Carson City, New. Feb. 5.-The dis
patch from San Francisco announcing
that United States Judge Mckenna
and Others had declared that the fed
eral government had no right to in
terfere and prevent the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons fight in Nevada has caused
great rejoicing here. Nothing now
stands between Carson and the great
pugilistic event that will bring thod-
sands of visitors and thousands OF
dollars to the city. Virginia City is
putting in strong bid for the fight,
offering $4,000 cash, but the fighters
will not consent TO fight at such
great elevation. The bill introduced
by Senator Mills to reduce the rate of
admission will probably never be call
ed up. Orders for quarters in the no
tells are coming in from all parts of
the country.

n A MONTREAL SENSATION.
Alleged Kidnaping of = Millionaire Real
Estate Dealer.


Montreal. Feb. 5.-A millionaire real
estate dealer from New Hampshire is
alleged to have been held a prisoner
in this city by couple who passed as
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton, of New York.
but who are said to be the Rev. and
Mrs. Richardson. Three months ago
the Richardson's rented a furnished
house in this city. With them when
they took possession of the house was
the man whom they are suspected of
having kidnapped. The police refused
to disclose the name Of this person.
but he is described as small. dark and
about so years Of age, and 1t Is alleg-
ed that he controlled immense inter-
ests In New Hampshire.
Richardson is. large, smoth shaven
and of clerical aspect. His wife is
medium sized, handsome woman of
about 50. The man they are alleged
to have in their keeping was, 1t is as
serted, constantly under the influence
Of powerful drug administered by
the Richardson's, who, while his will
power was broken by the drug, caused
him to sign checks for large sums of
money which they cashed. An agent of
the millionaire came here about two
weeks ago to find him. The police say
this agent saw the Richardson's, but
they had their victim well hidden and
told the agent that they did not know
anything about him.
The trio disappeared a few hours
before the detectives finally decided
to swoop down upon the house. The
detectives are divided In their opinion
as to where the mysterious trio have
gone. Some think they have gone to
England and others that they are still
hiding somewhere about Montreal. but
all fear that the Richardson's may do
away with their victim.

THE COLLECTORS STATEMENT.
he Did Not Wnfully Disobey Instructions
from Washington.

"
Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 5.-Collector
Bisbee, when shown the Washington
dispatch, made the following explana-
ton: THE Three Friends was allowed
to leave for New River on the author
lily of telegram signed by S. Wicke,
special treasury agent, which was re-
ceived on or about Jan. 28. This re-
quired the captain of the vessel to
make affadivit that he would not vio-
late any of the neutrality or naviga-
ton laws, also that the boat must
carry United States revenue officer.
These affidavits were made and for
warded to Washington, and on the
strength OF the telegram I allowed the
boat to leave with an officer from the
Boutwell, aboard.
Word was received early this week
from Washington that the atfidavits
were not satisfactory to the officers,
and that the boat must not leave. Dis
trict Attorney Clarke came to my Of
flee on Tuesday morning and said that
he wanted to libel the boat for piracy,
and at the same time he warned me
that | would not be protected in seiz-
ing it except on Instructions from the
authorities at Washington. He i'm
mediately sent message to Washing
ton, and when 1 returned from dinner
the same day l found telegram in
structing me to proceed under the di-
rectons of the district attorney. went
to seize the boat, but found it had left
a short time before under the permis-
sion that had been previously given.
The understanding was that the boat
was to be gone four days, more or less.
taking only what time as would be
needed to go to New River, perform
the service and return. This time will
not expire till Saturday"

A d;rrnt Revival nc FELTON,.

