EVANS AND MOREL SAFE IN
FOREIGN CLINE.
A Rumor That They Escaped in q Freight
Car to New Orleans, Whence They
Took Passage on an
Ocean Steamer.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-An aft
ernoon paper publishes the statement
that bandits Evans and Morel are safely
out of the state, and are sailing on the
high seas free from pursuit. 1t is said
that Evans cent to friend in Arizona
narration OF his adventures after his
escape from Jail at Fresno. After cap
turing buggy, instead of driving out of
town as was generally supposed, he and
Morel drove to siding of the Southern
Pacific railroad. The bandits entered a
box car, the door Of which had been left
open by brakeman in confederation Of
$40. The car had previously been
stocked with provisions. Galveston,
Texas, was reached in few days; from
there they went to New Orleans under
the care OF friends. Since then news
has been received that the bandits got
to sea without attracting any suspicion,
and the wide Atlantic now separates
them from their pursuers.

PAP FOR ANTI-SNAPPERS
ANOTHER MUGWUMP HONORED
BY THE PRESIDENT.
Wheeler Fl. Psckhsm Nominated for
Associate Justice of the supreme
ourL-Hornblower's Fate
Awaits Aim.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The president
today sent to the senate the nomina
ton of Wheeler FL. Peckham OF New
York to be associate justice of the gu.
preme court of the United States, the
place for which Hornblower was re-
jected.
The nomination sent Senator Hill hur-
-rying about the floor of the senate in
lively style. He was quickly in consul
tation with members of the judiciary
committee, who will pass upon the nom
instion before it is reported to the seu-
ate. The senators generally thought
that Judge Peckham, of the court o.
appeals OF New York, was the man, but
Hill explained that such was not the
case, but that the present nominee was
his brother.
Indications are strong that the nomi-
nation will be opposed upon the same
grounds as Hornblower was. Peckham
is independent in politics, and is said to
have bolted the nomination of Hill for
governor in 1885 and 1888. The New
York senators were not consulted by the
president in making the selection.
New YORK, Jan. 22.-Wheeler III.
Peckham is member of the law firm
of Miller, Peckham & Dixon. He was
informed of his nomination this after
noon and was much surprised, ae the
honor was wholly unsolicited. He de-
clined to be interviewed in reference tc
the matter and would not say whether
he would accept the nomination or not.
He never held any Office except that OIL
district attorney OF this county, to which
position he was appointed by the Their
governor, Cleveland. to fill the unex-
pired term OF John McKeon, who died
in Office. Peckham only held this posi-
ton a few weeks when he resigned and

Gated at Union college; graduated from
the Columbia law school in 1854 and

DIR. VESTS TRIAL.

It VIII Be Difficult TO Secure an IntelIi-
gent Jury.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 22.-Judge Wal
lace's court was crowded this morning
with an assorted lot of spectators 10
listen to the proceedings in the trial of
DR.. Eugene West. charged with the
murder of Addie Gilmour, Colusa mill
liner, who died in DR.. Vests office, on
Turk street, on September 9th of last
year, and whose body was afterward
dissected, the fragments being tossed
into the bay. AS the case has been
thoroughly exploited in the newspapers
and was of such intense interest at the
time developments were being made, it
will be extremely difficult to secure an
intelligent jury, on account of the fact
that the perussl of newspapers is sufi-
cisnt excuse for disqualification. Under
the circumstances it is calculated that
it will take a number of days to get
twelve men to try the case.

psnies OF the Second battalion, which
will arrive tomorrow. The men will be
housed in the armory here. General
Houston said, as he was sent to Jackson
vile to prevent to fight, he proposed to
do so and would use every means in his
power to effect this purpose.
II am acting under instructions from
Governor MITCHELL" said he, land
will carry them out to the letter"
General Houston does not anticipate
any trouble in preventing the battle,
and evidently thinks the sight OF the
troops will be sufficient to deter the
men from entering the ring.
NEWSPAPER MEN DIsMAYED.
Manager Bowden created considerable
CONSERVATION in the club rooms tonight
in the presence of lot of newspaper
men, by making the startling announce
ment that the prize fighters were going
out on train to hight. and that no
newspaper was to have more than one
representative free Of charge, and only
tie most reputable papers of the coun-
try. He went on the give the reasons
and stated the club WAS out $50, 600 and
did not propose to have newspaper men
aboard displacing patrons who would
put up $25 for tickets. This unlocked
for assertion WAS brought about by the
request of local newspaper men for
tickets for morning and evening news
papers under the same control.
WILL MITCHELL FUNK?
W. A. Brady, Corbett's manager, ar
rived here from Maysport this morning.
He said: II feel certain now. as
always, that Mitchell does not want to
fight. II he should get into the ring.
which now seems less probable than ever
before, he will do so merely to save the
$1,000 forfeit and $4,000 which wagered
him that he would not appear in the
ring. The moment the men shake
hands Mitchell will do one of two
things. either deliberately foul Corbett
or quit after the fret round"
Bowden, of the Duval athletic club,
when approached by representative
of the Associated Press, appeared ill-at-
ease. 81 still maintain" said he "that
the fight will take place. Charley is on
his tantrums, but like some of his
former moods, this will be dispelled
after nightfsll. There is absolutely
nothing for Mitchell to do but fight"
Those who are on the inside are be-
ginning to laugh at the rumor of Mitch
ell's sprsined ankle. He was said to
have hurt it going up the lighthouse
stairs, but SO nobody was with him at
the time, the sprain is not anthem
ticated.
SULLIVAN WILL BE THERE.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 22.-John l..
Sullivan appeared at the opera house
tonight. At the close of the performance
he announced that he would leave for
Jacksonville early in the morning to see
the Corbett-Mitchell fight. The big fell
low is confident the men will fight, and
says Corbet will win. He declares he
will challenge the winner TO fight forthe
largest purse offered by any reliable
club, and for the worlds hampionshis.

THE SENATE INQUIRY.
John McCaDdless, who was member
Of the committee of safety at Honolulu
during the revolution, was before the
senate subcommittee on foreign rela-
tons today. He sustained the action of
the revolutionists and that of Minister
Stevens. He was not an earnest advo-
cate Of annexation, but claimed Hawaii
was rich enough to sustain herself, and
the intelligent white people of the
islands were able to govern themselves.
THURsroN AT THE CAPITOL.
Minister Thurston WAS at the capitol
today. He called at the room of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
but as the committee was in session
was not admitted. His main purpose
seemed to be to see Mr.. McCandle ss,
who was then before the committee.
The latter was called out, and, after a
brief talk with him, Thurston went
away in company with ex- Minister
Stevens. He said there was nothing to
add to what he had already stated about
affairs at Honolulu.
