but gave them to understand Immediately
tljat ho would not hear ot any proposition
of peace not tending to the Independence of

vr elder them as visitors to the camp.

which has the exact color of high grf do Java

U is said to no leas arid and bitter than the
lower grades of cofTco , but has much the mellow -

cr Thcro la no authentic Information to hand
regarding the rebellion In the Philippines ,
with the exception ot a telegram on Febru
nry 14 , that the governor had left Manilla
to personally conduct operations against the
rebels at Cavite. Manilla papers still con
tlnuo to publish reports ot the so-called
successes of the Spanish troops , but the
numbers ot killed and wounded on the rebel
sldo as recorded In the Spanish press since
the beginning of the outbreak art > olther
grossly exaggerated or the original strength
of the rebels Is far greater than the Spanish
authorities are willing to admit. Sugar grow
ing districts are not seriously , affected by
the rebellion and the hemp district not at
all.
Director Cheng has now obtained coutrol
over all the Chinese railways at present In
existence- and those about to bo construpled
In the northern half ot China.
The reason given by E. A. Satourer
majesty's minister at Toklo , for Mrs. Carcw's
reprieve Is that as the Japanese emperor
was granting remission of sentence to native
criminals on the occasion of the death of
the empress dowager U was fitting that
Mrs. Carow should bo reprieved and her
sentence commuted to ono of penal servitude
for life. It Is rumored that Mrs. Carow wrote
to the minister , asking that the law take
lt course , as she preferred death to Im
prisonment for life.
General alarm has been caused among the
rural population in the neighborhood of

CARSON CITY , Nov. , March 11. For A
tlmo today it looked as though there would
bo a regular row between the camps ot the
fighters , regarding the Interpretation of the
rules ot the ring made by Referee Slier
yesterday. Dan Stuart , however , took matters -
tors In hla own 'hands and In a short tlmo
ho had managed to patch up a peace and
avert the threatened storm. The main obstacle
staclo In the way ot pulling oft the fight
without n squabble was Fltzstmmons , who
declared that ho did not llko the reading
ot the rules made by Slier and that ho did
not propose to Agree upon anything until
ho and Corbett were In the ring. Stuart
at ones ordered a carriage and drove out
to Fltzslmmona' ranch , and had al talk with
the lanky fighter.
"Tho only thing for you to do ,
said Stuart , "Is to como to Borne agreement
on this thing , and the sooner you do it , the
better it will be for all concerned. What
wo 'want , and all that Slier wants , is for
you and Corbott to agree on something that
will suit you both and something that will
bo fair to you both. I suggest that one of
your men and ono of Corbett's men meet
at my office tomorrow afternoon and we can
talk the matter over and see It some agree
ment cannot bo reached. "
"That suits mo , " replied Fltz. "I want
nothing but what IB fair to both and If I
have a man present when the agreement
Is made that Is all I can ask. "
He wanted to know how Corbett viewed
the proposition for a conference , and when
told that It was agreeabla to the champion ,
he again expressed .his . satisfaction.
"I don't know , though , Dan , " ho said ,
"as though I will bo ready to enter the ring
on the day agreed upon. "
Stuart Is pale from his recent Illness , but
he turned about three shades paler when
be heard Fritz declare himself to this
effect.
"Why can't you ? What on earth Isi the
matter with you ? " Stuart asked , anxiously.
"Well , you see , " said Bob , "I have hurt
one of mybands , and I do not think that
I can possibly get Into shape to fight on the
17th. "
Stuart's face fell several degrees , and Bob ,
nectng his distress , danced around the room
like a schoolboy.
ONLY A JOKE.
"Ono must have some fun out of this
country , " said Bob. "I was only fooling ,
