THE FIGHT WILL COME OFF
Charley Mitchell Seems to
Mean Business.
The Sports Believe He Is Acting
in Good Faith.
He Will Not Meet Brady in Canada
to Sign Articles.
A Battle Agreed Upon Without Further
Dickering— Corbett Reported 111 at
Minneapolis—A Light-
Weight Contest*
By the Associated Press.
New York, Feb. 23.—Charley Mitchell
has made a public declaration that he
will not meet William A. Brady, Cor
bett's manager, in Canada Saturday to
sign articles, despite tbe fact tbat he
gave his word that he would. This
afternoon he said he wants the $10,003
stake money deposited in New Orleans.
Beiore Mitchell left the Gedney house
this afternoon he issued a letter in which
he says he came to this country ior no
other purpose than to fight Corbett. In
order to complete the arrangements ior
a tight he conceded point after point to
Corbett. After conceding practically
everything, he says the police
threaten to arrest him if his deposit
of $10,000 ie made or articles
signed. Mitchell says he is not anxious
to be sacrificed upon the law's altar for
violation of the statutes against pug
ilistic encounters, and proposes that
Corbett shall meet him in some state
where articles may be signed without
transgressing tbe laws. To this end he
euagests New Orleans. It virtually
means that Mitchell wants to light in
Louisiana and not in tbe north. It is
said Corbett will insist upon fighting
before the Coney Island Athletic club,
so it is most likely tbe match will fall
through. Brady, it is said, will drop
Mitchell and make a match with Peter
Jackson on Monday. Brady and Mitch
ell met tonight and the meeting resulted
in the proposed trip to Canada being
abandoned, and tho matoh being virtu
ally declared off.
LATER —THE FIGHT WILL TAKE FLACK.
Judging from the latest developments
the Mitchell-Corbett light will take
place. William A. Brady, Corbett's
manager, and Mitchell, accompanied by
Squire Abingdon, met at the Gedney
house tonight, and hid a conference.
The result was tbat both men agreed to
fiat.* and do away with further dicker
ing. Mitchell has already deposited a
certified check for $iO,OOO with a well
known sporting man whose name both
parties refused to make public, leßt he
be arrested. The stakeholder is satis
factory to both Brady and Mitchell. The
articles of agreement will most likely be
signed in private and not at New Or
leans or in Canada.
Mitchell has not gone to Canada, as
given out this evening. He will not
leave the city for several days at least.
Brady left on the 12 o'clock train for
Boßton. Beiore going he said he thought
Mitchell is now sincere in hia desire to
arrange a match. The match may be
made tomorrow or Saturday.
MITCHELL WANTS A SMALL KINO.
Mitchell said tonight the smaller the
ring in which he meets Corbett the bet
ter it will suit him. He eaid be would
give Corbett $1000 for every foot he will
allow the ring to be made smaller than
the regulation size. He says he is going
to New Orleans to witness the Hall-
Fitzßimmons fight, and not to make a
match.
The opinion prevails here among sport
ing men that Mitchell does not want to
fight in the north, but prefers to go
south. Mitchell denies this, and said
be would as soon fight here aB in New
Orleans.
POLICE WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Niagara Falls, Ont., Feb. 23.—There
is no truth in the report that the chiei
of the Ontario police has received in
structions to arrest or in any way inter
fere with the Mitchell-Corbett party
when they come here to sign articles for
a fight. The town council unanimously
decided not to interfere with the fight
ers on their arrival and the mayor says
be will not rebel against the action
taken hy the local authorities.

CRIME OF THE CENTURY.
American Bimetallista Pass
Resolutions.
The Demonetization of Silver
Denounced.
Free, Unlimited Coinag-e of the White
Metal Demanded.
Senator John P. Jones Explains the
Brussels Conference—Congressional
Proceedings and Other Do.
lugs at Washington.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Feb. 23. —At today's ses
sion of the American Bimetallic league
the committee on resolutions made the
iollowing report:
Whereas, The great moral and finan
cial crime of the nineteenth century was
the demonetising of silver ir. 1873 by the
congress of ihe United States, acting
under the influence of British per
suasion and British interests; and
Whereas, Said act 1b destructive of
the interests oi the American people
and in disregard of the financial policy
inaugurated at tbe beginning of the
government under the wise guidance of
such statesmen as Washington, Hamil
ton and Jefferson, and formulated in
the act founding the mint of tbe United
States in 1792, and which established a
just ratio between gold and silver as
mint metals:
Therefore, in behalf of the wronged
people and Buffering industries of the
land,
We demand free and uulimited coin
age of silver at the present ratio of 10
to 1.
We denounce as unconstitutional and
revolutionary all legislation which in
any way discriminates between silver
and gold as money metals.
We denounce it as inconsistent wilh
sound public policy to confer or advise,
directly or indirectly, with any foreign
nation as to what the money or currency
of the United States should be.
We denounce the recent attempt to
repeal the act of 1890, authorizing the
treasury department to make monthly
purchases oi silver, as a menace to the
prosperity of the country and an at
tempt to repeal an emergency compro
mise forced upou us then, and we will
resist its repeal by all legitimate meas
ures at our hands, unless there be sub
stitute in lieu thereof free and unlimited
free coinage of silver.
We also denounce the measure now
pending before congress to authorize an
additional issue of government bonds as
vicious and wholly unwarranted by the
present financial condition of the coun
try, and as an attempt to extend and
perpetuate industrial servitude.
We declare it to be our purpose to
continue our struggle until justice is
secured, and to this end we will make
an unremitting effort to educate and
arouse public sentiment. We will im
mediately open a contest in the middle
and eastern states, and we call upon all
iair-minded people of all sections of the
union to aid us in the struggle for indus
trial emancipation.
The report gave rise to considerable
discussion, but was finally adopted
unanimously.
R. F. Kolb, candidate of the Populists
for governor of Alabama, indorsed tbe
aims oi the convention. ,
Senator Jones oi Nevada explained
the Brussels conference. He said 1G per
cent of the population of London were
living upon charity and yet the English
commissioners asked the United States
delegates to agree in their estimation of
tbe value of silver and adopt tbe policy
that brought about this wretched con
dition. The proposition now before con
gress to issue more bonds, he said, waß
a deceptive trick. It means simply that
the banks want to control the circulat
ing medium of the country.
General Field, candidate for vice-pres
ident on the People's party ticket,
spoke, severely criticising the presi
dent-elect for trying to defeat the elec
tion of candidates before the various
legislatures, who represented the wishes
of the people on tbe silver question.

