The Standard regards the declara.
tion as being of the very highest i'm
portance 10 its bearing on the broad
diplomatic situation. In it's relations to
British interests in the far east, and
it's effect on domestic controversies in
the United States.
Euglisbmen, it says, have conclusive
reasons for congratulatine themselves
on the development which guarantees
community of aim and action in the
quarter where their rights stand in
need of yigilsnt and energetic defense.
The Standard regards the preferred
payment by the United States of $780,
100000 as windfall, and says the pro-
posal to waive American claims on ac-
count of injury in Cuba is far more
substantial concession.
The Daily Graphic says the open
door announcement Is quite sufficient
to justify the American claim to the
islands. It vindicates the United
States of the charge OF rapacity 80 free

Will Put Up A Stiff Contest
In New York City
Tonight
FOR TWENTY ROUNDS
The Men Will Fight To A Fin
ish, Or, If Both Hold Out
Points Will Be
Contested.

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-Devotees Of
the art evidently regard tonight's con-
test at the Lenox Athletic club be-
tween Corbett and Sharkey as the
greatest event the fighting world has
seen since the Carson contest, judging
from the large number of out-of-town
sporting men who have arrived in the
city today. The club has fixed the
prices of admission at 80 as the mini
mum and $50 as the maximum, but
even at these figures the indications
are that the house will be crowded.
Predictions as to the result of the
contest vary as the colors of q rainbow,
though the fact that q majority of the
ring followers are inclined to believe
that the chances of success favor Cor
bett is evidenced by the betting being
sighting in his favor. Neither man,
in the event of defeat, will have the
fall back upon. Corbett has trained
as faithfully as he did for his contest
with Fitzsimmons, while the ''sailOr
boy" for the first time in his pugilistic
career has worked systematically and
eonscienously to get himself into the
pink of condition.
Concerning his conditions and pros
poets for success Sharkey has this to
say: 81 rely greatly on my strength
and superior condition. Having never
dissipated, am in better shape today
than ever before, and have more bot
tom as race horse man would cay,

not think we will 60 the distance, for
the ex-champion will never stand

Corbett, on the other hand, Is equal

himself to be in as good condition
for hard fight as he has ever been in
his life. He says: II want to assure
