be Stuart's profit out of the kaleidoscope
experiment, and he decided that If it was
successful $13, 600 would be little enough
for Fitzsim mons. Julian said he wanted
this amount in advance and in cash. Mr..
Stuart. while inclined to scorn the rotund
little managers proposition, abstained
from indulging in strong language. 1t
would not do, he argued to himself, to
have a row with Julian or Fitzsimmons at
this late stage of the game and jeopardize
the fight. He was quite conciliatory, and
invited Martin into the rear room Of his
headquarters for quiet little talk.
Just what transpired there nobody
knows, and neither Julian nor Stuart will
tell; but whatever it was it evidently was
10 Jufian's satisfaction, for he went away
wearing pleased expression and a tri-
umphant swagger. l am given to under
stand that Stuart, after explaining about
the contingency upon which hinged the
kaleidoscope privilege. promised to raise
Fitz5immons' allowance in case the pic
lures proved to be a success.
The heavy falling off of the Eastern
visitors to the fight is something that has
hurt Stuart's pocket seriously. When he
was making his plans for the arena he
was given reason to believe that at least
twenty special trainloads of sports would
set sail for Carson from such cities as
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Gin
cinnatI, New Orleans, Chicago, st. Louis
and Salt Lake City, and that these, joined
with the throngs that promised to come
from California and Oregon, would easily
make up crowd of at least 25, 900 specta-
tors. With such an attendance at the
prevailing rates of $40. $40 and $40 for ad-

son was nothing but dinner station and
that besides being buried beneath snow it
could not accommodate a hundred visit
ors, much less several thousand. They
had visions of tramping around all night
on seet- covered sidewalks, bedless and
hungry, and did not like the prospect.
They stayed away rather than take q
chance"
Madden does not know all. One of the
greatest injuries the big project received
(and this is admitted by Stuart himseIf)
was the publication of story to the effect
that Corbett ana Fitzsimmons met one
morning last week on a highway and in
dulged in quarrel for the particular ben
eft of an exclusive San Francisco Jour-
nal. The story itself was all right enough
because of its spectacular attributes, even
if it had been true, but what hurt Stuart
was the development that both Corbett
and Fitzsimmons accepted money for the
parts they played. This caused the sport
ing world to grow suspicious. They ex-
changed knowing winks and whispered
that ii Corbett and Fitzsimmons would
accept money for engaging IN a little
trick like that highway episode they could
be induced to engage in fake fight for q
proper sized sum.

quency with which big events of this
character have turned out tc be disap-
pointments. A story foated out from the
East at least month ago to the effect
that either Corbett or Fitzsimmons had
agreed to 'Iay down" at Carson for very
large sum OF money, but when this was
run down it did not reach any reliable
source. The rumor, however, did its dam

ing the fact that both men were training
harder than they ever had in their lives,
and that their bitterness toward each
other had grown apparently to tremend-
Gus proportions.
Now Dan Stuart feels the effects. Peo-
pie will not journey across the continent
to see a fight to which is attached the
slightest shadow of suspicion. This is
not saying that anything wrong has been
noticed in connection with the prelimina-
ries OF the fight of the century, and only
refer TO it as an illustration to show why
it is that Stuart's vast arena will not hold
the thousa ands tomorrow that he ex-
pected.
True to their promises neither Corbett
nor Fitzsimmons did any work to speak
of to-day. In fact the Cornishman made it
a complete holiday and did not take his
customary spin into town. After break
fast this morning he donned his working
clothes and heavy shoes, and in company
with two of his trainers went out for a
Jog on the road leading from Cooks ranch
TO the Nevada penitentiary. Here Fitz-
simmons put in half an hour frolicking

serve as Bob's seconds. Martin Jullan,
Of course, will 60 into the ring with Bob,
but it is understood that as soon as the
timekeepers are ready to sound the gong
Martin will retire and take seat beside
his sister, Mrs. Fitzsimmons.
It is not altogether settled tonight just
who will be in the corner with Corbett.
1t was thought several days ago that the
announced that his handlers in the ring
would be Charley White, the old reliable
Billy Delaney and big Jack McVey; but
since this decision was reached Professor
John Donaldson, who has served in Cor
belts corner in most of the Californian's 5
battles has arrived in Carson, and so has
Jim Carr of San Francisco. who was be-
hind the Olympic Club idol in his famous
barge fight with Joe Choynski.
Both OF these late arrivals are reckoned
as mascots for Corbett-they consider
themselves as such and so does Jim him
self. The limit to the mum ber .: seconds
allowed in the ring has been placed at
three. White and Delaney cannot be spared
and so it remains Tor the third choice to
be made between Donaldson, Carr and
McVey. The big wrestler is satisfied to
withdraw and the question is now whether
Donaldson or Carr will go along with Cor
bett to the ring.
In response to notice sent out by Dan
Stuart, William A. Brady, representing
Corbett, and Martin Julian. manager for
Fitzsimmo ons, met this evening at the big
Texans headquarters for the purpose OF
determining which corner of the ring the
respective fighters were entitled to. As is

up, the boxing gloves slowed away and
the hand ball court deserted. Just to
keep himself timber and to hold his wind
Jim went out on the road and took a jog
to within few hundred yards Of Carson.
This was repeated in the afternoon. The
conclusion of the latter performance was
a grand sprint for his trainlng quarters,
the big fellow covering . distance OF at
least quarter of mile.
"This is my last run, boys" he shouted
as he passed party Of friends driving in
from the springs.
Jim intends to take a half-mile run
early in the morning. This is scarcely
customary with pueilists on the morning
OF great battle; but Corbett has asserted
oil along that he Is differently constituted
from most fighters and requires differ
ent line of work. He says he has
always found it beneficial TO indulge in
sharp but not protracted sprint some
hours before entering the ring, and he
does not intend to diverge from the prac-
tice on this occasion.

