CHANCE TO FIGHT
Purse Promptly Hung Up in
England For COrbett
and FitZ.
The Bolingbroke Club Offers Six
Thousand Dollars For
the Mill.
Corbett Says He Will Be Ready
to Sign Articles Any
Time.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-If Robert Fitz-
simmons, the new champion pugilist
of the world, and James J. Corbett, the
former fistic champion, can be prevailed
upon to stop talking at each other and
come to solid business, a fighting place
and suitable purse can be promptly
arranged for them here before good
club. When Fitzsimmons defeated
Maher, OH Mexican soil, near Langtry,
Tex, on Friday last, representative
of the Associated Press was instructed
to ask Manager Fleming of the Ma
tional Sporting club here, if that body
could be induced to put up purse for
FltzsimmOns and Corbett.
wouId't Give Corbett a Cent.
The reply was that under no circum.
stances would the National Sporting
club subscr. be a cent for a contest in
which Curbett was one of the princi-
pals, but, it was added, any other
American pugillst might apply with
fair prospects of arranging d match.
The objection to Corbett is based on
the very bitter tongue lashing he gave
the National Sporting club when he re.
turned to the United States after his
appearance here The members of
that club claimed that they had treated
CQrbett with every consideration, and
that he repaid their kindness by abus-
ing them to the utmost.
Rolingbroke Would Give $4,000.
The Associated Press representative
was then notified to call upon Secretary
Stevens of the Bolingbroke club, and
eventually placed the matter before
the gentleman. After some necessary
deliberation and consultation with his
organization, Mr.. Stevens said that the
Bolingbroke club would give purse of
$4,000 for Fitzsimmons and Corbett to
compete for, and that the club would
also allow the contestants$50o esch for
/ expenses. These are, it is understood,
! absolutely the best terms obtainable
here, and it is hoped the offer will be
promptly accepted or refused. The
fairest treatment possible will be meted
out to both men, and it will be case of
''may the best man win"
Should Fitzsimmons refuse this offer
or fail to accept it with the promptness
desired by his we'll wishers, Frank
Slavin stands ready to meet Corbett be-
fore the Bolingbroke club.
Corbett Says He Will Accept.

1t sounded rather strange to the News
man, when Custer county man told
him, that his county would give q ma
jority for Bryan. There is, however,
nothing strange about it. Custer re-
publicans stand to-day where the
CHRONICLE stood before the st. Louis
convention and simply now refuse to
follow the CHRONICLES wsyward lead
from silver to q single gold standard.
They will support Bryan, because he
stands for the restoration Of silver, the
principle the republican party advocat-
ed till the st. Louis convention changed
it. No wonder then that it falls in with
the BRYAN column.-Hill City News.
Yes, 1t 10 indeed strange that Custer
county man should make q declaration
so utterly at variance with the facts ;
but even that is not more strange than
the declaration of the News, that the
CHRONICLE was former advocate Of the
free coinage Of silver at q ratio Of l6 to
], which is as manifestly false az the
first declaration can be. The News
seems not to be aware of the fact that
the republican party stands pledged to
promote the free coinage of silver by
the only metdod through which il could
be secured without serious detriment to
the masses, and viewing It from the
standpoint Of reason II would indeed be
strange IL the sensible voters Of Custer
county should fall in with the Bryan
column, which We can assure Brer. Won.
they have not the remotest intention OF
doing.

Name Speaks.

The Pine Tree state has spoken, and
with no uncertain or unmeaning sound.
The voice Of her people, expressed
through the medium of the ballot, de-
clares for the principles of the republi-
can party by plurality of $4,000, the
largest majority ever polled in the his
tory of the state, and a republican gain
over 1894 Of more than 10000.
The victory was full and complete,
the democrats failing to carry single
county in the state. The state legisla-
ture will be practically solid in its re-
publican make up, and the senate entire
ly so. The result may be regarded as
one ofthe most substantial and important
state political victories achieved by the
party in it's history. and is especially
gratifying in its significance of the par.
ty's success in the national contest now
pending, the triumphant result of which
it so surely and unmistakably foreshow-
dows.

The ticket nominated by the republi-
cans OF Custer county on Saturday is
one Of exceptional merit and strength.
In no instance in the history Of Custer
county has there been a ticket present
ed by any party for public support
which embraced list of candidates that
were better qualified to discharge the
official duties of the various official
positions for which they were chosen.
1t may be truthfully said of this ticket,
that 1t "a without n single Objectionable
feature. the name of no incompetent or
unworthy candidate appearing upon il,
a feature which all will admit, rarely
occurs in the formation of combina-
tion of this character. If there is any
force in the fitness of candidates for the
offices to which they aspire, or any
material appreciation of their merits on
the part of the electorate, then may it
be set down as being fully assured that
this ticket will be gloriously triumphant
at the polls on the 3rd day Of November
next. The candidates chosen are rep
resentative men Of the county, who, by
reason of their long residence within its
boundaries, are we'll known to our local
readers, and therefore require no intro
duction from US. From the name of w.
q. Porter, candidate for the state senate.
who is gentleman well qualified in
every respect to represent his district in
that honorable body to the fullest salts
faction of his constituents, down to the
last name appearing upon the ticket. it
may by safely said that there is not
a single candidate who is not. in all
respects, worthy of, and unquestionably
entitled to the fullest measure of public
support. With ticket of such rare ex-
cellence presented, and a we'll known
majority of republicans in the county,
success at the polls would seem to be
fairly assured, but the effort to reap
success should not be less vigorous and
persistent on that account. and from the
opening to the closing of the campaign,
no stone should be left unturned which
might in the least contribute to the end
desired. Ardor, and not apathy, should
be the republican motto from now until
the closing of the polls on Noyember

