Nevada Meet and Congratulate Each
Other and Exchange Compliments.
Carson, New, Feb. 15.--Dan Stuart
has at last arrived and has announced
that the big fight between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons will occur in Carson,
March IL. Although Stuart had reit-
Grated all the way up from Texas that
he had not decided where the fight was
to be held, il did not take him long to
make up his mind after he got here.
The pugilistic impressario gives as a
reason for the selection of Carson in
preference to Reno, that the Carson
people had worked hard for the passage
Of the prizefght bill, while Reno citi-
zens were opposed to it. Stuart thinks
that the facilities for the accommoda-
tion and transportation Of big crowd
at Carson are fully sufficient, and says
that he has made very satisfactory ar
rangements with the railroad.
If the matter can be arranged to suit
him, Stuart will offer big purses for a
live-bird shooting tournament, which
he expects will be attended by all the
noted shots of the country.
No announcement as yet has been
made from any official source as to
where the pavilion will be built, but
it probably will be in the heart of
the city, and few minutes walk from
the railroad. A local agent gives it out
that the first building. owing to the
short time in which to erect it, will not
be permanent one, and therefore there
will be many places in the heart of the
city where it can be erected without in
terfering with anyone. There will be
many other attractions at the same
time, if present plans are carried out,
and most Of them will be in the pugil-
istic line. Just what men will meet in
the ring besides Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons. Stuart will not say, beyond that
two of them will be sharkey and Ma
her, il these men can come to any
agreement, and will fight for reason

wlTHDRAws THE BILL.
Senator Morgan Vents His Keen
Disappointment.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Nor
gan. the champion of the Nicaragua
canal bill, announced in the senate to-
day his abandonment of that measure
for the present session of congress, and
thereupon 1t was displaced by the bank
ruptcy bill. The senator made this
move after protracted contest, cover
ing several weeks, which had disclosed
the fact that obstructive opposition
could not be overcome. He gave notice
that he would renew his advocacy OF the
bill at an early date of the coming ex-
ira session.
Morgan bitterly criticised the British
opposition to the canal, and, addressing
himself directly to Sherman, declared
that if the next secretary Of state per-
mitted himself to be fed on the ano-
dimes Of fiattery OF Great Britain, the
people would not support him. Mr..
Morgan asserted also that Sherman
would not succeed in negotiating a
treaty relating to the canal, as the
genius of Talleyrand or Matternich
could not stand against the "thimble-
rigging" of those republics.
The bankruptcy bill succeeded to the
advantageous position of unfinished
business" but the debate went over
until tomorrow.
The agricultural appropriation bill
was taken up late in the day, and
passed at $S, ,2b5, 500. 1t led to a lively
debate, in which Secretary Morton was
sharply criticised by Senators Vest,
Chandler, Tillman and others.
The house bill was passed extending
the time for complying with the re.
quirements of the act forfeiting rail
road lands, Mcbride explaining that
the bill applied to lands along the
Northern Pacific route.

NATIONAL HOUSE.


Immigration BID.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE house
today agreed to the final conference re-
port on the immigration bill by an
overwhelming majority-217 to ss-
and passed two more pension bills over
the presidents veto. The modifca-
tions Of the immigration bill contained
in the conference report, by which an
intending immigrant was required TO
be able to read and write "the English
or another language, and which per-
mitted his illiterate wife and minor
children to accompany an eligible i'm
migrant, removed the main objection
to the bill, but Mahany, Maguire and
Kiefer opposed the whole theory Of the
bill on general principles Bartholdt
and Mccall both spoke in favor Of the
bill as modified.
The benefciaries Of the pension bills
passed over the veto were both Of the
class known as REMARKED widows. I"
President Cleveland has disapproved q
number of these bills, but he has also
allowed several TO become laws without
his signature.

officer on the board appointed TO ex-
anime the deep-water harbor on the
southern coast of California on the
same footing as other members Of the

HARRlsoN's REPORT.
Advantages OF . Commission in Deal.
ing with Pacific Roads.

ing Win Fhcluc ROADS,
Washington, Feb. l5.-Representa.
tive Harrison, of Alabama, today made
report to the house from the commit
tee on Pacific railroads for the settle
ment of the affairs of the Pacific roads
by commission. Mr.. Harrison says
that it has been demonstrated that it is
impossible to place the questions in
volved in the governments relations
with the railroads with all their tech
nical details, before congress in such
manner that intelligent action can be
taken. The report continues:
THE debts due to the government
are daily growing larger and means of
payment smaller. Foreclosure pro-
ceedings are pending against the Union
Pacific, and this road is likely to be
sold, and the governments claim
against the same disposed of before the
next regular session of congress. If
this should occur, the most valuable
and important part of this great line of
railway across the continent will have
passed to other hands without the pre-
servation to the government of the
many valuable rights and privileges it
now has"
1t is argued that better price can be
obtained for the Union and Central Pa
cific jointly, but that congress cannot
conduct the necessary negotiations.
The advantages of commission con-
sisting of secretaries of the treasury
and interior and the encouragement,
are pointed out, one of them being that
all information relating to the roads is
in these departments.

Toledo. o., Feb. 1l.-A passenger
agent Of the Canadian Pacific, now in

to avoid public functions as much az
possible, and intends to make the cir
cult Of the globe as private citizen.
Private Secretary Thurber and sew

Athens, Feb. 1.-THE latest reports
from Canea are to the effect that the
situation on the island of Crete is crit
ical to say the least. In Canea it is
said that the Christians have hoisted
the Greek flag and invited the COM
mander of the Greek feet to train his
guns on the city, in the name of the
king of Greece. 1t is also stated that
the Greek squadron, on arriving at
Canea, did not salute the Turkish flag.
If these rumors are true the whole
island is probably in turmoil of war,
and the foreign fleets may have to take
action to prevent further disorders.
