for this is certain to affect the local market
and shoot the price on the Oornishman IN
TO even money or better. 1t would not be
surprising if Julian engineered the scheme
to down brakes. They don't make them
any sharper or smarter than this hand
some and smiling young brother-ln-law
and manager. He is familiar with all the
curves in the sporting world and never yet
bought gold brick.
But Firzsimmons' recalcitrance is not all
that is causing worry among the men who
are vitality interested in seeing the great
fight brought off without a jar. Dan
Stuart has not emerged from his room
now for ten days, and l have it on the best
OF authority tonight that he is a far
sicker man than the reports which have
issued from his chamber would indicate
When he went to bed it was announced
that the cause therefor was the return of
an old abdominal complaint, and that he
would be housed only for a day or two,
but it turns out that Dan had an out.and-
out attack of pneumonia as the result of
the Sudden change of climate. The at
mosphere of Carson Is extremely treacher-
Gus at this season of the year and nips a
tenderfoot entirely without warning.
Stuart weathered the attack nicely until
last night, when he had a relapse. Sew
eral doctors were called in hurriedly, and
for time it looked as though the popular
Texan would not survive to see the reaIi-
zation Of his scheme TO pull off the great
est priZe-fght of the century. But he is
the happy possessor of constitution of
iron, and he finally beat off the clammy
hand that sought to fasten itself on his
throat. To-day the doctors said he was
doing we'll and once more out of danger.
If anything serious should happen to
Stuart there is no telling what would be-
come of the prize-fght project. 1t would
be left on the hands of w. K. WheeIock
and Al Livingston.
This was rather busy day at the re-
spective training quarters of the big

gave neither principal any advantage
over the other and were fair to both. He
accepted them in their entirety and prom
ised faithfully to live up to them through:
out the fight.
Siler was getting along swimmingly.
Surely, thought he, the days of long
winded wrangles over rules and technical
tiles among fighters had happily gone by.
Then he ran against "Fitz" and his
dream Of love was over. The Cornishman
does not seem to be willing to vouchsale
any reasons In detail for his change of
front in regard TO the clinch-hitting rule,
and Siier processes to be somewhat at sea
on the matter himself. But l think
George knows more than he was willing
divulge tonight.
He and Fitzsimmons have had talk
and the latter must have unbosomed him
self to at least some extent. The fact that
they agreed 10 meet again tomorrow and
talk the matter over once more undoubt-
edly has something to do with Silers
present reticenCe. for he may have hopes
that Fitzsilnmons will withdraw his OBJ
jeotions and stand by the stereotyp ped
rules.
Now, this little story, when it becomes
public property, is certain to give rise to
rumors to the effect that "Fitz" is getting
frightened, and many will be the knowing
winks that will be exchanged. But I
would not advise anybody to take too
much stock in such a proposition. Fitz-
simmons is too sly fox TO come out sin
cerely and confess that he fears Corbett IN
any tactics or ring rules. Suppose he and
his friends wanted to curb the daily
growing tendency TO send Fitzsimmons
stock up in the betting. could better
scheme be adopted for bearing the market
than by creating an impression that the
Cornishman is growing chicken-hearted ?
The knowing ones who are going to risk
their money on Bob in this fight want to
get in on as short an end as possible, so as
10 improve their chances for big win
nings. They do not hail with delight the
news from New York that there is pre-
ponderance there of Fitzsimons money,

TO OPEN INDIAN LANDS.
A FONT of Order Leads to Warm
and Interesting Debate in
the Senate.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. 23.-No.
tice was given by Morrill, (Rl of Vermont
in the Senate to-day of his intention to
address the Senate on Thursday on
the resolution in reference to the inde-
pendence of Cuba.
After the routine morning business the
consideration of the Indian appropriation
bill was resumed-the question being a
point of order made yesterday by Villas
Cd of Wisconsin against the committee
amendment for apportionment of the Un-
compahgre Indian reservation. The dis
cussion took range beyond the parIia-
mentary limit of order and extended to
the question of valuable deposits of gll-
senite and ssphaltum on the lands of the
reservation in Utah, which Villas wanted
to have reserved by the Government.
His arg ument was replied to by Cannon
(R.) of Utah, who argued in favor of the
opening OF the reservation, which contains
over 1000. 900 acres of land. He said the
mineral lands were passing into the hands
OF a corporation or monopoly.
At the close of nearly two hours debate

