All so far were for small amounts , $6.50 to $10 , and $12 to $20 , with an occa- nlonal $70 to $100. So far , at least , $25,000 hare been bet ono the result. If any large Ijeta hare been made hero the arrangements were private. Quite as much attention was paid to the races during the day. The truth is. perhaps , that all , except enthusiastic friends of Fltzslmmons , arc controlled by the belief that ho can win only by a chance Jab , nod thfj odds are not largo enough to Induce admirers to bet freely on him. It" Is estimated that with the arrivals this afternoon and evening , 2,600 strangers are In town. The bulk of the crowd expected will corao In tomorrow morning , when the minors from Virginia City and several more special trains are rluo. The talc of tickets was brisk today , and Dan Stuart fccla moro hopeful about a largo attcndanco than for several days. How largo it will be , no ono can toll , but It la now ex pected to reach from 4,000 to 5,000. Every train that arrived today was late , and It la not unlikely that some people who , from the east , are now on their way here , may not Bet In In tlmo to see tbo fight , Regarding the chances of the men , thcr lias been but llltlo change In the opinion o the sporting men. Corbett Is the favorlt among the betting men , but It cannot b denied that there has been during the da ; an Increase In which the esteem of th chances of Fltzslmtnons are heltj. Muldoon' opinion of FlUslmmons has gained frlendi for the latter , as naturally It should , whei It la considered that Muldoon Is a friend o Corbett , and wlshoa for his success. WBIG11T OP TUB FIGHTERS. Corbett will enter the ring weighing 181 pounds , three more than when ho tough , Mitchell. Fltzslmmons' weight Is estimate t 165 pounds , although Julian said today that ho will be heavier than that , "or be tween 170 and ISO. " Julian said very plainly that Fltz would not concede moro than twelve pounds to Corbett. Both men have carefully planned thol , battle and while neither of them will discus : the matter It Is evident that both have given the matter enough thought. Th lr plans 01 liatllo are well understood , however , de splto the ojcrecy which has been maintained by the fighters and their trainers. Corbet will fight a careful battle and for severa rounds at lenst will endeavor to keep his antagonist at arm's length. When ho con siders that he has worn Fltzslmmons. down comewlmt he wlll'go In for closer work am endeavor to win. For the first five rounds a. least It Is the Intention of the Corbett party to have their man fight In a defensive manner nor , particularly with his handi. Corbet fit first will endeavor to draw Fltzslmmons Into making leads and rely on the clmnco o : landing a counter. Fltzslmmons baa also planned to do a trlflo slow work for tbo first round or two , but after that he will endeavor to get close to his man and land ono of thosn "awful rlght-handcra" which have so many times returned him a winner. Fltzslmmons Is not capable , by reason of his aggressive temper ament , of remaining on the defensive for any great length of time , and he knows well that his strength lies In offensive fighting. lie Is In moat respects on abnormal man and he docs not talk , act or think according to accepted standards. In all things ho la un conventional and original. Ho follows meth ods In his training which will not suit ono ( man In thousands , but under them ho con ditions himself to perfection. Ho fights ac cording to notions of his own and he Is always victorious. Ho eald today of hlm- eclf : "I never fought any man on the aamo plan that I fought anybody before him and I never try to tell myself how to fight be fore. I begin. When the time comes I do as my Instincts tell mo and that Is all I can tell about It. " "Fltzalmmons1 plan of battle , " said Julian , "la known only to himself except in the merest outlines. Ho la the queerest man I over saw and although I have been with him for many years I do not understand Hum at all. I have given up trying to un derstand him. Ho always hag something vpr his .sleeve and ho has It now , but I have Biven up trying to gucsa him. I Just get along with him the best way I can'.and Jet the results take care of themselves. " FIT& MAY' LEAVE THE QOUNTRY , Fltzslramonl 'today'Me.i3ed ' # that. In the event of his losing tho'fight he will leave the country. "What else Is there for mo' to do ? " h6sald. "I cannot get any moro matches In the middleweight class , and If I lose this It will show that I am not In the heavyweight class , and then , as I cannot act like Corbett , there Is nothing for mo to do but get out. I expect toyin of course , but any man may lose a fight and of course there Is a chance of my losing this one. A fighter always takes chances no matter who he la up against. One thing Is sure , If I lose I quit the United States. " Just who will be In Corbett's corner to morrow baa not beendecided. While , Delaney - lanoy and McVey will , of course , second their man , but who the fourth man will bo is still n matter of doubt. Corbett has In timated that ho would like to have his brother Joe bahlnd him , but White favora John Donaldson , who arrived today and who lias had much experience In that lino. Jimmy Colvlllo of Boston will act aa timekeeper f or , Corbett. JOHN J. I.NGALLS AllIUVES. Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas came In today. "I have never been to a prize light" ho said to a gentleman on the train , "but I wanted to see ono before I die. " Mr. Ingalls was trained down to his usual line edge and did nnt take up much room In the traveling suit and box overcoat in which bo reached the scene. Ho admitted on- his arrival that ho did not know much about prize fighting , either In theory or In practice , but he was very willing to learn and accepted an Invitation to visit Corbott's quarters. The cx-nonator looked na though he rather regretted the tilp uhen lie was ushered Into the smoky bar room at Shaw's Springs , filled as It was with brawny , strong Jawed devotees of the game , who stared suspiciously at the gentleman from Kansas. There was little clmnco for es cape , however , and he followed his cwcor * . Into Corbett'a parlor , where Introduction en sued , "How do you do , My.

