! gilistic world by challenging Ryan.
RYAN regarded it as big joke, but
| took him on without training five min
utes for the fight. He underestimated
his man, was in poor shape, and lost
| the decision.
Dan Creedon, you say? Well, ev-
erybody knows that Dan Creedon is
not the man he was a few years ago,
and those who are on the inside know
that Creedon was drunk all night be-
fore he fought Fitzsimmons. These
are the only good boxers he has met.
Why don't he fight Choynski, who has
been after him a long time? And why
don't he whip Peter Maher before he
aspires to the championship?
But we will settle Mccoy yet, mark
my word. He is a clever boxer, is
Mccoy. and when he gets an easy
thing he makes a good showing. II
he stepped into the ring with Bob, It
would be different, and he would be
a whipped man before he put the gloves
on
Julian told about meeting between
Mccoy and Fitzsimmons, in London,
when the former was on his way to
South Africa That was before the
Carson City fight. Mccoy had been
telling through the newspapers that
he would drive Fitzsimmons into a
corner. Julian met him at the train,
then telephoned Bob, and the three had
a little chat The subject finally drift
ed toward fighting, and Julian suggest
ed that Bob was ready to make a
J match. McCoy's answer surprised
them. He said that the newspapers
had all reported him incorrectly, and
walking over to Fitzsimmons, he
shook his hand, and said: You
know don't want to fight you, don't
you, Bob?"
Wheeling friends of ''Yank' Ken
new. who has met with a number Of
reverses in his recent battles, will be
surprised to learn that he is FitZ5im-
mons sparring partner Last night
was the sixth time he spared with the
champion, and he handled himse-f
very we'll His marked resemblance
TO Corbett is a good thing for Fitz-
simmons, from a theatrical stand
point. Julian has better opinion Of
Kenney than he has Of the sporting
fraternity generally.
Il think | will eventually make
something out of Kenney," he said to
the reporter "He can strike hard,
and he is active on his feet, and with
the experience and training he will
receive with Fitzsimmons, he may yet
make some Of the big fellows look sill
ly. The trouble with kenney is that
he lacks experience and has been
improperly handled. He should
have worked his way up, in
stead of going after the top
notchers on the jump. He struck Bob
on the arm the other night and raised
a big welt, and the arm has been sore
ever since"
Julian explained that Fitzsimmons
never rehearses any OF his exhibition
bouts, and on this account the great
est trouble he experiences is in secur-
ing a sparring partner for him. They
don't stay long. One man is now in a
hospital in Ohio, having his nose and
eyes treated Fitzsimmons does not
Try to knock them out, but his style Of
boxing belongs to Fitzsimmons and
nobody else, and he aims to show how
he actually fights, in all his exhibitions
on the stage.

''Lanky Bob" Fitzsimmons, truly a
pugilistic marvel, champion of the
world in the middle weight and heavy
weight classes, arrived in the city yes
terday afternoon with his vaudeville
combination, which is filing a half
weeks engagement at the Grand Opera
House. He was accompanied by Mrs
'Fitz," his manager, Martin Julian,
and hig dog, "Yarreum."
The party registered at the Mcclure
House, and the champion came down
into the lobby after being shown to
his room. The big dog, which is a pup
from one of Prince Bismarck's dogs
and weighs 215 pounds, followed at the
heels of his master, who occasionally
stroked his back in an affectionate
manner. When Bob was not about,
"Yarrum" stretched himself out on the
tile floor, and late in the afternoon he
took notion to go out and see the
town. He was found on the street by
an attache of the company and return
ed to the hotel.
Bob wore nobby plug hat, and was
fashionably dressed, looking anything
but the champion fighter of the world
The attention which he attracted did
not discomfort him. He was accus-
toned to it. During the afternoon he
played billiards at the Mcclure, and
took advantage of the opportunity Of
renewing several friendships which he
formed on the occasion of his previous
visit to Wheeling
A Register reporter saw Fitzsimmons
and Julian, and talked with them
about ring matters and other matters
Jim" Corbett will have to whip Pc
ter Maher before he can expect to en-
ter the ring again with me-" said the
lanky champion, land as for Mccoy
he is making big bluff for advertis-
ing purposes, and not one man in fif-
ty takes him Seriously
''Corbett is making a great hubbub
just now, about Bob not treating him
right" chimed in Martin Julian "You
see the Carson City fight put the shoe
on the other foot, and it pinches. The
public well remembers how hard Bob
had to work to get Corbett into the
ring. and retaliation would be only
fol hI1t pnh oil foi,-
osition to the big buffer. He stipu-
lates that if Corhett whips Peter Ma
her, he will again fight him. The
truth of the matter is that Corbett
knows he cannot whip Maher
why, everybody remembers how
Corbett announced just after the fight
at Carson City that he would follow
Bob to the end of the world ana force
him to fight him again. If Corbett is
as anxious for another battle as he
pretends to be. why don't he accept
Bobs conditions If he cannot whip
Maher, he is not fit to hold the heavy
weight championship, nor competent
man to fight for it,
Julian was also asked about the at
titude of himself and Fitzsimmons
toward kid" Mccoy. Julian laughed
first. and then opened up on Mccoy
after this fashion:
why, Mccoy is an upstart who is
overrated by his friends, and no per-
son takes him seriously when he talks
about fighting for the championship
Show us that he is competent to fight
for that honor and he will be accom-
modated. What good man has he
whipped?
Yes, he got a decision over Tommy
Ryan, but let me tell you something
about that. He used to work with
Ryan, and after be left him he worked
hard, and showed some Improvement,
and then he suddenly startled the pu-

