MARSHALSHIP FIGHT.
J. Cannon Short Likely to
Get Lannan's Place.
HANDY IS NOT IN IT AT ALL


MARSHAL LANNAN'S TERM Ex-
PIREs ON AUGUST 20 AND A
HOT FIGHT is WAGING AMONG
THE REPUBLICANS - HUGHES
SAYS THE CIVIL SERVICE PRO
TECTS HIM.
Now that the expiration of Marshal
lAnnan's term is drawing near, both the
Union and regular Republicans, Judging
from the visits that henchmen Of both
sides have made to the Federal build
ing, are making a desperate hght for
what is termed "the softest snap in
Dela@are-the United States marshall
ship.
Hewson T. Lannan, the present in
cumDcnt was appointed on August 20,
1893, Ey President Cleveland. His dep
uty marshal is David Hughes. All
through Mr. Lannan s tenure OF oTlcehe
has served the government faithfully,
and has been a capable and a most eff
cient officer. He secured the marshal
ship through the intercessiOn of Sena-
tor Gray, and for his valuable service
to the Democratic party with which he
has been Identified for years, and for
which he labored zealously.
Mr.. Hughes, his deputy, shares the
same confidence as his superior officer
Both men have been recognized factors
in the Democratic line, and the numer-
GUS friends they have made while in
Uncle Sans employ regret that their
service is nearing the end None regret
this more than the newspaper men, who
have ever been kindly treated by Mar
shal Lannan and his deputy.
EVERYBODY SAYS SHORT.
An Evening Journal reporter called
on several prominent Republicans this
morning and asked each as to his opin-
ion regarding the winning candidate in
the fight for the marshalship. They all
said 1T looks like John Cannon Short
of Sussex county"
One added that although Henry H.
McMullons chances last week were
very bright, his star has dropped.
1--WE do not intend to hurry the presi-
dent in appointing a man to fill Ian
mans place" said an active Republican
worker this morning. "and the place
may be vacant for some time after Mr.
Lannan goes out"
Il has been said that the Union Re
publicans do not intend to fight for the
place. but on several occasions State
Senator Robert j. Handy, who is being
backed by the Unions, and has strong
| inclination in that direction, has pail
! several visits to the marshal's office IL
the Federal building. which is regarde'
as somewhat significant
The fight which Senator" II. A. Du
Pont has waged against the Addicksitc
has slaughtered the hopes of the stat
senator. and during the past week, II i
said. lac has given up all hope.
There are at least dozen applicant
for the marshalship.
WHAT HUGHES SAYS.
Deputy Marshal Hughes, when seei
this morning. said that President Glove
land put all of the deputy marshals un
der the civil service, and therefore tn
one VINO is appointed to succeed MI
Lannan cannot oust him. 81 have learn
ed that the civil service rules keeps m
in office" he said.
, Mr.. Lannan is a machinist by trade
and IL is not known whether he will g
back to that business or not.

MICHAEL AND TAYLOR TO RACE
The "Welsh Rarebit' to Meet the
"French Whirlwindn

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-Bicyclists ev-
erywhere are intensely interested in the
forthcoming race between Jimmy Mich
ael and Edward Taylor. The event will
take place New Years night in Madison
Square garden and there Is no doubt the
vast amphitheater will be packed to the
doors. 1t will practically be contest
of midgets, for the welsh Rarebit" has
been riding at 103 pounds, while the
French Whirlwind" tips the scales at
few pounds more.
The conditions call for a twenty five
mile paced race, in which neither man Is
to be allowed to make use of his oppo-
nent's pacemakers. It will be permis-
sible for either contestant to drop be-
hind his opponents rear wheel in case
pace is lost. That custom prevails in all
pace races.
Taylor is reputed to be the best fol-
lower of fast pacing, the greatest un-
paced rider the best all-around bicycle
racer that ever participated in an event
on the continent of Europe. Every
American knows what Michael can do,
for everybody has heard or read OF the
wonderful performances of this little hu-
man comet.
The wonderful Welsh rider never
smokes, and his beverages are only tea
and ale. During his six years Of racing,
the food that he has taken into his sys-
tenn has been almost entirely beef. He

COLORADO COAL
Won't Be Mined Unless Wages Are
Advanced

DENVER, Col, Dec. 29.-Trouble is
brewing in the northern coal fields. The
operators have received notice from the
miners that unless their wages are ad
vanced by January 10th they will close
down every coal mine in Lafayette,
Louisville, Marshall, Erie and the small
er camps. The operators say that the
schedule demanded is an advance of
from 10 to 40 per cent. The present scale
runs from 40 to so cents per ton for min
ing after machines and 10 to 80 cents
per ton for pick work. According to the
way the operators figure it the schedule
demanded would be 55 to 60 cents after
machines and IS cents to 81 for pick
work.
The operators say that the present
wages, together with the other expenses
of production, leaves them very small
margin, and declare that If the miners
insist on a higher scale the operators
will be forced to close down the mines.
There are 1900 men in the territory who
would be thrown out of work in the event
Of strike. The demand is that the in
crease go into effect January 10th, and
a strike is threatened IL concessions are
not made before January 10th.

