CoRDErT STOPS TRAINING.
SECS No Chance of n Fight with Mccoy at
Buffalo.

AsBuRY PARK. Sept. 25.-Corbett and his
retinue OF trainers broke camp this afternoon
and left for New York. The ex-champion said
that he was tired Of training when there were no
positive assurances In sight that his proposed
fight with Mccoy will come of. Corbett had
intended remaining here until the second week
in October. and 1t was q surprise to his friends
when he announced his determination OF get
ting out. Before leaving Corbett said:
Il will not be q party to any'deception perpe-
trated by Mccoy and the Hawthorne Club. I
believe both are deceiving the public. Last
night I received q letter from a friend in Buffalo
saying that efforts are being made to induce
the authorities to permit my hight with Mccoy
to proceed, far enough to, get about $4,000
Kid and me on hand. and when we start to
box it Is understood that the police will Inter-
fere the same as was done in the case OF
LaViRne and Erne. Such u fasco would prob
ably make me $4,000 richer, but 1 am not
after money made by such methods. Mccoy
never intended to fight. but / want to demon
atrate that i can whip any man in the world"
While Corbett is Disguised with the present
turn .of affairs. he has hopes that either Jeflries
or Sharkey. will accept the offer made by SOW
eral reputable clubs. The former champion
has been advised that no legal contract exists
for q eight on Oct. Is. and says that the Haw-
thorne people will have a hard time getting any
forfeit money from him. Corbett will be be-
hind LRyigne when he fights Erpe on Wednes-
day night. and he expects to find Mccoy there.

Red Cross convention of 1864 TO the con-
duct OF naval war Following the e1-
ample SET by France and Germany in

United States to those additional ar

" and cordially accepted by Us and
simultaneously by Spain.
This government feels a keen satisIae-
ton in having thus been enabled TO
testify its adherence to the br0adast
principles of humanity, even amidst the
clash Of war. and it is to be hoped that
the extension of the Red Cross COM
pact to h0stilities by sea as we'll as on
land may soon become an accomplished
fact through the general PRONUNCIATION
OF the additional naval Red Cross ar
ticles by the maritime powers now par

The important question of the claim
of Switzerland TO the perpetual cantoual
allegiance of American citizens Of Swiss
origin has not made hopeful progress
toward solution, and controversies in
this regard still continue.

the occasion Of controversy with the

An acute difference arose in the case
Of the Mexican demand for the delivery
OF Jesus Guerrero. who having led
