LONDON , .Ian. 'JS [ Nexv York Hciald
Cable Special to the IHt. ] During the
queen's absence .lohn L. Sullivan nppcurs to
be doing the honors at Windsor , 'fire public
may be surprised to learn that he docs not
reside in the place. John takes onlj' an In
different interest in the paluec. He enjoj-s
himself doxxn at " "
vastly rnoie "Cliippj"
Norton's generally knoxvn social. Adelaide
hotel In these original quarters Sulllx'an
has been installed since he began training ,
us nlrcady mentioned in the Herald. A
Herald reporter this afternoon found film out
doing his aftcinoon spin , but scveial
members of the company xxerc found enjoy
ing a quiet game of nap xvhilo axxaiting the
mnstci's coming.
The Sullix'qn company compiiscs four
trainers and Business Manager Holskc. The
order of exercises in the pugilistic conimu-
nltj' consists llrst in amending to John L
and second in talking about him. John nccs
nt a. in. and after a light breakfast starts
out for u xvalk , accompanied bj' txxo
trainers For so huge n man he xvalks ra ] > -
idlj" , making elcx-en miles easilj- txx'o hours
In the afternoon the same thing is rciicated ,
so that he noxv axeintrcs about txxentj' miles
u day. These walks me alxx-ajs folloxved
by an elaborate pioicss of tubbing down ,
xvhich rccpalres the united efforts of txxo
assistants In the exeninp , after a sub
stantial dinner , Mr. Siilli\-nn strolls about
toxxn , to the edification of the nntrx'cs , and
llnnllj'ho ends his ( tax's labois bj'retiring
promptly at 10 o'clock. Ho hus turned aside
resolutely fiom the floxxing pathos of case
and Captain Hroxxcr sajs John nex or in his
life xx orkcd so hard as he is doing noxx' . He
told us the other day thut ho xvas
going to finish Mitchell up in ten
minutes. The xx-ords "light and
substantial " to Sullix'an's
, as applied Break
fast and dinner , aio to be taken in u special
sense. His bicakfast consists of six or eight
mutton chops , xvlth buttered toast and tea
"Atdinner , " Holsko sajs , "John disposes ol
a leg of rmrtton'or txx'o chickens. "
"Theioaie nooe of us xctj' sloxv at cat-
ing , " lemaikcd Jack Ashton , gatheung in
the cards. "I don't believe there's n man in
the place xxho can't get axvaj' xvith a pound
of beefsteak at the loxxcst. Why the other
night I gax-o 'Cap' thcro u piece of steak as
thick as this pack of cards and as big as thu
toi ( of that stove and he nex-cr winked. "
The captain modestly icplied that his gas-
tronomicul capacity only fuhitly indicated
that of John L.
"Does Sulllx'an use a sandbag xcrjmuch ! "
ho xx as asked.
"No " Holske "ho xvith
, replied , practices a
r ubber bull instcud. You see , the ball gives
the speed of the stroke and that's all John
needs. Ho's solid enough on force , ain't he
Jack I"
"You bet jour life ho is , " replied thut
gentleman xxith an accent xxhich carried con
viction. :
"If he hits Mitchell once , only once , mind ,
he'll knock his head off. "
The game continued , but the plnj'crs'
thoughts and conversation xx ere nex-er long
axxay from the grout John.
Presently he airlxed in person in fine gloxv
after nine miles ox-er the hills. He seems to
be in magnificent condition.
