Erne attempted right and left swings
for the head, but missed and Cans sent
right and left to the body. Erne jump
ed with left to the body and right to
jaw. Erne came like whirlwind,
starting Cans with left swing on the
jaw and both went at it hammer and
tongs till the bell separated them with
Erne having the call by long odds.
Round 12-Erne opened with left
smash on the eye, and followed with
one on the othtr optic. Then he smash
ed his right to the stomach and Cans
started towards Franks corner, stag
gering blindly. He dropped his hands
to his sides and Referee White seeing
that the negro was in distress, caught
hold of Cans, who said, I'm blind. I
can't see any more" White threw up
both hands and told Erne to go to his
corner. Then White led the colored
man to his corner and for the first time
saw that Cans left eye was out of it's
socket. "Erne wins" shouted White, as
Dr. Creamer jumped into the ring and
replaced the injured optic. MY right
did the trick said Erne, as he left the
ring, and the Buffalo crowd carried him
to his dressing room.

INTERNATIONALLY CHESS MATCH.
British Get First Blood but American,
Seem TO be Ia Lead.

New York March 23--In the interna-
tional chess match which opened to-day
only two games were brought to con-
cusion before adjournment. hampton
at board eight mismanaged the defense
and lost pawn at about the same
time that Pillsbury placed one to his
credit Jacobs kept up steady press
ure from then on and succeeded In
bringing the game to a successful issue
by 4;30 O'clock, thug scoring first blood
for the British. A short time afterward
a second game was wound up when
Newman at board nine declared a truce.
Eight games were left to be resumed
tomorrow morning. On these accord
ing to expert opinion, the Americans
have a decided advantage. Showalter,
Barry, Hymes and voigt and probably
Belnar will in all likelihood place their
games to the credit or the American
side and not any of the other players is
in any danger.
The prize at stake is the challenge
trophy presented by Sir George New
ness, the well known patron of the
game in England. Four times has the
cup been competed for and up to date
the honors are even. The cup is at
present held by the Brooklyn Chess
club. Three successive victories must
be achieved in order to secure, the per-
manent possession of the Newness prize
in general by to-day's results,
America seems to be in a fair way to
accomplish this

STARYING IN PUERTO RICO.


Ponce, Puerto Rico March 23.-The
situation here is now more serious than
it has been at any time before or since
the terrible hurricane. In many places
the poor are starving. The prices of
rice, beans and Goldfish have increased
from so to 100 per cent Demonstrations
against the delay in the United States
in settling open questions have recently
been held not only at San Juan, but at
Mayaguez, Yauco, Arecibo, Aguadila,
Fajardo, Juana Diaz, Guayama and at
many other towns. The people are un-
able to understand the delay; and they
condemn the Americans ndiscriminate-
ly Bad feeling is arising which it will
take years to overcome. Even riots are
threatened. Trouble is about inevitable,
unless the tension Is relieved. Even
wealthy land owners cannot command
ready cash; and many Americans are
pennless and would be glad, to work
for their board.

PUERTO RICAN RELIEF BILL.


Washington, March 23.-The senate
to-day adopted the conference report
on the Puerto Rican relief bill by vote
of 35 to Is, practically strict party
expression No democrat voted for the
report, but Mr.. Stewart of Nevada vot-
ed with the republicans The time of
discussion was consumed principally by
Mr.. Tillman, dem. Of South Carolina,
who made fierce attack on the meas
ure as agreed upon in conference and
accused the republican senators and the
republican party of indirection, hypoc-
risy and dirty work" His speech was
quite characteristic, and was listened
to with interest by his colleagues on the
floor and the people in the galleries.
Mr. Gallinger, rep. of New Hampshire,
followed with temperate statement
of those who not only favored the re-
port, but the passage of the Puerto
Rican tariff bill. Mr. Spooner, rep. of
Wisconsin, closed the debate with a
forceful statement in opposition to Mr..
Tillman's speech in the course Of which
he took occasion sharply to criticise the
South Carolina senator for dragging
the measure into politics. His colo
qual tits with Mr.. Tillman were inn
mensely enjoyed by the auditors.

FOR ABElTING THE MURDER
KENTUCKY'S SECRETARY OF STATE
UNDER EY1MINITION.
Testimony Tends to show That the
Shots That Killed Goebtl Came From
the Direction of the Secretary's Office
No On', However, swore That They
ActunIlY Cumo From the Omre.

| Frankfort, Ky, March 23.-The pre-
| liminary examination Of Secretary of
State Caleb Powers, charged with abet-
ting the assassination of William Goe-
bel, began to-day before Judge Moore.
The court house was guarded by mil
litia and scores of deputy sheriffs, arm
ed with Winchester rifles to prevent
possible interference from mountaineers
who were reported on their way to
Frankfort The mountaineers failed
to appear and no disorder occurred
The witnesses to-day included Warden
Eph Li1lard, Detective D. E. Arm
strong, Sheriff Bosworth of Fayette
county, who arrested Secretary Pow
ers, and Captain John Davis, and Silas
jones' who is now under bonds, charg
ed with completely in the murder.
The testimony tended to show that
the shots came from that section Of
the executive building in which Sec
retary Powers office Is located. al
though nobody swore that the shots
were from the secretary's office. The
strongest evidence, perhaps, was given
given by Silas Jones, who was in Gov
ernor Taylors ante-room when the
shooting took place. No evidence was
adduced tending to show that the de-
denfant was implicated in any conspir-
acy, but, in one of the frequent wordy
disputes between the attorneys for the
defense and the commonwealth, the
fact was brought out that r. Wharton
Golden, who is said to have made a
confession, will be put on the witness
stand before the hearing ends Prose-
cutting Attorney Polgrove said tonight
that sufficient evidence had already
been heard to warrant holding Powers,
but that the case would be much
stronger before he got through. Former
Governor Brown, for the defense ex-
pressed himself as well pleased with
the situation, regarding the evidence so
far as decidedly weak. 1t is probable
that all of the witnesses for the prose-
cution will be heard by tomorrow af-
ternoon.
An incident occurred during the day
that showed the feeling and also how
the people are prepared for emergen-
cies A soldier in the rear court yard
droppd his revolver on the stone nag
ging and it exploded. In an instant
every man in the crowded room was on
his feet fully a. third of them with
their hands to- their rear pockets.

Church Much Good.

Buffalo, March 23.-Bishop Charles
H. Fowler of the Methodist Episcopal
church, speaking of the week of fast
ing or abstinence or prayer of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which will
extend from March 25 to April /, in
elusive, said:
Each person makes his own inter-
probation of abstinence. Give us spir-
itual power and all the hindrances from
alcoholism to amusements will soon be
run from the field. Methodists must be
known as representatives Of the power
of grace and must be ready for every
thing. Each pastor is expected to fol-
low that order of service next week
which he thinks will be most helpful to
his own congregation. This week will
steady our ranks and stiffen our stay
ing power and keep the coming general
conference from irreparable blunders.
We want at least to have 100000 con-
verts in the next two years"
