posed.

Augusta, May 23.-Tbe Governor and
Council held session this afternoon and
evening and listened to one pardon hear
ing and the Searsport Municipal court
matter. The pardon hearing conducted

sentence for murder committed In 1854,
when he killed an officer who was search
ing his wagon for liquor. This petition
was tabled in executive session.
W. L. G. Runnels of Searsport appeared
and made an attack upon the nomination
Of j. W. Black as judge of the Municipal
court at searsport. He said that the court
was established for the purpose of the
prosecution of the liquor sellers and
claimed that Mr.. Black is not the proper
man for the position as he has bad rep
utation In executive session the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Black was confirmed.
The petitions for pardon of q. Howard
Park, who is serving life sentence for
murder and Rufus Brown who is serving
q sentence for larceny, were assigned for
the next meeting.

Washington, May 23-The matter be-
fore the cabinet meeting today was the

tied up and prevented from engaging In
international trade because 1t has no flag

The whole matter was finally referred
to Secretary Gage for solution.

heard 1t, n most Interesting summary OF
the situation In the Philippines. In the

most important contribution Is that oov-

Otis and Aguinaldo just preceding the
outbreak, showing conclusively that the

THE EXETER HORROR.
Continuation OF investigation by Cor
oner's Jury.

Reading, Pa. May 2S.-At todsy's ses-
sion of the coroner's inquest into the rail
road horror at Exeter station, Calvin H.
Lehser. the telegraph operator at Exeter,
testified that he displayed the red signal
to stop the express on orders from the
train despstcher's office at Reading.
The train arrived at $40 O'Clock. He
said:
"When the train stopped told Read
ing, NO. IL, the express, is here Wait
u minute Reading said and next I was
told, Let No. 12 co. and 1 gave the firs-
man the clearance card. The fireman
took the card but the collision occurred
before the train got away"
The second train came along at 8. 81.
Lesher said he never saw stop of this
kind before where no man was sent back.
Later he contradicted himself. So.
Harry Orrell, engineer of the second
sec ion, said his train was going about 40
miles an hour when he rounded the
curve at Exeter He saw two men on
the northbound freight track with white
lights and be took them for signals. He
was told after the wreck that freight
fiagman had been told to swing his red
light, but by mistake took his white
lantern. Orrell was about 400 yards from
the first section when he saw the order
board at Exeter. He could not stop in
time as the first section was then back
ing.
Engineer Orrell's testimony was the
feature Of the day. Orrell is still suffer
ing from injuries received in the wreck.
He was recalled several times. OF the -four
to wers between Reading and Exeter, he
said all showed white lixhts except the
second, the white Indicating clear track
The second tower showed green light
which was a signal to run With caution
He was running the train on special
sch ed ole furnished to him, which showed
that he was to run at least five minutes
behind the train. The time on the sched-
ule showed that he was to reach Exeter
at s 40 o. clock. The train was four min
utes behind time but he did not know
til at the express was also late. If he had
been informed of this fact, he said, he
would not have run SO fast. He had no
knowledge of the accident to the coal
train and claimed that II the express
train had not backed and he had beeu
given the proper warning, ne could have
avoided the accident.
Train Despatch,r James j. Rourke of
this city, asserted in his testimony that
Orrell ran his train in o reckless manner
and that through his recklessness the
col iision resulted. ROurke's statement
ere ated a sensation.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 23.-This was
q quiet day with the Presbyterian as
sembly. 1t transacted q deal OF routine
business without friction and adjourned
early in the afternoon to view me Minhe,
apolis suburban lakes and Minnehaha
falls. The McGiffert case and the Peoria
overture will soon come before the assem-
bly,. In the McGiffert matter, the CON-
mittee on bills and overtures is consider
ing two reports and 1t is likely that they
will be presented as majority and minor
ity reports. One is understood to favor
invite him to re-cast his theology on
Preaby terrain lines or else resign without
furrhar discussion. The other. 1t Ia said,
looks to DR.. McGinert's Involuntary
withdrawal from the church at the earli-
est possible date. But the New York
Presbytary wants no more heresy trials.
The Peoria overture has strong backing
ing debate. Liberals in Chicago policy
are expected to unite their forces in sup
port of the Peoria method of appointing
committees by the assembly instead Of
by tho moderator.

mittee of aid to colleges and

MCFARLAND WON.
Given Decision Over Spike Sullivan I'm
Sensational Fight.

New York, May 23.-After 25 rounds of
fast and vicious lighting at the Lenox
Athletic club tonight, Kid Mcfarland
WAS given the decision over Spike Sulli-
van.
Going into the fight on the short end
of the betting, Mcfarland completely up
set the calculations of the sports. He
bested his man at every point and minis
tered to him the most severe punishment
that Sullivan has ever received In his
puQiiistic career Despite the terri ibls
punishment sullivan showed remarkable
rscuperative power and often came back
surprisingly strong. The men fought as
If they had a grudge
1t was contest replete with sensa-
tions and the large crowd that filled the
auditorium of the club house was on it's
feet yelling half dozen times. MOZART
land was o big favorite with the crowd
and they cheered him with q partiaanship
that was often unfair. The men
fought underlQ ueensbury rules with the
understanding that each must protect
himself in the break away. And as q re-
suit Referee White worked almost as hard
as the principals. The men clinohed re-
peatedly and constantly sought to hit in
the clinches. Sullivan seemed to keep
land s mouth aud Mcfarland often had
the appearance of hitting his man while
holding him. 1t was only by the great.
est care ON Whites part that the men
were kept from making their fouls palpa-
BILE. Mcfarland won BY the use of his
wonderful left arm. 1t WAS serviceahle
from every conceivable position.
Whilelhe was not at all times the pa ce-
maker, he seemed ever anxious to go to
his man. Sullivan, on the other hand,
demonstrated inithe earlier rounds OF the
fight that he was going to end the contest
with one punch from his right He
swung 1t, crossed 1t, and hooked with 1t,
but either failed to land with 1t or it
was Intellectual.
Later in the fight he brought his left
into use and twi CO 1t came near win
ming him the contest. Sullivan's face
was badly cut and he had Jumps over
both of Ills eyes His body was also red
and showed the pummelling that 1t had
received. Mcfarland showed very little
punish ment and came unmarked and
comparatively fresh from the ring. Sulh-
van attempted to claim the fight on a foul
the tenth round. He asserted that he
had been struck in the abdomen. His
claim was disallowsd and disp:oved by
the activity he displayed few minutes
later. The men were both In excellent
form and II there was any advantage 1t
was with Mcfarland, for he seemed
stronger man in the clinches.
