1Etv Orleans, March L Charlie
Mitchell has put h-mbclf in condition for
his sparring match before the Olympic Clnb
to-morrow night. He refused to meet Cor

has t lamed for a couple of weeks and cot

placed against him.
There was some talk
of Choynski or Greggains, but Mitchell de
clared that the club had promised to put a
local man against him, and apparently will
insist upon that condition.
Siaviu is solid as a rock and apparently
in splendid condition, althoush he has been
practicing but little lately. He says he
takes in very little weight, and is now at
l!)o pounds. Slavin would prefer to meet a
local man here.
"Is there any likelihood of your having
any important meeting before leaving this
country?"
Vavln on Meeting Sullivan.
"Xo, I leave a month from to-morrow,
and have engagements for r.eaily the entire
time I Mill go iroin Xew Orleaus to
Canada, a'ld after a tour of the principal
cities there will go to Kcw York and tail
lor Kurope."
"It vou defeat Jackson, what then?"
"I will only take a short rest and then
return to America and make a match with
Sullivan. That is what I came to America
lor, and I grew tired of waiting. I was
told Sullivan could not ficlit for 10 or 11
months, and I did not want to be idle all
the time. This Jackson match was then
proposed. I said I would fisht. If I lo.-e.
of course my chance will be gone, but it I
win I will be around in plenty of time to
meet Sullivan when he will be ready to
tight."
"What do vou think of the Maher-Fitz-siuimons
fight?"
"I think Ma"ier ought to win, unless
Fitzsimmons has strengthened and improved
wonderfully in the lat.t few yeais. I saw
him perlorra several times" in the old
country, and I think Hall can whip him. I
saw Maher when he tought Lambert, in
England. He is bic and strong, and a good,
hard hitter. 1 took a lancy to him when I
saw him fight, aud afterward Mitchell
lavored him as much as I did. I think he
oiight to win ou wei;ht and skill.
2o F.tzsimmonfc Men lliarc.
There will be no Fitzsimmons men in the
Slai in party. They had but one voice, aud
that voice was all lof Maher. Mr. Galla
gher, the London writer, was asked for his
opinion. "I have never seen Fitzsimmons,"
baid he, "but 1 know a great deal about
Maher. He got second once in an English
amateur middle-weight championship, and
in Ireland, in competition, showed up a
real good thing. The first good man" he ever
met was Peter Jackson, Jit that was purely
an exhibition to please some iriends who
were spending a pleasant Christmas
evening, two jcars ago, and counted lor
nothing. Since then he abandoned the
an.atcur ranks and went in for professional
pugilism, beins patronized by a well-known
bookmaker ol Dublin, of exceptional stand
ing "Tony Sage Mainly throujrh his in
strumentality, in conjunction with Mitchell,
Maher v as matched against Lambert, and
biore half of the first round was over
Maher had done the business. Lambert
neer had a ghost of a show. Then he
:ou;ht Al Bowman, in Dublin, and readily
got away with him. Bowman was consid
ered a promising middle-weight.
Mliers Arrival In America.
"We next heard of Maher contemplating
making Ameiica his home. Sage arranged
matters tor him with Billy Jladden, and
since Maker's arrival it is common historv
that he has won every time he was asked to
star. He has made short w ork of every
body pitted asainst him. It is my opinion
that he is now engaged to face the bisgest
job he has ever had. In the meeting with
i7simmor.s, l tninK ms strength, will
serve him more than his science, although
since his advent in Americi he has consid
erably impro ed in science. -Vhile retain
ing his power to punch right and left,
Maher is very loose, easy and close together,
and is a very stout puncher. I know noth
ing about Fitzsimmons."
Slavin finds it difficult to make a choice
bctweenthe two, but if it were a case of
odds being laid on Fitzsimmons he would
take his chances on Maher. Slavin has the
advantage of having seen both men.
Hnll lielieics In Maher,
Tim Kail. Fitzsimmons' old antagonist, is
also a strong old mn. He will probably
trv to make a match with the winner oi the
Maher-ritzsimmons fight. "I don't think
Fitzsiuimons will win," be said. "It is not
prejudice. Fitzsimmons is clever. He may
be cle crer than Maher, but Maher is skili
lnl, is a hard hitter, with two good hands
and it is foolish to talk of a man giving
away 21 pounds to such an opponent as
Mahr."
