the details of which were given in last
nights CHRONICLE, is A. Bevan, He
was civil engineer and had a round
trip ticket from Philadelphia, touching
at Portland.
Bevan engaged upper berth No. 10 in
pied from Oakland to Portland. He
conversed freely en- route with the other
passenger in the car, and the porter,
whom he told he was civil engineer.
Yesterday morning he rose early and
went from the sleeper into the smoking
car, which was directly forward, and
occupied q seat in this car until the ar
rival of the train at Ethe union depot.
Here the gateman found him when he
entered the smoker few minutes after
the train reached the depot. He was
informed that the train went no further,
and would at once be taken to the coach
cleaning yards, and he was asked to
at the time. He replied he was waiting
for friend, who would return to him.
Being asked where his friend had gone,
he pointed to gentleman standing on
the platform of the baggage car. who
was, he said, the man for whom he was
waiting.
The gateman spoke to this gentleman,
and the latter said he did not know
Beyan, who was then put off the car.
He walked over to the side of the depot
and stood just outside the telegraph
Office for few minutes until the train
started.
He then ran forward and threw him
self under one of the cars of the train,
which was on the second track east of
the depot. Falling under the car, he
dragged his body half across the track,
where he was lying on his face when the
first trucks struck him. The trainmen

The Choctaw Troubles.

PARIS, Tex, April 19.-There is no
guessing the situation in the Choctaw
nation. Both factions are bitter and
stubborn. L. M. Loche, the leader of
the Jackson, or national party, has adj
dressed a letter to governor Jones, re-
questing that he resign in the interest
of peace and harmony. The letter
charged that jones' administration had
been fruitful of nothing but strife. Gov
ernor Jones replied that he had been
legally elected governor, and the consti-
tuition of the Choctaw nation required
him to enforce the law; that Loche was
in armed resistance against the Choc-
taw government, and had presistently
misrepresented the Choctaw authorities
He declined to resign, and advised Loche
to keep the laws of his country. Loche
is at Antlers, under protection of the
United States soldiers.

ENGLISH FAIR PLAY
Counsel Carter Calls the London ''TimeS"
to Account.
MIsQUoTED HIM IN HIS SPEECH.
Exclusion of Supplementary Evidence
vexes canada---Had Built
Great Hopes Upon 1t.
MIsQUOTED HIM IN HIS SPEECH

PARIS, April 19.-Carter, of counsel
for the United States, in the proceed
ings before the Behring sea tribunal of
arbitration, makes a request that pub
liclty be given the following statement
Yesterday Carter complained to Baron
de Courcelles, president of the tribunal
of arbitration, of misrepresentation of
his remarks in the report of Fridays
proceedings as published in the London
Times. In this report Carter was repre-
sented as referring to American Judge
Dawson as a two-penny, half-penny
judge. Carter explained he had said
nothing in the least disparaging of the
distinguished and very worthy judge
What he really said was the United
States could not be held responsible for
the reason which judges assigned for
their decisions. If it were so, the United
States might he held answerable to the
decisions of any two-penny justice of the
peace. He (Carter) never said the
judgment given by Judge Dawson, con-
demning the British schooners seized in
Behring sea, was incorrect. On the con-
trary, he believed that judgment sound,
and he should endeavor to defend it.
The judgment spoken of by Carter was
that delivered by Judge Dawson in the
United States district court of Alaska in
the case of the schooners Dolphin, Anna
Beck, Grace and Ada, which opinion
was widely reviewed. It claims the re-
lation of Behring sea and the evidence
was in support of those claims, and di-
rected a judgment of forfeiture issued
against the vessels. In resuming his
argument before the tribunal of arbitra-
tion today Carter claims seals are not
fere natur@, but private property when
nourished and tended by man. Carter
quoted cases in support of this conten-
ton, notably the case of Morgan vs. the
Earl of Abergavenny, which resulted in
a decision that deer were private prop
erty similarly to bees and swans, being
wild until cultured. Seals frequenting
the Pribylof islands were, Carter con-
tended, guarded and cherished by the
United States, and therefore species of
husbandry was formed giving property
right in the seals. The line of argument
by Carter in support of the
claim of American ownership in the
seals was SO intricate and technical the
president of the tribunal frequently
questioned him in regard to his state
ments made.

