MARTIN lULlAN'S DEMAND.
Insists on Share OF Photograph Receipts
for Fitzs!mmons,

Insists on Share OF Photograph Receipts
for Fitzsimmons.
Carson, New, March 16.-Dan Stuart
fs UP against another snag in the per-
son of Martin Julian, who has demand
ed one-third of the receipts that may
come to Stuart from exhibiting the
photographs of the fight At the time
OF the signing of the articles of agree
ment Julian asked for a share of the
money that would accrue from this,
and he was told by Stuart that il any
bids were made for the right to take
pictures Of the fight Julian would be
given chance to be In on the returns
No bids have been made, however as
Stuart has been intending to take the
photographs with the machine which
belongs to him for the most part Ju-
liam demands that the receipts be
equally divided between Stuart, Corbett
and Fitzsmmons, and that unless this
is done Fitz will not fight until the
camera is taken from the arena.
When asked this morning concerning
the demand made by Julian, Stuart
said: There is one thing certain, and
that Is there will be fight between
Fitzsimmons and Corbett tomorrow. l
have not had any trouble with Julian,
and do not expect to have any There
are certain things governing this thing.
and If Julian is not willing to abide by
them he can pack his trunk and &C
home. That contingency will not arise,
however and am entirely safe in say
ing that any trouble 1 may have with
anybody will not prevent the fight COM
ing off. Julian will have his man in
that ring tomorrow forenoon if l do
not countermand my present arrange
ments, and ] have no intention Of
countermanding my arrangements"
The present program is to have the
great fight at as close to II a. m. as
possible. If the sun Is not favorable
to the taking of pictures the Smith
Green fight will be put on, and If con-
ditions to suit the photographer exist
at the end OF the first fight then the
big one will be called, though the sun
may be given second chance by put
ting in Flaherty and Hawkins before
Fitzsimmons and Corbett have been
called into the arena. No matter what
the conditions may be at the termna-
tion Of the Flaherty- Hawkins fight.
the event of the day will be called, and
the photographer must take his
chances. 1t is the present intention of
Stuart. weather permitting, to have all
the three fights in one day.
Both of the pugilsts did yesterday
the last work they will do before the
fight with the exception Of little road
work today for the purpose of keeping
their wind in good condition. Both of
them are in the finest kind of shape,
and both are equally confident of VIC

placed in command of the naval station
at San Juan de Porto Rico. So far the
department has no knowledge of the

quested that he be permitted TO retain
in service for time two or three civil

with the station. This has been
granted. II is the intention OF the de-
partment to send another naval officer
to relieve Admiral Schley to the COM

A new produet--a simple by-product
of the dairy is the manufacture OF
sizing to be used by the manufacturers
of paper, to put the glazing ON paper
OF fine quality. The practice heretofore
in accomplishing this purpose has been
to use a superior grade of glue with
other compounds, but it has now been
satisfactorily ascertained that much
better and cheaper sizing is obtained
from skim milk. So trustworthy is
the article in this application that o.
year contract is said to have been made
by one concern to furnish the liquid to
some large paper manufacturers. The
skim milk to be used in this way is
put in vat, treated with chemicals
and heated until curd is formed, the
curd then being washed, pressed and
conveyed to the headquarters plant,
where it is ground fine and put in a
large and improved drying kiln, where
it is dried in about twelve hours, then
bagged and Is ready for shipment. -Ex-
