r NEW YORK, Dec. 29.— Dan Stuart,
tvho managed the Fitzsimmons-Maher
•and Fitzfiimmons-Corbett bouts suc
cessfully, said today that he would
fleave for the West next week and hop-
W that he would secure the signatures
of both Fitzsimmons and Corbett tc»ar
ticles of agreement for a ring contest
Which he proposes to bring off next
Bummer, probably in the state of Ne
vada. He said that as matters stand
now he does not anticipate any trouble
1 in getting Corbett to sign, and he is
equally hopeful of gaining the consent
of Fltzsimmons to meet the big Califor
nlan in the ring once more.' Just what
the amount of the purse which he
would offer would be, Mr. Stuart re
fused to say.
Mr. Stuart would like to have the
contest take place not earlier than
next July, and said that he would like
to arrange a meeting between Kid Mc-
Coy and Choynski or some other good
middleweight to take place in the same
iveek as the Corbett-Fitzsimmons con
test. If he can succeed in making ar
rangements for both contests, Stuart
said he would offer excellent Induce
ments for the winners of both these
bouts to meet six months' later, so
that in the event of McCoy and Fitz-
Simmons winning they could settle their
differences as to their respective prow
ess within the year of 1898. Mr. Stuart
expects to be in Chicago by the latter
end of next week, and said it would be
no fault of his if the big fellows did
not come to an agreement.
William A. Brady, manager of James
J. Corbett, tonight sent to the Asso
ciated Press the following challenge to
Robert Fitzsimmons, champion pugilist
of the world:
James J. Corbett, dissatisfied with the re
sult of his; late contest with you at Oar
son City, and not believing that you are his
superior cither aa; a boxer or a fighter and
■being of the opinion that the majority of the
American public shares his belief that he
can defeat you, if ever you are man enough
1 to grant him a return battle on equal condi
tions has deposited to-day $2,500 aa a first
deposit to bind a match for $10,000 a side, the
person or pel-sons offering tho largest indue!e
ments to have the management of the con
test. As you have said today that your
wife has; withdrawn her objections to you
again entering the ring, there Is no reason
■why the arrangement should not be speedily
consummatpd; for you in my presence at Car
eon City gave Corbett your word of honor that
if you ever entered the ring again, you would
give h!m first chance. It Is useless for you
to attempt to deceive the public and try
to boom your private Interests by attempting

CINCINNATI, 0., Dec. 29.— James J.
Corbett, who is spending the holiday

lenge to Fitzsimmons. Corbett says
when Fitzsimmons announced his re
tirement he did not feel at liberty to
challenge him. Now that Fitzsimmons
has announced that he is still In the
ring, the challenge will be prepared
within a day or two.

HARVARD LEADS.
CriniM. .i Holds tho Advantage in
the Cheat* Match.
NEW YORK. Dec. 29.— The pairing in the
third round of the Intercollegia'e chess turna
ment, which was begun at the Columbia
grammar school, in this city today, was as
follows: Meyer, Columbia, vs. Dana, Prince
ton; Cook, Yale, vs. Hewins, Harvard: Sew
ard, Columbia, vs. Murdoch, Yale; Young,
Princeton, vs. Southard, Harvard. Meyer
succeeded In breaking up his adversary's po
sition In good style and won In a finely placed
game, after forty-seven moves. The game
played on the spcond bcaid remained even for
a great number of moves and it came to s\
end game in which Blac-k seemed to have a
slight advantage. This proved not to be
good enough to win and so the players agread
to draw after forty-seven moves. In the
third game Seward managed to win the queen
for rook and bishop but later on in the game
h» practically lost this material advantage.
Young played a fine defenss against Southard,
holding hi 3 own very well in the opening ana
part of the middle game. Then, however, he
ventured upon a combination, which would
have lost him a piece. He did not turn up
for evening's play and so Southard was de
clared the winner after twenty-nine moves.
The game left unfinished yesterday, between
Meyer and Cook was adjudicated a draw to
day. Following Is the record of the tourna
ment :

