.FITz. GETS THE FLOOR
ROBERT INSISTS THAT JAMES COM
PELS A FEELING OF DISGUST.

NEW YORK, Feb. Bob Fitzs;mmons
says he is disgusted with Champion JET
fries, and the second fight between the
two greatest pugilists IN the world IS
practically off.
Fitz and Jeff were to have met to-
morrow at noon to sign articles of agree
ment, but the lanky eX-champion says he
Will not be present at the proposed meet
ing place. He declares that the cham
piOn wants too much from him in arrang-
ing the match, and that under existing
conditions he can see no reason for
meeting.
The money question was what brought
matters to such head Jeffries all along
has insisted that the winner take all the
purse, or the purse be divided on 70
and Is per cent basis. No other terms
would satisfy the champion, and to that
Fitz would not consent. He has almost
demanded that the purse be split equally
between himself, Jeffries and the club
holding the bout.
A prominent sporting man said yeste"
day afternoon that somebody is trying to
crawl out of a match is certain. Jeffries
demands appeared more fair to the sport
ing public than Fits AMI the latter's re-
quest that the money be divided equally
has led many to believe that the ex-chanl-
pion knows he has no chance of beating
the man who once before conquered him
The money is what he is after.

Radical leader in the Reichstag analyz-
ing the most recent government report
concerning the colonies, finds that there

While the total colonial trade has in

colonial appropriations during the same
length of time have increased from slight
