Atlanta, Ca. Feb. 26-Lanky Bob Fitz-
simmons, his wife and baby, and Martin
Julian and his wife, passed through At
lanta this morning at 1l:40 o'clock. F1tz-
simmons had his pet lion with him, and
was in high humor over. his victory at
Langley last week. When the train reach
the union depot a crowd of 500 men and
boys awaited him and peered anxiously
at the sleeper in which he sat. eager for
a glance at the worlds new champion.
Fftzsimmons is inclined to doubt the
sincerity of Corbetts proposals to meet
him in the ring. Nothing. he said. would
suit him better than to have chance at
the ex-champion when he gets good and
ready.
Can lick Corbett," said he scornfully,
in a short interview with the Morning
News correspondent why, / wouldn't
want a better cinch. That will be the
softest thing I ever went against, and
I've been against some soft things in my
time. Why, that dirty cur. he's the cas-
lest mark ever saw in my life. How did
he get to be called champion, for licking
Sullivan and Mitchell. / could lick the
trio in one ring"
When asked when he would fight Cor
bett he replied; when / get good and
ready I'm champion now and I'm going
to run things 10 suit myself, He made
me whip two or three men there was
nothing in and now I'm going to make
HnhftnR on
against Jim Hall and Joe Goddard and
| Peter Maher Joe Choyinski, and Peter
jackson. l want them to fight between
them themselves and then I'll lick the
best of the crowd Corbett Is no longer
champion and will never be as long as I'm
in the ring. He retired because he was
afraid of me, he's a coward. Before / get
through with him I'll run him out Of the
show business and the fighting business,
too. I'll meet him when he convinces the
American people that he's fit, when he's
made some reputation for himself and
shown that he's able to fight with a man
like me. i have had trouble enough with
punching weak and sick men. don't
want to go to jail any more for killing
people. COrbett will have to prove that
he Is sound i'm mind and body before I'll
have anything TO do with him. No, his
talk about fighting me was all rot. He
fiuked on il and he knows he fluked, that IS
what made him retire from the ring"
OF the fight with Maher last week
Lanky Bob, who was in a very loquacious
mood, said: Il had no trouble with
Maher. He fouled me twice in the very
beginning I agreed with him to fight
fair and to break away on the clinch
without striking He said he would. Well
the very first clinch he punched me in the
jaw, and on the next clinch he hit me In
the stomach. Well, / thought to myself,
this is about time to stop this thing, so
uppercut him on the chin and that ended
the scrap. Oh, no, Maher is nothing; that
was dead easy"
After a half hours stop over here F'ftz-
simmons and his panty went on to New
orb Mt via fH4a"N Co aII
where he has an engagement at the Mad

Dollar to BE Inaugurated.

Dollar to BE Inaugurated.
New York, Feb. ga special commit
tee of the chamber of commerce on sound
financial legislation met this afternoon in
pursuance of instructions TO outline a
financial policy to be followed by the
chamber of commerce during the coming
political campaign. The following reso-
luton presented by Gus H. Schwab was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that il is the sense of this
committee that the agitation in favor OF
the maintenance of the present standard
of value and against the free coinage OF
silver should be prosecuted with VigOr.
The following presented by Mr. Richard
Young was also adopted:
Resolved, that IL be referred to the
executive committee, with the recommen-
dation that they prepare and submit to
the chamber of commerce, an address in
viting the cooperation OF all commercial
bodies and of all business men in the
movement to secure the adoption by the
national convention of both great politi-
cal parties of unequiVocal declarations in
favor of the maintenance of the present
standard of value.
1t was generally believed that Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle would appear be-
fore the committee and speak on Ameri-
can finances but Mr.. Carlisle did not
make his appearance.
The meeting of the committee was eX-
ecutive, but Chairman Hentz at its con-
clusion remarked to a reporter: 81 was
assured personally by Mr. Carlisle that
he hoped there would be no straddling of
the financial problem by the great politi-
cal parties, but that each party, In its
convention, would boldly take the bull by
that favoring the gold standard, for the
nation to pursue"

oAROLNNs SEATS IN CONGRESS.
Two of the Contests Decided in Fn-
vOr of the sitting Members.

