NEW YORK, March 21. Beck Olscn ol
Copenhagen met Ernest Hocber,' the heavy-
weight champion wrestler of Aincrlcn, nf
Maaicon Squuro garden tonight, In a Oraoco
Homan match for the world's championship
and-Olsen was declared the victor by Hcf
eroj fiam Austin. -
This match dllforcd from recent contests
of this order, inasmuch as it was to all In
tcnlB and purposes "on the level." Ilosbcr
gained tho first fall In twenty-four minute
and twenty-five sccondu hy a h.ilf Nelson
hold. The Dane secured tho next fall,
which proved to be tho last, by a front body
hold and throw. Hocber was unable to conio
to tho confer at tho call of tlmo after a
ten-mlnuto Intermission and Olscn, there
fore, was given tho match.
Olscn looked big enough to eat Hocber.
llob .Fltzslmmons was one ol Hocbtv's Sec
onds. Tho men shook hands at !':f0 o'clock,
Olsen appeared to bo very nervous. Thu
Dauo- secured n wrltt hold, which Hocber
broke In twenty seconds. Hoth then secured
wrist locks, hut nctthcr held on for moro
than a minute. Itoober finally got a stran
gle and with a back lock throw him to the
floor on all fount. Then Hocber tried to get
a half Nelson, but failed, ns the big follow
sprang to bid feet. After some llddllng
Honijor ilropped to tho mat purposely. Olscn
secured a tlirre-fiiartor Nelson mi Hocber,
but Krnest broke nwny from It by spinning.
Hoebcr then lloorod his, man and attempted
a half Nelson, which was broken after a
fnw seconda' work, and hoth muti struggled
to their oat. Roebcr's arms encircled 01
ncn'n waist and tho Scandinavian, In his
effort to break this hold, appeared to bo
attempting to dlslocato each of Hooter's
thumbs.
KxcrtloiiN CntiNi lllooil to Flow.
Iloolwr's efforts to maintain his hold
calmed tho blood to rush to his bead and
his eyes to bulge from their sockets. The
Dano'u noso bled protUBcly because or his
exnrtlons.
After each mixup' Olsen presented bath
arms In n confident manner, aa If inviting
attack. Ho grappled tho Herman with a
two-arm neck lock, which Hoobcr Bpun out
of.
Immediately after followed n sensation.
Itoober obtained rin arm and neck hold,
which pinned OIcn with right shouldcT and
hip to tho lltor. Thero seemed to be no
escape for the big fellow, as Ropbcr, still
maintaining his hold, repeatedly Jumped a
foot into tho air, landing each tlmo on tho
Dane's body unci left shoulder with terrific
forcci Olscn broke tho hold, only to fall a
victim on tho ether side, Hocber securing a
half NolBon, which slowly, but surely, forced
tho bigger man to succumb and Roeber
gained tho first fall in twenty minutes,
twenty-four Bcconi'n.
Roe-bcr left tho ring for a rubdown dur
ing a ten-minute intermission, but Olscn re
mained in tho ring and was attendcil to
thero by his seconds.
Second Itounil Opcim.
Opening tho second round, tho preliminary
play was brief. Roeber had taken up tho of
fensive, making repeated efforts to get n
body hold cn tho big man, so as to throw him
..down, -and - )io. was finally successful, llo
secured one-arm hold and tried to get a half
iNclson on tbo right side. Tho Dano worked
himself out of tho difficulty and took up
tho work. This did not last moro than flvo
seconds, as. Roober auddenly Jumped .for his
man and endeavored to obtain a neck hold
to throw tho Dano over his head from his
shoulder.
Tho Dano camo right back and after grap
pling tho German with a front body hold,
picked Roeber up and threw him on his
back to tho lloor with great force. Tho
Dano then fell on top of his man with his
full weight and, having the right shoulder
pinned, it became but n question of a few
seconds- when Roeber should succumb. The
rcfereo tapped Olsen oil tho back, signify
ing that tho Dano had gained a fall. Time,
fourteen minutes, thirty seconds.
Itoclicr Wpciin Over tin- Itcwnlt.
Roeber lay on his back nnd had to bo
carried in a limp condition to his corner,
whero two doctors were, summoned to at
tend to tho Ocrmnn, who seemed to bo In
lured sovcrcly. Roeber clalmod to have sus
tained a fractured rib on tho rlght.slde. The
doctors who examined him ald that ho
might bo Internally Injured, hut that no ribs
wero broken. They refused to permit him
to continue tho bout. OlBen wns thereupon
declared the winner, whilo Roeber sat In his
corner crying like a child.
Hob Fltzslmmona then Jumped Into tho
ring and. whllo admitting Roober s defeat
challenged the Dane on behalf of Roeber
for $1,000.

