HOT Srmxos , a. D. , July n. [ Special Tolo-
ram to THK BBR. ] Thcro was trouble Inlet
lot Springs tonight. In fact a whole cargo
f trouble for several parties Interested. For
ays there have been rumors current on the
treots nnd In places whore the fancy most
o congregate that n prize fight between
D.inny Daly nnd nn unknown hod been
Tanged , growing out of a bar room
iffcrenco , ns prim lights usually
iavo their genesis. But the appearance
f tickets in the snloons reading "Flftccn-
lound Sot-to Betweeh Danny Daley and the
Colorado Kid , Monday , July 3 , " settled all
peculation In regard to the matter and the
lavllllon whcro the sot-to took pluco was
rowdod with the sporty clement of Hot
springs tonight.
Preliminary to the event of the evening
wo gcntlnmcn of color entertained the
assemblage of cattle , punchers , track layers
ind gcntlomcn from the Hotel Kvnns
uid Glllcsplu with an amusing exhibition of
l > u.-lor gymnastics with gloves. Later Gal-
aghor , who has been Danny Daly's partner
'or years , appeared tn n friendly bout with
Tom Allen , n young scion ot n lighting race ,
n hobnail shoes and a confidence that is only
con In a roper of cattle und bronchos.
But the cleanest fight of the season was
iireclpltatod when Danny Daly and Wil-
hm Curry , who really ought to have been
ailed the Arlzouh Kid , pu ; up their mauleys
fora llftccn-roumVgo.
Hound 1 was purely for wind , without a
Jilow being struck by either party. In round
2 Curry began the rushing , to the delight of
both Daly nnd Gallagher , who was in
Daly's corner.
Itound ! 1 developed strong ability In
Daly to avoid punishment , nnd still do hard
hitting , a clover right arm lunge from
D.inny drawing a stream of ruby from
Currv'sillp ' and the weight of the blow maK-
'ng tno Arizona lad decidedly groggy.
Hound sottleu the trouble. Peace reigns
tonight'lti'this summer resort. After close
hillghtlng for a minute Danny got In
a right arm biff which caught the Arizona
Kid on the point of the Jaw and ho went
down on the hard lloor , while the rofcfreo
not only counted ten , but twlco that number ,
making the cleanest knock out slnco Hall
went down before the terrible swing of Fitz-
fclmmons.

" Nr.w YOHK , July 3. The announcement
that Champion James J. Corbott nnd
Charley Mitchell of England had signed
articles of agreement to light before the
Columbian Athlottc club of Koby , Ind , , for a ;
purse of $45,000 created consternation
among the local followers of the roped
nrena. The uows made the directors of tha
Coney Island Athletic club particularly
bitter In their denunciation of Corbott , who ,
they claimed.had "thrown them down. "
Dick Newton , the match-maker of the
club by the sea , said that ho was astonished
at Corbott's action. "Why , " ho continued ,
"I thought Corbott's word could bo rolled
upon. Ho has acted shamefully In this 'mat '
ter. April 21 , lcst , in the reading room of
the St. James hotel , ho signed the following
agreement In the presence ot several wit
nesses : 'I hereby agrco to box Charles
All tch oil before the Coney Island Athlotio
club , according to articles of agreement now
existing between Mitchell and myself , the
man declared the winner to receive the sum
of 510,000. Proper articles to bo signed nt a
later date. '
"That agreement , " continued Newton ,
"wan drawn'by Corbott's manager , William
A , nrauly. and Corbett could not sign It
quick enough. "
To say that the Coney Island people are
sere Is expressing it mildly.

