olution adopted by the senate today,
asking the president to apply to the
courts for a DostDonement, there is no
doubt that it would have done so,
should the committee have failed to
make an acceptable offer. The senate
resolution. however, changes the situa-
ton. Attorney General McKenna will
soon begin the preparation of the nee
essary papers in the case, and will at
once ask the court to set q date for the
hearing of the argument, in support of
a motion for Do5tponement. The at
torney general has no doubt that the
motion will be granted upon the show
ing that he will be able to make.

BIG MEN WILL MEET.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons Will Not Inter
fere With Bob.

Milwaukee, Dec. 9.-It is almost a GER
tainty now that Robert Fitzsimmons,
the present champion pugilist of the
world, and J. ]. Corbett will meet in
the roped arena to again battle and de-
eide the question for all time. This fact
was gained by a representative of the
Evening Wisconsin after an interview
with Mrs. FitZSimmons, who is in this
city.
This is the first time Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons has given expression to her con-
Carson. Before the contest last March,
FitZsimmons promised his wife that he
would never enter the ring again with
out her consent. While Mrs. Fitzsim-
mons does not come out openly and
say there will be another battle, it can
be readily seen that she is not anxious
to put a block in the way of her hus-
band as regards his plans for the fu-
ture. In reply to a question put by the
reporter whether she would give her
consent, Mrs. F'itZsimmons replied:
well, really, that is a difficult ques-
ton to answer, but I will say 1 do not
care to stand in my husbands way,
and If he thinks it better to give Cor
bett another chance, l may change my
mind, but until l do. there is no pros
pect whatever of the two men meeting
and all this talk about matches being
arranged, ETC., is without the slightest
foundation
Notwithstanding an interview with
a representative Of an afternoon paper,
in which Mrs. FitZsimmons, wife of
the champion pugilist of the world, was
made to say that she would put no
block in the way of a match between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons, Mrs. F'itz-
simmons says that Fitzsimmons will
never enter the ring again with her
consent.
Rock Island, Ills, Dec. Sob Fitz-
simmons, in an interview here this af-
ternoon said the statement that his
wife, who is now in Milwaukee, had
consented to his entering the ring
again, provided he would first meet
Corbett. was untrue.
MY WIFE, said he, would never
have me fight under any consideration
know that, and what is the use in
trying to make out anything different.
Anyhow, even though she gave her
consent, 1 would not give Corbett an
other chance. AS ] have said many
times before, I am through prize
fighting. I won the championship and
I won it fairly. l have got enough.
Now the other fellows can fight it out
among themselves. L am doing well,
enjoying good health and am content
ed. l have got all the glory [ want +"

FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.

1t is equally we'll understood that for
the present there will be no effort to
take up financial legislation on the
floor Of the house. This is due mainly
to the fact that a strong impression
prevails among members of the house
that the committee on banking and
currency will not be able to reconcile
the many conflicting interests inside
the committee. These represent all
shades of the financial subject, and are
so much at variance that it is not ex-
pected a majority can be rallied for
any one proposition. Under such cir
cumstances, the purpose is to await
the action of the deadlock in that COM
mittee.
BROAD LINES.
When it becomes evident that the
committee on banking and currency is
at a standstill, then the ways and
means committee will frame a bill on
broad lines, calculated to meet the
present financial requirements. In the
meantime, the subject will be kept in
the background as much as possible.
OUT OF THE WAY.
Aside from the bankruptcy and ap-
preparation bills some emergency meas
ures, such as that relating to Boring
sea, introduced by Mr.. Hit, will have
a hearing, as they involve questions of
general policy and are unlikely to meet
with opposition. With these exceptions,
the disposition of the house leaders
will be to keep radical legislation to the
rear.

not for his occasional great spurts he
would seem lost to all consciousness.
Hale and Elkes are looming up as
dark horses. They are the freshest
men on the track, with the advantage
in favor of the Glen's Falls youth, who
still cuts a pace that the rest of the
bunch find it hard to keep up with.
He has had over 20 hours sleep since
the race started, and lots of speed is
left in him yet.

THREADS OF LIFE. BY Clara Sherwood Rollins
Boston: LaIhson Wolfe 4 Co.
In this cleverly told story several strong
characters are outlined and situations of
almost tragic pathos are developed. The
atmosphere of the book is one created by
the contact of brilliant minds. Out of an
apparently uncompromisng complexity of
relations the writer evolves a generally sat
lSfdctory conclusion.

WOMcn's Hats In Partisan Theaters
From the New York Tribune,

n. Blanc, the new project Of police in
Paris. has begun his administration by
the issue of a stringent ordinance against
women's high trimmed hats IN the par
quet and balcony seats Of the metropoli-
tan theaters. The rule does not apply to
women in the boxes. Curiously enough a
similar rule was enacted at the close of
the last century by the chief OF the Paris
ian police, whose name was not NJ. Blanc.
but NJ. Noir. The same edict debarred all
women except those of the aristocracy
from appearing in. theaters and places of
public resort with rouge ON their cheeks.

cause of the trouble is the pet bear that be-

the bear was his entrance on Sunday into
the second story of the lodging house and
restaurant occupied by Harry Sheppard. H
