The former has tho call among the sporting fraternity, bis chances of winning being looked upon as the most likely by tlio betting men hero.

Lawyer Kricnd, when seen at the St. James hotel, said: "There is no possible doubt of the fight coming off. Everything has been arranged as far as I know to tho satisfaction of both parties, and. speaking for Fitzslm-mons, 1 can tell you that be is perfectly satisfied to meet Corbett in Texas or any other place that the bout can bo brought off. "I have no doubt that Mr.

Stownrt and tho syndicate which he represents will be able to bring the bout to a successful issue. "It's dollars to doughnuts that the fight takes place, and the Dallas people are Anxious to seo tho better man win, and I think the referee whom wo shall appoint vrill prove satisfactory to the spectators and contestants alike."

He has the reputation of being a man of brilliant legal attainments and enjoys the high regard of the membors of the United States supremo court. The fact that Mr. Conrad comes from Virginia, however, may opeiate against his appointment, but lu case he Is selected, it is bclieveil that Mr. Chi, tho present assistant secretary of state, would bo a candidate for the vacant solicitor generalship. Mr.

Rochester, June 5 The Cyclones lost to Rochester yesterday, and by so doing went Into fourth plueo In the pennant race, Syracuse winning fnun Toronto. Til h'imf team put up a rattling good snappy game and surprised the 500 cranks who attended.

Tlere were many changes mad'- in their line up and it may be naid that they hud the desired effect. Warner, the new catcher, occupied first base and Hamburg went Into right field. Shinniek went back to second and O'Brien to third. Warner had command of tile forces and he Infused new life Into team. Duryea, who was fined and suspended for bis work In Unbox Saturday witli Buffalo, was again the game and was very much In evidence.

Tite twlrler was very effective and kept the bits of the Cyclones well scattered. Bttenus and leld were tin-only ones ho eorin-'ctcd with his curves to any extent and consequently when hits were tn-t-ded they were not forthcoming. The visitors put up a good game and but one error marred their work. It was made by Drauby at third. Shearin took In some extremely dirllou.it flies, but the inlleld bad the bulk of the work.

Wise recovered from bis bad attack of the day before and played brilliant ball. The Bisons scored in the third Inning, when Bottenus. Field and Shearon singled in succession and two runs were the outcome. It alarmed the fans greatly, but the streak was not a lusting one and IHir-yea. by his excellent control of th" ball, prevented any more run-getting on the part of the visitors.

Wadswor'b was hit rather freely throughout Die game and just at the opportune tine'. He was also very wild, and besides giving five men bases on balls he pitch-. 1 wild ball twice. The score and summary best tell the tale of the Cyclones' second defeat at the hands of the tail-enders: ROCHESTER. A.

The cnblcKrnm from Rome puts quite a different fnco on upposml removal of Archbishop Konrlck as nnrrated ytisturday. Tluiro hua been a mistake somewhere and ho way it nbuut is like tills: When proceedings wore recently instituted in the local courts in behalf of prominent Catholics, lay and clerical.

Aitcnmsiiop KENP.1CK. asking for tho removal of Archbishop Kcnrick from his trusteeship In the church property of tho St. Louis diocese Archbishop Kaln took a similar action In the ecclesiastical courts. Ho sent to the propaganda a petition setting forth the same condition of fncts narrated in tho prayer of the petitioners in ho local courts. lie further asked that tha old archbishop bo removed nnd that he be appointed archbishop of St.

Louis In his stead. There was a reason for this dual procedure. The local legal proceedings were Instituted to determine, first, that Arch-bish Kenrick held church property In the dioce.e tif as a trust; second, that ho was mentally incapacitated from administering tills trust; third, that a new trustee bo appointed. The hitch entno In at tho last point. "While Archbishop Knm was mere coadjutor archbishopof Sr.

Louis, even though appointed with the right of succession, he had no standing in cuurt overhls appointment as successor in the trust held by the archbishop, which in view of his position was optional with the Tho point was foreseen nnd Archbishop Kaln petitioned Rome to appoint him archbishop ot St. Louis. On May 2 he received a orlef ctiblegram from the propaganda stating time his petition had been received and favorably ticti-d upon. He took tills to mean that his request had been complied with. Whnt Archbishop Sars.

