BUFFALO. N. Y. , March 7. Charley
Mitchell , tno English pugilist , was soon by
an Associated press reporter today , and bo
gave the following ofllcolal and definite ulti
matum to Sullivan :
"I reply to Sullivan's charge , I deny that I
am challenging him for the snko of getting
notorotp. Ho Hatter's himself. I don't require
it. I have boon before the American public
for eleven years. Ho calls mo 'that man
Mitchell' nnd sayi I don't want to light. Not
to copy him , I say that Old Woman Sullivan
has to do is to put his name to the articles
that tbo Olympic olub forwards him. The
plensuro it would g' ' rhim to thrash me , ac
cording to bis own accounts , ought to bo
satisfaction enough , outsldo of the financial
benefits derived thereby. It scorns Incredl-
, Wo that a purse of $ > , OUO is not enough
i to satisfy this man , who tried to gull
the Americans by saying that I am
such an easy mark for him. It is he himself
wno requires free advertising for , from all
accounts , a rotten show. I want this to bo
final , for I require no newspaper talk. To
proyo that I am no bluffer , I hers state that
1 will fight for the purse offered by tbo
Olympic Athletic club and will conform to
their rules. I will put up $3,500 deposit that
1 will forfeit to the club if I do not appear on
the night they llx for the contest. I
will also bet $2,500 moro that I am
procliimed victor. I uo not want
any ono to fix up challenges and then boat
aoout tbo bush whan a straightforward
- reply comes. I believe that what 1 have
herein stated will meet vlth the aprrovul of
fair minded and sport-loving public of
America. I will concede to Sullivan his
choice of rules. Yours truly ,
"ClIAHUJS MlTC'IIELU"
/vjltcholl / frequently emphasized his re
marks by doclarln ? that Sullivan was afraid
to meet him. "I hope that this official
challenge will briig : him to tormos , " ho con

Some of the leaders of the American colony

prominent American said : "Mr. Horn's ' ub-
sonco will bo greatly felt by all Americans.
Not conllnlng himself to' diplomatic ; duties ,
which ho so ably performed , ho was socially
most popular und bus been liked by those-
who hold political views dlfloront from his.
As Thavo never heard In French circles any

can bo said that he has been fully appreciated
bv those among whom bo 1ms boon'placod by
his ofllcial position. "
' General Morideth' Head , ex-minister to
Greece said : " 1 have known him personally
for thirty-llvo years. No United Status
minister over hero fulfilled his duties more
successfully. Ho came hero three years ago
with no diplomatic cnrierlonce. The success
of tils mission Is sufficient proof of his capa
bility and adaptlblllty. Ho Is universally
liked by people of all shades of political opin
ion and of every nationality. "
Mr. Harges , the banker , said : "Slnco the
time of General DIx in 18(50 ( , wheu I first
came to Pans , no American minister has
boon so popular as Mr. Kola. His treatment
of all with whom ho bos como in contact nas
boon uniformly kind/ his manner never

democrats cannot nut esteem him. Tha way
his duties have buon performed call for ap
probation from every body. "
Banker William Sollgman said : "Mr.
Reid is a remarkably able man and worthy
of any position to which ho may aspire. 'I
have nothing to expect from him , so my
opinion cannot bo considered biased. His
knowledge of the FroncU language and char
acter has enabled him to prove himself the

"I think that the city authorities might
rend a moral by a walk down N street
today , " said a business man yesterday. "A
greater contrast could h rJly bo imagined
than that which exists between the summer
Sunday In South Omaha and the same day In
winter. In warm weather It Is almost an
Impossibility for a lady to walk down N or
Twenty-fourth slrooU. The sidewalks are
lined with a miscellaneous congregation ot
loafers who loiter in front of the saloons be
tween drinks auu stare at every woman who
passes. Insulting remarks nro inado , not
loud enough to constitute n broach ot the
peace , but lust loud enough to ba heard by
thobo who nro passing. In winter wo nro al
most entirely free from this nuisance , which
results from the weoklv visits of the fra
ternity of bummers from Omaha and Council
Bluffs.
"Homo measures should bo taken this
bprinc to urovont the respectable people of
the city from being nnnoyod this ummor as
they havu boon in the past. It Is uonsonso
for the i city authorities to sav that
it cannot bo helped. Tncro is nn reason why
a crowd of loafers from other towns should
bo allowed to take possession of our principal

