Springs all day announced that his
man must be kept quiet and away from
all excitement. The champions father
arrived on the early train from the
coast, and received warm welcome
when he reached the camp. Harry and
Joe Corbett, with their father, spent
the greater part of the day with their
pugilistic relative, all of them being
confident that victory awaits Jim to-
morrow. During the forenoon, and aft
ernoOn COrbett took several short
walks, but was permitted very little of
any other sort of exercise.
Among the sub-trainers and other
attaches of the camp, there was an ap-
parent effort to conceal the intense in
terest and excitement resulting from
the near approach of the event Of the
Celtic saints day. Big Jeffries and
McVey nervOusly paced back and forth
through the quarters, or aWkWardly
jCked with their acquaintances, keep

who through the month of hard work,
has been the funmaker of the camp,

ing made it impossible to see any pos
sibiIity of defeat for his big patron
Delaney and White, veterans of the
training quarters were more self-con-
tanned, but even they gave some evil
dence of nervousness. Throughout the
camp, from the cook and barkeeper to
the champion, a feeling of confidence
prevailed. I'VE can't lose" was the
unanimous sentiment which found fire.
quent and vigorous expression
From O'Clock in the morning until
late at night the camp was besieged by
visitors. ALI sorts of vehicles, from
the stage coach to bicycles. crowded
the enclosure about the hotel, and the
murky little barroom did a business
which left the traditional oldest in
habitant dumb with astonishment. The
members of the constantly shifting
crowd were almost all Of them Cor

Wagered his bank account WED with
one another in singing the praises Of
him "who had licked John L., and
wouldn't do a thing, oh not a thing to

enthusiasts were much disappointed at
not being allowed to see and talk to
their favorite, but White firmly re-
fused the frequent requests.

Corbett will enter the ring weighing
close to 1S5 pounds, rather over that
figure than under 1t. His exact weight
has been kept a secret by his trainers

CANEA, March 16-(Midnight)-Co
Vassos has transferred his headquarters

inaccessible position in the island This
is held to indicate that Greece is firm

step which is regarded as impossible in
face of the strong national feeling Col

camp, which is revictualed for several
months. He is now able to await the
progress of events
The Russian consul has received for
NAL instructions to proclaim autonomy
for Crete but the other consuIs still
remain without them. The admirals
consider that this step has been taken
too late. After a conference today,
the consuls addressed notes to their
respective embassies declaring that if
any portion of the marines should be
withdrawn from Canea, looting and
laWleSsneSS, aggravated by hunger will
dangerously increase
At noon the admirals of the foreign
fleets had not yet proclaimed the
blockade of the island of Crete as de-
cided on by the powers. The Greek
squadron, with the exception of two
vessels, has left ,Cretan waters, and
the two vessels referred to are prepar-
ing to leave.
LONDON, March 16.-In the house
of lords today the Marquis of Sails
bury, replying to the earl Of Kimberley,
the Liberal leader, said that instruc-
tions had been given to the admirals
in command of the foreign fleets in
Cretan waters to commence the block
ade Of the island of Crete without any
further delay. The premier added that
an admirable statement of the policy of
the powers had been made in the
French chamber of deputies yesterday
by M. Hanotaux and M. Meline (the
minister for foreign affairs and premier
respectively in which he heartily con-

The Rome correspondent of the Daily
News understands that Greece pro-
poses to the powers that she. should
concentrate her troops now in Crete
at some spot near the coast, where
they could be easily provisioned and
would be quite isolated from the in
surgents; that the Turks should do
likewise, and that the powers should
then pacify the island and the Gre
tans be given an opportunity to de-
clare freely how they wish to be gov
erned.
A dispatch to the Times from Canea,
giving further details of the terrible

Gov. Sadler was delighted with his
visitors enthusiasm and took him to
dinner at the executive mansion. Dur
ing the evening Mr.. ingalls, met Par
son" Davies, Muldoon, Tom Sharkey,
Prof. Donaldson and many other men
prominent in pugilistic circles, and ap-
peared to enjoy himself immensely.
This afternoon a special from San
Francisco, pulled in, composed of nine
Pullman sleepers, the first to reach
here. When the train left San Fran
cisco it had ten coaches, but one was
left at Reno to attach to the local train.
Most of the passengers were sporting
men from San Francisco, but there was
also delegations from Los Angeles and
Marysville, each of the latter cities hav
ing it's own car The Olympic Athletic
club, of San Francisco, was represent
ed by a large number of members.
One of the passengers who attracted
a great deal of attention was CorbettS
father, who came to see his son battle
for gold and glory. Mr. Corbett, Sr,
travelled in state, occupying the draw
ing room of Pullman car. His words
were listened to with great respect
by his fellow passengers. He expressed
the utmost confidence in his sons
ability to defeat FitZsimmons. and said
that Jim had assured him that there
was no possibility of his losing. On ar
irving in Carson, Mr.. Corbett drove
Immediately to his sons quarters and
spent the remainder of the day with
him.
A special from the East, the first
one, also came in. 1t was made up Of
Pullman cars, two from Chicago, two
from Salt Lake, one from Omaha, one
from Kansas City, one from Indian
apolis and one from Toledo. All the
lower berths were occupied, but many
of the upper ones had not been taken
There were about 250 people on board,
the only notables being Jack McAuliffe
and Harry Phillips, of Montreal, who
took John L. Sullivan to Europe.
When asked tonight how many peo-
pie he expected to attend the fight
Dan Stuart said he was confident that
10000 would witness the battle. He
had expected more to attend from San
Francisco, but for some reason many
Of the patrons Of the prize ring of that
city had decided not to come.
Corbett spent the last day before the
battle very quietly He arose about
s o'clock, and after a brief promenade
on the rickety veranda of the Springs
hotel, did ample justice to his break
fast For an hour he lounged about
the mussy little bar room and parlor,

