Bridgeport’s 'Street Car
Strike Renewed.
The Company Refuse to Concede Any
of the Men’s Demands—“fill Not
Recognize TheirUnion—Excitement
in the City Intense—Sympathy of
the Public With the Strikers. .
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Jan. 26.——The trac-
tion company’s cars are again tied up. At
the conclusion of the conference between
the officials and A. R. Logic. representing
the strikers, last night, the latter an-
nounced that the company would concede
nothing. Col. Heft said the company
would absolutely refuse to recognize the
Bridgeport Surface- Railway association,
the union formed by the men on Sunday,
and would not make a single concession.
The committee at once held a meeting
and ordered a strike. It is reported that
the company has fifty men ready to go to
work.
The excitement is intense and trouble
is anticipated if attempts are made to
run cars. When the strikers returned to
work they understood that the company
would grant them the right to belong to
the union.
On East Main street a car was seized by
.4. wild crowd and dragged two blocks,
where it was overturned and left lying in
the road. President Heft says he will
call yn the mayor and sheriff to furnish
protection. Serious trouble is feared, as
the strikers have public sympathy. The
situation is more critical than it was on
\Vednesday.
ANTI-CATI-IOLIC TEXDENUY.
Protection League Circulars Received
By United States Senators.
W’ASHIXGTON, Jan. 26,—Several senators
have received a small green pamphlet of
the National League for the Protection of
American Institutions. The objects of
the association are “to secure constitu-
tional and legislative safeguards for the
protection of the common [school system
and other American institutions, and to
promote public instructions in harmony
with such institutions, and to prevent all
sectarian and denominational appropria~
tions of public funds.” _
As the language clearly indicates, the
association has an anti-Catholic tendency.
In the list‘ of members composing the law
committee ' of the association appears
the name cf W'heeler H. Peckham.
In the copies of the pamphlet shown at
the capitol,-Mr. Peckham’s name rappears
to have been printed inthe list after the
book had left the press, as it differs from
the remainder in respect to the color of
Lhejnk used, and there is a faint suspicion
in the minds of some that the insertion
of the name in the list of officers of the
association is the work of enemies living
in New York. ,

To Be Offered as an Amend+
ment to the Wilson Bill.
The Decision Reached By Democrats
in Caucus Last Night By a. Vote of
89 to 71—Opposition Members
Declare They Are Not Bound to
Abide By the Agreement.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-—By a vote of 89
to 71 the democrats of the house of repre-
sentatives in caucus last evening voted to
make the internal revenue bill, including
.the income tax, an amendment to the
customs revenue bill now before the
house. The vote was taken upon the
converse of this proposition, upon Mr.
Wilson’s amendment to Mr. . Fithian’s
resolution that the internal revenue bill
be considered by the house as an inde-
pendent proposition and voted upon after
two days debate.
The caucus was in session two hours.
It was attended by an unususally large
number of representatives, and the pro-
ceedings throughout Were attended with
more Interest and patience than those of
any caucus of recent years.
'Mr. Flthian, of Illinois-at the begin-
ning, presented a resolution that it is the
sense of this caucus that the income tax
bill and internal revenue bill be offered
. as an amendment to the present tariff bill
now under discussion by the fifty-third
congress.
The resolution was su orted b
Messrs. Hatch, Bryan, Hall, 55d Fithiany.
Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania; General
Black, Mr. Tracy and Mr. Wilson, chair-
man of the committee on ways and
means, Opposed the resolution. Mr. Wil-
son appealed to Mr. Fithian to withdraw
his resolution, and, failing in this, pro-
posed as a substitute for it a resolution to
the effect that the internal revenue bill be
taken up next Tuesday, after the ‘Vilson
bill should have been voted upon by the
house, and two days given to its consider-
ation. Mr. \Vilson argued that to attach
the internal revenue bill, with the income
tax feature, to the pending measure out
the latter in great peril. He pointed but
that this was essentially the republican
programme. They desired, and would
vote, to have the income tax bill attached
to the tariff bill, but would then vote
against the passage of the combined
measure.
Mr. McMillin advocated Mr. Fithian’s
resolution.
The proposition was combatted by Mr.
Outhwaite, and by Mr. Bourke Cockran.
The interest in the question developed
considerable heat at times, especially
while Messrs. VVllson, McMillin, and
Cockran were talking. A vote was taken
upon Mr. Wilson’s substitute, resulting,
yeas 71, nays 89.
On motion of Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska,
Mr. Fithian’s resolution was amended so
as to provide for three days of debate upon
the internal revenue part of the bill and
was then adopted viva voce. The effect
of this action is to postpone from next
Monday until Thursday the first of Feb-
ruary a. vote upon the pending measure.
The committee on rules is requested to
bring in the necessary order to-morrow.
_ As the members separated, Representa-
tive Cockran shOuted to the chairman: “I
Wish you would announce that the vote
of the caucus does not bind anyone;” to
which Representative Holman, who was
in the chair, responded: “It binds every-
one.” But the action of the caucus, ac-
cording to some democratic authority,
does not bind anyone, and what portion
of the 71 who voted against combining
the two bills will vote against the ne
measure cannot be stated. ,

