Meanwhile It Is Thought the Texas Legislature WiM Shut Out Prlze-Flghtlng. SAX ANTONIO, Tex., Sept. 30.-It wa3 learned here this morning that negotia tions have beta quietly in progress for the past few days between the Florida Athletic Club and railroad officials in Mexico look ing to the pulling-ofi of the Corbett-Fitz simmons tight in that country across the river from Eagle Pass or at some point be low there on the line of the Mexican Inter national road in case it was found impossi ble to have it at Dallas or in the Indian Territory. It is stated that the Governor of Coahuila, Mexico, guarantees protection to the fight ers. President Stuart writes a friend here that he will positively pull the fight off eoiue where on or before October 31 if the principals are alive and ready to meet each other. AI'STIN, Tex., Bept. 30.— There are very few members of the Legislature in the city, and it's not probable that a quorum will be here to-morrow when the special session begins. From those who have ar rived, however, it has been learned that the genera) sentiment is in favor of the immediate passage of a law making prize righting a felony. The Legislature will, it is said, be in session thirty days, as Gov ernor Culberaon will lay other matters be fore it, among them the recommendation of a law makinc gambling a feiony. CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Sept. 30.— Fully 1000 people assembled at the Aran 6as Pass depot to-night, all eager to get a glimpse of the big Australian. Fitzsim mons was met at the train by a committee of representative men and esourted to the ConstanUne Hotei. Fitzsimmons has but little to say in reference to the light. Mar tin Julian, Ernest Roberts, Duncan C. Ross, Charles White, Joe Rancher and the lion constitute the personnel of the party. Fitzsimmons will move into his quarters to-morrow. He is in good condition. CORIiETJTS FAREWJSZ.I, BOW. Before Leaving Smo I'orfc He Talked to the Fublic. NEW YORK, N. V.; Sept. 30. —At the Madison-square Garden to-day Champion James J. Corbett made his farewell bow to New York prior to his fight with Bob Fitzsimmons .on October 31. The cham pion leaves for Texas to-morrow for final preparations. During the afternoon Corbett gave an exhibition of his .training methods, in cluding bag-puncning, machine exercises, wrestling, etc. In the evening there were a series of bouts, mostly between local lights, and the 4000 spectators were by no means patient in awaiting the coming of the champion. Corbett was a little on the fleshy side, but will doubtless train down in a month. When Corbett clambered through the ropes he met an enthusiastic reception and loud calls for a speech. He said: "Of course you all know that I am going down to Texas to get ready to meet Mr. Fitzsimmons. I have the utmost confi dence in the ability of the Florida Athletic Club to bring off the contest. If the prin cipals are as ready to tight as I think they are we will not come back from Texas without one. lam willing to do anything or go anywhere that the Florida Athletic Club says, and I have confidence in it." Corbett wound up the entertainment with a three-round bout with Steve O'Don nell. OX THE EASTERN TRACKS. Running Meetings to lit Carried Indrfin- itehj at Highland Park.

It la Expected That They Will Defeat the K-'-P-r - English Athlete: NEW HAVEN, Coxn., Sept. 30.—Every thing is ready for the great international collegiate athletic meeting between the team representing Yale University and the champion Cambridge University team of England, which are to be contested on Manhattan field, New York, next Satur day. Both teams practically completed their severe course of training to-day, and with the exception of light work to keep in trim the time now on until the games will be passed quietly. There is little doubt that Yale men will win easily, as they seem to have a sure thing on every event. The betting is as high as 3tol in their favor, with few takers. The English team has acknowledged that it cannot hope to win, as it is unable to withstand the severe climatic conditions, and that none of tbe men are in the best of heaitu. For the past week, however, they have indulged in secret practice, and it is thought that, contrary to expectations, they will make a very strong showing. The Yale team is practically the same as that which met Oxford University at Kensington Ovai, London, last year and were defeated. The Cambridge team badly defeated the champion Oxford team this year, and nearly all tvs men compos ing it are record-breakers. The outlook for a close struggle, notwithstanding the betting, is very bright. A reception will be given to-morrow night to the visiting athletes by representatives of Harvard and Yale universities.

