What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
As the bright young gentleman who
produces, occasionally, a column in
the Express, signed THE Gossipper"
has mistaken my discussion of city
affairs for a platform. and as there
possibly may be others as dull as the
young gentleman who occasionally
tanks up a column of so-called "gos-
sip" l will help them out.
My platform is so brief that it may
be disappointing even TO the bright
young man"
1st.-No more bond issues-at least
none for the next two years.
2nd.-The expenditures of the city
to be kept within possible income.
The assessment of property to be
revised so that homestead property
shall not be overtaXed and business
property undertaXed.
\ system of street repairs that will
put our streets in good condition and
keep them so.
4 system of street cleaning that can
be applied to the whole city.
The application of the savings from
our revenue to restore the sinking
fund TO redeem bonds.
The maintenance of our Credit-the
prompt payment Of all salaries and
wages due city employees.
The putting in operation of the sew
er system, to the extent of relieving
our river and bitches from sewerage
and giving time to householders on
the outskirts to connect.
Retrenchment in every department
of the city must be the watchword so
that the present budget will be cut
down 100000.
These few paragraphs can be taken
for the first dose and may not need
repetition.
1t is easy to make a platform, but
not so easy to explain it. "Short
Stops" explains the platform.

PRIZE FIGHT HOLIDAY IN CARSON.
Sunday Just the Same as Week Days
From Now On.

Carson, New, Feb. 2S-Work was con-
tinued as usual on Dan Stuart's big am
phitheater today. In fact very few resi-
dents seemed inclined to observe the Sab
bath.
1t was a sort of holiday in Carson. More
people were seen in the streets than usu-
al, and many stores, all the saloons and
gaming houses were open for business,
as on the other six days of the week.
Bob Fitzsimmons did not work at all
today. He spent a good part of the morn
ing writing letters to friends In Stuart's
headquarters, and then drove to the race
track to get look at the superstructure
of the arena in which he hopes to defeat
Jim Corbett.
Accompanied by Julian, Fitzsimmons
drove back to his quarters for dinner.
but the pair returned to town early in
the afternoon, and remained until sun
down. Julian announced that his man
would take no exercise today on account
of the funeral of Mrs. Julian in New
York city.
There was such a big crowd at Cor
belts headquarters that the services of
three barkeepers were required to salts
fly the demands for liquid refreshments.
During the morning the show in the
hand ball court, or at least that section
which is usually set apart for sight
seers, was uncomfortably crowded. and
the champion decided to station one of
his men at the door with instructions
not to allow more than 20 persons in the
court at one time.

coast who has been eager for several
days to put on the gloves with Corbett,

decidedly interesting to the spectators,
but the athlete will in all probability
stick to his own particular branch of
athletics in the future.
Dan Stuart gave out the following
statement today:
while much has been said for and
against the admission of ladies to the
amphitheater, I have studied the matter
in all of it's phases, and have been In
consultation with my attorneys and many
eminent men on the subject After mature
and careful consideration I have decided
to admit ladies under proper escort. To
that end have set aside section from
which ladies can view the contest with
all the privacy and comfort possible. Spe-
cial care will be taken to protect them.
1.-THE arena will be policed sufficiently
strong to guarantee absolute immunity
| from molestation to every one who at
tends. Those intending to witness the
| contest can rest assured this will be ac-
complished with as much comfort and Sc
curity as is accorded to patrons of play
| houses Rigid efforts will be made to ex-
clude anything bordering on rowdyism
( In carrying out these efforts will have
| the full support of the state, county and
municipal authorities. I am operating
under the laws of the state of Nevada.
have been offered and have awaited myself
of every protection under these laws. The
contests will be brought Off in an orderly
| and decorous manner. I have every rea-
son in the world to believe that these
will be creditable to a calling now under
an embargo Of Misrepresentation and
hypocrisy in America

MINE DISASTER AT zAcATECAs
No Longer Doubt That One Hundred
and Seventy Men Perished.

Mexico City, Feb. 2s.-The latest news from
the mine disaster at Zacatecas shows the ca
lamity is fully bad as first reported. Fire
broke out in the Zanamoro mine. the properties
of Zombetete company, and communicated to
the San Francisco mine. The principal shaft
in the former is $500 feet deep and the rescu-
ing party went down to the bottom but were
nearly suffocated by smoke. Cornish miners
displayed unusual heroism in attempting re-
lief of the imprisoned men. Ten bodies have
been taken out and all show signs of asphyx-
iation. There is no longer any doubt that 10
miners persisted. The city of Zacatecas is a
scene of mourning and CONSERVATION. This is
the greatest calamity during modern times.

Hanna u Shining MARK.
The ever increasing crowds of arrivals
contained many prominent visitors, and
the lobby of the Arlington hotel is flood
ed, and presents such an appearance as
it usually does preceding some important
public events
Mark Hanna was probably the most
sought after person In the group of poll
ticians. No less a figure was Russell A.
Alger. who is to be the next secretary
of war Others In the throng were Gov
ernor Bushnell of Ohio and his staff, who
reached the city during the afternoon;
Thomas c. Platt of New York, Senator
elect Spooner of Wisconsin, Senator Fair
banks of Indiana, Stuart L. Woodford
and General Sickles of New York
During the afternoon Hanna and Gov
ernor Bushnell accidentally met in the
lobby. Hanna had just returned from a
walk in the brisk air, when he noticed
the Bushnell group. AS he espied the
governor there was only an instant's hes
itation on his part. Then he walked
straight to the governor and stretching
out his hand, said:
Hello, governor! Glad to see YOU"
The governors response was equally as
cordial but there was an awkward mo-
ment on the part Of both before the next
word This was happily broken by Gen.
Samuel Thomas, an Ohio veteran, who
said to Governor Bushnell who Is your
friend?"
This bright sally broke the ice, and the
two leaders in Ohio politics talked pleas
antly on commonplace topics.
