YOUNG WOMAN IN 4 SAD PLIGHT.
Fanny McPherson of Worcester Pleads
 Guilty of Theft in New York.


 New York, June 20.-Hanging her head and apparently overcome by the shame of her position, Fanny McPher- son of Worcester, Mass, who confessed to having stolen $500 worth of clothing and silverware from the apartments of Mrs. w. C. Wooley at the Hotel Gerard, was arraigned before Magistrate Went worth in the West Side police court to- day. She entered a plea of guilty and was held in $500 for trial. Neither friends nor relatives appeared in court, and the young woman apparently did not expect any. When the judge finish ed with her case Fanny turned her back on the crowd and with face to the wall stood choking and sobbing. I'm gull ty; I did it and I'm willing to take my punishment" she said. "I didn't do it for myself, but for another. He told me I must get him some money and l thought he had paid my hotel bill. l would never have come to this if my folks had not been so strict with me. They are good church people It was my disposition to want a good time and have fun. They were hard on me" The one thing that seems to trouble the girl is her future after she leaves Auburn prison, to which she expects to be sent. A description and a photograph of her have been sent to Providence at the re- quest of the police there.

M1UER WHIPS MORRISSEY.
The sInvincible" Irish Champion Put
 Out In Thirty five Seconds.

New York, June 20.-Peter MaherS the Irish heavyweight, scored a quick recov- cry over his fellow countryman Mlke Morrissey of Tipperary, before the Len ox Athletic club tonight. Morrissey was heralded as an invincible lr1sh champion. but he quickly proved to the thousands of onlookers tonight that he had many superors Maher sized his man up quickly and went for hirn straight way. There was apparently no fight in the new conner. light punch on the breast and a light cross on the Jaw were the only blows struck and these were delivered by Maher The blow that Maher landed on the jaw was insufficient to knock out any man.
 Maher entered the ring accompanied by Peter Lowrey, Peter Burns and this brother, Jim Maher. He weight lI4 pounds and looked fit and well. Mike Morriseey had a retinue of handlers when he reached the ringside among whom we're Prof Jimmy Deforest, Bob Armstrong, Butch Joyce and Kid Broad. Morrissey said he weighed 1S2 pounds. The moment that the men shaped it was clearly evident that Morhssey was afraid and that Maher had the easiest task ever given him in his fighting ca reer. Both fiddled for a few minutes and then Maher went right to his man with left lead which landed lightly on the chest and sent his right over to the jaw Morrissey fell in neutral corr ner and lay there resting on his right elbow while Maher struted about the ring until Referee White counted off ten seconds. Maher then walked to his cor
 her and the master of ceremonies an- nounced that Maher had won. The time of the bout was thirty-tive seconds.

 Cuvervt11e.

Paris, June 20.-On the instruction of the minister of marine, M. Lockroy, Vice Admiral de Cuverville has trans- ferred his command to Rear Admiral Mallarmo.

ARBITRATION IN NAME ONLY
WEAK PLAN TO SAVE PEACE CON-
 GREsS FROM FAILURE.
Belief That Such n One Will be Agreed Upon to Meet the General Demand OppositiOn of Some of the Powers More General Than Appears on the Surface.

Surface.
 Washington, June 20,-Private advices received here from high authority are to the effect that the conference at The Hague probably will be redeemed nom- inally from failure through an agree ment on an arbitration project that will satisfy the apparently general demand on that point, but which at the same time, by carefully framed safeguards, will so narrow the field of matters that may or must go before the arbitration tribunal as to make it little more than arbitration in name. The attitude of Germany is said to be only a little in advance of that of some of the other powers, after all, in opposition to the plans submitted, and the disaffection Is more general than appears on the sur face As for the other projects that were especially desired by the Ameri- cans, such as protection of individual property from seizure at sea, they have been lost, according to the report.
