Battle of MarShalS With the

ture Is Certain.

PERRY, o. T., June 8.-Deputy Mar
shals here give further details of the terri
BILE fight between Bill Cook, Zip Wyatt and
one other outlaw and some Marshals in the
Glass Mountains. The outlaws horses
were all killed and two of the outlaws were
captured and jailed at Guthrie last night.
Marshals still have the cave surrounded
in which the outlaws took refuge and there
is little doubt of their capture. Ever since
the Rock Island train robbery Marshals
have been in close pursuit of the two out
laws who were engaged in it. The pursuit
resulted in the killing of them near ingalls,
some weeks ago.
The Marshals still pushed the remainder
of the gang until they changed their
stamping ground and went to the western
part of the Strip in the Glass Mountains.
Marshal Nix is determined to exterminate
the gang. 1t has come to light that two
noted Georgia outlaws, George and Asbury
Gentry, have joined the band under the
names of Come Lately Boys" The Gent

MINISTER FROM HAWAII
Castle Succeeds Thurston to
the Mission at WASH
ingtOn.
Considerable Surprise Caused in
Diplomatic Circles by the
Appointment.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, May 31.-William
K. Castle has been appointed Hawaiian
Minister at Washington, in place of L. A.
Ihurston. He will leave for his new post
August 1. Mr.. Castle was one of the COM
mlssloners sent to Washington to arrange
for annexation, soon after the monarchy
was overthrown.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.-The
designation of William R. Castle by the
Hawaiian Government to succeed Lorin
w. Thurston as Minister to the United
States came as surprise to the diplomatic
corps. 1t had been rather generally pre-
sumed in Washington that Frank P. Hast
ings, who came to Washington as secretary
OF legation and has acted as Charge DAT
flares since the return to Honolulu of Mr..
Thurston, would be promoted to the posi-
ton.
Mr.. Hastings is adapted for the diplo.
matio career by his training, which began
as an attache TO the United States State
Department in Washington, and he is an
American by sympathy. He is, however,
comparatively young man.
There have been suggestions advanced
that the Hawaiian Minister of Hawaiian
Foreign Affairs would be sent here to rep
resent the young republic. The appoint
ment OF SO important parsonage is
possibly on account of the desire
to kindle sentiment in favor of an
nexation which the Hawaiian Minister
here doubtless charged to put forth which
makes the position one of the greatest i'm
portance to the Hawaiian Government.
But for the particular interest which the
Hawaiian people take in maintaining most
friendly relations with the United States.
it is not unlikely that the legation would
have been left for longer time Differed
only by charge, that being the usual
method of allowing an international I'M
pleasantness to heal when a Government
does not wish to admit it's representative.

