%11.-Fifty correspondents here have
made a compact to work together and
do the Journal up. They have openly
threatened Stuart that they will kill
the fight if be does not agree to keep
US out Of the arena during the fight.
They dog us and spy on US every
where. 1t is the Journal against the
whole country. They have threatened
to roast Fitzsinmous and Corbett for
the next ten years. They have alter
nately bullied apd fawned on trainers
and %eervants, and tried to steal our
copy from our WI messengers.
This is signed by an Examiner man.
E. W. KELLY, The World.
AT APPEAL reporter was at once
dispatched to learn the truth Of the
above and found that the dispatch,
merely had for it's foundation the fact
that a messenger boy sent by Mr..
Williams to the telegraph office, had
been stopped by some World end
Herald men and had his throat cut
from a to ear, in order to keep him
from getting the news to New York
that Corbett had paired his ~toenails.
The boy had no parents living aud
died happy, having shed his blood
exclusively for the Journal and Elk
amiler.
Yesterday afternoon Geo. Siler, the
referee, Dan Stuart, Martin Julian,
representing FItzsimmons, William
Brady, representing Corbett and the
representatives of the various news
papers met in Odd Fellows Hall to
come to a final decision on the rules
that would govern the fight. At
times the discussion was very AMI
mated. Julian held that when the
match Vas made his man made it to
Queepsberry rules and he had an api-
mated, but gentlemanly discussion
over clause 2.
Fitz, he held, WAS not accustomed TO
lighting in the clinch. Julian cited
the Hall fight when Fitz won on the
blow In the clinch. Brady broke in
with, whats the matter with the
Choynski fight in Boston? Fitz
clinched to save himself and would
today be champion of his
class, had he not done So" Brady
Julian and Siler were all talking at
Julian held that Corbett won
the championship under the old way.
Yes said Siler; had the rules been
enforced, Sullivan would have
lost on a foul In New Orleans and the
championship Of the world would still
be in doubt"
Julian then offered to accept London
Ring rules and have all the hugging
and wrestling they wanted. He wanted
Marquis Of Queenberry rules or Lon
don rules, but no half way measures.
He did not think Siler had any right
10 say how, long established rules
be interpreted. Talk was made
leaving it to Stuart He said be
was not competent.
Brady said hat if Siler's interpre- !
tation of the rules went. the fight |
would be o ou its merits and no
after talk OF foul and no chance for
lie loser to show a sore toe for wears.
ullan said finally that anything that
Stuart and Siler agreed on would suit
him.
Good good came from ali over
he room and harmony was at once
restored,
Stuart and Siler went to a corner
and had a few minutes quiet talk,
it was announced that they had
their decision. Julian
over to Stuart, and the press
men crowded about them. ''Siler
'ules will stand Mr.. Julian" said
stuart, Il think it will be fair to both
the fight will be won on its
