HARRIS COUNTED OUT
JOE WOLCOTT'S WOULD-BE CON.
QUERER DRUBBED.
The Dasky Pugilist Knocks the Game
Gothamlte Out In Six Sharp
Rounds-Hsrris Badly
Punished.

Boston, June 22.-Two thousand spec
tators at the casino tonight saw Mike
Harris of New York, the much-lauded
conqueror of Joe Wolcott, counted out
after an unmerciful drubping by his
dusky opponent.
The fret round was all in favor of the
black man. There was a question of
how long Harris could make his tricki-
ness stand him in stead to avoid pun
ishment. He slipped to the floor three
times, but always managed to get up in
the required 10 seconds. Neither man
did much except run, but what was
done was on the darkey's side.
In the second round Wolcott started
in to finish his man. He chased him
around the ring, swinging right and lett
In rapid succession. He was over
anxious, however, and IN one of the
rushes received a stiff left-hander on
the jaw which brought him up with q
jerk. The colored man. however, rushed
him to the roDes, getting in two herd
ones on the jaw and body. The gong
saved Harris.
The third round was but repetition
OF it's predecessors. Wolcott did all the
leading and furnishing.
Harris started off we'll in the fourth,
landing on the darkey's mouth. He
tried it once more, but this time Joe
caught him hot one in the stamach,
and when he doubled up he received
another left full in the face. 1t looked
in the fifth as though Harris wanted to
stop, for twice did he drop to his knees
without being hit. He succeeded after
getting three or four punches on the jaw
and face, in keeping out of the negro's
way until the call OF the time keeper
sent them to their corners.
The sixth and last round was rapid.
O'Rourke told his man to bring the
thing to close, and this he did with
rush. He followed Harris about the
ring, landing right and left so fast that
the spectators could not count them.
After Wolcott hit him terrific one on
the jaw, Harris fell to the floor and
remained there until counted out.

ARMoR PLATE FRAUDS.



Doetorsd.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-Charles 8.
Craig OF Edgewood Park, Pa, was today
before the congressional committee in
vestigating armor plate frauds. He was
associated with O. E. Sill in giving the
information of the Irregularities at the
Carnegie works. His evidence was much
like that given by Sill and corroborative
of it. He testified that he made reports
of the work on srmor plates from the
workmen's states, giving the actual
work done. The reports were submitted
to Superintendent Kline, who changed
them to bring the work within the gov
ernment contract. The altered reports
were then furnished to the government
officers.
Craig gave from his note book list OF
armor plates which had been doetored
after they had been turned over to the
government as test plates. He gave de
tails of the re-treatment of each plate.
Many of them we're re.treated after the
government had rejected them. Craig
testified he had been instructed by
Superintendent Kline to burn the
original records showing the real work
done. Craig said that while assistant
heater he observed much surreptitious
work on plates.
He gave the technical details of these
Irregularities. This was done without
the knowledge of the government off :
GERS, and was to deceive them. The
capacity of the Carnegie works were not
sufficient to do the work properly. He
had heard Kline complain to Assistant
Manager Hunsiker that more forces were
necessary. Mr.. Craig identified a num-
Der of alterations in reports made by
Superintendent Kline.

people near the levee, and hundreds of
them are fleeing. The water tonight is
higher than it has ever been. and still
rising. 1t is probable that the city will
be inundated before morning.
A deep, swift current is now flowing
over Griswold park and the adjoining
residence portion of the town. The
water is rising rapidly, and another two
feet will send it sweeping down Main
street. The lower floors of many houses
are already under water, and people are
excitedly loading their property into
boats,
The great rain of yesterday has swol-
len all the streams of this section, and
most of them have broken over their
banks. The farmers have already sui
Tered an immense loss through the de.
struction of their crops and stock.
at midnight tonight the water is
higher than it has been since the great
food of 1887. The body of man with
a trunk and valise foated under the
ago, and it is supposed the rise caught
him while he was crossing the stream.
The body could not be rescued at that
hour.
Reports have come in from the country
to the effect that many houses are under
water between here and Hutchinson,
and the loss of stock and grain is very
large. One farm, six miles north of
here, has had 81 hogs swept away and
lost ak head of cattle.
The stock yards in this city are com
pletely under water.
1t is reported at l o'clock this morn
ing (23d) that the water Ia about to flow
into Lawrence avenue. this city. The
Seventeenth-street bridge is in great
danger, and if it collspses it will proba-
bly, cause the destruction of eleven
bridges below it. Reports from the west
say another body of high water is COM
ing down, and the people are greatly
alarmed.
The heaviest rain on record fell all
over Southern Kansas today, particu-
lsrly in the counties constituting the
cern belt. The rainfall in this city, &C.
cording to the government test, was 4.07
inches for Is hours, while the heaviest
rain heretofore has been 3.19 inches in
"a hours.
