EX-CHAMPION MUST FIRST WHIP MAHER OR CHOYNSKI IN THE RING. CHANCE ALSO FOR "KID" BI'COY. Clever MidtlletvelKlit Ready to Take on Any One Who Will Be Sat isfactory to KitxMimmoiiK. CHICAGO, Dec. 28.— Martin Julian today, on behalf of Robert Fitzsim mons, made the following signed state ment: "Fitzsimmons will defend his right to the title of champion. Mrs. Fitz simmons has released him from his promise of retirement." Referring to the conditions on which Fitzsimmons will fight Corbett and Mc- Coy, Julian's statement says: "These conditions are as follows: Let Corbett beat a man like Maher or Choynski and establish his right as a member of Bob's class; let McCoy beat his way up to a commanding position and come along with his challenge afterward. Eut first, McCoy must fight a fit op ponent at the middleweight limit and not at catch weights." The statement concludes as follows: "I am not going to allow Mr. Fitzsimmons to accept of fers from inferior men. When the proper time comes Fitzsimmons will meet them all, one after the other, in the same ring if needs be." NEW YORK, Dec. 28.— "Kid" McCoy announced tonight that he had ar ranged to meet Al Smith in this city tomorrow and that he will then post $1,000 as a guarantee that he will meet any man named by Fitzsimmons. It is to meet Martin Julian's condition, announced in Chicago today, that Mc- Coy has arranged tomorrow's confer ence. He is anxious, he says, to find out who Fitzsimmons wants him to fight. CINCINNATI, 0., Dec. 28.— James J. Corbett is playing an engagement here. ] When shown Julian's statement to- j night on behalf of Fitzsimmons as re- i ported by the Associated Press from ! Chicago, he said: "I have very little I to say. If 1 should beat Maher or i Choynski I would only be advancing Fitzsimmons' reputation and leaving myself just where I am now, second to Bob Fitzsimmons. I will do nothing of the kind. Fitzsimmons is the only man I will fight. I shall follow his trail until I compel him to fight me. That is all I have to say." WAS EASILY DWYER'S. Took the Mixed Match From Quinn in Straight Boats. About 300 people gathered at the St. Taul Athletic club gyuiuafium last nig-ht to wit ness the wrcstlinc match between J. C. Quinn. of Madison, "Wis., and M. J. Dwyer, of St. Paul. Preliminary to the main event of the evening there was a catch-as-catch-can bout between William Still and Albert Juhre, both members of the club, an exhibtlon bout between Frank Whitmore, of St. Paul, and George Baptisto, of St. Louis, Mo., and an exhibition of bag punching. The catch-as-catch-can bout,* best two in three, between Messrs. Still and Juhre, was for a prize given by the club and the amateur lightweight championship of the club. Still won the first fall in six minutes, and Juhre won the next two in 11 minutes 30 seconds and six minutes respectively. The prize was a pair of worsted tights. Then followed the exhibition bout between Whitmore and Baptiste. The exhibition was a pretty one and elicited much applause. Aid r George O'Brien, of the club, had given an exhibition of bag punching, Prof. J. L. Snyder, who refereed. ail the events, announced the contest of the evening, the mixed styles wrestling match, Cornish and catch-as-catch-can styles, between J. C. Quinn and M. J. Dwyer. When the men stepped onto tho mat It was noted that Quinn seemed to have the advantage of his antagonist in breadth of hips and in tho size of his thighs. The first fall was Cornish style. During the early portion of the contest things looked favorable for Quinn, but Dwyer's cleverness eventual ly tired Quinn out. They wrestled eight turns. Dwyer won the first fall, in 23 minutes 40 seconds. After a five minutes' rest, the men wro.;tlcd catch-as-catch-can and Dwyer won in seven minutes and 30 seconds, with a half-Kelson and a half-llalsh lock. BOTH LASTED OUT. Everli:ir<!t-IJnly Fight at New Or lemia a Draw. NEW ORLEANS. La., Dec. 2S.