Mrs. Eitz. Would Consent.

It's almost q certainty now thai Rob
rrt Fitzsimmons. the present champion
pugiist of the world, and James j. Cor
hett, eX-champion. will meet in the
roped arena to again decide the question
for all time.
This fact was gained by represent
tative of the Evening Wisconsin after
an interview with Mrs. Fitzsmmons,
who is in tht city. 1t is the first time
Mrs. Fitzsimmons has given expression
10 her thoughts in the matter since the
affair ut Carson City last March. Be
tore the contest last March FitZSim-
mons promised his wife that he would
never enter the ring again without her
consent While Mrs. FitzsimmonS does
not come out openly and say there will
he another battle. il can he seen that
she is not anxious to put ablock in the
way of her husband as regards his flu
t're plans. In reply to II question put
Il the Evening Wisconsin reporter
whether she would give that consent
Mrs. Fitzsimmons replied:
We'll, really that is a difficult uues-
ton TO answer. but ] will say that
don't care to stand In my husbands
way, and if he thinks II better to give
Corbctt another chance | may change
my mind, but until | do there is no
prospect of the two men meeting, and

TO EXTEND THEIR UNION.
Greater Republic of Central America
IL to he Made Strong Institution.


Washington, Dec. 12-OGicial infor-
nation has been received here that the
Greater Republic of Central America
are about to extend their union so as
to give it all the attributes of a sover-
eign nation. At present the three coun-
tries forming the Union-Nicaragua Sal
vador and HOnduras-ha n diet which
conducts diplomatic relations with the
outer world, while each country main
tains its own separate government of
internal affairs. This has created the
impression that the greater republic was
merely an alliance of three republics
but not republic in itself. 1t has
been the chief cause of trouble in send
ing minister from the United States
to Central American. In view of this
feeling, Senior Corea, the representative
in Washington of the German repub
lies, wrote the secretary of the diet ask
ing for authority to state that the gov
eminent was to be more than an ALI
ance. In reply the secretary, Mr.. Men
doza. writes to Mr.. Corea that com
plete union is about to be formed. 1t
will be no longer union for diplomatic
Intercourse only, open to the criticism of
being an alliance, but will be a fusing
of all the interests OF the several gov
ernments into one sovereign state. Min
lister Corea has not been Informed as to
the details of his complete union, but
he says he believes it will be accom-
plished by February, If not earlier

Jay II IS BRUTAL
THE STRAIN ON THE PARTICIPANTS
IN THE sIx-DAY BIKE RACE
IS TELLING.
BEGINNING TO AFFECT The BRAIN
Dir. Martin Says the Men Can Never
Recover From the Enects-LOOlss
for Some of Them to Become
Raying MHniacs.

New York, Dec. 9.-Thc carly hours
of the fourth day of the great six-day
bike race found eighteen men still pedal
ling away for honor and profit. The
men were all seemingly determined, with
the possible exception Of Stephanie, who
had developed n case Of stubbornness
which his trainer had hard time in com
batting The motion of the wheel is be-
ginning TO affect the riders brains, and
even in the titful snatches of sleep which
they allow themselves they Imagine they
are still riding. The men must be forced
10 sleep in most cases by the trainers.
They want to be IN and away at the
pace, which has shown no tagging since
the start.
Police Inspector Brooks said To-Day that
he had visited Madison Square Garden
Last night TO look into the reports of
cruelty to the men in the ring. He had
found nothing, he said. with which the
police could interfere. or that he could
call cruelty.
The president of the board Of health,
IN speaking of the race, said
1T is a brutal exhibition, and should
he discontinued forthwith. 1t is not n
scientific exhibition, but one IN which
sheer brute force prevails. III it can be
proven to the board of health that it is
detrimental 10 the life and health of the
participants, then the board can step
in and stop it,"
DIR. Edward W. Martin of the health
hoard, speaking on the same subject,
said:
mo horse or locomotive could do what
the men in that race have done up to
the present time. The participants can
never recover from the effects of the
strain, and would not be surprised if
some of them do not become raving mani
acs before Saturday night"

WILL IGNORE THE TRIBES.
Congress Likely to Pass n Bill Dis
posing of Indian Territory
Questions.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The indications
are that this congress will pass general
bill for the entire rehabilitation of the
Indian Territory. The measure as now
planned is to make it embrace everything
that has been sought to be accomplished
in the past by the Dawes Indian commits
sion, which is still negotiating with the
five civilized tribes, but which will be
here next week to report the discouraging
existing conditions. The bill will cover
all conditions of citizenship, allotments of
lands, disposition of town sites, mineral
lands, full jurisdiction of the United
States courts over the present reserva-
tons, and other matters bearing on the
cxtinguishment of tribal organizations
The first steps in the matter have been
taken by the Indian committees of both
the senate and house.
1t is understood that in a few days there
will be joint session of the sub-commit
tees of the senate and house. at which all
these matters will be gone over and sig
nificant steps taken in the way of settling
the problems of congressional enactment
In view of the large amount of work nee
essary to be done, however, it is not prob
able any bill can be passed until well
toward the end of the session.