The town Of FELTON, has been in a fame
of revival religiously for five weeks. DIR.
Waddell, the pastor, has been laboring
night and day preaching and visiting from
house to house until the people have
sought religion by the scores. The town
has not witnessed such revival of religion
for many years. Old and hardened sinners,
have yielded to Gods spirit and received
| pardon. Young men anu young ladies
who have been fond Of dancing have been
reached and have been converted.
| Mrs Waddell has been q great power In
the meeting exerting personal influence
by personal appeals in the great congrega-
tion leading many to the altar of prayer.
Last spring she organized class OF young
men-into a Sunday school class who were
not in the habit of attending Church or
Sunday school and now rejoices in seeing
them converted,
Thepastor was told when he began the
revival effort that 1t would be almost inl-
possible TO have revival in FELTON, because
of the political differences which of lato
have disturbed the peace and quiet of the
people but with strong faith in the people
and confidence in God. DIR. Waddel went
on with his work until the altar Of the
church was crowded nightly with peni'
tents and scores OF souls have been con-
vertcd to God.
The Rev. c. A. Foster spent week
with our people during the revival render
ing efficient and acceptable work among
the people. His labors were highly ap-
preciated among us.
Our fourth quarterly conference unan-
imously requested the return of DIR.
Waddell for another year as ho has given
general satisfaction in the pulpit and
there is a general desire for his re.
turn among our people and congrega-
ton. q. II.

bow the Jacksonville Collector
Ignored Attorney General.
NOT INTENTIONAL D1soBEDIENoE.


Washington, Feb. 5.-Although in
structions We're sent to the officials
several days ago directing them to Ii
bel the Three Friends as a pirate, no
sQryice, so far as is known here, has
yet been secured. The failure to carry
out the instructions of the department
of justice in this matter is the subject
of comment among the officials and it
is not unlikely that it may result in an
investigation. The facts in the case
appear to be that several days ago the
collector at Jacksonville reported that
the captain Of the Three Friends had
asked permission to go on four days
Wrecking cruise, and the collector
asked for instructions. The treasury
officials replied that the request might
be granted, provided the vessel carried
an officer of the revenue cutter service
and subscribed an oath to the effect
that they would not violate the neu-
trality laws in any way.
Subsequently the collector again tel
egraphed that he had been directed by
the United States attorney to hold the
vessel until she could be libeled as a
pirate, and asking if he should do as
directed. A telegram was Immediately
returned instructing him do as asked
by, the United States attorney. The
collector, however, permitted her 10
leave port under the authority of the
first telegram. No satisfactory eXpla-
nation of this action has yet been re-
ceived. The wrecking absence period
granted TO the Three Friends expired
yesterday, but nothing has been heard
from her. 1t is thought probable, how
ever, that she will return, as agreed,
but if not it is believed the collector
will be called upon to explain his con-
duct. As soon as the vessel returns she
will be proceeded against as pirate
and the trial pushed to a speedy de-
termination

DENoUNclNG THE BUsYBoDlEs.
Senator Hill Vigorously AssaiIs Prohib-
itory Measure.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The session Of
tne senate yesterday was one of un-
L.dal activity, with sharp colloquies
and vigorous speeches, which drew
large crowds to the galleries. The ball
was set rolling early in the day, when
Mr.. Morrill, endeavored to pass the
bill prohibiting the use Of intoxicants
In the Capitol building. This aroused
the oposition of Mr. Hill. of New York,
who denounced the busybodies and
mischief makers inspiring this class
of legislation. The senator spoke for
the fullest enjoyment Of individual
liberty consistent with the common
good. The speech was not only no.
table for the vigor which Mr.. Hill
threw into 1t, but also for its effect In
prolonging the debate to o'clock
when the bill was displaced by the MIC
aragua canal bill.
The immigration bill was recon-
mited to conference, Mr.. Lodge, in
charge of the measure, adopting the
course as a result Of urgent appeals
for modification of the bill. Before
this was done, however, a warm per-
sonal and political colloquy occurred
on one hand, and Mr.. German on the
other. The Maryland senator took ex-
ception to recent suggestions of steam
ship and corporate influences and de-
clared there would be ample opportun-
tty within the next year for Republic
can senators to resist the corporate in
tluences at work after March 4.
The proceedings In the house were
very dull and almost entirely de-
void of public interest. The greater
portion of the day was devoted to the
District of Columbia appropriation bill.
The amendment to that bill to repeal
a law by which the court of claims
was engaged in passing on claims ag-
gregating $l,4O00O0 against the dis
trict during the Governor Shepherd
regime was adopted with practical
unanimity. A bill was passed grant
ing a pension of $50 per month to the
widow Of Major General Joseph r.