Txoo Wheelmen to Run From Chicago to . San FranclieO' j NEW YORK, N. V., Sept. 30.— Chi cago wheelmen will start from the City Hall to-morrow on the longest record ride of the year. San Francisco is their des tination, and if they win their time must ho better than , 48 days and 18 hours. B. D. Blakeslee of the Chicago Cyciinar Club and N. A. Winquist, a strong road rider, are the young men who will figure in the trial. They are both well-known Chicago cyclers, and upon their arrival in that city will be tendered a reception. This is tlie longest journey ever, taken by a cyclist, but both are con fident of accomplishing their purpose. On their transcontinental ride the cyclists will 1 use wheels weighing twenty-three pounds and will carry as little baggage as possible. Aside from the necessary clothing this will compromise a repair outfit an<\ a haversack. . The greater part of the riding will be done by daylight, but when condi tions favor the tourists will push on at night, but at no time do they expect to re main on the road from sundown to sun rise. . .".;.;• ' v ;■■':,■ RACES AT SALIVAS. Trade Record for Two- lear~ Olds llrohen by Prince Gift. SALINAS, Cal,, Sept. 30. -Fast time was made at the Salinas fair racea to-day. In rtie first race, for the two-year old colt stakes, the time was the fastest ever made by a two-year-old on this track. The race was won in two straight heats by J. B. Iverson's Prince Gift, in 2:27%. The second race, a 2:20 class trot, was the event of the day, it being warmly con tested by Boodle and Irene Crocker. Boodle sold a favorite from start to finish.

Hubert's bay mare Altoonita. Ivolo took the first heat in 2:27,-£. Altoonita taking the next two in 2:25 and 2:27, Ivolo then won the fourth and fifth heats in 2:24 and 2:25. REDWOOD CITT'S TROPHI. San Mateo and Mountain View Cyclers Rcaten. REDWOOD CITY, Cal., Hept. 30.— The Redwood City cup defenders won* the twenty-rive-mile relay race from Milbrae to Mountain View, in which crack teams from Mountain View, San Mateo and Red wood City were the participants.

This being the second time the cup has been won by the Redwood City Bicycle Club, the beautiful silver trophy remains permanently in their possession. The Fight "A"o Contest."

The storm on the lakes has been the heaviest of the seasCp. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1895. WATSON'S OPINIONS Valkyrie IIPs Designer Says That the Race Was a Farce. VERY BAD TREATMENT. Yet at His Suggestion the Brit ish Boat Remained on This Side. WILL RACE HERE NEXT SEASON. Dunraven and His Associates Have Not Given Up the Quest for the Cup. NEWPORT, R. 1., Sept. 30.— Designar George L. Watson left to-day for New York and will sail Wednesday on the White Star steamship Teutonic. He has been here during the last week with Lord Dunraven and it is thought that the plans for the Valkyrie during the coming racing season were laid out. It was at Mr. Watson's desire, so it has leaked out, that the Valkyrie was allowed to remain in this country after Lord Dun raven had settled that she was to go to England immediately after the cup races. Mr. Watson when seen to-day by The Call correspondent and asked whether he would return to America during the com ing racing season, said that he would surely. ''Have you any views to express on the cup races of the year?" "I have nothinc else to say than what I have stated before that our treatment was simply abominable. When international yachting gets to be such a farce as it was this year it is eminently right and proper that it should be stopped immediately. As far as I can see the races this year were viewed more in the light of prize-fights than anything else, not one single element of sportsmanlike treatment entering into them. I bave to be convinced that the Defender is the better boat." "In the first race the Defender beat us fairly, but then you must take into calcu lation the fact that it was the initial race, and we were not able to do our best, as it was in most respects only a feeler. In the second race I do not think the Defender's accident prevented her from winning, for we lost fully as much time when we luffed up to see what action the committee was going to take and in getting under way again as she did by having her topmast stay broken. Her accident was of a very sim ple nature, as any seaman knows, but in the present instance it has been magnified into a thing of tremendous importance, and I truly believe that the majority of people believe the accident was the only thing that prevented the Defender from winning by a large margin. I have noth ing to say in regard to the decision of the coiuiiiittee as being a body of sportsmen. I presume that their action was taken justly, although I must confess that it was an impossibility for me to see how they arrive! at that decision. "I shall be back early in the spring to superintend the tuning up of the Valkyrie and she will compete in all the lari<e races during the season. I have several altera tions in view, which I think will make her several minutes faster, and I feel confident that she will give a good account of herself during the coming season. I am not authority for the statement, but the Val kyrie will doubtless be used as a trial horse for the new cup challenger, which will arrive much earlier in the season than ever before, so as to get in trim for the races." FOR THE HAl.l-BATEB CUP. That Trophy Also Coveted by the Cana dian larhtsrtien. MONTREAL, Quebec, Sept 30.