J. J , Corbctt , the big San . Francisco pugil
ist who recently vanquished Jake Kllrainund
Domlnlck McCaffrey , two of the cleverest
heavy-weights In the world , was In the city
n few hours yesterday afternoon en ronto
homo from Now York Ho called at Tun BIH :
ofllco nnd ImUilgcd In a llttlo desultory chat
with the sporting editor. Ho was neatly at
tired lit a fashionable darkgrocn cheviot suit ,
and looked bigger , and handsomer , and more
nfTnblo even than when hero four weeks ago.
Ho expressed a regret that he was notable to
top oil here and meet Omaha's representa
tive sporting men , but added that ho might
bo seen hero again next fall. In regard to
the report that ho was hurrying back homo
to avoid a meeting In the c.ist with Sullivan ,
lie said emphatically and decidedly :
"That's all bosh , all Ixwh ; all my friends
know that it is absolutely necessary for mete
to be In 'Frisco by May 2 , as I am under con
tract with the Olymiilo club of that
city , and my vacation has already
mil out. I am not afraid to meet Sullivan ,
Jackson , Kllrain or any other man in the
world , with or without gloves , for that mat
ter , but fighting just now is not my busi
ness. "
"But you expect to meet some of those men
JIml"
"That I do , " ho rejoined eagerly , "and It
will be sooner , probably , than most people
Huspfct. As I told yon when 1 mot you hero
In Omaha a month ago , I do not bcllevo the
man lives who c-.tn whip Sullivan. Ho is
much more powerful than I am , but I do not
think he is as quick or scientific as 1 am my
self , and if wo had met in a four round contest -
test with pillows I honestly think I would
have bested him , or can do It yet. But best
ing and whipping a man are two distinct af
fairs. "
"How about McCaffrey 1"
"Oh , that's u horse of n different color. I
cnn not only best Doni , but I can lick him to
boot. Ho mndo a sad failure nt execution in
his bout with mo In Brooklyn , and my , what
n sore mug ho was. I tell you it broke his
.iieari.
"And iCilraml"
"I can onlv make the same declaration In
. , regard to Jake. But you'll think 1 have taken
In n little of the bragadocio since my former
visit licit1 , but I have not. What I say I hon
estly Ix.'lli've. Kilrain was as easy a big mark
its 'I over tackled and all his anxiety to meet
iniO'is'sltnply the outcropping of the severe
, hiding I administered to him in New Orleans.
It was enough to make him feel sore , for as
I said to you before , ho was never in it. I
was as much surprised as ho was. "
I low about Jackson ( "
"SVcll , I think his match with Sullivan now
is u foregone conclusion. Tfio California
athlete club , an you have seen by the telegraph -
( graph , have voted the $20.000 purse demanded
by Sully , and you bet ho will go after It.
What n light , that will make , but 1 can name
the winner for a few hundreds , nnd it went
be the Australian cither. I tell you , Sandy.
i there will be twice as much inonev won and
lost on that light as there was on the Hecnan-
Saycrs battle In 1SGO. "
"But if the fight Isn't made , then what ?
Will you fight him ' .
"Yes , 1 will. Idldliopo that I would not
bo'co'lnpellod to adopt lighting as a profess-
-toii , but I will bo compelled now to
meet at least ono of the king
" liccs , or I'll .get , roasted from coast to
coast. Fight the colored gentleman ? Well ,
rather. I'd rather meet him wljh the naked
'nns than .Sullivan with the regulation mils.
But I am in no hurry to precipitate matters.
As I said before , I am not afraid to meet any
man in the world , and I think when the time
comes for mo to face any ono of thesu invincl-
blw I will be able to give a satisfactory ac
count of myself. "
' 'Tell mo something about Choynski , Cor-
bett. Wo have a man how who is going to
Frisco to tight him some time next month. "
"Who Is hoi"
" .lack Davis. "
> "Jack Davis ! I never heard of him
Where's ho from 3"
"You've got mo there. But 1 think from
somewhere out about Leadvllle. "
"Bvcr done any thing t"
"Not that I have over heard of "
"Well , ho must have his gall with him.
What will ho weigh nnd what kind of n man
is hoi"
"He'll fight , nt about 170 , nnd Is n very
lithe , actlvu and well built young fellow , but
I do not rate him as high as many of his
friends do hero. Ho is ono of your showy
sparrors , very graceful , but not over clover. "
"Well , he'll learn a sad lesson when ho
meets Joo. I tell you there are but few men
living who have any license to whip Chovn-
skl. Ho is a glutton for punishment and a
natural horn lighter , a hard man at tiny stage
of the game. 1 wouldn't be afraid to stake a
few hundreds that Davis will never step In
the same ring with him. "
After a little further conversation about the
manner nnd modus of conducting contests In
.California , Corbett arose , shook hands , anil
with the remark , "I'll let you hear from mo , "
took his departure. Ho Is the coming clnim-
ploli.