U.S.GOfISTDEFEIiSES
LIEUT. W. T. JOHNSON, WHO HAS
FINISHED A DETAIL AT^THE
TORPEDO SCHOOL,
TELLS WHAT IS BEING DONE.
NEW YORK HARBOR IS FILLED
WITH TORPEDO MINES AS
PROTECTION.
FOREIGN SHIPS COULDN'T GET IN.
Activity In tho Navy tor Three
Months— A New Disappearing
God.
"In less than a week's time with our
present system of torpedo defense we
could close New Tork harbor so that it
would be impossible for a foreign vessel
to get within twenty-five miles of
Greater New York, without being
blown beyond the ocean deep," said
Lieut. W. T. Johnson yesterday after
noon to aGI o b c reporter at the Mer
chants' hotel. Lieut. Johnson has just
finished a year's detail at the govern
ment torpedo school at TVillett's point
in New York harbor, and is one of the
twelve officers who were selected last
year by the war department to be in
structed in the manipulation of the tor
pedo mines which the government has
recently established in many of the At
lantic coast harbors. He is on his way
to Fort Assinaboinc, where he will join
; his regiment, the Tenth cavalry.
"The government spent $10,000,000
last year," continued Lieut. Johnson,
"and nearly as much the year before
and, although the work of improving
our harbors is necessarily slow, it has
been gradually reaching perfection,
and I do not think our torpedo sys
tem is equalled by any in the world.
All this talk about a foreign power
being able to shell New York city, be
fore the war department would be
able to do anything, is bosh. The de-
I tails of^he mines are necessarily se
cret, but our harbor defense is much
better than many people suppose. The
mines in a number of the big harbors
are already in the water. They can
be located in very short notice. They
are exploded by electricity, so that our
vessels could pass out in safety, ana
no foreign ship could possible enter.
All nations have torpedo destroying
boats, but the government had well .
provided against this. They have sit
uated in the harbor of New York and
other places, where the mines have
been located, batteries, which cover
these mines, with 100-ton guns. Tender
the circumstances, it would be next to
impossible for a single ship or or any
number of them to get within firing
distance of New York. One of these
battery posts is situated out in the
ocean twenty mll'B. and covers any
thing in sight with its huge guns
There has been considerable activity |
In the navy for three months past, and
on short notice- the United States
would be on war footing. For the past
month the navy has been in fighting
order, although they had not a war
supply of ammunition, up to a very
short tirno aso. A contract was let
last month for a large supply. The
contract has a six months clause and
a proviso that in case the ammunition
was needed it would be ready for de
livery at the navy yards on short no
t-icc
"A recent acquisition to the ordnance
department is what is known as the
Bufflngton-Cosier, disappearing gun. It
is the invention of an army officer, and
several of them have been made in the
East The first one was tried just be
fore I left, at Sandy Hook, and found
to be satisfactory. The gun Is hidden
behind the concrete formation of the
forts and is there loaded. When ready
for firing it is raised to a point indi
cated by the man who takes the aim
through a separate apparatus. The
recoil of the gun upon discharge sends
It backwards to its position behind the
breast-works. It is quite remarkable
how this heavy gun will slip back
easily into its place. Under this ar
rangement the gun stands little chance
of injury, only during the few minutes
it is exposed for firing.
"The United i\ ates government has
not been asleep, as many people sup
pose, as to the needs of an adequate
coast defnese. Congress has not been
urmindful of the fact that we have
seme of the strongest positions in the
world which with little improvement
would be proof against the attacks of
an enemy. New Yorkers have no doubt
had something to do with the large ap
propriations which congress has made
during the last two years for this pur
rose Congress has been asked for $13,
--000 000 by the war department for coast
defense this year and they wiU proba
bly get $10,000,000, which is all they
could conveniently use with thfeir pre-
St "The question of the United States
manufacturing its own armor plate
will come up before next congress, but
it is not probable that they will do any
thing along this line, as they have not
wcrk enough to keep a plant going, as
two warships a year is about what we
have averaged during late years, and
the armor plate for two ships would
not begin to keep one of those big
foundries busy. It seems to me much
more advantageous for theUnlted States
to purchase their plate from private
concerns as the labor in this line is
very expensive and they get the ar
mor plate at a very reasonable figure.
In case of war all the officers in the
country who have served a detail at
the Willetfs point school would b- sent
East to engage in harbor maneuvers.