FOF OF the cHttinK members.
Washington, Feb. 6.SRepresentatives
McLaurin and Lattimer were made happy
to-day by favorable report in their be-
half from the committee on elections.
The committee decided that neither Mr.
Norman nor Rev. Wilson had made out
clear cases against the contestees, and by
a unanimous vote instructed Mr.. Coddlng
of Pennsylvania to draw the report in
favor of Mr.. McLaurin, and Mr.. Bell of
Texas to frame the report In the Lattmer
case.
1t is unusual for a democrat to be se-
leeted to make a report for a republican
committee, but this selection was made to
show the unanimity OF the committee in
these two cases.
The cases were decided upon their mer-
its and the committee found that even IL
all the votes claimed by the contestants
had been allowed there would not have
been enough TO change the result and un-
seat Messrs. McLaurih and Lattimer.
The constitutionality of the state reg
istration laws cut no figure in these two
cases, but Il Is said that II will be an Inn
portant factor of the Stokes-J Johnston
case, which is expected to be decided to-
morrow.
The case of Col. Elliott has not been
acted upon, as the committee is still wait
ing for the official returns from certain
precincts in Charleston which were re-

CAPTURE OF THE FIIIBUsTERs.
Conviction of the Prisoners to he
Very Difficult.

New York, Feb. 26.-The steam lighter
]. S. T. Stranahan, loaded with arms and
ammunition belonging to Cuban 1libus-
ters, until her guard rails are almost
flush with the water, is lying at the
Battery, and was visited this morning by
the chief of the fire department He gave
orders that the lighter should be taken
away, and anchored down the bay, as she
is a menace to life and property.
The Evening Sun says: THE general
opinion among the federal authorities in
the postoffice building this morning was
that there was little chance of convicting
the five men arrested yesterday as lead
ers of the filibustering expedition, whicn
was nipped in the bud and resulted in the
capture of the steamship Bermuda, three
tugs and all the ammunition. There is
little evidence, the authorities say, upon
which to base conviction. Every one, OF
course, understood that the expedition
was bound for Cuba and that the rifles
and ammunition were intended for Gen.
Gomez and his men, but despite these
facts there is not great deal of evidence
to prove violation of the section under
which the raid was made No rifles or
ammunition We're found on the steam
ship Bermuda. The firearms were captured
on the tugboat or the steam lighter j. s.
Stranahan while the boat was on its way
down the bay. Representatives of the
Spanish government will make every ef-
fort however, to have the five alleged
leaders now out on bail convicted. These
men are Calixto Garcia, leader of the
Cuban filibusters; Capt Samuel Hughes
Capt. John Brabazon Treasurer Guerra
of the Cuban junta, and J. ID. Hart, the
alleged owner of the Bermuda. 1t is ex>
pected that within the next few days some
one will call at the marshal's office and
claim the forty tons of rifles and ammuni-
tion now on board the detained tugboat
Stranahan. If the persons claim appears
to be a sound one, supported by proof
that the goods are not intended for Cuba
the firearms will be surrendered, but may
form part of another expedition. The
Bermuda had not cleared for Cuba and
her apparent destination was jamaica
The captain of the Stranahan declares
that he didn't know the contents of the
boxes containing rifles and ammunition
nor did he know, he says, what ship he
was taking them to. 1t is also expected
that the Stranahan will be released Short
ly. She is still detained, as is also the
Bermuda, awaiting further orders from
Washington"
There is little If any doubt that several
other members of the Cuban revolution
ary party are to be arrested in connection
with the Hawkins Laurada and Bermuda
expeditions, as the United States depI1fv
marshals are gcurrying around after
conpatriots of Gen. Garcia. An addition
al arrest was made shortly before O'Clock

BOND INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The Attorney General Glasses Them
with Lotteries.

