San Francisco, Feb. 16.-James j.
Corbett, while en- route to-his training
quarters in Nevada, was the recipient
of as many honors as a presidential
candidate.
At every little station between San
Francisco and Sacramento. as soon as
the train stopped at the depot, crowds
thronged around the sleeper and begged
for a sight of the great heavyweight.
Corbett was in excellent humor and
gratified the curiosity of his admirers
at every point.
His reception at Suisun was particu-
larly fiattering. The town band lined
up beside the car and played See, the
Conquering Hero Comes" and over
1000 spectators crowded about huge
bonfire and cheered the pride of the
mission
Corbett stepped to the platform,
warmly thanked his friends for their
loyalty; the crowd cheered again, an
wills were fired and the train pulled
out
At Sacramento, there was large and
enthusiastic crowd assembled at the
depot when the train pulled in, and
Corbett received an ovation which
lasted 20 minutes, the crowd cheering
and yelling like men gone mad.
Dan Stuart will meet Corbett at
Reno. and after short business chat
the great pugilistic promoter will jour
ney to San Francisco to complete
some important business arrangements
connected with the gambling end of
the great fighting carnival.
A sporting man who is very close to
Stuart said yesterday that until the
fighting manager can secure two first
class pugilists who will agree to do
battle TO a finish for a small purse,
which must not exceed $500, there will
not be .. second attraction.
Stuart figures that a second attrac-
tion Will not bring any more people
to Carson than the crowd that will be
REPRESENTED on the 18th of March to
see the championship battle, conse-
quentlX. he is not very anxious to match
any of the champions unless they are
willing TO go in and SCRAP for the
honor and glory that may be attached
to win. Stuart may pull, off" live
bird trap shooting tournament. as
there will not be much expense at
tached to a scheme of this kind, and
gambling on the results will be heavy.

WAS A BUSY DAY.
IDAHo'S SoLoNs GOT DOWN TO
BUSINESS.
Struggle of the Day Was Over the
Medical Bill-Idaho's Lawmakers
Will Visit Salt Lake.
fsneolal 10 The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Feb. 16.-Today was a
busy one in the legislature. The SEN
ate met at l o'clock and held until 6,
while the house INDUCED in an evening
session.
The senate passed the bill reducing
the number of regents of the university
from to 5.
The bill making an appropriation for
completion of the Little Salmon divi-
sion of the state wagon road was
killed.
The struggle of the day was over
the medical bill. 1t was passed along
to within a few lines of the end when
Davis, of Oneida, offered a section ad-
ding a scale of fees to be charged by
doctors.
Ballantine of Ada and Turner of
Bingham, who had been steadily vot-
ing with the majority, indicated a will
lingness to consider the new PROPOSE
ton and the committee stopped. and
left the rest of the bill until morning.
In the house a bill was put through
the committee of the whole making
provision respecting the care of state
funds, the action of the body being
hurried by the failure of the Blackfoot
bank.
The bill establishing the office of
state mine inspector was passed.
Both houses voted to adjourn from
Saturday noon until Tuesday at 1
o'clock in order to permit the members
to accept an invitation to make trip
TO Salt Lake. Monday is a legal holi-
day and the only time lost will be Sat
urday afternoon and Tuesday morning,
it being agreed that night sessions shah
be held to make this UP.
The state funds bill provides that
the treasurer shall make call for
warrants whenever he has as much as
s., 900 on hand and all money belonging
in permanent funds shall be invested
at once in state warrants. The scare
here respecting the safety of state
funds led the governor TO demand a
count of money in the Capital State
bank. in which the bulk of the money
is deposited The deposit amounted to
ss6 600 and more than $4,000 was found
in the vaults of the bank.

CoRBETT WILL WIN.
That Is the Opinion of the Hon. John
L. Sullivan.

u. sullivan.
Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-John L. Sulli-
van arrived in Philadelphia today. He
will be rendered a benefit tomorrow night
at the Quaker City Athletic club. when
he will appear in a four-round bout with
Paddy Ryan, his first opponent for the
championship. When asked for his
opinion on the coming fight between
Corbett and FitZsimmons he said:
Il certainly think Corbett will win, for
he is a level-headed chap, and has had
lots of experience. He has improved a
lot since he fought me in New Orleans,
and even at that time he was a wonder.
Then he could not hit very hard, but he
has since developed his hitting powers
until now he is able to hold his end with
any of them Then again. ritz. is not
able to hold his end mn with a man who
is so long-headed as Corbett, and the
Australian is liable to go to pieces at
any stage of the game. If you have
noticed, Corbett has always shown great
cleverness in making matches, and l
will say that this one is no exception to
his general rule.
''Now-a-days. the public will stand far
more from fighter than IN my
day. When I was champion. the public
demSeded that I should fight whenever
a candidate made his appearance But
lows have had two years cheap adver-
tiSing before getting down to business
To my mind Corbett was willing TO fight
at any time. but F'itZ- seemed TO have
courage TO a sticking point. He could
easily have eluded the authorities at Hot
Springs, but instead of that he purposely
had himself arrested. so as to have the
fight stopped He has never made any
efforts to get on a fight with Corbett and
don't believe he would go on with the
present match if ne had not been forced
to by the public
Sullivan will remain here until Thurs
day. when he will return to Gloucester
Mass, to appear with a vaudeville COM
pany.

