ENGLISH ATHLETES.
New York Athletic Clubs Challenge
Accepted,

London, Jan. 9-After the meeting
of its committee last Wednesday, the
London A c. cabled to the New York
A. C. that the latter's challenge was
accepted, subject to the arrangements,
and that letter followed, as already
announced 10y the Associated Press. A
subcommittee was then appointed to
draft a letter, which was posted the
same night The letter stated that the
London a. c. regarded faVorably the
challenge Of the New York Is. G. and
that it would do all it could to BRING
about the proposed meeting. The let
ter also asked for details, the conclu-
sion of which would be taken up at
the next meeting of the committee Of
the London A. C. The latter's eoplmu-
nication to the New York A c, did not
contain any suggestions as to the list
of events, 1t merely being supposed
that the ordinary university list would
be adopted. But nothing would be done
officially until the reply Of the New
York A. c. is received.
The secretary of the London A. c.,
in an interview, said that e. s. Bried-
en-, hurdle champion, also of the Lon
don A. Co., in spite Of the assertions
made in certain New York papers, had
always been a member of the London
A. G. S. C. Frye. Of Oxford, the best
broad jumper in England, suffered re-
Gently from the failure Of one of his
knees, while playing football; he is not
expected to go to America. In regard
to j. N. Barry, the English weight and
hammer thrower, F. S. Shoran, presi-
dent of the Cambridge University Ath-
letic association, the famous S-Tnile
runner and W. f. Luityens, the crack
mile runner of Cambridge University
no replies have yet been received.

RITCRIE TALKS.
Says Judge Kicks Cannot Shift the
Charges AEainst Him.
tomorrow

Akron, o., Jan. 9.-Samuel ], Richie.
who on Monday. presented to Congress
6, memorial containing charges against
Judge Kicks, talked with an Associated
Press reporter this afternoon about
statements which had been brought out
He said:
cit is possible that Judge Kicks does
not understand precisely what the
charges against him are. In the firgt
place there is no charge against him
that he wrote the recent decision which
he read in Cleveland. That decision is
not referred to directly or indirectly in
the memorial. In the second place
there is no charge that he wrote the
decision confirming the MeMullen
Canadian judgment. There is no
charge against anybody for having
written it, but there is some charge Of
the use that has been made of it since
lit was confirmed and Of the behavior
of counsel during the trial of the case.
The charges against Judge Kicks
are such that he cannot shift from his
own shoulders or divide responsibility
with any other Judge on the bench.
/ With regard to Senator Payne's inter-
view, his statements about the amount
of money he loaned to me, or that he
and Burke and Cornell advanced to
me, which he says is $780, 600, are ut
terly and absolutely untrue Not one
half such amount was advanced by
all of them. | never asked Senator
Payne to invest dollar with or adj
vance a dollar for me in nay life. The
only money he ever did loan to me
was $4,000, which he endorsed for on
! the National Bank Of Commerce of
| Cleveland, the balance was for en-
dorsementS he made for the McMul-
lens and the debt he assumed at the
savings bank in Cleveland, He can
celIed my notes. which he took; he
cancelled my steek-my stock which
he took up-he registered all my bonds
in his own name; he took the coupons
which belonged to me to Canada and
converted them into a Judgment
against the railway in his own name
to the extent of 100000, the whole
amount thus converted to himself be-
ing in excess of s1,7oo,000, and now he
comes into court with my notes can
celled and my stocks, bonds and cou-
pons converted to his own name and
asks the court to give him a decree
against me. Burke's action has been
practically the same"

what he Is doing In Washington, anyhow. He
