Washington, March 27.-What is con-
sidered the most important arrest and
capture ever made in Yellowstone Ma
tional park, was reported to the sec
rotary of the interior today
The arrest was made near the mouth
of a stringent creek, on the 18th inst,
by party consisting of Captain Scott.
Lieutenant Burgess and Sergeant Fricke,
who had followed the trail two days.
After making short resistance, the
poacher, Ed Howell, surrendered and
was brought to Mammoth Hot Springs,
Wyoming, where he is confined, pending
instructions from the department.
The poaching outfit has been confs-
Gated. Five freshly-killed buffalo were
found where he was taken. Howell is
the last of three desperate poachers of
Cook, Wyoming, taken by the scouts.
The former were Vandyck, caught in
1891, and Pendleton in 1892.
Captain Anderson, the acting super
intendent, recommends this be made a
case of direct appeal to Congress for
the killing. manning or capturing OF
any wild animal in the park trfable be-
fore the United States courts.

THE MoDUs vIyENDI.
Important CabIcgram is AnxiousIy

Important CabIcGram is Anxiously
Awaited.
Washington, March pa cablegram
from the British foreign office, is
anXiously awaited by the state depart
ment. giving the assent of her ma
jesty's government to a re-establish-
ment of the modus vivendi governing
Boring sea matters The cablegram
was looked for up to midnight last
night, and the failure to receive it can
be accounted for only on the SUPPOSE
ton that the English Easter holidays
cover Monday which is a bank and
government holiday
The cablegram is regarded as most
important, not only as determining the
rules for the sealing season about to
open, but as showing Great Britain's
willingness to carry out the spirit of
the court of arbitration. 1t has be-
come evident the arbitration courts
decree could not be enacted into law
by Congress, and by parliament in
time to control the sealing season open
ing about thirty days hence.
The state department has felt it to be
imperative that a temporary arrange
ment be made with Great Britain
which SHOULD exist when the court S
decision could be made effective by
law With this in view, the British
government has been asked to agree
that the old modus Yfvendi Should be
enforced until the new laws are passed
by Congress and parliament.
1t is the answer to this proposition
which is now awaited.

Washington, March 27.-At the OPP
ening of the misunderstanding case
this morning, Chief of Police Moore
was put on the stand by the defense.
He denied that at either of the
two interviews in his office between
Miss Pollard and Breckenridge, the
latter said anything about Miss Pollard
bearing two children to him, or being
pregnant.
On cross-eXamination, he admitted
that great deal was said during those
interviews, and it was entirely prob
able that he had forgotten part of it.
He also. reaffirmed the statement made
by him, when q witness for Miss Pol
lard, as to Breckinridge's promises in
his presence to marry her, that the
bearing of the parties was not such
as to lead to the belief that this prom
Use of marriage was merely a scheme
between the parties and not made in
good faith.
DR.. e. e. Schaeffer was called as an
expert in handwriting to testify as to
a letter introduced in evidence, the
authorship of which Miss Pollard dis
claimed. After comparing it with
several other specimens of her admit
ed chirography, he expressed the opin-
ion that all were written by the same
person. He examined Christmas cards
said to be pressed for nine years in a
book in Norwood convent and said the
ink of the words written on it had the
appearance of not being over three or
four years old.
The plaintiff put in an exception to
the acceptance of the testimony on the
ground that he was not qualified ex-
pert.
Edwin B. Hay, another expert in
handwriting, testified that in his opin-
ion the alleged forged letter and that
written to Wessie Brown were written
by the same person.
Adjourned for the day.

HAWAIIAN GOVERNMENT IN 4
VERY BAD BOAT.
Reign of Terror Now Exists-Not
Even q Small Proportion of the
People Are Favorable TO Annexa-
tion-Faith That justice VIII Yet
BE Done.

Washington, D. c., March 27.-T. H.
Davies, the guardian of Princess Kali
lanui and one Of the chief representa-
tives of royalty in Hawaii, reached this
city today.
Mr. Davies says he is here to find out
what the United States proposes to do
about Hawaii, and incidentally to speak
few words in behalf of the queen and
against the provisional government.
He says reign of terror ex-
lists in Hawaii and not even a small
proportion of the people favor annexa-
ton to the United States. He places
no faith in the idea that the provis-
ional government intends to establish
a permanent government, as that would
give the citizens a voice which would
result in overthrowing all annexation
schemes.
He thinks the provisional government
is at the mercy of it's army of aliens
and spies while the people of the coun-
try continue to have faith that the
United States will still give them jus
tice in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the president of the United
States, and that the queen will yet
be restored or his ward, the Princess
Kailauni, raised to the throne.

LYMAN'S COURT MARTIAL.
1t is Based Upon Neglect and CuIpa'
BILE Inefiiciency.

BILE InefiIcIency.
Washington. March 27.-The order
for a court martial in the case of Lieu
tenant Charles d. Lyman, of the Kear-
sarge, is based upon two charges. The
first is based on neglect of duty and
the specifications are that the Heuten-
ant failed to take an observation for
longitude on the day of the wreck, and
that he neglected to obtain the local
deviation of the compass of the vessel
of the first and second days of Febru-
airy last.
The second charge is culpulable in
efficiency in the performance of duty,
and the specification is that Lyman, as
navigator. knowing that at sunset the
vessel had nearly run her estimated
distance from the A o'clock p. m. me-
ridian position plated by him to the
position of Roncador bank, and know
irg the difficulty of sighting the bank
from safe distance after darkness,
under existing conditions, failed to adj
wise his commanding officer, as it was
clearly his duty to do. to lay safe
course to the northward before contin-
uing on a westerly course, in conse-
quence of which the iKearsarge was
run aground.