Interviewed John L. Sullivan on Mitchell's
answer to his challenge and the big follow
said :
"I hnvo road Mr , Mitchell's reply to my
challenge and can only say It U on a par with
his entire attltudo towards mo. His asser
tion that hu stood mo off twlco and extracted
n forfeit on both occasions from mo Is untrue
as iho records of the contest can prove.
These men have hounded mo over slnco Mr.

They camn tiara full of blow nnd bombast ,
professing to hnvo plenty of money to back
cither or both to light mo , knowing my hands
wore tied , but on being callud by Charles
.lohnson of Brooklyn , who deposited $ , ' ,500
with the Now York Herald , they were found
wanting. That deposit remained up for
nearly a year. They never covered It , They
hammered away at mo with all sorts of chal
lenges ana blufts for two years and now that
I have the opportunity and tlmo to light
thoio men or any others who have boon bluff-
lug they weaken at my cuallengo mid offer
all sorts of paltry mid unmanly excuses.
Will Waive OoiHlilernllotM ,
"Mitchell's assertions In his reply are silly
nnd contemptible. Ho claims that I want
everything. 1 don't. I am sincere. My
challenge is issued , but I will make any con
cessions In reason to moot this man Mitchell
or Slavin or any other lighter. Any reput
able , honest stakeholder will suit mo. The
only things I Insist upon nro that the match
tnke place between the middle- August nud
the llrst week of September , the outsldo
bet and Marquis of Queensboiry rules
to govarn. I am Justillcd in tbli for these
reasons : My season ends Juno4 with Mr.
Harrison and wo resume September 12. Our
contracts are made. I must have an outside
bet of proper dimensions to justify mo in
preparing for a contact , as I do not propose
to have thorn sneak out of It when It comes
to the Issue. The Marquis of Quoonsberry
rules I regard as the only fair rules , as under
their government a man must light , not run
away.
"If Mitchell , Hlavlu , Corbott or the rest
moan business lot them act , and not talk and
cry about my weight. That Is n disadvantage
rather than un advantage and simply stamps
Mitchell's assertion as ridluu'ous ' and laugh
able , which anyone who knows anything
about lighting will concede.
"My ultimatum is made. My challonpo ,
whlcn is entirely my own. Is out. If those
men mean business they know where to tlnd
mo. If not , they had better cross the pond
homo and seek English pence , not American
dollars. "
IIiirrlHon Denies the Imnonoltmcnt.
Duncan 13. Harrison , who was referred to
by Mitchell In his last night's interview as
the author of this challenge- the champion
of the world , said : "I have road Mr.
Charles Mitchell's reply to Mr. Sullivan's
challenge in the newspapers. In whloh ho
stated that It Is evident tbo challenge eman
ates from mo. Thatls a manufactured story
out of whole cloth , and , In my conviction , is
simply un effort on the part -Mitchell to
evade the issue. Mr. Sullivan himself was
the author of the challenge- . This can bo
proven bovond peradventure of doubt. "
Mr. Harrison , after speaking of Slavin's
nvowod willingness to fight said : "It Is
rather peculiar thatblavin , upon Sullivan's
arrival in San Francisco from Australia ,
made a match with JacKson , a man whom ho
professed to ignore , thus placing un obstacle
in the way of his meeting Sullivan.
"To sumtnariro the whole matter , Sullivan
has called their , bluff and they know it
thoroughly and they are offering all sorts of
excuses to avoid the Isjuo. Sullivan is
willing to make any reasonable concessions
to moot either or botti of those men , or any
other of the lighters who will cover the bet.
lie Insists upon three things Marquis of

sible , and the outside bet , foras ho expressed
It , ho Is out for lighting , not for racing. "