Dan , and my hands and all the rest of nio
are In the best sort of condition , and nobody
will find that out better than Corbett when
I SOQ him oul the 17th of March. "
Stuart left Fitz with the positive assur
ance that Fltz will be represented at the
conference In his office tomorrow , and he
set the hour at 3 o'clock. Tha consent of
the Corbett people was obtained without
any trouble.
Fitz took It rather easy today , the prin
cipal part of his work being a ten-mile run
on the road in the morning. In the after
noon he sparred ten rounds with Hlckey
and Stelzencr , and wrestled a little with
Roober and wound up his work by punching
the bag.
"I am not making any objections to the
rules , as a whole , " said Fltzslmmons. "All
I want Is to keep the other fellows from
getting any advantage over me. I want an
even show and nothing moro than that. I
know that I can lick Corbott , and I will
do it , If they do neb work any flno schemes
on me. f
"I am not going to say anything at pres
ent , " eaid Corbett. "But the conference will
settle things. I understand that Fltz Is
kicking on the rules , just as I said ho would.
I don't want to say anything until I know
just what he objects to In particular. Ho
may object to something that I consider
very essential and again things with which
he finds fault may bo trifling , and In that
event , I do not wish to oppose any objec
tions , no matter if they are morq , favorable
to PJtz than to mo. All I care about is
to keep Fltz from getting any undue ad
vantage. I want nothing myself that I am
not willing to concede to him , and there
rs no use of my telling Slier that I agree
to this thing or object to that thing until I
know what Fltz Is making a kick about.
If Fitz makes no complaint of Sller's con
struction ot the- rules I will not , but It
would be bad policy for me , at the present
time , to agree to anything1 or abject to any
thing until I know where the sore spot Is
with Fltz. If ho is of the same opinion that
am on things there will bo very little
trouble , but Fritz Is a chronic kicker. "
SILER IN BAD HUMOR.
Referee Slier was not In the best humor
today over the objections to his construction
ol the Marquis of Queensberry rules that had
come from Fltz's camp.
"When I was In Chicago , " Slier said ,
"Fltz told mo ho had no objection to the
construction of the rules that I have made ,
and that being the case , I cannot see how
he can very well object to them at the pres
ent tlmo. However , I did not rule ad I did
for the purpose of considering what Fltz
would llko or what Corbett would like , or
what anybody else would like. I ruled ex
actly as I thought was right and I will
stick to my ruling. At the same time , \
wish It understood that I am not in the least i
trying to dictate to the men. All I want
Is an agreement of aomo sort , and as long
as the men are suited , I don't care what r '
that agreement Is. I guess by the time the
fight Is duo both men will reach an agree
ment without trouble. "
Slier received a number of telegrams from
prominent sporting men all over the coun N
try commending the construction ot the
rules ho had made. Ono of them from Billy
Madden in NewTork was s follows :
"Your construction of the rules Is the
same as that of Angell ; stick to It. "
Angell Is the well known referee of London .
and the acknowledged authority on all rlnt ; ,
events.
Corbett's work today .consisted ot the
regular run on the roads , the champion coverIng - .
Ing about ten miles , with Jeffreys for a
companion. In the afternoon ho punched the
bag and sparred with his trainers.
The report sent out from this place last 2
night to the effect that Corbett and Fltz
slmmons had mot while out walking and had r.
wordy quarrel Is a deliberate falsehood. r. '
They passed the penlto'itlary southwest of '
the town within ten minutes of each other ,
but they did not meet. Corbott did not see r.
Fitzslminons , nor did Fltzslmmons see Cor r.

