YOUNG CORBEFT VICTOR.
M'GOVERN KNOCKED OUT IN
 ELEVENTH ROUND.

Repeated Swings on the Jaw, Followed by a Terrific FInaI Slow, Send the Game Little Brooklyn Fighter Into UncOnsc!ousness-Ma and Furious
 Fight from Beginning to End.
 San Francisco, March 31.-Mechanics Pavilion. San Francisco, March 51.- William Rothwell, better known as Young Corbett" of Denver, showed decisively tonight that his victory over Terry McGovern of Brooklyn at Hart ford year ago last Thanksgiving was no fiulSe, by defeating McGovern in the eleventh round after a fight in which there was not a second of idleness for either man. In nearly every round, Corbett, fighting like machine, never overlooking an opportunity to send home his blows, had a shade the bet ter of the argument, and when finally in the eleventh round he got the Brooklyn boy fairly going, he never let up on him, until Terry sank to the floor a badly defeated man. Corbett put McGovern down in the first round for count of seven and repeated it in the second. There was some question as to whether or not McGovern was down at the count of ten, and for a few minutes it looked as if there would be a freefor-alI fight. McGovern tried to get up, tried hard and was on his feet an instant after the timekeeper counted him out. George Harding, the club timekeeper, who counted McGov- ern out, stated after the fight that the blows that knocked McGovern out were left and right swings on the jaw and a right upper cut, on the chin. Harding said McGovern was in a daZen condi- tion; that when he had counted nine he motioned him to get up but Mo Govern was too confused to notice and unable to rise. At the count of ten McGovern started to rise but it was too late and the referee awarded the fight to Young Corbett."
 Harding said that McGovern was SoAlpiCtCAy oiIu lIIdL IL Wdo IlICISy to him that he was unable to get up. Corbett was strong and ready, and had McGovern risen to his feet he probably would have been seriously hurt. As it was, it was nearly a minute after McGovern had been carried to his cor ner before he was able to sit up and un- derstand what had happened. The men in McGovern's corner claimed that the decision was an outrage. They said that McGovern had been instructed to fight cautiously and when he was knocked down he was to take the full count and that McGovern obeyed his instructions. They claim that at the count of ten he was on his feet and although dazed knew what he was doing. They also claimed that he had plenty of fight in

FIVE STRIKERS BOUND OVER
DECIDED PROGRESS IN THE
 WATERBURY CASES.

Surprise of the Day the Announcement
 That No Defense Would be Made-Eaeh
 of the Witnesses Positively Slated
 That They Had Been Promised Im-
 munfty from Punishment b Colonel
 Burpee and Others Provided They
 Told All They Kuew-Other Men to be
 Tried To-day.
 Waterbury Conn.,. March S1.-Decid- ed progress was made to-day in the po- lice court during the trial of the eigh- teen men charged with assault with in- tent to kill William Merna and George Morrisette, conductor and motorman respectively, of the trolley car which was attacked by band of masked men on the night os February 26. Five of the trolley strikers, Edward B. Winne- gar, William Vandermark, Clifford Van- denmark, Harry w. Warren and John Brearton, were bound over to the next term of the superior court under bonds of $20O0 each, probable cause having been found by Judge Peasley, the pre- siding judge. The remaining thirteen prisoners will be arraigned in court to- morrow morning on a similar charge.
 The surprise of the hearing to-day was the announcement made by the at- torneys for the defense at the conclu- sion of Winnegar trial that they would put in no defense, Prosecuting Attorney Durant having previously warned them that the, testimony in the first case would apply to the other four men. After the men had been bound over there was prolonged argument over the amount of bail. Mr. Durant asked for $4,000. To this Attorney O'Neil en- tered an objection, and Judge Peasley decided the matter by announcing that in his opinion s2,O00 would be sufficient Iy high to hold the men. When court adjourned a number of persons present. ed themselves to bail out the prisoners, and Judge Peasley carefully considered every case before bail was accepted. Only two men, Winnegar and McGuide, were released. The latter has not yet been tried.
 A portion of the testimony of every witness which caused considerable con- ment was the positive statement of each man that they had been promised inn munity from punishment by Colonel Burpee and others provided they told what they Knew about the assault.