WASHINOTON. March 2t.-Tho examina
tion of A. F. Olll was continued before the

day. In responso to inquiries by Represent.!
tlo Lent, tho witness told of a visit t3 the
"bull pen." At that time a prisoner chanced
to put his fingers through n hole In tho Bide
of tho prison. Thereupon, tho witness said,
a colored soldier who was on guard on tho
outsldo shoved his bayonet at tlie protruding
fingers, inflicting n bloody wound.
A copy of tho permit required of those
seeking work In tho Coour d'Aleno district
was Introduced. It recited at length facts
concerning tho holder, that ho was not a
member of a union nnd that ho took an oath
to obey tho law. Tho witness said ho had
not taken out a permit, regarding it as a
badgo of scrvltudo nnd unamcrlcau to ro

tbo law presumed that a citizen obeyed tho
law until otherwise proved. Tho cross-
examination was directed to showing that
the permit system waa designed to securo

Tho witness maintained, however, that Its
effect was to blacklist those who did not
toko out a permit nnd nlso to set . up nn
"oligarchy or aristocracy" of those In con-
; trol of tho permit system. He said tho class
of miners had deteriorated under tho sjs-
j tern, bo that now women did not takn the
night trains, ns many drunken men carry
ing dirks In their belts wero on board.

L'oiiKrciNniiwi Sid'n that There In Small
Chnnee of I'iinkIiik .Mean lire.
WASHINGTON, March 21. (Speolal Tele
gram.) Thero Is small chanco for tho public
building omnibus bill passing at this ses
sion of congress, according to Chairman
Mercer ot tho houso commltteo on public
buildings and grounds. Whllo the com
mltteo would llko to report tho measure
giving a number of cities throughout tho
United States Increased facilities for the
handling of public business through tho
construction of moro modern buildings, the
fact is that Speaker Henderson is against
any such bill being reported and that comes
pretty near settling any omnibus measure
that might bo reported.
It wa3 learned today that tho Treasury
department had revoked its former action
In accepting Hlnlr, Neb., as a site for a
public b.ulldlng and that no action hnd been
taken looking to tho choice of another slto.
Tho slto selected by nn officer of tho Treas
ury department has been most unsatisfac
tory to a number of citizens of Blair and
when It camo to bo inquired Into, It was
found defcctlvo and consequently tho proper
law officers of tho government refused to
bo parties to tho ratification of n slto ns
selected by a special agent of the architect's
ofllco. Just what will bo done to untangle
tho matter is problematical.
After indulging In tho hope that Senator
Allen would withdraw his opposition to tho
appointment of Lewis I'rlccr as postmaster
at Newman's Grove, Madison county, but
ascertaining that Allen would fight tho nom
ination of Prlcer on tho lloor and would
probably make it a point of hlshcst prlv
llcgo accorded to a senator, that of stating
that tho nominee Is personally objectionable
to him, Senator Thurston has recommended
tho appointment of Gilbert W. Randall for
the Newman's Grovo olllco instead. Tho
nnmo will probably go to tho senato in a
day or two.
Senator Thurston introduced a bill today
authorizing tho secretary of tho treasury
to pay to tho stato ot Nebraska $14,072 with
interest, In full satisfaction of all claims and
demands on tho part of Nebraska for sup
pressing tho Indian hostilities from 1801 to
18G8. This bill Is tho result of tho lato
Patrick O. Hawes' efforts to securo an ad
justment of claims against tho general gov
ernment. Patrick O. Hawes was for many
years stato agent of Nebraska, and this
claim had been In process of settlement
when ho died, Tho bill waa Introduced
largely In tho Intercut of Mrs. Hawes.
who, If tho bill should becomo a law, will
receive the percentago which her husband
would have received had ho succeeded In
effecting a settlement during his lifetime.
Congressman Hurket Introduced a bill
to pension NebmBka territorial militia offi
cers nnd privates who served from Septom
bor 9, 1864, to February 12, 1SC.1, during
the wnr of tho robelllon with tho Indians.
This act Includes nil persons who nro now
on tho pension rolls or who may hcronttcr
apply to bo admitted thereto.
Congressmen Gamblo nnd llurkc of South
Dakota havo again called tho attention of
tho Interior department oluclals to the
question 0! ofllclal delegation of clerks nt
tho Indian agencies. It Is understood the
secretary of the Interior recently expressed
himself favorably to tho suggestion that
tho clerks nt tho agencies be designated as
financial clerks in order that appointments
might bo mndo regardless of civil1 sorvice
law. An executive order exclude? financial
clerks from classified servlco. It Is claimed
that this applies to agency clerka who ns
sumo charge In nbsenco of the agent. Indian
Commissioner Jone3 is opposed to nny
change which will tako these ofllctals from
tho claralfled service, nnd It Is understood
that Secretary Hitchcock has yielded to tho
commissioner wishes. Tho matter will bo
pushed before tho department by tho South
Dakota congressmen.

