ID.-—Corblitt , laced bolas-sinuous of them on the charge of conspiring to canals asp ll one Bob Fitssimnscns by sgrse ng’to engage in a prise light with him. The affidavit of the prosecuting attorney stated that there was danger-o! such a meeting. re- sulting in the defendant doing Mr. Fits- sinnnons great bodily harm. Corbett was released upon a petition to the judge of the chancery court, of whom he asked a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that he was not contemplating to viola any of the laws in the state of Ark sas; hence be was being illegally restrained of his liberty by the sheriff. The Justice thereupon passed Mr. Corbett over to the chancery court. Joe Vendig was placed on the stand for the purpose of proving that the defendant had entered into an agreement to meet Fltralmmons here on Oct. ill in a limited contest with soft gloves, and at any time the referee thought the contest brutal he had power to call it ofl. Before the testimony of Mr. Vendig had been taken Attorney Martin, for the defense, asked that Corbett be excused, as he had to take the li o'clock train for Little Rock. The judge consented. but had the sherid send a deputy along to see that Corbett got back in time for the re- convening this afternoon. ,William A. Brody gave out something that will make Fitzsimmcns show his hand and say whether or not he wants to fight. Mr. Brady says that President Dan Stuart wired Bob that if he was not in the state on Monday the light would be lideciored 03. Mr. Brady said: “If Fitz- simmons will come hero and stand the same trial that Corbett has done. he will certainly have a chance to fight. Chancel- lor weatherman will doubtless release Corbett on a writ of huboas corpus, and the habeas corpus is ‘a right so sacred in the United States that the governor must respect it. Then, too, if he calls out the state troops he must put them under the orders of the sheriff of the county to which they go." Mr. Brady' was asked whether he meant, if the fight wu' not pulled off in Arkan. see. it would be declared off. ”No. indeed, ” he replied, but refused to state what plans were laid in case the Hot Springs deal should fall through. Ilsa Governor Clark a Tramp Card! LITTLE ROCK. Oct. 10.—It is emphatic- ally declarcd around the state capitol that no fight will occur, and it is believed that Governor Clark has a trump card up his sleeve which will be sprung later. Talk of the governor calling out the militia. dc- clarlng martial law, overruling Judge. Leatherruan and statements of that char- acter are plentiful, but find little credence since, by the constitution of the strife. the governor cannot declare martini lavv‘rx- cept by consent of the general rmscmbly. and he has all along declared that no special session will be convened. If the matter he left with the courts to settle, it would seem to be rs certainty that Corbett rind h‘ltzslmmons will meet on Oct. ill, provided b‘itzslnrmons will agree to the new articles. Preparations are being pusher] right along at. the Springs. The railroad has a force of men at work building side trucks for the 0000m- modniion of special trains, and the hotels are preparing for the influx of the multi- tilde.

The consul was shown the dispatch from El Prise. which stated that the business men had raised $15,000 to pay for the Mexican concession. Senor Dias was very emphatic in his do- nial that the Mexican government would make any «accession at any price. ”We do not need money.

There is no concession for sale at El Press. and I run officially arithorizcd to state that Presl- dcnt Dias will not portrait the light to take place on Mexican soil."

Boston, Oct. ills—Tho battleship In- diana made her official speed trial run over the government cccun course—31 knots eastward from Cupcplnn and return —-and showrrd an average speed of 15.61 knots per hour. which, if not decreased by the tide allowance, will entitle the Cramps, hcr builders, to a bonus of $50,- 000, as the ship was required to show a speed of only Iii knots, while for every quarter knot above that requisite the firm is entitled to 025.000. At the end of the runs the indlrsna had shown herself to be the finest tassel of her class afloat. The government board is satisfied, the Cramps are pleased, and Fighting Bob Evans. who is to command her, is manl- fcstly as happy as a king. Notwithstand- ing the fact that she had her trial prac- tically in fighting trim. the battleship did not roll even in the slightest degree, which is deemed wonderful by the naval experts who wore on board. as warships of this class are noted generally for their tremendous roll. The total elapsed time of the Indiana for the run of co knots was 3:68:28. The time on the run cast was 2:02:07, and the vessel showed an average speed of 15.24. On the return tho elapsed time was 1:50:21; average, 15.99 knots; average for the entire run, Halli knots. REDUCED TO ASHES. A Southern Ohio Village Almost Complete- ly Destroyed by Fire. Grumman.

