Joe Goddard, the "barrier champion,"
was Corbett's next Nemesis. He save
the Californian no rest until Corbett
finally announced that Goddard must
first make for hanxself a reputation.
Corbett sailed around the warships
Jackson, Goddard and Slavin with
their thirteen -inch gruns, and &aye bat
tle to the corvette Charlie Mitchell, a
middleweight. All this time Corbett
had been dodging the issue with Rob
ert Fitzsimmons. "Go and fig-ht Ma
her," was Corbett's rejoinder to Fitz's
offer of battle. And Frtz did as direct
ed. He beat Maher. "Now take on
Creedon; he is in your class," said
Corbett. And Fitz did so and defeated
Creedon. And then was perpetrated
upon the sporting public a travesty
second alone to the one that occurred
in New York Tuesday night Corbett
resorted to every trick possible to
make the public believe that Fitzsim
j mona warn dodging him. And, strange
to say, he had a majority of the best
posted sporting men with him. At
Hot Springs Corbett had the call, and
Fitz was in disgrace. The Carson
gagement showed which was the bet
, ter man. At Little Rock. Ark.. Cor-
I bett was offered a chance to go out
' into the woods and fight it out with
Fitzaimmons, for a made-up purse, but
! he declined. Fitz was willing.
• • *
Just prior to the Sharkey fiasco, Cor
bett was matched to meet McCoy.
Scandal soon attached itself to that
, affair. It was shown that Cort>ett — the
| great Corbett— the world-beater, %\ ith
i a copper — demanded that the purse be
; divided— and that, too. in face of the
i fact that McCoy is little more than a
, middleweight. To an unprejudiced ob
server and student of pugilism, it ia a
; puzzle to understand why Corbett was
: ever rated a great fighter. His glory
, undoubtedly grew out of the van
! quishment of Sullivan. Yet he did not
j defeat the real Sullivan — instead, a
1 shadow of the once invincible gladia
tor, who, as he said at the ringside in
New Orleans, "fought once too often,
forgetting that he had lived 100 years
in 30."
• • •
Corbett's career is ended. Surely he
cannut hepe to again gold-brick the
public. If Sharkey is an innocent vic
tim, he is to be pitied, for he, too, will
be marked as undesirable in future
ring contests. The men who managed
the affair will also come under the
boa. There are .some who have not
lorg t Lavigne vanquished
Walcott in San Francisco, and that
Torn O'Rourke. who handled Tuesday
night's fiasco, also handled Walcott on
that oocaskML Boxing has been given
:; bH w from which it will not soon re
cover. Good often comes out of evil,
however, and. if the lesson of Tues
day night has opened the eyes of the
Cortett srorflUpera to the real call-
Ler of the man, then, perhaps, It ia
well that what happen**! was as It
was. —Willie Green.
SOKRY SPOUTS.
Spent tbe Day in Dlacnsslng the
Boxing Fiasco.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23.— Tb« entire gather
ing of spor.iDg men in this city, and tha
number was ltrge, pptnt today discussing last
night a flg-ht arid the way in which it wound
up. There was much talk as to whrther
or not the ruferee, "Honest" John Kelly had
or liad uirt oxuoed«d his autiiority in c-illing
aU U-ifc uff. boss who bat on Sharkey ftedlng
tbat they fchuuid hav-j received their reward,
but the general reeling among the public
w«a that while It mig'ot ha> e been a technical
usuira.tk'n on Kelo <= part, he probably ddd
it In a dtsJre to i>r»-ect the public, and
thai from (.hat poiut of vKw he was right.
Many at those who suDport boxing contests
were much disturbed a* to the probable efit-ct
ou the a tendance at the future fights here,
and the opinion was freely expressed that it
had r>iK a damper ou t::'j »port lor some
time tv come.
McVoy, whoee entrance into the ring oaueed
the docislon last night, waa a#k«d today if
he oaifd o moke auy etatemen't regarding
I hie lart In the affair. He *a4d: "Corbe't
i wfai fouk-d oiirly in the fight, by Sharkey. ajut
1 wlsh«l to call the referee's attention to
the continued fouls. I ni>proacbed the ropes
for that purpose and succeeded in a
Kelljr'a attention."
Mi'Vey reused to emsw-er any questions as
to whe:h<-r or r. t he kaew that it was against
the rules for him to get in o the ring while
the fight was on.
It Is now known that men in New York.
who had bet:i betting their money on Cor
bett. sent three telegrams Westward. One
WCBt to Seattle, Wash. Another was sent to
San Franvisco, and the third to Portland, Or.
i lia.-n was to a supporter of Corbett, and read:
"Brents changed; hedge your money."
Thousands and thousands of dollars wero
sent to Western elites to be placed on Shar
key. Oorbett was 6een at his home tonight.
He did not look as if ho had been in a bwt-
I tie with one of the heaviest men in th«
I'Ugi'istlc world, as there was not a mark on
him,
"Really, I hardly know what to say about
this affair," he remarked. "No one is so de
pre*Bt*d «s I am at the action of MtWj.
, which lost me the fight. 1 have been half
daffy ever since. Kelly pare the decision
agalust me. CoM chills have been running
up and down my back at the thought that
I 1 had the fljrht won. and then lost It in such
I a manner. Luck haa been all against me of
late, t>u: It is Ix>uij<! to rhaiige."
"I>ut, Jim, many think you, yourself, was
I one of those in the Job, and b«?t on Sharkey,"
. was rnua- -
"Never in my life hare I been accused of
I utter Ignoiuea/' he answered. "People gen-
I eral'y, I believe, liave given me some credit
me intelligence. Now, with a
; spark of intelligence in my brain, do you
think I w mid have so bungled affairs in such
i a way? I think the mer« fact that the action
of McVey appeared so palpable Is evidence
that I was r.o* at the bottom of It. In the
first place, if 1 wanted to be crooked. 1 w uld
inner thhsk of doing go unless I had fixed the
; rffer«e. If there waa anything wrong do you
| think I would hare ru&hed over to Kelly to
tell him to declare all bets off. In fact, the
first oup to y*!l to Kelly to make such a de
! cisioo waa Goorg>e Consldtne. If w» had been
I in any skin game and bet on Shark ev. do
j you think we would warn all bets declared
off'"
"Do you think McVey sold you out?"
"I can't belli ye thai he did. We hare bee»
too close In our relation*. If there had been
any funny business on his part 1 would
certainly hare seen some chaoge In him wh.l%
we were training, l do not aay he did not
•ell me out. but cannot bring myself to
believe he did, tor 1 hava been meet liberal
with r::in."
"It Is alleged that your protestations U>
Ke!ly and your efforts to hit McVey we r%
iMvai, in view of the fact that you have
euoh a nervous. taTitabte disposition, which,
if you had reaJly intended to strike him,
would have resulted la your aiming blows at
ftfcVi f "
"I conducted myself cooly. througftont. 1
did r;ot K's<> my tamper at all. I came Ter>
near hitting McVer. but restrained niyselr.
as I realized it could do no good, as the
harm hart been (lone. I cannot see why No
\>y aot<vd as he did. but there waa somnhir.r
wrong throughout. If he had been bought to
do me. he erideotly realised the time bad
CJtn#. for I had all but bested SUsarkey. Tb%
fight ended co mysteriously that I am stift
in a trance. I would be ashamed rr> trl:
«pm« Deonle -what I reailly do thtuk. If
the people cry fake, I cannot help it. The
fltrht o*m be the beet Jud«e of that I neve*
fought so hard in ray life aa I did agajr.st
Sharkey. K. Hy had no right to declare bets
off. but be did the right thing, and acted
. yet l^e acted only oa mjr appeal to
return the pe^H>'« their money. It se«m»
queer thu he could nor haTe told McVer to
stay out. for h# waa not interfering- wi-h u»
in the least. When Keily aaid "yon lose -
I thought he meant Sharkey."

