WASHINGTON , March 12. The senate
committee on foreign relations lias been In
session today considering the arbitration
treaty. Two members of the committee
Gray and Mills , hove net been preasnt. The
question of amendments to the treaty con-
slimed most of the time , the contention belli ) ,
whether the treaty should bo amended as 1
was when reported In the last congress , or
whether the Turplo amendment , referring al
arbitration agreements back to the senate
for ratification , would cover all objections
raised to the treaty. It is probable that the
committee will have the treaty under con
sideration several daj .
The committee adjourned at 1 30 p. m
after a three hours' session , to moot , again
Monday. Chairman Davis would make no
announcement concerning the day's work
beyond saying no conclusion was reached
It Is the expectation of a majority of the
committee that they will bo abla to conclude
their work on the treaty at the Monday ses
sion and that they will bo able to report to
the senate at the first executive session after
that date. The retirement of Senator Cameron
oren reduced the opposition in the committee
to two members , Messrs. Morgan and Daniel
who today manifested Just as strong feeling
on the subject as they had formerly displayed
and while they did not Indicate an intention
to delay a report to the senate for any grea'
length of time , they made It quite clear Urn
they would continue their opposition when
the treaty had been taken up in the commit
tee. It was stated In the committee that the
present administration wao Just as anxious
as Its predecessor to secure the ratlflcatlor
oU the treaty and to secure it promptly. It
Is understood that the treaty will not be
reported without amendments , but the mem
bore of the committee refuse to divulge the
character of the amendments which will be
made.

Among the artists this season Is found a
largo part of the talent that have pleased in
former years many audiences from ocean to
ocean. From their long association an.l
Intimate knowledge of each other's capa

prises George and Ed Andrews , Jay Taj lor.
Jack Allison , G. Byron Browne , C. A.

The > ear 1897 , according to the calculations
of astronomers , will witness the arpearanco
of thrco comets. To a single comet super
stition votes a considerable Influence upon
mundane affairs ; three of them may bo able
to terminate tbo war In Cuba or settle the
trouble In Crete or arrange an arbitration
treaty or determine some other and equally
important matter. In the eyes of most per
sons , however , there Is little of moment In
their appearance beyond the fact Itself ,
The first of the comets was discovered by
the famous astronomer D'Arrest at Leipzig ,
Juno 27 , 1651. It will be duo In perihelion
during the approaching eprlng. According
to the figures of its discoverer and the ob
servations of later investigators , the comet
completes A revolution In six and one-half
yearsIt was observed In 1857 , 1870 , 1877
and 1890. In tbo last ot these years It passed
Its perihelion on September 1C. The exact
time of Its appearance this year it is im
possible to foretell.
The second comet was discovered In 18C9
by Templs , who , however , remained Ignorant
of the fact that It would appear periodically.
It Is generally known as Swift's comet , after
Prof. Swift , who rediscovered It In 1SSO and
detected I la periodicity. The period of this
comet la about five and one-half years. It
eocaped observation in 1875 and again in
1881 , but in 1891 the ar.ronomers had better
luck. Its perihelion pasgu then took place
In November , and calculations show that it
will appear this year in April or May.
The third 1 of moro recent discovery. Dr.
Spltaler , now of the Prague Imperial ob
servatory , found it in 1890. It was then but
'alntly ' ceen and bos not since be n visible.
The dUcomer found that It wae movies In
an elliptic orbit , with n pcrlo.1 of six and one-
half years , and o ? It was qMttovered on No
vember 17 It la due on Mw-eh-11 ot this year.
It Is likely , however , that This comet will
escape observation It w * nearest to the
earth last September , bull there Li no record
of Ha nppearanco at that tlmt' , and th re Is
little probability tilat It trill be discernible
when It p.moa Its perihelion !

CARSON , Ncv. , March 12. A long con
ference , which at times nearly resulted In
the spoiling of all chances ot the big fight
being pulled off , was held this morning be
tween Martin Julian , representing Fltzslm-
mons , and William A. Brady , for Corbctt ,
over the construction put upon the MarquU
of ( Juccnsbcrry rules and the end was that
Julian , after objecting strenuously to the
right of the referee maUng any ruling what
ever before the men entered the ring and
against the hitting with ono arm free and
In breakaway , gave way entirely and con
sented that the men should hit with the
one free arm and on the broakawavs. The
fight will , therefore , bo fought In accordance
with the Interpretation ot the Marquis of
Qucensbcrry rules made by Referee Slier. It
wad at times a stormy conference , and time
and again the smashup were perilously near ,
and tllne and again It was only averted by
the most narrow of margins.
