Governor Clarke Hears the
RumorS and Declares 1t

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct 2S.-Con-
stable Davis of Hot Springs was in the
city during the day and gave out in
formation which leads those who talked
to him to believe that Corbett and
Fitzsimmons will fight in privatenot
far from Hot Springs one day about the
latter part of this week. Such an air Of
mystery surrounds the whole proceed
ings that it is very hard to get any
thoroughly reliable information on the
subject, but that preparations are being
made in a quiet way for fight no one
doubts. Many Hot Springs people be-
ieve that the fight viii occur at Whit.
tington Park,
The Site Originally Selected,
and the battle will occur on the date
agreed upon. They argue that the de-
cision Of the supreme court affirming
the prize fight law leaves the matter ex-
actly where it stood before Corbett was
arrested, and that it was virtually
victory for the fighters. The fact that
the Hot Springs Athletic club has en-
gagged circus tent, seems to indicate
however, that some private spot has
been selected. A close friend of Gov
ernor Clark has been shown letters
from Hot Springs which tend to con-
frm the belief that fight will occur.
One of these letters is said to have come
from Attorney Martin and stated that
preparations were being made for O
private fight.

It is said that the discrepancies cover a
long period and involve a large sum.

KILLED by Train Thieves.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.-The Times Herald
publishes story in which local pri-
vate detective agency claims to have
secured evidence that Olive Carleton
was murdered in Detroit by an organ
lied gang of railway train thieves. The
theory advanced is that the dead
woman's rich dress and evident refine
ment attracted the attention of members
of the gang, and that when she went
for walk, while awaiting her train,
she was waylaid, killed and robbed.

The distance is 2l2 feet. AS he neared

struck with noise that sounded like a

face quickly and, moaning as if in great
pain, struck out for one of the boats,
the occupants of which picked him up
and took him ashore. Then he was

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.-H. H.
Holmes, or Herman Mudgett, whose
name or alias has rung throughout the
length and breadth of the continent as
the most unscrupulous and skillful mur-
derer Of modern times, will be placed
on trial for his life in the morning in
the court of oyer and terminer Of this
city. The specific charge to which he
will be called upon to answer is the
murder Of Benjamin f. Pietzel, and he
has already officially declared himself
not guilty. The revolving details of the
many crimes with which Holmes name
has been directly or indirectly con-
nected have been given such publicity,
and the cold, implacable demeanor
which has characterized the man
throughout, has been so frequently COM
mented upon that the trial

Jamison, dropped anchor in Quarantine
at 3:44 a. m, having made her maiden
voyage from Southampton to this port
in the remarkably fast time of days

Had it not been for the fact that the
port engine was stopped on Oct. 2S for
81 hours, owing to defective air pump,
the st. Paul would no doubt have
broken all records from Southampton.
This is all the more apparent from the
fact that one days run showed the
splendid average speed of nearly sl1a

WASHINGTON, May l5-An ugly crisis
has been reached in the negotiations be-
tween the United States and Great Brit

regulation of last year which prohibits

fifth parallel during the closed season.
The United States officials look upon this
as disastrous to the seal fisheries, holding
that the result will be to relieve the
pelagic sealers Of the only restriction
which has operated to prevent an I'M
limited slau -hter of the herds.
While killing by firearms remains lille.
gal it is realized that it will DO impossible
to enforce this prohibition if arms can be
freely carried, for the sealers would kill
secretly unless they should happen to be
under the very eye of q revenue cutter.
Meanwhile the United States revenue cut
tiers have gone out under the old instruc-
tons to seize all vessels carrying arms not
under seal. These must be modified

seizures fled by the British government
The attitude OF the latter is viewed with
much dissatisfaction at the state depart
ment, where it is regarded as an evidence
of unwarrantable concession to the Cana
