STUART MEANS BUSINESS.
Offers a Fifteen Thousand Dollar
Purse for n Finish Fight

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 28-There was I'M
usual activity in local sporting circles today
on account of the promise of Dan A. Stuart
that he would offer purse between the
hours of and p. m. for finish fight be-
tween James j. Corbett and Robert Fitz-
simmons. At noon Mr.. Stuart received a
telegram from New York city announcing
that the police commissioners had declined
to grant permit to Warren Lewis for a
limited round go at his Seaside Athletic
club.
At O'Clock tonight Stuart sent for a re-
porter and made known his intention, .au-
thorizng the publication of the following:
Il have offered a purse of $4,000 to be
contested for by Corbett and F'itzsimmons in
fight to a finish for the championship of
the world. Each principal must deposit
$1,000 as guarantee Of appearance in the
ring. The time and place shall be announced
when the men have signed articles of agree
ment and the full amount of the purse
will be deposited when the signatures of
Corbett and Fitzsimmons have been obtained.
This is my offer, and 1t has been wired
to the principals. It is open and above
board. That is the only kind OF a game
that play, and 1 mean business I shall
leave for the East in two or three DAYS to
secure the signature Of Corbett The battle
ground has been selected, and there need he
no fears on that score. The proposition
speaks for itself, and will be carried out to
the letter. "

the presidents choice. Mr.. Mckinley
believes in the strength of first im-
pressions, and that belief will, as L
firmly believe, find public expression in
the selection of a cabinet that will in
every essential feature come up to the
popular thought as to what such a
body Of men should be.
you may want to ask me what about
Merriam? There is nothing to indicate
that Mr. Mckinley ever has thought
of him in connection with a cabinet
appointment but If he had, Merriam
could hardly come up to the high stand
ard which / know is being set at Can
ton for cabinet men. Assuming that
Merriam is all that his friends claim
for him. he is still untried and unprov-
ed in the conduct of affairs on large
scale, and the future is all before him.
He has no record in the public service
that would command the respect and
confidence of the nation, and the APP
pCintment Of any such man as he
would do nothing to strengthen the
administration and open for 1t a short
route to the hearts of the people. This
latter is highly necessary at this time,
as all will admit, and none realizes it
more thoroughly than Mckinley HIM
self. So, 1 come back to what I have
just said, namely, that the cabinet
of the new president will be made up
VI ulSIl WuOSG IGpuldlIOES are lllOI z
than local, and who will bring to him
elements of important strength that
could be secured in no other way.
I'm this matter, of course, l do not
presume to speak for Mckinley. have,
however, his express word that he has
made no promises and held out no
hopes to aspirants for cabinet positions,
and further, that which l have just
mentioned, that the cabinet will be
made up Of big men. From these state
ments you can draw your own conclu-
sions, just as 1 have done.
There will be an extra session of
congress, in my judgment, as soon as
it can be assembled after the inaugu-
ration. Mckinley does not favor the
Dingley bill, which he regards as only
a makeshift at best, and very properly
thinks that, before anything else is
done, the country should be placed
upon a solvent basis. If McKinley's
wishes are followed by the extra ses-
sion, there will be new tariff bill from
start to finish, and no attempt to patch
up any of the bills which are now be-
fore congress. / do not understand
that Mckinley will favor any radical
tariff legislation but he does want
whatever tariff legislation there is to
have the name of the Republican party
stamped upon it.

which they have been directing their

be the elimination of their endeavors.
1t will occupy the last three days or

the women met in the dimness Of the
auditorium to discuss decorations, fur
nishings and entertainment. Last year
the first annual bazaar of the kinder
garten association took place at the
residence of Mrs. Thomas Lowry, and
proved an unequivocal success. This
years fair will be conducted on much
larger and more conspicuous scale. The
place will be the resort of shoppers at
all hours during the day, for the house
will be open from 10 o'clock in the
morning through the evening. There
is talk Of ball for SaturdaySevening,
following an auction Of articles re-
naming unsold, which will bring the
bazaar to a brilliant close.
Every sort of Christmas fancy will
be placed on the sale tables, and every
available idea has been made Market
able for the various booths. A feature
of the decoration will be four large
evergreen trees hung with dolls ot
every description, age and condition,
set around with furnishings Of the
most bewitching make and style, fitted
to adorn the home Of any and every
doll. Mrs F. B. Semple and Mrs. Nor
ris HalloweIl have charge of the dolls
and their outfits. Fancy work tables
offering innumerable, indescribabIe
and bewildering trif1es will be super
intended by Mrs. Lowry and Mrs. w.
E. Steele.
Mrs. Arson B. Jackson will preside
over culinary attractions, which will
include dainties for the table, sweets
for the pantry and good things for the
1arder. Mrs. Lucien Swift will super
wise the paper booths, which will be
arranged in the old proscenium boxes,

will be laden with innumerable baskets
odd, quaint, fancy, foreign, of all
shapes and patterns. Miss Ireys has
charge of the CONNECTIONS.