Brady at the outset took the stand that
Corbctt was willing to abide by the decision
of the referee , uo matter what that decision
might be. The champion , he said , was willIng -
Ing to fight Just as Slier said.
Julian , on the other hand , maintained that
there was no right vested In the referee to
make any ruling whatever until the men
were all ready to fight. He claimed Fltzslm-
mons had nlnajs fought a "good , fair , square
fight" In all his fights , hitting with
both arms free , and that all the break
aways Rhould bo clean. Corbctt , be said ,
had won the championship of the world In
a fight conducted Under such conditions and
methods , whlc'ii , if they were good enough
to win the championship , were sufficiently
gooJ to defend It.
"ritzslmmons , I say frankly , " said Julian ,
"li not experienced in hitting with one arm
free lie 1'ns nlwavs made his battles fairly
aud he wants to fight this fairly. We can
not give In on this proposition and If Cor
bctt will not agree to fight with clean break
aways wo are willing to fight him under the
rules of the London prize ring. "
"That Is a good thing , " broke In Brady.
"You say Fltzslmmons Is not accustomed to
fighting In anything but the most open
fashion , and yet he Is willing to fight under
the London prize ring rules , which allow
wrestling , hitting with one arm free , biting ,
gouging and heaven knows what. If he Is
not willing to fight with one arm free , It Is
queer that ho should be willing to fight under
rules which allow that and a great deal of
the Eamo kind that Is worse. "
"Wo want it one thing or the other , " said
Julian ; "not a mt\up of Quecusbcrry and
London prize ring rules. "
The argument went on and on , each man
firmly Intrenched In his position , while Dan
Stuart eat listening , his hair turning gray
as ho saw all the chances oC the great fight
being pulled off likely to vanish lute thin
air tlmo and again as the argument pro
ceeded.
SILER TAKES A HAND.
Slier took part In the argument , and ho
and Julian went over the bamo ground that
Brady and Julian had traveled before. Over
and over It they went , always 1n a circle ,
and winding up at exactly the same point
every time Julian insisting that hitting with
the one free arm and In the breakaways
wan not strictly Marquis of Qucenberry
rules , and Slier insisting that It was the very
essence of the aforesaid rules.
Finally Julian said : "Well , I will make this
proposition. I am willing to leave It to Mr.
Stuart and abide by his decision. "
"I don't think I am capable of deciding
h technical T > t lnt"in prize ring1 rules , " said
Stuart , ' "and I hardly care to undertake to
make the decision. "
"Then f am willing to agree to leave the
matter with you and SlUr , " said Julian , "al
though Slier has already declared himself
on the question. "
This suited Brady and the Jury retired ,
returning shortly with the announcement
that they had decided to uphold the interpre
tation of the rules made by Slier. Julian
hesitated for a mlnuto and then gave way.
"I want to say , gentlemen , " ho said , "that
in all his fights , Mr. Fitzslmmous has always
given up everything , and he will do It non.
We will fight under the rules as Mr. Slier
construes them , even if wo don't like It. '
It was after 3 o'clock when the conference
opened. Three wao the hour set , hut Julian
was Fomotthat late In arriving. Stuart's
office was found too small to accommodate
the members of the conference and the cor
respondents , so an adjournment was taken to
Odd Fellows hail.
"I don't know why it should be expected , '
said Julian after the conference , "that Fltz
slmmons thould always give away everything
In all hla lights. I don't consider Slier a
ruling as according to the MarquU of Quecna-
bcrry rules , and I think as I told Brady , that
th-5 rules that were good enough to enable
Corbett to win the championship ought to be
good enough for him to defend It under
Wo want nothing but what Is fair to both
men , and although ho Is not good at that
style of fighting , and we know that Corbett
lj good at it , wo are willing to glvo Corbett
all ot that chance , and then ws will have
him licked Just the earne. Fitzsimmons may
not be as good as Corbett at Just that par
ticular thing , but I guess he Is enough better
In other wajs to more than offset the ad
vantage Corbett will have In this respect.
Fitzslmmons will win sure enough , no matter
what the style of fighting Is. "
FITZ IS CONFIDENT.
The red-haired fighter himself did not ap
pear to be overpleaoed with the result of the
conference , but he did not lose any of the
confidence that has characterized him ever
since ho began training for thefight. .
