W\ TILL SEPTEMBER
BATTLE BETWEEN JIM CORIIETT
.V\i> CHAMPION JKFIUIKS NOT
FIXED FOR JINi:
JEFFRIES HAS A BAD ARM
That Is the Bxeau for Deferring;
the Me«*tfiiß Nearly One Year—
Says (orbolt Will (Jive Him More
Trouble Than Did FitzMimmon*
or Sharkey — Erne and O'Brien
Battle Will Occur Doc. 4.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.— The battle be
tween Jeffries and Corbett will not be
decided before next September. This por
tion of the details of the fight was prac
tically agreed upon by Manager Brady
and his big protege. Brady, in speak
ing about the battle, said that he
■would have signed the articles of agree
ment and also named a date for the
contest to be decided when he and Cor
bet clinched the match, but as Jeffries
injured his arm in his fight with Sharkey
he consequently thought he would have
a talk with Jeffries first.
As Corbett and Brady agreed to meet
again for the puipose of signing the ar
ticles, also naming a definite date for
the battle, there is every indication that
all the arrangements for this battle will
be clinched satisfactorily.
"I really don't think the fight will be
fought any earlier than next September,"
paid Jeffries. "This long delay is caused
by the severe injury to my left arm which
I received in my fight with Sharkey. You
see I can't bend my fingers down to my
shoulder, as 1 can with my right arm and
elbow. In my fight with Sharkey I hurt
my arm in the first few rounds of the
battle, and I was unable to do any execu
tion with my left throughout the fight.
"Now. in regard to the opinion which
some persons have that Corbett will be
the easiest mark which I have had in
some time, let me just say that Corbett
will give me a more troublesome and
harder battle than any fighter has yet
given me, not even barring Fitzsimmons
and Sharkey. Corbett is a remarkably
clever man. a good ring general and ex
tremely lively on his feet. Sharkey, I
think, is an easier man for me to beat
than Corbett My reason for saying thia
is not for the purpose of underrating
Phnrk^y •■? a puiri!!*t— for he is a wonder- {
fill fighter—but just because I have fought
him twice and know his style thoroughly.
DATE IS FIXED.
James J. Jeffries and James J. Corbett
were this afternoon matched to fight a
twenty-five round go to a fini.sh. if the !
law permits, on or about Sept. 15 next. \
The right will be under the Queensberry
rules.
THINKS CORBETT SINCERE.
Referee George Slier is one of the fistic
critics who believe Corbett is sincere in
Ms desire to fight Jeffries. Of course
Siler does not presume to say. the ex
champion will be successful, or even pre
dict that re.sult, for that matter, but he !
does think Corbett is in earnest. "Now i
Corbett has not been drinking anything
to speak of or dissipating the way many
defeated champions do," said the veteran,
"and it is not unnatural for him to think
he has a chance against Jeffries. He al
ways thought he could defeat Fitzsim
mons in a second meeting, or at least pro
cessed to think so. and Fitz still clamors
for a chance at his conqueror." Among
most followers of fistic form Corbett is
not considered to have much chance
:ist the champion. The latter has de
feated both Sharkey and Fitzsimmons,
both of whom had previous victories over
Corbett. Now, unless Jeffries goes back,
Corbett would not appear to have much
chance under those conditions, but he evi
dently thinks th~ chances worth trying,
with the loser's end in sight. On t 1 s other
hand, it would not surprise many were
the battle never fought.
ERNE AND O'BRIEN.
All details have been, arranged for the
battle between Jack O'Brien and Frank
Erne for the lighweight championship,
scheduled to take place at the Coney
Island Sporting club Dec. 4. Both man
agers of the principals objected to George
Siler as referee, but O'Brien, who has a
high opinion of Siler as referee, insisted
upon the Western man acting- in that ca
pacity. John T. Dougherty, manager of
o'Urien, finally consented to this, and
said that he did not anticipate any trou

Locally little la known about the re
port from Chicago to the effect that Man
ager Comlakey will compete In Chicago
with the National league as manager of
a club In the old Western league as re
christened the American i'eague.
Patrick H. Comiskey, his brother, and
treasurer of the St. Paul club, stated yes
terday that he had not been advised that
the Chicago report was true, although
mall advices confirmed the report that
I.oftus had Joined the Hart forces, which,
he said, was a surprise to Charles Comis
key, so far as he knew. He had been
negotiating with E. B. Smith of this city
for the sale of the St. Paul franchise,
but no decision had been reached as yet.
