Fall Out OF Wells,

New York, April 26.-Packey Nc
Farland, who was introduced. tonight,
at Madison Square Garden as Chica-
COS fighting lrishman, gave England's
lightweight champion. Matt Wells, a
severe drubbing. The men fought 10
rounds atSthe Garden Athletic Club

favarite. nobody thought that his task
would be 80 easy. Wells was decid-
ed disappointment and the English
mans much -heralded cleverness was
not in evidence after the opening
round. Mcfarland was at all stages
of the bout cool and collected, while
Wells lost his chad early. Packey
jabbed,, swung and uppercut his man
at will from the opening of the second
round till the final clang of the bell
and Wells made frantic efforts to land
a telling blow, but Packey invariably
made him miss by clever side stepping

clean blows during the entire contest,
but was kept busy trying to escape
McFarland's unremitting singing jabs
and uppercuts 1t was one-sided
fight and Mcfarland upheld the repu-

him. The men fought at 1873 pounds.

were in the house and that the re-
ceipts will be over 100000

SEVEN PERSONS INJURED
When Steamer Crashes Into Dock al
Seattle, and Sinks.

Seattle, Wash, April 26.-Several
persons We're injured, the Sound steam
er Telegraph was sunk. and the Colo
man Dock, one of the finest passenger
piers on the Pacific coast, was wreck
ed. last night, when the Alaska
Steamship Cos big steel steamship
Alameda got beyond control as she
was being taken into her berth at Pier
No. 2 and plowed through the dock.
AS far as known no lives We're lost.
The Alameda in command of Capt
John A. O'Brien, Puget Sound pilot
for the Alaska Steamship CO., was re-
turning to her berth from the Stan
dard Oil wharf. where she had gone te
take on fuel oil. As the big steamship
approached the pier, Captain O'Brien
signalled the engine room for slow
speed to enable the vessel to make the
sharp turn into the slip. Either
through misunderstanding of signals
or because of the failure of the engine
room telegraph, the Alameda started
fun sneed ahead toward the dock.
Captain O'Brien saw that the crash
could not be averted and tied down the
whistle to warn the people in the wait
ing room on the end of the pier of their
danger.
Three women were crushed in the PAN
ic-stricken crowd that surged through
the doors leading from the waiting room
Captain O,Brien dropped both port and
starboard anchors in an effort to stoI
his vessel. but she poked her nose into
the structure and plowed through, Sic
ing off 100 feet of the end of the pier
and emerging on the other side with her
deck covered with wreckage.
The Telegraph, which had just dis
charged her passengers, was in the path
of the Alaska liner and was cut in two.
The little vessel sank slowly and the
crew had time to escape by jumping in
the water. 1t is believed that all Were
picked up.