Will enter that arena as a private citizen"
Fitz occupied himself with hammer and
saw to-day. He designed and helped to
build a small rubdown-room off the main
exercise hail. driving nails as neatly as he
fashions horseshoes. Roeber and Hickey
assisted in carrying around lumber and
patching up chinks through which cold
air crept In on the worker. The outdoor
track also received some attention.
Martin Julian arrived this morning
from San Francisco with q noted Chinese
chef who carries about a French name.
The Mongol Is said to be a marvel on
steaks and chops, and Judging by his first
workout this evening his ability has not
been ovcrrated. He was photographed in
sixteen different poses in as many min
utes after his arrival.
Fiizsimmons' old sparring partner,
Jack Steiner, will be here tomorrow to
assist the Cornishman.
Owing to McVey's continued illness
Corbett was not kept as busy to-day as he
wished. DR.. Pine, the robust Chicago
dentist who gave Corbett such an argu-
ment recently in the Windy City, will
reach Carson tomorrow afternoon and re-
main at Shaws Springs until March II.
Corbett will put on the mits with the
doctor every day and expects some lively
rallies. Jeffreys, the Los Angeles wonder
who stripped at 19S POUNDS in condition,
Is also expected from San Francisco to-
morrow. He will relieve Billy Woods OF
part of the heavy work and Corbett ex-
poets to find in him lively voungster
George Green, whose match with "Mys-
terlous" Billy Smith is now almost as

STANFORD Oakland F,ela d.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Feb.
23.-Arrangements are being made to hold
a field day on March 13 between the Stan
ford freshmen and the Oakland High
School. Track Manager Brown and
Charles Dole. captain OF the Varsity team,
are anxious to bring about such a meeting.
The plucky BOYS from the other side OF
the bay sent team to play the freshmen
a game OF football last year. Although
they did not win, they made good show
ing. The proposed field day would per-

is not in place yet, and this has had the
effect of causing him to delay pitching
into the heavIes: of his work.
81 am not afraid oflosing too much time"
said Fitzsimmons this afternoon. you
see am already in splendid fette and do
not require such a long spell of training
now as would be the case had l put off
exercising until reaching Nevada. All L
need is to Timber up and put few finish
ing touches on my bellows"
The stomach trouble which upset the
Cornishman so seriously Sunday has en-
| tirely disappeared and ne is now eating
voraciously. In fact, Host Cook says that
it has got down TO be q race between Bob
and his pet Great Dane Yarum as to which
can stow away the most grub. Fitzsim-
mons work to-day consisted of three
mile tramp over the snow-covered road
leading over the foothills south of the
ranch, couple of glove bouts with Dan
Hickey and a spell of wrestling with
Ernest Roeber. Fitzsimmons goes to bed
at night with the chickens aud is the first
one up in the morning. He is a sleeper
and he believes it is impossible for him 20
get too much.
There was another arrival at the ranch
this morning in the person of a Chinese
Chef whom Julian unearthed in San
Francisco and brought with him. Fitz-
simmons insisted upon having a chat
with the Celestial before he would accept
him into the household. First he wanted
to know if the cook was q highbinder.
Yep me Sam Yup man. replied the
Chinaman. with an expansive grin.
Sam Yup man, eh? Are the Sam Yups
all serappers
"You bet."
"Well, that's all right then. This is a
scrapper's camp, you know"
Then, after Fitzsimmons got assur-
ances from the newcomer that he could
cook rice ard rats to the queens taste, he
proclaimed him the boss of that depart
ment until st. Patrick's day.
Corbett continues to draw more visitors
to his quarters than does Fitzsimmons.
This is because of the superior condition
OF the road leading to Shaws Springs and
the fact that ii is a shorter trip than that
out to Cooks ranch. "Pompadour'' Jim
put in some heavy lIcks during the day.
wearing out all his trainers, but not once
showing any signs of fatigue himself
The manner in which Corbett is improv-
ing as re ards his ability TO endure work
is really surprising. One can scarcely
realize alter watching him as l did o-dav
go through an hour and a half OF the
fastest and most wearing kind OF exercise
without even putting percept bly,, that he
is the same individual who so com pletely
collapsed in the ring not long ago while
endeavoring to put Sharkey 10 sleep. He

SWEEPING OPINION.
Judge Foster Decided the Kansas
City Stock Yards Case.

Topeka, Kan. October 4.--Judgc Foster
today handed down his decision In the
he decided against the company on every
legal question raised. The opinion is very
sweeping and complete victory for the
attorney general. The company will appeal
to the supreme court.
The case grew out Of an act OF the legl>-
laturc Of this State reducing rates OF yard
age The purpose Of the stock yards peo-
pie was to prove that the present charge
were reasonable and the charges made by
the legislature ruinous. The yards lie In
both Kansas and Missouri. To the com
pany, which is the second largest in the
world. the result OF the case means thous-
ands, II not millions. OF dollars
