TO REMOVE THE CAPITAL.
London, Qct. 4.—A dispatch to the
Standard from Shanghai says that Vice-
roy Li Hung Chang has gone to Pekin
at the special request of the dowager
empress of China, with whom he has
always had the most cordial relations.
The grand scheme of administrative re-
organization has been prepared between
them, a prominent feature being the re-
moval of the capital from Pekin to some
more secure place in central China.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 4.—Mayor McKia-

evening, between John L. Sullivan and
Paddy Ryan.
A strong effort is being made by offi-
cials of the organization to induce the
mayor to change his mind, but the latter
says he will not do so, and it is very prob-
able the contest will not take place.

RESPECT MONROE DOCTRINE.
TO SUPPRESS REBELLION.
Montevideo, Oct. 4.—General Estavan
has started with a force of cavalry for
the frontier. He goes to try to suppress
a revolution which was started by the
Blanco party, aided by several men who
had been engaged in the rebellion in Rio
Grande Do Sul, Brazil. The revolu-
tionists are well armed and it is said they
are led by Apanacio Saraiva.
AMERICAN PLUCK.
London, Oct. 4.—A letter to the Pall
Mall Gazette from Ku Cheng, published
this afternoon, dilates upon the fact
that it is a strange thing that the only
fighting man sent to Ku Cheng with a
commission appointed to inquire into the
massacres of missionaries was Lieu-
tenant Waldo Evans of the United States
cruiser Detroit, in spite of the fact that
two British* gunboats are lying at Foo
Chow.
The correspondent of the Pall Mall Ga-
zette adds: “When the party arrived at
Ku Cheng the mandarin in command
there refused to allow the members of
the commission to attend the trial of the
accused vegetarians, whereupon J. Court-
ney Hixson, the United States consul at
Foo Chow, who is the most energetic
member of the commission, peremptorily
demanded, in most vigorous language,
the right of being present at the trial.
He said he did not care how great the
personage of the mandarin was, he would
stir up all the powers unless he was ad-
mitted and gave the mandarin four hours
in which to make up his mind.”

PERRY WANTS IT.
Perry, Okla., Oct. 4.—Business men
have made up a big purse for the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight to come here, as Dal-
las, Texas cannot pull it off. In Okla-
homa the laws make prize-fighting a mis-
demeanor, and punishment by $500 fine
cr one year in jail. Richard Plunkett, a
well known western sport, is in constant
communication with Dan Stuart. Busi-
ness men will offer a purse for the fight,
and it is said $25,000 will be raised.

MATCHING TH EDIXONS.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 4.—J. H. Her-
mann today received a telegram from
Tom O’Rourke, at New York, offering to
match George Dixon against Tommy
Dixon at the Manhattan Athletic club,
for a purse of $1000, on October 25. Her-
man declined the proposition, but. offered
to match Billy O’Donnell with George
Dixon for 10 rounds, the winner to take
everything, before the same club.

Headquarters of the Rebel Army,
Puerto Principe, Cuba, September 23,
via Key West, Fla., October 3.—At a
meeting of the Cuban provincial dele-
gates in this place today the report of
the special committee appointed to draft
a constitution was adopted .without de-
bate, the fundamental laws of the re-
public were formally proclaimed and the
independence of the island from Spain
solemnly declared, that the provincial
government of General Maceo gives way
to this permanent organization:
President, Salvadore Cisneres of Puer-
to Principe; vice-president, Bartolomae
Maceo of Manzanillo; secretary of war,
Carlose Roloff of Santa Clara; foreign
affairs, Rafael Portuendo of Santiago;
treasury, Severa Pina of Santa Espiritu;
interior, Santiago J. Saninares of Redios;
general-in-chief, Maxim Gomez; lieuten-
ant-general, Antonio Maceo.
The provinces of Santa Clara, Santiago,
Havana, Puerto Principe and Matanzas
are all represented in the new govern-
ment and the organization seems to
give general satisfaction to the insur-
gent sympathizers throughout the island.

Territory. I would then be in my own
country, and not run any chances of get-

“Do

“Well, you can bet all your money it

Dan Stuart has anything to do with is
bound to be a success. Stuart has given
his word to the sporting world that the
fight will take place, and he will carry out •

