 Rice denied that the company had made any contributions to the cam rdign fund of any member of congress or helped to defeat any member who did not favor submarine legislation. He claimed that reports derogatory to the Electric Boat company were being circulated by members of the Lake Boat company. While he absolved Lilley from any ulterior motive in bringing the charges he maintained that he had gotten his information from the Lake people
 Rice claimed that he had been ap- preached on four occasions by repre- sentatives of the Lake company with propositions to buy out the company or to merge the two companies and form a new one. The representatives of the Lake company who he said had approached him were T.. G. Brown and Charles R. Flint. both of New York. Rice said he had declined all propositions. He testified that he was given to understand by Brown that these proposals were made contingent on the present investigation being stopped: it could be stopped if con solidation were effected.

THE SWFDE
 AND ATTELL Fight Fifteen Rounds to a
 Draw
On One Side Was Greater Skill, On the Other Greater Force.

San Francisco, March 31.- With disadvantage of at least eight pounds against him, Abe AttelI, the champion featherweight of America tonight fought Battling Nelson of Chicago to 15-round draw. The fight was d most spectacular one. There was not one round that the great crowd pres ent was not on its feet shouting for one or the other. At the end of the contest both men were fairly deluged with blood. Nelson's face particularly presenting the worst sight
 AttelI had the advantage in all the earlier rounds. He matched his su- perior skill. agility. cleveraess and fleetness of foot against the rugged. sturdier man, and by outgeneraling his opponent he bade fair to earn a clear-cut decision. The turning point came however in the ninth round. Nelson. who had been taking his punishment without a whimper, final ly succeeded in getting past-the He brew's hitherto impregnable guard, and once having paved the way he worried his man considerably. In the fourteenth round it looked as if NeI- son would score a> knockout as Attell was apparently in distress But his wonderful cleverness and knowledge of ring trickery stood Attell well in stead. He stalled and smothered the round out
 The consensus of opinion seemed to be that while Attell by far landed the most blows and was the cleverer this was to q great extent offset b., Nel- sons aggressiveness and the superior powers of his blows. It was on this basis that Referee Smith based his decision as he SO stated to the assem- bled press reporters. Both pugilists are dissatisfied with the decision. each maintaining stoutly that clearly the decision should have been awarded to him.
 The conditions of the contest made it necessary for the men to weigh in at 132 pounds at 6 o'clock. Both men easily made the required weight and while there was no official announce ment made as to the exact weights it is generally known that Nelson was down as low as 131, while Attell weighed about 124 pounds. The bet ting favored Nelson. odds of 10 to 7I5 being offered at the ringside

Paris March 31.-Friends of David Jayne Hill in Paris. while greatly de- ploring what has occurred. express the utmost satisfaction over Washington dispatches indicating that the incident so far as pr. Hill is concerned, is closed.
 While Dr. Hill himself declines to talk on the subject, there is no reason to believe that he intends to harbor personal umbrage or decline to go to Berlin, if the administration wishes him to take the ambassadorship on the contrary, there seems to be no doubt that he will abide by the decis- ion of the administration. Throughout the incident he has had absolute con- fidence in the justice of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root. and looked to tliem to determine what course should be pursued

THE BROWNSVILLE BILLS
 DEFEATED BY DEMOCRATS
They Played Against the Divided Majority
 In Senate Committee
The House Finally Passes the Agricultural ApprOpri atiOn Bill Alter Bidding the Bureau of Forestry Section of the Measure.

Washington. March 31.-Five demo- cratic members of the senate commit tee on military affairs today succeeded in defeating both the Warner and For aker bills for the restoration to duty of the negro soldiers of the Twenty fifth infantry. discharged without honor because of the affray at Brownsville, Texas. The success of the minority was accomplished by voting as a unit against d divided ma jority.
 The essential point of difference be- tween the two bills is that the War ner measure provides that the presi- dent may reinstate any soldier upon becoming satisfied that he is innocent of the charge against him. while the FOraker bill compels the reinstate- ment of such soldiers if they take an oath of innocence.

SAN DIEGO
 WROUGHT UP
Admiral Evans Will be There
 Today
The Town Thrown Into a Fever Yesterday by a RumOr.

San Diego, March 31.-Definite in- formation that Rear Admiral Evans is en route to the Hot Springs at San Luis ObispO. and will arrive at San Diego late tomorrow afternoon on board his flagship, was received here by wireless today The admiral will be transferred immediately upon the arrival of the battleship off Coronado Beach, to q launch and brought up the bay. A private ear has been sent here and placed at his disposal. It is likely that the car will be attached to a train leaving at midnight tomorrow
 The tender Yankton, the smallest vessel of the fleet, arrived this after noon from Magdalena Bay with the mail from the battleships. As the little yacht-like craft was making ths way toward Point Loma, rumor spread that Admiral Evans was on board and report to that effect was sent over the country. The rumor continued in circulation even after the Yankton had passed quarantine. Wireless per mission had been secured for the ten- der to pass the station without stop ping, and this further convinced the officers in charge that Evans was on board. being hurried to San Diego in time to catch the afternoon train north.
 A great crowd gathered along the waterfront, as soon as the Yankton cast anchor. However, Lieutenant Gherardi. in command. quickly dissi- pated the report. He added that the news of Evans intention to come north in advance of the fleet was news to him, as that fact had not been an- nounced at Magdalena Bay up to the time of the Yankton's departure on Saturday. Evans was then speedily improving in health. The Connecti- cut left Magdalena Bay yesterday and d quick run should bring her into San Diego tomorrow afternoon. though it is possible she may not get in until after nightfall. The best time made recently by any naval vessel from Magdalena to this port. was the for ty-seven hour run of the protected cruiser Albany.
 The Yankton will return to Mazda lena with mail probably on Thursday.
