Thcro is now but llttlo douot but what the
prcat international championship light be
tween Charlie Mitchell nnd Jim Corbctt will
como off at Jacksonville on the Mill of Janu
ary , and the red hots throughout the country
are happy. While the consensus of opinion
Is that the American will win , and win
easily , there are good chances for n whole
lot of surprises , such as were exemplified In
the downfall of Sullivan and the Ed Smith-
Joe Ooddurd light. In the Englishman Cor-
bolt will find a vastly different sort of an
individual from the broken down and nlaycd
out big fellow , and It may ba that the very
garrulous nnd complacent bruiser from the
coast Is laying up for himself the material
fora very hitter humiliation. Ho , as usual ,
is talking ton much about hta own supreme
confidence. In his ability to smother Mr.
Mitchell , and in numerous other ways Is
making himself too conspicuous. Since his
drawing qualities as an actor have llttlo by
llttlo glimmered away , and ho has looked
upon the unaccountable prosperity of his
prospective opponent , ho has become inordi
nately querulous , Jealous and fretful.
Ho pretends to know more
nbout Mitchell's financial condition than
Mitchell himself and is eontlnnally whining
nbout what a good thing the light will bo
for the Englishman , win 'or lose. On this
head P. .1. Donohuo appositely remarks :
"According to Jim , the profit to Charlie will
be S18r > 0 ( ) In case the Englishman loses.
Jim lias figured out tn.it the Briton has a
live-weeks' engagement , netting$10,000 , that
lib will get back $3,000 of the sum posted by
Squire Ablngdon , that ho gets $2,500 for
training expenses and Jl.OOO on a hot from
Brndy.
"James don't say anything about his own
engagements In the theatrical line , or the
fact that ho gets back $ .1,000 of
his deposit and is given $0,000 ,
for training , and the thought occurs
that If Jim paid moro attention to his train
Ing and less to Mitchell's monetary affairs
the American public would bo bettor
pleased. "
Somehow or other there has always boon
too much newspaper gush over Jimmy's
trivial personal movements , his magnillccnt
appearance , his elegant manners , the per
pendicular style of his hair/ his condescen
sion to visitors heaven save the mark and
other notable characteristics too numerous
nnd too disgusting to mention. Tlio press is
( Overloaded with daily bulletins of his daily
mouthlngs , and thcro is a nauseating sur
plus of detail concerning him and his meagre
affairs generally. It would bo just as Inter
esting and edifying to know what Paddy
IJulTy ate for dinner yostcrday and how
many games of billiards ho played in the
evening. Ono Irishman is just ns good as
"any other Irishman lu this free country of
ours.
Notwithstanding the preponderance of
belief that Corbctt is going to have a big
blood pudding with Mitchell It may bo that
ha is taking desperate chances , Even If he
'does como out of the light victorious it
would bu to his credit to bo at least civil
nnd 'a bit modest before the fight takes
place. If the Englishman's alleged riotous
high living In the past ten years has uiidcr-
nijndcd bis wondrous strangth and
phenomenal ngillty ; If debauching and
excess have reduced him to a level so far
below the champion as the common hard of
"Bports-scom to Think , then lth"u latter may
vnn and win easily , nnd not otherwise.
In such.an ovcnt , in fact in any ovcnt , de
ducing the thought from Uorbolt's belittlement -
ment of Mitchell , U will bo a victory in
which Jimmy will bavo but emaciated
reason to plume himself , outsldo of the
emoluments of the gate. The most ho can
say will bo that , as in his only other great
fight , hu found his work moro than half
accomplished for him by decadence and
disease. Lot us suppose , however ,
that Mitchell is as sound as
n dollar , and that time nnd
dissipation have not deteriorated
Ills powers to the standard of popular
belief. What if ho is a good deal better
iunu llian any of us thought , what If ho
smashes Corbott so hard as to thoroughly
test the ever liviug charge that there is a
white streak in him what If ho licks the
pompous , FulstalTian American champion ?
What would the public think then of all
these ante-fight vaponngs and boasts , what
kind of reading would a reprint of these
dally nulletins make , any way. If Mitchell
wins iho 1,000 bet ho wants to make , that
ho secures the first knock down , it is golden
eagles to pewter half dollars that ho wins
Iho light. Joseph Unrtlott Choynski cracked
Jim on the nose once and ho would hava
stopped hfin had it not have boon for his
seconds , at least , that \vhatJoo says. Hut
laying the question of Covbelt's coin-ago
aside what nn Inglorious defeat it would bo
should Mitchell win after'all , and ho may ,
mind you , but 1 do not look for such an
ngrccablo happening. Still the old llrltlsh
lion may not bo quite BO badly worsted In his
go with Messrs. Mouopolo , 1'orrler Jouot
and I'omory , as Jimmy would have us bo-
llevo , but may bo yet capable of at least a
paroxysm of his former cunning and skill ,
and knock out the alleged Adonis of thu ring.

