 It IS now asserted that senator 1laIGlIS A A1aL-.,i nlA lA,cA 1Uie lo p1e- Te41t tIle Je-Li-eS- I..AI4A DoAIns bout al CtAeIAAatI eDIualy Ao iA4S .A- IorAatIUn Was IHpaileu by Co4UAei 1oAu aIa4lOy, oIi iAapv.,oI, eA-uepaly posSinasler at Co1uMDuS, eA-e4eik oI tie Onlo legislature, ana eN aIinosr every ,A.ns e4se that he couiu secure during the past score of years.

 ''AIayor Fleischmann has done popular thing in trying to hep out these business men here," said Malloy, but I'm afraid he has hurt the party throughout the state. From what l learn, the old boy is going to call him down."
 (Which old boy?'' was asked.
 ''Why, Mark Hanna, of course,' said MaIloy
 .'Ihey can all call until they get blue ill the face," replied the business man, but when Julius FleiSchmann has given his word he will keep it. All the money and political isfuence that can be brought to bear will not change the mayors mind. His nature is not so weak and vacillating as that of some of his predecessors. He comes as near being independent as any man in Ohio, or any place else, for that matter. and if you want to get little easy money make a few wagers that the contest will be held on scheduled tiE;o."
 Then it's hopeless, eh?' asked Nal Joy.
 "Gone so far that Hanna, Mckinley, Dom Paul Kruger or One Eyed Con- nelly. can't stop it,'' said the Cincin- natian, who was q member of the Board of Directors of the Golden Jubi- lee Saengerfest.
 The consensus of opinion among business men is that the contests will do good thing if enough money is made to tighten the burden now rest ing on the public spirited men who went to the front in order to make the Golden Jubilee Saengerfest a success.
 FIGHTERS FOR ENGLAND.
 Dr A. F. Ordway. American repre- sentative of the National Sporting club, London, has written to Balti- more making propositions for fights in London between Ben Jordan, the English featherweight champion and Harry Lyons, and between the winner of the Johnnie Hughes-Pat Daily bout that is to take place next month and Joe Cans. The letter was the result of negotiations that have been on for a month with the object of having the two colored fighters make trip to England for fights with the English champions. On receipt of Dr Ord ways letter Manager Herford wrote a reply, containing a proposition for battles between the colored men and the Englishmen. Herford agreed to have Lyons meet Ben Jordan at 124 pounds for any distance battle the winner to take all the purses and re- ceiptS of all sorts. and the loser, if it should be Lyons, to get nothing. Herford wrote the same sort of propo- sition for Cans to meet the winner of the Hughes Daily fight that is to take place next month. The battle weight for the later contest. Herford stipu- lated. was to be 133 pounds. weighing in at noon. as is the custom in Eng land. From negotiations that have preceded the letter Herford believes that he is surely in for a trip abroad.
