The Champion Rules Strong
Favorite Over the Den
yer Boxer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-After eight days
training for his battle with Young Cor
bett'' of Denver Thursday night at Hart
ford, Terry McGovern took ten-m1le run
in the vicinity Of Jerome Park this after
noon. Despite the fact that 1t was freez-
ing cold, with a strong wind blowing, he
covered the distance in ninety minutes.
When he reached his training quarters
he was examined by physician, who de-
clared the little champion in perfect trim
for the coming contest.
Several persons have informed him that
in Young Corbett'' he will meet the
toughest and most rugged opponent of
his ring career. He replied to several
questions as to how he felt:
Il never felt better in my. life, and
while 1 have taken no chances and have
worked into the best condition feel con-
fident of the result. They tell me Cor
bett is a two-handed swift rushing fight
then neither he nor | will have any ex-
cUses to make when the end comes"
McGovern tipped the scales at 122
pun6s d to-day @ WITH bi arann
camp, leaving for Hartford Tomorrow
afternoon. He expects to reach the ring
side weighing not more than 24 pounds.
Among the sporting men here very little
betting is being done McGovern back
ers are offering bets of to ! on their
man, with few takers. Among the sport
ing resorts on upper Broadway some Ot
the sports are making what they call
gambling bets on the result, taking od IS
of to 2, but the prevailing price is to
on McGovern.
HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 26.-"Young
Corbett," who has been working faith
fully four weeks to prepare for his bout
with Terry McGovern, put the finishing
touches to his training this afternoon be-
hind closed doors. Large crowds have
watched his daily practice and somewha
handicapped him. He requested to-day
that all be excluded except his trainers.
He boxed several hard rounds with Char
ley Sieger and went through his usual
practice, which was preceded by an eight
mile run on the road. A physician again
examined Corbett tonight and pro-
nounced him to be. in fine condition. To-
morrow he will take light exercise.

graph Company and Of the recently orga-
nized Pacific Cable Company, will be here
tomorrow for a weeks stay. While here
he will look at available cable landings
and listen to any proposition that may be
advanced for bringing the Pacific cable
ashore here The cable company has
succeeded in getting land grants and the
Necessary concessions in Hawaii, Guam
and Luzon for the cable, and the landing
place on the Pacific Coast is all that re-
mains to be fixed.
The line of survey from San Francisco
to Honolulu and that from Los Angeles
form two sides of 4 triangle, with the
long side on the line of the northern sur
vey. The saving in expense by running
the cable from! Los Angeles would be
nearly $4,000.
Secretary Zeehandelaar of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
said to-day:
"If the site for the station has not al
ready been selected we will make a de-
termined effort to have the company
bring the cable to Los Angeles. the
necessary land can be had at moment $

places for the snoring of the submarine
telegraph line"
General Manager Storrer was busy to-
day getting data for President Mackay
and will present tomorrow the sum of
his investigations.

COPY|ST5 MAKE
CRAVE CHARGES
Say They w ere Removed
for Refusing to Pay
Assessments.

Mark Bartlett and Frank H. Urmy, for
merly copyists under Recorder Godchaux,
filed affidavits with the Civil Service
Commission yesterday alleging that they
were dismissed from their positions be-
cause they refused to contribute $50 each
to Godchaux's campaign fund at the last
election
Both men were appointed in April 1900,
from the civil service eligible list of copy
lists. Urmy was discharged on the 9Th
inst and Bartlett lost his official head
yesterday morning. In his affidavit Bart
lett alleges that he was compelled to
fund in the office and 81 so monthly to pay
a messenger who was not provided for by
the Board of Supervisors. He also con-
tributed So to pay the fees of an attor-
ney to defend four copyists who were ap-
pointed, but not from the civil service
list, after the Superior Court decided that
the Recorders office was exempt from
civil service.
Bartlett further alleges that he was as
sessed $12 80 to pay the salary of a copy
ist, w. H. Garnett, whose demand was
copyist named F'leischman pay an INSTALL
ment of $12 80 on the campaign ASSESS
ment.
ON Monday to Godchaux requesting the
return of s22 80 which he had contributed
to the various funds. Frank Urmy in his
affidavit corroborates the statements made
Recorder Godchaux says he knew moth
ms, of any campaign assessments being
collected among his men. So far as the
contributions for charity are concerned,
Godchaux says it was voluntary matter
of the employees. This was also the case
with the other contributions.
The Civil Service Commission decided to
refer the complaints to Mayor Phelan,
with a recommendation that he exercise
the power conferred on him by the char
ter to remove municipal officers. The
charter provides:
'sAny officer of the city and county who
SHALL while in office, accept any dona-
ton or gratuity in money or other valu-
able thing either directly or indirectly
from any subordinate or employe or from
any candidate or applicant for any posi-
tion as employe or subordinate under him
shall forfeit his Office and be forever de-
barred and disqualified from holding any
position in the service of the city and
county"
The Civil Service Commission will con-
tinue the investigation of ALI the offices
and report its findings to the Mayor.