Tommy Hyan and Mysterious Hilly Smith
are to bump up against o.ich other asuln
next Tuesday night in the Casino building
at Boston. Again the go is for six rounds ,
and that it will bo six rounds of thu most
exhilarating sport Inmirlnablo gous without
saying. While no decision was returned at
thu end cf their llrsl mooting , it is an indis
putable fact that Uyan had all the best of It.
I do not base this assertion nn the personal
letter from Tommy himself setting forth
this fact , but on iho reports that appeared
In all the Now York dallies. In the third
round It was hammer and tongs and at itu
close Kyan had Smith groggy and against
the ropes In a position to ruceivo a quietus ,
when the gong sounded. After that Hilly
fought llko a drunken sailor and Tommy did
a good deal of sprinting , sandwiching the
name , however , with frequent props Into
Smith s mug , and whllo both wcro consider
ably worried at the end. a lot of good Judges
believed that all that Uyan lucked of a vic
tory was another round. What the outcome
of noxi Tuesday night's meeting will bo I
shall not presume to say , but I will null hard
for the Chicago boy. Smith Is a fast and
furious lighter and apt to got most any man
in short meter , hut I Imvo an insurmount
able faith in Tommy's get-away and tabbing
capabilities , and in this way the two clu-
incuts to success about baluncuciich other.
Once moro there seems some nort of a
show for at least another limited round go
between the inviiuuhlo English bantam ,
Billy Plimmer , and C.lmmptnn ( icorgu
Dixon , At Palorson , N. .1. , the other night ,
during the progress of I'llmmur's show ,
Dixon , with his manager , O'Kourke , ami
about thirty heelers , jumped uK | > n the atno
and nought to force I'llmmcr into meeting
the darkoy for four rounds , I'llmtnor re
fused , but consented to meet Dixon any
night ho might appear ut a weight not ox-
ceuding 11-1 pounds , Ho also added that this
was his ultimatum , and whenever the coffee-
bucd champion saw proper to welch in al
the ring sldo at these liuuros hu would battlu
him to a ilnUh for any elrod stake or pin-so.
This Is straight turkey , and O'Uourko , with
all his diplomacy , must yield or tacitly con
fess that ho deems I'llmmer the best man
of iho iwo al iho stipulated weight.

The Story ol tlio C r or ol Inilopondonoo
\VIIIIniM. :
The llnanclal misfortunes which have
overtaken C. W. Williams of Independence
fame recall ono of the most remarkable In
stances of success over recorded on olthor
the running or the trotting turf , writes
Domino in the St. Louis Ilopubllc. Ten years
ago Williams was driving a milk wagon in
the streets of Chicago , and In some manner
got hold of a couple of trottlng-bred brood
marcs very cheaply. Ho bred them to n
horse of almost unknown fame , although
eloscly related to soims of the mo.it fashiona-
bio sires of the country. The result was
two colts , which the youna owner named
Axtoll and Allerton. Both proved world
ucaters and Wllll.ims reaped a fortune.
Axtcll ho sold for $105OlK ) and Allorton ho
kept for stud purposes. The young man
had located on a iarm on the outskirts of the
little village of Independence ) . la. , nnd ho
conceived the Idea of building a track thet-o
to which all of the greatest trotters would
i-oino. Ho was lauthcd nnd scoffed at and
told that ho could not hope to succeed.
People would not attend the mooting In
enough numbers to recompense him for the
t'reat purses ho offered. Williams kept go
ing ahead , however , and finally announced
Ills plans. Ho had Ideas and wns not afraid
to express them. The most startling was
that the old circular track was not the ono
best adapted for speed contests. Ho be
lieved thai ono shaped like a kilo would bo
bettor and boldly proposed to build it. Then
the storm of rldiculo broke forth upon his
head again. Well , this young man did not
mind that and went ahead and built his
track , \vhon the first meeting was held his
i-onlldenco in his Idea was moro than Justi
fied. The track proved to bo the fastest ii
the country. Owners of fast hoi-sea clam
bered over each other in their haste to make
entries at Independence in order that their
animals might lower their records and thus
incrcaso their value. People wont hun
dreds of miles to witness Iho sensaliona"
races , and Iho little town grow from a place
of 100 inhabitants to a city of national inv
portance. Williams has boon a hustler fron :
way bunk , and that such a man should now
have misfortune ovcrlako him Is to bo ro
pretted. You can't keep a good man dowr
and Williams will soon bo Hying as hih ! as
over.