Mr. Mutz was of the opinion that If the amendment was repudiation then the present law amounted to the same thing , for , as ho understood It , the amendment made no change In the present law , for even now the mortgagee can recover from the surety and the surety can In turn recover from the mortgagor. Mr. Murphy of Oago took the floor , but yielded for a motion to take a recess until 2 o'clock. After recess Mr. Murphy proceeded to argue In favor of the amendment because It was the only redeeming feature of the bill. He was opposed to the bill. He held that It was perfectly Just to hold the surety for a deficiency , but unjust to release the principal who had had the benefit of the money. The bill Itsilf , ho declared , was bad. Mr. Leo announced his Intention of voting for the bill tor the rccson that Its passage would bo approved by the people. Mr. Jcffcoat mads his maiden speech and opposed the amendment , but favored the bill. IIo declared that the people did not desire to repudiate their debts , but they' were In voluntarily compelled to resort to repudia tion. At the conclusion of his remarks a veto was taken on the pending amendment and It was rejected by a vote of 8 to 15. EXEMPT EXISTING CONTRACTS. Mr. Murphy then offered an amendment providing that the act should not bo applic able to any existing contracts or obligations or any suit now pending or any decree or Judgment already rendered thereon. Mr. Deal opposed this amendment , saying that ho preferred to leave the question open for the courts to decide. Mr. Gondrlng favored tbo amendment. Ho said with some warmth that the bill was dangerous , If the remedy for the enforce ment of the contract Is taken away. Mr. Mutz made a hot talk In favor of the bill. Ho read a blank mortgage , showing , as ho asserted , that It was a conditional con tract to sell the promises. When the mort gage was foreclosed the property was taken and the contract fulfilled. Mr. Hansom assorted that the proposal meant repudiation. To pass the law under discussion would be to make good the repub lican charge that the fusloiilsts were friendly to repudiation. It the legislature passes this law the state of Nebraska would stand before - fore the whole country as the advocate of repudiation. In the course of his remarks Mr. Kansom took occasion to make a vigor ous reply to some statements made by ht colleague ; Mr. Jeffcoat of Douglas. While on the floor some time prevlouesly Mr. JefT- coat had characterized the leaner of money as a shylock. Mr. Ransom said with some heat that the man must b& possessed of a small mind indeed If he branded a man as a shylock who loaned money and asked to have It repaid when it was due. Mr. Graham said at the beginning of his remarks in favor of the bill that the men who opposed it had lived in the cltlea so long that they knew nothing about the situation In the country. INTEREST OF THE FARMER. Mr. Gondrlng again took the floor and made a moat spirited denunciation of the bill. Ho was surprised , he declared , that mem bers of the reform party had the hardihood to openly and publicly advocate the passage of a law that meant so plainly that existing contracts should bo Invalidated and that repudiation of honest debts ehould be Justi fied. Ho said that nine-tenths of the mem bers of the reform party In Nebraska would condemn the passage of the 'bill. He de clared that the bill was damning If the amendment offered by the senator from Gage was not attached to It. He Insisted that the farmers of the state were not demanding repudiation. What they wanted more than anything else was an opportunity to renew the mortgages on their farms , and they did not want any law passed that would pre vent them from , renewing. Mr. Beal , author of the bill , made a lengthy argument In favor of the measure. , Ho was followed by Mr. Muflly of Madison , who also argued for the bill. ' Mr. Murphy of Gage closed the debate on his amendment. Ho declared that for the first time in Its-history In Nebraska populism stood before the people stripped of ita hypocrisy. After Mr. Murphy had concluded , his amendment was rejected. The committee then , by a vote of 13 to 11 , rose an $ recom mended tbo bill to pass. The report was adopted 'by ' a vote of 17 to 13. A large number of committee reports were received. Dills on third reading werp taken up and the following was passed : Senate file No. 210 , relating to school districts In villages. Just after recess the senate passed No. 104 , relating to the protection of flsh. The anti-corporation bills pending In the senate comm'ltteo on miacellanpous corpora tions were this afternoon reported and placed on general file. There were eight of the bills regulating and taxing telephone , tele graph , express and street railway companies , cigarette manufacturers and oil companies. VAI..UE OF IIIIOAIJY'S SBUVICES.