Corbett will give a performance here

morrow morning.
FITZ AND JULIAN.
Corpus Christi, Tex., Oct. 3.—The pass-
age of the prize-fight law, with the em-
ergency clause, was a great surprise to
nearly everyone in this city. When asked
by a reporter what he thought of the
passage of the law, Manager Julian said:
“We are sorry the law was passed, but it
is no- more than we expected. We relied
on the Dallas people, and Mr. Stuart par-
ticularly to pgjl off the fight. We be-
lieve Corbett and Brady worked for the
passage of the law, as his absence from
the state is an evidence that he antici-
pated such an enactment. We don’t pro-
pose to be dragged over the country. We
had a place selected where the fight could
take pladl, but Corbett was Pent on com-
ing to Texas, knowing that it would be
impossible to fight here. We know a
place now where the fight can take place,
and where the crowds and purse will be
as large as it would be in Dallas, and
Corbett has got to fight or acknowledge
that Fitz is the best man. Fitz will train
here four weeks, and then go to Dallas
and claim half the forfeit money.”
All Fitzsimmons had to say was “Cor-
bett can’t get out of it. He will have to
fight. He is happy today, but I'll make
him sick.”
SOUTH M’ALESTER.
South McAlester, I. T., Oct. 4.—The
Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, having been
declared off by the Texas legislature,
South McAlester has extended an invi-
tation to have the fight take place here.
The ablest lawyers in the territory say
there is no law against prize-fighting in
the Indian Territory. A number of
Choctaw officials have expressed them-
selves as desirous of ha ring the mill take
place here, and say no protest will be
made to the United States government
to stop the fight.

CORBETT SPOILING.
New Orleans. La., Oct. 4.—Corbett and
party reached the city this morning, from
Montgomery, -where they gave a show
last night. “I see Fitzsimmons has been
doing some more talking on his trip
through the south,” said the champion.
“Do you know what I think Fitzsimmons
is? He is a fake of the -worst kind. He
is trying his mightiest to get out of this
fight, but I will fight him, if I have to
chase him in a corner so there could be
no escape. I wish the fight was tonight.
I am anxious t goihtatmeizz
I am anxious to get at him, for he has
been making some statements that are
absolutely false.
“I am ready to fight within an hour,”
said Corbett; “I wish the battle was to
take place today in the Olympic club;
nothing would please me better. In my
fight with Sullivan there was none of the
worry that I have encountered in this
match and which also arose with my
fight with Mitchell. When the profession
lost New Orleans,.they lost the best city
in the country for a championship con-
test.
“Now, don’t you think a man in Fitz-
simmons’ position should be a little more
circumspect in his talk? Every dollar
■with the exception of $2000, of Fitzsim-
mons’ stake has been seized. Now, sup-
posing I do win the fight, I may get the
short end of it, after all. Fitzsimmons
had better be making arrangements to
carry out his end of the contract instead
of roasting me. Now, if Fitzsimmons
would only put up his stake, without any
strings attached to it, and agree upon a
referee, there -would be no governor who
could stop the fight. We could go into
some deep forest, where men are very
seldom seen, and settle our differences.
I would be willing to fight him for the
stake alone.”

Atoka, I. T., Oct. 4.—The Choctaws
here are sanguine that the council, which
meets at Tuskahoma on next Monday
will pass a bill similar to the one passed
by the Texas legislature yesterday. Gov-
ernor Gardner is a full-blooded Choctaw
Indian, and in his opposition to the fight
will rival even Governor Culberson. The
statute of Arkansas of 1884, is in force
in this country, and they are silent so far
as they pertain to prize-fighting, and there
is nothing in the federal statute books
which would warrant the marshal to take
a hand to prevent the fight coming off.
The attorney general has signified his
willingness to call out the militia to the
assistance of the Choctaw tribe if re-
quested to do so. It is not believed that
the principal chief has the authority to
call upon the United States government
to prevent the fight in the absence of a
law prohibiting it on the statute books of
the Choctaw nation. Unless the bill is
passed, there is nothing here to prevent
the mill being pulled off. If it were pos-
sible for the athletic club to get permis-
sion of the council, then the federal au-
horities would not interfere, even if re-
quested to do so by Governor Gardner.
A representative of Dan Stuart was
here yesterday, and the general impres-
sion is that-an attempt will be made to
secure a place two miles below here on
Boggy Creek, for the scene of the con-
test. It is about three hours’ run from
Dallas to this place, on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railway. Sufficient
lumber can be had to build an enclosure.
PORT ARTHUR QUESTION.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 4.—A special
from Loudon to the Herald says:
With the reported cession of Port Ar-
thus to Russia, which, however, has
been since semi-officially denied from St.
Petersburg, the eastern question has
suddenly come to the front again.
Minister Kato, the Japanese repre-
sentative at the court of St. James, in
an interview said: “There can be no
mystery as to our delay in evacuating
the Liao Tung peninsula. The Japanese
are simply waiting for the first payments
stipulated by the treaty of Shimoneseki.
When these payments are made the Jap-
anese troops will be withdrawn. I do
not think that Russia will press for
evacuation only. Rather, I should say,
she will urge China-to pay the necessary
portion of the indemnity. Japan was
forced to yield Port Arthur on the plea
that her persevering in the occupation
of it would harm eastern trade. There-
fore, I can not see how Russia could
take possession of the place and avoid
the application of the same argument to
her own pretensions.”
“If this cession to Russia were con-
firmed,” was asked; “what would be the
Japanese outlook in Corea?”
“Very threatening,” was his excel-
lency’s reply. “With Russian troops at
Vladivostock on the one hand and Port
Arthur on the other, but if this would be
threatening to Japan, it would, in my
opinion, be even more so to China.”

