test was spirited from the beginning.
The first five rounds were marked by
hard hitting. right and left. both men
landing freely on the face and body,
and several clinches occurring, but II
could not be said that either man had
the advantage. In the sixth round,
after exchanges of lefts on the face,
Dixon put his left on the face twice
more and then an exchange of body
blows followed. Dixon bled Lavack's
nose with a hot left drive and followed
up his advantage by hitting Lavack
on the nose four times with the left

During the thirteenth and fourteenth,
Dixon repeatedly landed his left on the

was unable to get back at him. The
nfteenuh, sixteenth and seventeenth
rounds were slightly in Dixon's favor,
and in the eighteenth and nineteeth
honors were even.
In the twentieth round both jabbed
lefts on the face nd Dixon uppercut
with his left on the body. Dixon swung
his lett on the head and sent a straight
left to the face. He swung his right
on the head and Lavack let go with his

A Defense of Insanity.

Cincinnati, April 22.-The trial of
Scott jackson, charged with numbering
Pearl Bryan. moved in a gallop to-day.
Six witnesses were examined in the
forenoon and four in the afternoon. The
purpose of the examinations in the
forenoon was to establish the identity
of the headless body found near Fort
Thomas as that of Pearl Bryan and to
prove that she was murdered at the
very spot where she was found. The
identity of the body was strikingly
proved by the abundant evidence that
the bloody dress was Pearl Bryan's.
also the shoes, the stockings, the hat
and the blood-stained underwear. A
peculiar feature developed to-day in
the policy of the defense to not cross
examine witnesses. The only sugges-
ton of an explanation of this policy is
that the defense of insanity is to be
set uD.

Washington. April 22.-The confer
ence in the interest of international
arbitration met here to-day. Gardiner
G.. Hubbard called the conference to
order and ex-Secretary John w. Fos-
ter was made temporary chairman.
Foster addressed the conference in the
interest of the settlement of all inter
national questions by pacific arbitra-
ton rather than by arbitramenc OF
war. The committee on permanent or
ganization reported for president Hon.
George f. Edmonds, with a list OF
vice presidents representing nearly
every state in the union, including the
following: For Montana, w. II. De-
Witt; Nevada, j. w. Adams; Utah,
George O. Cannon; Washington, Gov
ernor McGraw; Wyoming, Governor
Richard
Mr.. Edmonds was escorted to the
platform and made a graceful speech.
A letter was read from Andrew Carne-
gle, who referred to the movement as
1.-THE noblest cause of this generation"
and who, in a postscript, attentioned
the enclosure of a check for 81 900 to
help defray the expenses of the meet
ing. In the course of general business
John Deniphan of st. Joseph, Mo-.
created no little stir by moving that
Carnegie's gift be returned to him, ber
cause Carnegie had made his wealth
through contracts to furnish the gov
eminent with munitions of war. He
declared that IL would be humiliation
to accept Carnegie's gift. The motion
was buried under large majority.
The night session of the conference
attracted large audience. The
speakers were Hon. Carl Schurz of New
York, President Angel of the Michigan
university and Edward Atkinson OF
Boston