Mr. Smith was quoted last night as
saying: "I can't very well see how Cora
iskey can abandon this field, except at a
considerable sacrifice. He is holding a
lease on the ball park from me, and this
dees not expire until 1901. It is possible
the manager may think he can better af
ford to g) to Chicago and lose the amount
of the lease than remain In St. Paul' and
take chances of another season. I con
sider St. Paul a good ball town today,
but a poor ball club won't receive pat
ronage. In that regard St. Paul is no
different from any other town. So long
as the standard was maintained, and tlie
local club had a reasonable chance for
taking the pennant, the attendance was
geed; but, when the club began to run
down, the patronage went with it. Comis
key has said something about having a
ball grounds nearer town, thereby insinu
ating that the small attendances were due
to the location of the present grounds.
"There is not a thing to such an argu
ment. St. Paui 1 has one of the best ball
grounds in the country, both as to the
grounds themselves and the location, and
I bar none. Lexington park is as acces
sible as most grounds, and more accessi
ble than several of them. Mr. Comiskey
knows well that if the grounds were
brought closer into town, that, by so
doing, he would cut off Sunday games,
and deprive the management of one of
the largest sources of revenue.
"There is no reason why St. Paul
should not have a club, and a good one,
and I hope the matter will be taken up
by our public-spirited citizens.
"I was asked if I would purchase the
franchise. 1 told Patrick Comiskey that
I was too o!d a man to assume the cares
and responsibilities of running a club.
I asked him for a figure, and, after con
sulting with his brother, he came back
and named the price- $12,000. I think five
or six thousand dollars would be nearer
a correct estimate of the value of the
franchise. If Comiskey does not care to
remain here I think parties can be found
in this city who would be willing to try
their hand at running a ball club here.
"It is important that St. Paul should
have a good ball club. The Interests of
the city demand it. A town that allows
its sport to run down, ioon runs down
itself. 1 am willing to aid the new man
agement to the extent of my ability."
NEW WEiSTERN LEAGUE.
A Number of Towns Are Planning
for Next Year.
SIOUX CITY, Jo., Nov. 21.— Ample
backing was secured In Sioux City today
by Thomas J. Hickey, of St. Joseph, Mo.,
president of the Western Base Ball as
sociation, for a team, and professional
base ball will be played here next sum
mer. As at present contemplated, the
new association will consist of the follow
ing teams: Sioux City, Omaha, Lincoln,
Dcs Moines, St. Joseph, Topeka, Denver
and either Cedar Rapids or Cripple Creek.
From all of the first-named cities have
come definite assurances that franchises
in the association will be taken. The
eighth club of the association will be de
termined upon at a meeting of represent
"atives from each of the seven cities to
be held in Omaha next week. Cripple
Creek stands a much better chance of
getting in than Cedar Rapids. It is seven
years since the "cornhuskers" of Sioux
City won the pennant m the Western
league.

"Little Chocolate" Has Evidently
Gone Backwards.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.— George Dixon,
the featherweight champion, got the de
cision over • Eddie Lenny, of Philadel
phia, tonight after fighting twenty-five
rounds before the New Broadway Ath
letic club. Dixon at times looked like his
old self, but during the majority of the
rounds, while he always held Lenny
safely, it was only too evident that the
champion had gone backwards. If to
night's bout brought out his best points,
it is pretty nearly a certainty that Terry
McGovern will wrest the featherweight
championship from the dusky boy who
has held it for so many years.

TO DISREGARD THE LAW.
Northern Pacific Issue* un Order
Not to L'»e War Stamps.
The Northern Pacific will make a teat
of the revenue law requiring the affixing
of 10-cent stamps on all export bills of
lading. On all export freight this 10-cent
stamp tax is required, and the business
handled on the coast each monih piles up
a large expense in this item alone. An
order has been issued requiring agents to
disregard the provisions of the law. As a
result the matter haa already been report
ed to the revenue department at Wash
ington, and in all probability it will re
sult in a test case to determine the va
lidity of the railway company's objection.
Burlington's Tie Plant.
HOT SPRINGS, S. D., Nov. 21.—('Spe
cial.)—The tie plant which the Burling
ton & Missouri River railroad has been
building at Edgemont in th's county, for
the purpose of subjecting the ties to a
chemical process in order to preserve
them from worms and rot, is completed
enough to begin work. Last Thursday
in the presence of Assistant General Su
perintendent Rhodes and Supt. J. R.
