AN OLYMPIC MATTER.

In spite of the law and the prophets nearly every body takes more or les. interest in prize-fght- ing. IL is not necessary telexplain or apologise for this interest It exists, and prize-fghting goes right on all over the country. in spite of the fact that Nevada is the only State where it is legalized. Moreover prizc-fghting is a Sun dat-school diversion compared with football. When Corbett was defeated at Carson City il was due To the fact that fine breath was knocked out of him for about twelve seconds. In football this would be regarded as trifIe not worth mentioning. We will ven lure to say that more men were killed and badly injured in foot ball last year than have been kill ed and injured in the ring since it was instituted. But this is aside from what We started out 10 say. The ring Aourishes today, and it las its heroes. When man wins his way to the championship 1t is expected of him that he will main tain his prowess for reasonable length of time. It is not expected that he will become quitter as soon as he has become champion. When John l.. Sullivan Was cham pion he was ready to meet any and all corners. When Corbett became champion he was confronted at once with new condition by re- eeiving a challenge from middle weight Naturally he preferred to do battle first with heavy weights and to wait until Fitzsim- mons had become q heavyweight. Had he fought It once with Fitz- simmons and defeated him he would have added nothing to his reputation. When, however, he found that Fitzsimmons really  wanted to fight he did everything he could to accommodate him. He also agreed to meet Peter Jackson out West, but just as soon IS the chance fer fight was presented Peter packed his duds and went to Europe. The question now agi- tating the sporting fraternity is whether Fitzsimmons ought to give Corbett return match, and the sports are almost unanimously of the opinion that he ought In faet. he cannot avoid Il without writing himself down rank cow ard and qaitter Corbett now of fers to give him all the gate re- eeipts, win or lose, if he ~iII fight hlm again; and he points out the fact that if Fitzsimmons bests him again 1t will be worth $2o,- ooo to him. Now, as Fitz claims that Corbett Is not d fighter, but d quitter. there k no sense in his de- eHning to pick up this amount. The fact that he is again unwilling to meet the ex-champion again shows that he is afraid to dc so. He knows perfectly well that e caa win more reputation as we'll As money by defeating Corbett than any other man in the busi
 ness. He is not required to meet Mccoy yet fer the latter is still middlrweight, but when the Kid takes on a little more flesh and makes his entree into the top class, Bob will have to fight or huke. In the meantime, those who are interested in these atheletic matters would ike to see the champion act more like champion, and defend the title or get out of the business altogether.-Commercial Appeal.

 Col. D. E. King, freight agent of the St. Louis X Iron Noun tain Rv., made the farmers talk on last Saturday, on the subject of diversified farming, at the court house in our city. Col. King talks in a plain straightforward business way, and said enough, it seemed to Us, to convince any reasonable man that truck farming would pay a great deal better than the .'all cottono plan. Col. King vouehed as cheap freight rates. in car lots, as are had elsewhere and cheaper even, than many other places en- joy. He did not advocate the abandonment of growing, altogether; but thought it better to mlX with its fruit, and vegetable growing. His talk was alternative ly listened to by a respectable mum Der of our farmers and fruit-groW- CTS. and whether they will profit by his wholesome advice or hot re mains to be seen.
 At the conclusion of Col. King s address, Mir. w ]. Savage, of Warren. who was present, was called on for his experience as one whe had been trying truck-farm- ing 10 q limited extent. Mr. Say age responded by telling the aud fence that he had found profit in raising beans, peas, tomatoes, &e., and shipping them by express, when he paid q S1.5o rate per hun dred, whereas if he could have SC cured carload rates, which Is B cents per hundred, his profit would have been immense. After the speeches and many questions were asked and answered the meeting adjourned, to meet with the Drew Go. Horticultural Society to-mor- row evening at o'clock, to de- termine what to plant and how much.

NJ M|N{S AT HAVANA so DECLARES THE SPANISH G0v- EMINENT AND OUR AGENTS
 CONCUR.
If This Statement Proves True, the Disaster to the Maine Was Due
 to Accident.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 26,- Things are looking much better about the navy department. Sec retary Long decided today to aban- don his proposed absence and was early at his desk. He said the pub- lie ought not to he under any mis- apprehension with regard to any naval movements, that so far they have mostly been ordinary dis po- sitions made from time to time. The telegraph brought news this morn ing of the arrival at Key West of the Detroit, from Mobile, and the Marblehead from New Orleans. It is again stated at the navy depart ment that the Montgomery has Lot yet received aay orders to proceed to Havana, and it is not decided yet when the orders will issue, if tt all. The attention of naval officers has been strongly attracted t. the state ment made by representatives of the Spanish government to the effect that there are no mines or topedues in Havana harbor. It can be said that this statement agrees exactly with inquiries under way for mon ths by agents of our government, for so far, il Is said, they have been unaa.e to find the slightest evidence of the existance of any plan of defence i'll the harb0r by means 0f mines or terpedoes, much less to locate them, Us reported, in some quarters. Of course to offset this statement, if it s to be acc4pte l as conclu siye this point, is almost certain to neg ative the supposition that the dis 1 aster resulted from other than acci- dental causes, as almost the unani- nous testimony of experts here, based on the history of torpedo
 work, is to the effect that no single torpedo of any known type, could
 have caused the terrific wreck of the Maine.
