Corbett and HanIon Ready.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Dec. 20
Everything is in readiness for the fight
tonight between Young Corbett' and
Eddie Hanlon, on the result OF which
the featherWeight championship title
hinges. Around the cafes and sport
ing resorts today the contest is the
sole topic of conversation. Corbett is
still the favorite. but his friends re-
alize that Hanlon is q dangerous man
and refuse to give the odds asked.
Little was done at the training work
to keep their muscles alive. HanlOn
appears confident of his ability to win
the decision. He intends going after
the champion and putting him out as
quickly as possible. Ten rounds, he
thinks. will be enough to do the trick.
There is the same feeling of confidence
in the Corbett camp. While the cham
piOn and his trainers all know that
HanlOn is one of the cleVerest men in
his class and of his weight, in the
world, they feel sure that COrbett will
be able to defeat him as he did once
before and make the victory even
cleaner cut than on that occasion. In
tense interest is manifested in the
bout and the Hayes Valley Athletic
club, under whose auspices the mill
is to take place, expects a record
breaking crowd to be on hand.

PANAMA ISSUE WAS PARAMOUNT

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga special
meeting of the cabinet was held late
this afternoon, the first since the ad-
Journment of congress. 1t is supposed
that Panama was the chief topic, al
though a number of minor depart
mental matters We're considered. 1t is
likely also that the proposed massacre
of the Jews q Kishineff on Jewish
Christmas was brought up. the presi>,
dent having received many appeals
from Jewish organizations to intercede
with the ear. 1t IS believed the only
thing that can be done by America is
to direct Amba ssadOr Mccormick at
st. Petersburg to aCquaint the Russian
foreign office with these appeals. A
request to the ear to take action on
the predicted outrage would give SER
ious ofense without any gain. Simon
Wolf of the BnaiBrith called, at the
state department this morning and
personally presented a petition.
