CRAWLING, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY FEBRUARY H. 1897.
WILL FIGHT IN NEVADA.
The Corbett Fitzsimmons Contest
Very Proboble Now.


When the Nevada Legislature passed
an act last winter permitting the licensing
of boxing exhibitions In that State and
the Governor had promptly signed Il, Dan
Stuart Immediately announced that the
great encounter between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons would come off there on
March II. Dan Stuart has since an
nounced that the fight will positively come
off on that date.
There is general rejoicing among the
California sporting men over the news
that the Nevada Legislature has passed
the bill licensing glove contests. 1t is gen.
orally understood there that Dan Stuart
and other promoters of prize fights will
make their headquarters there and devote
their attention to pulling off big mills.
The first will be the bett-Fitzsimmons
affair. Hall, Maher, Choynski and other
big men will also be in demand. The well
terweight championship will at least have
a chance to be settled.
Both Corbett and Fitzsimmons are ex-
pressing themselves as well pleased over
the prospect of meeting in Nevada. They
will soon depart for that State and finish
training. Leading sporting men of the
country are confident that the fight will be
pulled off and that it will be the greatest
pugilistic contest the world has even seen.
Three Nevada towns are mentioned as
likely to be selected for the battle ground
Reno, Virginia City and Carson City.
But those who are known to be close to
Dan Stuart agree that Carson City will
be the place
Carson City, the capital of Nevada, is
at the extreme western part of the State.
II has population of about 5000, is
twenty-one miles south of Virginia City
and thirty-one miles south of Reno. 1t Is
more than 1900 miles from New York,
and an unlimited excursion ticket for the
railroad trip alone will cost the boxing
enthusiasts who journey from the East
more than $1,000. Two special trains will
leave Chicago, carrying more than 500
men who desire to see the fight.
Al Smith, who is aiding Stuart in ar
ranging this big fistic encounter, said:
Dan Stuart's expenses will be probably
40,O00-S15,000 for the purse, $4,000
for erecting the arena and $15, 900 for out
side matters. He will unquestionably
erect a building capable of seating 10000
persons. Supposing that half of that num-
Der attend, which seems certainty, his
gate receipts alone, besides what he will
receive from the railroads, will amount
to $l5O,OOO. at an average admission fee
of SIS. This will leave him a profit of
more than 100000. not counting his
profits from the kinetoscope." Peter
Maher will be matched to fight either
Choynski or Tom Sharkey.

PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT.
Shows Increase for January of Over
Fourteen Millions of Dollars.

Shows Increase for January of Over
Fourteen Millions of Dollars.
The statement of the public debt shows
the debt, less cash in the treasury on Jan.
81, to have been $1OO7, ,OOS,317. nm in
crease for the month of $14,07S, ,735. This
increase is accounted for by decrease
of nearly $13,000,000 in the cash on hand
The decrease in the cash is the result of
the redemption of $9,5S6.00O in matured
Pacific railroad bonds, which will be held
as a debt against the company. and the
interest payments for the month, which
amounted to SO, ,TG4, ,036. The debt proper,
Independent of the cash on hand, was in
creased during the month by S2.120,716.
which is chargeable to the increase in the
amount of national bank notes outstand-
ing.
The comparative statement of the Gov
ernment receipts and expenditures shows
the total receipts during January To have
been $24.316.9o4 and the expenditures
$50, ,269.3S0. This leaves a deficit for the
month of $5,952,395, and for the seven
months of the present fiscal year de-
felt of $43,S54, ,192. The deficit for the
same seven months of last year was $1S.-
GS6,3I1. The receipts from customs dur
ing the last month amounted 10 $11. .276..

with January, 1896. There was
also slight falling off in the receipts from

ket. The family pursued diversified farm
ing, having the dairy feature prominent
from the beginning, as well as that
of meat making. James was sent
to the XIIth General Assembly to
get the stock acts enacted, chang
ing the custom permitting stock to
run at large. He was reelected to the
XIIIth and XIVth General Assemblies,
being speaker of the House in the last AS
sembly in which he served. The code of
1873 was enacted while he presided. He
was elected to the XLIIId Congress dur
ing his last term in the House and was re-
elected to the XLIyth Congress. He re-
tired at the end of his second term to his
farm, when he was appointed by Gov.
Sherman, a member of the Railway Com
mission. After serving one year he re-
signed to take his seat In the XLVIIIth
Congress. At the end of this Congress he
again retired to his farm, when several
editors of county papers arranged with
him to write weekly letters for their pa
pers, which he has continued to do until
the present time.
In 1901 he was elected director of the
Iowa station and professor of agriculture
by the trustees of the Iowa Agricultural
College, position he has held up TO the
present time.