Phelan, the first run was made. Thir
teen cars of ties were run into the long
barrel retort, the door was shut and the
presure applied to force the chemical
solution into the wood. It requires but a
short time under pressure to treat the
tics and make them ready for use. The
work will be pressed as rapidly as possi
ble night and day. The plant will be
doubled as soon as it is possible to get
men for the work. This new industry
will be of great benefit to Edgemont.

PASSED iFpYacT
Continued From First Page,
city today, and in his absence no cne cou'd
say whether the court would attend the
funeral in a body, but the officials of
that tribunal generally expressed them
selves as very confident that It would
do so.
Owing to the fact that the house of
representatives Is without a speaker no
arrangements with reference to the house
committee were made today. Gen. Hen
derson, who will be the next speaker, tel
egraphed to MaJ. McDowell, the clerk of
the house, at his. home at Sharon, Pa.,
and Maj. McDowell Is expected here to
night. Upon his arrival he will consult
Gen. Henderson and other representatives
who are in the city, atid a committee will
be appointed to attend the funeral.
QUESTION OF SUCCESSION.
The death of Vice President Hobart
naturally recalls the death of Vice Presi
dent Hendricks, who expired suddenly of
paralysis of the heart, Nov. 25, 1885. At
the time the question of the succession to
the presidency had: not been settled by
law, although Senator Hoar's bill provid
ing for the presidential possession through
the cabinet had been submitted on Dec.
4, 1883, and had remained unacted on.
The news of Mr. Hendricks' death was
received in Washington late in the after
noon of Nov. 25. President Cleveland was
at dinner when the news was brought to
him by Secretary L,amont. Notices were
sent at once to all the members of the
cabinet, and a special cabinet meeting
was held that night. President Cleve
land's first act was to dispatch a telegram
of condolence to Mrs. Hendricks, after
which a proclamation was prepared, mak
ing an official announcement of the vice
president's death to the public, establish
ing a usage which was followed today by
President McKinley.
On the morning following Mr. Hen
dricks' death meetings of such members
of the house' and senate as were in town
were held at the capitol, and committees
from both legislative branches were ap
pointed to attend " the funeral services,
which were held in Indianapolis on the
Tuesday following. Nineteen members
were appointed on the house committee,
and the rather unusual number of thir
teen from the senate.
President Cleveland at first expressed
his intention of attending the funeral,
but there was an immediate protest from
all his advisers, seconded by the press of
both parties, against his subjecting him
self to even the slight possibilities of an
accident incident to travel at a time when
there was no provision for a successor in
his office, and when his death might have
entailed serious consequences. After
some days the president deferred to the
advice of his friends, and remained in
Washington. The cabinet, however, at
tended the funeral in a body, and the su
preme court adjourned over until after
the services.
Pending the president's decision not to
go to Indianapolis the most elaborate
preparations were made by the railway
officials for the safeguarding of his train
in case a Journey should be made, special
track walkers, pilot engines and the like
being detailed to insure the safety of the
whole route.
The vice president^was In Indianapolis
at the time of his death, and through a
singular set of circumstances no one was
in the room with him when he expired.
PROVISION FOR CONTINGENCIES.
The law applicable to the presidency
was enacted Jan. 19, 1886, by the Forty
ninth congress, first session. The main
features are as follows:
Be it enacted, etc., that in case of re
moval, death or resignation, or. lnability
of both the president and vice president
of the United States, the secretary of
state or • • * secretary of the treas
ury or • * • secretary of war or. • • •
attorney generaf or * * * postmaster
general or ♦ • * secretary of the navy
or • ? ♦ secretary of the interior, shall
act as president until the disability of
the president or vice president is removed
or a president shall be elected.
The law further provides that when
one of the above eablnet officers suc
ceeds to the presidency he shall call a
special session of congress. A provision
limits the succession to those who would
be eligible to the presidency under the
terms of the constitution, and who have
been appointed with the advice and con
sent of tho senate.
The effect of the law Is not to provide
a succession to the vice presidency, but
merely to Insure a succession of the pres
idency.
By the death of Mr. Hobart Senator
William P. Frye, of Maine, becomes pres
ident pro tern, of the senate, and will
discharge all the duties of tha vice pr, s
dent as presiding ofik c of that body.
The senate rules specially provide that
no election Is necessary at the beginning
of the session. Senator Frye, according
ly, will continue as presiding officer until
the end of President McKlnley's adminis
tration, unless he. chooses to resign, or
the senate wishes to e'.ect ano h r senator
to the office.