the name of this high parsonage cannot
be quoted, but no one is better qualified
to speak with knowledge of the subject.
This minister said:
There is no papal telegram whatever.
What happened was that the Spanish
ambassador at the vatican was ap-
preached by Cardinal Rampolla the
papal secretary of state, who told him
the president of the United States had
allowed it to be understood that papa1
intervention would be acceptable The
Spanish ambassador wired here to that
effect and thereupon, we indicated that
though having sent a categorical reply
to President Mckinley the terms hav-
ing previously been conceded to the last
point consistent with Spain'S honor we
were certain the Pope would respect the
rights and honor of Spain, and agreed
to his intervention.
Tt was impossible for our regular
army, fighting rebels, to agree to an
armistice at the suggestion of a certain
foreign power, but when the father of
Christendom, without force, but with
vast moral power, offered intervention,
we could not refuse it, knowing well
that reliance might be placed upon his
Independent judgment So, not an
armistice, but a truce, a truce of God,
has been agreed upon. This, however,
requires action upon the part of the
United States, consequential action to
our concession. The rebels have been,
not designedly, we believe, assisted and
encouraged by the presence of Ameri-
can warships in the neighborhood of
the island A continuance of this would
initiate against the pope's good offices
and against the hopes of peace. We
know President Mckinley has worked
for peace, but an influence has been
growing like a rising tide and it is now
a question whether any barrier or en-
bankment he would set across it's pro-
gress, would be strong enough to with
stand it's force. Spain has shown her
willingness to secure peace by conces-
sions to the last point consistent with
her national honor The future de-
pends upon the power of the American
government in controllig hostile public
opinnion.

on the Cuban question and that action
III advance of his message would be
premature and extremely inadvfsabIe.
o9ihe OF the Democratic members of
the committee demanded to know when
the message would be sent in and Mr.
ADAMS said that Wednesday at the out
tomorrow.
When asked why there was so much
oeIay ana why the president did not
SEND the message today as had been
expected, Mr. Adams replied that it was
physical imposSibility for the presi-
dent to get it ready today, and it might
be impossible to get it ready tomorrow.
1t was stated the event was too mo-
mentouS and the message would be of
such Importance that no undue haste
should be used, and especially no at
tempt should be made at this juncture
to force the president to physical in7-
possibilities.
Some questions were asked as to the
nature of the message and what it
would recommend but no one felt au-
thorized to speak on this point, al
though the impression was made on the
members of the committee that it would
be a recommendation upon which the
house could unite.
The Democratic members said they
had no wish to unduly crowd the Pres
ident, and they agreed upon the rep
resentationS made to counsel patience
on their side of the house.
There was some discussion as to the
possible form of action the House
should take, but it was found that the
committee had different views on the
subject, some favoring independence.
some independence and Intervention.
and some demanding war on account OF
the Maine.
The question of treating the Maine as
q. separate incident was also considered.
On this subject there We're divergent
opinions. 1t is understood that the pur-
pose of the meeting is to prepare a re-
port in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the President if these
recommendation are sufficiently devel-
oped and the message sure to come to-
morrow.
1t is the desire of the committee 20
be ready to report Immediately follow
ing the reading of the message.

THE POPE IS PROGRESSING.
His Efforts at Madrid in the Interest
of Peace are Said to Promise Well

Washington, April Awhile no offer
of mediation has been made by Pope
Leo XIII to the United States since the
vatican never initiates a tender of its
services as mediator or arbitrator and
this country has made no such request,
there is little doubt that unofficial rep
reservations have been made as to the
deep interest felt by the Pope in the
preservation of peace.
There is reason to believe, however,
that the Pope's influences are being ex-
erted much more directly and with
greater effect at Madrid than at Wash
ington. Pope Leo is the godfather of
Alphonso XIII, the king of Spain, and
Pope Pious TX was the godfather of
Alphonso XII, the late king of Spain.
This indicates the great influence which
the vatican exercises over the Spanish
dynasty, the royal family and the coun-
try at large being thoroughly Catholic
Owing to this it is not doubted that
the influence of the Pope would be most
important and probably decisive in in
ducing Spain to make every concession
possible toward the maintenance of
peace Furthermore, it is known Off
ciaIIy that these influences are being
exerted at the present moment and that
thew promise to be productive of re-