— Jack Daly and Jack Everhardt met before the Tulane Avenue Athletic club, with about 1,000 prce ent, for a i>ercentage of the receipts. The match was originally for twenty rounds, but the mayor would not issue a permit for over ten rounds, and charged $r>oo for that. Ever hardt said he trained for twenty rounds, and refused to go on until he secured an agree ment that if both men were on thoir feet at the end of ten rounds the tight wouid be declared a draw. Everhardt tried to make it a rough aud rushing fight from the start, but Daly was clever enough to keep away from punishment. Daly's left was weak, so that there was not much harm done until the seventh, when Daly learned to uso his right, and kept it going on the body. In. the tenth round Daly's right did a rushing busi ness on Everhardt's body, and there waa danger of a knock-out. Then Everhardt clinched and wrestled and saved his skin until time was called and Referee Duffy de clared it a draw. TEST FOR THE CHAINLBSS. Ridden Over the Century Course on Christmas Day. The chainless wheel has at last received a practical test over Minnesota roads and has justified all the good things that have been said of it by manufacturers and dealers. Saturday, Dec. 25, Allan Underwood, of Min neapolis, on a '98 model chainless Columbia bicycle rode over the Northfleld centtfry course in 11 hours 40 minutes. Mr. Under wood lpft Minneapolis atT:3O a. m., was checked at Market house, St. Paul, at 8:25 a. m. ; at Farmington, 10:30 a. in., and Northfield, 12:30 p. m. Drifted snow between Farmington aud Northfield made riding Impossible for long stretches, and in several instances Mr. Un derwood was obliged to walk and carry hia wheel through the heavy drifts. The time made on this century is remarkable, consid ering the t:me of year and condition of the country roads. Mr. Underwood, who is one of the best road riders in the state and an active member of the Century Road Club of America, expects to be rewarded for his long ride on Christmas day with one of those much coveted "meritorious ride" medals which are occasionally awarded by the club in recognition of exceptionally meritorious performances on the wheel. This is the first century ever ridden over the Northfleld course in midwinter. College Cricket. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 28.— The an nual meeting of the Intercollegiate Cricket association was held In Houston hall today. The meeting was called to order with E. Morgan, of Harvard, in the chair. Delegates were present from Pennsylvania. Haverford and Harvard. W. N. Morice, representing Pennsylvania; T. Wister and H. H. Lowry representing Kaverford, and E. Morgan and E. A. Waters, representing Har vard. The report of the committee which had charge of the arrangements for the Canadian match last spring, was read and accepted. Adams, Haverford, received the prize for bowling and Hinehman, Haverford. the prize for batting. A committee of three, consisting of Haughton, Harvard, chairman; Paul, Pennsylvania, and Seattergcod, Haver ford. was appointed to award the prizes for 1897. Money Up. NEW YORK.

Hinnetonka Yacht Club Refuses to Yield at All. Unless the White Bear Yacht club Qualifies Its ultimatum, as submitted to the Minne tonka Yacht club, relative to raciag for the coming season, the series of contests finished last season will in all probability be the last. The Minnetonka Yacht club will have noth ing to do with the so-called "ultimatum," and at the meeting held last evening in the Kasota block decided not to accept the terms. The bone of contention is the cat boat, no such style having been built at Min netonka for years. The White Bear club, however, has a fondness for the kittens, and would sadly part therewith, hence its ulti matum. Ultimatum or no ultimatum, how ever, the Minnetonka Yacht club will train no catboats the coming season. Scant courtesy was shown the White Bear club's communication, it being briefly but unanimously rejected. E. J. Phelps introduced a resolution i ro posing a small boat for championship racea. The boat he proposed will be about the same size as a scvond rater, rot to carry more than 500 square feet of sail. The boat proposed would cost between $400 and $>QO, and would require a crew cf four men. This n solution it was at first decided to refer to the committee on rules, but this ac tion was reconsidered, as the club wishes to have a general expression by its membsrs before taking final action. It is also the pur pose to try and Bceure a thorough expression in regard to the proposed racing class, tor this purpose a meeting will b« held next Tues day evening. GREAT BILLIARDS.