NEW CHALLENGER IS FAST
RUNS AWAY FROM SHAMROCK I
 IN LIGHT AIRS.
Pronounced the speediest Cup Chaser Yet Built-Beats the Old Boat on all Points Quickness in Stays One of Her Chief fCharacteristics--Li Tender In
squa,is.

Squalls.
 Gourock, Scotland, March 31.-The Shamrock III. had trial spin to-day and showed herself superior to the Shamrock I. on all the points of sailing on which she ssas tested. The yachts were out five hours. and experts ex- pressed the opinon that the new boat demonstrated that in fine weather she is by far the fastest challenger yet sent out. The trial was entirely in light winds and smooth water, but under these conditions the challenger beat the Shamrock I. as the latter never before was beaten on either side of the Atlantic.
 When the boats started sunshine and a light, steady breeze had succeeded the wild weather of the past week, and no time was lost in getting the two yachts off. Although the breeze was light, it was decided not to risk any, thing, and the cup challenger's work ing topsail was accordingly set. The Shamrock I. followed suit.
 The challenger was the first to leave her moorings, and looked the picture of a racer, as she headed off shore. Out in Gourock Bay the wind was so light that the motion was more drifting than sailing. The Shamrock III. slipped through the water without leaving a ripple, and carrying her head well up. The first time the challenger broke tacks it was apparent that by shorten ing her fin, MT. Fife had produced a boat which was quick in stays, even compared with other cup racers. She carried her way right through turning, and was off on her new course while the older boats would have been still looking at it, thus overcoming one of the greatest weaknesses of the Sham rock II.
 There was no attempt at a set race. The Shamrock I. went off over a mile ahead, and then sheets were trimmed on both boats and course was laid down the channel. The two yachts were close hauled while crossing the mouths of Holy Loch and Loch Long,

 New Orleans, March 31.-With a net fall of two-tenths of foot in the past twenty-four hours and encouraging news from the struggle at Hymelia river conditions were considerably im- proved to-day. The only disquieting news of the day was the reported break at Angola, but the importance of this break was minimized to some ex- tent by the news that the damage re- sulting would be largely confined to the state farm located there. The eleven miles of levees protecting Angola have cost approximately $10O,O00. The stock and bulk of the convicts there had been removed to the Tunica Hills as mat ter of precaution and steps taken to protect the camps.

Annual Event.
 London, March 31.-The weather con- ditions tonight promise favorably for the Oxford and Cambridge university boat race tomorrow. The forecast is mild and cloudy weather with light westerly breezes, and if this holds good a good race will be rowed on the flood tide from Putney to Mortlake. The start is fixed for 3:30 p. m. The Cam bridge men are the favorites, as they form a very strong crew. They are not rowing quite so well together as the Oxford crew, but the latter is not re- garded as strong enough to hold out till the finish. The Oxford boat will probably make good fight as far as Hammersmith, after which Cambridge is expected to win easily. The betting tonight is to on Cambridge.

The laws OF each State differ as to the
government of insurance companies which
enter them TO transact business. In some
the requirements reasonable and just,
hut in others onerous and unfair. Where
the expense attending the writing of BUSH
ness is made heavy the rates generally
increased to cover the additional cost. This
is necessary, since the revenue of the COM
panies can be only from premium receipts.
The income from interest accumulated
reserves is but interest on former premium
receipts. Montana's law has just been es-
tablished by a court decision, and is con-
sidered one of the most equitable. 1t pro-
vides that insurance companies be taxed
upon the excess Of premiums received over
losses and ordinary expenses Incurred with
in the State at the same rate that personal
property is taxed. They are subject to no
other taxation except upon real estate and
TO the fees imposed by law. lndianas law
is similar, except that companies may not
deduct the expense item. Should the Mon
tana law be adopted by all States a ma
teria1 reduction i'm insurance rates might
be expected. Better yet, should insurance
companies become subject to national
pervision. under one federal bureau as are
banks, the millennium for which many un-
