MEXICAN LIMOGES MENACING.
ROW WITH ENGLAND MAY COME
II AN ISLAND HAS BEEN SEIZED.

The Government Sends n Corvette to
Investigate the Report That the
British Have Occupied CIipperton
IsIand-FOrmnI Request to he
Made For Its Restoration If the Re-
port of the Seizure Proves True.
Diaz's Monroe Doctrine.
City of Mexico, Dec. 16.-Some time ago.
when it was rumored that a British war
ship had seized Clipperton Island, local
papers took the matter up, and. as re-
suit of their agitation over the forcible oc-
cupation of Mexican soil, the foreign re-
lations department asked the war depart
ment to send an expedition to the island
to investigate if the British really had
taken possession. -Four days ago the cor
vette lei Democratica, Capt. Genesta left
Mazatlan for the island. Should it prove
true that the island, which Mexico claims
as belonging to her. has been seized by
the British, the matter will be taken up
automatically for the purpose of recover
ing the territory.
Mexico will formally request the resto-
ration of the island. No one here expects
any serious difficulty over the matter, and
there is as yet no definite information in
possession of the government in regard
to the alleged seizure of Clpperton.
AT the foreign relations department II
was said to-day that the object of the ex-
pedition was not warlike, but merely to
ascertain the true condition of affairs. The
same thing was said at the war depart
ment There is no disquietude over the
matter here.
The newspapers, however, are likely to
make much of the seizure if it turns out
to be a fact. for there is a sentiment
among Mexican people that England un-
justly acquired Belize, or British Hon
duras, from this country.
The Mexican Herald editorially says:
European nations are looking forward to
the time when by the meekness of the
great republican champion of the Monroe
doctrine, they may proceed, under one pre-
text or another, to carve up South and
Central America. If the American people
allow themselves to be beguiled into un-
preparedness for war, they will assuredly
be caught all unready by vigilant Europe
and their sea power destroyed, whereupOn
Latin America win be seized as a fox
does a fat capon."
The same paper remarks that President
Diaz's doctrine, which contemplates the
eventual freeing of the new world from
every trace of European control, is much
broader than the Monroe doctrine, and
will become principle of action of the
twentieth century.

CREEDON TO MEET M'COY.
Hattie For MIddIeweIght Champion
ship Exciting Great Interest.

New York, Dec. 16.-In the Long Island
City Athletic Club arena Tomorrow night
Kid Mccoy and Dan Creedon win battle
for the middelweight championship of the
world and a purse of $500.
No contest since the Corbett- -F'itzsimmons
fight has created so much interest among
sporting men. Mccoy and Creedon are
believed to be by long odds the best men
in their class in the world and both have
met and defeated about the same class of
fighters. 1t took long time 10 bring the
two together, but tomorrow night at last
they will settle their differences.
They are both supremely confident OF
winning, but the odds are slightly in favor
of Mccoy, 10 to being about the present
price. One thing that has contributed TO
the shortening of the odds, which 1t was
believed some time ago would be about 2
to / on Mccoy, was his recent fight with
Tommy Ryan at Syracuse the decision
being a draw after the police had stopped
the bout in the sixth round
The middleweights are expected to enter
the ring at about the same weight 1853
pounds, and although Creedon was almost
in the heavyweight class a few months
ago, he has knocked off a lot of flesh in
the last few months.
Already every one OF the 4,500 seats in
the arena have beeen sold.

ing in the lyceum in Lyons he became an

In 1851 with his brother Ernest, he went
to Paris to try to gain livelihood by
literary pursuits. His first publication
was a volume of poems entitled, Les

employment on several newspapers. The
Figaro opened its columns to a descrip-
ton of LES Cueux de Province" in which
he depicted with extreme earnestness the
miseries and sufferings of the ushers in
provincial schools,
He next published LA Double Conver-
sion" a poem which was followed in 1868
by lie Roman du Chaperon Rouge" a
collection of articles that had appeared
originally in the Figaro. In 1875 the French
academy awarded him the Jouy prize for
Fremont Jeune ct Risler Aine," which
was successfully dramatized in the follow
ing year by NJ. AlphOnse Beiot.
NJ. Daudet was long connected with the
Journal Oficeil, whose theatrical depart
ment was made under his charge.

GEORGIA'S OFFICE SEEKERS.
Ruckcr, Lyons and Deveaux to Leave
For Home Tomorrow.

For Home Tomorrow.
Washington, Dec. 16-Among the callers
at the white house to-day were Judson
Lyons and Henry Rucker, collector of in
ternal revenue. They called to see the
President and have general talk about
Georgia appointments. They were inform
ed that the President was engaged hold
ing a special meeting with his cabinet and
therefore declined to see his Georgia Wis

he will be willing to hear the interests
of the colored republicans of Georgia dis
cusEed.
After leaving the white house Judson
Lyons went to the postofiice department
and filed some additional papers in behalf
of j. b. Sorrells, who is the organization
candidate for bhe Monroe postofice; ana
Clark Grier aspirant for the Dublin post
Office Lyons says he does not anticipate
any action in these cases until after the
Christmas holidays, but he simply enforc-
ed the claims of Sorrels and Grier with
new and stronger Endorsements.
Col Deveaux was at the treasury de-
partment this morning to get brief of
all the papers he has on the file with a
view of presenting them to the President,
if the latter grants him an interview.
Rucker, Lyons and DeVeauX are salts
fled that they can accomplish nothing
definite in connection with the Savannah

CHICAGO WHEAT CORNER.
Letters Representative Claims His
Holding Cost Only 20 Cents.


Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 16-George b. French,
the authorized agent Of the Letter interest
in wheat, impaired bit Of information
to-day which wheat Spectators for many
months have been anxious to know. He
also ventured a prediction on the future
of May wheat.
"Our wheat costs us very near 70 cents, q"
said Mr.. French "and at that price we
think we can afford to take it in pay for
it and see what it looks like
Our position, as We have said right
along, is simply that of merchaudisers.
The line was bought including the trans
fers, at the price l named, and our posi-
ton is not that of the speculator. 1t is as
if q straight line was drawn from 20 cents
up to, say, $1.10, as against the position
of the speculatOr, who had bought and sold
at the same price but who had also bought
and sold at so many Intermediate points
as to entirely change his position.
In regard to the wheat situation at pres
ent, l will say that I think that spectators
are watching the local conditions and en-
urely ignoring the legitimate position. As
soon as the deficiency of supplies and the
urgency of the demand Becomes more ap-
parent, l will not be a bit surprised to see
May wheat at $3.50. At that time the high
est price in the country will be in Mime
apolis, the mulers market. Wheat will
go to Minneapolis in the spring on actual
demand for grinding, just as it has recent
ly been coming to Chicago on an alleged
corner. 1t is not improbable that many
northwestern farmers Will be coming here
for seeR wheat"
While Mr.. French would give no infor-
nation as to the sxe of the line of wheat
which he represents, he said: eve eX-
pect that all the wheat we have bought
will be delivered to us