White and Delaney did not allow their
man out Of their sight, watching him
with a solicitude that was comically
hen-like.
"We have got him to just the point
we want him. said Delaney, "and
don't intend to let him run any risk
of any kind"

guardianship good naturedly, though he
frequently reminded his trainers that he

Salisbury Explains in the English House of Lords That the
Adnlirals Have Been Instructed to Blockade
Cretan P0rts-GreekS Will Take
Active Measures

ATHENS, March 16.-It is the general
belief here that nothing now can pre-
vent war, and the government has its
plan of campaign fully prepared. The
cabinet had a long session today as to
the attitude to be taken in face of the
coercive programme of Europe, and it
is reported that a decision was reached
to take active measures, as being the
only solution possible for Greece.
The center of interest is now trans
ferred from Crete to the Macedonian
frontier. 1t is evident from the haste
which the government has displayed in
getting all it's available troops off by
sea before the commencement of the
blockade that there is a strong convic-
tion that they will be needed at once
With the sea route closed, the trans
portation Of troops must be overland
and this would be an exceedingly slow
and difficult process owing to the lack
of horses and the very incomplete rail-
way system in the northern portions of
Greece. Many Of the war correspond
ents have already arrived at Volo, La
rissa and other frontier points.
The Greek officers on the frontier
find the utmost difficulty in restraining
their men, and the departure of Crown
Prince Constantine for the frontier has
been deferred on the advice of the gen.
erals in command, who fear that his
presence would have dangerously ex-
citing influence upon the troops.
1t is reported that the Turkish forces
on the Macedonian frontier are raising
double line of fortifications and be-
ing constantly reinforced from Salon
lea.
Since the publication in the semi
official press of the exposition of Count
Muravieffs Cretan policy, which ap-
peared at the moment when it was
most calculated to influence the French
government, the feeling of the public
press of Greece has been one of the
fierceSt resentment toward Russia
The Greek royal family is also seriously
disappointed by the attitude of Russia,
and France is believed to have sacri-
feed her Cretan sympathies upon the
altar of the Franco-R Russian entente.
The Greek army in Thessaly will be
formed in two divisions and the COM
mand given to Crown Prince Constan-
tine. The Greek forces in Epirus are
now greatly superior to the Turks,
though the latter are being reinforced
with all haste.
LARISSA, March 16.-The situation
OH the frontier is now infiammable. At
several points the sentries and out
posts of the Turkish and Greek forces
are within forty PAGES of each other.
The Greek fleet has a magnificent pO-
sitiOn off Skiatho. Volo has been well
reinforced by. gunboats, torpedo boats
and transports. A ship load Of 600
Hungarian horses has arrived there

The Democrats of Ohio have mag
niaeently defeated bossism in their
State convention. but they have need
vet to be vigilant. The opposition to
bossism and alien representation in
the United States Senate have been
vigorous. but they must continue Wig
orous until the whole legislative
ticket is nominated. The battle cry
from now until the election should be
Down with bossism,"
Ii is declared that the man who tried
and failed to boss the Ohio Democratic
convention has withdrawn from the
Senatorial race. but his sincerity is
challenged. It will require determined
opposition to keep him from reasSert-
ing his claims at a later date. The
fight should be so vehement that he
will not dare to present himself again
as a candidate.
This is a bad year for bosses. This
is a peoples year. The Democrats Of
Ohio have a serious duty to perform
it is to send a worthy successor to
Allen G. Thurman to the Senate. They
can perform this only through organ
lied effort in every county.
Everything portends a Democratic
victory this fall. The reign Of the
Republican party has been character
lied by bossism and corruption RAM
pant. and a plenitude of promise and
paucity Of performance. The Re
publican party has jugg,ed with, de-
ceiyed and betrayed the people. The
promised prosperity has not come and
the Republican party evinces no dis
position whatever TO meet the greatest
question of the day-the question Of
bimetallism.