WHEELERAT WAR DEPARTMENT
ItenortH llli lleturn from IMillllMilncn
to Sccretnry Hoot In Acconl
nncc M-ltli Orders.
WASHINGTON, Mnrch 21. General
Wheeler called nt tho Wnr department this
morning nnd oindally reported his return
from tho Philippines to Secretary Root In
accordance with the orders of the depart
ment. It was expected that tho question of Gen
eral Wheeler's future military status would
bo determined nt -this meeting. Secretary
Root was so busy, however, with other Im
portant questions which had accumulated
during hl absence from tho city that it was
concluded bent to defer tho consideration of
Gonernl Wheeler's case to a more opportune
time. Tho matter will probably bo settled
within n fow dnys. Meanwhile tho resigna
tion of General Wheeler from tho volunteer
nriny will be hold In nbeyanco and tho ques
tion nh to General Wheeler's eligibility to a
seat In congress will bo held up pending tho
settlement of his military status.
Thero la a strong desire to put the names
of General Wheeler and General Lee on tho
retired list ot tho army with tho rank of
brigadier general, but the execution of this
plan requires special legislation by congress.
Existing law prohibits a man CI years of
ago from serving on tho nctlvo list In tho
nrmy. General Leo Is over CI and General
Wheeler will bo 64 in September. Tho last
named, therefore, la the only ono cllglblo
for appointment to tho regular army. Tho
short time ho would havo to servo In caso
of appointment Is mndo an argument
against such action. Moreover, tho deslro
of tho president Is understood to bo tn
honor both of tho distinguished volunteer
officers in tho same wny, nnd not to slnglo
out a particular ono for special proferment.
With tho consent ot congress It would
bo possible to appoint them brigadier gen
erals on tho retired list. Such action would
cnublo them to relinquish their present
duties and Insurn their future wclfure.
Following tho precedent established In tho
caso of General Shatter, General Wheeler
may contlnun on actlvo duty Indefinitely
under his volunteer commission, but In enso
of his transfer to tho regular army ho would
bo obliged to relinquish actlvo duty upon
reaching tho ago of 64 years. Thero is
reason to bollevo that General Wheeler
would bo willing to forego his rights to a
seat In congress under existing condition,
providing ho was nssured of an appoint
ment to the regular army. As an officer
on the retired list thero would be no ques
tion ns to his eligibility to a seat In tho
natlonnl legislature in caso his former con
stituents desired to re-elect him.
COAL FAMINE IN EUROPE

