Attorney-GeneraI ChurchiII's Ruling
on n Law Passed By the Last Ne
brasla Legislature.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 11.-An opinion
rendered ar the request of Governor
HClcomb by Attorney General Church.
i'll has caused surprise, almost con-
sternation, among incoming state Off
cials today. 1t is in effect that the
law passed by the last legislature al
lowing state, county or city officers TO
give bonds furnished by guarantee
companies is unconstitutional. This
conclusion of the attorney general may
have an important bearing on the ac-
ton of incoming state officers. 1t has
been reliably reported that State
Treasurer ELECT Meserve proposes to be
prepared for any emergency by pre-
senting to the governor and other Off
Gals whose duty it is to pass on his
bond, two bonds. one executed by
guarantee companies and another
signed by citizens of the state. 1t has
been claimed by supporters of the in
coming administration that the state
would have no right to pay the fee
demanded by the guarantee companies
in such a case, and that the treasurer
himself cannot afford to pay the fee.
because it would amount to more than
his salary. The contention of the at
torney-general is that there must be q
personal surety without cost to the
state. though admitting that there are
elements of doubt in the question. The
validity OF bonds now in force fur
nished by these companies is not
brought into question, though it may
be later.

New York, Dec. Thames ]. Cor
bett and Robert Fitzsimmons have
once more opened negotiations for a
match TO decide the championship of
the world. Since the unsatisfactory
contest between Sharkey and the New
Zealander, Corbett has been doing all
the forcing, and it is evidently his in
tention TO try Fitzsimmons at an early
date, if such a thing is possible.
Corbett is not so anxious for a trial
against Sharkey as he was before the
sensational statements of the sailors
trainers were made in court. His atti-
tude, in fact, indicates he thinks there
was job TO give Fitzsimmons what
IS known in sporting circles as the

cisco clubs offered Corbett and Fits
simmons $4,000 purse to box ten
rounds. When Corbett was notified of
the offer, he suggested by telegram
that an additional $4,000 might be
tackled on for a Is round go
10 this the club speedily agreed, but
FitzsimmOns declined TO fight, but
claiming he would meet Corbett to a
finish IL he fought him at all. This
word was sent 10 the champion yes
terday.

he said. I've been trying for months
to bring this man to time, but he

And Corbett dictated a telegram to
the club offering to stop FitZsimmonS
in 20 rounds or forfeit all the money.
If Fitz is On his feet at the end of
the goth round" Corbett wrote, L

am sure L can knock him out in that
time
At a late hour last night Corbett re-
ceived word from San Francisco that
Fitz would not agree to his terms. The
message said Fitz has positively de-
cided to box before Dan Stuart's club
and no other.
Very well, remarked Corbett, I'm
open for propositions from Stuart But
unless he can show he is able to pull off
the night this time l shall not sign an
agreement with FitZsimmons l don't
care to spend $4,000 again chasing
around the country after Fitsimmons.

New York, Dec. IA special cable
dispatch from London 10 the sun says:
/ Not until yesterday was the press OF
London given an intimation of the
momentoas news of the definite agree
ment of the powers for effectual in
tervendon in Turkey.
The Times and Chronicle print lead
ers in which the fact is tentatively an
nounced. The Times article is by far
the more important. for it has been
directly inspired from official sources. It
is most carefully worded, for the gov
eminent will refrain from making any
official announcement until the ulJi
matum is presented to the sultan a
week hence. The Times says: rDiplom-
acy has been busy since the visit of
the car al BalmOral and Paris, and,
despite many obstacles OccasiOned by
the diversity of national interests and
the jealouSIeS to which they give rise,
q measure of agreement appears to
have been arrived at.
If, as we believe to be the case,
the powers not only intend to present
a fresh scheme TO the sultan, but ex-
pect him to accept il and carry il out,
mis- natural astuteness and innate
sense of his own interests must speed
lily lead him to realize that he is face
TO face with an entirely novel and
most disagreeable situation.
"Of course he is not likely to aban-
don his old and well-tried tactics all
at once. Desperate efforts to divide
the powers and play them off against
each other, and heroic attempts TO
induce them TO accept promises for
performance may be anticipated as a
matter of routine.
But for these things, doubtless, all
the powers will be prepared, and if
they really expect the porte to sub
init, they will know how to meet and
disconcert manouvers so familiar.
There is. of course, but one way Of
convincing the sultan that the powers
are in earnest. They must give him
to understand, with unmistakable
plainness, that unless he consents to
act and proceeds TO act as they expect
him to do, they viii concert measures
of coercion against him. Unless that

