ChOynski Appears Anxious to
Fight COrbett.
Tells of Their Contest on an
Ocean Barge.
APPEARS CONFIDENT.
Thinks That He Should Have a
Go With FitZ.
Has Backing to Post a Match
With Either.

New York, May 81 would very
much like TO be set right with the pub
lie on one point, said Joe Choynski, to
reporter last evening. The general i'm
preston is that I have been defeate
three times by COrbett. He has so sta
ted ON many occasions, and il has been
so published in his record. will wager
any part of $4,000 that Corbett fought
me only once for prize money and for
blood.
That was when we met on barge off
Benecla, Cal, one morning at o'clock
We fought for 81 600 a side. COrbett
wore twO-Ounce gloves, and a spectator
loaned me a pair Of ordinary kid gloves.
winch were no protection for my hands
l was practically green hand al fight
ing then, while COFbett had been at it
with some of the best men on the coast.
He pounded me 50 hard in the early
rounds that both of my eyes were clos
ed Later 1 had to literally open one
eye with my hand to see where to hit
him 1t is a fact, and 1 wish you would
quote me. that at the end OF the fif
teenth round Corbett wanted TO quit.
and was driven out OF his corner by his
seconds. Poor Jack Dempsey was be
hind me, and wouldn't let me go in and
take a chance, else I could have finish
ed COrbett then. In the twenty seventh
round he hit me hard on the forehead
and knocked me down. I got up and
chung to the ropes, but the referee said
I had been down more than ten seconds
AS far as FiCzSimmOnS is concerned.
I believe that he should give another
chance to me, as the question of SUI
premacy between Us has never been
settled. It has been said of our five
round encounter at Boston a couple of
years ago that broke faith and punched
Fitzsimmons on the jaw, knocking him
down; that the bout was to have been
friendly. or. in other words a fake
I never faxed in my life and I believe
the sporting public have confidence in
me. When We arranged that match
wanted the winner to receive all, but
Fitz would not fight unless the purse
money was split in two equal parts We
were 10 fight eight rounds on the level
and in the third round I caught F'itz on
the jaw anu sent him TO the floor. Aft
er that he recovered. and I'll admit that
he knocked me down, or rather pushed
me down, in the last two rounds. The
police stopped the fight and il was call
ed a draw With such a result in view
then, I believe the public would like. to
see US fight it out. I'm ready at any
time to fight either of the men"

oHAPMAN,s DEFENSE
He Refused to Name the Senators
Who Bodied in Sugar.

Washington, May 19.-Now that Chap
man is in Jail it is interesting 10 recall
the facts which constitute his Offense
IN March, 1884, the house Of represen-
tatives passed the Wilson tariff bill It
put sugar, both raw and refined, on the
free list. When the bill reached the
senate on the goth of March it met the
opposition of a strong sugar trust lobby
demanding heavy discriminating duties
in the interest of that monopoly
The majority in the senate. like that
in the house. was committed by its
party platforms and otherwise TO the
principle on which sugar had been
placed on the free list. But a group of
majority senators deserted their party
and supported the demands OF the Su-
gar trust with what Mr.. Cleveland stig-
mauZed in a public document as per
6dy and dishOnor."
The uncertainty thus created as to
the ultimate result made sugar trust
stocks fuctuate greatly in price from
day TO day While the bill was pending
Senators had IL in their power to cause
the price of the shares to go I'D and
down at Will Some OF them seized the
opportunity and began specUIa ting in
the stocks that were thus dependent
upon their own votes.
The thing became a great scandal and
the senate ordered an investigation by
broker in the firm of Moore & SchIey.
through which some Of the sena tors had
done their specializing. He was sum
mOned before the committee as a wit
ness.
He admitted that he had operated"
for senators. but refused to say what
senators. He expressly declared that
he did not rest his refusal upon the only
/ legal ground OF excuse-namely: that
his answers might incriminate himself
but solely on his determination to
protect his clients"
In order that ne might have no ex-
cuse of ignorance the United States
statute which makes his refusal a Grim
mai oHense was shown to him and ne
read II in the committees presence
Then Senator Allen of the committee
read ii TO him again Thus fully in
sUructed as TO the law he still declined
TO answer Then Senator Allen of Ne
braska changed the question from a
general to specific one He named
each senator separately and asked as
10 each whether Chapman had bought
or sold stocks for him. AS to Senator
Brlce, Chapman answered in the mega
tive As 10 all others he refused to an
SWer at all.
For this obstinate and deliberate and
WeIl-lnformed refusal TO give informa-
ton necessary TO the publication Of the
senate and the vindication of its limo
cent members against damaging suspic-
ION, Chapman was tried in the criminal
courts, convicted and sentenced to 80
days in Jail
This is the offense. Havemeyer. and
Searles, who also refused to answer the
committees questions, are to be tried
on similar charges.