TWO MILLIONS WANTED,
Grows Out of an Agreement
With w. A. Brown in
Steamboating.
TRANSACTIONS OF YEARS AGO.
Relatives of the Deceased Millionaire
Know Nothing of the In
debtedneSS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June S.-The World
tomorrow will say: A suit for $1,000, 900
against the estate of Commodore Wander
bilt will be begun shortly by w. A. Brown,
son of business associate of the founder
of the Vanderbilt fortune. The transac-
ton upon which the suit is based is more
than forty years old.
William A. Brown was ship-builder,
who after retiring with big fortune,
entered into an agreement with Commo-
dore Vanderbilt for a steamship line
between New York and San Francisco by
way of Nicaragua. No partnership is
designated by the agreement, which is
dated March 81, 1851, but each party is TO
be responsible for the expenses of his
steamer. At that time Mr.. Brown owned
threefourths of the steamer Pacific and
the whole of the steamers Independence
and Sea Bird.
According to the plaintiff in the coming
suit, the heavy expenses incurred in build
ing these steamers and the Daniel Webster
embarrassed Mr.. Brown. He sought aid
from Vanderbilt, who Endorsed note for
him to the amount of $4,000 and loaned
Jersey Central stock to the amount OF
$35,000 taking as security bill of sale of
the steamers, with the understanding that
when the money was repaid the steamers
were to be transferred back to Brown
The son alleges that the earnings for the
first year were $4s0,000, and this money
was sent by DR.. Isaac Smith, who was the
San Francisco agent of the line, to Daniel
B. Allen, who was Vanderbilt's in New
York. He says, further, that the earnings
of the line discharged his fathers indebt-
4 edness to Vanderbilt within three months,
but his father never had an accounting
from the commodore.
The plaintiff says that shortly after this
his father failed and could not say any
thing about Commodore Vanderbilt taking
the steamers, because if he had the
assignee would have taken possession of
them for the benefit of creditors.
The action, which it had been intended
to bring long ago, had been Interrupted by
trouble in the Brown family William
a. Brown has lived in Chicago for
the past twenty years, and owing to
domestic complications did not wish
to accept in his own name half of an estate
of $400, 900 left by his mother. He left it in
trust with his brother, and recently met
the latter at Bridgeport, Conn, for an
accounting. 1t was then found that nothing
Of the estate rem ained. William then got
his brother to assign him his share OF the
claim growing out of the Vanderbilt trans
action. Anderson, Rowland and Murphy,
lawyers for the Vanderbilts, say that the
family has no knowledge of the claims and
can find no memoranda bearing upon it.

MEDICATION FOR THE BIRDS.
An Examination Which Knocks Popu-
lar Theory Higher Than They Can Fly.

An Examination Which Knocks a Popu-
lar Theory Higher Than They Can Fly.
DR.. G. H. Merriam, Chief of the Division
of Ornithology of the Agricultural Depart
ment, has been engaged for several years
in the examination and Analysing of the
contents of the stomachs of hawks, owls,
crows and other birds supposed to be in
furious to the crops of the farmer. The
stomachs of more than 1000 birds have
been analysed, and results show that the
popular idea regarding the injurious raw
ages of certain birds is entirely wrong and
that they have been the victims of unjust
persecution, says the PhiIadelphia Times.
This has been found to be especially the
case with hawks and owls, for the slaughter
of which many States give bounties.
Pennsylvania in two years gave over $780,
600 in hawk and owl bounties. Examina-
tions of the stomachs of these birds
proved conclusively that 50 per cent of
their food was field mice, grasshoppers and
crickets, which were infinitely more in
furious to farm crops than the birds them
selves. 1t was found that only five kinds
of hawks and owls ever touch poultry and
those only to very limited extent.

POWERS AND THE PORTE,
Turkey Is Uneasy and Will
Probably ReCede From
Her Answer.
Continued Distress Among the Ar

CONSTANT1NOPLE,T TURKEY, June s.
The decision of the powers respecting the
unfavorable answer of the Turkish Govern
ment to the note presented to the Porte by
the representative powers regarding the
reforms proposed for Armenia is expected
next week.
There are indications that the Turkish
Government is uneasy at the silence of the
powers. and high official has been sent to
three embassies, Great Britain, France
and Russia, to confer with the Embassa-
doris regarding Armenia and representing
to them that the Porte's reply was only a
semi-oficial communication.
The ambassadors of the powers men
toned, however, refuse to discuss the
question, declaring that they regarded the
reply as official and final.
Advices received here from Bitlis show
that great distress prevails among the
Sassoun refugees. 1t is stated that sixty
five of them have died of starvation and
that many others are furnishing.
A local relief committee has left Moush

The inhabitants ask for seeds and for the
restoration of their stolen cattle in order
to prevent a famine. 1t is also feared that
the approaching passage of the nomad
Kurds across this district will lead to re-
newed raids.
LONDON, Eng, June s-The Exchange
Telegraph Company says it is semi-ofi-
cially informed that the Turkish Govern
ment is very firm and intends to remain
so, because the Sultan believes the whole
Armenian question is merely a huge in

there does not seem any probability of the