"But there is no 21 pounds difference,"
suggested a bjstauder. "Fitziimmons
weighs 170 pounds, and has not an ounce
of superfluous flesh on him."
Kail looked puzzled, and after a moment's
pause remarked: "Well, he trains down
and is strong at HO pounds, and trains up
and is strong at 170 pounds. He must be a
freak indeed. That is all there is of it."
arier's Arriral in Sen Orleans.
Madden and Fallon succeeded in their
scheme of gctsins Maher into the city with
out anyone seeing him or finding where he
was quartered. For the last two or three
davs there have been the most contradictory
stories about Maher, and it was evident that
n great deal of news was being sent out
about him for the purpose of misleading and
mvstifyins the public. Madden and
Fallon declared that he would not be here
before AVednesday mornintr, but this was
understood to be a mere rue to detract at
tention, and the feeling was seneial that he
would be smuggled in ahead of that time.
Last night it was reported on good author
ity that Maher was here, and the rumor was
general!' scented. It was. however, with
out foundation, for Maher was successfully
rmurgled in this morning, without anyone
beinc awaic of it
All the details had been well arranged in
advance. George Tuthill came on ahead,
and secured the necessary quarters in a
quiet, secluded portion of Cairolton, the
upper suburb of New- Orleans. The train,
with Madden. Fallon and Maher traveling
incognito, came in at 8 o'clock thi morn
ing. The Irish heavy-weight was transferred
at ence to a cab that was in waiting for him,
and the next minute was whisked away to
his quuiters. This lus been kept 'a pro
found secret, except fiom the officers of the
club, as Maher's managers are determined
he shall not appear in public or be seen
until he enters, the ring to meet Fitz
simmons. The Ton to licjln at 8 O'CIock.
The Olympic's entertainment begins to
morrow night at 8 o'clock, when Slavin and
Mitchell box. Maher will not be on hand
then, nor until a. few minutes of , and but
Fitzsimmons and a few of the audience will
see him until then. Madden, however, cir
culates freely around town talkiuc of Maher.
He says the Irishman's condition is perfect
in every respect, that the journey has not
tired him in the least, and that he isstronger
than he ever was. He will fight at 170
pounds, Madden says, but the general feel
ing is that he will be found heavier when
the weighing takes place, and will be up to
IbO pounds and probably well over it His
supporters will be somewhat disappointed
it he rails below 180. ,
Jimmie Carroll canfe over from Bay St.
Louis to-dar, leaving Fitzsimmons in charge
of Chornski and Greggains. He -also talked
his man up'to the utmost, and declared that
Fiizsinimons was never in better trim. He
as weighed up to 176. but this morning
was 170," and will fight at that weight, and
Carroll insUts that he has no superfluous
flesh on him, but that he is one of those
wonderful men upon whom 20 pounds or so
do not show. Fitzsimmons sparred yester
day with Greggains aud Choynski, but it
was thousht prudent to give this up alto
gether to-day. He will probably reach
here to-morrow morning, as the ride is a
shoitoneof only two hours aud cannot fa
tigue him. "
Tlio Metropolitan Club Meetln;.
When the Metropolitan Club found that
Ryan would not be able to meet Needham
in its ring, on account of his sickces, it set
about findini a substitute who would take
his place. It was at first thoueht the
original light itself oucht to take place, but
at a later dav. when Uvan was recovered.
There was but small promise here, however,

I reoiiire nrnhnhlv two weeks more of train-
J ; io nut himself in condition, which
would make a delay of a month. Needham
growled at this, although the club offered to
pav his expenses here in the meantime.
The long delay, however, was a serious
matter, ss the crowd now here would be
gone in a ew days, and the attendance
would be rruch smaller at a later meeting.
The club haa 'old 8,200 tickets, taking in
over 510,000, and did not like the idea of
being knocked out of this. Various propo
sitions to arrnngins another match were
suggested. Billy Meyer was approached,
but he refused "to entertain the idea for a
' second, declaring that he was entirely out
of training and it would be folly for him to
enter the ring.
A Match r.itclied Cp With Burke.
A match was finally patched up with
Burke, who has been training Ryan. Burke
is the champion lightweight of Texas, and
has enjoyed an unbroken record of 21 vic
tories, and claims the lightweight champion
ship of the South. He is 22 years of age
aud weighs 137 pounds. He has been the
boxing instructor of the Young Men's Gym
nastic Club of this city. He was to have
been in Kyan's corner, and was greatly dis
appointed when Uyan was taken sick. As
soon as the President of the Metropolitan
mentioned the subject Burke agreed to ac
cept the place of Ryan, and Mike Conlcy,
the Ithaca giant, who is acting for Need
ham, accepted the proposition and articles
were signed at one.
