LONDON, June 3.-Widespread

government have been discovered
in Petrograd and Moscow, accord
ing to wireless report from the
latter city. Moscow has been de-
clared in a state of siege.
The plots are said to extend
turnout Russia. In the Kuban
and Don regions, the counter rev.
dictionary movement menaces the
flour depots. This, added to the
loss Of the Ukraine granaries, is
seen as a part of a plot to drive
the Russians into a famine.
Many arrests have been made.

starring was a wonderful photoplay, and was applauded like a production on the legitimate stage The story is gripping, and very thrilling throughout. Miss Pearsons costumes were immense. She was gorgeously attired for each scene.
 Birdie Heron, who is not unknown to Birmingham audiences, made a decided hit with her blackface act, aided by her partner, Milt Arnsmen. and they were warmly received Birdie is as clever as ever, and got great hand on her make up and her act.
 Collier & De Walde presented one of the most unusual and spectacular skat- ing novelty acts ever seen here, and the Penn Trio likewise offered some of the most difficult, yet expert horizontal bar work ever presented in local theatre. Both of these acts are away above the usual skating and acrobatic work. The performers are big time folk.
 Jenks and Allen in an original rube act was received with vociferous applause. They went home with the audience "on their hip" so to speak, and had to come back and look the audience over several times. Their work was just as billed, not overdone. but just jam up to the happy medium which always pleases.
 Helen Moretti indeed has wonderful voice. This young lady is very comedy in appearance, and she offers some classical and popular numbers in her big rich voice, that receive warm ap- plause. She has trained voice and her high notes are very good. All music lovers enjoyed her number immensely.
 The current events and comic pictures were greatly enjoyed also.

(This is the second of a series of ar ticles which MT. Corbett is writing con corning his battle with Charlie Mitchell in Jacksonville, Fla, January 25, 1894 The next installment will appear to- morrow)
 In keeping with my contract, l re- ported at Miners Bowery theatre or Monday for the matinee, all unconscious of the fact that the deal made with me was crowding Charlie Mitchell and Frank slavin off the bill. Harry Miner, who made the deal with me, had said noth- ing about any prior arrangements with those two boxers for an exhibition match at the performances during that week.
 Just as got out of my dressing room and walked across the back of the stage, I noticed that the stage hands were busy moving out trunks and things That seemed rather odd to me-moving away theatrical paraphernalia on Mon- day. So I said to one of the stage hands:
 Whose stuff is that?"
 "Oh, it belongs to Mitchell and Slavin," he answered. "They were to show here this week but now guess they ain't."
 And then a light began to dawn on me.
 That evening just as I was walking through the lobby of the theatre. about a. half-hour before show time, Mitchell rushed up to me and at once began to let loose some verbal abuse. lie was under the impression that I had had slipped over something on him and Slavin. I tried to explain that l knew nothing about the agreement Miner had with him at the time I made the. con- tract with him.
 Had I known that Miner was going to push you fellows off the programme I wouldn't have made the contract said. But Mitchell wasn't to be pla' cated. Right then and there he chal- lenged me to a fight
 I made no reply, which seemed to Tn furiate Mitchell all the more. He began to threaten me and to call me a cow ard. Finally, when this brought no re- sponse from me, he dug into his pockets fished some bills and exclaimed: Here's a five-pound note C2o) tha' says I can whip you right now. F1gh' if you daret

 , that. And he showed it. And I was just about as mad under the surface as a man can get without exploding. But | outwardly I appeared rather calm. It's a rather hard matter to resist hitting a fellow who it batting you, calling you coward and all sorts of names-but did.
 In answer to Mitchells frantic four ishes of the money and his loudly voiced challenges, I said to him: Mitchell, this fighting game is my business, just as it is yours. When give an exhibition, unless it is before my friends, or for the benefit of char ity, I expect to get paid for it. And I'll tell you right now I wouldn't do any ! fighting against you or any other man for $25-grudge or no grudge." You're afraid to fight me-" sneered Mitchell
 No, I'm not-and I'll prove it some day." I answered. I'm a business man and I'm not going to give any free exhibitions with you or any other man.
 But I'll make you this promise. After I fight Sullivan-and whip him-I'n take you on and give you a chance to win the championship
 With that I walked away. In September of 1892 defeated Sullivan and Mitchell at once began to lombard me with challenges. T was just as anxious to get a crack at him as he was at me. The things he said to me in the lobby of Miners theatre still hurt-and I was anxious to balm those wounds with revenge on Mitchell.
 Mitchell, who had gone back to Eng land in 1892, returned in 1893 accompanied | by Squire Abingdon Baird, a very wealthy Briton. It was reported at once 1 that Baird had brought over $100,000 to wager on Mtche1l's chances if a match was made with me.
 Charlie didn't have to wait an awfully long time for the signing of the articles 1 for fight with me. I was willing to oblige. I knew of Mitchell's prowess as a fighter. but never once did I feel l that I couldn't beat him in any round 1 that I willed. Mitchell then weighed around 165 pounds in fighting condi- l ton, was wonderfully fast, and had de- veloped quite punch.
 l The articles were signed in a New | York newspaper office. Dick Canfield | having heard that Squire Baird was willing to cover all bets on me. sent Al Smith to New York with 50 5000 bills 1 Al sought out Baird, but couldn't find him. and the s50oO0 was unplaced l Mitchell and I agreed to fight to fin- | ish at catch weights, for a purse of