said, however, is small compared with

JACKSONVILLE, Fish, Jan. 26.—Tl§s usu-

to its normal condition after a few weeks
of the greatest excitement, culminating
in the greatest of great fights yesterday.
Many of the visiting sports have departed.
Corbett left this morning with his party
on a special train for New York to fill an
engagement at the Madison Square gar-
den Saturday night. Mitchell will be ar-
raigned to-day on the charge of engaging
in the offense of fighting by agreement,
for which he and Corbett gave bail in the
sum of $7,500 each. If the case against
Mitchell is dismissed, as is expected, Cor-
bett may not have to return. Nearly
every memberof the club is also under
bail.

JAMES J. CORBETT,
Champion Heavyweight Fighter of the
World.
The two pugilists met in the court room
while their bail bonds were being pre-
pared. Mitchell sent a. friend to Corbett
to ask him if he would not shake hands.
The latter graciously compliedand the
two fighters, Mitchell with a badly swol-
len face and Corbett smiling and un«
scratched, exchanged the stereotyped
compliments about each being the best
man'the other ever met.
Those whose experience at the ring-
side enabled them to keep their senses and
closely watch the only contestant in the
ring who could act, saw that Corbett had
struck that last awful blow to not alone
knock Mitchell out but to punish him also.
There was the hatred of years concen-
' trated in that blow and a rage that could
not be controlled by Corbett himself,
which urged him to strike his antagonist
while he was struggling in the arms of
his seconds. Delaney and Dempsey were
struggling with Corbett at one time and
scarcely able to hold him from rushing at
Mitchell while the latter was on his knees.
Delaney suddenly slapped Corbett’s face,
it was not a love tap by any means, but a.
blow that would knock over many men.
It served its purpose for it brought Cor.
bett to his senses and he went to his seat.
The theory that Corbett could not hit a
hard blow is now dispelled entirely.
There are many people who feel that
Corbett lost his head completely and give
his seconds more credit for winning the
battle than they do him. Not that Mit-
chell had the shadow of a chance to win
the fight, but he would unquestionably
have won it on a foul had Corbett been al-
lowed to depend entirely upon his own
judgment. Billy Delaney and Jack
Dempsey were quick at taking in the
ituation, and it required their combined
efforts to keep him away from Mitchell
while he was on the floor.
Corbett said this morning: “I really did
expect the fight to last six or seven rounds,
and went into the contest willing that it
should. But I guess the fighting instinct
got the better of me, for I could not hold
back my right. Mitchell isa game man.
No coward would have come back for his
punishment as he did.”
Mitchell was seen at the Everett house.
He said, seriously: “I metfa man wholis my
superior in weight and height and I now
freely acknowledge that he is also my
superior in science. He stopped me in
three rounds. Does not that tell the story.”
Corbett- received the money, purse and
stakes, last night.
THE FIGHT {N DETAIL.
A Jolly Crowd and a. Fierce Onc-
Sided Contest.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 26.——With the
fight arranged forl o’clock, it was a dis-
mal surprise for those who reached the
ring side at 12, to find that the fighting
stage was still under process of construc-
tion. \Vherr it was finished it was seen to
be a substantial and well-arranged af-
fair. It was raised four feet from the
floor and is '32x32 feet. The 24 feet fight-
ing square being surrounded on all sides
by a four-foot pathway. Eight padded
posts supporedt the three ropes which de-
fined the fighting space and a barb-wire
fence protected the pathway from outside
interference. Surrounding ‘the platform
were two rows of reporters’ seats and
benches, for which the reporters paid the
club a total of $2,250. The platform was
inthe centre‘of a structure like a hay-
barn. open at both ends and sides. »Be-
tween' the reporters benches and the
raised seats were rows of level seats,
which sold at $35, but on which the spec-
tators had to stand to see the top of the,
platform.
Ata quarter to 1 o’clock, the entire.-
police force of the city, about eighty men,
filed into the arena. They were reinforced
by 100 special officers sworn in, apparently,
to give that many citizens deadbead ads
mission. The crowd was good naturedland '
was inclined to jolly each other. The sur-
‘risinglthing was thefew bets. Therewere
at least five man here who had $10,000 each