"Oh , jes , " replied Sullivan , "I'm feeling
first rate , a little lame and sore , of couise ,
Just a start , but that xxill soon xx-eur off. Wo
came doxxn hero to Windsor to bo quiet , and
I am refusing all invitations to dinners and
am not smoking or drinking , and I am doing
rny best to get in good shape. I shall
fight at about UK ) jKJunds , Jem Mace came
doxxn to see us lust Sunday nnd xx'e nil xxent
off for a horseback ride. I think I could
learn to lido a horse , but Just noxv I am not
a champion at it , am I bojsj"
"You did better than Ashton nnd Barnct ,
] ust the same , John , " said Holsko. "You
knoxv they started out the other day to fol
low the hounds. The hounds crossed aditch ,
but Harnctt and Jack didn't. Thcj- stood
right in the middle of it nnd came homo xvith
mud nnd xvatcr. "
"What do jou think of the Smith-Kllrain
fight , Mr. Sulllx-ani"
"Well , I w on't say tl at it xvas nil a put up
Job , but I'm certain thut Charley Mitchell
did not look out for the interests of his man ,
Kllrain. Ho xx'anted the flght to bo a draxv
orlmx'o Smith xxln. Noxv ho proposes this
spring to make a tour all ox cr the United
States , giving exhibitions xxith Kilrnin , but
he xvon't do It. I'll get back tl.cro right on
their heels and I'll drive them out of the
country. I'll Jump upon their old stage and
challenge both of them at once , that's \xhat
I'll do. "
If Messrs Mitchell and Kilrain could baxc
see John L. as ho pronounced these words
tlicy-i\0"ld certainly cease thxx-urtlng him ,
It xx as like Niagara In a storm. At this point
tbc conversation became general. Dcnun-
clntlons and threaten hips folloxxlng rapldlj *
upon one another. Smith xx'irs ihurnctcilzed
as n truck-horse lighter big , sloxv and no
good. His backer , Fleming , xxas
also spoken of im > t unkindly , Sulltx-un
accusing him of dyeing his hair , paintIng -
Ing his face nnd being generally
unxxorthy , but the major part of John's Ire
xx as reserx'cd for Mitchell , xxho xxill haxo
much to nnsxvcr for xxhen he stands at last
before the Hoston boj' .
Sullivan thinks prize fighting xxith baie
knuckles destined sooirto become a lost art.
He does not like the idea of gaining anjf
international reputation at the cost of ex
perience in prison.
Ueferi Ing to the Prince of Wales , he said :
"The nexxspapcrs hnxo made a honible mess
of that affair. The prince is a verj'
good felloxv , and I chinned xxith
him for u xxhlle. Just nslxxouhl xxith any
body else. You sco , nil these dukes and
lords and so on are tnlghtllj * astonished to
sec xx hut thcj' call n brutal pi ire fighter as
xx-ell dressed and as Intelligent as themsclx-cs.
John thinks England Is about a hunched
jcuis behind the times In pri/o lighting , us in
exeij tiling else , nnd before ho returns homo
he pioposes to teach them n thing or txxo.

A great sensation was made jesterday in
Prns by the rumor thut Tour Eiffel was
threatened with collapse. Sonic said it was
slipping , othcis that it wus settling. Dau-
tiesnip , u minister , wildly telegraphed to the
Champ do Murs. I thought best
to sco M. Eiffel. I .was ushered
into his study on the llrst lloor
of a dimming hotel In the Hue do Provy , a
luxuiious room , n well stored book cuso run
ning lound it , while at ono end , facing the
door , was a desk covered with papei s. Seated
at the desk was a pale , resolute , middle aged
gentleman , of middle height , carefully
dressed , with a ribbon of the Legion of Honor
In his buttonhole.
"M. Eiffel , I Bupposol"
Yes , it was M. Eiffol. the man who had de
fied the heavens ; the inventor of the giunt
tower. He looked as if he meant to finish it ,
too.
"You have no doubt heard what people are
saying of jour tower I" said the visitor.
"What are they saying ! " quietly answered
the engineer. " 1 hax e not time to read many
papers. "
"That there is something wrong ; that it is
tottering , slipping , falling in. "
"I know there was some wild story about
it In the chamber of deputies jesterday , but
1 have made inquiries ol my foreman In the
Chump do Mint and can assuio jou that
thcie Is not an Item of tuith In it. "
"Yet e\en M. Danticsine wus alarmed. "