SEALING BILL, SIGNED.
President Approves tbe Measure
Passed by Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.— Ex-Secretary
Foster had a brief conference with the presi
dent today, after which the president ap
proved the bill "prohibiting the killing of
fur seals in the waters of the North Pacific
ocean," passed the day congress adjourned
for tho holidays. The act prohibits the kill
ing of sgals by American citizens, except
as they may be taken on the Pribyloff islands
by the North American Commercial company.
It also prohibits the importation of sealskins
into the United States, whether "raw. dressed,
dyed or manufactured." The penalty for vio
lation of the law is a fine of not less than
$2CO or more than $2 000. or imprisonment
for not more than six months, or both, for
each offense, including the forfeiture to the
United States of the vessel, its tackle and
cargo.

BEAT BY SCALPERS
AW OREGON COUPLE HELD UP ON
THEIR WEDDING
TRIP.
i 3 A
BROKERS PLUGnTHf TICKETS.
MR. AXD MRS. U. 1,. HIDDEN, OP
PORTLAND, ARE tfpE VIC-
TICKETS EXPIRED V EARS AGO.
They Were tbe Return Portions of
TonristM Tickets * Sold During
the World's Fair.
Near the top of the register page at
the Ryan hotel yesterday appeared tho
apparently simple line "R. L. Hiddon
and wife, Portland, Or." Near the bot
tom of the day's page at the -Sherman
house there was written late yesterday
afternoon precisely the same line, In a
slightly smaller and more subdued
hand. Between the Ryan and the
Sherman house lay the property plot
for a rather pathetic drama, the acts
in which are presented by a leading
man, a heroine, a villian and the usual
kind hearted p«rson who straightens
out all the trouble. They are also a
number of other drajnatis personae who
have few lines and are mostly given
to "thinking parts."
Mr. and Mrs. Hidden play the lead
ing roles. They have only been Mr.
and Mrs. Hidden for two weeks — but
that's another story. He is a tall, good
looking young man, the son of Jackson
Hidden, a wealthy fruit grower living
near Vancouver, B. C. From childhood
the son showed a penchant for music,
and is at present the director of the
orchestra at the Marquam theater In
Portland. He has for some time and
still takes part in the prominent musi
cal events which occur in the coast
city.
At one of these some time ago, he
met, was introduced to and fell In love
with a bright, pretty girl with soft
eyes, beautiful figure and fascinating
manner. In due course they were mar
ried, and a host of their friends gather
ed at the station to throw rice and old
shoes after them, and festoon their sec
tion in the sleeper with white satin
ribbons.
This was some tw.o weelis ago. Yes
terday morning they alighted from the
Burlington train, and were driven to
the Ryan, where they were registered,
as stated above, and during the morn
ing the gallant groom repaired to the
city ticket office of the Northern Pa
cific to have his tickets properly
stamped for the return trip. As he
entered the place, his thoughts were
full of how liis old friends in the West
would welcome back his charming
bride, and he felt that his orchestra
muse perforce play better under his
baton, now that he was wedded and
supremely happy.
Pulling out his tickets, he handed
them to Oscar Vanderbilt, the North
ern Pacific city ticket agents "who,
glancing at first the front and then
the rear side of the ticket, saw that
the purchasers' signatures. C. "W. Cul
ver and Katherine Culver, appearing
In the contract, did not look a bit like
the same names signed on the back
of the tickets. Closer examination
showed to Mr. Vanderbilt's practiced
eye that the tickets were the return
portion of two tourist tickets sold dur
ing the world's fair from Tacoma to
St. Paul and return. The familiar
signature of G. G. Chandler, formerly
general agent of the Northern Pacific,
but who died three years ago, left no
longer any doubt that the tickets were
absolutely worthless, although they
appeared from the dates to be good
until Feb. 4, 1898. Inspection revealed
however, that the expiration year date,
1894, where punched, had been deftly
plugged and colored, and 1898 punched
in its stead. Moreover, the dates' and
signatures at the foot of the costract
had ben tampered with, erased, chang
ed, and in some cases only traced over
with heavy black ink to cover any dif
ference in the appearance of inks used.
It was a clever yet dangerous trick, and
was perpetrated upon the unsuspecting groom,
according to his tale fo" Mr.' Vanderbilt, by
ticket brokers on South Clark stret. Chi
cago. Had Mr. Hiddeo presented them at
the union depot office at a, time when the
ticket men were busy he might possibly have
had them properly startiped/'and have gone
his way uninterrupted. 1 Ij He 'might have had
trouble with some of the conductors, for
neither of the punched descriptions upon
the tickets corresponds, to that of himself or
his wife.
Although the tickets read 'St Paul to Ta
coma, the brokers had Indorsed In Ink. across
the front, Chicago to TacAma, and after
persuading Mr. Hidden^ .to pairt with $76 told
him the fare from Tacpma 40 Portland was
$7 or $14, for two which, adaed to $76, would
make $£0. It was explained to the young
benedict that the rate 1 frdm St. Paul to
Tacoma waa $61.50, or for two, $123. The
chance to save the difference) was too allur
ing, and the $90 was forthcoming, and the
tickets handed over to the young people, who
left Chicago on the Burlfngton train at 6:30
Tuesday night, arriving here yesterday morn-
Ing as stated.
Vanderbilt was hot. He asked the name
of the broker and Hidden fished two card 3,
one of which had upon It a guarantee for the
return of the money In case of trouble. Van
derbilt refused to confiscate the tlcketa, but
warned the traveler that he could not use
them on the Northern Pacific train. What
were the young people to do? They had not
sufficient funds to buy two new tickets to
tho coast, and tho railroad man's statement
that the broker could be made to disgorge
filled the young man with a r!ght«*ous desire
to force the issue. Vanderbilt wired Immed
iately to Mr. Fogarty. the N. P. agent at Chi
cago, and also to Mr. Hidden Sr., ad vising
him of his son's nreflicament.
Mr. Hidden decided he would wait over,
and promising to return, got his wife oil
registered for the night at the SVr'.ian ttmue.
Soon word" came from Fogirty that the bro
kers had been seen and Intimated that Clar
ence Corbett. a local broker, might be seen
to advantage, but the latter dr-rrri 1 any
knowledge of the affair. After waiUn<; pa
tiently for some time for word from Chicago
or the parent on the coast. Mr. Hidden de