Washington. Feb. 26.-Attorney General
Harmon to-day submitted to Postmaster
General Wilson a decision TO the effect
that the numerous bond and investment
Schemes conducted throughout the coun-
try are lotteries and not entitled to the
privileges of the malls.
The test cases sent TO Attor-
ney General Harmon by Post
master General Wilson were those
OF the Pettis County Bond Invest
ment Company Of Sedalia, Mo-, the Ton
tine Association OF Minneapolis. Columbia
Investment Company OF Cincinnati, The
National Investment Company of Cincin-
natl, the Tontine Investment Company OF
Washington, ID. c.; and the Southern Mu-
tual Investment Company of Lexington.
Attorney General Harmon. in his opin-
ion, considered chiefly the cases of the
Pettis Investment Company, the most i'm
portant one argued before the department,
and which the attorney general says COW
ers all the others, which are alike in gen.
eral design and differ only in details and
methods. They induce subscriptions for
bonds by holding out the chance of re-
ceivlng large sums for small payments.
the chance depending on the numbering
OF the bonds. Without the ever present
chance of speedily getting much for lit
tie not one of these companies would at
tempt TO do business or succeed in the
attempt.
The Pettis Company the Attorney Cen
eral says, has only capital of 5000, but
eAuViuVN III boiiAs nave Dten utDOHlleu on
its behalf, as required by the law of Mis-
sourt from insurance and other companies.
This OF course, has been done by It's pro-
moters, and shows their faith I'm the prof
itableness OF the scheme.
IL has been urged that the invest
ments' offered by these companies don't
differ in principle from insurance and
are in fact fairer and better because the
bondholder does not have to dispose OF
his property TO realize on it. The attor-
ney general says the fallacy of this con-
tention consists in confusing mere chance
with uncertainty. Ones property may
not burn at all; and the time he win die
is not known, but neither event depends
upon mere chance and the law. therefore,
recognizes contracts contingent upon
them. while II does not countenance lot
teres.
The Attorney General, therefore. con-
cludes that all companies which promise
payments to part only OF a class, who an
stand on an equal footing. leaving the
selection to depend on any rule OF hazard,
whether such payments constitute the en-
tire scheme OF theii' business or are con
nected with other features which would
not, by themselves. be Objectionable,
come within the provisions Of the anti
lottery law and are not entitled to the
use OF the United States mail.

ELKINs MAKES A DENIAL. I
He Has Not Said West virginia
Would Choose Mckinley Delegates

Washington, Feb. 2s.-seBator Elkins'
attention being called to published re-
port from Cleveland. dated the 21st inst,
representing that he was In that city and
authorized the statement that the delega-
ton from West Virginia would support
Mr.. Mckinley at the st. Louis convention.
and that he CElkins) was for him, stated
that he authorized no such statement and
that he had not declared his preference
for the presidency to any one. He said
that the statement that West Virginia
would be for Mckinley does the state an
injustice, as well as the delegates, who
are yet to be chosen. He does not wish
to be understood as trying to commit the
state or the delegates to any particular
candidate.
Senator Elkins further expressed the
opinion that the southern Republicans
should send delegates not pledged
to any candidate: and that thew
should confer after reaching st. Louis and
decide upon the wisest and best course TO
be pursued in, the interest of the south
and act as a unit upon some definite line

ton to judge intellgently OF
the results and effects of such
a parade, have opposed 1t from
the start. Still. the arrangements for il
went on until Commander-in-Chief Ivan
N. Walker of the Grand Army Of the Re
public put himself on record as being op-
posed to the parade on the proposed lines.
Commander-in-Chief Walker, i'm an inter-

Grand Army of the Republic men of most
of the important cities of the country. and
found that they were opposed to the pa.

Troops in AbysSinfa.
Rome, Feb. 26.-For some reason not
clearly expressed, Lieut.. Gen. Baldisseya,
commandant of the military division of
Novara, has been appointed at the last
moment to the chief command of the Ital-
ian forces in Africa, instead of Lieut.. Gen.
Pelloux, whose appointment was announc-
ed on Monday. The government has re-
ceived information that the Abbyssnian
army after passing Mabret returned to
Adua, where they went into camp.
King Humbert will go to Naples on Feb
28 and remain there over Feb. %, for the
purpose of saluting the troops which are
about to start for Africa to reinforce the
Italian army there.
Advices received by the government
from Adigrat, the italian headquarters in
Abyssinia, state that the italian troops
have had another engagement with the
force under the command of Ras Sebat,
one of the native chiefs who some time
since deserted the Italians, taking with
him quite number of his followers. The
battle resulted in the defeat of the Abyss
inians who lost sixty killed and a hun
dred wounded. Nine of the Italian sol
diers were killed and twenty-eight We're
wounded.
