CoRBETT BLUFFED HIM.
Nevada Jeweler Who Was Compelled
TO Shut Up.

Carson, New, Feb. 16.-Corbett's
presence in Carson has had the i'm
mediate effect of causing a revival in
betting This evening Frank Golden
a we'll known jeweler of Carson and
Virginia City, offered TO wager $500
that he could find backing for Fitz-
simmons to the extent of $4,000 or
even more within "a hours, Corbett
heard of the proposition and offered to
accept the wager.
Golden was inclined to funk. After
a heated argument Corbett offered 10
make the jeweler a present of 50 if
he would risk 500 even that Fitzsim-
mons would win. This wager Golden
accepted Then Jim became insistent
and wagered 5000 against 800, which
Golden also took up. after a conference
with Martin Julian. Corbett stepped
up to the hotel office counter where the
pair were conversing and offered to
bet Julien to a standstill. FitZsim-
mons manager repudiated any con-
nection with Golden and begged to be
excused. AS "a clincher, Corbett placed
800 on the counter which he offered
TO, hazard that Golden could not pro-
duce $1,000 with which to back Fitz-
simmons at even money within ten
days. Golden withdrew.

lating and making uniform the juris-
diction of the circuit courts of the

San Francisco, Feb. 16.-James j.
Corbett, while en- route to-his training
quarters in Nevada, was the recipient
of as many honors as a presidential
candidate.
At every little station between San
Francisco and Sacramento. as soon as
the train stopped at the depot, crowds
thronged around the sleeper and begged
for a sight of the great heavyweight.
Corbett was in excellent humor and
gratified the curiosity of his admirers
at every point.
His reception at Suisun was particu-
larly fiattering. The town band lined
up beside the car and played See, the
Conquering Hero Comes" and over
1000 spectators crowded about huge
bonfire and cheered the pride of the
mission
Corbett stepped to the platform,
warmly thanked his friends for their
loyalty; the crowd cheered again, an
wills were fired and the train pulled
out
At Sacramento, there was large and
enthusiastic crowd assembled at the
depot when the train pulled in, and
Corbett received an ovation which
lasted 20 minutes, the crowd cheering
and yelling like men gone mad.
Dan Stuart will meet Corbett at
Reno. and after short business chat
the great pugilistic promoter will jour
ney to San Francisco to complete
some important business arrangements
connected with the gambling end of
the great fighting carnival.
A sporting man who is very close to
Stuart said yesterday that until the
fighting manager can secure two first
class pugilists who will agree to do
battle TO a finish for a small purse,
which must not exceed $500, there will
not be .. second attraction.
Stuart figures that a second attrac-
ton Will not bring any more people
to Carson than the crowd that will be
REPRESENTED on the 18th of March to

quentlX. he is not very anxious to match
any of the champions unless they are
willing TO go in and SCRAP for the
honor and glory that may be attached
to win. Stuart may pull, off" live
bird trap shooting tournament. as
there will not be much expense at
tached to a scheme of this kind, and
gambling on the results will be heavy.

IDAHo'S SoLoNs GOT DOWN TO
BUSINESS.
Struggle of the Day Was Over the
Medical Bill-Idaho's Lawmakers
Will Visit Salt Lake.
fsneolal 10 The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Feb. 16.-Today was a
busy one in the legislature. The SEN
ate met at l o'clock and held until 6,
while the house INDUCED in an evening
session.
The senate passed the bill reducing
the number of regents of the university
from to 5.
The bill making an appropriation for
completion of the Little Salmon divi-
sion of the state wagon road was
killed.
The struggle of the day was over
the medical bill. 1t was passed along
to within a few lines of the end when
Davis, of Oneida, offered a section adj
ding a scale of fees to be charged by
doctors.
Ballantine of Ada and Turner of
Bingham, who had been steadily vot-
ing with the majority, indicated a will
lingness to consider the new PROPOSE
ton and the committee stopped. and
left the rest of the bill until morning.
In the house a bill was put through
the committee of the whole making
provision respecting the care of state
funds, the action of the body being
hurried by the failure of the Blackfoot
bank.
The bill establishing the office of
state mine inspector was passed.
Both houses voted to adjourn from
Saturday noon until Tuesday at 1
o'clock in order to permit the members
to accept an invitation to make trip
TO Salt Lake. Monday is a legal holt
day and the only time lost will be Sat
urday afternoon and Tuesday morning,

be held to make this UP.
The state funds bill provides that
the treasurer shall make call for
warrants whenever he has as much as
s., 900 on hand and all money belonging
in permanent funds shall be invested
at once in state warrants. The scare
here respecting the safety of state
funds led the governor TO demand a
count of money in the Capital State
bank. in which the bulk of the money
is deposited The deposit amounted to
$50 600 and more than $4,000 was found
in the vaults of the bank.

