It was generally expected\nthat they would be matched this\nevening for a limited round or finish\ncontest, but after parleying for over\nan hour Martin Julian and Tom\nO'Rourke failed to agree on a date\nand the negotiations fell through.\nJulian immediately began to arrange\na bout between Fitzsimmons and\nJefferies and soon had the matter\nwell in hand. Jefferies was represented by J. P. Eagan, who acted\non behalf of W. A. Brady, who is\nnow in San Franciswo. The meeting was attended by a large\ngathering of sporting men and newspaper representives. Julian arrived\nlate in the afternoon from Detroit\nbut prior to his arrival O'Rourke\nannounced that he had signed Sharkey to meet Tom Mitchell of England\nfor a purse of $1 i,ooo, the bout to\nlake place before the Bolingbroke\nClub, of London, May 29. Julian\nopened the proceedings by stating\ntbat he was ready to match Fitzsimmons against Sharkey and was\nanxious to have the contest take\nplace as soon as possible before the\nclub offering the largest purse.\nHe stated that the conditions\nshould be Marquis of Queensbury\nrules to govern with the exception\nthat there should be no hitting in\nthe clinches or breakaways. No\nbandages were to be worn by either\ncontestant and the men should box\n25 rounds if the contest occurred in\nthis state, but if a club could be\nfound which would offer a larger\npurse than any other, and a finish\nlight could be arranged, then the\nprincipals would accept that offer.\nHe said that Sharkey could not\nmeet Fitzsimmons before November next. Julian then said he\nwould extend the time until June.\n\"That is impossible,\" said\nO'Rourke, \"as Sharkey will meet\nMitchell in London on May 29.\"\n\"You had no right to make that\nmatch.\" was Julian's hot retort.\n\"Well, we a e out for tbe money,\"\nsaid O'Rourke, \"and you would\nhave taken the same offer if it came\nyour way.\"\nA war of words ensued, during\nwhich O'Rouke said: \"Look here\nJulian, I'll put up a forfeit ol $10,-\n000 to bind Sharkey to meet your\nman in November and you can\nmake any matches you see lit for\nFitzsimmons in the meantime.\"\n\"I know your reasons for not\nwanting to light now,\" said Julian.\n\"Well, I can tell you,\" replied\nO'Rourke, \"1 know Sharkey is improving while Fitzsiminons is standing still, and as your man has not\nfought in two ycass, I feel that\nSharkey bas a right to dictate terms\nand should get until November.\"\n\"My money has been up for a\nlong time, and yours has only up\nfor a couple of days,\" remarked\nJulian.\nMore followed. Julian made\nseveral references to tbe meeting of\nI'itzsimmons and Sharkey in San\nFrancisco, and finally said:\n\"I drop all negotiations wilh you\nand Sharkey and will take on Jeffries.\" J, P. Eagan representing\nBrady stepped forward and said:\n\"Jeffries will meet Fitzsimmons on\nthe terms you have just stated but I\ncannot cover your forfeit of $2,500\nuntil tomorrow morning.\"\nJulian assented and agreed to\nmeet Eagan at the Union Square\nHotel tonight to sign the articles.\nIt was mutually agreed that the\nchilis that wished to bid for tho contest should have two weeks to do so\nuud the bout will take place on June\nsixth.\nMartin Julian representing Robert\nI'lUsluiuiouS aud It P< Kazan, rep\nresenting W.

