LONDON, April Newspapers gener-
ally comment upon the introduction be-
fore the court of arbitration of the Behr-
ing sea case of the British counter case,
exposing the use OF mistranslations of
Russian documents in the case presented
by the United States. The London Stand
ard says: Sometimes the translator
seems to have Numbered out of sheer
careiessness, and in other places to have
been mistaken, while some errors of
omission and commission show deliberate
Justification in favor of the contentious of
the United States. As the agent of the
United States had put in an amended YER
sion of the mistranslated documents.
most people," the Standard continues,
would suppose no more would be said;
but 1t IS surprising to find, after tacitly
admitting some documents to be no
more reliable than Mormon scrip
lures, the United States government
has RETAINED from modifying or
withdrawing arguments based on garbled
translatlons. British contention, the
Standard adds, is that when the spurious
passages are expunged there does not re-
main an atom of evidence supporting the
CH4Sl american at legatlOn. In Closing, the
standard remarks it would perhaps be
futile to ask whether any responsible
politician at Washington really thought
the device could Deguile representativ
OF Great Britain.
The st. James Gazette says it does not
suspect the United States government Of
conniving in the concocted passages, and
says the American people will repudiate
the trick so dirty and so silly. Yet, adds
the Gazette, the arguments founded on
forgerleS are uncancelled.

his descent to Cromwell slieutenant-ge :

ELECTION on SENATOR'S.
Senator Hoar Proposes to Renew
Debate This Session.
WHY HE WILL OPPOSE IT.
, Several Reasons Given in a Resolution
Which He Introduces,
Debate on the Admission of Lee Mantle
Continues in the Senate. senator
Turpie Has Spoken and Sem
ator vance VIII Follow.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-It appears
from a resolution introduced in the Sen
ate today, as If debate on the subject IF
the election of senators by direct vote
= OF the people would be renewed at tai s
extra session. Mr.. Hoar introduced
resolution antagonistic TO that prOpos :
ton and gave notice that as soon as con
Venieut after tomorrow he would address
the Senate on the subject. The resolu-
ton asserts ''that it is inexpedient thas
the resolution sent to the Senate by the
House at the last Congress De adopted,
for such method of election would es-
sentially change the character of the
Senate as conceived by the convention
that formed the constitution and the peo-
pie who adopted it,
sit would, - the resolution continues,
s'tr.lnsfer the selection of Senators from the
legislature entrusted with all Legislative
powers of the states to bodies having no
other responsibility, whose election can
not be regulated by law, whose members
vote by proxy, whose tenure of Office is
for single day, whose votes and pro-
ceedings are not recorded. and who act
under personal responsibility.
1t requires the substitution OF plurall-
ties for majorities; transfers The seat OF
political power in territory to great cit
les and masses OF population; creates new
temptation to fraud, and will give rise to
numerous election contests; will absolVe
the larger states from the constitutional
obligation which secures equal represen-
tation of all states in the Senate by pro-
viding that no stafa shall be deprived OF
that equality without its consent. -
In conclusion the resolution says:
"Sueh method implies what the whole
current of our history shows to be untrue
that the Senate has, during the past
century. failed to meet the just expecta-
lions Of the people, and that state legisla-
lures have proved themselves unfit to be
repositories of power electing senators.
The reasons which require this change, II
acted upon and carried to a legel result,
will lead To election by direct popular
vote and by popular majorities of the
president and judiciary and compel the
placing of these elections under complete
national control.
SIT viii result in the overthrow of the
whole scheme of a Senate, and in the end
of the whole scheme of national constitu-
ton as designed and established by its
trainers and the people who adopted it.H

CHOCTAW WAR.
a Temporary Truce Has Been Arranged
and Forces Disband.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary Hoke
Smith received the following today from
Agent Bennett at Wagner, l. T.. rela-
tive to the threatened Choctaw trouble:
" a temporary truce was arranged yester-
day and armed forces are disbanding.
The situation is yet serious and SEEM
ingly uncomprom1sable under the present
ChoctaW government. A full report will
be wired tonight. Pending your cousid-
Grafton and action all hostilities cease.
While great relief is expressed at the dis
banding of the armed forces, the feeling
is one of great uncertainty
A copy of this telegram was sent to the
secretary of war for consideration. The
war department telegraphed General
Miles, Commanding the department of
the Missouri, to send officers to Antlers,
the scene of the trouble, and Investi-
gate.
A Paris, Tex. dispatch says: Agent
Bennett spent most of the day with the
Choctaw militia at Goodland. Yesterday
after much pow wowing it was agreed
that he make full report to the interior
department, and pending a decision they
would disband and go home subject to q
call from the governor in case the decision
of the department was unfavorable to
them. Bennett then went to Antlers and
informed Locke of what they agreed to
do. Locke said he would let his men go
when the militia disbanded and returned
to the fort to await their action. It
looked as if temporary peace was OBJ
tanned, but tonight brings ugly run.ors.
Some militia including Captain Keyes
Durant, were arrested and brought here
today, for introducing whisky into the
territory. They gave bond and then got
to drinking. They were very outspoken
and declared it to be their intention to
attack Locke before tomorrow night. 1t
is reported that case of Winchesters is
being shipped to Locke on the night train
north. The militia declared they intended
to capture them. Locke is apprised OF all
their threats and is at his fort not uneasy
in the least.

DIscoURrEoUs OFFICIALS.
The Captain General of Cuba DeIiberateI,
Snubs an American Admiral.

The Captain General of Cuba Deliberately
Snubs American Admiral.
HAVANA. April 3.-The sudden depar-
ture Of the United States ships, Newark
and Pennington, is owing, it is said, to
the snub administered by the captain
general to the rear admiral. A local
journal contains a long account of the al
fail. reciting the manner in which the
preparations made by the rear admiral
for the reception of the captain general
and staff were ignored, as well as the GUS
tom OF sending an officer to conduct the
men of war appearing at The entrance to
the harbor to safe anchorage. The New
ark and Pennington appeared off the coast
in company with the Nina and Pinta,
modern models OF ancient caravels, which
they had escorted across the ocean, and
slowed down to await the coming of the
port official to advise the admiral where
to place his ship. No officer presented
himself, however, and after waiting for
some time the ships anchored in that part
of the harbOr usually reserved for such
vessels. Salutes were exchanged with
Fort Cabanas and ships OF the Spanish
feet.
Subsequently the admiral went ashore,
called on the captain general and under
stood that the captain general and staff
would return the visit at O'Clock in the
afternoon. Elaborate preparations We're
made for their reception on board the
Newark. Time passed and no signs OF
the visitors. Finally att o. m. mes
senger came out to the Newark to say
that the captain general would pay a
visit some other day. The understand
ing here is that the American admiral
communicated at once with the secretary
of the navy at Washington and received
orders by cable to proceed at once with
the vessels to Norfolk.
