No Congress for many years has
seen the scope of it's activities so sud-
denly widened as has the 56th, which
met at noon on Monday. The per-
manent acquisition of Hawaii, Porto
Rico, Guam and the Philippines and
the temporary occupation of Cuba
have created a field OF colonial legis
lation almost as broad and as varied
as that already claimed by domestic
problems. In shaping colonial, as well
as domestic. policies the new Congress
will find an outlet for energy and an
opportunity for distinction granted to
few of it's predecessors.

"Now, what about the length of the
fight?' queried Julian. I'VE want it 20
rounds or more if it takes place in this
state, and to a finish if it takes place
outside Of the state of New York"
O'ROurke meditated a moment, and
then replied:
There is no limit to the Number Of
rounds that can be fought under the
Horton law, but no fight has taken place
since it was passed of more than 25
rounds, and l don't want to strain the
limit"

Eyes, he is. There's no denying that"
answered O'Rourke. w
Then ensued quite a discussion, which
ended by it being understood that the
articles of agreement should rea that if
the contest took place in the state Of
New York, Is rounds should be it's limit,
but if it took place elsewhere it should, be
to a finish. IL.
Then came the question of where the
fight should take place. Julian insisted
that it should take place before the club
offering the largest amount of money for
it, which offer should be backed up by
the immediate deposit of the amount of
the purse in full to guarantee it's genuine
ness.
This was agreed to by O'Rourke, al
though Julian had said that Fitz would
not fight before the LenoX club. This
statement caused a little washing of
dirty linen on both, sides. O'Rourke ac-
cused Fitzsimmons OF having said that he
would not fight before New Workers,
which statement Julian Indignantly de-
nied.' Each manager accused the others

ANOTHER COCKTAIL CLAIMANT,

Condolences of invention are so gen.
eral as to be gradually growing positively
commonplace. The two-fold discovery of
Neptune would hardly move us at all to-
day, because, if the truth were to be told,
we are always skeptical Of the success
full man. That is why we side with Col
umbus against the gentleman who christ
ened our continent, and why we side with
all the Fries and Olafs against Columbus.
1t is also why we will all be glad to hail
as genuine the latest to another
much disputed philanthropy. The child
rem of Col. Carter-not of Gainesville, but
Just as good-of Culpeper Court House,
Va, declare that to them as the heirs of
their father belongs the honor of invent
ing the cocktail, and this is how it all
happened: Near Culpeper Court House
there used to stand an old inn, built to
initiate the famous rOadhouses Of Eng
land and bearing the stored sign of
Cock and Bottle" The former word in
the old vernacular stood for the tap. The
point is that the man who got the last
drink and the muddy portion of the tap
was said to have received the Cocktail"
Col. Carter was once subjected to this in
dignity and threw the stuff upon the floor.
"Heah aftah," he said, "1ll drink cock

faxed with Hall in Australia, but offered
to bet 81 900 that no man could prove that
Fitz had been anything but as fair and
as square as a die since his arrival in
America, ten years ago.
Though there vas considerable bitter
ness, sarcasm, and a good deal of truth
in what each said Of the others principal,
neither manage lost his temper. In the
language of the street gamins, Zach ma
was "jollying' his opponent. The ques-
ton of awarding the contest was finally
settled by the agreement that bids should
be sent to the papers in New York city
and the most advantageous should be ac-
cepted by the managers.
So far had been wonderfully plain sal
ing and those skeptics who before the
meeting We're willing to bet that no
match would be made were glad their
offers had not been accepted when sudden
ly a rock was encountered which wrecked
all immediate hope of a match. Julian
demanded that two weeks be given the
clubs of the country to bid for the match,
and that the contest take place four
weeks after the acceptance of the best
proposition. O'Rourke Immediately de-
INJURED to this, saying, "Sharkey shan't
fight before the first of November" The
ensued a rather sharp and acrimonious
debate. w amt a-going to let Sharkey
go around the country making easy mon
ey on the strength Of a match with Fitz-
simmons" said Julian.
THAT is just what we want to GET re-
Joined O'Rourke. We're after all the
easy money in sight. You talk about the
championship. I don't give a cent about
the championship"
"Oh, you don't" snarled Julian. you
would rather make bum matches with
Charlie Mitchell. The fact of the natter
is you're afraid to have Sharkey meet
FitZ."