II- -Tbe public accounts\naud estimate! were placed on the table of\nthe Legislature today. They show a\nvery favorable state of affairs, though\nthe expenditure is somewhat In excess of\nth* receipts:\nThe first public political gathering in\nconnection with the contest for the seat\nin the Provincial Legislature, vacated\nby the resignation of Hon. J. Fred\nHume, was held in the Hume Hotel\nHall last night. The large attendance\nwas an indication of the interest being\ntaken in tbe campaign, despite the fact\nthat matters political have been apparently very quiet. Mr. Farwell and Mr.\nHume both received flittering receptions, and with the exception of an ac-\ncasioual interruption by some one in\nthe audience who knew no better, the\nmeeting was a very orderly one.\nDr. Forin presided and with him on\nthe platform were lhe two candidates\nand Messrs. Frank Fletcher, W. A.\nMacdonald, S. ti. Taylor, James Wilkes and E, V. Bodwell. While speak-\nrs of bolh candidates were supposed\nto received impaitial treatment from\nlhe chairman, the friends of Mr. Far-\nwed were invariably cutoff when their\ntime limit had expir* d, while, on the\nother hand, Mr. Hume's supporters\nwere permitted to continue as they\npie sed. In ju-tice to Mr. Hume's\nspeakers it is fi*ir t'< \ufffd\ufffdny that the blame\nI tor the treatment ot the opposition\nspeakers alone attaches to Dr. Forin.\nthe chairman.\nMr. Hume was the first speaker.\nHe was pleased to mret the electors of\nthe Nelson Riding. He explained why\nhe had resigned his seat. He had been\nadvised by some of the solicitors whom\nhe asked in regard to his standing that\nlhat he was secure in his seat, others\nhad told him there was a doubt and he\nbad determined to return to the electors of Nelson Riding and again ask\nfor their support. He waa well bc-\nc|it inled with Mr. Farwell, for whom\nhe had a great deal of respect, but he\nlelieved he had been forced by others\n1.0 enter the field aud this against his\nbetter judgment. He had entered the\n11 Id, however, and the contest was on.\nHe (Mr. Hume) had beeu acoused of\nbjiug a tool of Mr. Martin. This he denied most emphatically. He had never\nbeen under the control of Mr. Martin or\nany other man. Referring to the Placer\nMiuiug Bill, Mr. Hume acknowledged\nthat he had fathered it. If any blame attached to any oue because ot its passage\nihe blame attached to him. Mr. Hume\nreferted to the Chinese and Japanese exclusion bills and argued to show that\nthoy were right and proper. He referred\nalso to the matter ot the Land Registry\noffice in Nelson and explained why lt'.had\nuot yet beeu established. He said he believed appropriation for tbe erection of\nthe building would appear in the estimates this year, but did not make any\npromise or definite statement to this effect.\nMr. Farwell followed Mr. Hume. He\nexpressed his pleasure at tho opportunity offered him ot addressing so large a\nI meeting of t he eleotors, He was pleased\ni hIho Iiiiii tin- campaign up to date had\nj been a dean ono. He did not believe io\nluudslinging or in personalities. It was\nsimply a question as to whether he or\n! Mr. Hume could better serve the inter-\n.- .!:* ..liln\" Nelson Hiding. If the pen-\nplu believed that Mr. Hume was tbe man\n', who could best lepreBent them they\ns could vote for him, but if they believed\nshut he, (farwell) would serve their in-\ntc rests better, theu they should so cast\nj their votes. For himself, however he\ndid not think the return of Mi. Hume\n1 would be conductive, to the best interests\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of the Hilling.\nMr. llunii\" had acknowledged that\nhe had been the father of the exclti-\nI sioti act and this Mr. Farwell thought\nj very bad legislation. It was simply a\nforerunner of the inclusion of aliens\nf 1 (im quart, milling and already the\neffects of it are being felt. Outside\n' capital hud been intimidated and\n' Kootenay would suffer.

It may have\nits party preferences, but if so it is\nsuccessful in concealing- the:n. Its\nmission is commercial or mercantile\nas is sufficiently indicated by its full\ntitle, The Monetary Times, Trade\nReview and Insurance Chronicle.\nLike every other well informed journal it follows closely all events oi\npublic interest; and often finds it\nnecessary to comment on them.\nThe legislation against alien placer\nminers in this Province is a case in\npoint. Of the expediency of it, so\nfar as it effects our own interests,\nthe people of British Columbia musi\nof course, be allowed to be the best\njudges. But if opposed to the larger\ninterests of the Dominion as a whole\nthe question or its disallowance\ncomes up, and the right of the Federal authorities on the matter\nis not open to dispute. Therefore Mr. Martin is clearly in the\nwrong to defy that authority as he\nhas done.\nThis impartial, non-political journal goes on:\n\"By reflex action the British Cc-\nThe Miner has every reason to\ni believe that the story of the North-\nI in 11 _t\neast Kootenay nomination, pub-1 **-*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd '\nlished in yesterday's issue, is the L^,,-- Roll of Gloryj\ncorrect one.

The election clerk was\npresent during the hour, but refused Q^qq ftftft PoC_et\nto reeoer.ize the friends of lhe\nopposing candidate.\nThere can be no question, in view\nof these circumstances, that th\nwhole affair was a trick to cheat the\nOpposition out of a nomination. I\nis a new kind of election fraud, and\nfor unscrupulous boldness beats the\nrecord. That the Legislature will\npermit Mr. Wells to take his seat is\nquite expected. The Legislature\nthat seated Mr. Prentice and Mr.\nDeane is capable of doing anything;\nno iniquity is too great for it. But\nthat Mr. Wells will ba permitted to\nretain his seat by the courts is not\neven supposable. In the meantime,\nhowever, Mr. Martin, the promptor\nand instigator of all these outrages,\nwill swagger before the country with\nthe pretence of a majority.\nBritish Columbians must conclude\nby this time that they are being introduced to new methods in politics,\nas startling as they are disreputable.

What may be the\nrelative vaiue of the two privileges\nthus taken away, we are not to consider. The fact that a privilege\nis taken away from Canadians, in\nAlaska, by the action of the British\nColumbia Legislature stands out\nboldly in relief. Here is an injury done\nto Canadians as a whole by the action of one Province. The right of\nthe injured to look for redress to the\nOttawa Government is clear; and if\nthe exercise of that right should be\ndemanded, that Government would\nfeel the necessity of finding some j\nmeans of giving relief. That it \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nwould proceed to an exercise of the\nveto at once is not probable, nor \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ndesirable. But in case of inveterate\nobstinacy on the part of the Province this reserved power might,\nhowever reluctantly, have to be\nused. The British Columbia exclusion law could easily be evaded bj\nthe use of Canadian names in the interest of American operators. That\nit will be so evaded, if permitted to\nremain on the statute book, experience in similar cases goes to prove.\nThe law will, in fact, in its direct action be a dead letter; in its\nReturn'uig-Officer of Northest Koo-1 TT_Tr._nT_|\ntenay.