A curious coincidence of the death of
Vice President H~obart is found In the
fact that of the ¥ix 'face presidents who
have died in office, -four died within a
few days of the *&mfc day of the month
In U»e year of thrtr rfoaths. the death of
Mr. Hobart being !thr> 21st of November,

TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD.
1 . «•***> — ■•■ SB**'
Latg Vice President Admired ami
' Btteem'ed Regurdle«» of Party.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.— Senator For
aker said: "Of course _iho vico PfS^i
dent's death wai expected! Nevertheless,
In common with the whole country, l am
greatly grieved. Mr. Hobart was a noble
generous-minded man, one of the most
lovable I have ever known. Of him in
his offtical capaicty it "may be said that
he was a typical presiding officer, deserv
edly popular, and most Highly esteemed
by all senators, without regard to party
affiliations. He will be greatly missed."
Senator Daniel said: "I was a great ad
mirer of the vice president, and consider
his^ death a loss to the entire country.'
The industrial commission adjourned
at noon out of respect to the vice presi
dent's memory. Senator Kyle, the pres
ident of the commission, said: "I urn
pained to learn of his death, and with
the American people share the universal
sorrow and loss. Leaving politics aside,
all who knew Garret A. Hobart unite in
paying the highest tribute to his per
sonal worth, gentlemanly, dignified bear
ins, and absolute fairness as a presiding
officer. His friends were legion, and his
enemies few. I have always been glad
to claim his friendship, and today join
in the tribute of love and esteem for his
beautiful life, and of sympathy for his
bereaved family. His services to his
country have been universally recognized,
and his death is a national calamity. We
can ill afford to lose such men."
Senator Clark, of Wyoming, said that
, all members of the senate realized in Mr.
Hobart one of its best presiding officers.
He was a man who could expedite busi
ness and did It in a manner which caused
no friction or unpleasantness among the
senators.
Senator Fairbanks said: "Garret A.
Hobart was a great vice president, and
his death is a severe loss to the nation.
We shall not soon look upon his like
again. He possessed the respect and con
fidence of the entire country. Admiration
for him was not restricted by mere party
lines. No one knew better than he at
all times the state of the business of the
senate. He was quick and just in decis
ion, and absolutely free from partiality
No provocation ever disturbed his ur
banity, and he had fully the president's
confidence. There existed between the
president and the vice president the meat
cordial relations."
Secretary Wilson said: 'The vice pres
ident has made a marked impression on
the country during his brief period of of- I
flcial life His training had prepared him
for presiding over the senate. The useful
ness of our public men dependa in large
measure upon their preparation for the
discharge of official duties. In addition to
this Vice President Hobart was a kindly
man. a genial, lovable man. His office
has the reputation of being perfunctory
but he magnified it and made himself use
ful to the people."
Senator Cockrell said: "I was personal
ly very fond of the vice president. He
v/as an excellent presiding officer. Being
always fair and impartial, he aided ma
terially in facilitating the disposition of
the business of the senate. He showed
great aptitude and quickness in familiar
izing himself with rules and methods of
proceedure, and was invariably pleasant
and courteous."
Senator Harris: "I heard the news of
the vice president's death with profound
sorrow. I never knew a man who had
such a strong faculty for endearing him
self to those with whom he came in con
tact. His death is not only a national
less, but a personal loss to every member
of the senate."
DENVER, Col., Nov. 21.— United States
Senator Henry M. Teller said today of
the late Vice President Hobart: "There
is no question but that he was the most
popular presiding officer ever in the sen
ate. He was capable, and was a fine par
liamentarian. He was always absolutely
impartial. It Is indeed a hard blow for
the senate to lose such a valuable man.
He will be missed "
CLEVELAND, 0., Nov. 21.— Speaking
of the death of Vice President Hobart,
Senator Hanna said today: "It Is a great
loss to the nation and the party, and an
especial loss to the large circle of friends
who knew Mr. Hobart best. He was a
man universally respected, loved and
trusted. He stood in the front rank of
the business men of his section, and in
his own city was known and appreciated
as a good citizen and benevolent friend."
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.— The city council
met today and, as a mark of respect to
the late vice president, adjourned after
passing resolutions expressing regret for

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 21.— The
news of Vice President Hobart's death
was received with expressions of deep re
gret by Milwaukee Republicans. Nation il
Committeeman Henry C. Payne said:
"Mr. Hobart was an honest, straightfor
ward, courteous, substantial man, and his
removal will be a. loss to the country,
and to me it is a deep personal loss. I
had known him for twenty-five years, and
during twenty years that I have been a
member of the national Republican com
mittee he had also belonged to it, and
our acquaintance ripened Into de*p j
friendship. Had he lived and been in j
good health, there is no shadow of a !
doubt but that he would have been re
nominated."