After all who could had found chairs, the
remainder of the aSSemblage ranged
themselves along the walls. Julian OPEN
ed the ball by calling for refreshments,
which We're brought in the shape of

been Alphabetically warmed, the prefec-
tos(?) were lit, and then O'Rourke sug-
gested me as the chairman, Che meant

post and Ed Cole vas chosen in my stead.
He took the chair at the head of a table
and producing paper and pencil got ready
to record the proceedings. Julian sat at
the south side of the room, O'Rourke i'm
mediately opposite him in a rocking
chair.
"Well, I'm here to match Fitz to fight
Sharkey," said Julian.
"All right responded O'Rourke, Tn
here to do business for Sharkey."
How do you want to fight?" asked
| Julian. "Fitz is the champion and he in
tends to dictate the terms as the cham
| pions did before him. We want to fight
Marquis of Queensbury rules, no hitting
in the clincheS or in the breakaWayS."
"That isn't in accordance with the
Qu~eensberry rules replied O'Rourke
1.-The true Queensberry rules allow a mar
to hit another as long as he is or his toes
even if ne is hanging over the ropes. You
don't mean to say that if Sharlley has
Fitzsimmons around the body with ont
hand and has the other free that he can
hit with the free hand?'
Yes, l do" was Julian's answer. Fit
won't stand for anything like that"

Macon Mccormick in Boston Travellers:
Inc meeting OF the managers of Bob Fitz-
and Tom Sharkey, at the Hotel
Bartholdi, Thursday afternoon, for the
purpose of not making a match between
their principals, was one worthy of the
pen and pencil satirist and caricaturist
of Thackerey's ability. Tom O'Rourke
was the first of the gerical duo to
show. He was promptly on hand at the
appointed time. 4 o'clock. While waiting
for Martin Julian, who came from Mil
Waukee and whose train was a trifle late
owing to the Attic storm, then at it's
worst, O'Rourke nonchalantly informed
the two dozen sporting scribes in waiting
that he had matched Sharkey to box
Charley Mitchell before the B~olingbroke
club in London, on the 18th of May, for a
purse of 81, 900, (two thousand guineas,
yeh know. Tom never batted an eye as
he made this statement. The Boiling

and after he and O'Rourke had had a

place in November, and put up a $40, 900
forfeit with you that Sharkey wins. In
the meantime Fitzsimmons can fight JEFF
fries or anybody else he wants to, and
whether he wins or loses Sharkey will
fight him in November"
Julian would not entertain this idea,
but steadfastly and positively said that
Sharkey must fight Fitz within four
weeks of the acceptance of the clubs
proposition. ORourke finally agreed to
fight on the first of October, but Julian
would have his way or none at all. Turn
ing quickly to Secretary Cole, he said:
THE Sharkey match is off. Now l am
ready for any one else" At this little
KID Eagen, who was present on behalf of
Jeffries, spoke up, saying. in a mild voice:
Il am here on behalf of Jim J%effrieS, who
has $500 up as a forfeit"
rs it in the form of a check or cash?"
demanded Julian.
Its a check"
Can you cash it today?" asked Julian.
I'm not prepared to say that" replied
Eagen. I'll telegraph to Jeffries, and I
feel sure that I'll be prepared to cash it
in the morning.
A right replied Julian, and then he
asked: Are you willing that Jeffries
shall fight in accordance with the articles
of agreement l have dictated for Shar-
key?'
Yes" was Eagen's answer. "Any rules
and time that will suit Fitz will suit Jeff
ries."
In accordance with this agreement it is
now understood that Jeffries and Fitz-
simmons are matched. Though there
may be a sequel which may entirely
change the aspect of affairs.
Mayor Garter Harrison, of Chicago,
having banned Corbett and Sharkey,
from boxing in the Windy City, on the
ground that they were sluggers and ia
kris, their managers must look elsewhere
for a place to bring them together, and
| there is a prospect that they may meet
in the Arena in Philadelphia. Mayor Har-
rlson may know a lot about politics in
and about Chicago, but what he doesn't
know about boxing records would make a
big book. Corbett and Sharkey have
twice met in the ring, and a black eye is
the sum total of the apparent injuries re-
ceived by both in those encounters. I
think the Chicago mayor is more intent
in preventing a certain opposing Chicago
