CAMS KNOCKS OUT H4UKIYS.
Two Rounds of Very Fast Fighting
Taken TO DO the Job.

New York, May 25.-Joe Cans Of Bal
tlmore knocked out Dial Hawkins of
California at the Broadway A. c. to-
night in two rounds of the fastest fight
men were scheduled for twenty-five
rounds at 1873 pounds and both men
scaled the limit. Hawkins assumed the
aggressive at once and sailed in on his
man with both hands. He smashed the
Baltimorean with a left hook to the
chin just after they put up their hands
and dropped him.
1t looked as if<the affair was all over,
but Cans took the count of nine and
got to his feet. Hawkins followed him
fast, but Cans was all there with his
blocks, and in a fierce mix-up at the
ropes sent in right swing to the jaw
that fioored Hawkins.
Again it seemed that the result was
reached. Hawkins was certainly out,
but struggled to his feet at the count
OF nine. The lighting was furious to
the sounding of the bell In the second
round the men continued their rapid
pace. Cans had Hawkins guaged, how
ever, and easily avoided his terrible
rushes and swings, and after one min
ute and fifteen seconds of slugging
Cans landed the punch that did the
rick. In the preliminary Jim Burke
If Brooklyn received the decision over
George Jansen of New York after twelve |
'ounds of clever sparring.

"SPITE-H0USE' MAN,S WILL.
Decision Iii rming the One Executed on
April ga, 1899.

New York, May 25.--Surrogate Fitz-
geralds decision admitting to probate
the will which Joseph Richardson of
Spite House fame executed on April
"a, 1897, has been affirmed by the appel
late division. When Mr. Richardson
died on June s, 1897, his estate was esti-
mated to be worth $30,00O000, but it has
since been found to amount to less than
a million, owing largely to transfers of
securities made by the testator to his
son and daughter before his death.
By the will now probated Mr.. Rich
ardson bequeathed $4,000 to the Rev.
Fl. M. Warren, pastor of Central Park
Baptist church. and $1,000 to clear off
the mortgage on the church The will
directs that the residue of the estate
shall be divided equally between the
widow, Emma j. Richardson, who was
his second wife; his daughter, Dellan-
pha Grace, and his son George.
The children opposed the probate of
this will and present one made on jan
uary l, 1894, giving the property to
them, and asserted that the latter will
was obtained through undue influence.
Pending the contest George Richardson
died at his home in Bridgeport, leaving
2 widow and a daughter.

BOEIe ENJOYS, PLANS.
VIII Visit Several Cities-Soon to start
for iomt.

Washington May 25.-The following
ENJOYS, who are at present in this city
Messrs. Fischer, Vessels and VOL
marans, who are representing the
South African republics in this coun-
try, have received many pressing nvi-
tations from most Of the large cities Of
the United States to visit them, but ow-
ing to the short time they have to
spend in this country it will not be pos
sible to accept all of the invitations re-
ceived.
1T is their intention to return as
soon as circumstances permit to their
own country, staying in Europe suffi-
cient time to carry out their instruc-
tions, but before leaving they have con-
cluded to yield to the great demand on
the part of the American people to
spend a few more day in America and
they have concluded, first of ALL to visit
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Providence
and Boston during next week. After
visiting these cities, they are in hope
OF being able to spare the time to ex-
tend their visit to several other cities in
the middle states, timely notification of
which will be given to the committees
who have honored them with invita-
tionS
'The common councils and mayors of
a number of cities are urging them by
resolutions to make them visit and it
may be possible that their stay in the
country may be prolonged a few days
in order to meet their wishes The en-
voys regret exceedingly that they can
not meet the great numbers of people
who are so aXious to greet them? as
they would like to do. They express
themselves as very grateful for the |
many expressions of sympathy heard |
upon all sides for the cause that is so
dear to them and they trust the fact
that they cannot visit all who wish
them to do so will in no way interfere
with the full and hearty expression of
and good will on their part"
