other one is a western affair and the

member of it.

CROWD TO SEE BRYAN.
Crush Of New York Democrats
at the Club Where He Dined.

New York, Jan. 24.-William J. Bryan
took breakfast at the Hoffman House
yesterday with a number of free silver
and single tax leaders.
About noon DR.. Levson. of Brooklyn,
an anti-imperialist, called with two
Filipinos, but Mr.. Bryan refused to see
them.
Mr.. Bryan's callers were nearly all
silverites. The gold Democrats held
aloof
Last night Mr.. Bryan dined at the
Democratic club as the guest of Presi-
dent John w. Keller, with IL others.
The club house was crowded from 5
o'clock. The fact that Col. Bryan was
to be a guest at the club caused the
seats in the general dining room on the
third floor to be at a premium. Most of
the tables in the general dining room
were taken possession of as early as 5
O'Clock Some of the club members ate
two dinners and drank twice as much
wine as they wanted, waiting for the
distinguished Nebraskan to arrive. The
rooms and the corridors of the club
were thronged long before Mr.. Bryan
arrived.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied to the
club by James S. Oliver, sergeant-at-
arms of the national Democratic COM
mittee and Ex-Governor HOgg, OF Tex
as. Some one called for three cheers for
Mr. Bryan and they were given. The
crowd in the corridor was so great that
the doorman had some difficulty in
making way for Mr.. Bryan and the
others. President John w Keller OF
the club, pushed his way forward and
grasped Mr.. Bryan by the hand.
There was a crush in the dining room
and many persons were standing. The
table at which the IA were to sit down
was near the Fifth avenue front. There
were other tables all about it all
thronged with prominent members eff
the club. When MIR. Bryan entered the
brilliantly lighted room there was much
applause. There were no decorations.
Those at the table of honor were:
John w. Keller, w. J. Bryan, Maurice
F. Holahan, Ex-Governor Hogg, Judge
James A. O'Gorman, o. H. P. Belmont.
Norman e. Mack, John Whalen, John
F. Carroll, Thomas F. Grady, Bernard
j. York, Andrew Freedman, DR.. J. 3.
Cosby and w. L. Brown.
There was a running fire of CONVERSE
ton on all sides of the table Senator
Grady and Mr.. Bryan set all the guests
at ease by telling some funny stories.
and there seemed to be a comradery of
the IA diners. For a little over an
hour Col. Bryan and his fellow diners
at the little table ate and drank. Just
as the last course had been finished
Mayor Van Wyck entered the room,
jostled his way over to the table and

In Haste.
While q Waiter " no Interfered

New York, Jan. 24-Bob Fitzsim-
mons. the prize fighter, was seated at
the oyster counter in the cafe Of the
Bartholdi hotel last night when he was
approached by Harvey Norwood, a
young man about town. who some time
ago offended the lanky athlete. Bob
lives at the Bartholdi, and was willing
away few moments eating clans.
Norwood came up to him and started to
say something when Fitz motioned him
away. Norwood then leaned over and
whispered something in a low tone to
Fitz and walked away. Iitz turned
with a look of surprise on his face and
started to follow Norwood
well, of all the impudence I ever
heard from a four-fushins dog, your
crack is the limit" said F'itz to Nor
wood, who had seated himself in a
chair at a table.
Norwood started to get up, but F'itz
curled a right hook around him, catch
ing him on the jaw with a force that
made his teeth rattle. Once started,
the pugilist could not stop, and he
landed several blows on Norwood 3
face. A waiter went up to F'itz and
caught hold of his arm. He picked him
self up u or IA feet away. badly
bruised waiter. The interruption gave
Norwood a chance to get away. He tore
through the ladies' restaurant, which
was packed with an after rheater sup
per crowd, and in his haste to get to
a door overturned chairs filed with
costly wraps, silk hats and satin-lined
coats, to say nothing Of the collisions
he had with tray-laden walters. F'itZ
was hot-footed after him, but Norwood
reached the door safely ana got away.
Fitz returned to his CLAIMS and the
almost even tenor of his way.
Il came very near losing my temper
that time" F'itz said alphabetically. IT
didn't want to hit him hard. That's the
worst of being a fighter. A man. IN
suits you, and you can't cut loose and
fight him like any other man would, be-
cause then people begin to talk of bru-
tally. That fellow haunts me all the
time. and has been Fostering me for
months. but I'll bet be will let me
alone now"
Just what Norwood said to Fitz the
pugilist would not say.

When the diners arose the party pro-

line was formed and President Keller
introduced callers who shook hands
with his guest. Nearly all the heads of
the departments of the city We're rep
resented.
After all had shaken hands Mr.. Bryan
stood talking with Mayor Van Wyck.
The crowd gathered in the parlor hop
ing that a speech was to be made.
At few minutes past 10 o'clock Mr..
Bryan complained of a headache and
was driven to his hotel.
After Mr.. Bryan had left, ex-Gover-
nor Hogg said:
This shows that there is no dissen-
sion. The club has given Mr.. Bryan a
royal reception. OF course he is here
not as a guest of the club, but you can
see that he is welcomed by all the
members
Many of the members declared that
the reception gave decided emphases
to the fact that the protest of Doyle,
Fox and Roosevelt did not represent
the sentiment of the members of the
club as a whole.
Keller said that he was gratified with
what had passed.

coRBETT TRAINING HARD.
Pugilist Expects to Reduce His Pres
ent Weight, 1873 Pounds.

New York, Jan. 24.-James J. Cor
bett is a pretty busy man these days
preparing for his championship battle
with Jim Jeffries March Is. The former
champion is doing his work at Lake
wood, where he has fitted up fine train
ing quarters among the pines. He is
working as he has never worked be-
fore, and if conscientious training goes
for anything the Californian should en-
ter the ring in pretty fair shape.
1t is the general impression that Cor
bett cannot get back into his old form.
but the Californian himself does not
expect any difficulty in training down
to championship condition, He has a
great deal Of confidence in his ability to
score a victory over Jeffries. Corbett is
satisfied with the result of his two
weeks active training, and says if this
rapid Improvement continues he will be
prepared to put up the greatest fight
of his career.
At present Corbett weighs 1873 pounds,
but he expects to work off at least eight
or ten pounds within the next few
weeks. This will be done gradually.

calls for a salary to the wizard of
$4,000 a year. In addition to this
Sehaefer has a contract with big bill
lizard concern. This latter document
binds the player to appear in at least
twelve exhibitions a year in such places
as his employers may designate.
This is not a hard contract for Jake
to fulfill and it does not distress him
any. Yet he draws almost as much
from it as he does from the So 600 con-
tract with O'Connor and Myers. The
latter guarantee in their contract that
Schaefer is to receive one-half the pro-
ceeds of all exhibitions given by him
and his playing partners under their
management. So it will be seen from
this that Schaefer has a pretty good
thing of it in his New York berth.