"I have always fought under the rules as
meaning that the men shall not hit with one
arm free and with all of the breakaways
clean , " said ntzalmmons , "and this Is rather
a new thing for me. Corbett has won all
of his fights under the rules as I want them ,
and I do not see why ho should make a holler
for something different this time. However ,
I have always given In on everything to
everybody , and I am willing to glvo In on
this. I want the fight to bo on the grmara
and I know that I will win It. I will be the
winner of that fight on the 17th of March
Just as sure cs I am alive today , Corbctt
cannot lick me and ho will never too the
day ho can , no matter whether he fights under
Marquis of Quecneberry rules , or any other
rules. "
Corbctt was Inclined to vlovv the surrender
of Julian with scorn.
"That Is what they have been praying for
all along , " said Corbett. "H Is In every way
to the advantage of FHzslmmonu to hit with
ono arm free. It Is conceded on all eldca
that bo Is a harder hitter than I am and
that he Is better on the Jab than I am. On
the other hand , I um better than Fitzslin-
mons on long range fighting , and I am moro
scientific. I consider It more to his advan
tage than to mine tlmt Slier has ruled OH
ho has. I was willing today and I always
have been willing to agree to anything the
referee Enid. I do not consider that I'ltz-
Blmmons la giving up anything at all when
ho agrees to fight OB Slier saya he should.
I'll bet that ho Is laughing In his sleeve right
now at the tredlt ho will get with people
who do not know him for agreeing to RomeI
thing that ho wants moro than nnj thing
rise. I am glad ot one thing this removes
the last obstacle to our fighting , unless I'ltt-
elmmona loses his nerve. The fight Is now
A certainty and when I get that fellow In
tbo ring I Am going to makci him repent all
the hard things bo has been sajtng about
mo for nil these jears. "
The gloves for the contest will bo brought
to SUmrt's office tomorrow by both Brady
and Julian , and after being Inspected by the
referee , will be locked In the safe In Stuart's
office until the diy of the fight , The arrange-
mcnts were made at the conference this
morning between Brady and Julian , the latter
making the proposition and Brady acquiesc
ing promptly.
BOTH MEN TRAINING HARD.
Corbctt did not vary the routine
ot his training today , but tlicro
was nothing In the least resembling monotony
in the exercises for his men who nro aiding
him In his work. He began the day with a
tcn-mtlo trot over the fast-drying roads. Ho
entered on the afternoon work at the wrist
machine , following It up with bag punching
and hand ball. Ho plaved five games ot hand
ball with Joe Corbett as his partner , the
brothers being matched against a pair of
professionals , who had somewhat the better
ot the argument. Without n moment's root
after the hand ball game Jim donned a
sweater and took a wrestling bout. White
then sent "Dig" Jeffries Into the arena and
the California giant had a dccldsdly un
pleasant thrco minutes experience with the
swift gloves ot the champion. Woods fol
lowed Jeffries , taxlug the strength ot
the champion to the utmost , Joe Corbett and
McVey were then taken on. After n good
rubdonn , Corbctt was seen to be In ex
cellent condition and spirits , and called from
Trainer White a relteraneo of the opinion
that his man could not possibly b In better
shape for the contest on March 17.
Fltrslmmons started In this morning by tak
ing an eight-mile run , and upon hla return
to the ranch boxcJ with Slelzner and
Hlckey , A rubdowii finished all the work
of the morning.
Aside from the pugilists , their trainers and
attendants and n score of newspaper men
Hero are perhaps not fifty stiangcrs In
town , Including half a dozen women , who
have come to sco the fight. The legislature
Is still In scrslon , doing little or nothing , and
will doubtless not adjourn until tomorrow
or Monday , as noneof the members Intend
going home until after the 17th ,
Bat Mastcrson , who. It la understood , will
have charge of the force of men who will
maintain order at the arena , will have his
force organized and In proper shape In a
day or two , to preserve the peace If their
scrvl'H's are necessary.
George Green , "Young Corbctt , " who Is
to fight "Mysterious" Billy Smith , and who
In the early part of the week fell Into the
Casson river , has met with another accident ,
and this time ono that tmy hurt his chances
In the ring. In boxing today ho struck his
tralnci , McArthur , on the head , spraining
his thumb very badly. It Is hoped by Green
that his hand will bo all right , but It will
probably put htm back In his training.
There was a report today that ritzslmmons
and Corbctt had met on the road again , but
there was not the slightest foundation for
the story. The men were never closer than
five miles apart.
