GEN. EWING DEAD.
Unexpected Termination of injuries Re-
celyed from a Cable Car.


celved from q Cable Car.
New York, Jan. 21. = Gen. Ewing,
who was knocked down and injured
Monday morning by cable cur at
Third avenue and 18th street, died
Tuesday morning ut 1o:4O o'clock as
result Of his injuries. 1t was thought
Monday that the general was not badly
hurt, and his speedy recovery was
looked for. Bad symptoms set in, how
EVER, at a late hour Monday night, and
Gen. Ewing gradually sunk into uncon-
seriousness. His death followed Tues
day morning.
The direct cause of death was the for
nation of a blood clot on the brain,
caused by n fracture of the skull. Dur
ing the night his physicians COM
menced an operation with the hope Of
removing the blood clot, but found
after they had made a few incisions
that further work in that direction was
dangerous. Gen. Ewing was in an UNI
conscious state from the time he was
struck by the cable car until his death.
His vitality was in such depressed
state that his physicians deemed 1t wise
not to complete the operation unless
the patients condition improved. Gen.
Ewing sank rapidly after three o'clock
in the morning. The police on being
Informed OF Gen. Ewing's death said
that John Kelly, the gripman of the
car which struck Gen. Ewing, would
be rearrested on the charge of homi-
eide. He was arraigned in the York
vile police court Monday and parolcd.
No arrangements have been made for
the funeral.
tGen. Thomas Ewing was born in Lam
caster. O., in 1929 He was graduated at
Brown university. and afterwards began
the practice of law in Kansas, OF which
state he subsequently became chief JUS
tice. He went into the war as colonel of the
Eleventh regiment of Kansas volunteers
and rose to the rank of brigadier general
He was afterwards brevetted major gem
eral and had command of the department
of the Missouri. He was never wounded
His famous order No. H." depopulating
the counties Of Missouri that bordered on
Kansas, was effective as war measure.
but its unpopularity as democratic meas
ure, years afterwards, defeated his as
piration to become the democratic gov
ernor OF Ohio. He represented Ohio In
congress, however. from 1877 to 1881. The
Ewings are closely related by blood to the
families of the late Gen. Tecumseh and
Senator John Sherman.l

BRITAIN IS INVITED.
Asked to Present Evidence to the vene-
xuelaE Commission.

xuelaE commission.
Washington. Jan. 21.-The Vene-
zuelan commission has invited the gov
ernments of Great Britain and of Vene-
zuela to submit to it all of the evi.
dence in their possession to further tho
work of the commission, to be repre-
sented before it by attorneys, and all
of this with the reservation that such
representation and appearance shall
not be deemed an abandonment of any
rights or position heretofore assumed.
1t has done this in order that the pro-
ceedings of the commission may not be
said to be ex-parte, that the truth may
appear and that time may be saved
in the inquiry with which the commits
sion is charged.
The invitation goes in the shape of a
letter to Secretary Olney, who has made
response saying that he has trans
United a copy of the commissions
views to the two governments con-
cerned. These facts came out after the
meeting of the commission Monday,
although the letter was drawn up and
rent to the secretary of state at it's last
meeting, Wednesday, January 10. 1t
cannot be said that the commission is
confident of favorable response from
both parties to the boundary contro-
versy, although the courteous terms
in which the suggestion is couched and
the wide latitude of reservation per-
mitted each party leads to the natural
hope that the invitation will be ac-
cepted.
Mondays meeting took place for the
first time in the new quarters of the
commission in the Baltimore Sun build
ing on T street. The first business was
the election of officers, and first OF
these chosen was S. Malet-Prevost, who
has earned high reputation at the
New York bar and also in Washington.
Mr., Malet-Prevost was named as secre.
tary of the commission and will be il,
daily attendance with the commission.
Mr.. Whitmore, of Ithaca, N. Y. was
selected as one of the stenographers
who will be employed, and Walter
Mouthrop, of the District of Columbia,
was appointed a messenger. A few
other appointments will be made here
after as the need for further help APP
pears.

None of the Collaborating Section Of
Alaska Is in the British Territory.
Washington, Jan. 21.-The rich gold
discoveries of Forty-Alile creek in
Alaska belong to the United States,
and not to Great Britain. The 14lst
meridian of longitude has been actual
ly determined by an employee of the
British government and properly
marked at certain places. Gen Dnffield,
the chief of the coast survey, says it
shows that but 16 miles Of the creek as
the bird flies and 90 miles as the water
flows is in British territory, and that in
this portion no gold has been discov-
cred. All the remaining portion of the
creek and that in which gold has been
discovered is in Alaska, and belongs,
therefore, to the United States. A bill
has been introduced in congress pro-
viding for the appointment of COM
missioners to fix the boundary, but it
has not yet been acted upon.
