A DIZZY STORY
That wheeling is to be the American
Pugilistc Mecca Published in a
Now York Sporting Paper.

That Wheeling is to be the American
Pugilistic Mecca Published in
New York Sporting Paper.
The New York Telegraph. paper de-
voted to sport, contained an article un-
der a Pittsburgh date on Thursday, to
the effect that wheeling would soon be-
come the Mecca Of promoters Of boxing,
and that In this city would be erected
large fstlc arena on similar lines to
the olympic club, in New orleans, and
the coney Island club, for the purpose
of holding the big championship con-
tests. It was said that eastern sport
ing men had their eyes on Wheeling
since the repeal Of the Horton law, BY
the New York legislature. Dan A. Stu
art of Texas. we'll known to all follow
ers OF pugillsm. was mentioned as the
man back Of the scheme. Incidentally
wheeling was rated as wide open"
town, and the Telegraph said Pitts
burgh sports, among them, Buck"
Connolly, were in hopes of Wheeling be-
ing selected as the spot for the big
fights.
When shown the article last night,
the Metropolitan club officials
nut no faith In 1t. Oscar
Gardner said that when he was
last in New York, he was Intercepted
about wheeling by Tom o'Rourke, AMI
on hearing that finish fights had been
pulled Off in Wheeling, the man who
pushed to the front George Dixon, joe
Walcott and Tom sharlsey, remarked:
wheeling is pretty good town. then
He asked about the seating capacity OF
the Metropolitan club house, adding
that on account OF the repeal of ths
Horton law, Wheeling would stand
good chance of being the battle ground
for the leading lights Of the ring, anu
oscar told him that the capacity Of the
club house, at Fulton, was to be iu-
creased In September so as to be in line
for contests OF national interest Oscar
is Of the opinion that his conversation
with o'Rourke formed the basis of the
Telegraphs story.
Other members of the local club wssa
Just a little bit afraid that march
might have been stolen on them, but
they said the proposed scheme could not
be 20 II Buck" Connolly was to be
behind it, for his prestige hereaoouts Is
not of the shining order. The Tele'
graphs story spoke of u piece of real
estate in suburban Wheeling being pur-
chased, and that the plans for the new
club were in the hands of an architect
in the National Exchange bank build
ing, evidently referring to Architect
Harry s. Torney. Mr., Forney could not
be seen last night.
In quarters other than the Melropoh-
tan club. It was asserted last night that
eastern sporting men contemplate pull
ina on the observation-disclosures hSht

LIBERAL 4 ATTACKS BITTER ~ i:

LONDON, Jan. 81 The London press
Is unanimous in criticism Of the weak
defense Of the ministers to the bitter at.
tacks Of the opposition in both houses
Of parliament. Not one Of the speakers
is considered to have risen to.a height
betitting the gravity Of the situation.
While Lord Salisbury professed ignor-
ance regarding the Beer strength and
ornaments Mr.. Balfour and Lord Lands.
downe declared that these were accu-
rately known. Not one of the minis
tiers had word Of enlightenment to Of
fer regarding either the past Or the fu,
ture and the leaders of the opposition,
while perfectly ready to attack and crit
icize the government, had no suggestion
to advance matters IN South Africa nor
I'll alternative policy to expound. ".
Mr.. Chamberlain preserved a discreet
silence, though throughout the Speeches
of Sir Henry Campbell. Zimmerman and
Mr.. Balfour he r. Z. =.
Displayed Unusual Excitement,
embarrassing both by frequent conf
ments. He kept turning towards Mr..
Bal1our Gur1ng Slr henry speech Wlth
suggestions for argument to which Mr..
Bafour did not seem to respond with
much enthusiasm.
Mr.. Balfour's speech was repetition,
Of his rather ffippant 'orsltions outside:
the house. LORD Salisbury was pale and
looked careworn, showing traces Of his
recent bereavement. Lord Lansdowne
seemed much depressed.
Lord Rosebery's speech was the only
one which made strong impression
and it is interpreted in many quarters to
indicate readiness in the event of a
change of ministry to assume the bur
dens Of the premiership. His remarks
were uttered with great force and
earnestness. He demanded Of the gov
eminent what it was going to do and
added that the country would shrink
from no sacrifice which the burning
emeruency might demand. - = y

MODELLING THE FLEET.

precautionary Measures Taken by the
British Cabinet,
LONDON, Jan. Silt is now known
that the cabinet devoted much Of its dis
otssion on Saturday to the mobilization
OF the fleet. Nothing was settled except
a measure Of further security to the
hot me coasts has been obtained by the
naval preparations and that the Eighth
division should not be sent to South
Africa. The admiralty issued orders
that the Channel squadron, instead Of
leaving Portland this week for Gibraltar
as previously directed, shall assemble on
Feb. off Eddystone and Bantry for IL
fortnight's exercise off the Irish coast,
thus keeping in home waters for time.
: This decision to delay the Eighth divi-
sion at time when renlforcements are
SO urgently required may mean only
that transports are not yet available and
that the 80
= ! Division May Yet Embark
when the shipping is available. Their
detention, if such a course was deter
mined upon, would be of the utmost inl-
portance. There is nothing in the intel
igence possessed by the public to cause
the cabinets prolonged discussion Of
this natter and the inference is that the
feet may be- modified as a general
warning to other countries to keep their
hands off the Transvaal situation or
that the ministry may have definite
knowledge that the neutral powers pur-
pose to take advantage elsewhere while
England is busy in South Africa. One
thing is certain-1O,0 900 men all ready
90 to South Africa are detained for
reasons Of which the public has no
knowledge. ? ~, .
. There is talk of AZ military battalions
being embodied These are all Of the
militia not previously warned. A sharp
lookout is being kept on volunteers for