nant that brokers should have j>lacei him In
such an embarrassing position, the railroad
peoiplo are wroth at the barefaced attempt to
sell scalp tickets and 1594 tickets at that,
and the St. Paul brokers are exercised that
one of their craft. should have broight odium
upon the profession by forging and other
wise doctoring dead r.iAeU, and there you
are.
The railroad people are the maddest of
all. They report a similar case which came
to the Great Northern folks a day or two
ago when a reduced rate G. A. R. return por
tion of a ticket reading from Dulutii to Unite
was offered for stamping. It was promptly
taken up, and Is held for evidence against
poire scalawag broker.

ENGLISH ItECH'ROCITY.
Nesotlntlotn Looking- to That End
Are Now Proceeding.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.— Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
has about recovered from a long and
painful attack of rheumatism, which
has kept him in bed for a good part
of the last three months. The fact
that he was able to call at the state
department yesterday led to reports
that, coincident with Lord Salisbury's
declination of the proposition to stop
pelagic sealing, Sir Julian had renewed
reciprocity negotiations. His call, how
ever, had no such significance, as Sir
Julian did not know of Lord Salisbury's
answer at the time he visited the state
department.
As to the reciprocity negotiations,
they have progressed steadily through
Mr. Adam, first secretary of the em
bassy, and Sir Julian will now be able
to give the matter personal attention.
The main desire of the British West
Indies colonies is to secure the 20 per
cent reciprocity reduction on sugar.
What will be offered in exchange has
not yet been determined. At the out
set the purpose of the negotiations was
confined ' to the British West Indies,
but the present indications are that
efforts wilf be made to include Canada
among the colonies receiving the ad
vantage of reciprocity. How far this
can be done In view of the failure of
the Bering sea negotiations, is not
clear, but it Is probable that the Brit
ish government will prefer to have the
negotiations embrace all the colonies,
including Canada, instead of repealing
the action when the last reciprocity
treaties were framed, of confining them
to the West Indian possessions.
In this connection, it may be stated
that Mr. Kasson, the special plenipoten
tiary commissioner of the United
States, charged with the conduct of the
negotiations of the reciprocity arrange
ments and treaties under the tariff
act, has not undertaken to consider the
subject of reciprocity with Canada.
This absentation on the part of Mr.
Kasscn is attribu'able to the facts that
the subject of reciprocity, pure and
simple, as described in the tariff act,
has become so involved with the seal
question and other issues as to become
practically inseparable from th:m, an.l
so the entire subject of Canadian re
lations appears to remain in the c.ntrol
of ex-Secretary Foster. ■
It has bpen expected that the recov
rry of Sir Julian Pauncefote would per
mit active steps on the British-Ameri
can treaty of arbitration. There .is r.o
present prospect, however, that any
thing will be done On that si.bj.ct, and