— At si special meeting of the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club held this evening it was de cided, in view of the defeat of the Spruce IV in the international challenge series by the American yacht Ethelwynn, to challenge for the half rater cup. The requisite amount for the designing and building of the boat was at once sub scribed. The new challenger will be built by G. H. Duggan, and in the event of an English challenger will have a series of trial races to see which will try for the cup. SCHOFWLV'S Jt£TIRJS3I£XT. President Cleveland Says Nice Things Ahout the Veteran. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 30.— The following order announcing the retirement of General Schofield was published to-day: Executive Mansion. Lieutenant-General John M. Schofield having reached the agt. entitling him to relief from active military service in accordance with the provisions of law, is hereby placed upon the retired list, with all the pay allowances belonging to his rank upon such retirement. With much regret the President makes the announcement that the country is thus to lose this dis tinguished general, who hns done so murh for its honor and efficiency. His pallantry in war challenges the a'dmira tiqn of all hie countrymen, while they will :iot fail to gratefully remember and appreciate how faithfully he has served his country in times of peace by his splendid, successf ul per formance of civil as well as military duty. Lieutenaut-General Schofield's career—exhib iting unvarying love for his profession, zealous care for It 6 honor and good name, a ju«t appre hension of the subordination it exacts and the constant manifestation of the best traits of true Americanism— furnishes an example of ines timable value that Rhould teach all other people that the highest fcnldierly qualities are built upon the keenest sense of obligations be longing to good citizenship.

C, Sept. 30. -The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia concluded its labors to-day and was dis charged. A recommendation in its final report that the whipping-post be estab lished in the district for the punish ment of wife-beaters and petty thieves created much surprise not to say astonish ment. It was signed by sixteen members of the Grand Jury. In directing the clerk to file the paper Judge Bradley remarked that he agreed that the establishment of a whipping-post here would be productive of good results in some instances. But the courts could not establish it, hence Con gress should be applied to in the matter and he advises the members of the Grand Jury to move in that direction. Stricken Tilth Paralysis. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 39.— Ex- Senator William Mahone had a stroke of paralysis this morning. He has been stopping at Chamberlin's Hotel, and this morning his son, Butler Mahone, calling at his father's room found the general still in bed and apparently very drowsy. Not suspecting anything wrong Butler left the room, and calling again later found his father still in the same condition. He be came alarmed and a physician was sum moned. After examination the doctor pronounced it a case of paralysis. His condition is critical. intl Take Off the Steamers. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 30.—Con sul O'Hara writes the Department of State from San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, bis station, that it is reported in Bluehelds that the Southern Pacific Company -will discontinue running its vessel of the Mor gan line of steamships between New Or leans and Blueiields. The reasons assigned for this action are the low price of bananas and the difficulty of competing with ves sels owned by Norwegians and manned by the poorly paid sailors of that nation. Captain Amies' Case. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 30.—Secre tary Lamont has as yet taken no action in the caee of Captain Armes. General Scho lield left Washington last evening for Pelee Island, in Lake Erie, to spend two weeks tlshing. The objectionable letter addressed him by Captain Armes has been turned over to Secretary Lamont. Treasury Statement. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Sept. 30.— Tbe Treasury statement of receipts and expend itures issued to-morrow will show a Sur plus for the month of September of nearly $3,000,000. The receipts are $27,500,000 and expenditures $24,500,000. Compared with last September, the receipts are nearly $5,000,000 greater and the expenditures $4,500,000 less. REPRIMAND OF KIRKLAND Secretary Herbert's Rebuke to the Admiral 'Approved by Cleveland. Censured for Confixatulatlngr Presi dent Faure of France on His Election. