''Thunderer'' Outlines the Action to
be Taken by British Counsel.
LONDON, April 27.-The Times, discuss
ing the Behring Sea arbitration, says it
believes the British advocates will not re-
ply to Carters prolonged discussion of
the interesting problems of philosophy
and natural history as affecting seals,
which only properly belong to the ques-
ton of regulations. It says on the ques-
ton of rights Sir Charles Russell will
probably only examine, in such way
as to avoid even the appearance of dis
courtesy to the United States, the grounds
upon which the American advocates
claim to travel so far afield for the pur-
pose of establishing a contention which
cannot be maintained upon any hitherto
recognized principle of international law.

DIED AT THE PRISON SOUTH.
Newton Short, an Opium Eater. Suddenly Ex-
pires-Blo0d Clot on His Brain.

Secretary Johnson. of the State Board Of
Charities. was called yesterday to JEFF
fersonville by o telegram from Warden
Patton. He was seen By II Journal re-
porter. last night, as he was leaving the
returning train. having fulfilled his mis-
sion. The case. he said, was that of Newton
Short prisoner from Switzerland county,
vino had died suddenly the day before.
The prison chaplain had started the story.
the secretary said. that Short had been
mIstrested, and it was on this account that
Warden Patten sent for him to make an
investigation.
The story. as related to the reporter. is
that Short. who was a veteran both of the
Mexican war and of the late war, was
about to apply for a pension. and on
the day of his death a notary called
to see him to take his deposit
ton. He sent word to the prison clerk,
Mr.. Ferguson. that he was too weak to
leave his cell. and could not make
the deposition. Mr.. Ferguson then
took the notary to the oell.
and Short came outside for few min
that he cound not endure the STRAIN. He
staggered and gasped as he walked back to
his cell. A physician was sent for, but be-
fore he could arrive short ives dead.
Mr.. Johnson advised when he heard the
facts that the coroner lie notified at once,
and the body be turned over to him. A
post-mortem was held yesterday morning,
resulting In showing that death was
due to blood clot in the brain.
The body was found to be diseased almost
beyond belief, so that the wonder was. so
said the autopsist. that Short had lived so
long. The deceased had been confirmed
opium-eater for many years. and since his
arrival at the prison had not doneIaus work
but had spent his time in the hospital,
where he was treated for the opium habit
OF this he was to q great extent cured. but
though he was removed back TO his cell he
was not locked up and still did no
work. He was allowed TO get up when he
pleased In the morning. and, IN fact. cor ld
only sleep in the day time. Although sent
TO prison from Switzerland county. his
home was in Madison.

THE GRAND ISLAND TROUBLE.
Williams, Ferris and BixIer Ask for an
Injunction.
Judge Catlin Issues an Order to Figg
and Others to Cease Their
Cutting a Ditch.

Thomas Williams, John W. Ferris and
David Bixler have filed in the Supe-
rior Court complaint against George
figg, f. p. Figg, Isaac g. Hall and 9TH
ers, alleging that the plaintiffs are the
owners and in possession of about 5000
acres of land on Grand Island, south of
Beaver Slough, mostly under cultivation;
that along said slough is strip of high
land, and north of the slough is a large
body of water, which in a state of nature
is kept from overfowing their land by
tie said strip of high land; that the de-
PENDANTS, with large body of laborers,
are now engaged in cutting through the
high land to drain the water upon the
land of plaintiffs, and threaten to so drain
it upon plaintiffs land and thus destroy
their crops.
The complaint further alleges that the
said defendants are insolvent, and if they
are allowed to drain the water on the
land OF plaintiffs the damage will prob
ably amount TO Sl5, 900.
lnasmuch as the plaintiffs have no
other adequate remedy, they pray that a
writ of injunction issue from the court
restraining the defendants from cutting
through the high land, and from doing
any other act tending TO drain the water
on the land OF plaintiffs; also, that the
writ Of injunction be directed to the de-
tendants, restraining them, their agents,
servants or co-workers from opening the
drain or in any way draining the water
upon the land OF plaintiffs.
Judge Catlin yesterday issued an order
commanding the defendants to show
cause in his court on April lst why such
Injunction Shall not be granted, and en-
joining them i'll the meantime from cut
ting through the high land or doing any
thing that will tend to drain the water
upon the plaintiffs land.
WHAT THE DEFENDANTS SAY.
Yesterdays RECORD UNION gave an
account OF the trouble between the settlers
on portion of Grand Island relative to
drainage and the cutting OF the bank of
Beaver Slough by the owners OF the up
per district, Dy which action the land be-
low was being flooded by sipage water.
The information therein given was
gathered from persons interested in the
lower portion of the island. The people
OH the northern part OF the island, among
whom are {. W. Clarke OF this citV
George l.. Flgg, one of the Trustees, and
others, state that they did not cut the
slough bank. They say there was Il canal
there which was eNcaVated i'll 1876. eX-
| pressly for the purpose of CARRYING the
| sipage and natural rainfall to-the pump.
| This canal was damned up, they say. by
the parties below the slough, and that the
| people above had perfect right to throw
out the dam and allow the natural flow of
water 10 the pump, since they mad paid
their pro rata in full for all reclamation
works. The latter is acknowledged by
all parties to be true.
The landowners on the island will
meet at Ryde Landing at o. clock to-day,
and no doubt the matter will be adjusted
TO the satisfaction of all concerned.

ADVERTISING SCHEME
y San Francisco Papers Proposition
to the City Trustees.

\ San Francisco Papers Proposition
to the City Trustees.
A proposition was made at yesterdays
session of the City Trustees by w. L..
Bryant, representing the San Francisco
Chronicle, to do some advertising for the
city. He said the paper named intended
to issue a haif-million edition for the
Worlds Fair, and it would he a splendid
advertising medium. The proprietor felt
friendly toward Sacramento and wished
to aid it. They wished to give a whole
page to the Capital, and asked the Trus-
| tees to appropriate 81 200 to help remun-
nerate them therefor. 1t would be pub
lished all through the Worlds Fair.
Nester A. Young OF San Diego addressed
the board in favor OF the proposition. He
dilated on the value OF advertising, and
said Sacramento is not taking advantage OF
advertising benefits as she ought. This
edition, with its reprints, will amount
to several million. In the southern part
of the State he had been employed on
salary to advertise its resources. His
salary and the other expenses had
amounted to $4,000, and the benefit to
! the section advertised had been several
millions.
The matter was referred to the Mayor
to consider and report thereon.
