SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-James ].
Corbett and Thomas Shar key met this
afternoon and signed articles of agree
auspices Of the National athletic club,
on Wednesday evening, June "a. The
contest will be fought under Marquis of
Queensberry rules, with five-ounce
gloves, the decision to be made by a
referee to be selected at the ring side.
Corbett is to have fifty. per cent of the
gross receipts. If Sharkey should gain
the decision he will receive thirty five
per cent of the net proceeds, and if it is
declared draw the Marine" will re-
ceive twenty-five per cent of the net
proceeds.
IN speaking Of his match with Shar-
key, Corbett said: There is no reason
On earth why I should take any chances
in a matter of this kind. 1t would be
ridiculous for me to put myself on an
equal footing with Sharkey When
consented to meet him I told the direc-
tors of the clublthat l would not guaran-
tee to put him out in four rounds. 1t
would be foolish on my part to make
such a statement
"If Sharkey knocks me out. of course
he will get the decision. It's quite use
less to state in cold print that 1 I'm going
to put him to sleep before the time
limit. No one knows what may happen.
But there is one thlng tnat VIII guar
antee my friends and that is that Mr..
Sharkey win receive a good punching.
If he is still on his feet at the last call
of time it will not be my fault
Now, I will just tell you why I am
going to meet this man. It's to show
the people that I'm better man today
than I ever was. I want to prove in
positive manner that all this talk of my
backward slides is bosh. 1 assure you
my friends will have no cause to regret
the step that I have taken.

SWEDISH LUTHERANS
Matters Decided at the Final Session of the
Synod


OMAHA, June s. The final session of
the Swedish Lutheran synod was held
this evening. 1t was decided today that
none of the schools of the various con-
ferences should be allowed to erect
buildings, extend courses or take other
important steps without first obtaining
the consent of the synod This ruling
Will effect two schools in Minnesota,
one in Brooklyn, one in Chicago. one in
Lindsborg, Kan, and another in Wahoo,
this state. The same ruling forbids any
confecence from establishing any new
school without the consent of the synod.
1t was decided that the money to pay
off the indebtedness of the theological
seminary at Rock Island should be rails
ed through the conference. 1t appears
that originally every individual men,
Der in the conference was taxed %
cents a year, the money to be collected
annually until the debt of the seminary
was raised. Some of the members had
fallen behind in these payments. 1t was
therefore decided that the remaining
debt of s67, 900 should be distributed
among the various conferences in pro-
portion to the amounts they owed the
synod by failing to pay their individual
assessments. Each member in each
conference is also taxed 25 or Is cents to
pay the running expenses Of the insti-

SAN FRANCISCO, June S.-There
were several very racy developments
during the hearing of the Ashley
Baldwin case, which was resumed be-
fore Judge Slack today, when Detective
). H. Wood was placed upon the stand
Tor the defense and the fair plaintiff was
presented to the court in a DECIDEDLY un-
favorable light.
The whole of the morning and part of
the AFTERNOON sessions were consumed
IN the cross examination of the wit
ness, John Osborn, the Oregon farmer.
Attorney Crittenden questioned Osborn
about his letters to the plaintiff and ex-
tracted the admission that the witness
hau tired to carry out his correspond
ents challenge to see who could write
the most ardent love letters and Miss
Ashley Uttered audibly when her former
admirer stated hesitatingly that he did
not write so ardently as he knew how.
lie could not recollect, however the
terms with which he addressed her, nor
how many love letters he had written,
but thought it might be ten or twelve.
Detective Wood testified that he first
saw the plaintiff on June 90, 1893, when
ne met her by appointment in the ladies'
parlor of the fremont hotel in Boston
for the purpose Of ascertaining what she
wanted with Col. Alfred A. Pope AS
she was hysterical and attracting atten-
tion, he induced her to accompany him
to his office and told her that he had
received information to the effect that
she had threatened to see Mrs. Pope and
tell her that the colonel had ruined her
unless he settled a comfortable income
upon her.
Miss Ashley stated that If she had
money she would go out to town near
Los Angeles in California and buy a
small place, where she could live with
her mother very comfortably. and the
witness thereupon made another ap-
pointment with her for the next day.
Meanwhile he communicated with Col.
Pope and Attorney Redding, and when
she called upon him next morning he
asked her how much such place as she
referred to would cost She replied that
she considered $4,000 sufficient. The wit
mess then told her that while his prin-
cipal was under no obligation whatever
he had given him authority to do as he
deemed best. He would, therefore, buy
her such place as she wanted, if on her
part she would give Col. Pope written
release from all claims and return his
letters to her. Wood afterward came
to the conclusion that Miss Ashley was
trying to blackmail Col. Pope and he
declined to have anything to do with
the matter and advised the colonel to
revoke his gift of the Pasadena place.

that Germany had secured every conces-