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 30.—Secre tary Herbert's reprimand of Admiral KirkLind, commanding the European squadron, it is understood, has been ap proved by President Cleveland, and the incident is thereby probably closed. AdmirafKirkland is an old personal friend of the chief executive of France, and when M. Faure was elected to the presidency of that Republic the former wrote him a congratulatory letter signed in his own capacity. When knowledge of this fact transpired exception was taken to it by the Navy Department, and Secre tary Herbert called for an explanation. Admiral Kirkland made no effort to con ceal the authorship of the letter, and a | reprimand was administered by the Sec retary. From this the officer appealed to the President- • . It is said that the President in his letter to the, admi^l, transmitted through the j sear«ta'r3-*"-w<nt htnhez than merely u}> holuing the course of the Secretary and in- ; formed Admiral Kirkland .that in his of- j ficial capacity as commander of the Euro [ pean squadron he had no right to write a i communication to the President of France congratulating him upon his election. President Cleveland and Secretary Her bert both were of the opinion that the ex tension of congratulations to a successful candidate might be taken as a felicitation j over the defeat of his opponents, and the latter taking umbrage at the course pur sued by a naval representative miirht. em broil us in a complication with the Govern ment of France. Rear-Admiral Kirkland did not refuse to ! furnish the department with a copy of his letter to M. Faure, but so far it has not been received. ' •; xot to cliiri'LE tbaf&ic. There Wat Only Talk of Withdrawing a Loral Train. OMAHA, Nebr., Sept. 30.— Reports to the effect that the Southern Pacific con templated withdrawing its trains at Ogden are creating a great deal of comment in railroad circles. Discussing the subject to-day General Manager Dickiuson of the Union Pacific said : "The foundation for the rumor rests In the fact that Mr. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific telegraphed to me, as well as to the general managers of other connecting lines, that there was soino talk of with drawing a train from Ogden to Reno. We were notiried that before this was done we would be given ample time to meet with him and other Southern Pacific offi cials and discuss the withdrawal of this train. This meeting will be held shortly. The train that the Southern Pacific pro poses to withdraw is the one that connects at Ogden with Union Pacific train No. 7, which is the througn local train. Our principal through train from Chicago and Omaha to San Francisco is No. 1, the over land rlyer, and if the proposed train was withdrawn it would in no way affect No. 1. There is no intention whatever on the part of the Southern Pacific to ruin our through business, or in any way to miss or inter fere with our through connections." "BLOOIii MOXDAY 2iIGHT.» Rushing and Punching Renewed at Har vard College. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 30. — "Bloody Monday night" at Harvard has been re juvenated. To-night the sophomores and freshmen rushed and "scrapped" as of old. In the early part of the evening a recep tion was held at Lander's Theater. Ad dresses were made by President Kliot, Prof. Norton and Governor Greenhalge. After ward a reception was held in Memorial Hall at which the new students met the officers. It was thought that this would kill any feeling for excitement in the in coming class. Only a few punches were given on the grounds and Harvard square was very quiet. About 10 o'clock faint cheering began in the yard and soon the yard was rilled with college men and others. The rushing be gun it was kept up until a late hour, very little attempt being made to stop it. A member of the faculty was in the yard looking on. This is the iirst organ ized rush in over five years. The result will probably be the shutting down on freshmen athletics by the faculty. Two Banks Insolvent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Sept. 30.— The Bank of Monett and the Bank of Purdy, both Bary County banks, have been closed by Secretary of State Leiseur upon notification by the State Bank Ex aminer of their insolvency and are in the hands of receivers. This makes thirteen banks closed by the Secretary of State since the executionof the bant examination law began on July 1, besides some half dpzen others that anticipated the execu tion by making assignments. SYMPATHY FOR CUBA, Continued from First Pafje. from the European rule which the other nations of the New AYorld have already se cured. Be it further Resolved, That the organization which ar ranged this gathering be requested to take charge of and continue the good work so auspiciously begun this evening. I)r. Barrows followed the reading of the resolutions with an appeal for their adoption. 