Pennsylvania and Cornell Ready
for Their Big Game Today.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.— The red
t and blue and the carnelian and white ■
■ will meet in their annual contest on j
j Franklin field tomorrow, but tonight it
j ia hard to say -which of the two teams
i will be offering- thanks when the de
bris is cleared away. They are equal
\ly confident of victory. Capt. Whit
i ing, of Cornell, says of his men:
"They have come down not to score,
but to win, and. if they do .not do It,
it will be because 'Pennsy' has a
, much better team than she ever had
\><-i ,re."
"While "Pennsy" is making no claims
i as to the superior quality of her team, j
her partisans scout the suggestion that '
; the Ithacans will ever score.
Unless the predicted freeze comes
i along in time to harden the gridiron, '
I precalculations may "be knocked In j
; the head. In consequence of the heavy !
rains of laat night and this morning, !
it was next to impossible to cross the i
, field this afternoon without sinking ,
i into mud to the ankles, and, should
this condition exist during the game, !
there will be untold possibilities fur !
fumbles and chance play.*. T^nght !
there is every indication of foul weath- !
er, but it is growing much colder and
may prove to be a fine football day.
The sale of tickets has been great,
and the attendance is sure to run Into }
many thousands. The Pennsylvania
men had to confine their practice to
| day entirely to the cinder track encir
: cling the field. Signals and tacks weri
, gone over, and the men were all in

The Cornell men did not take their

the third round Gorman iardtd ou Ryan's j
head several tlmea, and warmed the welter
weight chamricn up. Gorman was sl.w, but

seventh Gorman was severely punished, and
Ryan had him going when the gong sour.ded.
Gorman seemed quite fresh when tl.e eigiuh j
round opened, but Ryan went at him ham- !

