The Texas traffic malingers are mani-
festing considerable Interest In the forth
eoniln ineiilng nnd a full representation
is looked for by the association One of
tho many lm > ortant matters to be con-
sidered Is the alleged discrimination of
railroads In fnvor of Kansas City as
against Dallas The test case to be heard
Ib tJiat of a Dallas farm Implement and
machinery house It being osaerted that
Kansas City enjoys a freight rate that
enables dealers In machinery of the class
mimed to store there fully 00 per cent
of machinery sold white the rates are
such to Dallas that only about 12i per-
cent cf machinery disposed of by Dallas
dealers Is shipped direct from Dallas Un-
balance being sent direct to the trade from
manufacturing points The Dallas mer-
chants assert tlrat It Is an unjust discrimi-
nation In favor of Kansas City and the
Southwestern Trtfflc association wilt be

Poised about at Mitchells training quar
tern today that thu Duval Athletic club
bad drawn up a new set of articles of
agreement and had submitted them both
to Coibett nnd Mitchell for their npprowil
Thorn in tides call tot a tight nt some
point In Florida nut to be nitde known
to tho principals or to the public until
twentyfour hours before tho light ramus
off and the club to have tho prlvllego of
changing the date from Jnnunry 25
Mitchell It Is milI refused to sign them
demanding nt least two weeks notice
nnd two weeks advertising of the time
and place The submission ot these Hew-
itt tides would nppenr to mean that the
Duvnl club bus serious doubts of being
able to pull oft the light on January
23 In this city Them wns a tumor today
thnt the club had stopped woik on the
arena in Hast Jacksonville but that la
not so Tho force of men nt work la not
large but It will be lncieaBcd after next
Wednesday so tho club officers say Alter
his tegular raining today Mitchell
weighed 1X2 pounds but It Is altogether
probable that his clothing weighing from
5Vi to o pounds would make his weight
stripped about I7C pounds It Is doubtful
If he gets below 173 pounds

Interview with your correspondent he
snld Two weeks ago I unnouneod my
Intentions of vitolng thin ordinance and
sinco then I have learned nothing ot a
nature to change my opinion In fact
I api more firmly convinced than ever
that this fight would be a great injury
to tho city nnd Slate Today 1 have
been asked n dozen times It e council
will pass the orrilrnnco over my veto 1
must say to you as to those who have
questioned ine before that I know noth-
ing ubout it My duty Is done when 1
decline to sign the otdlnuncu and give
the council my icasons thereforo Public
sentiment muy be behind me but my
conscience Is clear
A ennvnsa of the councllmen today
shows ten for It two opjioscd and four
noncommittal It loqulits eleven voles to
pass the cidliinncu over the veto vvhlcli
Is twothirds of thu whole l dy but of

tho inonsute twelve votes One or the two
oppoacd said tonight that It was losslblo
that action may bo deferred till a spe-

city ot Jacksonville Tho club today
wished to hingo this clause so as to havo
It lead that the light should occur within
tho Stale of Plot Ida
iho purpose of the club was that It
might be necessary to select any place tn
tho State where It was least likely to l > e
Interfered with by the authorities Wlwn
this situation of affairs was explained lo
Mitchell and ho was asked to llx hH name
to the appended articles of agreement
that worthv llitly refused to sign H
said ho would never put his namo to the
paper Milcss the site for the contest was
dWtnlte y fixed
Ilbiry Ma oit urged and expostulated
telling him that
with the HiwlWiniaii
tho chuiige was simply one of precaution
In view of the governors hostile attitude
but to no avail Mitchell absolutely re
tused In sign and Harry Mason returned
Jacksonville staggering under a load
to
of disgust It should bo remembered
that the original articles utlpu ated that
the light should ocour wilhln the State
of Florida
This was changed to within two miles
ot the rlty of Jacksonville at Mitchells
suggestion it looks now like Mitchell
nnver really desired to go up ngnlnst
the American thnmplon nnd Is taking
ndvatitngo of the difficulties under which
the cluo Is labeling under the hostile
nttltude of the State authorities to crnvv
Ti io manager ot the Athletic club nro
In n bad state of mind tonight nnd nre
toasting tho Englishman In sulphuric
Manager llowden said tonight to tho cor-
respondent of tho Southern Associated
Press that he would go lo St Augusllno
tomorrow Inking along representatives or
the piess and force Mitchell to sign Iho
arlleies or brand him to tho wotld as Imv
Ing shown tho vvhlto fonthcr
The second sensation of Iho day In
sporting circles was Hie action of Solicitor
Christie representing the Slate In refus-
ing to proceed this inoinlng In the case
against Corbett und Mitchell It h well
understood tliit Christie was forced to
this action by tne govemor who charged
collusion on tho putt of the Duval offl
clols and when tlu oases wci biought up
It Is ald that Clirlflllo had rewtved op
Intimation from the executive thit If the
cases were noi dropped he Christie
would lose Ills official liuail Christie did
not have enough sporting blood in stand
the gubernatorial K1 and so lie dropped
the cases Christies announcement in
court that no Information had been filed
against Corbett and Mitchell meant piac
tlcally that the easo against them had
been nolle prossed It knocked the pins
from under the dub so far s testing the
law In relation to prlre fights Is concerned
has depended upon tills lest case
The
to put tho lighters beyond arrest Ao it Is
tho
now the lighters con be arrested at
last moment and of course everybody
thai arrest at that time menus
knows mi
that the fight shall not take place unless
tho club ties Iho hands ot tba sheriff so
not touch them Th members
that he can
of Uio club however In spite lit tho fall-
Ing through ot the test enso are showing
that If the
no signs of weakening and say
be Induced to sign the
13ngll man can
amended articles they will yet pull oft the
contest In Florida
