Forbes, OF Chicago, in the second round
before the New Broadway A. c., to-
night, The men met for 20 round
bout at 11S pounds, Marquis of Queens
berry rules. but NcGovern outclassed
HIS opponent.
McGovern opened on the aggressive
with Forbes backing, and the Chicago
boy made two circuits OF the ring be-
fore a blow was struck. Forbes landed
first, sending left to the face, TO when
Terry sent back both hands to the
body. Forbes led left to face again,
but went to a clinch and as they broke
Terry sent his left over to the jaw
Forbes kept backing away for two
more circuits of the ring and finally
led, but failed to land, and McGovern
sent right to body, forcing Forbes into
a corner, where he drove both hands to
the wind and caught Forbes on the jaw
with right.
After a little fddling in the second
round Forbes landed clean left on the
face, getting away without a return
Then Terry jumped in with right
swing on the jaw, which sent Forbes
to the floor, where he took advantage
of the count, getting up as the referee
said ten They then rushed to a
clinch, Terry pounding hard with both
hands on body and head, but could not
beat Forbes off, the referee having 70
separate them after much difficulty.
FORBES rushed Terry to the ropes, where
both INDUCED in terrific infighting.
Forbes was not nearly as strong as Nc
Govern, and soon showed that he had
enough of this close work. He backed
away, but Terry went after him vic
lOusly and caught him with both hands
pm the head. Then with a terrific right
hand uppercut which landed flush OF
the chin, McGovern dropped Forbes to
the floor and the westerner's seconds
threw uD the sponge. Forbes was hope
lessly knocked out.

A nice solitaire diamond-say from
one-haH to two karats in weight-will
have more effect upon your sweetheart
than months CT persistent wooing. It
will be substantial evidence that you
are in earnest. Perhaps you can't af-
ford to buy one from ether dealers, but
il you get prices from John Becker &
Co., No. 1921 Jacob street, the girl will
get the ring, and you will have the sat-
isfaction of knowing that you bought
a gem that is just as represented, and
you were not paying an enormous profit
to the dealer. Becker & Co. offer bet
ter diamond values, size, quality and
price considered, than any jewelry
house in the city. Diamonds never
lose their value. Have one mounted
in a stud, ring, a pin, earrings; have
several mounted in a brooch, or clus-
ter ring, and you will not have occas-
ion to regret your investment.

ITALY'S CABINET RESIGNS.
Scrap Over Minister'S Action in Max
ing Public a Secret Document.

Rome, May 4.-The Italian ministry
has resigned. The resignation of the
ministry is the sequel to a scene in
the chamber of deputies Tuesday. In
the course of a prolonged and Animal
ed discussion regarding the govern
ment's foreign policy, the minister for
foreign affairs, Admiral Canevaro,
created a lively sensation by produc-
ing, in response to the attacks upon
his policy at San Nun Bay, an Of
fetal letter signed by Count Benin
Longare, under secretary of state for
foreign affairs in the cabinet of Mar
quis Di Rudini, and addressed to the
then minister of marine, SignOr Brin,
requiring him to initiate some action
that would secure for Italy a station
in China. This letter showed that the
leaders of the present opposition initi-
ated the policy which they are now
criticising Admiral Canavero's action
in making public a secret document
evoked sharp comment from Marquis
Di Rudini, Signor Crispi and other
leading members Of the chamber OF