which theylwanted to place on Corbett at
3 to‘ 1, but there was very little ‘Mitchell
money in sight. ,
Quite a. commotion was caused by the
discovery of a good looking woman occu-
pying a good seat near one corner of the
stage. She was stylishly dressed in men’s
clothes, her hair being coiled up under 9
soft white yachting cap. Her escort Was
a big man who'seeme'd quite able and
willing to take care of her. She was a
good-looking woman and appeared to be
only a little disconcerted by the amount
of attention she attracted. .
In one gallery sat some men with ion
whiskers who the crowd decided were
alderman, those officials all having free
admissions, and they received more jolly.
ing than they’ever heard before in their
lives. Another object of good-natured
comment was a group or militiamen in
full . uniform.
~ The' spectators entertained themselves
guessing at the number present. The
house counted up according to most of
the estimates 2,500 men and one woman.
At the varying 'prlces this would make
the box ofiice receipts in the neighborhood
of $60,000. “ -
At 2 o’clock, the number of spectators
was suddenly increased, admission to any
part of the arehwhaving been reduced to
$10. , ’
At 2:02 a tremendous yell announced
the appearance of Corbett. Thechampion
entered the ring at 2:03, wearing a long
chocolate-colored bath robe, a pair of black
trousers and‘ a- white sweater over his
fighting costume. ' ' -
He tested the ring ropes by throwing
his body against it in several places and,
seeming to find that satisfactory, inspect-
ed the floor of the stage and busied him-
self crushing and scattering with his
feet some lumps. of rosin. Then his sec—
onds and attendant-s gathered around his
corner on ' began .making preparations
for his atr .lCiOD. and comfort. Pails, bot-
tles, towels. linamentsand fans were dis-
: tributed about in their proper places, and
most of them were not touched during
the fight.
The crowd never stopped cheering and
yelling encouragement to Corbett until a
sudden yell near the arena entrance an-
n :‘vrr'ed the approach of Mitchell. The
Engllsman received a hearty welcome, al-
though the applause was rather perfunc-
tory and evidently given in a spirit of
fairness. '
Mitchell was also wrapped up in a
chocolate—colored bath. robe, long and
woolen, like Corbett’s. He was laughing
and jolly as he entered the ring, and
Billy Madden handed him a roll of bills.
They were the $2,000 stakes ' constituting
the $1,000 a. side which Brady, Corbett’s
manager, bet Mitchell that he would
never enter the ring opposite Corbett.
Mitchell grinned. and nodded as he looked
over at Corbett, and the latter nodded in
return, but not in a very fri dly man—
ner. Billy Madden then announced the
attendants, timekeepers, seconds, etc.
Then gloves were produced and care-
fully inspected by every one concerned.
Corbett’s set were brown leather and
Mitchell’s white. The gloves weighed
five ounces each.
Corbeti'»< gloves were on his hands and
he had : .nrted to strip when Refieree
Kelly call: .1 the men together to receive a
word of advice about breaking away and
to shake hands. They accepted the ad-
vice but Corbett declined to shake hands.
Then the men returned to their corners
to strip. ‘Vhen Corbett stripped to fight-
ing shape it was‘seen that his whole body
was bare excepting a loin cloth fastened
to his waist by his colors. Mitchell was
less nearly nude having on a pair of black
trunks which covered him half way from
his waist to his knees. When the men
were both ready Referee Kelly said: “Get
together boys,” the time gong rang out
and the short sharp desperate fight began.

