stand on the Monroe Doctrine.
Washington, Jan. 9.-The House bond
bill, with the free coinage substitute for
it, reported from the committee on finance,
was to have engaged the attention of the
Senate to-day, but a half hours speech
by Mr. Baker, rep, of Kansas in favor
of an extreme application Of the Monroe
doctrine and an hour and three-quarter s
speech by Mr.. Stewart on the financial
question, prevented the taking up of the
bond bill until so late an hour that Mr.

withhold his opening speech upon it I'M
til tomorrow.
Mr.. Bakers speech, his first in the
Senate chamber, had for it's text and
groundwork, joint resolution introduce
ed by him declaring that the extension
by any European power of it's territorial
limits on the western hemisphere, wheth-
without consent of the United States,
will be regarded as an unfriendly act

position would be maintained by war; if
necessary. The joint resolution was re-
ferred to the committee on foreign rela-
tions.

appropriations for coast defenses Mr.
Daniel, DEM, of Virginia, expressed the
opinion that the public apprehensions as
to the danger of the bombardment of
American SeapOrts were overstrained; but
he also expressed the hope that the coun-
try would prepare itself for whatever
emergencies might happen. He favored
the passage of Mr.. Squire's fertilization
bill.
A brief executive session was held, and
then, at 4:10 o'clock, the Senate adjourn
ed until tomorrow.

crew..
The chances are that the great quad
triangular race will be rowed at Sara
toga. Chairman Thomas Reath, of the
Pennsylvania rowing committee, and
Guy Richards, of Columbia, inspected
the course at Saratoga lake recently
Mr.. Reath pronounced the Saratoga
course unexcelled 1T is four miles
straight away" said Mr.. Reath, land
there is no current whatever. 1t is
the only course I have seen where four
crews could row without the POSSIBLE
ity of an advantage to any one of them.
An accident, such as the swapping of
the Pennsylvania boat at Poughkeepsie
last year, from the swell of Gov Nor
tons tug, could not happen at Sara
toga, for the reason that there are no
large boats there to obstruct the
course. The best of arrangements for
patrolling the course on the Hudson
might be made, and still 1t would be
impossible to keep all the boats from
interfering with the race in some way
or other. Saratoga's only disadvan-
tage Is from a spectators standpoint
The railroad runs along the lake only
for a short distance, and it would be
impossible to have an observation
train, as at Poughkeepsie. There is
bluff about 100 feet high along the

GOSSIP OF THE FIGHTERS.
Donovan and Cooke the Big
Ones5 Meeting.

Joseph Donovan a. few days ago in
spected Corbett in his dressing room,
and he writes:
Standing barred to the skin 1t seems
to me Corbett presented as proper
a piece of physical architecture as any
man could hope to attain. If there
is anything the matter with him. if
he has started back. it is surely well
covered under the veritable mold of an
Apollo. In reply to questioning, Cor
bett said:
'T never felt more like a fighter in
NY life; l weigh 1876 pounds just the
way I am now, and 1 am in about half
training all the time. Some time back,
when 1 saw things were so shaping
that 1 would likely enter the ring
again, I broke off every particle of fast
living and put myself in the straight
and narrow path, in which I intend to
remain till l get a contest with Fitz-
simmons, If the thing is possible. Di-
rectly of Fitzsimmons, 1 don't like to
say too much, for the reason that some
people seize every opportunity of say
ing / want to talk instead of fight. My
money, however, is up with Mr.. Davis,
which is to demonstrate whether Fitz
wants to fight or not. You, however,
and every fair watcher Of ring events,
know who was in Hot Springs the day
set for the meeting between Fitz and
me, and who was far away and not
trying to get there.
II don't want to say anything de-
rogatory to Fitzsimmons' fighting; GER
tainly putting out Peter Maher in such
time was a wonderful piece of work
But this is just what has whetted my
fighting appetite; If there Is a man in
the world can stand me off / want to
find it out. On the whole, 1 am rather
glad that FitZ made the marvellous
showing that he did, for it is more like
ly to give him courage to meet me.
Since he has shown what fighter he
is L am so DESTROYS of meeting that
[ will throw up all my theatrical en-
gagements and get in a ring with him
within two months from this date 1t
makes little difference whether he has
sufficient cash to risk on a big side
bet; all want is for him to post suffi-
cient money to insGre his appearance
for the contest on schedule time"
One minute and thirty-five seconds,
said to be the ac%'iat fighl.ug time of