of Tun Br.r. : Iquotoa * follows from an ar
ticle In your Issue of March ! l , headed "A
Fraud Exposed" ( Washington special , Feb
runry v.4) ) , In which I nm taken to task for
having employed onn William A. Coflluld , an
ox-robcl soldier , during my term ns agent at
Pine Uldgo ngency : "It npnonn that Cofllnld
wns appointed farmer at Pine Ridge In Janu
ary , lsi.1 , upon the recommendation of Agout
McUlllycudily , who will now have an oppor
tunity to explain his action , "
Presuming from this public notlco that it
will be allowable to encroach on your space ,
nnd Iu ns brlof n manner as possible , will on-
d.eavor to obtain absolution for this crime
committed in by-gono years : When In 1870
I nssumud char 1:0 of Pine Uldgo aeohoy
north wostcin Nebraska nnd southwestern
Dakota wns nu unorganised region , devoid
of soldiers or towns , nud ward caucuses and
political conventions were a thing ot tha ro- >
inoto future , nnd mv employes were selected
for their nerve , courngo nnd experience iu
dealing with the Indians nnd whlto border
rufllans , auil not from their past or pros
pective services ns political strikers. Iu
tact , Pine Kidgo wns not managed as a po
litical agency or machine , with the exception
thatusnccnt I ns appointed ns n repub
lican , had nlwnyn been one , ar.u trust that I
will average piattv well ns such today.
In IbSU Mr. Coflleld , recently disuhargnd
as a soldlor from the regular nrmy at Fort
Uoblnson , Nob. , for disability , applied to mo
lor a position. Ho wns honorably discharged
with a good record for courage aud ability.
Ho was given the position of telegraph
operator and assistant chief of police. From
that time until my dismissal from the Indian
service by the democracy for "Insubordina
tion" In It&O , Mr. Coftlold ronaorctt long nnd
faithful service on the reservation In many
capacities and , to his credit , I never found
him lacking In courngo or tact when placed
in the most trying position.
Ho was largely Instrumental in bringing
the Pine Hidgo Indian police to their ac
knowledged high state of discipline nnd
efficiency in those years bv his ability ns n
drlllmastor , and his leadership in dangerous
performance of their duty. He was ono of
the bravo nnd faithful employes xvbo stood
by mo In August , ISbJ , when the surround
ing country was Iu a panic by reason of n
threatened outbreak ou the part of Red
Cloud , when the troops in western Nebraska
nnd Dakota were hold In readiness to move

the courngo of a few whlto omplojos ami
residents , and the faithful Indian pollco , re
sulted In tno arrest of Uod Cloud wlthouttho
Intervention or presence of the military.
Mr. Colllcld wus glvon employment as nn
ox-soldier of the regular nrmv and not ns nn
ox-rcbol , nnd it Is to bis credit that ho stood
by his convictions when ho lived in the
south , and fought ns a soldier Iu the rebel
armv , and is moro entitled to respect than
the slculking copperhead of the north who in
manv Instances has become a gnlvnnizcd re
publican.
It was bad taste to hnvo referred to his
service as n robot In suoltlntr appointment.

romarknblo on tbo wbolo considering tha
fact that tbo then secretary of the Interior ,
L. Q. C. Lumur , wus un ex-rebel and the
heads of the Indian bureau of that depart
ment , Commissioner Atkins and Assistant
Commssloncr Uphara wore appointed KS ox
colonel mid adjutant respectively of a rebel
regiment.
Mr. Coflluld nud the old omnloycs of Pine
Kidgn for 1ST ! ) to Ibbii ncod have no fear but.
that the record of tha management of tha
agency during that tlmo will always compare
lavorablv for ofllcicnry , honosiy und piogrcss
In tno ndvnnccmont of the Indian , with any
past , present or futuio ono.
If In the HJtiimn of IblKJ , on the inception
of the so-called Sioux 'outbreak , " there had
been fewer political strikers nt Pine Hidgii ,

would not hnvo been such a display of abject
