POOR OLD JACKSON.

San Francisco. March s2.-Jim Jefferies
of Los Angeles easily defeated Peter
jackson in the third round tonight at
Woodward's pavilion. Jackson did not
make much of a showing after the first
round. He displayed some of his old time
cleyerness in ducking and jabbing with
his lett, but could not land hard enough
to stop the rushes of his younger and
stronger antagonist. Jetfries showed con-
Siderable cleverness using his hands with
both augment and precision. The second
round was lively until Peter got hard
left swing on the jaw which sent him
down on his back. He rose only to go
down again from the same blow and was
saved by the gong sounding time.
Jackson came up looking fairly fresh
in the third round, but soon received
hard left on the jaw which made him
wobble helplessly about the ring. An
other blow sent him against the ropes
where he hung, unable to lift his hands
Jeffries stepped back awaiting tho re-
covery of his opponent, but as Peter was
plainly out the referee stepped between
them and declared Jotfries the winner

MAINE POORLY PROTECTED.
Gov. Powers Says Portland is Only City
Having Coast Defences.

Boston, March 22.-The Journal tomor-
row will print interviews with the gov
ernors of the New England states on the
condition of the coast defenses, and the
spirit of their constituents concerning
the policy of the government in the
present crisis The statements are as fol-
lows.
Governor Wolcott said: 81 have now. as
1 have had from the beginning perfect
confidence in the administration in
handling this question at Washington
and In fortifying our seaboard. :"
Governor Powers of Maine said: "Ihe
coast defenses along the Maine coast are,
1 think, startlingly inadeq uate. tits true
work has progressed rapidly on the de-
fences in Portland harbor, and by this
time the oity may be well fortified, but
almost nothing has been done at Bath,
Rockland, Eastport, Boothbay, Biddeford
and Calais. These places. are perfectly
defenseless today. The people of Maine
are watching with great interest develop
ments from Washington. Should there be
war the citizens of Maine would respond

Boston, March 22--The morning session
of the Bran trial was devoted to the ex-
animation of William A. Mcdonald a
Halifax civil engineer, who presented and
explained various plans and drawings Of

Mr. Mcdonald WAS then excused and just
previous to the noon recess, Lester H.
Monks was sworn.
When court opened this afternoon Dis.
triot Attorney Jones commenced the
direct examination Of Lester Fl. Monks,
the passenger of the Herbert Fuller. Mr.
Monks testified that in July, 1886, he
testified in Brookline and that for the
benefit of his health he engaged passage
on the Herbert Fuller bound for Rosario,
Argentine Confederation, South America.
He went on board at $50 o'clock the
night of July end and the next morning
the vessel left her dock and proceeded to
Nantasket roads where she was delayed
several days owing to head winds. de
explained the various apartments in the
after house of the Fuller and by whom
each was occupied. The room ne occupied
was between the one occupied by Mrs.
Nash and the chart room where Nash
slept. The Fuller finally proceeded on
her way after five days. Between that
time and the night of July IS witness
had several conversations with Bran
during which the mate complained that
Captain Nash was mean and did not set
a good table.
mr. yUitnnSQ on
deck. Captain and Mrs. Nash went below
and he soon followed, talked few
minutes in the chart room with Captain
Nash and then retired. Was awakened
about 2 a. M, by screams and heard q
strange gurgling sound coming from the
chart room. Took his revolver from I'M
der the pillow and went ont. The cot was
overturned and Captain Nash was lying
on the floor. Took hold Of his shoulder to
arouse him and felt something wet. 1t
was blood Thinking the captain had
fallen from the cot and injured himself
he decided to call Mrs. Nash. Went into
her room and found her dead. He then
went to the head of the forward conn
panion way and saw Bran walking on
deck. Told him to come down ct once,
Captain Nash had been murdered. Brain
picked up plank and hurled it him.
Witness repeated: "Come down here for
Gods sake, Captain Nash has been
murdered.
Bran replied, "No, no, no, no." Wit
mes then said "come down and see for
yourself. +"
They went through the cabin and to
Monks room Bran did not stop to see
Captain Nash. They then went on deck
and witness advised calling the steward.
Bran replied, mo, the second mate is in
the forecastle. The whole crew have
mutinied and would kill u.s.
Bran got his revolver and each with
revolver in hand they sat the remainder
of the night near the starboard rail. At
intervals Bran would cry and ask Monks
to protect him from the crew.
At five O'Clock, Monks not having COM
pleted his testimony, court adjourned.
