Champion Fitzsimmons promised to have
something important to say about his fu-
ture plans He was to have issued a,
statement, but since then has come to the
conclusion not to. When asked today
whether he would meet Tom Sharkey the
champion replied:
II don't know: may and may not.
Why don't those fellows cover my $500

mean business, l will give the first man a
chance. If Mitchell can fight, with his
many years behind him. I'll fight him.

knock the latter's block off.

Where is Tommy Ryan. I'll box him,
now that Mccoy has refused to shape it
with me. Why doesn't some club offer us
an incentive? See how quick l will grasp

while, you know
Fitzsimmons said in conclusion that if
he ever agrees to box either Sharkey, Cor
bett or Mitchell. no limited round bouts
will do. 1T must be either TO a finish or

SPAIN IN HISTORY.
frot. Priests Lecture before the
Geographic Society.

Prof. Priests Lecture before the
Geographic Society.
The extended notice given the series
of lectures on Spain and her people de-
livered during the past few months by
Prof. w. E. Priest, of the Washington
High School faculty. made his talk to the
Geographic Society at Columbian Uni
versity Hall last night one of the fea-
lures of the society's Winter course
Even this interest WAS heightened by the
announcement early in the evening that.
on the conclusion of the lecture, an in
formal reception would be rendered the
stan officers accompanying Gen. Calixto
Garcia.
Prof. Priest, in preparing his talk for
the Geographic Society, developed. first,
the growth of the Spanish people in
Europe, tracing to geogra phic environ
ment and contact With other nations the
various attributes of the national char
acter. With the spread of Christianity
came the spirit of war for the church to
which Spain owes the. most glorious pc
riod of her history. This was followed
by an era of conquest where the Span-
irds seemed to gain much but actually
acquired little.
1t was at this period that Spanish ex-
petitions to America first became impor-
tant, and to this period is due the char
acter of the Spanish civilization known to
America and the West Indies The lee
tire was copiously illustrated, with magic
lantern pictures.
Those TO whom the society did honor
afterward were Gen. Gomez. Col. Sam
gully, Senior Lanuza, Senor Gonzalo de
ouesada. and Secretary AIbertini. The
reception was quite informal.