OMA.UA , Dec. 23. To the Sporting Editor

some hundreds of thousands hint been lillo.
The manufacturing tr.ulcs Imtl boon

Not only lu Its masnltiulo was the uonlllct

Industrial history. Tlio illsclnllno and
sturdy loyalty of the men. their faith In
their loaders and their canso and In the
final triumph ot Justice , stand forth as a
noble example to the wotld. With then-
funds exhausted , their homos stripped bare
and their wives and children starving they
stood together solidly , steady mid unllinuh-
inif. And the womun , who must 1mvo
suffered the most , oudurcil all without a
word of complaint for the sake of their hus
bands and brothers and bons.
U'lu'tl mill How It HI > IIIII ,
It was as long ace as last Juno that the
owners of the coal mines agreedamong
thumsolves that they could not'alford to con
tinue paying the high rate of wages then in
force so long as the price of coal was at its
then low standard. Their decision was com
municated to the minors , and a joint confer
ence was arranged to see what could bo
done. This conference was held in London
on Juno ! )0. ) There were present a larefo
delegation from the Coal Owners federation ,
ii well organized body formed expressly to
offset the advantage which the miner * derived -
rived from united action , and also the dozen
members of the executive committee of the
Minors Federation of Great liritaln. Among
those ) arc several of the most successful labor
leaders of England , such as Benjamin Pick-
ard and Sam Woods , both of them members
of the House of Commons. The claim of the
masters was laid uoforo the representatives
of the men , accompanied by a suggestion
that the whole case should be referred to an
arbitration court. Mr. Pii-lcard unhesitat
ingly replied that the men had won their 40
percent advance without recourse to arbi
tration , and they were unwilling to submit
their chance of maintaining it to any
tribunal in which they did not have the rul
ing voice.
Thus was sounded the bugle call to b.ittlo.
Ben Pickard stood there as the representa
tive of at least _ . > 0,003 men who were unani
mous in their determination not to accept ,
under any circumstances , a reduction in
their already miserably poor waacs. What
these were is much in dispute. The men
wore paid by the piece and the amount of
money they drew , of course , varied largely
from week to week. They claimed that
for some time previous to the outbreak of
the strike their average had been loss than
15 shillings a wcolr , while on the other hand
Instances have boon more or less reliably
recorded of men who have made as much us
5 by one week's work. Such instances , of
course , are at the bojc very rare and it i
likely that the correct ilguro should oo cor
tuinly under 1 for the average.
For a "Living" Wngc.
With the men the light was simply for a
bare "living wage. " They contended 'that
they could not live , they could not supply
the necessaries of life for themselves and
their families , for any smaller pittimca tnan
they were then receiving. With the masters
it was. according to their own statements , a
question of whether they could operate the
mines otherwise than at a financial loss to
themselves. The men claimed that the first
consideration in making contracts for sup
plying coal should bo that a wage largo
euoueh to make life possible , 1C not to make
it worth the living , could bo spared to the
toilers without infringing on the capitalist's
narrow margin of profit.
Thus the light resolved itself Into a duel
to the death between a very powerful
trades union and an equally well
organized association of employers. And
the result has proved , at immense cost , the
superiority of the men's union. England's
compactness gives u far greater power to
her trades unions than has yet been found
possible in this country , but among all such
unions none is stronger than tlio Minors
federation. ITor many years all the coal
miners of the country , to a man , have been
organized into county associations. Most ot
thcso associations have been further banded
together in the Federation of Great Britain ,
but the counties of Durham , with 74.0JU ,
and Northumberland , with iir.UOO men , have
in all previous difficulties had to depend on
their own resources. The federation all
through has been strongly agitating for an
eight-hour law , and this it is that kept
the associations of the two northern
counties from Joining hands with them.
The Scotch miners are also independent of
the federation. Last year the Durham men
wore engaged in a disastrous strike against
a reduction of wages , at the unsuccessful
termination of which they joined the federa
tion. At the time of the conference be
tween the federation and the masters on
Juno DO , referred to above , the Northumber
land association wus in negotiation for ad
mittance to thu federation , and they actually
received their admission papers a few days
later ,
Hud Unit ISIttor ICxporlpnnu.
When th3 notice of the ! 35 percent reduc
tion was given , therefore , the Northumber
land and Durham miners were fully ex
pected to assist their brothers in the federa
tion in the light thuy intended to mako.