been selected to act as master of cere-

then sped home. His run dio not take in
over three miles altogether. He termed 1t
simply little loosening up exercise, in
tending to keep his joints easy and wind
on tap. The rest of the day was con-
sumed in lounging about the ranch and
talking with the many visitors who went
out to have look at the man who hopes to
win the worlds cham pionship laure!s from
James J. Corbett Tomorrow.
The fact that only one day was left to
tell the tale of the great battle-one day
between Fltz and his future-had no ap-
parent effect on the temperament OF this
famous lanky fighter. To all appearance
he was S confident as ever OF the outcome
OF the meeting, and when talking OF to-
MORO WI event was careless and even flip
pant. He adhered to his old story that
the fight would be short and sweet. He
does not expect the fight to last over eight
rounds at the outside.
Fitzsimmons will do no work whatever
tomorrow morning with the exception OF
little jaunt of mile or so before break

and in company with Roeber. Steiner,

Cooperative Ranking for Farmers.

The American Agriculturist, of April

tire feasibility of cooperative banking

it says, "by slight notifications of the

had marvellous success. A report Civ

Land Credit association has been pub
lished by the department of state for

Agent Peters says with truth that
can never be questioned:
what American farmers require to re-
lieve them of the present financial strain
under which they are living is the power to
borrow at the lowest possible interest con-
sistent with their securities and the finan-
cial conditions in the great centers of the
world. So long as they must borrow from
the local money lender they must pay
high rate of interest for accommodation.
1t is this high rate of interest under which
our farmers are now striving and failing
that is responsible for the general unrest
and dissatisfaction. Remove the high rate
of interest, give them the same opportunity
TO use their credit as men engaged in other
business, exchange the present mortgage
on the farm for one with reasonable in
terest, which the farmer can pay and have
something left for the savings bank, and
We will restore happiness and prosperity.

Government Currencx.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through term of years,
and why it is inelastic, remaining al
most without change from season to
season, is that the security for it is a
deposit of government bonds. The
bank capital is iii the treasury instead
of in business. The profits on circula-
ton decline as the bonds increase in
value or the rate Of interest declines,
and the redemption process is slow and
ineffective. The dangers Of the gov

Can't Exnort Laws

No civilized country can confne its
citizens within its own territory or pro-
hibit all commercial intercourse with
other countries. Every country, there
fore, needs money which can be used in
purchase from and in payment of its
debts to other countries. Yet, howso-
ever absolute may be the power of its
government, its laws can have no ex-
tra-territorial effect. No government,
therefore, can prescribe the standard
by which its currency shall be valued in
any other country, or compel the citi-
zens Of another country to receive its
currency save at the bullion value of
that currency in the markets of the
world.

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While a government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute a legal tender in satisfaction of
contracts past and future, it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value of
it's money, for money is a commodity,
and its value is determined in the mar
kcts of the world under the laws Of
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, are stronger and more
far-reaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is eXchangeable at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the mar
kets of the world.

UnwarrRnted Government Interior
ence Prevents Easy Transition fro m
One Substance to Another.
Money is simply commodity that is
rally recognized as a universal
equivalent, and its degree of goodness
or efficiency consists III the unanimity
of the recognition of the fitness of the
commodity used as money to perform
the essential functions Of money. Many
commodities have been used as money.
and they have remained in use as long
as they met the essential requirements
of money among the people where used,
or until some other commodity APP
peared the fitness of which commended
itself to the intelligence as being su-
perior to the commodity then being
used.
Aspeople have advanced in discriminat-
ing intelligence they have discarded in
ferior commodities and adopted in place
thereof something that was superior;
these changes kept taking place until
finally gold and silver became the com
modities that were recognized by the
people of most countries as being the
best for use as money. Sociological
transition is constant. Change is the
natural order of things, and changes
come about naturally and are therefore
effected easily if the natural process is
allowed to go on undisturbed; troublous
friction ensues only when there is OBJ
structive governmental interference at
tempting to delay or defeat the natural
order of things.
In our own day the stage coach has
been supplanted by the steam railroad
and stage coaches have practically be-

dip was succeeded by lamps filled with
burning fluid or oil, and lamps by il

These and many other changes were
accomplished with no serious disturb
ance whatever, and so it would be with
commodities used as money in the alb
sence of governmental obstruction.
There would be no threatening money

gering the continuity and perpetuity
of all business activity, if the United
States was not engaged in the banking
business.
Among the civilized people the days

in subsidiary forms, are numbered, and

A New Financial system.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs TO our financial system, but for
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection, because its vol
ume and redeemablity will depend in
part upon the opinions of congress and
IN part upon the opinions Of the presi-
dent. No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain a sufficient reserve
for the redemption of the notes. If the
weight of pound and the length of
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value.
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business OF the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also in
the south and west, demand the with
drawal Of the government not es.-Iron