HARSIOx's VIEWS.
Adverse to Allowing Claims Accru-
ing From FiIibustering Expedi-
fiOns.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Harmon, responding to a request
from the secretary of state, concerning
the question of damages accruing from
flibustering operations organized in
this country, has, in a memorandum
sent to the state department, given
an opinion adverse TO the allowance of
any claims arising from flibustering
organizations. The opinion declares
that the mere sale or shipment of arms
by persons in the United States to
persons in Cuba is not a violation of
international law. individuals in the
United States have a right TO sell and
ship such articles to whomsoever may
choose to buy them but if the persons
supplying such munitions of war from
q place in the United States are in
any wise parties 10 a design that force
shall be employed against the Spanish
authority, then the enterprise is not
commercial. and is a violation of in
ternational law.
The opinion further substantially
declares that while the president may
employ military and naval force TO
dispense or prevent a departure from
cur territory Of expeditions, it is plain
that such means are practical only
when there has been defiance Of the
government by an organized body of
men Our constitution forbids the ar
bitrary exercise Of power where the
liberty or property of individual citi-
Zcns is involved.

Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-THE Bessemer

the United States adjourned at J
O'Clock this afternoon, after three
days session, with a declaration that
until the market conditions are more
favorable, there viii be no arbitrary re-
strictions placed on members regard

compromised, for the present, at least,
as 2 result of the session, and all of the
firms who had expressed satisfaction
affirmed their approval of the action
taken to harmonic the discOrd which
had developed between themselves and
some of the larger firms.
After the meeting this evening,
Secretary Griseom issued this state
ment: Owing to the condition of the
iron and steel business at present, no
fixed price has been arranged by the
association for billets. slabs and sheet
bars covered by the association. How
ever. the association continues intact,
and the adjournment was taen with

On the other hand. some of the
neighboring companies have a larger

Moderately Warm.

New York, Dec. 11.-Dan Creedon
whipped Dick OBrlen of Boston here
tonight in eight rounds O'Brien
showed himself a wonderfully game
man and terror to take punishment.
Though Creedon was tired at the
/ finish, he showed himself the best man
in every way. About 1900 people were
present when the opening bout in
which Billy Whistler OF Philadelphia
and Eddy Curry, a local boxer, were
the principals They Went the s\Du-
lated ten rounds at 120 pounds and
We're pretty evenly matched. but Ref
cree Roche gave the decision 10 Curry
The verdict was roundly Kissed and
hooted. 1t should have been draw.
The big fellows were not long in
getting into the ring. Creedon was
seconded by Sol Smith, JenI Mace, the
eX-heaVy weight champion, and Benny
Murphy. O'Brien's seconds were Dan
ny Mcbride, Tim McGrath, Scotty
Faulkner and Jack Burns.
Dick Roche was referee and Fred
Flick kept the clock. The betting was
about 9 to in favor Of Creedon. Both
got into the ring at 9:55. They fought
at catch weights, Creedon scaling 161
pounds. O'Brien at first refused TO
give his weight, but later confessed to
Isl pounds though ne looked at least
nine pounds heavier.
Round AFTER a moments sDarring

Dicks face. He repeated a moment
later. OBrien countering on the body
O'Brien led twice but was blocked.
Then he tapped Dan lightly on the
face. They exchanged lefts and Cree
don pushed his glove into O'Brien's
face and the latter slipped down. He
got up and sent the right to the jaw,
Creedon countering on the body.
Round 90 Brien led, but was
stopped. Dan sent a left to the wind
and another in the face. OBrien sent
hard right on the wind, and d left on
the jaw later. but was well countered
each time. Creedon out a left on the
nose. and then sent a right to the jaw,
staggering Dick. Creedon forced the
fighting. Just as the bell rang, Dick
put a hot swing on the wind, but Dan
only smiled.
Round was mix up in which Cree
don was the best man.
There was very lively fighting in the
next two rounds. ard at the end of
round 6, O'Brien sent a right to the
jaw that nearly knocked Creedon down
and both were bleeding and almost
groggy when the bell rang.
Round 10 Bren's left found the
nose and Dan sent a hard one on the
wind. CreedOn started in again with
left tabs on the face. The Australian
followed w and put hard left three
times on the jaw. O'Brien sent a warm
left on Dams jaw. Both were very
tired when the round ended
Round s was a hot one. Both men
were game.
Round 9-Creedoa sent his left to the
jaw. OBrien mixed it IN but Cree

rights and lefts that made the Boston
boy groggy. But he was game 10 the |