Hut those two .counties demurred. They
had not been Included In tliu notices of re
duction and theirs could only have been , In
effect , it strike of sympathy. The Durban
men had too fresh in their minds the fright
fill strugirlo they had gone through only last
year and both they and their neighbors it
Northumberland had had the wage < | uostioi
settled by suomitting to very substantial re
ciuclluns.
Then also a number of colliers in South
Wales , whoso association [ 3 in the fi-ilera-
tion , were also oxumpt from thu notices 01
reduction. They have been working foi
several years under a sliding scale , unit al
though they did eventually turn out their
strike was entirely independent of the gen
eral one and they were only out for a few
weeks.
On July 1 ! ) delegates representing SiVS.lOO
minors , but from districts where 4(50,077 ( inoi
are employed in and about the pits , met at
Birmingham. These delegates hud beoi
specially nlocicd by the members of the va
rious associations and included represent ! !
lives from Durham and Northumberland
The Durham delegates recommended urbl
muiou , but tlio vote went in favor of i
strike by 103,00(1 ( to r.0,000. It was then do
elded , with a vlqvv to securing the co-opera
tiun of Durham and Northumberland , tlin
those districts which had rocolvoi
no notice of nn Intended reduction
in wages should demand an advance
c < iual to the reductions which had ueuri mudo
during thu last two years. Kventunlly'tho
miners of the two northern counties wuru
asked to vote on how fur tho.v were ready to
go In this direction , and In each case their
decision wus against joining in the strike.
Kxtrut of tlio Hluipii- | : | ,
Thus , although every miner t-amo out fron
Yorkshire on the northeast to Somersetshire
on the southwest , tlin extent of the strike
full far short of what hud boon planned by
the onictals of the federation. Thuy had In
tended that very llttlo short of luilf u mil
lion men should be idle and the coal produc
lion of Grunt Britain should be at a stand
still. And the fuel that tnls uxpcctatloi
wus not fully rualizod caused much foa
among the men and their sympathisers thu
their move would not succeed.
During the WCGK ending July ' , 'Jl&i2S :
miners left tucir pits , These cui-i out- - '
loticos from the employers. Two wooki
ator . W.ttZ-t others , who had Riven notice of
heir intention to Join the fight came out
mdor notices they had handed In In accord-
mco with ( v decision of the Hlrmlncham con
ference on July SO. Reckoning that only three
persona were dependent for their living on
o.\ch Idle miner , it appears that about four
of every 100 people In England were directly
iffoclod by the stoppage. And most of thcso
vero destined for week after week , month
nfter month , to keep oody and ioul together
on a miserable llttlo dole from the union
colTor , which was replenished from time to
line by contributions from a very sympa
thetic public.
rtincli fur tlio 11 nn cry.
iU the end of 1SW the assets of the Minors
federation , apart from about 10.03. ) worth
of buildings , amounted to ClW.OiK ) . These
wcro entirely expended long before the
strike ended. H Is estimated that nfter that
Cio.OlX ) a week came In from levies from
mtiors who were working , but this sum
was larger than at the opening of the
; le , for when the money was getting short
.he federation agreed to permit iho men lo
return to work whenever they had the
uhaneo to do so at iho old rate of wages ,
t'hls soon loft fewer mouths to bo lllle.l and
the contrlbullons of the 20,003 er DO.OJO who
; hin began to cam ag.Un were most welcome
to these who continued to bear the brunt of
the battle.
Thus things went along. Several times
masters and mon met to try to reach an
agreement , but every attempt was a failure.
In some places the strikers maddened by
hunger and wllh yel no light ahead broke
out into riot and smashed the inni-hlnory
mil buildings about the plt'3 iiioulh. Kueh
oulbre.iKs , however , were comparatively
uncommon , but In one or two tnstiinrcs they
resulted in loss of life as well as destruction
of property.
llCKlntiln ; of tlin Und.
When the iirospcot wa * darkest , three
months after the opening of the struggle and
neither siilo having shown the slightest sign
of weakening , wills wcro made on the
jovornnient to Intervene. People had UORUII
to feel thut something must bo done to put
an end to a condition of afl'ilrs that was well
nigh Intolerable. The objection to govern
mental interference in a purely trade clis-
Duto was fully realized , but It was thought
that every other means of effecting a sotllo-
nent having failed , it was lime , in the in
terests of the nation , that the nation's rep
resentatives should try what their inlluonce
: ould do.
The men continued to declare that under
10 circumstances would they consent to a re-
luctlon in their wages , however small.