Loris, June 5. --Archbishop Kaln, who has been appointod to the see of St. Louis, was disinclined to discuss tho ro-tlrcment of tho venerable Archbishop Kenrick, whom he succeeds. Pwill simply state, said the archbishop, "that I have received Information from the proper authority, by cable, that I have been appointod archbishop of St. Louis de jura The ofliolnl documents have not yet nrrlvod from Rome, and may not lor some days.

When they come, they will be properly announocd. When askod If Archbishop Kenrick had been consulted on the matter, he said be could dieensa tho inattor no further, and retired. When the same iuestion was asked of a priest who is very near to Archbishop KalD, tbo reverend gentleman said: "I cannot gay positively, but I do not think lie was. do I think he has beeD informed of the appointment of Archbishop Kain, nor do 1 think he will be. I am Inclined to think that the old archbishop will be allowed to pass away still believing blmsolf archbishop of SL Louis, if be Is able to think seriously on the subject at all.

Officially, 1 presume, he will bo transferred by letter to tha episcopate of Urosa, to which ho was appointed when ho was first made lllshop Rosati's wdjutor." When asked if Archbishop Ryan's visit hero recently waa In connection with the appointment, ho said: "I think without doubt it was. Who was nioro fitted to report upon tho condition of Arobblshop Kenriuk and of tho dio- cose than Archbishop Ryan, who had been bore so long, and who was, you might soy, Archbishop Konrick 6 spiritual son? "Archbishop Kain's position has been a most delicate one. While be doubtless saw, did others, that something should be done, had he reported to Rome that he felt that bo should bo appointed and the old arohbiahop retired It might seem as though he were pushing hlmsolf forward. So, with tho carefulness the church always exercises, the man who was most qualified to judge and to treat Archbishop Kenrick with tho greatest cons'doration waa sent to Investigate. ArcbbiJLop Kaln'a appointment is the result You cannot say that Archbishop Konrick has boon deposed either.

He has simply been retired. To depose him would tako an official, ecolesiastlal ceremony, and that yon will never see." AfTfclri In Cuba.

M.sa Florence piayed part. Tho President, It is Confidently Declared, Has Decided on Him as Gresham's Successor. SO ANNOUNCEMENT AS YET. Mr. Orelnnd Waltlnj Until He Caa Find the Klglit Man for Mr.

Olncj's Place What Rumor Has to Say About It, Washington, June 6. There bo longer any reasonable doubt but that the president has fully determined to ask Attorney General Olney to accept the stato department portfolio. While this is an undoubted fact, it is also certain that the president has not eren intimated to Mr. Oinry that this was his purpose. To other members of his cabinet, however, It is learned that ho has stated in substance that he should ask Mr.

Olney to accept tho pla-oo, and that howasdelay-ing the public announcement In order that ho might at the same time name a Bucocsbor to Mr. Olney as attorney general. Persons in a position to know what the president's purposes are anticipate an parly announcement of Mr. Olney appointment, and probably that of his successor as attorney general. Utchard Olney, who is now in all probability to be advanced to the first place iu President Cleveland's cabinet, has won RICHARD 01.NET.

this distinction by the able service ho ha thus far rendered tho president on all the more important questions that have engaged public attention since the present administration began. Up to the time of Mr. OIney's first entering the cabinet ho had been content tc remain in private life, and although roc-otrnized as one of the foremost lawyers in New Kiiftlnnd, he had taken littlo or no part in party politics and was not widely known among publio men. The brilliancy of his legal attainments and the ccuracy of his judgment soon led tho president to trust Attorney General Olnoy's advice on important questions. During the greaTViriliO at OIney's services were particularly notable.

Ho doveloped each step that the government authorities took and President Cleveland was so fully convinced of the wisdom of the proposed policy that gave it thorough support and execution. Aside from the results secured in ending tho strike, the recent decision of the United States supreme court has given Judicial approval of tho course pursued by the government and has shown that while Mr. Olney sought new and untried means to meet a grave emergency, he moved strictly within the constitution and the laws. In this question Mr. Olney was impelled by a desiru to suppress disorder, lie had shown in another cose his sincere respect for tho right of labor.