iB believed Secretary Foster will sell

ments finally discussed in committee of
the whole.
At this point, Hilary A. Herbert of
Alabama, the new secretary of the navy
in Cleveland's cabinet, appeared and
was recognized, and was accorded a
hearty round of applause. So persistent
was the applause that he was obliged to
come forward and acknowledge it in a
lew words of thanks.
Then the conference report on the
army appropriation bill was presented
and agreed to.
Without disposing of the Indian ap
propriation bill tbe committee rose and
the house adjourned.

passed the diplomatic and consular and
military appropriations bills, then took
up the executive, legislative and judicial
appropriation bill.
During the discussion the house

man said the committee on foreign rela
tions had already considered the matter

upon its passage. That course was
taken and the bill passed, its venerable
beneficiary being present in tbe cham
ber at the time and bowing his thanks.
Without disposing of the legislative
bill the senate adjourned.

CALIFORNIA'S BURDENS.
THE PEOPLE CINCHED BY THJt
BAILBOAD COMPANIES,
No Other State or Country Could Stand
the Kates Imposed on Us, Says Mr,
Leeds—The Faolflo Mall
Investigation.
Washington, Feb. Panama*
Pacific Mail investigation was resumed
today and tbe Pacific Mail end was
taken up. Leeds, formerly traffic man
ager of the Gould roads, now a repre
sentative of tbe Merchants' Traffic asso
ciation of California, which proposed to
put on a line of steamers In oppns'tios
to the Pacific Mail, testified that thero
had been a compact between the trans
continental railroads and tho Pacific
Mail. The railroads paid the Pacific
Mail a subsidy and reserved the right to
say what classes oi freight the steam
ships should carry, and fixed the rates
to be charged. The management of tha
Pacific Mail was absolutely in the handa
oi the Transcontinental association, as
lar as rates and business were concerned.
His recollection was that the only right
the steamship company reserved was
that it should deal directly with the
public after the rates were fixed. The
effect of the agreement was to keep up
freight rates. The shipment of mer
chandise around Cape Horn by clipper
ships was, to some extent, due to the ef
forts of merchants in the interior, who
were compelled to see their freight gp
clear through to tbe coast from the east,
paying the through rate, then have it
shipped back to them at a high local
'ate, instead of having the freight deliv
r ed on the through trip.
Witness did not think the Panama
railroad ought to be made free to all and
all agreements stopped. He would not
recommend to his company to go into
the scheme at all without a
Panama railroad agreement. The
object of the Transcontinental as
sociation had been to destroy
competition between tho seaboards, in
order that tho railroads might charge
higher rates. In pursuance of this pol
icy the association had paid the Pacific
mail company $65,000 a month in con
sideration oi the steamship company al
lowing the railroads to fix freight rates,
and the Pacific Mail paid tbe Panama
railroad $55,000 a month for exclusive
transportation rights over the railroad.
Leeds said be had made a calculation
of the burdens paid by tbe people of
California for transportation within the
state only. The gross annual earnings
of the Southern Pacific railroad company
alone in the state of California amount
ed to $30,000,01)0, or $20 per bead of the
population. Freight rates in California
should be decreased 25 per cent, or $7,
-500,000. Over tbe Southern Pacific,
for carrying freight front San Francisco
to Fresno, 200 miles, 75 cents per 100
pounds is charged, which would carry
the same freight from New York to
Wichita, Kan. No other country than
California could stand such rates.
E. L. Openbeim, secretary, treasurer
and director of the Panama Railway
company, was examined. He said the
reason the Panama Railway company
did not renew its contract with the Pa
cific Mail company was because the
railway company wished to gain its in
dependence. He further said in the ne
sotiattons for a new contract with the
Pacific Mail, his company insisted on
making rales, but the non-renewal was
the result of the actions of C. P. Hunt
ington in the matter.
Gen. John Newton, president of the
company, corroborated tho testimony ot
Openheim, and the committee ad
journed.
