Little Rock Ark, De-. 29.-COnstabis
Allen p. Davis Of He. Springs was in
the city today and gave out information
which leads those who talked to him to
believe that Corbett and FitzsimmOns

sporting circles is that the fight will
certainly occur at some point In OF near
Garland county. A close friend of Gov
ernor Clarke has been shown letters
from Hot Springs which tend to con-
firm the belief that the fight will occur.

ON Their Probable Fate.
San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 29.--The
Merchants Exchange announces that
no information has been received from
the overdue vessels bound from this
city to foreign ports. While there rs
still hope Of hearing from the Lord
Spencer. which left here two hundred
days ago for Queenstown, il is not be-
lieved that the Star of Austria, bound
to Queenstown, and the Earl Of Hope
toun, for Adelaide, viii ever be heard
from again. Although the Lord Bras
sy has been out eighty days from Hong
Kong TO Port Blakcly her absence is
accounted for by the fact that she Is a
light ship with foul bottom. More
interest is centered in the Lord Spen-
Ger than In any vessel that ever sailed
from this port. When IL was announced
that the British underwriters were Of
fering 30 per cent for reinsurance, there
was rush to get some OF the risk.
Should the Lord Spencer fail TO arrive
at her destination, the shipping and
insurance men of this city will be bad
ly beaten. If. however, she turns up
within the next few days thousands of
dollars will be raked in by the specula-
tors.