but he has given way to another Demo

Harmer, of Philadelphia. was elected in
1871, but he was out in 1875.
Another old member is Gen. Bingham,
of Philadelphia, who was elected in 1879,
two years later than Mr.. Reed. Benton
McMillin, of Tennessee, was elected in
1879. Joseph Cannon, of Illinois, was
elected in 1873; but he got into trouble
through lapsus linguae in stormy de-
bate in 1880 and failed to be returned for
the Fifty-second Congress.
Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, was
a member,of Congress back in 1S49, when
he was Speaker of the House. He and

SALVATION ARMY'S NOsLEwoRK
Thousands of New York's Homeless
Find Shelter In Its Buildings.

Thousands of New York's Homeless
Find Shelter In Its Buildings.
The number of men in New York City
who are without home and the neces-
sary means TO purchase food for them
selves, on account of lack of employ
ment, New York correspondent says, is
something appalling. With all its boasted
public and private charities, there are
thousands of human beings in the metrop-
oils who are to-day suffering the cruel
pangs of hunger. The Salvation Army
has been doing noble Christian work
among these homeless, penniess creatures
for the past two weeks, and it is no exag-
geration to say that were it not for the
grand work of Commander Booth-Tucker
and his corps of assistants the number of
deaths from hunger and cold would be
large.
Commander Booth-Tucker was in Chi
cago and there saw the great suffering
of the homeless because of the cold wealth
er. He offered all the buildings in the
control of the Salvation Army to the
Mayor of Chicago and his offer was ac-
cepted with thanks. Realizing that the
suffering among the poor of New York
must be infinitely greater, he telegraphed
to Mayor Strong the use of all the army
buildings and meeting places as a shelter
for those who needed II. Hundreds of the
city's homeless have .focked to the differ
ent shelters every night since. and after
spending night there are each given a
piece of bread and cup of coffee or
dish of soup. In six nights no fewer than
10000 men found accommodations, the
number running above 1900 on nights
when the cold was more severe. The army
efiicers extend hearty welcome to all,
irrespective of creed color or nationality,
and their only regret is that they have not
larger and better accommodations.

FRANCE WANTS A TREATY.

The European Republic Wishes to
Abolish Ware Possibility with Us.
The initiative taken by Great Britain
and this country relative to an arbitra-
tion treaty between them is closely follow
ed by France. Rather. indeed, France
claims the distinction of being the pioneer
In arbitration proceedings, for as long
ago as July, 1895, the minister of foreign
affairs, NJ. Handtaux, was desirous of
having treaty of arbitration established
between the great republic Of Europe and
the great republic of America. The af-
fair, however, never came to head.
Now, however, that treaty has been
arranged between Great Britain and the
United States, France is desirous for the
drafting of similar treaty with this
country. Her public men strongly advo-
cate il and ii is proposed by some of them
to Immediately bring the matter before
the Chamber of Deputies.
Let us hope that the matter may be
pushed TO a satisfactory conclusion so that
never may the sword be raised between
the chivalric French people and the re-
public here which they sacrificed lives and
wealth TO found.

A Surplus of Gold.

Just at the present time the treasury
of the United States is enjoying the novel
experience of being in possession of more
gold than it knows what to do with. The
total cash balance in the treasury at the
close of business Wednesday was $780,
92O,309, and of this amount no less than
$143,SS9,3S0 was in free gold, available
for current expenses, or to act as re-
serve to redeem the outstanding paper
money. This leaves in the treasury as
fund to be used for ordinary purposes only
$S6,O31, ,Ol0. This is far from being an
enormous sum when the extensive opera
tons of the Government are taken into
consideration. The treasury is running
behind still, and for the first month of the
year the excess of expenditures over re-