This was in a case of the Heading railroad which sought to compel one of Its employes to either sever his connection with a railway employes' hcnellclal organization or the company's services. Although the government had no direct Interests in the case, Mr. Olney I secured the permission of the court to present a brief in behalf of the employes in which he hold that tho proposed action i of the company was against justice and I right. i The brief was marked by a vigorous de-1 fense of the rights of labor to organize in any way it saw fit for advancing its intcr-I ests so long as the members were peace- ful and within the laws. Not only has Mr.

Olnoy's advice been followed in the affairs iu the department over which ho has presided, but it has guided also in many of tlio other subjects of wide public concern, and it is now al- mot universally conceded that he is ono of the most thoroughly equipped men that i has occupied a cabinet position In many years. The new secretary of state comes from sturdy Puritan stock. His. ancestor, Thomas Olney, came from Kncland and settled at fcalem, in 1736. He waa one of the close companions of Roger William and was one of the 13 men who joined Williams in founding the town of l'rovidence.

The successive generations took high raitk in New Kngland affairs, one of them being attorney general of Massachusetts. The father of Richard Olney owned and managed the cotton mills at Oxford and also engaged in banking. His mother was a Sigourney, descended from French Huguenots, who tied from Krance to this country. The new secretary of state was one of three sons. One of" them is a prominent lawyer in New York, having been district attorney for the city and county of New tf York.

Another brother Is a successful wooien lnanuiaoiurer, Richard Olney wns graduated from Brown university in and from vh Harvard law school in )bo8. He married Agnes, daughter of Judge Benjamin K. Thomas, with whom he studied law, They havo lived of late years at Boston, with summer homes near Bitz-tard's bay and Gray Gables, the summer resident of the president. Mr. Olney is a gentleman of fine literary attainments and tastes.

Although close studens, he Is a lover of outdoor sports and is a good horseman, nn enthusiastic tennis pliiver nnd a skillful angler. He is a man or medium height and robust for.n. and in general appearacc he Conveys the impression of intense Vitality and physical endurance bey nnd tht of any man who has occupied the position of secretary of state In recent years, lhs ffloe is strong, keen and intellectual. Though his manner is somewhat reserved and austere he unbends readily to the approaches of intimate friends. Mr.

Oiney has fervid one term in the state legislature of and was an unsuccessful candidate for the attorney generalship of that state.

THE ALDERMEN COULDN'T BEAT IT, Trif it on the Myers Machino Tut CouUn't Change the Kesu't, Mayor Jewett is inclined to think that tho Myers machine would put a lot of First and Nineteenth ward statesmen out of a job at election time. The machine does Its own counting.

The Mayor told a NEWS reporter yesterday that when was tlrst talked of bringing the machine here for trial a down town Alderman boasted to him that he could beat it. "All right." said Mayor Jewett, "if you have one brought on and see how you make out." The machine came on and the very astute Alderman, who thought he could "do" any kind of an election that ever was held, tried hard for two or three days to beat the machine and failed. The Mayor is inclined to think that the machines would he a good Investment for the city. Mr. Myers has stated to the Aldermen that they will pay for themselves in three years and Mayor Jewett believes this Is true.

They will do away. It Is claimed, with one half the election districts and reduce the number of election clerks, and they will put an end to holding back districts. Within 3n minutes after the polls are closed the result will be known. Death or llarTr W. Curtis.

The protest was a lotiff letter from President K.

li. Thomas. His complaint is that the present plans providing for the closing of the streets north of Kxehan street will put the property of the road from lchian to Smith streets jn such a position that the company's business and the value of their realty will be Impaired.

The Commissioners discussed the petition of Mr.

Thomas at lenpth. It was finally decided that it would be impossible to grunt the request to keep the streets open unless the consent of the New York Central and West Shore railroads is obtained. The Commission and the Lake Shore are approaching the point of settlement. President Caldwell asked that the contract be amended so that Ued Jacket street be d-clured closed from Scutt street to the northerly line of the company's property; thai Alabama street be closed from Ex-chane street to the Hamburg- Canal, and that the proposal to put up a foot bridge at Fulton streer be abandoned.

