ECHOES OF THE FIGHT.
Flit Will Avoid Pugilism for nt t.enet
Two Years, i
Carson, Nev., March 19. Fltzsim
mcms, the new champion pugilist of
the world, took things easy yesterday.
In the morning he walked over to the
penitentiary and took a bftth, and for
the balance ot the day loafed around
the house. He looked In excellent
shape! and the pounding he received in
the ring Wednesday from Corbett did
not show to the extent that might
have been expected. Ills lower Up Was
cut quite badly, and was covered liber
ally with court plaster, but this was
the only thing about him that gave
any indication of the ordeal he had
gone through. One thumb was tied
up, and Hot) explained that he had
hurt it on Corbett's head in the first
round, and that it gave him much
trouble during the fight.
"There was no time during the
fight," he said, "when I was not con
fidant of winning. In the fifth and
sixth rounds, when they say Corbett
had me going, I had no doubt what
ever in my mind that I was going to bo
the winner of the right. After the sev
enth I kept getting stronger and fresh
er all the time, and he was getting
weaker. I knew that I could end the
fight with a punch or two when I had
a good chance to land on him, and I
knew I was going to outlast him
when it came to the question of en
durance. I knocked him out just as I
knocked out Sharkey, the only differ
ence being that this time I got credit
for what I did. I have shown that I
could tire him out If I had not a chance
to knock hlrn out, and of course I took
that chance.
Regarding his future movements Fita
said: "I have not decided Just what 1
will do, but one thing is certain, and
that is that I will not light any more
for at least two years. It has been at
least three years since Corbett fought
anybody for the championship, and 1
am not going into any finish contests
for two years myself. During that tlmg
I may decide to fight again, and I may
not. It all depends upon how I feel.
I am getting along in years, and two
years more on my present age will
bring me not far from 40, and that la
rather a mature age for any man to
engage in a finish contest. However,
I will not say now what I will do. 1
shall pay no attention to the challenges
made by Goddard, Mitchell and Shar
key." Fltzslmmons will lpave Carson for
San Francisco tonight, and will give
an exhibition In that city tomorrow
night.

Is to be genuine relief extended to these
people there certainly mutt be much more
work of a more earnest ehstacler than is

strikes the mind of those Who at engaged in
tlm noble, but somewhat tUtcon raging work.
It is written by Ilev. A. if, atrlukas, the

"A. M.'illLUSKAS."
Tho generous personal donation comes in
excellent timo to servo as an inceutlvoto
others to display a charitable spirit, as the
rellof station is now sorely in need of help.
Last night sixty families were given aid
there and they reduced the stock and funds
in hand so much that the distributing com
mittee was almost tempted last night to close
the station and keep the door closed until
sucli time as tho donations should assume
a more healthy shape, but it was
finally decided to open the station
again to-night and dispose of what remains
on hand, and then close the doors until
further notice. The ontire supply of flour
has beon exhausted and there is practically
only a supply of potatoes on hand. The re
lief extended last night was principally
through orders issued on stores and they
havo multiplied to such aii oxtent that tho
distributing committee fears it has exhaustod
tbo funds in tho bauds of the treasurer nnd
will issue no more until tho general committee
meets aud a recapitulation can be made.
The general committee will hold a meeting
in tho Council chamber at eight o'clock
to-night and it Is hoped members of all tho
sub-committees will be in attendance. The
committco on entertainment will hold a
meeting at tho samo place' just before the

The anthracite trade is in a somewhat
firmer condition, aud, as our reports have
shown during the past three weeks,
mere nave been indications of a re
turn of strength to this important industry.
Thoro is no longer tho rush to sell at any
prico; in fact, the sales at present are in very
small lots, and it is a fact that the restriction
of the supply to the market requirements
has been better maintained during the post
six weeks than has been usual in recent
years. It is this which gives that strength
which is noticeable to the market, and so
long as that view is taken by certain of
those who are in control, there will be better
results in the price realised. When it is
possible to bring the dosen persons who are
at the head of the producing companies, to a
unanimity of action, then there will be an
ond to tho destructive competition which has
been noted in recent years, and this fuel will
be sold at a price commensurate witli its
value. A proper regard for the law of supply
and demaud is all that is needed, ani con
certed action upon this point is imperative.
Wo see no reason why the coal that is to bo
disposed of this year should not bring to its
owners a higher range of values than was
tho result of last year's transactions. It is
bettaiXar tho miner, the earrisr, the whole
saler and tho retailer that this bo attained-' '
and maintained.