Washington, D. C., Oct. 4.—The United
States has called upon the Siamese gov-
ernment to settle what is known as the
Cheek claim. Instructions have been
sent to Mr. John Barrett, minister resi-
dent at Bangkok to request a settlement
of this claim.
The claim was made some years ago
by Dr. M. A. Cheek, who recently died
in Siam. It was caused by the action of
the Siamese government in confiscating
property belonging to him. From hia
statement made to the department and
other papers forwarded by Minister Bar-
rett it appears that Cheek entered into a
contract with the Siamese government
to cut the teakwood which abounds in
that country and ship it to a market.
The Siamese government advanced him
600,000 tekals to assist him to buy ele>
pliants, implements, etc. Dr. Cheek, in
addition, put a large sum of money into
the enterprise and commenced to carry
cut his contract. The Siamese govern-
ment became dissatisfied with his opera-
tions and without any intimation what-
ever seized all the property, claiming
that he had broken one of the provisions
of the contract.
London, Oct. 1.—Gieseker, the great
sugar authority, whose hitherto correct
forecasts have carrier with them weight
of commercial opinion, estimates the Eu-
ropean sugar crop this year will be 1,-
200,000 tons short of the average. The
sugar trade has been figuring up on a
shortage of 7Uv.000 tons. -
Revenue returns for the United King-
dom show a net increase for the sis
months ending with yesterday of 4,063,-
000 pounds, of which 3,659,000 pounds ac-
crued within the last quarter. The bulk
of the increase, 2,698,000 pounds, arises
fj-om the sale of revenue stamps, chiefly
arising from the extraordinary develop-
ment of stock exchange business and pro-
motion of new companies. Every depart-
ment of the revenue service shows an
increase, showing the existence of solid
improvement In trade. The conservative
newspapers are jubilant over this show-
ing and are in expectation of an enor-
mous budget surplus in consequence.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t E.eport
Royal
New York, N. Y., Oct. 4.—A special to
the World from Washington says: The
great international question of the hour
is the Venezuelan boundary line dis-
pute. Secretary Olney has prepared a
dispatch to Ambassador Bayard which
will soon bring the matter to an issue.
This dispatch is of a most positive and
unequivocal nature. As soon as it shall
be placed before the British government
it will raise an issue which can be set-
tled only by the retreat of one or the
other government. The stand taken by
the United States in this dispute is one
which involves the oldest and most sa-
cred traditions of the government—an
enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
Secretary Olney’s dispatch is in sub-
stance a declaration in the Inost positive
language that the United States will
never consent to British occupation of
the disputed territory in Venezuela unless
that nation’s right thereto is first deter-
mined by arbitration. While this decla-
ration is substantially the same as that
which was made some months ago and to
which the British foreign office replied
with a statement that England’s right
to a part of the territory in question
could be submitted to arbitration, the
right to another part of the region in
question could not be subjected to such
arbitration. When Great Britain took
this ground, the .question which the
president and his advisers had to decide
was whether the United States was
bound by the Monroe doctrine and by her
dignity to insist that all of the territory
in dispute should be submitted to arbi-
tration or whether by conceding Eng-
land’s contention we should virtually
abandon the field and leave Venezuela
to fight it out alone. Few7 more serious
questions have presented themselves to
an American administration within re-
cent years.
The decision of the president and his
cabinet advisers, after careful discussion
and painstaking investigation, is that the
bold and consistent policy shall be adopt-
ed and this policy has been formulated
in the dispatch which Ambassador Bay-
ard will lay before the British govern-
ment as soon as he returns from his
present journey to Scotland. The dis-
patch meets England’s rejoinder with a
reaffirmation of the principle of the orig-
inal contention, expressed in [phrases
which leave no possibility of doubt as
to the meaning or the earnestness of the
United States.
; It does more. In polite but firm and
significant words Secretary Olney de-
clares it to be the belief of the United
States government that the territorial
claims which Great Britain has set up
tn Venezuela are in the nature of an at-
tempt to seize territory on the American
continent to which she has no legal
right. The secretary points out two
horns to the dilemna, leaving Great
Britain to choose which it will accept.
First: If the quarrel with Venezuela
is an ordinary boundary dispute, having
its origin in faulty descriptions, imper-
fect surveys or other misunderstandings,
a refusal to arbitrate the same is con-
trary to the precedents set by Great
Britain herself and contrary to the prac-
tice of all civilized nations.
'Second: If, on the other hand, as ap-
pears to be the case and is the belief of
the president of the United States, the
dispute as to the location of a boundary
line is a mere disguise, under which
Great Britain is attempting by superior
force to extend her territorial posses-
sions in America, this is directly viola-
tive of the Monroe doctrine and will
never be submitted to by the United
States.
This is the substance of the dispatch
which in all probability will soon be-
come one of the inost: famous dispatches
ever sent out from the American state
department. It is a direct, positive and
practical application of the. Monroe doc-
trine in its broadest aspect to the quarrel
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
It commits the United States to a posi-
tion which must be adhered to .