Broady against ex-Stnto Treasurer John B. Hill this morning handed In a verdict in favor of the plaintiff and fixed the amount iluo at $483.33 , with interest amounting- $17. $ Broady sued for $8.000 , alleged to be a balance duo him from Hill for services ren dered In tbo defense of the cose of the state against the ox-treasurer for $230,000. The plaintiff claimed that hla services In prose cuting the case In district and supreme : ourts were of the value of $10,000 , and that lie had as yet received but $2,000. The plaintiff also alleged that ho defended Hill in the Impeachment proceedings brought by : ho state senate to oust him from the office of state treasurer. In both of these cases Mr. Broady obtained a verdict favorable to his : llent. Hill admitted the rendering of the services , but alleged that the sum of $2,000 laid by him was a reasonable fee.

Lawrence , accus ing mo as secretary of the State Board of Irrigation of sending out an Inaccurate re port , and misleading the people on various questions. Lawrence signs himself C. E. , "civil en gineer. " Indeed : I should bo glad If Law rence would Inform the public where ho re ceived his degree as "civil engineer , " or how ho comes to bo entitled to sign himself C. E. Lawrence should know1 what he1 la-'dolng before ho criticises any one. As to the flrat seVcnty pages which he criticises as a real estate boom circular. It Is simply a history of Irrigation in various counties of the state , nrltton by eminent and truthful men who are a crecllt to Lawrence , and I believe their statements are true- , and when Lawrence says many statements are Inaccurate I be lieve be states what ho knows to bo untrue. Ho especially takes mo to task for presum ing to "write an article on the "Duty of Water , " and says that the article Itself shows that I know but little about the duty of water , and less about the measurements. Now , I said nothing about measurements , and therefore he has no right to criticise mo an that point. I claim to have some knowl edge , however , of the duty of water , hav ing been a practical Irrlgator for a number at years , and I. do not bellevo any man who has not been a practical Irrlgator knows much about the duty of water. Where did Lawrence acquire his superior iblllty In determining the duty of water , ) r its measurement , either , or where did 10 get the right to claim superior ability is an irrigation engineer ? I have known Lawrence for the lost six or seven years , ind from the first time that ho ever saw in Irrigation ditch , and I challenge him o show that ho ever had any practical [ nowledge of Irrigation whatever. He knows 10 more about practical irrigation than a log knows about Latin. IIo bos made his ionic in Scotts Bluff county for the last Ivo cr six years with the exception that 10 has been awuy a good deal of the tlmo luring tbo last two years , and during all ho time ho ban been In that county he has milt but ono ditch , and that a small one , ibout five miles in length , In which ho was > art owner. This bo took from two men vho had started a ditch In Wyoming on echnlcal grounds , and after ho had built t against the judgment of his partner , who ad more sense and moro knowledge , though lot a "C. E , , " they were compelled to spend 1,000 on the bank In repairs before they ould ever get water through the first throe nllos of It. "Civil engineer ! " Ha ! ha ! ha ! ) ld Mr. Peters , who made no pretensions to 10 any kind of an engineer , told him the Our ! 's and. . . . . . . .Other Eyes. Our I'a are just as strong as they were fifty years ago , when we have cause to use them. Hut we have less aud less cause to praise ourselves , since others do the praising , and we are more thau willing for you to see MS through other eyes. This Is how we look to S. F. Boyce , wholesale and retail druggist , Dululh , Minn , who after a quarter of a century of obser vation writes : "I have sold ' Ayer'fl Sarsaparilla - rilla for more thau 25 years , both at wholesale aud retail , and have never heard anything but words of praise frota niy customers ; not a single com plaint has ever reached me. I believe Ayer's Sarsapnrilla to be th : best