The district senatorial, and county
conventions held by the republicans in
this city on Saturday, were both marked
by spirit of harmony which could not
be otherwise than pleasing to the re-
publican heart, inasmuch as il may be
accepted as a pleasing augury for the
success of the party in this county in
the pending campaign. In the sem
atorial convention but one name, that
of w. G. Porter, of this city, was pre-.
sehted as q candidate, who was nomi-
mated by reclamation, after which.
being called upon, he addressed the
convention at some length in the able
and pleasing manner for which that
gentleman is noted. touching upon the
leading political issues that are now
prominently before the people, and
thanking the convention in a very elo-
quent and hearty manner for the honor
conferred by his nomination. In
the county convention, strife was
not apparent. The candidates were
largely elected by acclamation, the
delegates being unit in favor Of the
candidate first named in repeated in
stances, which was a mute but potent
compliment to the candidates thus elect
cd. OF the candidates nominated, Gus
ter may be said to haye furnished
number exceeding that to which she
might justly claim to be entitled, but
this was q result for which the blame
may be attributed solely to outside pre-
cincts, from which candidates were
presented for only two Offices, both of
which were secured. There was no
complaint, however, upon this score, it
appearing to be the fixed desire of the
convention to nominate candidates with
view to their fitness for the position
without reference to their location.
There was not a perceptible jar in the
general harmony which pervaded both
conventions from beginning to end. the
best Of feeling is everywhere manifest,
and the success of the ticket is assured
beyond the peradventure of doubt.

State Trades Assembly Asks the Legisla.
ture to Appoint q Commission on the Con-
vict Labor Question.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 1.-THE third
days session of the Trades and Labor
assembly was marked by crpecial at
tention to the question of convict labor.
The assembly has broadened distinctly
in its treatment of this question. The
delegates at this session have asked
the legislature to appoint a commits
sion to inquire into the question from
beginning to end, with power to take
testimony anywhere in the state and
from any source it would deem profit
able to the inquiry. They agree that
science should be called upon to con-
tribute its quota for the enlightenment
of the commission, and that the ques-
tions of the cause of crime, the CLASH
fcations of criminals, the reformatory
purpose in penal institutions, and such
employment of convicts as will be best
for them, for the workingmen and the
state are all to be considered. II is
hoped the commission will be appointed
as asked, and the most important men

helping the commission in their ardu-
GUS task. The delegates admit the
seriousness of the problem, and see
that the taxpayers at large view it
from a different standpoint from the
one emphasized heretofore by the
trades and labor assembly While not
receding from their position in refer
ence to competing prison labor, they
now want the whole question given it's
due consideration from every stand

Crowning Nsmsat of . sAivs career.

A sucosssful launch Of q large vessel
has been called the browning moment
Of q shipbuiider's career. Some one has
said also that q launch is the most deli
cate part Of q shipbuilder's work. Il 10
very difficult to say what is the most
delicate part Of shipbuilding, for the
simple reason that there doesn't seem
to be any part Of IL that isn't delicate.
No more complex machinery is made
than the Wonderful marine engine. No
more carefully designed structure exists
than the hull Of q modern steamship. A
launch is az much matter Of mathe-
matics al any part Of the work Of build
ing ship, and perhaps It is because
launches are always inspiring that they
have been called the browning occasions
Of shipbuilding.
It is only since the United States be-
gan to build a new navy that we have
had launches Of large vessels in this
country. We have built 90 many fine
warships that it was not unusually diff.
cult for as to build merchant vessels Of
the first grade, and we have just fin-
ished two ships next IN size to the two
largest ships that are afioat in the
world. Building these ships was great
achievement, however, and hence the
ceremony of putting them into the wa
ter from dry land attracted great atten-
tion throughout the country and was at
tended in each case by thousands of
spectators They saw the picturesque
side Of each Of these events. They saw
the foam as the christening bottle Of
wine was broken upon the bow. They
heard the cheers and shouts and helped
to make them. They waved their hats
and handkerchiefs as the ship began to
glide down into the water, and each
man almost held his breath until he saw
her safe in the stream and acknowl ledg-
ing the plaudits of the multitude by
making graceful bow.-"Launching