CoRBETT WILL WIN.
That Is the Opinion of the Hon. John
L. Sullivan.

u. sullivan.
Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-John L. Sulli-
van arrived in Philadelphia today. He
will be rendered a benefit tomorrow night
at the Quaker City Athletic club. when
he will appear in a four-round bout with
Paddy Ryan, his first opponent for the
championship. When asked for his
opinion on the coming fight between
Corbett and FitZsimmons he said:
Il certainly think Corbett will win, for
he is a level-headed chap, and has had
lots of experience. He has improved a
lot since he fought me in New Orleans,
and even at that time he was a wonder.
Then he could not hit very hard, but he
has since developed his hitting powers
until now he is able to hold his end with
any of them Then again. ritz. is not
able to hold his end mn with a man who
is so long-headed as Corbett, and the
Australian is liable to go to pieces at
any stage of the game. If you have
noticed, Corbett has always shown great
cleverness in making matches, and l
will say that this one is no exception to
his general rule.
Nowadays. the public will stand far
more from fighter than IN my
day. When I was champion. the public
demSeded that I should fight whenever
a candidate made his appearance But
lows have had two years cheap adver-
Using before getting down to business
To my mind Corbett was willing TO fight
at any time. but F'itZ- seemed TO have
courage TO a sticking point. He could
easily have eluded the authorities at Hot
Springs, but instead of that he purposely
had himself arrested. so as to have the
fight stopped He has never made any
efforts to get on a fight with Corbett and
don't believe he would go on with the
present match if ne had not been forced
to by the public
Sullivan will remain here until Thurs
day. when he will return to Gloucester
Mass, to appear with a vaudeville COM
pany.

FITz AT LEADVILLE.
Will Stop at Glenwood Springs and
Then Come Here.

Then Come Here.
Leadville, Colo, Feb. 16-The Weston
Opera House was packed tonight to
see Fitzsimmons and his sparring part
ner, Dan Hickey, give an exhibition.
]. H. Shoemaker, representing Mar
tin Julian, had decided to give an ex-
hibition at Glenwood tomorrow night,
instead of making the long jump to
Salt Lake City without interruption.
Thursday night the party will arrive
at the latter place, where a perform
ance will be given, and from that point
a through trip will he made to Carson,
FitZsimmonS going Immediately into
training quarters.
F'itZsimmonS said tonight:
II find myself at an altitude of over
10000 feet above the level of the sea
and in possession of a slight cold, due
entirely, to the sudden changes of tenn
perature which 1 have passed through.
Apart from that 1 am as solid as a bell
and in perfect health.
Il would like to express myself re-
garding Mr.. Siler's intention to issue
the rules governing the fight ten days
tefore the contest. AS a matter of
fact the Marquis of Queensbury rules
governing contests are known to the
profession today and are understood,
ana IL IS my OPINION Inat any de-
parture from these rules could be best
set before the principals one day ahead
of the contest, so that there would be
no time to practice"
Fitz ran about mile as a test on
his lungs in the high altitude. When
he finished he was breathing heavily
in short but regular gasps. However,
inside of few minutes he had recov-
cred his natural respiration. He said:
Il consider this test ample evidence
that my lungs are in perfect condition
and that my body is ready for all
tests"

OTHER BILLS.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was received from the house and was
referred to the committee on appropria-
tions.
The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up and partly read. The reading
was interrupted by motion to proceed
to the consideration of executive bust
ness which was agreed to and at 3:45
the galleries were cleared and the doors
closed.
The doors were reopened at Ais and
legislative business resumed. Senate
bill for promoting Captain William
U. S. A, retired list, to the
rank of major, was passed.
The bankruptcy bill was taken up
and Mr.. Hoar, (Rep. Mass), in charge
of it explained and advocated it. He
estimated the number of bankrupts in
the United States at half a million. He
it would be a great pity if that
half million of bankrupts were to have
to go on in sorrow and despair for the
rest of their lives because congress had
which would accomplish a result de-
sired by every humane man.
In the course of his explanation of
the substitute reported from the judi
ciary committee Mr.. Hoar said that
the voluntary" provisions of the bill
could be resorted to by farmers, wage
and such persons, while the
involuntary" proceedings would apply
to merchants, traders and manufactur-
ers.
Without action on the bill the senate
at $50 p. m. adjourned until tomor-
row.
