T. C. WALKER DISASTER.
Inquiry Into the Cause of the Ex-
plosion Begun at San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-United
States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers,
Messrs. Bolles and Bulger, began an in
quiry to-day into the causes of the
fatal explosion on the river boat T. c..
Walker at Stockton Slough on Sunday,
November. 9th. The pilot and engi-
neer of the vessel testified this morning
as to the amount of steam pressure on
the boilers on the day of the accident
Their evidence showed that the boilers
were tested to stand 100 pounds pres
sure, and that on the morning of the
accident only 100 pounds of steam pres
sure were indicated on the gauges.
The inquiry is upon purely technical
lines, and but few of the passengers
who were on the Walker will be caller
as witnesses.
The testimony of Assistant Engineer
Murray, who was on watch, and Fire
man Cassidy, who had just gone off
watch, was to the effect that there was
a leak in the steam drum Murray had
previously reported this to Chief En-
gineer Henry, who was killed, and was
told that it would be repaired on Sun
day, the day of the explosion.
It was shown that the boilers of the
Walker lifted water badly at the end
of each week before the Sunday wash
ing. on account of the accumulation of
dirt. This occurred when the engine
was working at full speed, and shifted
the water from one of the battery of
four boilers to the others.
The upper row of tubes in the star
board boiler We're found badly burned,
and the fusible plug in the crown sheet
melted out A careful inspection Of the
plug showed that not only the fnsible

BICYCLE RACES.
Scores OF the Fifteen Leaders at l
O'clock This Morning.

NEW YORK. Dec. 5.-A feature Of
the evening was to have been a five
mile exhibition by Eddie McDuffee Of
Boston. An unfortunate accident, how
ever, cut the exhibition short. When
McDuffee started to follow his pace
makers the regular six-day riders kept
to the inside of the track. After Nc
DufIee had gone about mile a tam
dem which was to have picked him
up at the Fourth-avenue end of the
garden slipped down the incline Of the
track, and the riders were thrown in
a heap. One of the pacemakers, w.
II. Hicks, fell against post and re-
celyed a severe cuts on the head.
Miller, one Of the six-day men, ran
into the tandem and was thrown from
his machine He was not badly hurt.
McDuffee was knocked against Teddy
Hale's wheel and dislocated his right
thumb.
Pierce, who was in fine form, broke
the record before 10 o'clock At that
hour he had ridden 419, one lap, $50
yards better than the record made by
Waller in last years race for the same
number of hours

metal, but the BRASS was melted, and
the section of an upper tube introduced
in evidence was blistered and CORFU
gated by intense heat
The explosion was evidently caused
by low water, which barred the tubes
and crown sheet of the starboard boiler
when the water lifted, or when the boat
was listed by freight, and the return
rush of the water ruptured the already
weakened drum.
The investigation will be resumed to-
morrow
The California Navigation and I'm
provement Company to-day filed in the
District Court of the United States a
petition praying the court to fix the
limitation of liability in the case Of the
steamer j. D. Peters. The appraisers
appointed were James Sears, Mathew
Turner and Alfred E. Pryor, who, hav-
ing examined and appraised the steamer
as she now lies, after being raised and
towed to Stockton, less the cost of rails

money collected on the voyage was pas

message.
When the House reconvened after the
recess, the committee appointed to wait
upon the President apDeard and re-
ported that they had discharged their
mission and that the President had said
that he would communicate with Con-
grelss Immediately in writing. Dingley
had hardly made this report before Ma
jor Pruden. the Presidents Executive
Clerk, appeared and announced the
message of the President. The seal of
the envelope in which the message was
contained was broken by the Speaker
himself, and it was immediately laid
before the House. The members on
the floor and the spectators in the gall
leries then settled themselves and gave
the reading earnest attention.
The Presidents review of the causes
leading up to the war, the manner in
which the preparation for hostilities
We're made and the succession of vic
tories on land and sea were listened to
with rapt attention. The other pro-
visions were followed with almost as
much interest. There was no express
sion of approval or disapproval
throughout the reading.
AS soon as the reading was concluded,
on motion of Dingley, the message was
ordered printed, and then, at $50 D.
M, the House was adjourned.

Carried Unconscious From The Ring, His
Seconds Failing to Rouse Him..
Larry Becker Receives a Terrible
Beating at the Hands of George
MeFadden, His Face Being
Mashed to a Jelly When the
Referee Stopped the Brutal
Contest.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-George Nc
F'adden and Larry Becker, lightweights,
fought at the Excelsior Club rooms at
Paterson, N. J., tonight, and as a re-
suit Becker may die. He was uncon-
scious at 1 O'Clock. Fifteen hundred
people witnessed the exhibition. The
referee stopped the fight in the seven
teenth round and gave it to McFadden.
Becker dropped like a log the moment
the decision was given, and was carried
to his dressing room, while MeF'adden
quickly dressed and left the club house.
He could not be found when the police
searched for him later Becker re-
ceived a terrible beating, and after the
tight his seconds, who worked over him
for an hour, failed to rouse him from
his stupor.
Ihe men were weighed 12S pounds
each. Becker, who acted on the ag-
gressive for the first few rounds, showed
remarkable aptitude for hitting and
getting away. He was applauded
again and again, while McFadden only
smiled and bided his time.
The battle waged fast and furious up
to the ninth round, and then Becker
weakened. In the eleventh round Nc
fadden began rushing. He kept Becker
on the defensive throughout that round
Becker hit little after that but attempt
ed to shield his face from the hammer
blows from McFadden. The latter
rained blows on Becker's face and body
in the sixteenth, and the bell was all
that saved the latter from defeat them
He had to be assisted to his corner.
When time was called Becker stag
gered to his feet McFadden went at
him, hitting right and left on the body
as he pleased. Becker's face was mash
ed to jelly. Blood ran down his face
and filled his eyes. Some of the spec
tators turned away their faces.
McFadden had aimed a smashing
blow, which was intended for the point
of the chin, and proved knockout,
when Referee Howard rushed between
them and threw up McFadden's arm.
At the same time he announced Nc
Fadden the victor.
DR.. H. A. Harris, who was called to
see Becker before he was removed from
the club rooms, said his condition was
very serious.

witness of the bout except his seconds

BECKER PLEADS GUILTY.
Comes to the Conclusion Not to
Again Stand Trial for Forperv.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The trial
Of Karl Becker the forger came to a
sudden conclusion this morning
Soon after Judge Wallace had taken
his seat, Peter F. Dunno arose and ad-
dressed the court. He referred to the
great length of the time his client had
been confined in the County Jail await
ing trial, and concluded with the re-
mark that Becker had concluded to
withdraw his plea of not guilty and
plead guilty.
The change in the plea was then re-
corded, and the charge of a former con-
viction was withdrawn.
Judge Wallace set next Friday as the
time for passing sentence.
After the Becker case was disposed
of the Creegan case was taken UP and
put on the calendar, to be set for trial
next Friday.
Inquiry was made of the police as to
the disposition of the Creegan case, and
it was learned that it was the intention
to let the leader Of the forgers off with
a light sentence of perhaps two years
in the State Prison.
