EVERYTHING READY
 FOR PRIZE FIGHT
Young Corbett Can Have No
 Excuse to Offer
IS IN GOOD CONDITION
Selection of Graney as Referee Has Brought Out a Lot of Deferred Betting, With Odds of 10
 to in corbett's Favor.

San Francisco, December 2S.-Every- thing for the preliminary has been settled for the fight between Young Corbett and Eddie Hanon, the local aspirant for the ! championship honors.
 It was announced at Corbett's training quarters today that the Denverite is down to weight and that there is no possibility of him tipping oyer 129 pounds at weigh ing in time tomorrow. He is pronounced to be perfectly fit and will not have the excuse to offer this time of lack of condi- tion
 At the previous meeting the champion put a low estimate on the ability of the little westerner and sighted his training to such an extent that he barely pulled out of the encounter with a draw at the end. He is of steady habits and eonse- quently there are always reports from his camp of good nature
 The selection of Graney as referee today brought out some deferred betting and most of the money was placed at 10 to 8 with Corbett the favorite. Both men were on the road this morning doing light work and the afternoon was devoted to some gymnasium exercises. Tonight practically finished the training. record breaking attendance is looked for by the managers of the fight.

COLONEL HENRY
 USED SCISSORS OreyfuS Has Good Grounds for
 Vindication ALTERED THE TELEGRAM By Cutting of the Corner He Made It Appear to Have Been Dated
 March When It Should
 Have Been April.
ALTERED THE TELEGRAM

Paris. December 2S.-The grounds upon which depends for vindication and re- storation to the army have been com municated to the Associated Press
 Dreyfus charges that telegram from Colonel Schwartzkoppen. the late Ger man military attache here. to Colonel Panizzardi, formerly Italian military at tache at Paris, as presented to the court martial at Rennes, bore the date of April, 1894, when he was occupied with the details of the mobilization of troops of which the telegram treated, whereas the actual date of the telegram was the last of March. 1895, after he (Drey- fus) had been tried.
 The copy found has established the correctness of Dreyfus' claim, in the opinion of the commission which rec commended a revision of the case The statement of the case against Dreyfus contained the telegram when it arrived at the ministry for war was dated April l. 1895. which Dreyfus claims shows the telegram was written in the latter part of March of that year.
 With a pair of scissors, the late Col
 
 telegram. and thus the actual date dis appeared. Then Colonel Henry, in his own hand. annotated the telegram April. 1894 The colonel, however, neglected to remember that the month of April had only thirty days, for in the document there is mention of the '31st of the cur rent month."
 The unauthenticity of the telegram could have been established had the court at Rennes appreciated the import ance of the error Finally, it develop ed that in the telegram where the words "Cen Canaille de D." appeared the initial ''D' had been substituted for the letter "P.' The original copy written by NJ Obribelin, the keeper of the arch ives of the war office carried the let ter ''P." The scratching upon the pa per was apparent, but M Bertilon, the handwriting expert. testified that the letter "D' was correct. 1t is now claimed he was in error.

coMBES GETS A MAJORITY.
French Premier Raises the Question oi
 Confidence in the Government.

Paris, December 2S-In the chamber of deputies today during the debate on the amendments to the budget, proposals adopted in the senate Premier Combes raised the question of confidence in the government and obtained a majority of 100
 The point at issue was the appropria- tion for the special service magistrates, which was suppressed by the chamber and restored by the senate. Several depu- ties insisted that the senate had acted un- constitutonally, as it had not the author ity to propose financial expenditure
 Premier Combes cut short the debate by declaring that he would not discuss the constitutional question involved He said that the appropriation was essential, and If it were not voted he would tender his resignation.
 The chamber then restored several of the appropriations suppressed by the sen- ate and consequently the budget will go to the senate again.

should be crushed and the hour of set- clement arrives, few doubt that Great Britain would interpose to stay the ruth less hand of the conqueror, even at the risk of war If Great Britain bears a hand, then France and Germany must show themselves. This enters the realm of the future and the field of almost proftless speculation. The one basic fact is that Japan is championing, with rare courage and determination, cause which is virtually the cause of all civili- zation.
 It is the fashion to assume that Great Britain is far more interested than the United States. and that in fact it is no question at all for this country; but this is not the view taken in government cir ciles here. No one believes there is any real danger that the United States may be drawn into hostilities. and yet he would be rash man who risked his reputation upon that assertion without any mental reservation. American pub lie men who from study and clear un- derstandng are able to take broad view, not only of the present but of the future, perceive that this is an American question as well as a British, French and German question. It is ( world problem, not simply a perplexity for Europe alone. And it is not impossible the day may come-and that not far dis tant-when American public opinion will back up an American government in taking the most energetic steps to pro- tect American interests and to safeguard the future against dreaded forces anta- gonstic to our prosperity and our pres tige.
 Looking to the future, no other nation has a greater interest in the reaLjust- ments of power in the Pacific Ocean and the United States. We are the great Pacific power; our interest there iS terri torial. commercial. political This means that the future of China is to our re- public living, a burning question. It is no secret in Washington that our gov ernment is already alive to the potential significance of the game that is being played ins the far east. It is no secret that Japan is aware of our warm sym pathy, anu that Russia is mot laboring under and deusions as to indifference at Washingtons

