After a little preliminary discussion Mitchellansounced that he was willing to concede that the winner shoul! have vil the stakes. The statement was greeted with profound satisfaction as it disposed of the only objection in the way of a fight. Mitchell said that as Corbelt seemed determined to win or lose all, he (Mitchell) would not let his print stand in the way of a match being arranged. He intimated that he thought Corbett was obstinate only to make it appear that he (Michel) did not want tò fight,

Supe intendent Byrnes' action was discussed, and it was decided as a safegused not to sign articles at present and to withdraw the money held by Dicki so. Accordingly each man withdrew his $10, 00. An agreement was then drawn up that representatives of each side should meet on Saturday, February 25th, at g a.m., on the Cand an side of Niagara Falls, and there deposit the stakes and sign articles."

Mitchell and Brady affixed their signatures to an agreement. It was understood that the arrange- ments as made on Friday, in reference to the fight, should be considered as binding. There was some talk of increasing the size of the stakes. Michell said he was perfect y willing to make the stakes $25,000 each. If Corbett would so Superintendent Byrnes says he will not permit any further progress of preparations for the Corbett-Mitchell fig in this city and threatens to real concerned if any further attempt is made here to consummate bat:le arrangements.

LONDON, February, 19'8. The evidence taken at the Board of Trade ir quiry into the loss of the Anchor Noe steamer Reumanta on the coast of Spain in October last, fully justifies those whose persistence forced the department to investigate the disaster afer k bad actually refused to act. It has been ascer tained, viitually beyond a doubt, that most of the lives lost would have been saved if the officers had done their daly and if there had been no cowardly, helpless Lasers among the crew.

For at least half an hour after striking, the steamer lay upon an even keel, quite stiff and with no sea wasbing over her, but. no attempt was made by anybody in help the passengers, The only life-belts the ship had been stolen by the Laicats, and the only boat launched was got out secretly by the same cowardly wretches. The passengers were kept below in ignorance of their peril and were ultimately drowned like rats

In a cage.

Efforts were made at the inquiry to arcertain the company's savings in wages by employing imported Lascars instead of British seamen, but the Board of Trade officers and the company's 'officers, "pparently working in unnatural union, effectually busked all questions directed to that

end.

It is being ing on intrigues against Driish India and arranged that all Irish opponents of home rule Afghanistan,

shall simultaneously withdraw their deposits from the Post-office savings banky and purchase arms to be used in case physical force should become necessary to prevent the assertion of Irish home rule.

The grand master of ceremonies, by accident or design, placed Sir Robert Marler, the British Embassador, immediately after the Ameer, whereupon Sir Robert bounced indignantly out of the zoom, saying that the representative of the Empress of India could not possibly give precedence to a third-xate Asialle prince who

was also a vassal of the ↑ zar.

On being informed at this the Czar sent this message to the Embassador: "His Excellency forgets that the Amter is our guest and that we are accustomed to treat our vassals with a courtesy which the English are not in the habit of extending to theirs,"