Proves More Profitable Than Common

NEW YORK, Dec. pa warrant is
ant for the arrest of Henry Oliver Gold
smith. one Of the best known men of
Wall street. The specific charge against
him is grand larceny in the first degree
for appropriating q check for $4,000, the
property of Oscar A. Wiessman of
Brooklyn.
The officials of the District Attorneys
office say that Goldsmith has managed
to get away with something like half
million dollars by operations similar to
those which brought the E. S. Dean
Company before the public. Goldsmith
was indicted on Tuesday. Detectives
have followed clews all over New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Boston and other
places, bit so far Goldsmith has eluded
them.
Goldsmith and a man named Webster
operated rDder the firm name Of Hoyt
& Co. George HaZelweide and William
A. Mitchell, who were their brokers. were
arrested three weeks ago for their part
in the operations. but the charges against
them have not been tried. They were
dropped from membership in the Stock
Exchange. 1t was upon their evidence
the Grand Jury found their indictment
against Goldsmith. The latter is about
IS years old and, in the opinion of his
attorneys, was one of the shrewdest
men that ever engaged in Wall street
speculation after the manner of Dean &
Co. They say his victims are numbered
by the thousands.

JEWISH HISTORY
Discussed by Members of the His

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The sixth an

historical society convened in this city
today. Former Minister to Turkey Os-

Wolf of Washington read a biographi-

the commodore was dismissed from the

largely due to President Madison
aroused a rather heated discussion. 1t
is alleged that President Madison called

sole reason that he was a Jew. The fol-

CORBETT MONEY is UP
TO BIND A MATCH WITH THE
CHAMPION
Brady Writes an Insulting Challenge
and Jim Himself Is Wrestling
With Another Screed

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-William A.
Brady, manager of James j. Corbett, to-
might sent to the Associated Press the
following challenge of Robert Fitzsim-
mons, champion pugilist of the world:
James ]. Corbett, dissatisfied with
the result of his late contest with you at
Carson City, and not believing that you
are his superior, either as boxer or
fighter and being of the opinion that
the majority of the American people
shares his belief that he can defeat you
if ever you are man enough to grant
him a return battle on equal conditions,
has deposited today s25OO as first de-
posit to bind match for $4,000 a side,
the persons Offering the largest induce
ments to have the management of the
contest. AS you have said today that
your wife has withdrawn her objections
to your again entering the ring, there is
no reason why the arrangement should
not be speedily consummated for you,
in my presence at Carson City, gave
Corbett your word of honor that if you
ever entered the ring again you would
give him the first chance 1t is useless
for you to attempt to deceive the public
by attempting to force Corbett to meet
some second-rate boxer before he shall
be entitled to your notice. He will not
| agree to meet Maher. Sharkey or any
one else. He claims the chance that he
gave you, the right to win back the title
of champion. He clearly proved himself
in your class on March 18th last and it
was only by the greatest kind of flul1e
~ tit1od Oh, mi md
do not believe that you will ever forget
until your dying day the beating that
he gave you then, and if ever he secures
the opportunity to again face you in
twenty-four foot ring I will guarantee
you that he will prove conclusively and
beyond a question of doubt whether or
not he is in your class"
Dan Stuart, who managed the Fitz-
simmons Maher and Corbett-F -Fitzsim-
mons bouts successfully, said today that
he would leave for the west next week
and hoped that he would secure the sig
natures of both Fitzsimmons and Cor
bett to articles of agreement for ring
contest, which he proposes to bring off
next summer, probably~i in the state of
Nevada.
Mr.. Stuart would like to have the con-
July, and said that he would like to ar
range meeting between Kid Mccoy
and Choynski or some other good mid
dleweight to take place in the same week
as the rbett-Fitzsimmons contest If
he can succeed in making arrangements
for both contests, Stuart said he would
offer excellent inducements for the win
ner of both these bouts to meet six
months later.
ANOTHER COMING
CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-J. j. Corbett
who is spending the holiday week here,
is tonight writing a challenge to Fitz-
simmons. Corbett says that when Fitz-
simmons announced his retirement he
did not feel at liberty to challenge him.
Now that Fitzsimmons has announced
that he is still in the ring, the challenge
will be prepared within day or two.

ANTI-HANNAITES BUSY
Kurtz Is Sure of the Republican Boss
Defeat

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 29.-There was

scenes about the hotel lobbies indicated
that the senatorial election was the alb
sorbing question. That the anti Hanna
Republicans, led by Charles Kurtz, will
test the strength of their forces in the
organization of the legislature was in
dicated by the unofficial announcement
that Representative Mason of Cleveland
would oppose Representative Boxwell
of Warren county for speaker.
Mr.. Mason, accompanied by Repre-
sentative Bramley of Cleveland, both of
whom are known to be unfrendly to
Senator Hanna, opened headquarters at
the Great Southern hotel today, and it
was generally understood that the anti

the middle of February. 1t will be COM
posed of fifty soldiers, sixty Laplanders
and 500 reindeer, and it was thought 1t
would be able to make the trip to Daw-
son in four to six weeks. The one thing
that was troubling him now, he said,
was the fear that they would not have
sufficient food for the reindeer, as he had
been informed no reindeer moss grows
along the Dalton trail.
