ERRONEOUS REPORT.
The Dowager Duchess of SutherIan
Not Confined In Prison.

The Dowager Duchess of Sutherland
Not Confined In Prison.
LONDON, April 19.-The story given out
yesterday that the Dowager Duchess of
Sutherland, who was sentenced to six
weeks imprisonment in Holloway Jail
for contempt of court, and was driven to
prison and locked up, was universally
printed and believed to have transpired.
To-day, however, the report was found
to be erroneous. After the imposition of
the sentence the Dowager obtained from
Justice Jeune an order permitting her to
go to her villa near Windsor, with the I'M
derstanding that she would surrender
herself to the authorities to day.
1t is now announced that the Dowager
Duchess was taken suddenly i'll at 4
o'clock this morning. A physician was
in constant attendance upon her until 7
o'clock, when her condition was such that
he summoned another doctor to consult
on the case. Later the doctors sent GER
tificates to the authorities to the effect that
the Duchess was too i'll to surrender to
undergo the sentence of Imprisonment
imposed by Justice Jeune.
One section of the press is trying to es-
tablish that in sentencing the Dowager
Duchess Justice Jeune exceeded his au-
thority, and these papers point out in
support of their contention that a peeress
is exempt from arrest in civil case.

They We're Seen at Visalia, But Suc-
ceeded In Making Their Escape.
VIsALIA, April 19.-Evans and Sontar
were at Evans house in this city to-
night. Sheriff Kay, with posse of eight
men, went to the house. The Sheriff sta
toned the men. He then crawled to the
barn to make sure they were the men
wanted. Evans and Sontag came out Of
the barn in a cart, and Sheriff Kay gave
the agreed signal to the posse to shoot.
When they came out Kay fired three
shots, but his posse had moved from
their stations and were unable to hit tho
mark. Twenty shots were fired, mono
by Evans and Sontag. The desperadoes
laid the whip to their horse and escaped
in a westerly direction. 1t is not known
that they were hit. A posse is in pur-
suit, but it is doubtful if they catch the
men.

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.


PARIS, April 19.-Carter, of counsel for
the United States in the proceedings be-
| fore the Behring Sea Tribunal OF Arbi-
tration, makes a request that publicity be
given the following statement: Yester-
day Carter complained to Baron de Cour-
celles, President of the Tribunal of Arbi-
tratlon, OF misrepresentation of his re-
marks in the report of Fridays proceed
lngs in the London Times. In this report
Carter was represented as referring to
American Judge Dawson as a two-penny-
half-penny Judge.
Carter explained that he said nothing
in the least disparaging of that distin-
guished and very worthy Judge. What
he really did say was: 1.-The United States
could not be held responsible for reasons
which the Judges assigned for their de-
cls1ons. If it were so, the United States
might be held answerable for the decision
OF any two-penny Justice of the Peace.''
| He Carter never said the Judgment
given by Judge Dawson, condemning the
British schooners seized in Behring Sea,
was incorrect. On the contrary, he be-
lteved that the judgment was sound, and
he should endeavor to defend it.
The judgment spoken of by Carter is
that delivered by Judge Dawson in the
United States District Court of Alaska,
in the cases of the schooners Dolphin.
Anna Beck, Grace and Ada, which opin-
ion widely reviewed the claims in rela-
ton to Behring Sea and the evidence in
support of those claims, and directed that
! judgment of forfeiture be issued against
! the vessels.
In resuming his argument before the
Tribunal of Arbitration to-day, Carter
claimed that seals were not ferCg nature,
but private property when nourished
and tended by men. Carter quoted cases
in support of this contention, notably the
case of Morgan VS.. the Earl of A bergav-
emmy, which resulted in decision that
deer We're private property, similarly tc
bees and swans, being wild until cult
ured.
Seals frequenting the Pribyloff Islands
were. Carter commended, guarded and
cherished by the United States. There
| fore a species of husbandry was formed
giving property right in the seals. The
line of argument presented by Carter in
support of the claim of American owner
ship in seals was so intricate and techni-
cal that the President of the Tribunal
frequently questioned him in regard tc
the statements made.

A BLAZE OF GLORY.
The Manufacturers Building Lit U
With Electric Lights.