up to this time no negotiations
have been opened between the
ambassador and the state de
partment. Both governments have
signified a favorable attitude toward
reopening negotiations, but the Brit
ish government will take no step what
ever until a definite assurance is at
hand that such treaty as may be ne
gotiated will become effective by the
ratification of the senate.
It is said that the answer of Lord
Salisbury on the Bering sea question,
which has been briefly reported by ca
ble, adds no new phase to the case, as
this declination was foreshadowed with
certainty by the answer of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian premier, declin
ing to stop pelagic sealing. The ac
tion of Lord Salisbury merely adds the
imperial and official sanction to this
declination of the Canadian authoritl b.
As the Russo-Japan-American treaty,
made several weeks ago for the stop
page of pelagic sealing, was conditioned
on the concurrence of Great Britain In
a similar measure to stop p?laglc seal
ing, It presumed that the effect of Great
Britain's action will be to nullify this
treaty.
ARCHIIISIIOP Will. WIN.
Opinion Will Soon Be Rendered In
the Railroad Land Cane.
"WASHINGTON, Dec. 29 —It is under
stood around the general land office to
day that Commissioner Hermann has
made a decision in the case of Arch
bishop Ireland, who claims the right
to enter large tracts of land In Big
Stone and Traverse counties, Minne
sota. The matter, it will be remem
bered, went up from the local land
offices at Marshall and St. Cloud. The
Marshall office rejected the claims of
Ireland on the ground that the Mani
toba Railroad company, with which he
made a contract for portions of the
tract, had not complied with the re
quirements of the law in securing the
grant. No disposition, however, was
made of the lauds.
The St. Cloud office rejected all
claims under the homestead and pre
emption act, and awarded parts of the
land to Ireland, and parts to indemni
ty settlers under an act of congress
passed in 1887.
It is understood that Commissioner
Hermann will hold that the title to all
the lands in controversy are now in
the United States, having reverted by
lapse and limitation statutes and rules
of the land office.
This being the case, the groat ques
tion which Mr. Hermann will decide
is, who has the prior claim to entry—
the settlers, or, more properly speaking,
the squatters, who took possession
without any formalities; Archbishop
Ireland, who holds the agreement from
the St. Paul. Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railroad company: or settlers who
claim that they stand in the same posi
tion as Ireland, whom they say for
feited his rights to the lands when he

entered Into a contract of sale with
them to dispose of the tracts.
It is said that investigations in th«
land office hay» shown that upon the
whole tract claimed by Ireland there
are not any bona Bde settlers located.
But there aro several who are occupy
ing the land, and the only title they
have is the ron tract or agreement
with the archbishop. This put a ne\r
light on the Iksih-s Involved, and roally
proves that Ireland's interest and
those of the settlors who are acting
In good faith are in the same direc
tion.
r l*his being the condition of affairs,
and it beliip clearly proved at the hear
ings that Ireland's intentions In casa
his application to entry Is sustained,
are to fulfill every agreement with the
settlers with whom he mailo contract
some years ago, it is hinted pretty
strongly today that Commissioner
Hermann will so find in all Instances
where it is shown that the lands In
question have been occupied In j?ood
faith, under the Ireland agiwmonts.
The real opposition to Ireland's
claims, it has developed, oomes from
parties who hope to make a !>li< thing
by having th<? opinion of the Marshall
land office sustained so that thousands
of acres of valuable land will be open
to original entry, aft^r many Improve
ments have been made.
