CORBETT.JEFFREYS FIGHT.
Practically Settled 1t VIII Come OFF
In san:Francisco.

New York. February San Francisco
will be the scene Of the Corpett-J effreys
tight. W. A. Brady, and George Con-
sidins met again today and the question
was practically settled. Considine re-
newed the offer of sixty per cant Of the
gross receipts on behalf Of the Seaside
Athletic club and Brady refused to accept
IL. The latter then declared the offer Of
tile National Athletic club Of San Fran
cisco was the most liberal of all received
and 1t would be accepted or everything
declared of. Corbstt's manager finally
consented provided the National Athletic
club would immediately deposit $500 as
guarantee OF good faith and advance
$500 to defray tie ex champions expenses
to the Pacific coast.
Brady said he believed there would be
no objection and promised to communi-
cats by wire with the club officials In
San Francisco. He Is to give a definite
answer tomorrow.
Brady promised not to send Jeffries 20

Another Conference Is
Likely.
Taylor Advised BY Constituents
To Fight 1t Out.

Louisville, KY, February $50 far as
the situation In the controversy over the
goyernorship Is concerned. there was
practically NO change today. Gov. Tay-
lor has not yet signed the Louisville
agreement and although the general
opinion Is that he will ultimately do
so, the probabilities are that he will not
sign 1t until tomorrow, II then. Gov.
Taylor refused absolutely today to make
any statement In regard to his probable
action In the matter, and during most
Of the day declined to receive callers ex-
cept his legal advisers.
This afternoon Gov. Taylor sent tele-
grams to ex-Gov. Bradley. Augustus 4.
Wilson, Judge Barr and Attorney
Fairleigh, asking them to come TO Frank
fort for conference tonight. Mr.. Will
son was the only one to arrive and short
ly after 8 O'Clock tonight he, with Judge
Yost and Gen. Dan Lindsay called on the
governor and went into conference
with him. Before 9 DING into the confer
enoe Judge Yost stated that he did not
expect any action to tie taken tonight.
Up to . late hour no announcement
had been made as to the result Of the con-
ference. Every section Of the Louisville
agreement was gone over carefully, but 1t
IL understood that the principal was that
section hearing on the passage Of new
election law. The repeal of the Goebei
law 10 the one thing most strongly de-
sired by Gov. Taylor and, as the lang
uags of the Louisville agreement 10 oon-
sidersd by him too vague as regards this
matter 1t Is considered that the clause
will be made more specific before he
signs the agreement.
This would involve further delay as 1t
would necessitate further conference
between the Republican and Democratic
leaders. Another cause for Gov. Taylor's
delay In regard to the agreement Is said
10 bs the cry OF victory" aud "surren-
der" sent up by the Democra The
agreement as prssen ted to Gov. Taylor Is
underst God to be somewhat different from
the published abstracts, in. tnat the
clause regarding the election law and
one or two ether matters IL much more
specific than IL Is generally understood
TO be, though ttlll not strong enough to
suit him. The rank and file Of the Re-
publican party apparently believe there
IL some foundation for the claims set up
by the Democrats. Scores OF telegra ms
poured in on Gov. Taylor urging him
not to sign the agreement but to main
tain his present position and await de-
velopments.

defeat Of Mr.. Clark for the Senate by
getting some one t, 60 to Mr.. CLARK for
money and failing to accomplish this
purpose to put the money mp himself
for an exposure"
This, 1t was claimed by counsel, was
the scheme carried ont by Mr.. DAILY
through Mr.. Whitsside. Conference
Chairman Chandler announced that the

He had been one Of Mr.. Clark's active
agents In the senatorial campaign. Mr..

first asked concerning his engagement Of
Mr.. Stiff to examine the title of the prop
erty own I'd By II. W. Mclaughlin Of the
Montana legislature, which property
WAS afterward purchased By Mr.. Clark.
through Mr.. Biokford. The latter said IL
WAS sn ordinary business transaction.
MIR. Bickford said that he had never told
MIR. stir that there was an understand
ing that Mclaughlin should vote for
MIR. Clark for the Senate. He had at
one time prior to the Mclaughlin tran.
saotion a talk with Mr.. Stiff concerning
the senatorial election. ~ asked him
how he felt toward Mr.. Clark" said Mr..
Bickford, land he replied that he knew
Of no reason why he could not vote for
Mr.. Clark II he should he the nominee
OF the Democratic oaucns. MIR. Stih told
me that he had had aspirations for the
district judgeship of that district and
said that he wanted to 30 shape his
course as a member Of the house as not to
injure the chances for his nomination
two years hence. I then thought him
friendly to MIR. Clark"
The witness denied that he had sug.
gested to MIR. STIFF that II he would sup
port MIR. Clark for the Senate. the latter
would appoint him as attorney to repre-
ssnt some Of his interests. A recess was
here taken.
