FIGHTERS AT WORK.
00RBETT AND FITZ BOTH TRAIN
ING STEADY.
Handsome Jim Put in the Whole Day
At His Training While Fitz Only
Worked Part of the Time.

Carson, New. March 11.-Corbett did
not vary the routine of his training
today, but there was nothing in the
least resembling mOnOtOny in the eX-
ercise, for his men who were aiding
him in his work. He began the day
with ten mile trot over the fast
drying roads. He entered on the af-
ternOOn work at the wrist machine,
following it up with bag punching
and handball. He played five games
of handball with Joe COrbett and his
partner. The brothers were matched
against a pair of professionals who
had somewhat the better of the argu-
ment. Without a moments rest after
the Eandball game Jim dOnned
sweater and took on McVey for
wrestling bout. He then went with
Big" Jeffries into the arena and the
California giant had a decidedly I'M
pleasant three minutes experience
with the swift gloves of the cham
pion. Woods followed, the champion
taxing the strength of the pneumatic
headgear to the utmost. Joe COrbett
and McVey were then again taken on.
After n good rubbing down COrbett
was seen to be in excellent condition
and spirits and called from White
reiterance of the opinion that his man
could not possibly be in better shape
for the contest on March II.
Fitzsimmons started in this morn
ing by taking an eight mile run and
on his return to the ranch boxed with
Steiner and Pickey. A rundown fin
ished all the work of the morning.
Fitzsimmons was full of interest re-
garding the conference on rules which
is scheduled for late hour. He has
again declared he did not want any
hitting with one arm free and said
that Notwithstanding all that had
been said he did not consider it favor
able to his style of fighting. All he
wants, so he says, is fair play to both
parties.
The tramps commenced coming in n
week or so ago. At every station west
of Ogden there are from three to a
dozen. So far the trainmen have been
able to keep them from stealing rides,
but a few succeeded in reaching here.
A large crowd was at the depot on
the arrival of the mornings train, eX-
Meeting to see John L. Sullivan. He
did not come, however, and it is said
that he will not be here until Monday
of Tuesday.
Besides the pugilists and their train
ers and the score of newspaper men, |
there are perhaps not fifty strangers
in town. including half dozen wo-
men. who have come TO see the fight. |
The Legislature is still in session, do
ing little or nothing.and will doubtless
not ndjourn until Monday, as none of
the members intend going home until
after the 18th.
Bat MastersOn. who it is understood |
will have charge of the men who will
maintain order at the arena. will have
his force organized and in proper
shape in a day or two, to preserve the
1eace If their services are necessary.

ONE YEAR AGO.

THIs time last year there were
quite large number of delegates
to the st. Louis Convention, among
the members of our race, shouting
for the nomination of Major Nc
Kinley. The administration is al
most three months old, and we have
not heard of a solitary one of those
delegates receiving any appointment
from the President. Does not Pres
ident Mckinley believe in reci-
procity? We do.-CoLOred Amer
icaa.
Is it not a lamentable fact, Mr..
Colored American, that all the
members of our race who were dele
gates to that great negro hating
convention, received a monetary
consideration for voting and shout
ing for the nomination of Major
McKinleyf And is it not a noto-
rious fact that Mark McHanna
bought number of those gentle
men for the small sum of FIVE dol
ars2 IF this is true, then in our
opinion President Mckinley is not
under the slightest obligation to
this numerous crowd of obscure
leaders who continue to swarm
around the White House like lot
of bumble-bees.

BY the Old Folks Committee and
It's friends.
John Kirkman, Esq, a member

he also stated that seven hundred
and fifty had already signi6ed their
intention of attending, providing
the gods are willing for them to
do so.
We had the pleasure of meeting
9 great many of the old-folks while
they were mingling together at

able TO renew our acquaintance
with them while they are feasting
and hobnobing with their friends
in our fair city of Zion.

TIE stupidity of the greed that
demands a restoration of the duty
of rs cents a ton on coal is betrayed
by the fact that during the last
eight months the exports of coal
from the United States amounted
to 2,524,277 tons, of the value of
$7,734, 1851, while the imports for
the same period amounted to
500, 500 tons, valued at 81, 45l ,5l9.
This relation between the export
and import trade in coal holds
throughout the year, with the differ
ence that the exports are increasing
more than the imports.
