Railroad Fares the Only Objection
Corbett-Fitzsimmon Fight.

Dallas. Tex, Jan. 30.-Dan A. Stuart
said. when informed that Governor Sadler
of Nevada had signed the bill licensing
glove contests, that the news did not sur
prise him. Mr.. Stuart said he was espe-
cially pleased with the feature of the bill

sically prepared for the contest in which
they were to engage. Mr.. Stuart said he
would start within the next three days
for Nevada. and as soon as possible make
his choice OF a town for the battle.
Railroad Rates worry Him.
Carson, New, Jan. 30.--News that Dan
Stuart had named Nevada as the place
where Corbett and Fitzsmmons Will meet
was received in a newspaper dispatch, but
1t seems to be generally believed here that
even now the match will not come to Me-
vada If the railroads do not make a ia
vorable rate. w. H. Wheelock is expected
to return to Carson tomorrow and to
throw little more light on the subject.
COrbett Ready to Train.
Chicago, Jan. 30.-February James ].
Corbett will close his present theatrical
season In Kansas City. and as fast as an
overland express can take him there, will
go to California. After a rest to remove
the effects of the journey. with four
trainers he will begin getting in condition
for the meeting with Fitzsimmons In Ne
vada, st. Patrick's day, very likely at
Carson City. Five weeks is the exact time
Corbett expects to train.

LOOKING INTO LEApvILLE,s STRIKE.


Leadville, Colo, Jan. 30.-The Legislative
strike investigation committee = Senator
Reuter- chairman. with Senator Gallagher
and Representatives Gardner. Annear and
Sechrist-began work today. The mine
managers and miners union were repre-
scented by two attorneys each.
P. Graham of the executive hoard OF
the Western Federation OF Miners testI-
fled as to the policy and workings of that
body. and repeated what had been told him
by local union officials and others since
his arrival here, December Is.
Mayor Nicholson testified as to rates
Of wages and agreements between the
managers and miners.
e. g. Dewar, secretary of the union,
was the last witness. His most important
statement was that George Campion,
manager Of several properties, told him
before the strike that unless the miners
forced an advance of wages in the mines
th9n paying $3.50 per day. the companies
he represented, which were paying 50,
would be compelled to cut wages. Dewar
said some Of the mine managers were no.
titled at s o'clock and the strike declared
at II D. m, June 10. The reason all mine
managers were not notified of the strike
was that the committee of notification
did not have time to see all of them.
The committee will hold sessions day
and night, expecting to finish Its work

Canton, O., Jan 30.-Major Mckinley

conferences Of Importance. but the gentle
men were rather reserved as to their ma

Among the early callers were ex-Sena-

General Coils Of New York had a con-

Ing. When asked If any talk had been
had regarding cabinet matters General
Coils declined to answer. He left with

CLEVELAND ADDRESSED MEDlcos


New York. JAM 2s.--The occasion OF the eel
ebration of the semi-centennial of the New
York Academy of Medicine at Carnegie hall
tonight was made auspicious by the presence
OF President Cleveland. The president in
yited to attend by Ut. joseph Y. Bryant, who
is president of the academy. and also Mr..
Cleveland's private physician
Carnegie hall taxed beyond Its capacity
by the doctors and their guests. The feature
of the entertainment was the address by Pres
ident Cleveland. which excited considerable
merriment and good feeling. Other addresses
were made by President Bryant. Doctors g..
P. Hurple of New York and DR.. Louis A.
Sayre.
President Cleveland spoke in part as follows:
II have anticipated the share assigned to
me on this occasion with considerable trepida-
ton for various reasons. I have been chiefly
disturbed, believe. because OF my inability to
discover satisfactory grounds for my right to
| join those who celebrate the semi-centennial
OF medical association.
IF In passing through that period In boy
hood when the desirable choice Of future ac-
tlvity seemed to rest between running away
from home to be sailor and staying at home
to be doctor, inclined toward the more quiet
and orderly of these pursuits, this surely fur
nshes no basis at this late day for a claim for
relationship to the medical fraternity
He spoke in a humorous vein of what the
medical profession owes to his class, who by
INDUCING all sorts of Irregularities allow the
doctors to make fat fees He then spoke of the
great progress that has been made in the prac-
tee OF medicine
Continuing the president paid tribute to
the old-time family doctor. Though ignorant
of many OF the remedies and appliances now in
use, the president said the old-time physician
supplied the deficiency by hard-headed judg-
ment, well observed experience and careful
nursing.
Continuing the president spoke of the steady
advance in medical science. and said the pub
lie would soon expect to the medical pro-
fesson destroy the origin of diseases and ulti-
mately usher in the day when 1.-THE only escape
from the world would be through passage
way marked old age exit "
The president said he hoped the advance In
medical science would continue and he proph-
esed there need be fear that Americas
contribution to splendid results would be de-
ficient.
President Cleveland closed by telling his
hearers that their duty to humanity does not
end with their pointing out evils that can only
be eliminated by proper legislation.
He said they must supplement their profess
sonal acts with their influence citizens and
not only suggest the proper laws for the pro-
lection Of public health, but see that such laws
passed and executed.

Farmer, LumbermHn, Legislator and
United States Senator.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 2S.-Private tele-
grams brought news OF the election OF
Henry Heitfeld Of this county as United
States senator to succeed Senator Du-
bois. The information quickly ran over
the town, and created a fiutter of ex-
element. Tt was received with general
approval and pleasure. as Mr.. Heltfeld
Is universally respected for his many ad-
mirable qualities, his sterling character
and sound judgment. He undoubtedly
owes his election to the fact that he was
democrat before he became populst.
In fact more people here would class
him as democrat now than as a popu-
list. He is conservative in his political
beliefs, and entertains none of the ad-
vanced Views of the extreme populsts.
His home is II miles from Lewiston,
where he has one of the best farms
and finest orchards In Idaho. AS pub
lie speaker he has fair ability, but he
impresses all who hea- nm with the
sensible way in which he states his ar
gument. So far as physique goes, he has
the making of senator. He Is six feet
tall, weighs $50 pounds, and is fine spec
linen of manhood.
Mr.. Heitfeld Is comparatively young
man. He was born in st. Louis Mo-,
January IL, 1859 In 1873 he removed with
his parents to Nemeha county, Neb.,
where he lived upon farm. He received
his education in the public schools OF
st. Louis and Kansas. In 1880 he came to
Pomeroy, WASH, and worked for a year
In planning mill. From there he went
to Sprague, and worked In the car shops.
After that he came to Lewiston, and
bought farm on the rlmrock, IL miles
from town. He has a section Of land
there, and is one Of the county's most
successful farmers.
In 1884 he married Miss Annie Jacobs.
They have five children living and one
dead