Wort Fire Tver Known in the KrfrSon. Bradford, June 5. Merciful rains came to the rescue of the worn-out fire fighters late yesterday, subduing and putting out the frightful forest tires which have raped 'in MeKean and Klk counties since last Saturday. Never in the memory of the HvinR were they so fierce hereabouts before. The foliage throughout the woods, (Irst killed by the frosts and then dried by the sun, was licked up by the flames which spread through miles of these forests with incredlhle rapidity.

Russell City, reported Monday nlprht as destroyed, emerges from its fiery ordeal Intact. For hours It was cut off from communication with other towns and that was why it was supposed to have been destroyed. Telegraphic communication was reestablished at 7 o'clock last night. Its inhabitants fought the fire desperately all night, and this afternoon rain came to their rescue. Only two dwelling houses on the outskirts of the village were destroyed.

News also comes from Russell denying the report that Coon Run was wiped out. The telegraph operator at Russell pays that Coon Run was entirely surrounded by fire, and several buildings were burned, Including the Couii- Jtw4olKraph tn tUm- and the--Elk county pipe line tidewater pump stations, but the village Itself was saved. report confirms the earlier news, that the place was utterly wiped out. From Russell City to Coon Run the flames rolled above the treetops with a roar that could be heard for a mile. Tanks containing oil added energy to the flames, and a fierce gale was blowing.

Those who live In that section were driven in terror from their backwoods homes. Many were prostrated with the 'heat, but so far as can be learned there was no loss of lofe. Many animals, wild and tame, were cremated. Near Knapp's Creek, 12 miles northeast of Bradford, 150 oil well rigs were burned. These Include a drilling well which had Just struck the oll-bearlng rock.

The derricks were destroyed and the tools dropped Into the hole. The gas Ignited and at last accounts was still ablaze. Many wells that flow by heads Increased the fire's energy. In that district among the losers were T. Day, 21 oil well rigs; F.

F. Davis, Franchot M. Kelly, C. It. Hatch, T.

H. Kussell, 12; L. Shan-field, T. Burns, F. M.

Johnson, Crooks William Harris, J. Googe, George Dana, 8. The owners of the wells also lost large quantities of petroleum in tanks. At State Line, a small village on the line of the Western New York Pennsylvania narrow gauge, houses owned and occupied by J. B.

Campbell, Grant Smith and John Cordott weredestroyed. About 3,000,000 feet of lumber belonging to A. Rumsey Co. was consumed at Chipmunk. The lumber town of West Line In this county, 13 miles south of Bradford, was destroyed partly this afternoon.

The residents deserted their houses and saved what goods they could. The town Is in the heart of a dense forest, and news concerning the losses there is very meager. J. C. Campbell, a sam-mlll owner, lost his plant and several million feet of lumber and logs.

In the woods between Bradford and Klnzua the lumbermen lost heavily, but tonight's rain storm has put a stop to the flames. At Kanesholm, the Associated Producers' Company lot two oil well rigs. At Oil Valley four stocked coal-sheds and a large quantity of cherry and hemlock lumber were fuel for the flames. Schoonmaker Bullis' saw mill on the Allegany Klnzua road, west of this city, was a total loss. Two million feet of lumber belonging to Kennedy Davis of this city was consumed In the same vicinity.

In Rutherford Hollow, Brant Bauer, J. T. Jones and J. C. Greenewald lost seven oil rigs.

Bemis Son lost 6.000,-000 feet of logs at Augustln, Elk county. Many of the logs were piled up In a pond and were burned down to the surface of the water. The fires Btarting in so many placeB simultaneously gives credence to the theory that they originated from the rays of the sun beating down on the dried leaves and oil- soaked material and producing spontaneous combustion. The heat on Monday and Tuesday reached 100 degrees at the noon hour. No such fires ever devastated tho northern oil field.

It will be days before a correct list of losses may be obtained. STRXCTTY FERSONAI. Mrs, B. Z. Pompier and children of Buffalo are visiting Dompter's daughter, Mrs.