the imany frequenters of these resorts In this
city are jubilant over the decision of the
supreme court at Jefferson City , declaring
that the pool room law of 1891 Is uncon
stitutional. The case was that of the state
of Missouri against C. B. Thomas , which
was appealed from the St. Louis court of
criminal correction. This decision leaves no
law In force to prevent bookmaklng and

The defense was that a by-law of the supreme

the Insurance , but the plaintiff proved that
the by-law was not imado by the supreme

then ratified by the supreme lodge. Judge

FLEETS OF GREECE AXD TURKEY.
They Are Mostly of Small Account ,
lint I'ONMCN * Sonic Good ShliiN.
A recent number of the Poll Moll Gazette
contains a description of the war ships of
Greece and Turkey , as well as of the Mediter
ranean fleets of other powers.
The fleets of Greece has flvo armorclads.
Two , the Basilicas Georglos and Baslllssa
Olga , date back to 18G7 and 1869 , and are of
1,744 and 2,030 tons , with seven and six
Inches of armor respectively and of twelve
nnd ten knots. The former carries two 8.2
Inch and eight smaller pieces. But much
larger and better are three sister ships , the
Hydra , Psara and Speisal of 4,885 tons ,
dating back only to 1889-80 , with thirteen
and one-half Inches of armor , of seventeen
knots , and carrying the fine battery of three
10,6-Inch , flvo C-lnch and twenty smaller
guns.
Of the unarmored ships the chief ono Is
the Mlanlls of 1,800 tons , about as heavy as
our Yorktown , of fifteen knots and , carrying
four 0-inch and six smaller guns. There
are also available the Sfaktlrea , a steel
transport carrying four guns ; the Kanarto ,
a torpedo depot ship , thrco mining vessels ,
three training ships and twelve old gun
boats , ono of which , the Alphlos , mounting
two guns. Is known to bo on the Cretan
coast. The torpedo boats nominally number
over fifty , but the chief ones for service are
elx built at Stettin In 1885 , of nineteen knots
and carrying four onc-poundcrs and six
earlier Yarrow boats.
Of Turkey's fleet , more Imposing on paper ,
this account : Is given :
The Turkish fleet , though moro Imposing
In appearance , Is not much superior In fact.
It Is doubtful whether any of the once splen
did squadron of Ironclads Is now in n stnto
to go to sea. The engines are dilapidated ,
the boilers worn out , and there are no trained
officers nnd rprn , Nominally there are four
teen Ironclads available ; with few exceptions
thcao are of the central battery typo , plated
with armor six Inches to twelve Inches thick ,
and armed for the most part with old
Krupps and Armstrong muzzle loaders. Ono
battleship Is on the stocks , where she is likely
to remain till the early years of the next
century , or tbo advent of tlio Russians ; four
moro are in the most leisurely way being
altered and brought up to dato. If the
Turks can find crows , such ships as the
Mesoodleh might prove awkward nuts for
the Greeks to crack. The Mosoodlch Is ot
9,000 tons , onca upon a time steamed twelve
knots , carries 12-Inch and 9-lnch plating , and
lo armed with twelve 10-Inch and three C-lnch
guns. But no fleet Is of any value which
does not occasionally go to sen , and the en
gines of the Turkish Ironclads are only
turned now and then In harbor. The Turk
ish cruisers are about on a par with the
Turkish battleships , a collection of
antiquated , slow , and for the meat part
wooden , ships. There are throe Jorpedo
gunboats , the Nlmot. Polengl-derla and Shah ;
In-doria , carrying 4-Inch and C-pounder guns ,
and steaming ( on paper ) 19 to 22 knots. The
torpedo flotilla Is better than that of the
Greeks , as It Includes two fairly .now de
stroyers , steaming 25 and 23 knots ; six largo
torpedo boats of 23 and 22 knots , built In
Germany in 1889 and 1890 ; and nine largo
21-knot boats , besides ten of small size.
Thesp boats , being newer and faster than the
Greek craft , ore necessarily better.
Of course , these rival fleets will not bo
suffered to contend with each other. Any
war in which they took part would bo likely
to Involve ono or moro fleets ot far greater
consequence
Sl'ARROAVS RESCUE A SPAIIROW.
The One Xeert of Help Cnnic Into IIU
I'llKht Through Greeil.
The English sparrow Is perhaps thu
shrewdest bird going , and rarely ever gets
caught In a scrape , says a writer In the
Philadelphia Times. I saw ono literally In
a tight place , though the other day , and but
for the shrewdness of his friends would
doubtless bo there now , or worse. A careless -
less colored cook of the house adjoining
mine had spilled some raw rice , perhaps a
quart or more. In the back of my neigh
bor's premises. In order to hldo her care
lessness from her mistress , and so save
herself the trouble of picking up tlio rice ,
the resourceful cook simply turned on
empty box over the llttlo pile , thus putting
It out ot sight , and went her way re
joicing.
Presently a bevy of sparrows chanced that
way and took possession of my neighbor's
back yard. l ro long an adventurous one of
the number discovered a convenient knot
hole In the overturned box , poked his In-
qulsltlvo llttlo head therein and forthwith
spread the news of the rice Mini. Then
things were pretty lively thereabouts. First
ono , and then another of the birds would
pop down through tbo hole , to bob up a
few moments later with his crop full of
rice. They were all mighty gay over the
matter , and meet of them made two or
three trips Inside before they were satis-
fled.
fled.By
By and by something seemed to bavo
gene wrong. The hlrda fluttered and chlrpod
and chattered In an agitated manner , crowdIng -
Ing upon and about the box so thickly that
It was some tlmo before I could see that ono
llttlo brown head kept bobbing up franti
cally through tlio knot hole from tbo under
sldo and getting no further. Some greedy
llttlo fellow had laid In an oversupply , and
so made himself too big for an exit through
the hole.
Tlio case really seemed a pitiful ono , as
nothing < but tlmo and the slow proccra of
nature could relieve the poor prisoner of hl.i
predicament. At leant that Is what I
thought , and I marveled that so clover a
creature as a uparrow should got himself
Into a holo. Meantime I had forgotten to
reckon upon the Ingenuity of the birds on
thu ouUlilo of the hole. They lost no tlmu
in bringing this qualification In evidence ,
liowuver , for pretty teen I discovered that
they had s t to work to dig the llttlo prlc-
onnr out. Having Holectod the moot vul
nerable spot of the surrounding ground , first
ono and then another of the birds would
stratch and pc-ck away , each ono taking hla
turn , and working energetically till by and
by a hole was made big enough for even the
overloaded fellow on the Inside to creep
through.