Kcturn of President Dick.
President Dlcic McCormick returned from
Denver lust evening , where ho has been for
the post week watching his baseball lambs
'
"act up" on the diamond. Ho is looking rosy
and happy , notwithstanding the first part of
the panorama ho witnessed in the mountains
made his eyes sore.
"Tho boys are rounding to allO. K. , " boob-
served , "and by the time they return hero they
will have struck their gait. Then look out
for a string of victories. "
"Did any of them distinguish themselves nt
Denver , Mr. President i"
"Yes , they did. Canavan made the gront-
, cst homo run hit I ever saw. Why , I believe
ho could have ambled around the buses twice
on that rap. Moran , too , caught as prettily
us over Tom Naglodld. and several of the
others were guilty of some very brilliant
work , But you ought to see my new 'find , '
Sommorshe's pitching like a house afire.
Ho's practicing every day , and I really think
Is the making of u star twlrler. Yes , the
team will bj hero Friday , and Sat unlay you
will see thorn annihilate the Corn Huskers
maybe. " _

WASIIIXOTO.V , April 22. In the house toda\
Mr. Harrison of Pennsylvania presented c
memorial from the Manufacture ; * ' club ol
Philadelphia , representing many millions o
capital Invested in American industries am
many thousands of workmen earning . Ameri
can wages , In favor of prompt notion on tariff
legislation which shall checlc the importation
of articles , produced by our own people. He-
ferred.
The house then went Into committee of the
whole , Mr. Paysonof Illinois In the chair , on
the legislative appropriation bill , the pend
ing question being on a motion to strlUu out
the clause providing clerics for Benntors.
After considerable debate the motion to strike
out was lost.
In speaking to n verbal amendment Mr-
Kelley of Kansas replied to a remark by Mr.
Allen , to the effect that some newly appointed
postmasters in Mississippi had moved their
oillcos Into the country , by saying that ho had
learned tit the iKwtoftlco department that In
some places It had been ImiHMsIblo for the re
publican postmaster to secure n location in
town and lie was obliged to go Into the coun
try. He also read a letter from Postmaster
Finlev of Abbeville , S. C. , stating , that
shortly after his appointment he was sctupon
by n mob led by the son of Congressman
Cotchmn , t > cateii with barbed wires and
ordered to leave town. This provoked a
heated political debate.
Mr. Knloo asked if Air. Kclley wrote the
letter for the postmaster , and Mr. TColloy re
plied that he had , because , On account of the
beating received , Finley's arm was paralyzed.
These statements were received with inuch
derisive laughter on the democratlo side ,
which led Mr. Howcll of Illinois to remark
that the gentlemen on the other side thought
it was funny to hear accounts of murder mid
beating with barbed wires.
Mr. Kclley proceeded to read from letters
of southern postmasters to First Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson complaining of
outrages.
In the course of the discussion Mr. Tarsncy
asked about the litigation going on between
Mr. Kelley and his son against a colored con
gregation in Fort Smith to prevent the erec
tion of a colored church on the ground that it
was a nuisance.
Mr. Kelley denied any such litigation nnd
said ho didn't own any land in Arkansas.
Messrs. McKay and Hogers , however , stated
that Mr. ICi > llt v's son \vns invnlvrd in sur'h
litigation.
Mr. Allen of Mississippi said the gentle
man from Kansas seemed to bo recognized as
the mouthpiece of the postofllcc department
of the administration. There never had been
a time in the history of the G. 0.1' . when
southern outrages were more necessary for
tTio purposes of that party. It had goneto
the wall on the tariff , busted higher than a
kite on-tho civil service ; the elections were
going ngaiust it , nnd if it could not carry the
election on southern outrages the chances of
the G. O. P. were gouo. Ho had in his desk
a leng list of Kansas outrages , but would not
descend to that sort of debate.
Cothruu of South Carolina , speaking of the
Abbeville matter , said after the war a north
ern man was appointed postmaster and served
until Arthur's term , when ho died and Ills
widow succeeded him. 'When this adminis
tration came In Finley illed an application in
which ho misrepresented and defamed the
character of the postmistress. This created
a feeling against him , and a number of young
men , including Cothr.in's son , went to Fin-
ley's hoti.se one night and niiido a demonstra
tion , but not for the purpose of doing him any
hiirm. With a guilty conscience the man ran
out of the back door , nnd in jumping down
broke his leg. The young men Sent fora phy
sician and paid all expenses.
Mr. Jtotfcrs of Arkansas called attention to'
the fact that under leave to print , Mr. Kciloy
had printed in the record vile calumnies ou
the state of Arkansas , and proceeded to Score
Mr. Kelley sharply. Ho then road a long list
of Kansas outrages und asked if it wasn't
time that Mr. Kelley should oxerclso his
luminous intellect in home missions. In the
course of his remarks ho bitterly assailed
"Poker Jack" McClure , who has been ap
pointed to conduct certain government cases
in Arkansas.
Mr. Featherstono of Arkansas replied
sharply to'Mr. Hogers , defending Judge Mo-
Uluro and Powell Clayton. Ho ( Feather-
stone ) was not there to defame Arkansas , but
it seemed to bo a crlinn to toll the truth. The
party in power in Arkansas rested its power
not on the votes of an honest majority , butou
stuffed ballot boxes.
Pending further discussion the committee
rose and the house adjourned.
Senate.
WitinsiiTo.v , April 23. In the senate to
day Mr. Sherman , from the committee on for