corner as if he had been suddenly released
from restraint, and Mitchell, in amore
leisurely manner, walked to the centre to
meet him. They began fiddling, with
Corbett advancing and Mitchell giving
- ground. Both men were cautiously feel-
ing their way, but all the disposition to
get together was displayed by Corbett.
With easy light action, without so much
as a feint, Corbett worked his opponent to
the ropes and along each side of the
square, Mitchell cleverly escaping from
each corner after a complete tour of the
stage. Mitchell feinted with his left and
then led with it for Corbett’s ribs, but
Round one—Corbett sprang from his

Corbett was ehewhere in a flash. Corbett
led his left and landed a glancing blow
on Mitchell’s jaw. The Englishman
clinched; after the break, Mitchell landed
on Corbett’s wind, and got ‘Jim’s left on
nose in return. Mitchell then led twice ‘ .
in quick succession, but failed each time ‘
toreach the shifty Californian; on‘the
third attempt he landed lightly on. Cor-
.bett’s wind but took in pay a bang on
the nose which reddened' that organ.
Charley reached Jim’s jaw lightly and re-
ceived a hard one flush in the face. Time.
Round two—Corbett was in the middle
of the ring at a flash. Work was resumed
by Mitchell leading with his left, catching
Jim squarely on the mouth. Then, after
trying to force the fight for the first time,
his blows falling short, Mitchell Seemed
discouraged. Corbett resumed the offen-
sive, and cornering 'Mitchell, landed a .
heavy blow on the mouth. Toward the
close of the round Corbett had worked
Charlie over to the ropes, where, in a mix
up. he landed a straightdrive on Mitch-
ell’s left temple and dropped him. At
this point Corbett utterly lost his head.
If. it had not been for Referee Kelly’s heavy
restraini 5: hand he would then and there
lost the ght on a. foul. He was frantic
to get at his man and finish him, actually
struggling with the big referee to dash at
Mitchell every time the Englishman got
up on one knee. The gong sounded and
the end of the fight was delayed by time.
Round three-«During the minute’s rést
the referee warned Corbett about fouling,
and his seconds implored him to keep his
head and not lose the prize that was
plainly his. When the gong sounded
Mitchell came up slowly and Corbett
sprang at him. He rushed Mitchell into
a corner where, after punching him in the
nose with his left and drawing blood, he
swung on his jaw and knocked him down.
Again he lost his head and Kelly alone
could not keep him away from Mitchell.
Corbett’s attendants jumped into the
ring and pushed him away from his vic-
tim. The instant Mitchell was up Jim
911111ng at him, smashing him in the
mouth. Mitchell fell heavily and the
blood gushed from his mouth and nose.
Wild cheers rang out as the beaten, bleed-

stood defenseless and dazed Jim rushed
at him and swinging his right smashed a
terrific blow square on Charlie’s jaw. The
Englishman fell heavily on his side.

knockd out.
The spectators were nearly as wild with
excitement as the men on the platform, .
and no one left the arena until, after
Mitchell’s seconds lifted him up and car—
ried him to his corner. '

in four rounds. He has not yet made up
his mind to challenge Corbett. Sullivan
said: “In all probability I will challenge
Corbett, but not for a year. I have two
years in which to fight him. I could not
get into condition inside of a year. Cor—
bett is to fight inside of a. year and it
would be unfair to challenge him while ‘
,he is preparing for that fight. After that
will be time enough for me. I believe I
can whip any man in the world. I am
now in better shape than ever and could
soon fit myself for a fight.”

Post bu‘ildi‘n‘gl‘th'e're was a crowd of peo-
ple as great as on a national election day.
In the capitol grave senators slipped into
the cloak rooms where bulletins were
handed round, and members ofthe house,
notwithstanding the exciting fight in
progress over the income tax and tariif
bills, did not hesitate to sho..' a greater
interest in the fist fight dOWn n. l.‘..>rida.
