YOUNG CORBETT IS
 EASY FOR NELSON
After Second Round Result Was
 Never in Doubt
BETTING FAVORED CORBETT
Interest In the Contest Was as Great as Though Worlds Champion ship Was Involved-Wln-
 ner Will Fight Britt.

San Francisco, November 29.-In the greatest fight witnessed between little men in years, Battling" Nelson of Chi cago won from Young Corbett of Denver in ten rounds. From the tap of the gong until Corbetts seconds threw up the sponge Nelson was master of the situation. His infighting was a revelation and the most brilliant ever seen here Corbett was as helpless as a babe during the last three rounds of the fight but he wobbled around groggily and gamely until the spectators yelled to stop the fight. Nelson is now in line to vanquish Champion Britt
 Nelson left the ring with scarcely a mark to show that he had been in a fight

SONG RECITAL LAST NIGHT.
Dahm-Petersen Interpreted Gems By
 Schumann-cultured Audience.

Adolf Damn-Petersen gave a Schumann song recital at the conservatory last night Owing to the indictment weather the attendance was not So large as at former entertainments but those music lovers who did brave the clements were richly repaid.
 The programme included between twen- ty and thirty of Schumann's gems, open ing with "Widmung' Dedication) and closing with "The Two Grenadiers" Mr Damn Petersen is a master interpreter He has the poetic instinct and the mus teal temperament and he is always the true artist.
 MT Dahm-Petersen's recitals are all the more interesting and educational be- cause of his sidelight remarks on the composer and the story of the pieces on the programme.
 The audience last night was marked by it's culture and its warmth.

established on a firm basis, it was the intention of the sovereign to reform the central administration at St. Petersburg. This probably would be begun with the idea of ministerial responsibility, The council of the ministry, which IS now a purely perfunctory body would slt un- der the presidency of the sovereign, thus doing away with the irresponslplity ol ministers. At present each minister hss hls own programme or poiicy' ol'en 'h conflict with other minister's

 "The reforms would next include the introduction of representative members in the council of the empire, giving the na- ton a voice in legislation. The senate would be restored to the primary fune- tion. for which it was created by Peter the Great, of controlling the admlnistfa- ton of the law thus becoming strong safeguard against arbitrariness in admin istration.
 "This logical and comprehensive scheme was suspended by Von Plehve murder. His successor, who is the very emoody- ment of kindliness and honor, marked his entry into office by an appeal to the con- , fdence of the people This appeal uil- fortunately. was misunderstood.

BUILDINGS SOLD
 BY TWO RECEIVERS
BANK RECEIVERS AT BEssEMER MAKE SALE-NEGRO LABOR AGENTS ARE ARRESTED

Bessemer, November 29-(Speclal.) 1.-The receiver for the Bank of Commerce and the receiv, for the Bessemer Savings bank have sold the stores, corner. of First avenue and Nineteenth street, to the Alabama Brewing company for the sum of S7S06
 The buildings were the property of the defunct Bank of Commerce and the sum realized by the sale will be held by Re- ceiver T. D. Smith until the litigation now pending in the courts between the re- eeivers of the two banks Is adjusted.
 The sale war made by mutual consent of the receivers and under a decree hand ed down by the Birmingham city court.
 The store are each 25 by 100 feet and are considered as being well located : property It is understood that the Ala bama Brewing company will occupy both the buildings.
 Labor Agents Arrested. Two negro labor agents were arrested last night charged with soliciting negro coal miners to go to Texas. and were ar raigned before Mayor Hney in the police court this morning and fined S10 each The negroes stated they were employed by white men.
 All this fal, labor has been very scarce in Bessemer and 1t seems strange that labor agents should invade this section. Today the Tennessee company imported ninety men to work around the furnaces and coak ovens, but as arrangements are not all completed to put the other two furnaces in blast, forty-hve of the men were sent 10 Pratt City to work in the mines of that division.
 December 5 Probable Date. l Arrangements are expected to be com pleted for the first train of the Seaboard Air Line U come into Bessemer over the lines of the Frisco company. In order to handle the business of both lines the Frisco company will lay a number of additional tracks.
 P. B. stubbs, the agent for the Frisco, has been appointed agent for the Sea- board.
 Carnival Is Interesting.
 The Red Mems carnival that is fin prog ress in Bessemer this week continues to draw large crowds. Much interest Is be- ing manifested in the contest for the queen of the cornival, and the votes cast have already run up into the thousands. The crowning of the queen Thursday will be the event of the carnival week.
 The net proceeds of the fair will go to assist the worthy poor during the com ing winter, the funds to be distributed by the Red Men.

 The brief talk of Chairman Abernathy met with applause.
 Judge Abernathy immediately called the new committee together, the follow ing members answering the roll call:
 First Ward-H. B. Abernathy and U. A Collins.
 Second ward-A. P Rich and Max Karples
 Third ward-John D. Elliott and R. w. Walker.
 Fourth Ward-w. S. Moughon and John T. Evans
 Fifth Ward-Palmer P. Daugette and John T. Y Ysatman.

 Seventh Ward-W IT. Tommpertt
 Eighth Ward-A. w. Nelson.
 Ninth Ward-James F. Hawkins ana Walter Metcalfe.
 Hawkins Presided.
 After the roll call Chairman Hawkins was called upon to preside. Committee man Hawkins and Committeeman Rich were afterwards unanimously elected as | temporary chairman and secretary, re- | speetively
 Committeeman Abernathy then nomina- l ted Committeeman Metcalfe as the chair man of the new committee. There were | three or four seconds to the nomlna- ton Upon motion of Committeeman har- l nles the nominations were closed and Com 1 mitteeman Metcalfe was elected chair man of the new committee without oV | position. He has been member ol | inc city committee for several years and he Ia quite popular. Up to late yesterday afternoon 1t was believed that he would have opposition, but this failed to ma terialize at the meeting Iast night.
 In assuming the chair. Mir. Metcalfe made a short talk thanking the members of the committee for the honor conlerreo upon him.
 Rich Unanimously Reelected. l A. P. Rich, wair then reelected as sec retary of the new committee without op, position This makes MT. Rich's second | term as secretary. It had been rumoreo that he would have opposition for the secretaryship, but no name was presented to oppose him. James F. Hawkins had no opposition for treasurer of the new committee MT Hawkins was appointed treasurer or the sub committee of the old committee ahu he looked after the financial trallsao' | tions of the recent primary elections. An effort was made by Committeeman Yeatman to elect a successor to MT. Met | calfe from the ninth ward. Before tht roll call commenced on the proposition however, he withdrew his motion.
 Mir. Greenwood's Position.
 Up to late yesterday afternoon the name of Committeeman Greenwood of the sixth ward was prominently mentioned as a candidate for treasurer of the ne" committee. MT. Greenwood declined tc make the race, however, before the com mittee met last night. He stated thai inasmuch as he was new member ana | that MT Hawkins, who was elected to the position, had served as committee man for several years and as treasurer of the sub committee for several months had been mentioned to succeed himself he would not make the race for the | office.
 MT. Greenwood Is probably the young est member of a democratic executive committee that has ever been elected in any city. He is only 2 years of age and he won in the sixth ward by good majority.
 MT. Greenwood has been an assistant to the clerk of the Inferior court or BIT mingham for several months past.
