Mr.. BISBEE'S REFUSAL.
WHY He REFUSED TO MAKE AN
AFFIDAVIT.
It Was Because the Treasury Ofici-
ais, He Says, Wanted Him to
Swear Not to Do Acts That Were
Perfectly Legal.

Jacksonville. Fla, March 1T. W. A.
Bisbee, the owner of the steamer
Dauntless. says that the report that he
had refused to make affidavit that the
Dauntless does not intend to violate
the neutrality or navigation laws is not
correct, and does him an injustice. He
says that he is perfectly willing to
make such affidavits or TO have an
officer remain on board the vessel on
towing and wrecking trips. The aft
davit wanted by the treasury depart
ment from Bishee requires him TO
swear that the vessel is not TO be
employed either alone or in connection
with other vessels to carry arms, am
munition, or men all of the way or part
of the way to Cuba, or to be a party,
directly or indirectly, to the transport
t2tion of arms or ammunition"
He bases his refusal to sign such an
affidavit upon the decision of the
United States court, which has de-
clared that il is not against the law
to carry munitions of war to Cuba,
provided no BODY of men is carried on
the vessel at the time.
Today Mr. Bisbee viii apply to the
collector of customs for clearance pa
pers for his vessel to carry a cargo of
munitions of war 10 a Cuban port If
he is refused clearance he will then
enter a new suit for heavy damages
against the collector. He already has
ore suit pressing against the collector
for $50, 900 damages for refusing TO clear
the vessel either with or without cargo

RADICAL CHANGES.
They Are Proposed by the Seventh
Day Adventists.

Day Adventists.
Lincoln, Neb., March 1.-The worlds
conference of Seventh Day Adventists
today began action looking TO radical
changes in church government and
administration. Among these are a
division of the general conference into
three parts, with a president over each.
and several other changes along this
line, the idea being to guard against
the Capitalization of power.
There is also a movement on foot to
transpOse the central college at Battle
Creek. Mich, into an American medical
missionary college
A request has been made of the gov
erning board for the head of one OF
the colleges to remove to Mexico and
become proficient in the language, and
occupy the position rendered Of being
one of the convention to revise the
present translation of the Bible in
Spanish. which is under consideration
by the American Bible society of some
other like organization The question.
too, of who shall occupy the positions
of heads of these three grand divisions
into which the general work is contem-
plated being divided, is revolving itself
in the minds of many Of the delegates
and they are awaiting the report OF
the nominating committee with much
interest.

BETTING IN NEW YORK.
Corbott is a Strong Favorite in the
Metropolis.

New York, March 1.-The betting on
the big fight in this city yesterday
was s.. 900 to 500 on Corbett. This was
caused by the large Corbett stakes
which was sent out on Tuesday
by two well-known gambling syndi-
Gates. as well as the large number of
track followers and handicappers who
came TO town in consequence of the
temporary closing of the outlaw tracks
in Maryland, who licked up all the
Fitzsimmons money in sight at 10 to 8
and 100 to rs and forced the price back
to where it opened-s100 to S70-when
Corbett and Fitzsimmons signed ar
ticles some weeks ago.
The only large bets that were made
were those by Jake Shipsey and Teddy
Foley with 1. Poppenhein of $1,000 to
$500 each on Corbett- Many 500 and
$50 bets were made-in fact, they were
made so freely that it was impossible
to keep trace of them. Eddie Kearney
jr. has received $4,000 on commission
from San Francisco to be wagered on

SERMON BY PHONE.
Interesting Experience of the Mem
bers of the New York Coast
Guard on Sunday Last.

bers of the New York Coast
Guard on Sunday Last.
New York. March 1.-The members
of the coast guard along the Jersey
shore enjoyed a double novelty yester-
day. They attended divine services,
and that without leaving their stations.
And each station heard the same ser
mon.
Mr.. Shermer had long wished to
reach the life savers and last week he
thought out a plan. He knew that
every two of the life saving stations
were connected by telephone, and that
messages were transmitted all along
the coast, being repeated at every other
station.
The clergyman communicated his
Project to Keeper Ludlam of the Stone
Harbor station, who said the idea was
feasible in a way-that was, the ser
mon could be repeated from every
other station, but there was no way,
just now, of making direct connection
all the way through.
The matter was explained to the life
savers, who entered into the spirit OF
it and agreed to send the sermon
along. both uD and down the coast.
Accordingly, Mr.. Shermer and his dea-
cons went to Stone Harbor yesterday
and the plan was put into successful
opera ton. AT the first repeating sta
ton, either way, a guard stood at the
telephone and received the sermon by
sentences. He repeated what was said
by Mr. Shermer aloud to his fellows.
One of them, standing at another tele-
phone took up his discourse and passed
it along to the next little crowd of
listeners, and thus several hundred
men heard the preachers words

JACKsoN's IDEA.
Colored Man of the Opinion Corbettt

New York, March Peter Jackson
is evidently nettled over the reports
prevailing in this country as to his
physical condition. In letter to Jack
Nail from Dudley, England, he writes
as follows:
Il thought I would write you a few
fines to let you know that I am still
on earth, and not a dead one, as some
of my enemies would make me out to

wreck, made so by drink. and a lot of
other stuff. Don't you believe a word
OF it. Today 1 never felt better in my

too much sense for that.
I suppose you are all excited in
the states over the coming contest be-

looks like a sure thing that they will
fight now, doesn't it? It also causes
quite lot of interest at London and
other ports of England. Corbett is
looked upon TO win here, and they are
backing him freely.

MAY GET A BELT.
Representative Dempsey is Quite an
Enthusiast

Carson, New, March lit is reported
on good authority that Assemblyman
Timothy Dempsey, who was one of the
most ardent supporters of the boxing
bill, is going to introduce a bill in the
state legislature, now in session, with
in the next few days, asking for an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the purpose
of having made a gorgeous belt of sill
yer, with diamond studding, to- be pre-
sented to either Corbett or FitZsim-
mons, whichever chances to be winner
of the great battle. The bill is being
drawn up at the present time, and IL
provides that the secretary of state
shall deliver the belt on the 18th of
March, along with a certificate and
affidavit notifying the world of the
significance of the trophy. 1t is in
tended to have on the belt reproduce
ton of the official seal of Nevada and
a fac smile of Governor Sadler's sig

already given his consent to sign the

and a half. passed the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill, carrying
items to the amount of 81. 444.66l. beinS
an excess of 81, 600. 600 over the bill as il
passed the house. Half of the amount
is to be paid out of the treasury, and
half out of the revenues of the District
of Columbia.
Then the naval appropriation bill was
taken up. 1t carries $S5. 72S,2S4, little
over three and q half millions more
than the bill contained when it left the
house. Two million and a half were
added for the purpose of establishing &
government armor factory.
The price of armor is proposed in an
amendment by the appropriation COM
mittee at $500 q ton. but a proposition
to make the average price $500 q ton
was made by Mr.. Chandler, (Rep. n.