They preferred to starve to living like dogs ,
they said. Anil the representatives of the
owners could not bring themselves , after
invlnir asked for a reduction , to go bade on
their word at the bidding of a few labor
ig'.lators. Yet there was a fooling among
ill classes that each side was so anxious for
loace that any straw that held out any hope
of a trcaly , or even a temporary truce'would
ba cageily caught at.
llosnlirrjr's itriinrdlimrjInlliiciicr. : .
This was the mood the men und the mas
ters were in when they received Air. Ciltid-
slono's invitation to a friendly conference.
As a result of the stress of public : fooling in
.ho matter the cabinet had met and decided
to take action ; and on the evening of the
same day , November 14 last , the House of
Commons was informed of what was to bo
lone. The government was not going lo in
terfere , that is to say thcroas to be no
uressuro used to induce cither side to give in
io the other. Hut they had each been asked
.a meet , In the foreign ollieo in London , with
Lord Uoaebory in the chair to pour oil on
the troubled waters , and in these favorable
loaco-provoking surroundings to try their
3est to roach an agreement. The fact that
Lord Uosobery , whoso singular knack of
making a success of every good thing ho
sots his hand to , coupled with his sympathy
for all forward movements and especially
with every aspiration of the toiling masses ,
has so mideurcd him to the working people
of England , was to bo their mascot ,
gave the miners conHdenco and they
accepted the invitation willingly , feel-
inq somehow that good was bound to come
of it ; while the owners , knowing Lord Itose-
bery's probity and sterling integrity , felt
equally satisfied to trust themselves to his
intlucnco.
How Iho I'.lidVas Kn.irliiul.
They met. What took place , by what
means the foreign secretary and minister
of tlio crown succeeded in calming the ? hostile
fooling that existed between the combatants ,
how the owners were prevailed upon to ire
back on their word , or who made the sugnos-
tion that was llnally accepted as a basis of
setlloinent , is yet a secret. Hut this much
is known and this is all thut is really im
portant , that a treaty was signed and that
the mon returned to work within three
days , save where the condition of
the pit , after four months idle
ness , prevented it. The terms of the
settlement show a very decided triumph for
the strikers. A strike may bo a barbaric
weapon for laboring mon to use to nelnovo
their aims , but it is always Justilled by suc
cess. In this instance the men bad been
striking against a reduction in their wages
and they returnpd to work after sixteen
weary weeks at the same wages they were
getting when they went out.
The second clause of the agreement was
equally as interesting us the lirst. It was a
recognition of the principal of arbitration in
labor disputes. It provided that a board of
arbitration be formed , lo consist of twenty-
eight members and a chairman. The Minors
federation and the Co.il Owners association
were each to elect fourteen representatives
of their own side of the case and these were
to choose a chairman , who was lo be in no
way i-onncetcd wllh the coal trade. If they
fall to agree on a chairman the speaker of
tlio House of Commons is to bo nsucd to
name one. The llrst mcctlnt ; of this board
is to bo hold on December lit and Its duty Is
to llx the rate of wages at which the minors
shall bo paid from and after February 1
noxt. This board is to continue to exist for
at least ono year , and if it Is found to work
satisfactorily for an hidelinito time longer ,
riukiinrx IJiH'OinpriMiiIsliifr Attttiulr.
Next to the staunchness and unllini-hing
loyalty of the man , one other cause stands
out as responsible for the success of the
movement. Mr. 1'k-k.ird's firmness , his ron-
siBtcnt altitude of uncompromising give-
nothingness , did much to win the men their
great victory. It is not ihellrst time that
Hou I'lekiu-d has proved himself a true
friend of the collli-r , and It won't bo tlio
last , lie has shown himself at a critical
time In the history of trades unionism as n
man In whom the workers could place im
plicit confidence und nn whom they i-ould
rely to bring thorn successfully through
their struggles.
Once established and proved to bo success
ful thoru is every rca&on lo hope lhat the
principle of arbitration in labor troubles
will bo moro and more fully roco nixed , and
costly though this strike wns , it will not
hava been altogether in vain if the promise
of anew era in Industrial warfare ) , which it
appears to have opened up.'bo fulfilled. A
great deal depends upon Iho ehvlion of a
chairman for Ihls llr.st coiti-iliation board.
H ho bo a man In whuin both oidus have im
plicit c-onlldenco there U ovoiy reason to ex
pect that tlui experiment will bo a success ,
and for this reason every effort Is now helm :
directed in England to securing a good rhair-
inan. Every one hopea It will bo Lord liana-
