PEIZE FIGHT IS OFF. ' FITZSIMMONS SAYS THERE WILL BE NO SET-TO. Both Brntzrrs Beforo tho Little Rock Courts—They Both Tnlk Bravely— Fltzslmmoos Sore on the Athletle Club J'jy management and Citizens of Hot Springs—Bis Trainer Quits Him. The Pugilistic Fiasco. IjIttlk Kock, Ark., Nov. 3.—No matter what the result of the legal proceedings may be, the chances are now 100 to 1 that there will be no fight between Corbett and Fitzsim mons. The latter said at 11 o'clock to-day, positively and in good, terse English, which admitted of no misun derstanding or misconstruction: “Thero will be no fight in Arkansas. I am done with tho Florida Athletic club and have no use for the citizens of Hot Springs. I tell you that there will be no fight in Arkansas.” The assertion was made during a conversation in Fitzsimmons’ room in the Capital hotel, Julian, his manager, made a long statement of the troubles ho had endured from Corbett and Brady, and said: “We are going to Hot Springs when we get through here, hut we will have nothing to do with the 6ght in which the Florida Athletic Club and the citizens of Hot / Springs, Brady, Corbett and the reat of that gang have auything to do.” “Do you mean that you will not fight in any deal that may be man aged by either the Florida Athletic Club or by the citizens of Hot Springs?" was asked of Fitzsimmons, and the.reply came like a flash: “I mean just that. I will engage in no fight managed by the Florida Athletic Club or by the citizens of Hot Springs. There will be no fight in Arkansas.” Earlier in the interview Fitzsim mons declared that he would not fight in this state if it was against the law. “I am a law abiding citizen, I am,” he saiu, “and I will not break the law. I do not want to go to prison if I know myself.” Harry White, trainer for Fitzsim mons said that he did not believe that there would be any fight at all between his man and Corbett. “The fact is,” said White, “Fitzsimmons is afraid, and a span of oxen will not drag him into the ring. I know this is so and I have told Fitzsimmons that I will train with him no longer. I'm disgusted with the way he acts. He is afraid of Corbett and you will see that ho will never fight him. I have nothing against Fitzsimmons except that I know he does not mean busi ness in this thing.” In company with his manager, Brady, and his trainers, McVey, Dela ney and Donaldson, Corbett arrived here at 10 o'clock this morning. When asked as to the possibility of any trouble between him elf and Fitz simmons here, Corbett said: “Well, some!hinp of that kind may happen, but if it does Fitzsimmons will have to start it. I won't begin it. But I want to say right now that if that fel low does begin any funny work he is going to get licked, and get licked good and hard. There is no kin l of a fighting game at which I am not the superior of Fitzsimmons, and. I will prove it. in quick shape if he drags me on. 1 simply will wait for him to start things if he wants to, and then I'll lay him out ccld. I am tired of all this fooling with him, and 1 won’t stand any nonsense.” ANSWERS HIS ACCUSERS. Judge Kilfore Takes Up the Charges Against Him and Denies Them. Washington, Nor. 2.—Attorney Gen eral Harmon lias received from Judge Kilgore of the United States Circuit court of the Southern district of the In dian Territory, his answer to the charges filed by W. O. Davis of Gaines ville, Texas, on September 18 last. These charges allege incompetency, oppression in office, gross official misconduct, etc. The judge takes up each charge in detail and in some in stances quotes from the court records with a view to showing that the eliarges are unqualifiedly false. Judge Kilgore says Davis’ charges originated in the disagreement between him and the master in chancery in the case of Armour Brothers’ banking companies case against Adington et al, during the dependency of which Davis, Judge Kilgore says, deliberately sought to' take advantage of the friendly rela tions previously existing between them to influence him, the judge, in behalf of his client Lcm' Murderers to Be Tried. Washington, Nov. 2.—Minister Ter fel! has succeeded in moving the Turk ish government to punish the men who murdered Bicyclist Lenz in Armenia.

This official was the first person to learn of Lena's murder, and as there was no American consul in that vicinity he actively interested himself in the case and reported the results of his investigation to Mr. Terrili.

He Break* Down WIiDe Mis* Yoke Te» tiflee Against Him. Pbii.adei.fhta, Nov. 2.— For abou* thirty minutes yesterday the nerve which all men have marveled at for sook Holmes, and he sunk his head into his hands and sobbed like a child. Meanwhile the woman he persists in calling his wife, and upon whom he had pinned his highest hope, sat two yards away, relating a story that slowly but surely tightened the noose around his neck. Throughout her testimony Miss Yoke, for so she calls herself, never once bestowed a passing glance npon the man she onee lived with. The case progressed so swiftly that but few witnesses remain to be heard before the closing of the common wealth's case. Then the defense will open, and in spite of Holmes’ state ment that he would himself testify and also call Miss Yoke, his counsel privately stated that the defense would offer no defense, but submit the case on argument alone. The attorney ex pressed confidence in his acquittal. Their first victory was gained last night. The defense strenuously ob jected to _ the introduction oi any further evidence touching the alleged murder of the children. The jury were temporarily taken to their room. Elaborate arguments followed, at the end of which Judge Arnold sustained the contention. HOW ENGLAND FIGHTS. _ i The Hon Beady to Bounce Upon the King of Ashanti.

