FITZSIMMCNS AT HOME.
Calls Corbett the Old Man and Deems
Him Easy

New York. Dec. 10.-Robert Fitzsim-
mons, who recently captured the light
heavyweight championship, at San Fran
cisco. by receiving the decision over
George Gardner in a twentyround bat
tie arrived home yesterday from Chi
cago, whore he has been spending a few
DAYS with friends. Fitzsimmons was ac-
conpanied by his wife and his little
daughter, Rose.
The new champion looked to be in eX-
cellent condition. He showed lao signs of
his recent encounter, except that his
hands which caused him so much trou-
BILE during the battle, were still swathed
in baIdages.
Fitzsimmons stated that he still had
further pueilistic aspirations. and that he
would be back into the ring just as soon
as he felt his hands strong enough to
stand the game. He said that he would
like to meet Corbett. and that he con-
sdered Corbett the "Old Man and not
himself If it were not for his hands
Fitzsinimons said that he felt as though
he was as good today as he ever was
i'm his life.
"When L fought Gardner" said Fitz-
simmons Il was in good shape. and
would have knocked him out If il had not
been for the fact that my hands went
back on me While training for the battle

used pneumatic gloves en- my sparring
partners. but they were practically use
less. They were not strong enough.
Gardner put up good fight but there
would have been nothing to it had nos
my hands gone back on me- All through
the fight / felt good. and had the same
life and activity az before. but it was
the pnncha thai counted. and of course

AS for Corbett. he is an old cad. When
it comes to talking old man ! guess

parstively small quantity supplied to

paratively small quantity supplied ito
China by Japan.
These figures of the shipment of cotton
goods from the four principal countries
supplying the cotton imports of China
during the latest available months in
the present year seem to indicate that
the reduction which has been noted in
the exports of cotton goods from the
United States to China is no greater than
that of the other principal countries sup
plying the cotton imports of China, and
that in our own case. as well as that of
other countries, the reduction is due to
a general decrease in the importation
of cotton goods into China in the year
1903 as compared with Immediately pre-
ceding years. The theory is also sup
ported by such information from Chinese
official sources as is at present available
with reference to 1893 and earlier years.
The official figures of Chinese imports
for the year 1903 this far received by
the bureau of statistics cover only the
first three months. port by port. The
chief importing point of China. however,
for cotton goous is Shanghai. and the
official reports from that port show that
the total imports of cotton goods in the
first three months of 1903 were 1890, 746
pieces. against 6.4el ,962 pieces in the cor
responding months of 1902, and 1.7s6.1H
pieces in the same month of 1901. OF
these imports. gray shirtings form the
largest single item. and they showed a
total from the United Kingdom of lob
626 PIECES. against 2,413704 pieces in the
corresponding months of last year.
In the Chinese importations of sheet
ings, drills and jeans American goods
form an important part Imports Of
of American sheetings into China
amounted to e309E pieces in the first
three months of 1908, against 9i9,940 pieces
in the same months of 1892; American
drills amounted to $50, 4s7 pieces, against
357, l20 pieces in the corresponding months
of the preceding year; and American
jeans, IS, 40 pieces, against 5000 in the
same months of the preceding year.
\ further examination of the details of
these figures shows that the reduction
in the importation of American goods
into China is mach less in quantity and
in proportion than in those from the
United Kingdom.
The general reduction in the importa-
ton of cotton goods into China is APP
parently due. in part at least. if not in
whole TO the unusually large imports of
this character in 1902. The total value of
cotton goods imported into China in 1902
was SS0353.545. against s7l,749.439 in 1901,
and $50. 704710 in 1900.
The table following shows the total value
of cotton goods imported into China dur
ing the last decade. as shown by the
official reports of the Chinese govern
ment. the figures being reduced to United
States currency:

BARRED FROM KANSAS.
National Bond Company of Denver Out
of the Ordinary.

| Toneka Kan. Dec 10-The National
BOND company of Denver was yesterday
refused authority to do business in Kan
sas by the state charter board ms Is
the second time the company has at
tempted to gain admission 10 this state.
1t conducts a business somewhat on the
line of a building and loan association.
The company issues bonds for certain
amounts. generally s10o, which are pay
able in installments and mature in 100
months. When matured they are pay
able in cash
1t happens there is no law in Kansas
to govern Il concern like the National
Bond company and it was for this rea-
son permission TO do business in the
state was refused. While the company is
highly recommended by responsible men
in Denver the board did not feel like ad-
hitting it TO the state when il would
have no control over il. If the con-
Germ is not properly managed there is a
big chance for fraud and the investors
would have no recourse if there was no
law to govern the company.
Following is statement of the pur-
pose of the company as set out in the
application for authority to do business
in Kansas:
The issuing and selling with the right
of redemption certificates of membership,
bonds debentures, contracts and other
evidence of Indebtedness, fer the payment
of money etc. owning. keeping and sell
ing real estate, personal property. mort
cages bonds. stocks. and securities of

LAND For The PEOPLE,

Labor people more than any others
are interested in preserving for homes
for the people the" public domain.
Therefore, every central labor body,
if not every union, in the United States,
should follow the example of the Chi
coga Federation of Labor in petition
ing Congress to repeal the desert land
laws and the communication clause Of the
homestead act, says the Baltimore
Leader.
Congress has appropriated $4,000, 900
for the beginning Of an irrigation sy-
stem for the retaining of Western de-
sert land. The Spectators were ready
for Congress. No sooner was the bill
passed than SPECTATORS began to
grab desert land by the. wholesale, and
before a gallon OF water is flowing in
the new Government irrigation canals
all the land in the vicinity of these ca
nails will have been taken up and held
for high prices from actual settlers.
The whole people; under the scheme,
are going to tax themselves for the
benefit of the land spectators.
Such state of affairs is intolerable.
If the Government reclaims land. 1T
should be for actual settlers. The
desert land act and the communication
clause in the homestead act should be
repealed at once and the land held for
those who intend to make homes upon
it. More than tina, Athe irrigation act
should be so amended that not foot
Of the land in the irrigation districts
can be taken UP or purchased before
it is actually: reclaimed and ready for
agriculture.
