Smith is the Victor Sui.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Gloon. Rior.
dan of San francisco and Billy Smith Of
Australia battled at the California club
tonight for a 81 200 purse, Riordan being
the favorite in betting. Smith forced
pace from start and while Riodan coun-
tered effectively at times, Smith, landed
clean hard blows repeatedly over his op-
ponent's heart. From the fifth to the
sixteenth rounds Smith kept ageressively
driving a lett for the jaw and planting a
right over the heart. He bled u little ct
the nose from Riordan's left stops.
Riordan's play seemed to be to wear
Smith out and from the sixteenth Smith
gradually tired. In the eighteenth Smith
was bleeding at the nose, but
in the twenty second he brought a
stream of blood from Riordan's
eye with terrible back
hand left. He continued to pound the
injured optic until Riordan's cheek and
chest were covered with blood. Smith
repeated his new blow at every opportun-
ity and in the twenty-ffth Riordan's face
and chest were covered with gore and the
mems gloves were slippery. Riordan
her went to the floor, remaining down
eight seconds and rose to be knocked down
again. In the twenty sixth Smith
smashed both hands INTO the injured eve
of Riordan. The scene was sickening
as game and bleeding Riordan struggled
about the ring, falling twice and rising
only to receive Smiths powerful upper
cuts full in the injured member. Ref
cree Cook then stepped lnto the ring and
awarded Smith the prize.

The TIIaen VIII Again.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 27.-After con.
sidering various other features in connec.
ton with devised trust of the Tilden
will the decision says that Interior pro-
visions cannot be eliminated from the
will without destroying the scheme that
the testator designed for the disposal OF
his estate. As the selection of objects of
the trust was delegated absolutely to trus-
tees, there Is no person or corporation
who could demand any part of the estate
or maintain action to compel the trustees
to execute the power in their favor, this
is a fatal defect in the will. The will of
the trustees is made controlling and not
the will of tie testator. Such authority
is in c~ontravention with the statutes of
wills

A Fatal Fight.

NEWPORT, Ark, Oct. 27.-The noe
turnal visits of a negro cook to the chicken
o Of Farmer Jasper Lockaby led up to
the shooting and instant death OF Dave
Owens, a white man at Rio Vista, yester
day. Rio Vista is a flag station on the
Bald Knob branch of the Iron Mountain
railway. Dave Owens vas a section
hand. Jasper Lockabv is a farmer at
the same place. Lockaby complained
some three months ago that the section
house cook, a negro, was stealing his
chickens. This angered Elige Owens,
the section boss. Since that time the
storm which eliminated in a tragedy was
brewing. Yesterday Lockaby and Elige
Owens met by accident and agreed to set
tie matters by having a regular knock down
fight. Lockaby was armed with a Win
chester, which he handed to his stsp-son,
with the remark. IF anybody interferes,
shoot him." Then the two men tackled
each other. Dave Owens did interfere.
He picked up two rocks. saying as he did
so, Let me at the --; | will settle
him." AS he raised his right hand to
throw the stone at Lockaby the latter
grasped his gun and quicker than thought
sent a bullet into the body o Dave Owens.
The bullet entered the lett side Just above
the above the hip and ranged downward
loding in the right pelvic cavity. He
died in a few minutes. Lockaby, who
has always borne the reputation of being
a quiet, peaceable citizen, walked six
miles to the nearest officer and gave him

WASHINGTON. Oct. 27.-The Telegram
which was sent by President Harrison to
Minister Egan on the 23rd inst after
recitingthe facts Of the assault on the
Baltimore sailors and the results of Capt.
Schley's investigation, says: You will
observe that the board OF officers elected by
Capt. Schley to investigate this affair re.
port that our sailors were unarmed and gave
no provocation; that the assaults upon
them were made by armed men, greatly
superior iu numbers, and as we must con.
clude, they were animated in their blood =
work by hostility to these men as sailors
OF the United States. You will also
notice the character that some of the

some OF them, took part in the attack.
And you will also observe that other
American sailors were, without apparent
fault, arrested and for some time held by
the authorities The friendly efforts of a
few OF the police officers to give succor to
our men furnishes the only redeemipp
incident OF this affair.

You will at once bring to the atten-

the facts reported to you by Capt.

preston of unfriendliness toward this
government which might put in peril the
maintenance OF amicable relations be

to future conclaves. The decree confirms
the exclusive right OF the cardinals to cleo,