Xo fight probably ever came so soon after
the signing of articles as this, for the match
was arranged this mornins and fixed for 6
in the evening. The act that Burke was
training Ilyan necessitated his doing a great
deal of work himself, and while he was in
thorough (raining himself he was in
a lair condition lor the fight, but Xeedham
won, as will be seen in cur sporting columns.
Last NljUt'i netting in New York.
A special from New York late last night
says: The only discussion last night among
the New York sporting public was the
Maher-Fitzsimmons fight. The feeling of
sympathy lor Maher had not abated. But
reports about Fitz's willing training which
have come up from the South have made
many of the Irish champion's would-be
backers hold oft There are so many Irish
Americans in this city that the good wishes
far Maher can be readily explained, and
the small betters, those who put up from
?2 to f 10, are all with Peter. The men who
stake their hundreds and thousands are men
who bet to win. These men think they
have advices that justify them in backing
Maher.
There is very little Fitzsimmons money
hereabouts. The persons who want to he
behind Fitz are also small betters. Jimmy
Lynch, the 122-pound champion, bet Jack
Sheehan, in Billy Sexton's billiard rooms,
on Broadway, S10 on Fitz. Sheehan already
had $700 on Maher. Bod McMahon, Lynch's
backer, is taking the Maher end, and has
laid out $100. He has $200 more to go the
same way. At Warren Lewis' place there
are $500- of Maher money, which can be
taken at any time to-day. Steve Brodie
left SjOO to go on Maher.'in case he could
not get all he wanted in New Orleans.
Maher Reported All Right.
Billy Madden yesterday sent a telegram
to a well-known bookmaker in this city,
faying that Maher was all right. This was
in reply to the reports that Peter was "oil"
in his training. Jack Quinn, the Scotch
lightweight champion, who won ?2o0 on the
Lynch-Halligan contest, will put the whole
amount on Maher, but can't find a taker.
Dick Hoye, the Bowery restaurant-keeper,
wants to place $150 on Maher. Charley
Burke, from the same locality, has $100 to
bet on Maher, and Jeft Carpenter, of Delan
cey & Forsyth, will put $250 on the Irish
man. Fitzsimmons men are few and far be-,
twe'en when it comes to putting up cash.
MANY HOT FIGHTS ON.
The Mayoralty Campalcn but One of a
?umbr of Hot Allegheny Contests
The Strojglo for State Delegate the
-Warmest of the Lot.
The contest for the Republican nomina
tion for Mayor of Allegheny, while hot
enough to satisfy the most ardent political
worker, has not been allowed to throw a
shadow over the several other political con
tests in that city of politicians.
Besides this contest the Republican
factions are squared away in a
lively fight for national delesates. After
the withdrawal of Blaine from the Presi
dental race it was agreed among the South
side warriors that William Witherow and
John AV. Chalfant should without a fight
be sent to the National Convention. A
telegram from Senator Quay in Florida in
dicated that Mr. Chalfant would not be a
satisfactory delegate and Harry Oliver
was named as the man. The Chal
fant people are not satisfied
with the arrangement and their fight
is second only to the Mayoralty contest.
The fight for the Legislature in the two
Allegheny districts, with Senator Rutan
leading the anti-Quay forces and Messrs.
Marshall, McDonald and Robinson opposing
him, follows in importance and interest.
But the fight for delegates, to the Republi
can State Convention leads them all in in
terest It was reported yesterday that
in one election precinct in the First dis
trict $300 was placed in the hands of ward
woikers to carry the precinct. There are
bnt 90 votes cast in the precinct It was
also reported that in many cases in the
First district $50 have been paid for a sin
gle vote, and it is claimed that the fight
will cost one of the four candidates lor dele
gate at, the lowest calculation JGjOOO.
With all these fights now fairly on the
Republican politicians are reveling in a
bitter war and many of those who work
only during political contests are out day
and night serving their friends at the reg
ular rates.
The Allegheny Democrats have not yet
been stirred up to the fighting point Henry
Boker decided yesterday that he would ac
cept the nomination for Mavor. The Dem
ocratic City Committee will meet to-night
to make the nomination.