OFFICERS RESIGN.
Big Sensation Brewing in Southern
Militia Circles.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 2S.-Staff officers
Lieut.. John M. Bryan. inspector of rifle prac-
tfee; Lieut.. William Leakin, commissary, and
Lieut.. ]. B. WEIGH, surgeon of the First bat
talon infantry, Georgia volunteers, have for
warded their designations to the governor.
They are going to retire, they have held
commissions too long, they say. Quarter
master ]. X. Kollach, of the same command,
will resign in few days.
The action of these officers comes in the
nature Of a sensation. Savannah is the
greatest military city in the South, and the
Savannah volunteer guards battalion is its
most famous military organization. The
simultaneous discovery by so many Of it's
commissioned officers that they had served
the state too long and their coincident resig-
nations have caused a great deal of specula-
ton, and it is limited that there is something
inspiring their action--which will shake up
military circles all over the state when it
comes to light. The guards are a social as
well as a military organization, and the off
GERS who have resigned are prominent in

FOR SWEET CHARITY.
Destitute Men to Be Provided With
Suitable Quarters.

The matter of providing suitable
quarters and temporary lodging for
destitute men has begun to assume
| definite shape. The committee of citi-
zenS chosen at the West hotel meeting
has considered the matter and arrived
at plan which they think is a good
one. Their idea is not to make the
place a lounging place for tramps,
every man going there being required
to work If there is any ON hand. The
plan of getting something for nothing
will not be encouraged in the least at
this home, which will be copied as much
! as the conditions will allow, from the
Chicago institution.
The report embodies a subscription
list, which has been started with a
good round sum by members Of the
committee. The report is as follows:
Citizens Of Minneapolis: The undersigned
a committee existing through the action Of
a general meeting of citizens held at the
West hotel, Nov. &c. 1896, to consider the
question of providing relief for destitute men,
statement
Your committee has considered the ques-
ton Of providing temporary shelter and re-
lief for the unemployed who needing
assistance and the impossibility of meeting
the conditions with anything like perfect
satisfaction; yet, after carefully looking over
the situation, we believe it to be the duty
OF the citizens of Minneapolis to undertake
the establishment of a temporary refuge for
this class of people that shall relieve their
immediate wants and to make efforts to fur
nlsh them employment in the city or coun-
try round about. With view to furnishing
such relief and assistance, but at the same
time to avoid making our city a rendezvous
for large proportion of the unfortunates
in the Northwest and to furnish assistance
In a spirit of good will and friendly consid-
Grafton of their needs. we recommend and
desire to obtain means to carry out the fol-
lowing plan:
To lease temporarily with the privilege
OF extending the time for a couple of years
or more. building or rooms in the central
portion CT the city and to fit 1t up with baths
wash tubs, steam cleansing closets for SAM
tary and laundry purposes, and to provide a.
lunch counter and number of very plain
hunks for lodgings.
we ind that it will cost approximately
$6,OOO' which amount we appeal to the citi-
zens of Minneapolis to contribute
1t Will be the effort of your committee to
be as helpful and charitable to this class
OF unfortunate men as can, without i'm
posing upon the liberality of the people
by a coarse that will tend to increase idle
ness rather than to reduce. The condition
OF a large proportion of these men is owing
to the unfortunate times and the industrial
depression which rests so heavily upon the
whole country.
We ask your cooperation and assistance
In carrying out this work.

Says No Promises of Cabinet PO-
sitiOns Have Been Made.

sitions Have Been Made.
Ex-senator Washburn returned home
yesterday from his business trip TO
New York and New England OF his
visit to Canton on Thanksgiving DAY
Mr.. Washburn talked quite freely.
Mr.. Mckinley wants first of all and
above all to be a good president" said
he. Beyond this he has no ambition.
No feelings Of a personal nature will
be allowed to interfere with his pur-
pose along this line, and it is nv opin-
ion that in all matters of appointments
from members of the cabinet down. he
will act with reference to the future
rather than the past. He wants to
gather around him in the cabinet men
who will make that cabinet historic,
and give it full rank with the best cab
inets in the history of the country. Thia
being true, it will be his purpose to
select the very best men in the coun-
try for cabinet positions-men whose
very presence at his counsel board will
at once establish his administration
among the whole people, and bring It
the confidence and support Of men of
all forms Of political belief. Mr. Nc
Kinley makes no secret Of this matter
and he assured me that there was abb
solutely no foundation for the numer-
GUS and varied cabinet guesses that are
going the rounds of the press and politi-
clans. He has not, even by implication,
made single cabinet pledge. Not only
is this true, but it also true that he has
not yet settled in his own mind upon
any man whom he will ask to become
a member of his official family. In all
probability there will be few, IL any
decisions in this direction before March.
Sc much more than usual is depending
this time upon the selection of a cab
met, so much more as to the country
as well as to the Republican party, that
the president fully alive to the
weight of responsibility which is rest
ing upon him for both, very wisely has
dict that every cabinet officer will be
a man Of national reputation, of proved
ability, of wide experience, and pos
sessed of a character that will bring
prompt approval from the public of

SIN view of the fact that the question OF

Police Put Two CharitabIy Disposed
Individuals Under Arrest

Moriarty last evening on the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses MORT
arrested on the same charge in the after
noon. The two men were selling tickets for a
sewing machine rattle for the benefit of Wild
ow M. P. Brown, residing at 243 Twelfth
avenue south. Although such name is not
given in the directory the police found
Widow Brown. and discovered that she was
sick and poor, and, being sixty years of
age, is unable to earn her living. She said
that the two men had come to her claiming
they could dispose of large number of tick
cts, as they were railroad men, and knew
the men on the road Mcclellan had sold
two tickets, and had turned over so cents
to the widow. The police however, think
they nipped the game of the two men in the
bud, as they are both said to be of bad repu-
tation. Mrs. Brown admitted that she did
not know much about the men, and seemed
to have considerable confidence in them.
