 Wants to Fight.


 New York, April l9.-Robert Fitzsim- mons today received the following tele- gram from Jim Jeffries in reply to his message of Thursday last:
 Los Angeles. Cal. April 19 1902, Robert Fitzsimmons, care The New
 York Evening Journal. New York: Your telegram received and I sincere ly trust you are in earnest and that you mean business. Without wasting words you make a mistake In not accepting the terms as offered as everything was fair and inst to you.
 Your acknowledgment that contest is impossible in the East Is only a repe- tition of my action toward their bid. Your action towards the California bids led me to believe you were trying to avoid d meeting. We pledged mutually to agree on the best bid on a certain date and at that time the East had not been heard from and you refused to accept anything here.
 T do not want to dictate anything but want mutual financial interests and will therefore communicate with clubs in Cal ifornia which will doubtless decide what Is the best date and We must agree on something. You deposit $250 now with The Examiner. I will do like wise. I am sincere in all have done. and sorry you have not realized the same.