WASHINGTON , July a. Speaker Crisp ar
rived hero this morning on an early train
and wont at once to tits old quarters at the
Metropolitan hotol. Hti arrival was not
generally known among the politicians and
ho was permitted to Imvo n.quiet rest after
the fatigue of the Journey from the south.
Contorted with tlio .Secretary.
Mr. Crisp had not been hero long , however ,
before ho went to the treasury , where , by
previous appointment , ho had a cbnforenco
with the secretary that lasted upwards of
nn hour. Tins conference was the result of
a telegram that reached Mr.Crlspand hurried
him to this city before Secretary Carlisle's
departure from Washington for his intended
trip to Chicago. The speaker declined to
say what was the subject matter of this con
ference , but the Inference is drawn that it
pertains to contemplated legislation In line
with the known policy of the president. The
probability of the repeal of the Shermah law
was discussed , and It may bo that some con
clusion was reached as to how legislation
should bo commenced when congress moots.
After the conference the speaker returned
to his hotol. where ho will remain quietly
until a late train leaves the city tonight or
early tomorrow morning , when ho will go to
Now York to make a speech before the Tam
many braves.
"My visit to Washington at this tlmo , "
said Mr. Crisp , "was not the outcome of the
call for the early .session of congress , for , as
a matter of fact , I did not know of it until
after I had loft homo , and only heard of It
after I was on the train aud coming this
way. Ibollovotho action of the president
to bo exceedingly \vlsc and think all factions
can nereo upon that , for the reason that
however members of congress may disagree
upon the question of policy In the financial
legislation , it is better that the contest
should end , come it must , as soon as possi
ble , and the earlier It Is disposed of the
bettor for all parties.
On the Shormnn Act.
"Whether the Sherman purchasing not
will be repealed Is a question I am unable to
answer. My own position upon the question
needs no discussion now , for I believe It Is
understood. I have not talked with mem
bers on the subject , and have not seen them
quoted to any extent , certainly not enough
to cnablb tno to form nn intelligent opinion.
The subject has been fully" discussed in the
press , and it looksas'lf thcro was an abund
ance of expression Iiufavor of repeal. Speak-
ine , however , from my personal knowledge
of the situation , I am-unablo to predict the
outcome. I could speak with ' moro posltlvo-
uess had I been wheffllc'ould havoconversod
'
with members. The 'ejrly call for the
session will have a good , pffect , for it will
put the members to thinking and cause them
to discuss the subject wUh , their constitu
ents , nnd thereby como"horo prepared to do
something , and do it . , without unnecessary
delay. I think it is. safe to say that all
democrats will stand on the platform of tha
party and they will amlto in congress In
carrying out such legislation as will bar.
monizo with the expressed sentiments of the
party as found in that platform. "
Mr. Crisp's Hopes.
While Judge Crls"p avoided the express
declaration-of his belief in the repeal of the
Sherman law , his cohlUI6nco that sucK'wll ]
bo the result o the mcetiug.of congress wa :
apparent. . Ho evidently hopes that the
wishes of the administration will bo carried
out in this respect , and Mr. Crisp also intl
muted that thcro would probably bo a change
in the rules of the house that would permit
the majority to shoulder the responsibility
of such action as nileht bo determined upon ,
' I had the general idea when I loft hero ,
as did other members also , " continued Mr ,
Crisp , "that there ought to bo some change
in the rules in order to enable us to more
speedily come to a yoto upon any proposl
tlon upon which a vote was desired. It i ;
hard to toll what form such change wll
take , and that Is a matter of detail that car
only bo agreed uuon after congress meets
In the present rules there is a method b ;
which a vote can bo reached on a report o :
the committee on rules , and whether it ii
advisable to alter this is a question tha
must wait the action of congress. Whatovo :
is done , it is certain that there will bo m
curtailment of full nnd liberal debate. "
"Financial matters will ilrst come bofor
this congress for consideration , for that i :
the reason for the call for the extra session
nnd the president will , no doubt , enter inti
his reasons for , the call moro in detail whci
ho sends in his message than ho did in hi
proclamation , and by that message congrcs
will bo largely guided.
Turin Quoitloni.
"How lone the extraordinary session wll
last no ono. can toll , , for there are otlic
things members wiU'naturaUy bo desirous o
entering upon , notably , the tariff. Thor
will bo delay In getting to work upon thl
important subject and the committee 01
ways and means will begin the prelimlnar ,
work as soon as it gets hero. Kvun shouli
the extra session adjourn withou
action this committee would prob
ably go ahead with the worl
during the recess , so there may bo no delay
lay in prosecuting the labor of tariff reform
This Is ono of the questions upon , which th
party hod decided there shall bo pursued i
vigorous pollcy'and the early fulfillment ; o
that policy may bo expected. "
Mr. Crisp , in the further course of his talli
expressed himself in fuvor of- the repeal o
the 10 per cent tax on state banks and be
Hovcdthat this proposition would bo car
riod.
Concerning the organization of the com
mltteos of the house , the speaker doollnoi
to talk , saying ho had given the mutter m
consideration.
Later in the day a few members now litho
the city called on Mr. Crisp and assured bin
of their friendship and their support for thi
position ho had with such distinction occi
pled in the Fifty-second congress.

"Say , " said Colonel Pntor Sweeney of th <

are usually those who have boon ufUIctci