defend himself, when Ryan tent right and I

Gorman fell to the floor. He trU<J to rise

stopped the COOK and his f-eeonds carried

A physician oxacilned him and declared that
one of his ribs was broken. Gorman was
evidently no natch for Ryan, who from the
time he starred the claret from the Brook

GETTING DOWN TO SCHEDULE
Street Car Company Has All Lines
Except One Open.
All of the street oar line* in the city, ex
cept the Com-o interurban, were running on
seme kind of a schedule a: 6 o'clock last
evening. The regular MTftoa was impossible
on some of the lines, but cars were gotten
through with Borne regularity* through-ut the
city along in tie afternoon.
The Merriam Park extension was opsn at
uoon yesterday, and by 2 o'clock the Grove
land park exu-ri.-iuLi of the Grand avenue line
was in operation. Whon the system had been
gotten Into fairly good shape trains were run
as nearly as possible on the schedule on the
most important Met«. but the Maria avenue,
Stryker avenue and Ham'ine oars were run
only on a half-hour service instead of the
regular shorter service. The Hamline line
was not in operation until shortly after 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
It was a;atf-d at the company's lo?al efflee

mm
LOSS OF LIFE IS SMALL
But Two Known Victims, Though
Several Persons Are Unaccounted
For Amonar the Latter Is a
Famous Race Track Judge, J. J.
Carter An Alaska Merchant
Drops Dead From Fright.
SAN FRAXCISCO, Nov. 23.— The
Baldwin hotel, for almost thirty years '
one of the principal land marks of San
Fran-Cisco, is no more. A fire which
broke out in the east end of the build
ing*, shortly after 3 o'clock this morn
ing, supposedly in the property room of
the Baldwin theater, totally destroy
ed the immense structure, entailing a
financial loas of n«_rly J1, 500,000, be-
Rid€B <iestroyin« property that no
amount of money or science can re
place.
The kws of life, so far as reported,
has been miraculously Hg_t. but two
deaths having occurred as far as
known. The loss of dead. Injured and
mi__rng. as far as known is as follows:
Dead:
CAPTAIN J. L. WHITE. San Francisco
capitalist.
LEWIS MYERS. Skagway, Alaska, merch
ant.
Injured:
F. P. Noon, St. Louis, Mo., both ankles
broken.
George Hilber, San Francisco, cut about
body.
Miss Bridget Mitchell, San Francisco badly
bruised.
Fire Marshall Towe, San Francisco cut
about the head.
Misaing:
J. M. Lelghead. San Francisco, pureer
steamer. City of Sydney.
F. Weaiherb«e and wlte, Haverhill, Mass.
Tate Pryor, of St. Louis.
F. B. Andrews, cashier cafe.
Frtd V.'ebeter.
Two chambermaids.
John J. Carter, race track judge.
Thomas Berkey and wife, assessor, Sacra
mento county, Cal.
FINANCIAL LOSSES.
The financial losses are very far
reaehdrs, almost eveiy branch of com
rru.Tcial trade beinjr ddrcotly affected.
The ground floor of the hotel wa? di
vided into a number of large stores,
and few of their oceu.pajvts saved
anything worth mentioning, the ma
jority reporting total losses. Two of
the most haxideome cafes In the city
were gutted, and the stocks d. -strayed.
The Baldwin theater, the fashttu-n.a'ble
amiMnffitw r.Laoe of the city, waa to
tally destroyed wiih the rest of the
building, and the "Secret Service"
oomrany lest all of its paraphernalia
and accoutrements. Many of the mem
bers of the cornipany lost meet o° their
belongings, and trunks containing th.?
official papers of the company were de
stroyed.
GUESTS PANIC STRICKEN.
There were upwards of 200 guests in
the iK-tel when the fire was discovered
and the scene which followed beg-gars
description. The watchmen, bell boys
and other hotel employes worked nobly
in arousing sleeping residents. It is
liflieved that every person im the
building was appraised of the danger
within ten minutes after the fire b k •
out. but rumors are i if- that many of
th'^e in the ea>*t wing, where the
flames were discovered, wire cut «>ff
from escape and h.st. How true th j s9
rumors are cannot be told for several
days yet, as many parts of the building
have collapsed, lunying a.ny who may
have bet-n left in the building under the
debris.
Capt. J. L. White, who occupied a
room on the fourth floor, was killed
while trying to escape by means of a
icj« which dangled from the fifth floor,
almost to the street below. Thy; rope
had previously done good service, be
in^ the means by which five persons
escaped from the burning building:. The
story of the rope is a thrilling one. For
tight years Kate Richardson has been
en employe of the hotel, occupying a
room on the fifth floor. Five years ago
Miss Richardson, as a prec.au tk> nary
measure for juen. suc-h an emergency,
procured a lengthy rop» long enough to
reacih from her room to the street.
Wfeeo the alarm was given Miss Rich
ardson, with th« assistance of Gussie
Johnson, a oompa-nion, secured the rope
to a piece of heavy furniture and threw
the free end out of the window. The
two girls were about to miaJte the de
scent to the pavemem when three lady
guests rushed irrto the room and begged
tc be saved. The two brave girls gave
precedence to the guests, and then Miss
Johnson took her p is.it ion on the rope
and went down hand over hand. Miss
Richardson was the last to leave, and
she had gone down but one story when
Cept. White, who occupied a nx>m on
that flo. iv, called to her appt-alingly,
begging her not to jump. Miss Richard
son stopped and begged the captain to
tnke her place on the rope. This he
refused to do, and only after dint of
mveh persuasion could he induce Mise
Richardson to save herse:*, promising
to CoDow in her wake. Miss Richard
s<.kn rveched the giuund in safety, and
(V.pt. White had launched himself in
the a.ir when, suddenly, the i-ope broke,
and he fe'.l to the ground below, a dis
tance of nearly 100 feet. The rope,
weakened by the intense strain to
which it had Wen subjected and worn
by contact with window sills which had
btcome intf-rwsHy hot, could not with
stand the strain of Capt. White's
weight and broke. The other known
death was that of Incuts Myers, a mtr
chsn< of SkAguay, Al—ska, v/ko was in
thus city on business connected with
his Alaska store. Mr. Myers, who was
sixty -eig-iw years of age. had been
safely rescued, f>ut the shock had been
so great that his heart, weakened by
frirht and oikl age. could not stand the
strain, and he died.
SUMMING UP LOSSES.
The most sanguine hopes are express
f-d that the loss of life wifl not be add
ed to, but the indications are that, the
death roil must increase. The police de
partment is busy computing a l'st of
the guests and checking them off as
fast as they are reported safe. Man
ager Lake, of the hate!, f-els certain
tba-t all of the employes have i>een
etved, though two chambermaids are

