Tho entire history OF the various attempts Il

Issue his instructions to the principals at once
we are in for any ything." said Delaney this
morning, "and there Is no reason why the ref.
erce's instructions and interpretations Of the
rules should not be made public at once. An
other slump like that ut Hot Springs would not
be tolerated. and we don't intend that there shall
be any obstacle in the way OF pulling OIL this
nght.
Isn't 1t strange that Fitzslmnons should
come out so emphatic against having the condi-
tions made known until two days before time Is
called There may he nothing In this excessive
caution Of his, and yet there may bo something
behind 10 all that might seriously interfere with
everything. II ho Is going TO bubble and

the matter, IL IL can be righted so as TO have
everything In readiness 10 go with the battle.
A man who got out OF fight at one time by
giving himself up to the authorities might try
TO escape an encounter at another by quibblc
over the rules. Jim wants everything right, and
whatever Siler's instructions are they will DO
satisfactory TO all OF u.s."
Siler had u long talk with Corbott yesterday,
having driven over TO the Springs after being
closetcd with Fitzsimmons at Cook Is ranch. Tho
conference was about the Instructions, and 1t
was Ser who informed Corbctt Of FftZsinl-
monss wish that the instructions be kept sewed
up until forty.eight hours before the fight. Cor
oett could not fathom Bob's motives, and during
the handball exercise that took place after Siler
left the Springs his mind was wrestling with tho
Oornishmans plans. He tried to discover mo-
tive. but could not, and after supper he talked
the matter over with his two trainers. Jim WAS
not so anxious for prccpitating the referees in
structions as were White and Delaney.
There is no sound reason. said White. why
siler should not issue his instructions at once.
II Fitz is in earnest about fighting, and I
have no doubt that he really intends to be In the
ring on st. Patrick's Day, he should not object
10 the instructions being given out aweck before
the battle. We don't object. and why should he .

Corbctt listened attcntivoly to the advice Of
HIS leutcnants, and decided to send word TO
Siler to give out the Instructions. Delaney came
10 town this morning for that purpose. but as
he left word for him. silcr was not surprised at
structions he said that he would call on Fitz-
simmons and let him know OF Corbetts desire.
