At a place called Bowie we saw
some United States soldiers and
scouts. These latter were Apache In
dians. The party was out after some
murderers who had killed German
family. As the Mexican boundary is
quite close by, it is doubtful if the
soldiers will catch the Indian murder
ers. The Apache soldiers we're hardy
looking set of fellows, and they, like
ourselves, and everything else in this
desert country, were covered with
dust.
I am very tired, having been riding
since last Thursday until 2 p. m. to-
day, so will say no more just now, but
will send on few words more for an
other issue of your paper.

T am sorry for Maher, but FitZ- simmons deserves credit for his vic tory, I thought it would be quick fight for one of them, but that is aw- fully quick. FitZsimmons did good thing. There was no accident. I do not believe in making excuses for the loser. Fitzsimmons has licked Maher twice and believe in giving him credit for being the better fighter. I am dead anxious to fight the winner. I will fight him for nothing and go to Eng land, Australia or South Africa-any- where to get a fight with him. l do not want his stulf--only money enough to make it an object for him to fight rather than crawl out. l want him to jump on the first train and come here. If he wants to fight me he will come quick and we can fix up a match in two minutes. But I want the referee decid- ed on this time when the match is made. I will have no long distance talking and will have nothing to say to Julian, I want to do business with Fitz- simmons alone. I defy any man to say I am blutfing."
 Corbett said he was in first class con- dition, that he weighed 19S pounds and that he had never taken better care of himself than he had in the last six months. Corbett made a speech before the curtain at the end of the third act. He recited the late Fitzsimmons-Cor- bett fiasco to prove that the champion had never wanted to get in the ring with him, formally issued his challenge and handed Will J. Davis, manager of the theater, s1,OOO in bills as guaran- tee, saying he would fight Fitzsimmons or any man in the world at any place. He said:

TALE AND THE HENLEY REGATTA
Requested to Send a Four-oared Crew as

We'll as an Eight.
 President De Sibour of the Yale navy yesterday morning received from the Henley regatta secretary, J. r. Cooper, a communication relative to Yale's en- tering the Henley. After enumerating the various conditions of the regatta, Secretary Cooper states that the Yale entry must be mailed before March 19, and that Yale will do well to enter a four as well as an eight-oared crew in the contest for the Stewards cup. The Yale navy is considering whether to tary Cooper also mentions single scull race but President De Sibour states that Yale will in all probability not send entries for that event.
 A prominent member of the Yale fac- ulty said yesterday that that body was considering the petition of the Yale na- wy to send a crew to the Henley, but no decision would be given for several days. It is thought that there is some slight faculty opposition to the scheme. HICKOK TO TRAIN TRACK TEAM.

THE QUARANTINE RAISED
HEALTH OFFICER WRIGHT MADE
 AN INVESTIGATION.

Miss Burr is Suffering From Hrythema and
 Not the Dreaded Smallpox-Necessity of
 Contagious Disease Hospital Within
 the City Limits Demonstrated.
 The quarantine laid upon the New Haven Hospital has been raised and life at that institution has resumed it's normal condition. The hastily prepar- ed emergency hospital quarters at the United Workers headquarters have been abandoned and the patient who was taken there on Thursday evening was conveyed to the general hospital about 6 o'clock last evening.
 The equipments and furniture were removed later. The quarantine lasted just twenty-three hours and was only removed when Health Officer Wright had become convinced after thorough examination of the patient at the pest house, Miss Annie Burr, and satisfied himself that the patient was not suffer ing from smallpox. This investigation was made in the presence of Dr. Fleisch- ner, president of the board of health, and Dr. l.. S. DeForest
 The precautionary measures taken by Health Officer Wright in quarantining the hospital and removing the patient has met with general approval, as the number of people exposed to the danger was great.
 Dr. L. s. DeForest talked freely of the case last evening and heartily approv- ed of everything that had been done.
 He said that the appearance of tho patient when he was fierst called to see was such as to warrant the opinion that she was suffering from smallpox. The eruptions were on her wrists, her forehead and in her mouth and throat symptom peculiar to the smallpox. The color was also such as to warrant the presumption The second stage, however, which made it's appearance yesterday, was such as to do away with the idea of smallpox. The formation of the eruptions were wholly unlike those of the second stage of smallpox. The only thing to be done in the cast was exactly what was done -quarantina as soon as possible.
 Dr. DeForest during the conversation llG Ildu WlLI lIlC IGpOTLGE TGLGIISQ ll~ cidentally to the dangers the general hospital runs every day of becoming infected and to the absolute necessity of hospital for contagious diseases either in connection with the general one or in some part of the city. It was too much risk to take a contagious dis- ease patient four miles
 Dr, DeForest said that there was no term to be applied to Miss Burr's ail- ment; that erythema. which it might probably be called, meant nothing. He was quite sure that there was no dan ger, and though Miss Burr would prob- ably stay at Springside for Jay or two, there was nothing to fear if she should come away this morning.

TAX COMMISSION MEET
THE ABATEMENT or DELINQUENT
 TAXES CONsIDERED.

Some of the Petitioners Told Pitiful Stories
 of How They Were Struggling to Keep a
 Home for Their Children-Some Old Sol-
 diers Asking ReIief--One Manufacturer
 Wants to Live Here.
 The commission appointed at the ses- sion of the last general assembly, rep resenting the town city and school dis
 trict of New Haven, met last evening
 In the probate court room for the trans action of business. The committee con-
 sists of Aldermen Isaac Bromley and
 Forsyth on behalf of the city, Select
 men Cunningham and Ludington for
 the town and Commissioners Moran
 and Asher the school district.
 The session lasted for more than two
 hours in which time several persons
 were questioned as to complaints. Tn
 many instances the petitioners were old
 and unable to earn a livelihood, de-
 pendent upon the small income afforded
 by the property owned, which in near
 ly ever case was heavily mortgaged.
 Notably among those was the case of
 Mrs. F. M. Dayton, an aged woman
 who owns two houses on DiXwell ave-
 nue, for which she owes taxes and in- terest amounting to $6,000. One of the houses she rents for $9 per month and the other in which she lives on the third floor, she rents for very little more than
 tn bo i,otn Mrs. Mary J. Burns was represented before the commission by Attorney Timothy J. Fox, who asked that his client be relieved of paying the full amount of q sewer tax and interest. Mrs. Burns was willing to pay 50 per cent of the amount due
 Professor Benjamin Jepson was be- fore the commission asking relief from paying a sewer assessment, which dated back twenty-two years.
 The claim is the result of an assess
 ment laid on the property on State street for sewer connections when the Telford pavements were laid.
 George Burton appeared before the commission for MT. c. W. H!ncllly of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and asked that the
 taxes for four years on the machinery of the defunct Standard Electric com- pany be abated. MT. Hinckly is will- ing to pay the face value of the taxes ion the basis of a value of $6,000, which is what the property is now rated at. the bord of assessors having reduced the valuationeat the last assessment. c. F. Bates represented the National Varnish company and wished to know if there was any relief for his com
 pany. He did not want to be taxed out of the city. He could go to Bridgeport,
 but he had rather live here and pay taxes, than to live there without. Mrs. Mary Higgins was represented by her husband, an old soldier He had neglected to present his proof to the board of assessors. He was ordered to hand the necessary documents to the celrs, so that the commission could proceed. Mrs. Jones, the widow of the late Thomas D. Jones Of Fair Haven,
 wished to be relieved from the payment of $34 with interest thereon for three years.
 The cases were considered in execu- tive session and will be reported to the court of common council.