which went back to the ce-president's
table.
OTHER BILLS.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was received from the house and was
referred to the committee on appropria-
tions.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up and partly read. The reading
was interrupted by motion to proceed
to the consideration of executive busi-
ness which was agreed to and at 3:45
the galleries were cleared and the doors
closed.
The doors were reopened at Ais and
legislative business resumed. Senate
bill for promoting Captain William
U. S. A, retired list, to the
rank of major, was passed.
The bankruptcy bill was taken up
and Mr.. Hoar, (Rep. Mass), in charge
of it explained and advocated it. He
estimated the number of bankrupts in
the United States at half a million. He
it would be a great pity if that
half million of bankrupts were to have
to go on in sorrow and despair for the
rest of their lives because congress had
which would accomplish a result de-
sired by every humane man.
In the course of his explanation of
the substitute reported from the judi
ciary committee Mr.. Hoar said that
the voluntary" provisions of the bill
could be resorted to by farmers, wage
and such persons, while the
involuntary" proceedings would apply
to merchants, traders and manufactur-
ers.
Without action on the bill the senate
at $50 p. m. adjourned until tomor-
row.

DEMAS 4ND THE
PLANTERS.


Demas, the sable senator from St.
John, has received his commission,
qualified and taken possession OF
the Naval Office. On his return
from Washington he was received
by motley crowd of negroes and
whites and congratulations were
offered the conquering hero, who
has been placed by the president of
these great United States at the
head of the Louisiana Republican
party.
Demas made one of hiss charac-
teristic speeches and touched slight
ly on the conduct of what he called
''those treacherous sugar teats" who
had tried to stab their noble leaders
in the back. He denied the right
of these men, who he said had be-
trayed their party for a mess of pot
tage in the hope of getting nearer
the pie counter, to put themselves
up as judges of his political worth,
and classified them as strictly Repub-
licans for revenue only. He hit his
white party associates-thc= =lordly
we-are- -better-than thou sugar
teats-''a comm and gwin'" and
told his admirers that the powers
at Washington now know who were
''the people" in this neck of the
woods.
The charcoal statesman also ,n-
timated that the planters would
soon discover who was boss and
would be forced to bow their
naughty heads, if they desired to
cling to the g. o. p.
While even the most stony.
hearted feel for the serespectables''
in their great humiliation and dis
tress. they have brought the shame
and sorrow on themselves, but il
they keep the faith they must bow
Ind worship the black cat. And
II they are true and loyal Republi-
cans they will hail their chieftain
anu greet him with respect

The Times-Democrat is being
condemned in some quarters for
publishing the facts Of the yellow
fever cases in New Orleans. In
giving the facts to the world the
T ID. is not only doing its duty to
the people of the entire State, but
is also doing more for the city of
New Orleans than could be done by
pursuing a different course. The
people in the country as rule are
disinclined to believe the statements
Of the New Orleans papers relative
to this matter, but the honest and
Straightforward course of the I'D.
in publishing the news without
varnish is securing the confidence
of the people and the paper is help
ing its own city in doing so. OF
course the few selfish and narrow
minded business men of the Cres-
cent City object to the facts being
given to the world, but the reason
able and sensible ones surely see
the correctness of the position
taken by this great morning daily.
The paper cannot lose anything by
continuing such a course. = Iber-

In the ahl OF Mr.. E. b.
Krattschnitt. Mr.. G. II. Parker,
vice-president Of the Democratic
State Central Comnittee. has called
that body to aaeet on Oct. S. The
meeting Of the committee was to
take place in New Orleans, but
owing to quarantine regulations it
was thought preferable to hold it
in Alexandria, which place, 1t is
hoped, members will be able to
reach. Judging from all Indications
The Gazette believes it will be i'm
possible to have a meeting of the
committee any where in the State.
Members of the committee will
have sweet time in reaching Alex
andria,. or any other point if the
quarantine regulations are not very
much modified. Unless there is
an early and favorable change, the
constitutional convention will be q
rather tame affair. The election
for delegates is to be held some
time in January and if yellow fever
becomes epidemic in New Orleans,
quarantine thoroughout the State
will be 50 strict that it will interfere
with it.

Electric BitterS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season but perhaps
more generally needed when the
languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and sluggish
and the need of a tonic and altera-
tive is felt. A prompt use of this
medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No
medicine will act mo,e surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Head

Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters.
