none to-day.
Stuart asked for time. Corbett
granted 1t. Fitzsimmons had exacted
his full pound Of flash. AS matters
stand at this moment, to use the words
Of Howard B. Hackett, the highest
pugilistic authority in America, Corbett
wants to fight, Fitzsimmons does not.
1t is given out that Julian will have
Fitz5immons in Dallas on the 3lst,
where the contract stipulates the fight
shall occur, and claim the forfeit of
81 500.
This is the latest status of the case
and the most decisive knock out in the
whole proceedings. Any amount of
disgust and disappointment is visible on

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 2I.-The con-
seisusional convention had under COM
slderasion the report OF the com mittee
on county governments to-day. There
are two reports, one favoring the forma-
ton OF smaller counties and the other
favoring the boundaries as now CON
etltuted. The new county men got n
setback on the first round, the conyen-
tion refusing to table the minority re-
port. 1t Is likely that the discussion
Will last another d ay.
The committee on suffrage offered
some Important amend ments to their
report In tho constitutional convention
tonight. Foremost among them was
the abolition Of the provision for keen
ing l1ss OF the illiterate voters, a plan
which Senator Irby has bitterly opposed
ana In which he had the backing of
about 20, coo white voters in the State.
In carrying this point Senator Irby
mas again brought Senator Tillman to
MS terms. showing that he still has a
mysterious string tied to Senator TILL
man, which he is commonly said to pull
whenever Tillman goes against him too
iar. The bringing in of the amendment
10 held, in political circles, to show tb
lrby is on top in the State. The other
amendments do not materially change
the plan as originally proposed.

New York, Oct. 21.-The best author

proving demand for the metal for some
time to como. The willingness of Japan
to accept the indemnity from China in
silver contributed largely to the i'm
provement III It's price which has been
noted during the last few m onths and the
accumulation OF the metal in London
will go on, in or1er to complete the in
ssallments of the indemnity at the
various dates of payment.
Mr.. Townsend. of the Hong Kong
bank, confirms this view and reports in
an interview that the bank is about to
make large shipment of silver to
China. Both China and Japan are
showing increasing inquiry for silver,
as the large amounts of the metal dis
tributed by both countries in payment
for war material and supplies, has been
diverted to India and other silver
countries. Mr.. Townsend adds that tho
silver was ordered two months ago and
has only just bsen delivered. The sill
yer am alters are said to BIO sold ahead
for two months. Japan is minting most

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2I.-Ohicials of the
diplomatic corps, who are in position
to speak with full understanding ON
the Venezuelan question, upon careful
reading of the official statement of the
British foreign Office made public by
the Associated Press to- day, say it
is decisive rejection of the claims
made by Venezuela, and negative an
sWer to the requests OF the United
States that the subjec. be submitted to

The essential feature Of the foreign

that Great Britain twill not permit
Venezuela to overstep tho line made by
the Amacura and Cuyune rivers" but
will submit 10 arbitration the other terri

British sovereignty of this essential
territory at issue, covering and COM

Neither the British embassy nor the
