THE FIGHT WITH CHILCATS.
Ex-Collector OF Customs Pracht Tells
the Causes lie ad ing TO the Trouble.

GX-NODector or Customs Hracut 1eUS
the Causes Leading to the Trouble.
WAsHINGToS CRY. July 19.-Max Pracht,
formerly collector of customs for the dis
trlct OF Alaska. in an interview states that
the tribe of Chilcat Indians, who have a
strong settlement on Chilcat river. about
four miles above its confluence with Lynn
canal, have for years complained of the
encroachment of white fishermen upon
their fishing grounds and of the establish
ment of traps and pound nets in that part
of the canal leading from Pyramid island
to the eastern shore. distance of about
three miles. There has been considerable
friction and n few personal encounters.
Twice the United States naval vessel
stationed at Sitka has found it necessary
to go to the head of the canal
and by its presence and by the
councils with its chief men its officers
have patched up a truce. The Chilcats are
OF the Alaskan tribes the most fierce and
warlike. Their arrogance was in no wise
decreased when, in 1891, after the arrest of
one of their chiefs for the attempted mur-
der of United States deputy marshal, his
liberation on bail followed. This proceed
ing was protested against by the govern
ment, United States marshal and other
ants of the United States navy. Not this
only, but he was carried back to Chilcat
by the United States steamer Pinta. His
Importance among his tillacums, or tribal
family, became so much increased thereby
as to lead to more aggressive action.
This trouble, arising as it did, from the
unlicensed and uncontrolled methods of
fishing employed by white canning men,
who have located upon streams previously
tished in by the natives. could have been
prevented if congress had provided the
means for carrying out the provisions of
its own act. l am sure that had a special
agent, now tardily provided for in the
Senate amendment to the sundry civil SER
vice bill, been on the ground to enforce the
provisions of the act relating to the barri-
cading and obstructing of the salmon
streams in Alaska. he could, and no doubt
would, by removing such causes for bad
feeling, have prevented bloodshed. The
absorption of every available stream car
rying salmon by the cannery men is sure
to lead to more disturbances unless i'm
mediate preventive measures are adopted

AMUsEMENTs.

The Grand opera house was crowded
last evening to witness the first perform
ance here of the American drama, The
Witch. The story of the play is laid in
the Puritanic times of old New England
in the early colonial days, when super
stition and prejudice ran rampant and
stained the prefactory historic pages of
America with crimes perpetrated in the
name of the law. The story 10 based on
the superstition of witchcraft, and it is
handled very we'll, possessing quite q
reading lines mixed in with pathos, and
incidentally introduces the Srotesque
questions and answers actually en-
ployed in the witchcraft trials. The
play presents in strong and harsh
light the misdeeds of the Puritan faith
ers performed in the name of religion,
and the picture perforce is sombre and
lugubrious one, with atrabilious char
acteristics.
Marie Hubert Frohman as The Witch
is the central figure. She possesses a
decided dramatic talent, and is woman
of Impressive presence, but her work is
manifestly msrred by an exaggerated
Delsartean atyle. By giving current to
her natural dramatic impulses che will
achieve better results and give voice to
the emotional side OF her character. As
q result of the mannerisms of information
and gesture she obscures the deeps of
feeling which one naturally would ex-
pect from her undisguised personality.
Herman Hirschley as Arnooka, the
Indian, gave very good presentment of
one of Cooper's aborigines, and Mr..
Roberts as Father Ambrose was digni-
fed and impressive, reading his lines
clearly. Charles Jehlinger as Walter
Leyden, the hero, so to speak, of the
play, delighted in talking soto voce.
He went through the play whispering
his lines, and the Lord only knows what
he was talking about, for the audience
didn't.
Mr.. Branick as the Marshal, Miss
Casey as Goody Oliver, Mr.. Kelly as
Doctor Leyden, Miss Brown as Betsey
Leyden, and Miss Ogden as Mercy Mad
dock, all gave strong typical characters,
and the remainder Of the cast were above
the average.

WILL TAKE HER SEAT
MRS. MARGARET HUGHES WINS
HER CASE.
She Will Gust Dr. Hitchcock From
tho Board OF Education-Judge
Van Dykes Opinion In
the Case.

The board of education had many q
shindy last year when Mrs. Margaret
Hughes was elected to the board, and
afterwards was ousted by the election
of DR.. VIM. w. Hitchcock. The matter
was brought into the courts and yester-
day Judge Van Dyke rendered decis-
ion in the case, People ex rel. vs. VIM.
". Hitchcock, by which the lady is in
the position OF one who laughs last.
The facts showed that on September
7 last, A. @. Shafer resigned from the
board, and the board, under its charter
and rules, met to elect successor.
The full number of the board is eight,
but Mr.. Shafer remained away and
there were but seven present. Mrs.
Hughes received four votes. The chair
man ruled that she was not elected, be-
cause the rules of the board required
five votes to carry.
The chairman refusing to declare the
lady elected Mr.. Hitchcock at later
meeting received five votes and was in
stalled in the vacancy. Mrs. Hughes sued
to eject Mr.. Hitchcock.
There were two points raised by coun-
sci for Hitchcock: First, that Mrs.
Hughes was not eligible to the Office. be-
ing woman; second, that she was not
elected.
Section 2O3 of the city charter pro.
vides that mo person shall be eligible
to any municipal Office under this char
ter who at the time of his election or
appointment is not qualified elector
under the laws of the state" The act of
1874, however, passed by the legislature,
provides that women over 81, who are
citizens of the United States and of the
state shall be eligible to all educational
officer of the state except those from
which they are excluded by the consti-
tuition" The verdict of the court, there
fore, is that Mrs. Hughesis is eligible, and
the city charter fails in this respect. As
to the question Of her being elected the
court says:
"The charter having required merely
five, or a majority of the whole board,
to constitute quorum without specify
ing how many of the quorum should be
required to pass on the measure, that
matter is left to the rule presented by
the common law, to wit, majority of
the quorum only and the bylaw en-
acted by the board in this respect is in
conflict with the general law, and is in
valid and void"

cRANDALL MEETS HIS WIFE.

After Years of Separation There May Be
Family Reunion.
Bryant B. Crandall and his wife have
met, says the Buffalo Times.
After six years or more of separation
they greeted each other in Attorney
Arthur W. Hickman's Office last week.
The meeting was entirely private, and
no one was present but the man and
wife.
What they said and did and how they
acted is only a matter of conjecture.
One story is that Crandall pleaded that
he was entirely irresponsible when he
left Buffalo, and has been so much of the
time since. He maintained that he had
been faithful to his marital vows at all
times since, and it is said that he con-
vinced Mrs. Crandall of the truth of his
statements.
If he is acquitted of the serious charges
which now hang over him and threaten
him with term in the penitentiary, he
may rejoin his family.