QUINCT, 111.. Nov. 23.— The powder
mill at Lamotte, Mo., eighty miles
south of here, blew up at 7:55 a. m.,
killing six men and wounding several
others. The names of th« dead fol
low :
WILLIAM WILSON, foreman and son o£
the manager, living at Ashburn.
ALFRED WEXZEL
ALBERT MILLER, HannlbaL
D. M. SMITH, Louisiana.
WILLIAM CHARLESTON, Ashburn.
JACK HOLLINGttR, Ashburn.
The explosion took place in the pack
ing house, and was so terrific as to be
heard and felt a distance of twen
ty-five miles.
Telegraph reports from PittsfleM,
New Canton. Bayless. Winchester,
Kinderhook and all over Pike county,
Illinois, are to the effect that the ex
plosion was plainly felt in those places.
Until the truth was known the inhab
itants thought it was an earthquake.
At New Canton windows were broken,
and everywhere buildings were shaken.
The exact cause of the explosion will
never b« known, as all the men in
the packing house at the time were
Mown to atoms. Something like 10.000
pounds of powder was usually kept
in the packing house, which was &
frame structure.
During the day men were engaged
with buckets in gathering up Buch bits
of flesh and bones as iney could find.
A piece of spinal coiumn was found
half a mile from the scene of the ex
nloslon. Those who were injured were
employed in another building. They
were struck by flying debris, but none
of them fatally lnjur-d.
Th«*re is always some loose powder
on the floor of the packing room, and
it is supposed that something was
dropped upon it that caused It to ex
plode.

MANILA. Nov. 23— Paymaster W. B.
TVUeox and Naval Cadet L. R. Sargent,
of the United States monitor Moavad

Viteke' tour of the Interior. They were
well received ev^ry\vh€-ie. Traveling,
however, was most difficult. They
crossed the provinces of Pan.gaena aad

the mountains. The scenery w&» mag
nifictwt, but the r.>ad» were execraible.
The officers nexit v;t;t»d the watershed
Of the Rio Grande and Cazayan. They
say its fertility is marvelo-ura. Not a
yard of barren land was seen. The
t<'*Tß were qul<Et a.nd pioeperous, the
plairs Were highly cult I vat Hi and the
mountains were splendidly timbered.
The rivers were mostly without bridges
a«nd are almost imna»«>a, ; S)le during tha
rainy season. A pacK h..r.-e was drown
ed and the travelers had eeveral nar

Tha native authorities refused to per

who was supposed to have committed
suicide by hang-in* at Berkley laat

her father with murder, and naming

for her death. Neither Brands nor
his wife was taken to the Inquest aa
there was talk of lynching, and it
was thought best to keep them safely