blood purifier , that has been introduced to the gen eral public. " This , from a tuan who has sold thousands of dozens of Ayer's Sarsaparilla , it strong testimony. But it only echoes popular sentiment the world over , which has , "Nothing but words of praise for Aycr'a Sarsaparilla. " Any doubt about ItTBtud for"CurtbooV It kllli iloubti and euro doubUn. Addreit J. U. Area Co. , Lowell , Mm. ditch would not stand , and bis predictions proved true. I hope Lawrence will bo good cnotlRb to toll tbo people where ho over cnrnpd the nnmo of Irrigation engineer , nnd the only Irrigation engineer In tbo state , as ho claimed to bo , to cay nothing of the title which bo signs "C. 13. " If I were Lawrence , I would not boast so loudly about compe tency until t could at least pronounce the simplest terms used In connection with the formulas of which ho knows so much. In n content tried before mo at Ord of the < \Jmorla Irrigation company against U. A , Oard , Lawrence appeared as ( a witness , and several times during the trial ho pronounced the word velocity "vollclty. " I know another case In which Lawrence took a quit claim deed , written by himself , to a county clerk for record , and In tbo deed ho spoiled quit claim "quick claim. " I presume - sumo ho meant ( p. d. q. ) A flno specimen to bo posing as a scientific man , a com petent , hydraulic engineer , n "G. "R. " I doubt very much whether Lawrence knows that tbo letters C. E. stand for a degrco conferred by nn Institution of learning. If ho does let him tell where ho got the right to USD It. The only trouble about table 19 which bo criticises so unmercifully la , that ho does not know what bo Is talking about , hut where "Ignoranco Is bllas , 'tis folly to bo wUo. " In answer to the charge of In accuracy of table 19 , It would simply bo a waste of tlmo and paper to discuss tbo formulas for flow of water through aper tures , since tbo writer has demonstrated that he knows nothing about It. The height of the aperture In the above table No. 19 rnd also the head of water Is that stipulated by law , and slnco the miner's Inch Is the quantity of water flowing through a square Inch of opening , the discharge In miner's Inches must necessarily bo equal to the number of square Inches In the opening which Is 4SxC-2S8 square Inches. However , the attention of Lawrence Is callo.1 to page 132 of the report Iti which la set forth that a cubic foot per second la equal to very nearly forty Inches , and not fifty as as sumed by Lawrence "C. E. " Go soak yqur head , Lawrence , and when you learn iho A n C's of water measurements , you may then criticise the statements of other -men. The man who prepared table 19 forgets moro In regard to Irrigation engineering every night he sleeps , than you ever know. You are a pretty specimen to criticise the work of ono who Is entitled to wrlto C. E. after bis name. The only trouble with you la that 1 happen to occupy the place which you would like to occupy , and which you havq not brains to rccuro , and you Imagine that the only way to build yourself up Is to tear me down. I should think you bad learned long ago , that this Is a mistake. You commenced your abuse of mo when I run for the senate , and you did your level best then , to defeat me , and have kept It up until now , and have gained nothing , and as far as I am concerned personally , I had rather have you against mo than for mo , where you are known. Hut I do not like to have such an Ignoramus writing articles to newspaper men and criticising such men as E. T. Youngfolt , H. O. Smith , C. F. Seo- borgcr and Ed McLcrnon , and sign himself , "C. E. " You had better go back to Columbus and smash up another piano for your slater. Go slunk away and hide yourself from the view of decent men.V. . It. AKEUS , 0. E. ( nit. ) P. S. Since writing tbo above , I have been Jellberatlng and I conclude that I may have been too harsh with Lawrence In stating that he had no right to sign his narno "C. E. " It Is barely possible that ho Is a mem ber of the Christian Endeavor society , In which case I suggest that ho use their rnono- rani in signing Ills name , Instead of the two Jingle letters , "C.
