JEFFRIES WANTS
A FINISH FIGHT
Corbett Says Such a Contest
Is Out Of the
Question.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Even the offer
of a $4,000 purse made by the Interna-
tional Athletic club of Fort Erie does
not tempt Champion Jim Jeffries to
sign articles to meet James J. Corbett
in q limited-round battle for the cham
pionship. Jeffries holds out for fin
ish fight, and says he will consider
COrbetts challenge under no other
conditions.
|, When Jeffries, who is now in st. Lou
is, was notified that Matchmaker J. H.
Herman of the Fort Erie club has post
ed $4,000 to back up his bid for $25 900
for the contest, the champion simply
refused to consider the bid. He said if
Hermann could make his offer read for
a finish fight instead Of a fight for
twenty rounds he would be ready to do
business at once, but as the matter
stands he wanted none of the offer.
In posting a $4,000 forfeit to guaran-
tee $4,000 purse for the battle, the
Fort Erie club shows that it means
business, but, as l have repeatedly stat
ed during the past week, [ will meet
Corbett only in a finish fight. That's
the only way to decide a champion
ship.
There are plenty of places besides
Carson City, to which Corbett objects,
where we could meet in an unlimited
number of rounds battle and in refus
ing to meet me under these conditions
Corbett proves just what l have said
all along-that he really does not want
to fight. For me it must be g finish fight
or none"
In regard to a finish fight being ar
ranged instead Of limited-rOund con-
test, Corbett says that such a contest is
out of the question.

The conference of the reorgan-
izers held at Denver last week
decided to enter the field of poll
tics without the aid or consent OF
either of the old parties. The
new party is to be composed of
all the discontents of every po-
litical faith and j. A. Edgerton
is to be chairman of the reorgan-
izers. The Omaha platform was
Endorsed as the basis of reorgan-
ization and a resolution passed
demanding that a national nomi-
mating convention to be held
early in 1904 before the conven-
tion of either the republican or
democrats. The democratic
party which was so potent fac
tor in the campaign of 1896 and
1900 will be ignored by the new
organizers. A party of fanatics
and discontents was a drawing
card when soup house and finan-
cial panic was in vouge, but we
very much question whether that
element even with Edgerton,
Allan and Weaver at it's head
will gather much strength under
a republican administration and
prosperous times.

DO We Want Another Rail Road.

The letters recently received by
Mayor Purcell on the question of
securing the new line of rail road
proposed from O'Neil to North
Plat recalls the rail road project
of the citizens of North Platte,
Albion and Broken Bow some
fifteen years ago. That line was
surveyed but never got any farth-
er. 1t was intended at that time
to extend the road to Sioux City
and connect with the Chicago
and North Western rail road but
it failed for lack of finance. The
proposition of Lyman Waterman
is doubtless a revival of the for
mer scheme and should it succeed
would give us direct connection
with Duluth and the Great Lakes.
Mr.. Waterman's claim that the
proposed line would bring about
great saving on freights no doubt
is true. Many other advantages
would be afforded by having two
roads that are not now enjoyed
The township of Broken Bow car
we'll afford to look into this
matter and if the North Western
is back of the project the town
ship can we'll afford to offer liber
al aid.

The total amount of the excess
fees turned into the county trea-
sury under republican administra-
tion for the year 1902 by the
county officers is SASS. While
it is true that two of the officers
are not republicans they were
working under republican adj
ministration and the prosperity
OF the country favored their
Offices the same as it did those
held by republicans. 1t was not
stated in resolutions passed by
the Republican County Conven-
ton nor by the REPUBLICAN as
the Beacon states that all the
excess of fees or any part of it
was turned in by republican
officials. We stated what the ex-
cess of fees had been for the year
1902 under republican administr-
alton. 1t is the effect of the
policy of the republican party
that has brought us the pros
perity and pops and democrates

vocate continuing the republican
party in power.

The EXTRA SESSION.

Bismarck Tribune: The matter of an
extra session of the North Dakota legis-
lature is of such great importance the
governor is wise in not proceeding in ad-
vance of an aroused public sentiment.
He must be sure Of the harmonious CO.
operation of the legislature, and of the
people. In this state the executive has
authority to call the legislature in extra
ordinary session but except by veto he
has no power over its acts and cannot
determine the duration OF the session. 1t
will not do to jump from the frying pan
Into the fire. To relieve one emergency
it will not be wise to create another. The
dominent party in the state, represented
by the present administration, would suf-
fer from hasty action, and the governor
displays a due regard for diplomacy if
he refuses to call an extra session until
assured of the cooperation of two-thirds
OF tho legislature. Already there are
threats of bringing into the extra session
questions entirely foreign to the present
emergency caused by the failure
Of the institution bonds scheme.
Some resubmissionist who subordinate
all other interests to the regulation of
liquor selling, see in the extra session an
opportunity for a "hold up" and others
with pet measures if given an opportuni-
~, will spring them on the least provo
cation and thus block legislation of the
kind needed to meet present conditions.
Until the governor is assured by the two.
thirds Of the legislators of their cooper.
alton, offensive and defensive, he canno,
afford to call an extra session. He car
run no risk. The sentiment of the com
unities where no public institutions are
located is also important. They mus
feel that a state and not a district emer
gency exists. 1t is safe to predict, judg
ing from the governors latest utterance.
that he will await the positive and un
mistakeable backing of two-thirds Of tn,
legislature before he an extr:
session.
