A CHANCE FOR coRBETT.
May Go Against Choynski for a
Purse of $4,000.


San Francisco, May 1O.-Information
reached the city last night that points
to the probability of a match between
Corbett and Choynski. The reason for
Parson Davies mysterious visit to the
east is thus made apparent. He went
TO arrange a match between Corbett
and Choynski. to be fought in this city
in the fall The Sparson took the trip
in the interest OF the National Sport
ing club and the officers of that organi-
zation have received information that
leads them to confidently expect that
the match will be made.
Davies has urged FitzsimmOns TO
bring about this result, knowing that
if Fitzsimmons announced to Corbett
that he would fight him after the eX-
champion had beaten Choynslki, Jim
would probably go in for the battle.
Fitzsimmons. it is believed, is lend
ing himself to this project. Chovnski
is perfectly willing to fight Corbett for
any amount. The only trouble in hringz
ing about the match has been with ths
latter.
If the. bout comes off, it will be a 20
round go for a purse of 10000. All the
National people are jubilant over the
outlook.
The California Athletic club an
nounces a programme for the 31st inAt
at Woodward's pavilion, the principf l
attraction being a 15-round go between
Slavin and Joe Butler of Philadelphia
1t was at first intended to put Slavin
up against "Thunderbolt" Smith, but
Smith did not seem anxious for the
match.

New York, May 10.-The 20-round
bout between Joe Choynski of Cali
fornia and Denver Ed Smith tonight
was cut short by Referee Roche, who
stopped the bout after two minutes and
eight seconds of fighting in the fourth
round.
Smith frequently tried to hold Choyn-
skis hand during the first three rounds
and was roundly Missed for doing so.
ChoynsSi had an easy task. for he
knocked Smith down in the first round,
and the Denver man took nearly the
full ten seconds in getting TO his feet
Joe was always ready with left Jabs
and he sent them in on Smiths face re-
peatedly at the close of the third round.
Smiths face was badly punished and
the blood trickIed over Choynski's- body
during the-clinches.
The foul tactics of Smith in the
fourth round made Referee Roche eau
ton him. Finally Smith clinched and
refused to break away, acting like one
bereft of his senses. The referee shout
ed to him, but all to no use. Smith
would not break away and kept rub
bing his head into Choynski's face.
covering the Californian with his blood.
AS soon as the referee succeeded in
getting them separated he sent them
to their corners and stopped the bout.
He awarded the fight to Choynski and
there were mingled cheers and groanS
from all over the house. Time of round,
two minutes and three seconds. Choyn-
ski was the favorite in the betting at
odds of to 5.
Choynsbi was seconded by Tom Shar
key, Parson Davies, George Ross and
Bob Armstrong; Smith by Peter Ma
her, Pete Burns, Buck Connolly, Dock
Colyer and Jack Quinn.
Choynski weighed It's pounds and
Smith was but a few pounds heavier.

New York, May 10.-It was grue-
some sight on the Mallory steamer Lee
ona today Thirteen bodies blackened
by fire and smoke, were lying in the
steamers Storage The men and wom-
en- on deck looked as though they had
passed through an awful ordeal. No
body was allowed to either leave or
board the vessel until after the coro-
ner viewed and gave permission for
removal. Coroner Hoeber, as q mat
ter Of form, placed Captain Wilder I'M

tody of Mr.. Mallory.
Thomas Doyle, aged 81, of Patterson,
N. j., who was on his way TO Vallejo.
Cal, to see his uncle and aunt, Will
be detained until the inquest. Doyle
was among the steerege passengers
who occupied hunks on the starboard
side of the vessel. He said among the
passengers who could speak English
was young Irish girl, Lizzie Sullivan,
on her way to Los Angeles, Cal. Doyle
stated he was lying asleep early Sun
day morning, VIXEN awakened by Z
suffocating feeling. The apartment was
filed with smoke. He made for the
companionway leading to the upper
deck. AT the entrance of the cOmpan-
ionway the steward was shouting.
Doyle started up and found that two

started up again was assisted by some
one from behind who pushed him up.
On reaching the deck Doyle says his
first thought was for Lizzie Sullivan.
He started into the women's side of the
steerage to rescue her, but was pulled
back by members of the crew. The
crew worked like beavers to put out
the flames. Matches, burlaps, etc,
which caught fire. Doyle says, were
stored only a short distance from the
steerlge apartments.
Samuel d. Schillerant. from Hunt
mary. on his way TO settle at Column

Many lives might have been saved
if the crew had done anything to help
the smotharing passengers
SchilleraAt says the general impress
sion YVES that the fire was caused by
a lighted match dropped into the cargo.
He declares he saw members of the
crew smoking and they were very care
less throwing away matches. Along
the shore today it was thought strange
the fire was not discovered earlier. 1t
must have been smouIderinG several

OFFICERS MEET.
Western Traffic Association Considers
the Agreement on Rates.


the Agreement on Rates.
Chicago, May 10.-The executive Off
GERS of the western roads met today
for the purpose of reconsidering the
agreement of the Western Joint Traf-
fic association. The agreement on
freight traffic which the western roads
have had for some weeks has not been
a success in maintaining rates. but it
is now the intention of the executive
officers to have a final agreement. The
chances are that an agreement will be
adopted which will be effective in the
maintenance of rates. The rates to the
meeting of the society of Christian En-
deavor at San Francisco have been
finally settled.
All the roads that were not represented
at the meeting held in this city last
week have recorded their votes in the
affirmative, and the decision which was
declared provisional at the close of the
meeting is now said to be in full eff
feet. The plan provides that one-way
rates shall be made in both directions.

rate from St. Louis S23.50.
No west bound rates Will be made

Italy Will Not Retaliate.

Rome, May 2O.-In the chamber of
deputies today the minister of finance
Senior Luzzatt;, replying to Count Delta
Rocca, said it would be a serious error
to retaliate against the United States,
since the Dingley bill permits new con-
vention.
Italy, the minister added, will open new
negotiations to protect her exports, which
include all her products. Tobacco and
petroleum, he explained, were taxed 400
per cent. and as the stock necessary for
the manufacture of tobacco is bought
by the government it would not be prac-
teal to increase the duties upon the i'm
ports. They must await the action of
other countries whose commerce with
the United States is more important. In
spite of the tariff, Senior LuzZatti con
tinued, Italy's commerce may increase
and they. should wait for the results of
the experiment.

he recommends is that a special tax

of distilling, to be determined by the
capacity of the distilfery and that only
