Corbett Acquitted In Short Order By Florida Jury
Jacksonville March 1 The jury found James J. Corbett not guilty of violating Florida prize fighting laws. Judge Phillips instructed that consent in a boxing match could excuse assault and battery if no bodily harm occurred, while a fight causing harm could still lead to conviction. Mitchell, present, hailed the verdict as a de facto acquittal and plans to press no further cases. The outcome prompts possible nolle prosequies for related cases and a celebratory mood among sports figures.

Henry Clews Sees Silver Move Toward International Talks
Henry Clews writes that Germany’s stance on silver foreshadows a likely conference of nations to regulate silver as money. Since Brussels, India halted free coinage and the Sherman act persists in the United States, leaving silver without a sponsor and drifting. An international agreement could lift world finances, raise values, and strengthen global ties through shared metal stability.

Bliss, Fabyan & Co and Dwight Manufacturing Company are among those discussed, with Massachusetts Company also named.
