JFFFRIEs CHALLENGES FITz.
The Champions Forfeit of $4,000
Covered in New York.

Covered ia New York.
New York. Jan. 21.-There was more
animated conversation by several of the
heavyweight pugiIists yesterday. Jeffries,
through his manager. W. A. Brady, COW
cred the S2500 forfeit posted by Bob Fitz-
simmons here some time ago with a carti-
fed check. As FitZsimmons. in a signed
statement sent out from Toledo. declared
that he would meet JelfTies if Sharkey did
not make a match within TWO weeks,
Brady thought il best TO clinch matters
by getting his money up. Jeffries will
agree 10 any terms that the champion may
name, time. place. side bets and purse
providing the largest one offered is ac-
cepted.
As Sharkey cannot make q match under
the terms dictated by Fitzsimmons, who
bars the LenoX Club, it seems reasonable
10 lcok for a fight between Bob and the
: big Californian. Corbett also broke into
the game again by covering Fitzsimmons'
deposit, at the same time declaring that
he wanted q fight under any terms. But
as Jeffries got TO the line first he has first
call on FitZsimmons. The Lenox Club
has decided TO bar out Maher in future
because he has refused to meet Jeffries
except for a S20oG0 purse.
Toledo. Ohio. Jan. 21.-Fitzsimmons
learned yesterday that JefIries had chal-
lenged him. He said:
! have posted money in New York City ! am
the champion and am not supposed TO issue cilal-
/ lenges To anybody. but ! wish to go on record as
/ saving that | viii accept challenge from any,
! body who has got nerve enough 10 put up li,
money with which TO back up his challenge.

Realizing that to assent to such con-
ditions would be contrary to the presi-
dents instructions, General BI<s-ke has
telegraphed to Secretary Alger the
facts in the case, and asked for de-
cision. The secretary, in turn, has
communicated with the president and
asked for instructions, for he feels that
he is not authorized to amend or revoke
an order originally emanating directly
from the president. That is the state
of the case at present. The president
has not yet notified the war depart

National Expansion Is Discussed BIZ
Reformed Presbyterians.
PREACHERS GET EXCITED
AROUSED BY REFERENCE IN
GLOWING TERMS TO WAR.
One Elder Declared That Uniformed
Men Are Disgrace to Any Chris
tan Country, and That It Is Time
We Learned TO Civilize Men With
out Killing Them.

New York, May ia somewhat
heated debate over national expansion
marked the second day of the annual
session of the Reformed Presbyterian
church synod, held in this city today.
The Rev. S. NJ. Killough of Madrid, N.
Y, in his report of the committee on
signs of the times, referred III glowing
terms to the recent war, and of the
great results it had brought to the
country. Elder William DEAFNESS of
Cincinnati opposed the report, saying:
ANY man who reads approvingly of
Dewey'S doingS or those of his fleet
should learn something about the first
principle of Christianity. Uniformed
men are a disgrace to any Christian
country, and it is time we learned to
civiliZe men without killing them. This
is religious body, and we should not
set our approval on any war, the JUS
LITIGATION of which is in grave doubt. We
should approve no war except one
brought in strict self-defense. 1 move
that all reference to the war be elm
mated from the proceedings of the
synod
Then followed a report by the Rev
w. H Galley, fr the Philadelphia pres
bytery, suggesting the giving of thanks
to God for the victories of the United
States on land and sea. A lengthy de-
bate followed, and Mr.. DEAFNESS moved
that the reports be ''purged of all poll
tics and poetry"
The reports were accepted, but the
secretaries were authorized to strike
out anything not bearing on synod af-
fairs.