'We are told," said he, "that we must keep on good terms with Spain, but there is a limit even to good fellowship. I hope these meeting, will arouse a new feeling of independence and patriotism. I do not believe that a cutthroat nation has any right to be honored with our silence here to-night." , Mayor Swift introduced Bishop Fallows, who spoke briefly. The proceedings closed with the singing of two verses of "America." The meeting at Association Hall was no less enthusiastic or crowded. Judge Wil liam A. Vincent made a few remarks as Dresiding officer, saying he was a believer in ; he independence of Cuba, but did not wish to see a violation of international law. The audience was deeply interested and any good point made was taken up at onie. After the Rev. P. S. Hensou had spoken ex-Corporation Counsel John Palmer ex plained the intent and effect of the laws of nations. He thought the people of the United States should speak through the newspapers to their brother Americans of Cuba and should urge our own Govern ment to recognize the Cubans as bel- ligerents. W. J. Hynes followed Mr. Palmer, after which the resolutions were read by Dr. Thomas. They were adopted with great enthusiasm. The Hon. W. E. Mason's talk closed the meeting and the audience ■ang "America" while leaving the building. The audince applauded every sentiment expressed by the speakers suggesting the recognition of the Cubans as belligerents. Two of tho speakers defied the law of nations and Mr. Mason wanted an imme diate repeal of that law which, he said, was only intended to prevent one nation from interfering while another nation was committing depredations of some kind against another nation. The sentiment for the annexation of Cuba ivas not strong. Three speakers wanted the inhabitants of the island to determine their own course by popular vote after independence was gained. SAl'a THEY ARE BRIO Ay IHI. Minister De Lottie's Opinion of the Cuban Insurgents. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 30.— Senor De Lome, the Spanish Minister, stopped a Bhort time in this city to-day, on his way to Montreal, and when seen by a Call cor respondent consented to give his views on the rebellion in Cuba. "The rebellion, contrary to popular be lief," said he, "is by no means receiving the support of influential Cubans, but is made up of the slaves, small planters and others, who, when not engaged in fiehtini? the Government. are little better than brigands. The newspaper reports which have • been received from the island are entirely misleading, as they are from correspondents who in most cases have been nowhere near the t-cene of notion, and write from nici.. hear say. The rebellion has been c<|itfineil only to the eastern part of the island in the region of Santo de Cuba and Puerto Prin cipe, and excepting for occasional raids from the mountains, the rebels have made no important advances. In fact, they have been defeated in every pitched battle which has been fought. The reports con cerning the alarming losses of the Spanish troops are entirely misleading, as the offi cial reports which I have received show that the losses have been very light, and even the greater part of these are from the climatic conditions, which have told very severely on the troops. •'The revolution itself is destined to die a natural death, as no Cubaii3 having the welfare of their country will be identified with it. All the stories about General Campos' giving up the campaign in despair are mere nonsensical stories, pure fabrications. He is at present merely bid ing his time until the ending of the we', season, when he will take the field with a. picked army, and the rebellion will be of short duration. I am pleased to see that the administration has not consented to recognize the rebels as having belligerent rights, as no Government knowing the true state of affairs could do so without being exposed to ridicule. The American people, I am sorry to say, have rather a perverted idea of the rebellion. One has only to look into the history of the other republics on the American continent that have abandoned the Spanish rule to see what would be the result if | Cuba secured her freedom. If the Spanish rule is bad, liberty would be far worse, and when it is a question of choosing between two evils it is generally policy to take the leaser, j "Once more I say that the rebellion will be crushed out even if it takes every sol dier in Spain and the entire wasting of the treasury. The prospects for a speedy ter mination of the revolution are very bright. We have a large and well-disciplined army in Cuba, who are now thoroughly accli mated, and with the best general in Spain at their head they will make short work of the rebels as soon as they take the fieid. They have not as yet made a single cam paign, but with the advent of October work will be commenced in earnest, and from the reports which I have received the campaign will be short, but decisive, and the rebels will be taught a lesson which will prevent any further turbulence."

