L am not considering any such contin-
gency. 1t is Fitzsimmons and Corbett
or nothing, although if 1 cannot secure
this fight, 1 might offer a purse for
Corbett and Maher."
Regarding the battle ground, Mr..
Stuart said he had two places under
consideration-one in Nevada and one
about four hours ride from the main
land. somewhere in southern waters,
around the Gulf of Mexico The arti-
cles which will be submitted to Fitz-
simmons provide that Stuart and the
two principals are to select the referee
and Stuart announces fatty that he
prefers George Siler.

Charges of Bribery Against Members
of Legislature.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Jan. "A sensation
was created here this afternoon when
the New Mexican announced that
stacks OF subpoenas have been handed
to the United States marshal for wit
nesses residing in various parts of the
territory, ana wanted mere for the pur-
pose of investigating charges which, it
is claimed, have been presented of al
leeed bribery of members during the
sessions of the Thirty second legislative
assembly a year ago. 1t is held by the
United States district attorney that
members of a territorial legislature are
federal officials, and come under the
Jurisdiction of United States courts for
any breach OF the provisions of the
United States statutes, under sections
5, 451 and 5,501, thereof. 1t is said among
those subooenaed are several newspa-
per men, many eX-members of the leg
islative assembly, and number of ter
ritorial officials.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY,
NEW QUARTERS CHOSEN IN THE
JOINT BUILDING.
VIII Be Located In the Basement
The Change Decided Upon Yes
terday-Is Not One Favorable to
the Library.

The opposition of two officials in the
health department to the assigning of
quarters for the city library and free
reading room in the northwest section
on the second floor of the joint build
ing has triumphed, and the library's
quarters will be moved to the base
ment. In pursuance of the action of
the retired city council, the old Pioneer
collection of 10000 volumes and library
fixtures were moved to the city re-
corder's office on New Years day.
While the library officials were willing
to occupy only the recorders quarters
and Recorder Backman expressed his
wish for the board of health rooms, the
health commission and his clerk re-
fused to be assigned another suite. The
new arrangement, however, will give
the library the two large rooms, a
large vault and private office in the
basement, the expense of the second
move to be borne from the general and
not the library fund. The basement
will be fitted up acceptably for the
accommodation of the library, but the
quarters will not be as serViceable nor
as appreciative to the book repository's
and reading rooms patrons as would
have been the floor above, where are
natural light and dry air in abundance.
The work of preparing the new
quarters and erecting book shelves
will be commenced next week.
The change of quarters was decided
upon yesterday at a joint meeting of
the council committee ON library and
control of building. and the action will
be reported Tuesday evening to the
council for its ratification. The joint
committee consists of Mayor Clark and
Councilman Siddoway, Fernstrom,
Diehl and Howe, the latter two, with
Siddoway, being of the library COM
