THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Rumored Occupation of Port Arthur
by the Russians.

New YORK, Oct. A special to
the Herald from London says:
With the reported cesslon OF Port
Arthur to Russia, which, however,
has since been semi-officially denied
from st. Petersburg, the eastern
question has suddenly come to the
front again. Minister Kato, the
Japanese representative at the
court Of st. James, in an interview
said: "There need be no mystery
as to our delay in evacuating the
Lao Tung peninsula. The Japa-
nese are simply waiting for the
first payments stipulated by the
treaty of Shimoneski. When these
payments are made the Japanese
troops will be withdrawn. j do not
think that Russia will press for
evacuation, only, rather / should
say she will urge China to pay the
necessary portion Of the indemnity,
Japan was forced to yield Port
Arthur on the plea that her per-
severing in the occupation Of it
would harm eastern trade. There
fore | cannot see how Russia could
take possession OF the place and
avoid the application OF the same
argument to her own pretensions."
"If this cession to Russia were
confirmed" was asked, "what
would be the japanese outlook in
Corea?"
"Very threatening" was his ex-
cellency's reply, with Russian
troops at Vladivostock on the one
hand and Port Arthur on the
other, but IL this would be threat
ening to Japan, it would, in my
opinion, be even more so to China"

NOT AwED BY MANpARINs.
United States Consul Hyson, Of Foo
Chow, Asserts His Rights.

LONDON, Oct. A letter to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Kucheng,
published this afternoon, dilates
upon the fact that it is a strange
thing that the only fighting men
sent to Kucheng with the commits
sion appointed to inquire into the
massacres of missionaries was
Lieutenant Waldo Evans, of the
United States cruiser Detroit, in
spite of the fact that two British
gunboats are lying at Foo Chow.
The correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette adds that when the party
arrived at Kucheng the Mandarin
in command there refused all OF
the members of the commission to
attend the trial of the accused
Vegetarians, whereupOn j. Court
ney Hyson, United States consul
at Foo Chow, who is the most
energetic member of the commits
sion, peremptorily demanded in
most vigorous language the right
of being present at the trial. He
said he did not care how great a
parsonage the Mandarin was, he
would stir up all the powers UNI
less he was admitted, and gave the
Mandarin four hours in which to
make up his mind.

teenth infantry at Fort Sheridan,
narrowly escaped death, or at least
a severe wound, at the hands of
Lieut.. S. s. Pague, Of Company F,
Fifteenth infantry, yesterday after

shots at him. One passed through
a loose fold of his overcoat just
over the right groin, the second
and third passed close to the body.
Lieut.. Pague few moments be-
fore had escaped from the hospital
where he had been undergoing
treatment for mental trouble occa-
stoned, 1t is said, by overindulgence
In liquor. At the fort tonight 1t
was said that the lieutenant was
not responsible for his act, and his
meeting with Col. Crofton was by
chance.

Enforcing.the Cheek Claim.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-The
United States has called upon the
Siamese government to settle what
is known as the Cheek claim. In
structions have been sent to Mr..
John Barrett, minister resident at
Bangkok, to request an immediate
settlement of this claim. This
claim was made to the state de-
partment some years ago by DR.. A.
NJ. Cheek, who recently died in
Siam. 1t was caused by the action
of the Siamese government in con-
fiscating property belonging to
him. From his statement made to
the department and other papers
forwarded by Minister Barrett it
appears that Cheek entered into a
contract with the Siamese govern
ment to cut the teak wood which
abounds in that country and to
ship it to market. The Siamese
government advanced him 100000
tekals to assist him to buy ele-
plants and implements, etc. Gen.
eral Cheek in addition put a large
sum of money into the enterprise
and commenced to carry out his
contract. The Siamese govern
ment became dissatisfied with his
operations and without any lin
timation whatever seized all the
property, claiming that he had
broken one of the provisions of the
contract.

NO cHocTAw GROUNDS.
Governor Gardner Opposed to Prize
Fighting.

AToKA, I. T., Oct. 1.-The Choc-
taws here are sanguine that the
council, which meets at Tuska-
homa on next Monday, will pass a
bill similar to the one passed by
the Texas Legislature yesterday.
Gov. Gardner is full blooded
Choctaw Indian, and his opposi-
ton to the fight will rival even
that of Governor Culberson.
The statutes of Arkansas, Of
1884, are in force in this country,
and they are silent so far as
they pertain to prize fighting, and
there is nothing in the federal
statute books which would war
rant the marshal to take hand to
prevent the fight coming off.
The attorney general signified
his Willingness to call out the mi
litia to the assistance OF the Choc-
taw tribe if requested to do 80. 1t
is not believed that the principal
chief has the authority to call
upon the United States govern
ment to prevent the fight, in the
absence of a law prohibiting it on
the statute books Of the Choctaw
nation. Unless the bill is passed,
there is nothing here to prevent
the mill being pulled of. If it
were possible for the Athletic club
to get permission Of the council,
then the federal authorities would
not interfere, even IL requested to
do so by Governor Gardner.
A representative Of Dan Stuart
was here yesterday, and the gen.
eral impression is that an attempt
will be made to secure place two
miles below here, on Doggy Creek,
for the scene of the contest. 1t is
about three hours ride from Dallas
to this place, on the M. K. and T.
Sufficient lumber can be had to
build an enclosure.

Deplores The Professions" Lose =
Willing to Fight In a Forest

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 4.-Corbett
and party reached this city this
morning from Montgomery, Ala,
where they gave show last night.
81 see Fitzsimmons has been doing
some more talking in his trip
through the SOUTH" said the
champion. "Do you know what /
think Fitzsimmons is? He is a
fskir of the worst kind. He is try
ing his mightiest to get out of this
fight but 1 will fight him If 1
have to chase him in a corner
so there could be no escape. wish
the fight was tonight. / am anx-
ious to get at him, for he has been
making some statements that are
absolutely false. 1 am ready to
fight within an hour" said Cor.
bett. II wish the battle could take
place today in the Olympic club.
Nothing would please me better.
In my fight with Sullivan there
was none of the worry that 1 have
encountered in this match and
which also arose with my fight
with Mitchell. When the profes.
sion lost New Orleans they lost the
best city in the country for cham
pionship contest.
"Now, don't you think a man in
FitZsimmons' place should be a
little more circumspect in his talk?
Every dollar, with the exception Of
$1,000 Of Fitzsimmons' stake, has
been seized. Now, supposing / do
win the fight, may get the short
end of it after all. Fitzsimmons
had better be making arrange
ments to carry out his end Of the
contract instead of roasting me.
Now, IL Fitzsimmons would only
put up his stake without any
strings attached it and agree upon
a referee there would be no COVER
nor who could stop the fight. We
could go into some deep forest
where men are seldom seen and
settle our difference. l would be
willing to fight him for the stake
alone"
"Where would you prefer to
fight, in Mexico or the Indian Ter
ritory?" Corbett was asked.
"If 1 have any choice in the mat
ter would much prefer to fight in
the Indian Territory. 1 would
then be in my own country and
not run any chances Of getting the
worst Of it,"
"Do you think the fight will take
plsco?'
"WeIl. you can bet all your
money it nIll," replied Bill Brady
"Anything that Dan Stuart has
anything to do with, is bound to
be a success. Stuart has given his
word to tho sporting world that
the fight will take place, and he
will carry out every promise he has
made"
Corbett will give a performance
tonight and leave for Texas tomor.