V., Sept. 30.— The Cuban revolutionary party in this city received news of the gathering of delegates for the establishment of a Provisional Government. The news came by letter from General Carlos Roloff, who now has with him 12,000 men. The letter says, among other things: "By the time you receive this the Provisional Government will have been established. All the dele gates from the different provinces are now in Camaguey, where they will organize." It was expected when the letter was written that General Bartolomeo Massoj would be made the head of the Provisional] Government. Regarding the general situ-J ation the letter says: "The revolution ift everyday becoming more powerful." IT IS ALL PURE FICTION. Spain yot Warned That Uncle Sam Wit Recognize Rebels. LONDON, Esq., Sept. 30.— The Spanish Embassy has authorized the United Piss to make the following statement: Ihe Spanish Embassy has coramunicaterl by telegraph with the Foreign Office at Madrid in regard to rumors published iv Amejican papers and reproduced in London--ftfws papers to the effect that Secretary Oiney has warned the Spanish Minister at \vf.sh ington that the insurrection of Cuba (nust be crushed within three months or other wise the United States Government w m adopt a different policy from the! one hitherto observed. To this communication the Spanish Foreign Office has replied that the ie ws paper statement referred to is pure fii ; tk>n. The relations between Spain and the United States, the reply adds, are sr iooth and harmonious, and there are no is the slightest signs of friction. MASSO PUhVJCTS riCTOJTx. Cuba Says the Leader", Will Tfiroig Off the Spanish lofee. I A correspondent visited the ; insurgent headquarters two days ago and had a) orief interview with General Bartolomeo Masso, head of the new rebel government. ' Dur ln the last war," said General Masso, "we never had 'more than 10,000 men in arms against the Spanish Government, an i no Cuban general ever led as many a& 2000 men into battle. And yet the struggle lasted long years and cost Spain the lives of .150,000 soldiers. s j "In the present movement we nave al ready 40,000 men in the field, and if w% had the arms for them we could muster within a fortnight twice that many. In the prov ince of Santiago alone we : have 23,000, in Las Villas 10,000 and in Camaguay at least 7000. But only about half of these ar A. well armed; the remainder are simply equipped with single-fire rifles, shotguns, muskets, revolvers and machetes. However, when expeditions from abroad, which we ari ex pecting daily, arrive, our entire forcelwill soon be placed in fighting trim and then active operations will commence. f I'For the present we must keep 'uponjthe defensive, content ourselves with harass ing the enemy's columns with small guerrilla forces, and only make serious at tacks upon them when we nave the oppor tunity to seize a convoy or capture an out post where arms and munitions can be secured. Any other tactics would for the present be Buicidal to us. "We have, be sides, everything to gain by delay Spam all to lose. It suits our convenience to allow Government columns to tire them selves chasing our forces around the coun try. Wnile we lose comparatively few men in this way, yellow fever and dysen tery daily claim their numerous victims from the Spanish ranks." General Masso has, he says, strong hopes that, desmte the vigilance that is at pres ent displayed in the United States to pre vent the shipment of arms for Cuba, Pres ident Cleveland may still be one of th? first to recognize the belligerent rights of the revolution. To-day, despite President Cleveland's neutrality, or, more properly speaking, the friendly disposition of the United States toward Spain, as defined in the policy of Secretary Olney, President Masso says the Americans get no thanks for it. On the contrary, the press of the peninsula grows more bitter from day to day in editorial attacks on the United States, and even urges Minister Canovas to send a Spanish fleet to Xew York to ask President Cleveland to explain why he has not imprisoned Delegate Palma, Treasurer Guerra, Secretary Quesadaana ether mem berg of the Cuban junta. "By recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cuban republicans," Masso continued, "the United States would relieve herself of the unthankful task of doing police duty for the Spanish Government, the majority of wtiose own warships and revenue cut ters lie idle at anchorage in Cuban ports, and all of which have so far done abso lutely nothing to prevent the landing of filibustering expeditions upon thd islands, and, . t-elHgor.itv v oTic^v £stab\ishe/, ajiiv? market would be VJfcened up t<s"AmiTicun arms factories and American powder mills. The United States," in brief, has nothing to fear from Spain and much to win from Cuba." FOR A HALF UILLTOS. David "Fitzgerald Sura the Estate of Hit flfffij Brother John. LINCOLN, Nebk., Sept. 30.— An action for a round half-million dollars was com* menced to-day in the District Court against the estate of the late John Fitz gerald. His brother, David Fitzgerald, is the plaintiff. The claim was entirely un expected. David is the youngest brother of John Fitzgerald and was educated by him and has until recent years made his home with John and his family. At present David Fitzgerald is not in the city, his attorneys riling the suit. Mr. Monahan, attorney for the John Fitzgerald estate, said this evening, re ferring to the suit: "The copannership of. John Fitzperald & Brother was not suc cessful, and every contract taken by them which was under David's maraKenient proved a financial loss; necessarily, the loss was always borne by John Fitzgerald. Plainly speaking, I believe this claim is not worthy of serious consideration." The suit causes something of a sensation in Lincoln business circles. Australia and Japnn, LONDON', Eng., SeDt. 30.— Premier King ston of South Australia has invited the various interested colonies to send 'dele gates to a conference, to be held at Ade laide, to consider the relations of the colo .nies with Japan. He claims there is an urgent necessity for such a conference, in view of the influx into the colonies of Japanese from the norih. . — ♦ ,— California Fruit in London.