THE NICARAGUA PROJECT UN DER DISCUSSION. The London Times Has a Three-Column Article an the Subject—American Con trol the Best—The Project Cannot be Carried Through by Private Enterprise —The United States Should Take Hold. The Nicaragua Canal. London, Oct. 29.—The Times to-day publishes a three column article on the proposed ship canal, to join the Atlan tic and Pacific oceans, through the re public of Nicaragua. The articlo is written by A. R. Colquehoun, who was especially sent by the Times to Nicar agua at about the time the United States government commission went to that country in order to report upon the feasibility of the plans of the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua and the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company. In Nicaragua, Mr. Colquehoun met the United States commissioners, and . is understood to have thoroughly Studied the plans for the interoceanio waterway. lie arrived at the conclu sion that the project could not be car ried through as a private enterprise, but that it must be under the aus pices of some strong government which without doubt, must be the United States. He is convinced that the cost of cutting the suggested waterway will be nearer 8150,000,000 than 8100, 000,000. Continuing, Mr. Colqnehoun says: “As regards the the political aspect, confidential communications are said to have passed between the British and United States government and no objections have been raised. In any case it would seem that, under the Clayton-Bulwer tteaty of 1850, any connection between the Atlantic and the Pacific by a ship canal through Nicaragua will have to be neutralized in the same way as the Suez canal in 1888. The object of the bill recently passed by the United States Senate, it is practically clear, is to acquire control of the canal. This is i matter which concerns not only the United States, but the world at large, more especially Great Britain. But for the obstacles hindering the United States government itself in undertak ing the construction, it would have been completed long ago. The work is so great, the benefits are so tran sceudant, and the interests involved ire so vast and complex, that it should be removed from the chances of pri vate enterprise, affected as it would be by the stringency of the fluctua tions of the money market and the at titude of the governments of Nicar agua and Costa Rica.” Mr. Colquehoun also inspected the route of the proposed canal through the Isthmus of Panama, and he esti mates that, even if it is feasible, -not more than one-third of the work has been executed and that it would cost largely over 8200,000.000 to complete It. He regards the Chagres river and the Culebra cut portion of the Panama Janal plans as being insurmountable obstacles to the completion of that undertaking. A LATE CONVENTION. Senator Carter Hints That the Last of June May He Selected. Washington, Oct. 29.—Senator Car ter, chairman of the Republican Na tional committee, said to-day as to the probable time of holding the next Republican convention, that he had not conferred with the other members of the committee in regard to the date, but as six months' notice must be given after the meeting of the com mittee, the convention could not be called earlier than about the middle of June. He thought, however, that it would be the general desire to have the convention not meet until after the adjournment of congress, and he did not think it probable that congress would be ready to adjourn until about the middle of June. A fair inference from Senator Car ter’s remarks is that the convention would not be called to meet earlier than the last of June. DURRANT ACCUSED. A Letter Charge. That Six Men Were “Coached” to Attack Mr. Gibson. San Francisco, Oct. 29.—The cor oner to-day received a letter signed George Reynolds, saying that the writer’s body would be found in the bay, -and confessing that he had been employed by the at torneys of Theodore Durrant to man ufacture testimony in the mur der cases of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams. The letter declared that five other men were also em ployed by the defense to make false statements. The object was to con vict the Rev. J. Oeorge Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church, of the murder of both girls. Each of the five was to swear to a part of the story, which in its entirety would probably convict Gibson. The letter was accompanied by a type-written statement which, the letter said, Reynolds was instructed by the defendant’s attorneys to swear to. The police are investigating the matter and will not admit that the letter is a hoax. To necp Out Texas revet.

Martin, alias Williams, a farmer of Hopewell town ship, last Wednesday evening, two more victims were added to the tragic affair. At 1:30 o’clock a mob of leO infuriated men, many of whom were under the iuilitence of liquor, attacked the jail in an effort to secure Martin and hang him. A volley from half a dozen Winchesters met them and two of the mob were killed. They were Henry Mutohler, Jr., and Christian Malz. As the mob made a rush toward the jail they emitted yells that were blood curdling, eclipsing any savage yell ever uttered. A squad of policemen, who had stationed themselves on the steps, were whisked to one side as though they were so many straws. Of ficer ICeiffer, who made a brave and fierce resistance,was struck on the head with a sledge and brutally kicked, lie was carried home unconscious aud. has been hovering between life and death. Officer Fisher was thrown against a brick wall and partially stunned, and Officer Ilennessy was tumbled over in the grass and kept there by a ruffian who held a murder ous looking club over him and threat ened death if he did not lie still. The other officers were treated in the same way. The mob went direct to the side entrance and commenced the on slaught on the door with their sledges. The door was broken into splinters in a short time. With eacli blow the fury of the crowd increased. When the entrance was gained theer was a wild rush, aud the hallway was filled with excited men. Sheriff Van Nest and three men stood in the op posite end. lie appealed to them most bravely and strongly several times, asking them, for God's sake, to dis perse. It did no good, for the men only grew fiercer. The entrance to the corridor is first protected by a heavy sheet iron door. The lock was broken off with a few blows, and then there remained the heavy grating. Then it was that the guards, who were in that portion, began to fire. At first they shot over the rioters’ heads. A guard said the men swore to kill every person inside, and, to show their purpose, they began to fire at them. The guards said no shot was fired by them until the attacking party bad fired through the grating first. Henry Mutschler, the first man killed, was the one who carried the rope. lie was shot through the left temple, the ball coming out on the right side, and he died instantly. Then Christ Matz received a bullet through the heart. He was picked up dead. This awful work and the deter mination of the guards awed the would-be lynchers, and they left the place, cursing and wilder than ever. Between 3 and 4 o'clock, after the mob had moved further down the street, the prisoner was handcuffed, taken through a side door, and then to a side alley, where a corriage was in waiting. Police Captain Faulkner and Officer Sweeney took him to San dusky county as fast as the horses could carry them. Kansas Uuantrell War Claim. Wasiiingtojt, Oot. 23.—W. W.
