in concluding his description, "quaking

about by hirsute forests, this low land,
neither land, hollow land, or Holland,

all-conquering Roman. Yet foreign
tyranny, from the earliest ages, has
coveted this meager territory as lust

native possessors those lands with the

.FITz IS STUBBORN
EX-CHAMPION REFUSES TO TALK
ABOUT HIS LATEST PROP
OSITION
FIGHT MUST GO TO ENGLAND
FreckIed Fighter Does Not Care
About Any Plan the Cham
piOn May Want to
ORer.

NEW YORK, April 12-Nothing new
has transpired in regard to the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons wrangle. The ex-champion
was sullen and uncommunicative when
seen tonight.
Have you heard anything else from
Jeffries?" he was asked
No was the reply.
Do you still refuse to fight anywhere
but in England?''
L tell you," said the pugilist, there's
no use in discussing this subject. I've said
1 mean to fight in England, and that
goes. 1 don't care what Jeffries does"
Sportsmen in this city are at a loss to
know what to make of F'itzsimmons' at
titude. His past record in the ring as
great fighter has earned him the respect
of istic patrons to such an extent that
they are naturally loath to criticise him
unfaVOrably. But nevertheless the tide of
public opinion is gradually veering around
to the conclusion that the ex-AUstralian
is afraid of his former conqueror
1t is palpably absurd that Fitzsimmons
should insist upon the champion follow
ing him across the water to do battle as
long as there is a club in this country
willing to give guaranteed purse for the
contest. Jeffries' friends openly deride
FitzsimmOns, and say that he never in
tended to box the big fellow from the
first and was merely looking for a little
cheap advertising.
Another report that has been going the
rounds is that Fitzsimmons found him
self unable to stand the strain of train
ing This, despite the glowing reports sent
out from BObs headquarters regarding
the fine form he was showing during the
daily EDuts with Gus Rubin.
His proposition to meet any five heavy
weights on five different nights before
boxing Jeffries is also looked upon as
mere bluff. Apart from the chances OF
meeting with a knockout himself while
attempting to perform such feat, it IS
certain that Fits hands, which are none
too good at their best, would go to pieces
before finishing his second opponent. But
nobody considers this wild proposal IN
the light of anything save huge ad-
vertising canard.
Fitzsimmons is steadily losing ground
in the estimation of his former admirers,
and unless he makes reasonable terms
with Jeffries within the next twenty-four
hours his once high reputation will SUI
fer to an irredeemable extent.

que that congress had not the authority
to prevent the Chinese from coming to
this country from the Philippines He
urged, too, that the Philippine Islands
should not be opened to unrestricted ad-
mission of the Chinese.
He strongly antagonized that provision
OF the bill which excludes Chinese from
employment on American ships The
adoption of that provision, he said, would
put every American vessel on the Pacific
coast under foreign flag and send ev-
cry foreign ship into Vancouver
He urged that there were not enough
American seamen on the Pacific coast to
meet the requirements Of the bill
He maintained that the operation of
the pending bin would not disturb our
trade relations with China. The pending
measure, he maintained, was not in con-
travention of the treaty of 1894, which pro-
Vlded that Chinese laborers should be
excluded.