The Manufacturers Building Lit Up
With Electric Lights.
CHICAGO, April 19.-To-night the great
glass dome of the manufacturers build
ing at the Worlds Fair blazed out in
unexpected glory, electric lights being
lit up all along for the first time.
The most novel wholesale money-grab-
bling scheme brought to light in Chicago
in many day is said to be in operation
upon Worlds Fair exhibitors by railway
switchmen In the great outlaying mazes
of tracks at the grand crossing at South
Chicago and elsewhere. The abuse had
a queer origin, les lining, it is said, with
some shrewd Germans here installing
exhibits for Germany and German mer-
chants. There has been great rivalry
between the Germans and French since
the installation began, to see who could
get in order first, and it is asserted that
the Germans bribed the switchmen to
shunt in cars containing the German eX-
hibit first. The upshot was that the Ger
man exhibit made surprising progress,
while the French kicked their heels and
fumed. This beginning, it is said, has
resulted in a systematic scheme of black
mailing by the switchmen, which, now
that it has been made public, will proba-
bly, be stopped at once.

Twelfth Anniversary of His Death
Observed at London.
LONDON, April 19.-To-day is the twelfth
anniversary of the death of Disraeli. The
Primrose League observed the day in
customary manner. The members in
London and the provinces wore punches
of primroses. The Beaconsfield statue in
this city was wreathed with the late
Earl's favorite flower.
The annual gathering of the Couserva-
tive organization known as the Primrose
League was held to-day in Covent Garden
Theater. Lord Salisbury delivered an
address, in which he dealt with the Irish
home rule bill. He said the financial
proposals of the bill would almost bank
rupt Ireland and heavily burden Great
Britain. But, he continued, the atrocious
feature of the scheme was that Irish
members would sell their freedom for adj
vantage TO Ireland by forcing the Govern
ment to give them what they wanted
The bill now before the House of Conn
mons would not get rid of the Irish ques-
ton, since England would be compelled
to comply with Irish demands. The
House of Lords, exclaimed Lord Sails
bury, must not be turned away from its
duty by discussions concerning its con-
stitution, but must rescue the empire
from its assailant.

PELTING RAIN AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, April 10. - Half-dressed
guards rushed from the Service Building
at the Worlds Fair grounds at IL o'clock
toward the Manufacturers Building. For
hours the rain pelted down on the roofs
OF the big buildings, or were driven in
sheets by the mighty winds, and had
shaken the heavy iron trusses as it struck
their coverings. The wind had been high
all day, but an hour before midnight
1t was blowing almost a hurricane.
The rain was driven with a force that
sent it through every crack and crevice.
The men worked desperately and none
of the exhibits were damaged, but it was
a close call for some of them on the east
side of the building, which alone was
affected.

ering Cleveland's views on the subject of

tive that there should be change of con-
troll and substitution for Miller of a
representative who can treat with the
present Administration. 1t is stated that
the English investors are DESTROYS of
completing the canal through the aid of a
joint subsidy from the British and Amer

New YORK, April 19.-Edwin Booth,
the tragedian, is lying at the Players
Club, at Grammercy Park, suffering
from paralysis. 1t is believed this sec
ond paralytic stroke the famous actor has
been stricken with will prove fatal. At
II O'Clock this morning Superintendent
McGonigle of the Players Club, not
having heard from Mr.. Booth, opened
the door of his room and found the ira
gedian lying in bed unconscious. DIR. st.
Clair Smith and DR.. Ransom were imme-
diately summoned, and they gave it as
their opinion that he was seized with a
paralytic stroke some time during the
night. Drs Smith and Ransom remained
with the patient all day, and at midnight
thought there were signs of conscious
ness. His condition is considered very
critical, and the attending physicians
said it was very doubtful if Booth would
recover.
Since Booth gave his last performance
at the Academy of Music in Brooklyn, on
April 3, 1891, his health has generally
been poor. He spent most of his time at
the Players Club. A few weeks ago he
appeared to be considerably better, so
much so, indeed, that it was reported he
would return to the stage next season.
He has been in the habit of leaving the
club to dine with his daughter once or
twice week, and he went to the theater
a few times. The last time he was seen
in public was on April Sd, when he at
tended Alexander Salvini's performance
at the Manhattan Opera-house. For the
last few days he has not been so well. AT
l A. NJ. it was announced at the clubhouse
that Booth was sinking, and while he
might recover, his condition was more
precarious than at any time since his

THE DRAFT A FORGERY,

AKRON CO.,, April 19.-Lyman B.

scented draft for S35, 200 on the New York
correspondent OF the City National Bank
of Akron, and Newman Endorsed with
him. On this $4,000 was drawn, which
Lamb is reported to have left in the pos
session of Lawyer Newman at Chicago.
This evening the City National Bank re-
ceived notice from its New York CORE
spondent that the draft had been received
and pronounced forgery. Information
received in Akron is to the effect that
Lamb took the money with him when he
disappeared, and did not leave it with