In the brooch is a place for a Dl-Qt graph, and that place is filled with a pr< duction of "Lanky Bob iv his latest Dicture. SPIRITED SQI ABPLE. 111 Feelins Among the Racing; Men nt New York. NEW YORK. Dec 28.— There was a short but lively squabble at Madison Square gar den today that showed the ill feeling left by the result of the Michael-Chase race of last Saturday. Michael and Taylore. the French champion, have been training for their race of next Saturday and this afternoon were out for practice with about twenty pacemak ers each. In the course of the afternoon A. A. Chase and his brother cam« out on a tandem and paced Taylore a few miles. David Shafer, Michael's manager, objected to Chase's presence on the track, and when his remonstrances were not heeded, picked up a bit of scantling and was about to throw it on the track in front of the Chase brothers' tandem when somebody seized his arm and held him. Chase dismounted and got Into an argument with Shafer. Accounts differ of what followed, but all agree that Shafer struck Chase a heavy blow with hl3 fist, and when Chia-se was about to reply in kind by standers stepped in between them. Chase says he will take the matter before the L. A. W. CURLING CLUB SCORES. Results of Last Night's Play on Raspberry Island.

NEW YORK, Dec. 28. — The second round of the Intercollegiate chess tournament was begun today at the Columbia grammar school, when the pairing and the openings wore as follows: Meyer, Columbia, vs. Cook, Yale, French defense; Dana, Pennsylvania, vs. Hewing, Harvard, Petroff; Seward, Columbia, vs. Southard. Harvard, king's mate gambit; Murdoch, Yale, vs. Young. Pennsylvania, French defense. Meyer and Cook had to ad journ their game in an even position after 4C moves. Thia game will be adjudicated upon tomorrow. This was an even contest from beginning to end. Dana and Hewins selected a sort of drawing continuation of their Petroff and the game remained even throughout the opening stage. In the middle game Hewins got an attack, won a piece and after 30 moves the game. Seward select ed a rather weak variation of the king's gambit against Southard. The latter soon got tho better position and after 21 moves Seward resigned. Young beat Murdoch in a French defense after 43 moves. The latter com promised his position in the middle game by an imprudent exchange. Dater on he lost several pawns, finally a rook and then he resigned. Jumping Record. SYRACUSE, N.

The near approach of the first of the year marks unusual activity with the jobbers and manufacturers of the city. Large forces of their employes are engaged in sorting up stock and taking inventory, and the heads of the firms are preparing to handle the largest spring business they have ex perienced for a cumber of years. They all feel highly encouraged over the prospects for next year's business, and feel that the first six months of the year is assured, and, unless there is a total failure of the crop, the year 1898 will mark a new era of prosperity in the history of the Northwest. The improved conditions of all parts of the country, is due, they think, largely to the harvesting of an unusually large crop, and the steady market the farmer has found for his products is caused, they think, by the general restoration of confidence and a. more secure feel ing on the part of bankers. There ia still a large amount of unmarketed wheat in the country, a large portion of which is still in the farmers' barns, and when this is moved in the spring money will he easier, and the most conservative look for as large an in crease for the first six months of next year as there was during the past year over the year 1896. T. L. Schurmeier, of Lindeke, War ner & Schurmeier. said the last year had been a most successful one, he thought, and, when they closed their books on Saturday night, they would show the largest sales in the history of the firm. He thought people were beginning to recognize that St. Paul was the best distributing point in the Northwest, and the jobbing center for much of the Western territory. The high price of wheat had done much towards improving conditions during the last six months. December was usually a dull month with them, but this' year business had -been good up to Christmas, which was very grat ifying. They were looking for a very heavy spring, as already many orders for future shipment had been received. Collections had been good, and mer chants were buying liberally. Charles A. Fuller, of the Crane & Ord way company, reported that they had less delinquent accounts on their books than last year.whlch was a very encoiir aging sign. He though" the farmer had received a good price for all products, and that there had been more grain this