Canadians Were Disappointed.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 19.-The govern
ment here, it is learned, had built great
hopes upon the supplementary evidence
fixed in the Behring sea cases which has
not been admitted. The supplementary
report, it is claimed, contained strong
evidence in support of the Canadian
cases. 1t included report of Superfn-
tendent Sherwood, who was sent up the
Pacific coast to interview a number OF
Indian hunters, who, it is alleged, while.
under the influence of liquor, were in
duced to sign false declarations ralative
to seal fisheries by officers of the United
States cruisers. Sherwood also visited
San Francisco, where it is stated he se-=
secured some most important evidence
for the Canadian government In adj
dition to this the Dominion government
sent Professor McCoun to the seal
islands in gunboat specially detailed
for that work, after the securing of evi-
dence had practically been closed. Nc
Coun claims to have secured valuable
information IN rebuttal of some of the
contentious fled on behalf of the United
States. This also is embraced in the
supplementary report.

QUESTION OF ANNEXATION.
Opposition Sentiment Stirred Up by
British Residents.

Opposition Sentiment Stirred Up by
British Residents.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 13.-Oficers of
the revenue cutter Richard Rush, which
has arrived at this port 13 days from
Honolulu, are confident that there will
be no disturbance there so long as nego-
tiations are in progress. Lieutenant
Mcconnell says: "There is one strong
determination among all Americans who
have interests there, and that is, that
they will never submit peacefully to
the establishment of q monarchy
under any conditions. There will surely
be bloodshed if any attempt is made to
re-seat the queen. Springfield rifles are
kept loaded to resist such an attempt,
and Commander Blount is fully aware of
this fact. The sentiment against an
nexation is fomented almost entirely
by British residents, but they are few
and have not much power. The natives
as a great body do not seem to know
or care how the thing goes. The Japan
ese were talking of side sensation, but
not much attention was paid to them"
Being asked if there was any probabil-
ity that the English would attempt to
raise their flag during the progress of
negotiations with this country, McCon-
nell said: ''No, there is no probability
of that though the British were anx-
iously awaiting her maiesty's ship Hya-
cinthe, which was expected to arrive,
and they may have something in view.
But they are in the minority and are
not expected to interfere" The Rush
will remain in port for several days and
orders are expected to proceed to Beh-
ring sea.

William Malcolm was found dead in

WRECKING PLANT ARRIVED.
Capt. Metcalfe Brings Gear Where
with to Float the Miowera.

Captain John Metcalfe and two
divers arrived from San Francisco
on the S. S. Mariposa this morning,
for the purpose of endeavoring to
float the stranded Miowera. The
captain has been sent here by the
London Salvage Association, under
writer's. He brought with him about
ten tons of wrecking gear, including
an anchor weighing lO,25O pounds.
Amongst the gear are two suction
pipes for pumping, eight bales of
heavy rope, seven monster blocks,
including three 4-sheave ones, and
three smaller blocks, diving suits.
These will be placed on two scows
which Mr.. Metcalfe has already
secured and everything got into
readiness to 60 out, III case Mr.. Nc
Dowall, the present contractor, fails
in his attempt to float the Mic
vera. Mr.. Metcalfe went out
with Captain Stott this morning
shortly after arrival and spent an
hour viewing the ship. He did not
have much to say on his return, but
stated that should the present con
tractor fail he would start to work
Immediately.
Captain Metcalfe is not stranger
here, as he was formerly commander
on the S. 5. Oceanic, of the Orienta
line. He was in command when the
Oceanic ran down the S. S. City O
Chester in San Francisco severa
years ago.

AN ACT OF MEANNESS.
Arrest for Larceny of Gifts at the In
stance of the Giver.

Among the arrests yesterday after
noon was that of a native girl of
about seventeen summers, named
Kaaihue charged on the Station re-
cord with the larceny of gold ring
and watch, the property of Albert
Ludloff. From all appearances the
arrest of the girl was AN act of petty
meanness. The girl has been living
with Ludloff for nearly six mouths,
and he gave her gold watch and
ring. The timepiece, however, had
Ludloff's name engraved on the in
side. Lately Ludhotf assaulted the
girl several times and last Monday
she left him to live with some
friends, taking what she supposed
was her property, the watch and
ring, with the result mentioned.