Par-bases 'l'ars Improved its-nu Guns can. used In Resisting nun-a llncrcasknssat—‘I'Ise sis-scion Has a Warllha look. New Years. Oct. 19.-’l'hat the Vans- zuelan question is assuming rapidly an acute stage, with the possibility of war. was made evident by interesting discloe: urea conveyed authoritatively in New York yesterday. For years the dispute respect- ing the boundary line in Venezuela be- tween that country and Great Britain has dragged along in tedious diplomatic in- tercourse. - The question as to Great Brit- ain‘s claim of Venezuelan territory has never been settled decisively. Steadily the British have encroached upon Vene- zuelnmlands until now they are actually claiming 7.000.000 acres of valuable gold . mining country. the concessions of which have been granted by the Venezuelan government to a syndicate composed of American citizens. Great Britain has advanced her aggres- sive claims wherever land of value has been discovered. It is precisely this fact and the determination of the United States PRESIDENT CHESPO. syndicate to uphold its right to its conces- sions that promise to bring about grave complications very shortly. In the first place. United States pros- pectors and minors and workmen will soon be at work actively on the very ground claimed by the British. Secondly, the Venezuelan government, it has just been learned. has been quietly supplying itself with modern armament. Among other supplies ton improved Max- im guns have been ordered from Europe. it is true General Crespo, president of Venezuela, did not order them directly. It is doubtful whether the English firm that manufactured thorn know their dea- tlnation. They were ordered from this country. with instructions to be sent to an exporting house in N cw York. Whether the guns have already arrived from Eng land has not been made clear. These facts born- out the supposition that Venezuela is determined to resist British aggression to the last and prove that the ciilzchs of the l'nitcd States who hold the concessions in Venezuela are re- solved to assert their rights immediately. An Interesting Problem. What the British will do when a large force of American workingrnou proceed to develop the territory claimed by them is the very latest interesting problem and one which carries with it grave results. The Orinoco company, an American syndicate, which controls largo conces- sions in the disputed territory. proposes to work its concussions without delay. uc- cordlng to W. N. Stafford, Wall street, New York. its attorney. Mr. Stafford said yes- terday that the company will send pros~ pectors along the line of the lmnticu mountains. and they will be followed by a large force of wurktnon if the country is found to be as rich in gold as it promises to be. The lawyer thinks there may be trouble and is sure Venezuela will stand up for her rights. The Orinoco company, which a few weeks ago acquired the prop- erties of tho Manon company, was organ— ized recently under- the laws of the state of Washington. On J one 18 last President Crospo rcrsilirrued the lease hold by the Manon company. The lands covered by the lease hold a practically inexhaustible deposit of as- phalt, vast gold and other mineral fields and mahogany forests. Those lands are said to bcworth millions upon millions of dollars. Leas Confers With Secretary Cnansboriain. LONDON, Oct. lit—Sir Charles Cameron Leos. governor of British Guiana, has been summoned to London to confer with Right lion. Joseph Chamberlain. secre- trary of state for the colonies, upon Veno- zuolan nil'rilrs. . The St. James diuretic. referring to the action of the cmulrlncd court in British Guiana in refusing to vote money for the purpose of purchasing Maxim guns. in ac. cordanco with the dispatch suit by Jo— seph Chamberlain. secretary of state for the colonies, on Sept. 7. says the dispatch was follower! by another from Mr. Chom- berlnln to t-iir C. Cornered Lees governor of British Guiana. directing hint to ob‘ taln without delay a vote for the pur- chase of two Maxim gratis, one of them to be stationed at Yul-nan, or elsewhere on the frontier where the Voncznolons may attempt to cross. It is ascertained on high authority that the memorandum in relation to Venezue- lan affairs presented by itmbnssndor Bay- ard to the British foreign office in August last embodies for the first time In diplo- matic correspondence a definition of the Monroe doctrine and an assertion that the United States regarded the acquisition of territory by lturripoan powers on the American continent as a menace to repub- lican institutions. which would not be encouraged by the American people.
