Corbett Is Ambitious.

D. J. Tobin of San Francisco, who has
an option on the forthcoming cham
pionshp battle between Boxers Cor
bett and Jeffries, is sanguine he will
be able to bring about the meeting of
the men in that city He comes from
New York with high opinion of Cor
belts physical condition and of his am
bition to regain the title of champion.
"Corbett was never in better cond-
ton physically than at the present
time" said Mr.. Tobin. Persons who
profess to believe his days as a boxer
are over are greatly mistaken. His
work at present is only prel m nary TO
what he must go through as the date
for his meeting with Jeffres ap-
proaches. This time seems long way
off-September Is of next year-but his
work now, while regular and systemat
ic.. Is not severe. There is no reason
why he should not fight again. He is
young, ambitious, the cleverest Of box
ers, and is anxious to wipe out that
Carson defeat
"Corbett does not seek the champion
ship for any money he might make out
of it. His cafe on Broadway does a
business estimated at $500 day, with
expenses comparatively light The
place is the rendezvous of the best
known politicians in New York. 1t is
also the first place strangers in the
metropolis visit. His home is one OF
the most artistic in New York, as it

possd by Gov J. Hoge Tyler, and the
contest promises TO be the fiercest wagsd
for years within the Democratic party IN

ly assailed recently by opponents. who
charge him with being a lobbyist, and the
attorney for railway corporations. Today
John whitehead, a prominent politician,
and one of Senator Martins strongest ad-
herents, said that the Senator had au-

that the man who makes the statement
that he (Martinl ever lobbied for any bill

attorney for the Chesapeake and Chic
Railway for five counties, at an annual sal
airy Of sl.JG0. and that he resigned this
position upon his election to the Senate,
and has not since represented any client

THE WORK OF RECRUITING.
General Otis Cables That His Regi-
ments Are FiIIin; Rapidly

Recruiting for the volunteer regiments il
exceeding the expectations of the War De-
partment officials. Reports from General
Otis at Manila show that the regiments be-
ing organized there are rapidly filling up.
Each organization. including the volunteer
cavalry, has about one third of its quota
and recruits continue to apply for enlist
ment.
General Otis cabled the War Department
yesterday that Col. ]. Franklin Bell. COM
manding the Thirty-siXth Infantry. has
about 500 men; Colonel Wallace. of the
Thirty yseventh Infantry. who is recruiting
in the southern part of Luzon, has about
400 men. Colonel Lockett of the Eleventh
Cavalry. who is now enlisting men for his
regiment, reports TO General Otis that he
has received over 400 applications which
are coming in rapidly In closing his des-
patch, General Otis says: Might raise
here an additional regiment exclusive of
volunteers
The recruiting in this country took an
other jump Tuesday. The increase Mon
day was nearly 100 over that of SATURDAY
and Tuesdays returns show an increase OF
nearly 100 over Mondays enlistments. Th.
returns made public yesterday give the total
of Tuesdays recruiting as 61T. the number
enlisted Monday being 525. The aggregate
of all the enlistments up 10 Tuesday night
was 5,4O9 The Thirty-tirst regiment at
Fort Thomas, under Colonel Petit, has

A REPLY TO ENGLAND.
British Proposals in the boundary
Controversy Answered.

London. July 26.-An officer of the Co
lonial Office said this morning that the
Alaskan boundary question hinged on the
Interpretation OF the Anglo Russian treaty
of 1925 defining the boundary. He hoped
that the assertion that there would be On
early settlement Of the dispute was correct.

THE BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Better Prospects for an Agreement
in the Alaska Matter.


There were not wanting indications in
diplomatic circles yesterday to assure all
Interested parties that temporarily sat
isfactory agreement in the Alaskan bound
airy dispute is now in a fair way of being
reached. Officials in the State Department
seemed TO be satisfied with the prospects
of an early and reasonable settlement of
the controversy without resorting to either
of the arbitration or war-as
suggested by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his
reply to Sir Charles Tupper's recent in
fiammatory speech.
The departure of Reginald Tower, the
Charge dAfaires OF the British Embassy,
on an early train yesterday morning from
Washington for Newport, is interpreted as
furnishing convincing evidence that the
acute stage in the dispute precipitated by
Sir Charles Tupper's Incorporate utter
snces has happily been relieved, and that
the cordial relations between Great Britain
and the United States have been preserved
intact.
1t was remarked by at least one official
at the State Department yesterday that
the happenings of the past week have only
added fresh proof to the theory that the
two great nations Of the English-s speaking
race have at length arrived at that point
in their diplomatic history when even in
exciting periods and under forbidding con-
ditions, their representatives. refuse TO per-
nit the cordial inter-relations of the two
countries TO be sensibly weakened or i'm
periled By the clamor of certain unthinking
politicians venting their emotional theories.
The English and the American peoples
have been noted for their sterling common
sense" said an American diplomat yester-
day, and | take it that this incident is
only Il repeated notification to the world
at large that these two nations will never
permit themselves to be the victims of
imagined injustice or of Hotspur impet

