NO GOOD DEFER REFUSED
Stu, Corbett has no Objection TO Closing
With "A Better

San Francisco, Sept. 22.-Saturday
night last Manager Groom, who was
Slightly nettled because an offer Of
SO, 900 telegra phed TO CoTbett and Shar-
key a week previous had been treated
with what savored of silent contempt,
sped another couple of mess geS over
the wires, warning the big brlbisers that
the National clubs offer would only re-
main open a week longer Yesterday
Groom had a dispatch from Corbett,
stat ting that if tine club would post the
amount Of the purse in responsible
hands, with the understanding that
Corbett and Sharkey were TO receive
the full amount whether the fight took
place or not, the offer would be accept
ed, and the fighters would come here
without delay. Corbett mentioned that
Sharkey and himself had decided TO box
their ten rounds on some date between
November 20 and 80.
While Groom was on a, still hunt for
his associates in the fight-promoting
line, to lay Corbett's suggestions before
them, he was shown an evening paper
which contained an article setting forth
that Mr.. A EfTnghouse, representing
the Eureka club, had secured from the
supervisors a permit for the Corbett-
that the fighters had accepted Filing
houses offer Of $4,000 for ten rounds
and that the fight would take place
on Thanksgiving eve.
Groom then did bit Of telegraphing
on his own account. He wired Corbett
10 know II the news anent the Eureka
offer was true. If il WAS. he said. OF
course the National club dropped out
as a bidder. and If Co-'bett still desired
TO accept the Nationals offer his de-
mand on the matter of placing the So
600 in the hands of responsible persons
would be complied with Grom received
no answer last night
in regard 10 the Eureka clubs trans
action with COr'bett, MIR. Stockweil said
last night: We have been negotiating
with Corbett for some ten DAYS past.
Some days ago We sent him telegram
Offering $4,000 for a contest with Shar-
key. On Friday last he wired an ac-
ceptance and then We forwarded a Letter
containing fun particulars as to date
and number of rounds. We suggested
ten rounds and Thanksgiving eve as the
date, and SO far as We know, our prop
ositfon is acceptable % Corbett and
Sh2rkey Corbett certainly telegraph
ed Us his acceptance and we hardly see
how ne can have accepted any other
offer since that"

Pops IN SECRET CONFERENCE
Tom Watson is Present and the Meeting
May Bode Ill for SewalI.


st. Louis, Mo, Sept. PA political
conference of much moment was held
today, though it was next 20 impossi-
BILE to get at the result Of it.
In the conference were Thomas Wat
son. Of Georgia, candidate for vice
president on the PopuIist ticket; George
w. Washburne, of Massachusetts, in
charge of Populist western headquar-
ters at Chicago; II. W. Reed, Popu-
list national committeeman for Geor-
gia. and chairman of the finance COM
nittee, and A. Roselle, chairman of the
Populist state convention of Missouri
The flying visit of Washburne and
Van Dervoort gave rise to the story that
Candidate Watson had called them here
TO confer about the adviSabiIty of is
suing manifesto calling on the DEM
ocratS to at once withdraw Arthur
SewaH from the Democratic ticket, or
fusion would be declared off in all the
states. 1t was at first said that Mr.
Washburne came armed with plenary
power from Senator Marion Butler,
Chairman Of the Populist national COM
rnittee. to issue the Watson defiance,
but Ny. Watson fatty refused to discuss
the question of the retirement of Mr.
SewaI or himself. The others would
not state what was done at the con-
ference.
Later in the day it developed that Mr.
WaShburne'S mission in St Louis was
not altogether confined to his confer
ence with Watson and Reed. He came
to take a hand in the proposed fusion
between the Democrats and Populists
on the electoral ticket

because Of tradition and interest, yet
of course we can't have what we love
unless other nations help US.
DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
1.-THE Democratic party in 1884 declar-
ed for honest money, and then. very I'M
like the present advocates of honest
money, the Democratic party told what
honest money was. 1t declared for hon
est money, the gold and silver coinage
OF the constitution Great applause.
And it elected on that platform And
in 1883 the Democratic convention re-
affirmed the platform OF 1884, again de-
claring for honest money, the gold and
silver coinage of the constitution, and
then in 1892 what did the Democratic
party say:
owe hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of
the country, and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimination
against either metal or free coinage.
ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.
"My friends, our opponents tell you
that I am very radical 1 am con-
sentative man. The goldbugs who think
I am radical, so the papers say. have
joined with the Populists of Texas, who
think that 1 am not radical enough.
(Applause) My friends, 1 am a con-
sentative man. am q believer In law
and order. / believe in the enforcement
Of law. 1 do not believe that any man,
whether he be small or great, Should
defy the law. If would say that am
in favor of enforcing law against the
small, l would be a good man. 1t is
when I say that l am IN favor of en-
forcing the law against the great that
/ become a dangerous man."
Continuing, the nominee asserted that
the financial question could not be set
tied until it was settled right, and that
finances and bond issues would disturb
the country as long as the government
was ON a gold standard.
He concluded his remarks with ref
erence to Prince Bismarck's letter. The
mention of the name OF the German
statesman was loudly cheered.
Mr.. Bryan did not attempt to speak
from the Academy bacolny to the crowd
in the street, but drove direct TO the
downtown open air meeting. Here
fully 5000 people were congregated. He
arrived at about 1O:45 but the noise and
confusion was so great that he spoke
only a few words and then returned 10
his hotel. The weather had grown
quite cold and an attempt to make a
speech would have been disastrous to
Mr. Bryan'S vocal organs.

THE SILVER DELUGE

going to have a flood OF silver. l Will

in this audience are more accustomed 10

who have had too muoh money If l can
have those who have not had enough.
(Applause.)
my friends, our opponents have been
trying TO appeal for the votes of the Ia
boring men. 1 will call your attention
to the fact that the laboring men OF this
country, through their organizations.
have declared in favor of the free COIN
age of silver because the Iaboring men
know that the gold standard destroyed
their employment and the gold standard
makes idle men who beg for the chance

 Alfred RDa nd Killed,

A repor. was received here yesttI- day Of the murder of Mir. Alfred Hand, c well known Cochise county raucher, in the San Simon valley. Jt is supposed the bloody work was done hy renegade Indians, as the tracks of
 hrss Indians wearing moecssins were cen about the mu,ilsted body.
 The news was very meagre. Hand vas iu charge ef his herd of sheep when attacked, being shot through the heart, and with murdarous fendish- ness his body was horribly elashed and GU; in numerous places by the rcd hsnded ascasins.
 Tte scene Of the murder is an nut of the way place and on the old trail pi Indians going to and from Mexico. Ths troops at For, Gran, have been notified and q detail oi Indian scouts and ,railefs under Lieu'. Hice, the gentleman who passed through Tombstone several weeks since with . returning to Fort Grant, alter tour through that section, sc- quainting himself with the country in ] case of action. The troops by this time are on the trail, but a the h. disns were headed for Mexico and but one days travel 10 reach the line, the murderers are doubtless out of reach and safe in the Sierra Madree.
 More particulars will bo made known upon the return of the expedition.