WASHINOTON, .March 21. The European
coal famlno Is becoming moro Intense, ac
cording to reports to the Stato department
from Its consuls all over tho continent.
Today's issue of tho consular reports from
tho Bureau of Foreign .Commerce presents
In a striking maimer tho crisis In Austria

AVASHINOTON, March 21. Ex-Postmaster
General Don M. Dickinson said lam, night of
tbo Nebraska democratic platform:
"I had hoped that tho democratic party
would bo allowed to wrlto Its platform this
year. When tho Lincoln party begins by
readoptlng tho Chicago platform entire nnd
then proceeds to reassert It In particulars
and wo nro given to understand that this
platform is to bo offered to tho democrats
later on, perhnps wo nro to be disappointed."
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of
tho national commlttoo, said: "I don't know
why tbo newspapers should say that this Is
Mr. Bryan's platform, but I think It a verv
admirable expression of what democrats nil
over tho country nro saying and thinking
Just now. Tho plank about tho lnltlativo
and referendum Is perhaps an exception.
Within certain limits tho referendum Is a
good thing. I don't bellov however, In
submitting nil kinds ot legislation and all
kinds of public opinion to tbo popular vote.
"As to thu plank about Imperialism, I
agrco heartily with tho llrst two propositions,
I bellevo In giving tho Filipinos Independ
ence, but when It C011103 to protecting them
from outsldo Interference, as wo havo pro
tected tho republics of Central and South
America, that Is a subject which requires
consideration. I don't think it practicable
to extend the Monrco doctrlno to the Philip
pines. Othorwlso I regard tho platform as n
very happy expression ot democratic senti
ment nnd strongly npprovo of it."

avoid tho Inconvenlenco nnd business dis
order caused by stamping each transaction.
Chairman Pnyno of tho committee suggested
tho advisability of a rebate on adheslvo

BILL TO LIMIT BANK LOANS
Homo Committee Act Fnvornhly on
Menu urc lirucil ! Comptroller
of the Currency.
WASHINGTON, Mnrch 21. A bill restrict
ing natlonnl hanks from making loans to
their officers was favorably acted on by the
houso commltteo on banking and currency
today. Tho measure, has been urged by tho
comptroller of tho currency on tho ground
that many bank failures wero caused by ill
ndvlscd loans to ofllciaiH of the banks.
The expected large Increaso of small banks
under the new financial luw Is said to bo ad
ditional reason for tho restriction of loans
to bank officers.
Tho hill provides that no natlonnl banking
association shall tnako any loan to Its pres
ident, Its vlco president, its cashier or nny
of its directors, clerks, tellers, bookkeepers,
agents, servants or other persons In Us cm
ploy until tho proposition to mnko such loan
shall have been submitted in writing to tho
board of directors or of tho executive com
mltteo of such board and approved by a ma
jority. At sijch meeting tho person ranking
such application shall not bo present. Tho
bill nlso prohibits tho overdrawing of the
accounts of bank officers. Chairman Broslus
will mako tho report.
HOPEFUL FOR TARIFF BILL

.More Confident that It Will
I'lINN,
WASHINGTON, March 21. Friends of tho
Porto Rico tariff bill In tho senate are moro
confident than over that they will bo ablo
to pass the measure. It Is said that tho
quiet work which tho harmony commltteo
has been doing Is having effect nnd that
tho opponents of tho tariff are not so de
termined as they 'were a short time ago.
The argument Is being made that this being
a republican mensurc, It ought not to be do
feated by republican votes.
Tho Post tomorrow will say:
"On account of earnest efforts being made
by republican senators to reach an agree
ment on Porto Rico which all senators con
consistently eupport Senator Beverldge will
not for the present urge his amendment
for freo trade for that Island, but will post
pone his speech until such agreement ns the
republican senators aro ablo to make Is
reached. Tho senator desires It understood
that he has- not abandoned his position nnd
that he will voto to sustain tho principle
enunciated In tho president's message."