Indianapolis. Jhly 2j.-Wi!liam J. Bryan
had an ovation when nc reached this ci;y
at $40 this evening. the Marion county
Democracy turning out to receive him
and a number OF prominent Democrats
from other parts Of the State being present.
So much has been said recently about
the abandonment OF the issue Of free silver
in the coming national campaign that
Democrats were anxious to see Mr.. Bryan
with a view of getting some expression
from him on the subject. Those who con-
versed with him early in the evening re-
port that he is very decided in his views
that the silver question should not be sub
ordinated to any other and that the Demo-
cratic party on any other issue would be
certain to lose largely to the Populist
party.
An hour after Mr. Bryan's arrival at
the hotel he held reception and some
two hundred Democrats called upon him
and were introduced Among them we're
all the nominees on the State ticket OF last
year and number Of State Senators ana
Representatives, judges Of courts, and
county and city functionaries from differ
ent parts of the State. Chairman Martin
of the State central committee. was pres
ent, and after the reception some OF the
more prominent Democrats went into con-
ference with him. 1t was the purpose OF
these to make full report of the condi-
tion Of the party in this State and get MI
Bryan's views upon The outlook elsewhere
and discuss with him the question of issues
in 1900.
This conference was private, and little
was allowed 10 leak out regarding the views
expressed. 1t was learned, however. that
Mr. Bryan regarded the outlook OF the
party as much better than it was three
years ago. and that he had confidence that
the questions involved in the acquisition
of new territory would bring to the Demo-
cratic party many German voters who left
it on account of the money question in
1896. his idea being that these men are
more opposed TO expansion than TO free

He Insists on UsurpinG the Duties
of n Hen.
PlainfieId, N J.. July 26.-Breeders and
fanciers OF chickens in Plainfeld are
greatly interested in the strange conduct
of black Spanish rooster that has taken
upon himself the duty of Matching a setting
of eggs. This freak is the property 'of Will
lard Ross, of Codington Avenue. Five
weeks ago the rooster. ordinarily a very
dignified fowl first showed a disposition
to set For over two weeks-eyery time
he visited the hennery-Mr. Ross drove
the rooster from the nest that he had
selected. The rooster showed all the per-
sistence and i'll temper of the setting"
hen. Ross efforts to dissuade the bird
from his purpose to usurp the functions
rightfully belonging to the hens of his
brood finally turned into desire to see
what the fowl would do if a setting of
eggs were placed under him. Consequently
nearly three weeks ago Ross selected thir-
teen eggs and placed them in the nest
which the rooster had signified his prefer
ence for. The rooster settled down to the
duty OF the gentler sex OF the brood with
a persistence which was quite astonishing
to Mr.. Ross and which has since become
the talk of the town, at least among those
who study and experiment in the chicken
line. Twice a day, as is the custom OF hens
while setting, the rooster leaves the nest
for a short time and struts about the yard
with all the pomp and swagger that was
his wont before he showed the desire to

BANK HAD VALENTINES NOTE.

Security Whatever.

New Brunswick N j.. July 26.-More
niisdeeds of Cashier George NJ. Valentine,
new undergoing a six-year sentence in
State prison fer embezzlement from the
Middlesex County Bank, of Perth Amboy,
continue to come to light 1t has been
found that the bank had notes of Cashier
Valentine amounting to s11, 1880, with alb
soiutely no security whatever. 1t is said
that one man owed the bank for notes ag-
gregating $4,000, the security fer which
is Eoperty said TO be worth only $4,000,
although the bank declares that it is worth
S120. COO
There are other notes Of the defaulting
cashier for $4,000. with the endorsement OF
his father, r. n. Valentine. There are
also notes of the value OF s13, $50 with Bay
State Gas stock. Standard Fireproofing
Company. and other stocks as collateral.
There is still another note for s31 100, the
security for which nobody seems TO know
anything about The ostensibIe security is
the stock of New Jersey Improvement
company. Lawyer James Parker says the
stock is not worth a cent. The bank has
a total of S145. .3Sl on notes.
Prosecutor John S. Voorhees,, who has
been subjected TO much criticism for per-
hitting Valentine to plead before the full
extent Of his peculaticns was known, made
the following statement yesterday:
Valentine came into my office and sur
rendered himself, plainly under keen
and remorseful sense of the enormity of
his offence. He confessed his crime and
when brought before the court q few DAYS
later he rendered plea of guilty. I never
heard of an instance in which such a plea
was refused. But suppose that, in violation
OF all usage, / had refused 10 accept the
plea and said No, you cannot plead