year, and a better price paid for it, w*h made money easier. Banks in the country were lending money to farmers this fall, whereas last year it was difficult to get money on any kind of security. December would foot up the largest December they had ever had, pnd the year taken as a whole was very satisfactory. They were anticipating a fair, healthy and clean business for next year, which would open up very soon. C. J. McConvllle, of Finch, Van Slyck, Young & Co., said they were pre paring" for a large spring trade on the Pacific coast as the exodus of the pop ulation from that -part of the country to Klondike would make business brisk for at least the first part of the year. The local conditions were far ahead of last year, and collections never had been better. Farmers had received a good price for their butter and eggs and other products, and had paid their bills and their credit was better with the country merchant. The country was still full of wheat and the high price of the cereal had helped out their collections, in all parts of the North west. F. P. Strong, of Farwell, Ozmun, Kirk & Co., reported their December busi ness 25 per cent better than a corres ponding time last year, their collections had been good and the outlook for next year was very flattering. This year they had experienced no shrinkage in values which had occasioned heavy losses in previous years, and the markets had been especially steady. This year's market had been especially satisfac tory, as there had been little fluctua tion of raw material in their line, and manufactured articles had remained the same. When they wound up the year's business the last of the week, it would be with a very satisfactory showing for the year, and present indications would warrant the prediction that there would be a steady increase in the volume of their business during the year. "We have just made a large shipment of heavy miners' boots and winter's shoes to Skaguay," said C. H. Schliek, of Tarbox, Schliek & Co., yesterday morning 1 . "This is the first shipment we have made direct to Alaska this year, and our spring orders from all parts of the Northwest are coming in nicely." Business, generally speaking, and collections have been better than at any time during the past four years, and the spring trade, I think, will be far ahead of any we have done at that time of the year for a number of years back. Spring orders, so far, are way ahead of last year. The small cities of the Northwest have almost entirely recovered from the effect of the panicky times, and the country is in a much better condition than last -year. John Kelly, of Foley Bros. & Kelly Mercantile company, said* the grocery business had be~n exJceileHt during the year, and the last six months had mark ed an especially bi£- business. They were putting on additional traveling men and were going to cover more ter ritory in IS9B and looked for a big busi ness next year. The; market on staple goods had been very string. Collec tions were better than last year. »> J. W. Griggs, of ariggsi'& Co., said trade had been very -satisfactory with them. The Christmap trape had been better than last year;. and with another good crop next year^ihe people would forget all about harjj'. time,s. The im provement in the tunes had not ad vanced far enough.' to 'affect fancy groceries, but the niarfcet on staples had been firm and the demand had ex ceeded last year's racord. J. W. De Camp, of De Camp & Beyer, said the year had ben a very busy ono with the commission nen. The berry s:a-o-i v as one of the bigest on record, and the fall business h\d b'en go d.

A., 80 Adams street, Chicago. COL RAPIER OUSTED. Mr. Barker Installed itt Powtmaater at Mobile. MOBILE. Ala.. Dec. 28.— Postmaster P. D. Barker was installed before day light th!a morning in office here, after an all night vigil in the postofflce. The inspectors arrived last night and over hauled the accounts of the office and found that they were correct. This morning they took possession and swore in Mr. Barker and the employes on arrival. Two of the employes refus ed to take oath to the new postmaster and were suspended. Col. Rapier, who claims to hold office by virtue of section 3530 of the revised statutes, which law requires that removals before expira tion of term must bo by the advice and consent of the senate, sued out a writ of injunction in the United States cir cuit court. The plea was that Barker was not and is not postmaster, because Rapier has not been legally removed and Barker's name has not been sent to the senate. Rapier asked that Bark er be enjoined from interfering with him in the discharge of his duties as postmaster. Judge Toulmin refused to grant the injunction. Million for Charity.