The Kennedy Republicans of the Second
ward, Allegheny, met last night at the ward
schoolhouse. Thomas A. Parke, Chairman
of Common Councils, presided. He denied
that he was not in earnest in his contest for
delegate to the State Convention, attd he
expressed confidence in his ability to win.

THE LAKE COMMERCE.
J ' " V
Prospects That the Great Stocks of
Grains to Be Moved Will
PUT UP IR0X 0EE FREIGHTS.
Ore Docks at Cleveland Are Being Cleared
Up in Erite Of
TEADli
THE GLOOMY OUTLOOK FOE THE
fSrBClAIi TILEGRAM TO THE DtqPATCH.1
Cleveland, O., March 1. The outlook
for lake commerce the coming season is
very enhmraging to vessel men, and they
confidently anticipate a profitable season.
The great stock of wheat in the Northwest
will provide more grain cargoes than in
any spring for many years, and freight rates
are correspondingly firm. Contracts for
wheat from Chicago to Buffalo at Zyt cents
a bushel have been made within a.few days,
and one , owner reports an offer of a 60
days' contract for wheat at i cents from
Dulnth. These figures make the rate on
ore firm at 51 from Escanaba to Ohio
ports, $1 15 from Marquetta, and H 25 to
Jl 35 from Ashland and Two Harbors.
While this is much better than contract
rates last year, it is actually from 4 to 8
per cent below the average contract rates
during the last ten years, and the
apprehension tthat the high ore rates
will chick sales of ore, which the
ore men here are urging seriously, accord
ingly seems to vessel owners to be a scare
for revenue only. However, the vessel
men fail to give due weight to the dull iron
situation. If it continues, it will undoubt
edly hannen that a very high rate on ore
will materially lessen sales.
At present the ore docks are being cleared
up in a very encouraging way. The past
week about 25.000 ton's were taken out of
Cleveland against little more than half as
much the corresponding week of last year,
and unless something happens to check the
present movement, there will be less ore on
the Lake Erie docks when navigation opens
than at any time for number of years.
A Larce Fleet In Readiness.
The danger to the ore trade from high
lake rates w ould be much ereater were it
not that the lake shipyards have been busy
all winter and will have launched a large
fleet by the time the season is fairly begun.
Forty-five vessels are building, 32 of which
are steel and 40 steam. Seven of these are
Government lighthouse tenders and will,
of course, not count in the freight
eituation, but the remainder includes among
others two immense 5,000-ton freighters
built by the Globe Works here for the
Minnesota Steamship Company and a num
ber of large "whalebacks."'
The average size of the bulk freight ves
sels launched, on the lakes increases each
year, the notable feature this season being
the greater breadth of beam. Both the
Minnesota steamships referred to above are
45 feet beam, while bnt one or two o'f the
vessels built last rear exceeded 40 and none
were over 42. Until deeper channels are
secured by Government improvements,
greater breadth of beam is the only means
lelt of securing vessels of larger carrying
capacity, the narrow river ports making
greater length objectionable.
The greatest development in the Lake
Superior iron districts continues to be in
the Vermilion range. An Immense new ore
dook is being built at Two Harbors, at a
cost of (125,000, lor the Duluth and Iron
Bange Railroad, and it is stated at least
400,000 tons more ore will be shipped from
that port this year than ever before
New Ore Docks of Great Capacity.
But this is not the only development in
that section. The Dulnth, Mesaha and
Northern road opens a comparatively new
district, and at the village of West Duluth
is preparing to build ore docks that will
rival those of any oi the other ore ports,
being higher than the highest at Two
Harbors, and costing in round figures ?200,
000. They will have the immense shipping
capacity of 1,000,000 tons a year.
No special boom is noted in any of the
other districts, though the general report
from each promises to maintain the output
of last season and perhaps increase it. It
seems likely, therefore, that the total ore
output this season will equal, if not surpass,
the unprecedented amount of two years ago.
One "of the most novel projects" reported
recently in connection with the lakes is that
of shipping coal across Lake Michigan in
coal cars on immense barges. The Hocking
Valley and Toledo and Ann Arbor and
West 'Michigan Kaihoads are said to be in
the deal, which contemplates the building
of four great steel tow barges oh which
loaded coal cars will be ferried across from
Frankfort to Keewannee, a powerful ice
crusher such as the St. Ignace at Mackinac
being employed to keep open a channel
during the winter. The project is generally
looked upon as a daring but rather promis
ing one.

The north coast is barricaded with ice. A