BISY CAREER.
Sketch of Life and Achievements* of
Garret A. Hobttrt.
Garret A. Hobart was eminently suc
cessful bot l in business and politics. His
reputation as a man of affairs and as one
of the shrewdest business men in the
country was perhaps greater than his
reputation as a political leader and states
man until his election to the vice presi
dency three years ago. Mr. Hobart was
born in 1844 at Long Branch. N. J. His
ancestors on his father's side were Eng
lish and on his mother's side Dutcn.
Thirty-three years ago he was graduated
from Rutgers' college and began teach
ing school. Three months later he en
tered upon the study of law with Socrates
Tuttle, a prominent lawyer in Passaic
county, and who was at that time mayor
of Patersun. Young Hobart is said" to
have arrived at Paterson with but a dol
lar and fifty cents in his pocket, and
from this small beginning he made his
way unaided to wealth and prominence
In 1869 he was admitted to the bar and
the same year he married the daughter
of Mr. Tuttle.
Mr. Hobart made his way rapidly at the
bar of his native state and his bent led
him early into "politics. In 1871 he was
made city counsel of Paterson and in 1572
was elected to the state assembly, of
which body he was chosen speaker in the
following year. Even during those early
years he displayed that accurate knowl
edge of men and exhibited that wonder
ful executive ability which were the kuy
of his later success both in business and
politics. At the end of his second year in
the assembly he retired to devote himself
to the law and to the numerous business
interests with which he had become Iden
tified. But the demands of his party
would not admit of his remaining long In
private life, and in 1876 he was elected to
the state senate, of which body he was
chosen president in.lSSl. During his serv
ice in the senate he was chairman of the
judiciary committee and was the author
of many measures of importance which
are now on the statute books of the state
of New Jersey. Hla party became more
and more exacting in its demands upon
him. His was recognized as a safe and
guiding hand, and from ISBO to 1891 he was
at the head of the state Republican or-

ganization of New Jersey, and as such,
planned some of the most brilliant cam
paigns conducted by his party in the
state. From 1884 until 1896 he was a mem
ber of the national Republican executive
committee and had much to do with the
management of the national campaigns
during those twelve years.
During all these years his business con
nections became broader and broader.
His keen Insight Into affairs made his ad
vice and counsel of such value th?t he
•was sought after "by some of the largest
corporations in the. country and at the
time of his election as vice president he
was a director in no less than s'.xty dif
ferent companies. Probably the greatest
business honor which he attained was his
selection as one of the three arbitrators
of the joint traffic association, composed
of thirty-seven of the most prominent
trunk lines of the country. Through his
business connections and his law prac
tice he built up a large fortune.
After his nomination and election to the
vice presidency on the ticket headed by
Mr. McKinley, he came to Washington
and took up his residence in the old
Cameron mansion adjoining the site of
the historic old Seward house on Lafay
ette square, where Blame died. The Ho
bart residence during the past two years
has been the scene of many delightful
social affairs. Socially the vice pres'dent I
and his charming wife divided the honors I
with the president and Mrs. McKinley.
Vice President Hobart's genial tempera
ment and charming personality made him i
very popular not only in the senate, over
which he presided with dignity and abil-
Ity. but with all who came In contact '
with him.
Mr. Hobart left but one child. Garret i

PARIS, Nov. 21.— The senate, sitting as j
a high court for the trial of the con- I
spiracy cases, resumed today the exam- '
ination of M. Guerin, who insisted that
the anti-Semitic league had not meddled j
with politics, but had merely "defended
the working classes against the power of
the Jews, and said it had no connection !
with the Royalists. M. Guerin also insist
ed that he had never plotted against the
republic. Adverting to the Fort Chabrel
incident, M. Guerin expiated upon the
sufferings of the besieged, and denied that
he had ever fired ball cartridges at the
police.
M. Duboc, president of the League of
Anti-Semitic Youth, was next examined. J
He declared the demonstrations of Its '
members were directed purely against the
revision of the Dreyfus case. Counsel
for M. Duboc said he wished for an ex- i
planation of certain charges against his j
client. The public prosecutor refused to !
givo the required Information, which led !
to violent protests from the Rightists, i
whereupon M. Falliers, president of the
senate, adjourned the proceedings until
tomorrow.
