ERNE THE WINNER.
Given the Decision in Fight With

NEW YORK, May 9-There was a
large crowd tonight at the Lenox Ath-
letic Club to witness the twenty-five
round encounter between Frank Erne.
the Buffalo lightweight. and George Me
Fadden of New York City, who recently
lowered the co1ors of Joe Cans, the
clever BaltimOrean. The men weighed
in at l34 pounds to battle under the
Marquis Of Queensbury rules Erne was
the favorite at odds of 100 to 20.
In the first three rounds Erne was all
over the man. jabbing him with left to
jaw and sending the right to the stom-
ach and ribs, McFadden acting on the
defensive all the while McFadden.
however, awoke' in the next few rounds,
blocking beautifully and countering
hard with the right on the chest and
over the heart.
In the ninth round McFadden placed
his left repeatedly on Erne's damaged
optic, and did beautiful execution in
blocking Erne's lead.
Up to the twentieth round neither
man could be said to have a decided ad
vantage. Erne was continually on the
offensive McFadden still blocking
beautifully. ilss ssBE
The twenty y-second rouid was a beau
tiful exhibition of lightning drives and
clever blocking. Some hard blows were
exchanged, but the men We're judging
distance so carefully that little harm
was done until near the close of the
round, when McFadden received a Jolt
on the jaw which seLit him to the floor.
He arose almost Immediately, but Erne
kept after him. and sent three lefts to
the New Workers. head The round
ended with McFadden blocking cleverly.
The rapid work was kept up in the
twenty third, and in clinch Mac threw
Erne.
The twenty-fourth saw a continuation
of the rapid work, Erne endeavoring to
land a finishing blow but McFadden
blocked very cleverly.
In the twenty fifth and last round
Mac fought desperately, poking his
right to the ear, and blocking Erne's
right for the ribs. 1t was give and take
to the end of the round, when the ref
cree decided the bout on points, and

FRESNO, May 9.-One of the most
daring and skiLfully planned forgeries
ever committed in this county has just
come to light, and as result of the
partial Investigations that have been
made thus far w. E. Rushing is in jail
on a charge of "uttering a forgery"
which means passing a forged instru-
ment that he knew was a forgery.
The facts of the matter briefly stated
are these: Edwin Geddes who lives up
in the hills, had an account with the
Fresno Loan and Savings Bank,
amounting to between 81 600 and 81, 100.
Elmer Geddes ascertained that fact in
some manner, and coming to town in
the fore part of January he, with GER
tain other parties, it is believed, formed
plot to secure that money. The real
depositor wrote his name as "E. Ged-
des," which, of course, was the name of
the other Geddes.
Rushing secured a power of attorney
from Elmer Geddes. and upon that sold
the account to Nyman Levy, a clothier,
for 81, 1870 The forgery was discov-
cred Monday, when Edwin Geddes
called at the bank to ascertain how his
account stood Geddes, the forger, has
disappeared. Sensational developments
are promised

UNIVERSITY REGENTS.
Postpone Action on the Selection
of a President

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-The
Regents of the University of California,
at their meeting to-day, postponed ac-
ton on the selection of a President un-
til Friday afternoon.
The most important matter which
came up was that of the financing of
the University, which has been the
cause of the small economics insisted
upon by the Finance Committee.
This committees report shows that
there will be a deficit of $4,000 for the
next fiscal year unless something is
done to increase the revenues. In the
last ten years the revenues of the Uni
Versity have increased 33 per cent.
While the number of students has in
creased 400 per cent. In order to meet
the deficit, it is proposed to levy a
charge of tuition of 50 a term for all
students excepting those who receive
scholarships or others who may be in
Strengthened circumstances, limiting the
exceptions to $50 or 200.
Since the students of some colleges
already pay laboratory and other fees
amounting to about S31 a term, il is
suggested that these fees be reduced
and the expenses of the literary and
scientific courses equalized. No action
was taken.

Regents expense to select material for

NEALL CoURT-MARTIAL.
The Decision Will Probably Bt
Forwarded to Washington.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-Before
noon tomorrow the decision of the Pre-
sidio officers who constitute the court
that is trying Lieutenant Neall of the
Fourth Cavalry will probably be on its
way to the War Department for action
by the reviewing authority. The argu-
ment for the defense was concluded to-
day, and the Judge Advocate will COM
plete his statement for the prosecution
tomorrow morning.
Attorney Thornton's review of the
testimony was matter of 1900 words.
He contended that the charges of alb
sence without leave should be consid-
cred to include the other charges, and
that the defense should merely have to
concern itself with the penalty attach
ing to that offense. AS for the unpaid
Presidio Club bills, he said that Lieu
tenant Neall had merely neglected to
pay them promptly, and that there was
no intent to defraud the creditors.
The Judge Advocate insisted that the
charges should be considered separ-
ateIy, for the reason that each is seri-
Gus and involves the army's honor. He
reviewed the conduct of Neall immedi-
ately prior to his disappearance and
declared that the frequent excuses given
by him to his brother officers We're not
made in good faith.

A TENNESSEE MOB.
Fifty Masked Men Terrorize the
Citizens of Lebanon

LEBANON CTenn.). May "a mob
of fifty masked men terrorized this
place at an early hour this morning.
First the Jail was visited, and Edwin
Hodge, who is charged with attempting
to murder a white woman, was de-
manded.
Being assured by a search of the Jail
that Hodge had been spirited away to
safety, the mob turned its attention to
the city workhouse. There Bill IL
BILE and Leslie Higgins, two negroes, ae-
cused of attempting to force themselves
into Mrs. Mace's house, were confined,
and they were soon in the mob's hands

Situation at BIuefieIds Assuming
New Complications,
Each Of Which Renders the Outlook More
Alarming for Americans.
Unless the United States Makes
Some Strong, Decisive and Inn
mediate Stand Americans Will
Be Systematically Looted and
Driven Out Of the Country.

NEW YORK, May 1O.-A special to
the Herald" from New Orleans says:
A letter from the "Times-Democrat's
correspondent at Bluefields, received
tonight dated May Sd, says:
THE situation here is assuming new
complications, each of which renders
the outlook more alarming for Ameri-
can interests 1t is becoming evident
to everybody that unless the United
States Government makes some strong,
decisive and immediate stand, the
Americans will be Systematically looted
and driven out of the country. The
exact character of the so-called COM
promise arrangement effected by Min
lister Merry with the Nicaraguan Off
cials is as follows:
''First-The duties demanded on goods
received during the Reyes revolution
are to be deposited in trust with Mr..
Bingham, British Consul at San Juan
del Norte, subject to the decision of
the American and Nicaraguan Govern
ments, said decision to be reached
within four months from date.
'.All goods now in embargo to be re-
leased and the merchants to be reim-
bursed for any DANA ges the consign-
ments may have received. In the event
the issue is decided in favor of the
Nicaraguan Government, no penalties
are to be exacted for failure to pay
the duties on demand.
This arrangement is very unsatis-
factory to the merchants, for the rea-
son that their case rests entirely upon
their ability to establish existence in
BluefieldS of government de facto
at the time the duties We're originally
paid. Their claim is that the insur-
gent party did constitute a government
de facto, and the assertion is unques-
tionably true, but whether they can
succeed in proving this in the face of
the crowd of witnesses President Ze-
laya is sure to have on hand is ex-