Ucugaii'.s bill concerning the irrigation of arid

Mr , Kengan spoke In support of his bill re
pealing nil laws for the retirement of army ,

noon the convention considered the subject of

discussion about how to improve school
houses and grounds , and n resolution was
adopted asking county superintendents all
over the state to tuku designs
for model school houses to the

reiuest | the association to npixilnt a commit
tee of live to clKHXso the live best plans from
this collection and then ask the state Niiixn-ln-
tendcnt to incorporate them In his next an

BEK. The city council enjoyed ono of the
busiest and liveliest kind of sessions last
evening , being the first real business meet
ing of the new council and new city adminis
tration. Considerable business was transac
ted but the principal point of interest was
centered in the appointments to municipal
affairs by the new mayor , over which there
has been considerable ofu hitch. Mutters
move along smoothly enough in the nomina
tions of Click for city marshal , J. C. Hunter
for board of public 'works chairman , Oscar
Stout for city enginneer , George A. Murphy
for city attorney , and Jesse Brown for street
tommissioncr , all of whom were confirmed ;
but D. Wheelock for water commissioner a
vigorous kick at once arose. The vote on
Wheolock's confirmation was n tie and Mayor
Tail exercised his statutory prcroativo of
casting the deciding vote for Wlieel-
ock's confirmation. Messrs. Dorsoy
and Walker , members of the council ,
entered a formal protest against the proceed
ing , but the mayor declared it carricMi all the
same. Mr. Wheelock had his bond in readi-
nass and it was declared approved , and so the
mayor invested him with all the rights , au
thorities and privileges of water commis
sioner.
This morning Mr. Wheelock presented him
self nt the water commissioner's office to take
possession , but was met with a rebuff in the
person of the old water commissioner , W. A.
Wagner , who failed to recognize the legality
of Wheclock's claim to the ofllco and declined
to surrender the same to him. The ofllco door
was subsequently forced open by a policeman
under orders of the mayor during the tem
porary absence of Mr. Wagner and his clerk ,
and Wheelock was ensconced in possession.
Wagner returned shortly afterward and real
izing the situation declined to transfer the
keys , goods or chattels of the ofllvo to Wheel
ock , and both are consequently still holding
the fort. The mayor has directed that new
locks bo placed on the doors and that the keys
be given into the possession of Mr. Wheelock.
Mr. Wagner has signified his Intention to
file his resignation for the council to net upon
at its next meeting , Tuesday evening , April
21) ) . Ho declines to recognize the authority of
the mayor to accept his resignation hence
does not tender it to that official direct.
Wagner began injunction proceedings in
the district court this afternoon against
Wheelock holding possession of the water
commissioner's office. Judge Broadv issued
n temporary restricting order and Wheelock
was ousted. The case Is set for hearing Mon
day next. Proceedings In quo warranto will
bo brought against Wagner by City Attorney
