FITZ AFTER JEFFRIEs.


ssLanky Bob Wants q Fight Before
Horton Law Expires.
Bob F1tzsimmons has challenged James ].
Jeffries for a fight to be held August 81,
and has posted 81, 500 as a forfeit. Fitz-
simmons says that Jeffrdes must meet him
on that date or admit he Is afraid Of him.
Jeffrfes, who was at Derby, Conn.,, Sat
urday, was seen there and said relative to
the challenge: II have defeated Fitzsim-
mons decisively once, and think can do
it again. but think 1t would be poor bus
mess policy to fight right away. for the
fight going public needs a rest. Still. I
shall allow no engagements to interfere
with my championship battles, but re-
serve the right to set aside time to train. 3"
Fifteen minutes after the Fitzstmmons-
Sharkey fight Friday night Fitzsimmons,
the winner returned to his home at Ber-
gen Beach and went to dance with his
wife. Saturday morning he went for a
stroll along the board walk near his home,
followed by large crowd. He showed no
sign whatever % having been engaged in a
glove contest.
Sharkey went to his home in Sheepshead
Bay after the fight. He showed q small
cut and a little swell about the face.
Fitzsimmons says he will follow his wife's
advice in the future. Had he done 50 be-
fore, he said, he would never have lost the
championship. Mrs. Fftz says her advice
is for Robert to quit the ring and go into
business, but she will not oppose his meet
ing Jeffries if he has set his heart on 1t.
Many people believe that Fitz and Shar-
key divided equally the purse Of $50. 900,
and that Fitz and Rhulin did likewise.
Some go so far as to say that these facts
may have bearing on the ease with which
Fitz knocked out his opponents.
Jeffries announced last night that he
would cover F1tzsimmons' forfeit for d
fight.

BRYAN'S NEGLECTED PORCH.
Crowds Do Not Go to Lincoln as HOps
fully Expected.


According to an Omaha special in to-
days New York Times, Lincoln people
have begun to believe that W. ]. Bryan's
recently constructed platform porch Is not
destined to be used very much during the
campaign as a speaking rostrum, and that
the throngs of admirers who were expected
to come to Lincoln because of his in
creased popularity" will not materialize.
Before the plans of the campaign ma
tured 1t was announced that Mr.. Bryan
had decided to spend the major portion OF
his time at home, preferring to meet his
constituents at his own threshold rather
than undergo the hardships OF cross-coun-
try campaigning. 1t was heralded far and
wide that this year Mr.. Bryan's friends
could come to Lincoln and here be greeted
in a more digniffed manner than they
were four years ago. and on the strength
of the numerous announcements the pro-
.prietors of Lincoln hotels began to prepare
for the crowds
The Lincoln and Lindell Hotels were re-
modelled in anticipation of big increase In
business because of the magnetism and
popularity of the Lincoln presidential can
didate, and Bryan button vendors began to
pour into the city on every train. Up to
date Mr.. Bryan has delivered only three
speeches from his celebrated porch. Two
of these We're addressed to local Bryan Or
CARNATIONS, and the third to a delegation
of not over twenty-five persons who stop
ped in Lincoln a few hours en- route to
Montana, from the Kansas City conven-
ton.
There have been no excursions of people
to see Bryan, and as far as can be learned
none is expected. Taking all Of these facts
into consideration, 1t Is not surprising to
the people Of Lincoln that Mr. Bryan has
reoeded from his former decision and In
tends to devote most Of his time from now
until election on the road.
Reports of decidedly encouraging ma
ture for the republican forces are brought
to Lincoln from all over the state. and es-
pecially from nearby counties. 1t is be-
lieyed that the republican, majority in the
first congressional district will be in
creased to a considerable extent on all
tickets. r