out any particular point of the contact; but it Is true that the straw which broke the camels' back of Japanese patience was found in the timber cutting concessions which Russia obtained from Korea along the Lalu river. In this Japan saw one Of those concrete and practical moves in the Russian game which the statesmen of the island kingdom know so well. They de- manded a cancellation of these conces- sions, or at least pledges s to the use which was to be made of them. Russia parleyed as usual, and Japan, backed by the pressure of warlike and insistent public opinion, has driven harder and harder toward the real crux of the dis pute-the future of Korea itself If the collision had not come over the timber felling concessions, 1t would have come over something else.
 In the highest circles of world politics here at Washington excepting, of course, the Russian embassy, and perhaps also the German. one finds an almost unani- nous sympathy with Japan! a belief that Japan is not only fighting for her very life as nation, but that she is waging a battle for the highest interests of civ lization.
 It is undeniably true that at Washing ton. and probably throughout all America, sympathy is strong with Japan. The same is true of Great Britain. The masses of people both in the United Kingdom and the United States have their feelings and their prejudices and these are all instinct lively against Russia. a
 If Russia refuses to sign, the pledge and fights Japan for free hand in Korea. Is it likely the other powers will be drawn ;,,+o ha ctrt knows Of course. and opinions are as various as sands of the sea The best belief in dip lomatic circles is that Russia will not fight unless she has the promise Of help from Germany. France cannot be de- pended on as an effective ally, because opinion in France is against Russian ag- gression in the far east It is known here that Russia virtually gave Japan an op- portunity in the course of the recent ne- gotiations to become a co-partner in the dismemberment of China, That Is to say if Japan had been willing to make compact to join hands with Russia in the game of grab. the mikado's govern ment might have had corea. whilst Rus sa was holding fast to Manchuria. and reaching ovt for Mongolia and North China It is said here by men whose words carry weight that Japan had her choice between grabbing alliance with Russia or a continuance of her synpa- thetic relations with Great Britain and the United States and chose the latter. If this is true the choice was highly sig nificant of the future
 
 Hence the question of questions. in case war comes. is as to the attitude which Great Britain is to assume. The best opinion is that at the outset Great Bri- tain will take no sides but if Japan

SPLENDID ROADS,
Pleased With Inspection In
Putnam.

Commissioners Cobb and Daniel Study
the Road System in Putnam.-Sum-
ter May Not Work Convicts for An
other Year Yet.

Messrs John A. Cobb and J. 81.
Daniel, of the board of County Com.
missioners, returned to Americus yes
terday from Eatonton, where they went
a few days ago for the purpose of stud
ying the Putnam county system of con-
Wet road working, the cost of equip
ment and the cost of maintenance of
gang while thus employed.
These gentlemen were extended
every courtesy and afforded abundant
opportunity for making all investiga-
tions desired. Many excellent roads
throughout the couu y were inspected
Than Putnam, no county IN Georgia
has such splendid roads.
Putnam has but small force of mis-
demeanor convicte, possibly a dozen
or fifteen, but since 1895 the roads Of
the county have been ballasted and
made as smooth as any city street.
As Mr.. Daniel states, a good pair OF
mules can pull wagon and six bales
of cotton to market over any of the
roads in the county.
An overseer and two guards are en-
ployed at total cost of about 800 pei
month. The "gane" is carried from
one point to another, sleeping in tents
and costs but little for maintenance.
A Sumtsr county man, by the way
a Mr.. Little, is road constructor.
These gentlemen will make their re
port very soon to the board of commits
stonere, and while there is now some
doubt as to whether Sumtel's convictl
will be put on the roads next year
Notwithstanding the tax levy for tina
purpose, the system as adopted 6
successfully in Putnam will be very
fcarefulIy investigated.
May Sumter's wretched roads, some
day, be made as good as those of Put
nam county.
