dated Bar Harbor, Me, Aug. 10, 1899, was

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Lieutenant Kchrl of
the German navy, VINO is touring Amer
lea for pleasure, is in the city. The lieu
tenant was an officer of the Getion Adj
miral Diedrichs flagship in the Philip
pines, during the war with Spain. He
said:
There was A misunderstanding be-
tween Admiral Dewey and Admiral Won
Diedrich over harbOr regulations. but the
affair has been much exaggerated. The
admrals were good friends and frequent
~ dined together. The stories Of the bit
terneSs of the feeling between them came
from English sources. The English peo-
pie wish to impress upon the American
mind the aid they rendered this country
IN order to pave the way for the alliance
which they seek with the United States.
England would also like nothing better
than to see the United States and Ger
many go TO war so that she might get
control of that much more of the COM
merce OF the world. The feeling said to
have grown out of the Manila incident
does not exist in Germany

RAN AWAY FROM HOME
Two Sobbing Youngsters Taken

Great Falls, Aug. 1.-two small
of a bed in the woman's department of

sobs. They are Frank Cannon of Ana
conda and Bruce Beardsley of Boulder,
and they had run away from home.
officer Bissett picked them up at 3
O'Clock this morning as they stepped
off the Great Northern train, and in
consequence they have spent the day
in jail. The Cannon boy, who gives his
age as IA, but who looks at least two
| years younger, seems to be the older of
the two and this afternoon was com
| planning only because he was picked
up before he had an opportunity to
see the town. He threatened to make
it hot for the officers if he was not let
| out for that purpose before the train
left for Anaconda. He stated to the
| Standard reporter this afternoon that
| both of his parents were dead, his
| father having been killed during the
snow slide on Chilkoot pass in Alaska.
| He has been working for the Copper City
company, but just before he started to
travel had secured a job at 81 week
with McCraig & Davidson and was
| anxious to get back before long in fear
that he would lose his job.
| On his way to Great Fails he stopped
| at Boulder and picked up the BeaTdsley
| boy and together they visited Helena,
which they described as rotten town
| with narrow streets and worse side
walks and all running up hill. AS they
were anxious to see a real live city they
| came on to Great Falls.
The Beardsley boy, who does net look
as old as his companion, but who
claims to be year older. takes his
misfortune very much more to heart
and just howled for his home and
mother. Apparently he would be glad
to see the last of this place if he could

| was informed by wire and if the Off
| GERS get an answer in time the boy
will be sent home on the morning

FOR EMBEZZlEMENT.
A Serious Charge Against a Former
Railroad Employe.

Great Falls, Aug. An. H. Bevans,
formerly cashier of the Montana Cen
trail division of the Great Northern and
succeeded only a week ago by Miss
Clara Ludwig, was arrested this after
noon on the charge of embezzlement
and is now in Jail. A story was cur
rent on the street at the time of his
dismissal to the effect that ne was
over $1,000 short in his accounts gnd
that the shortage was due to gambling
and associa ton with and infatuation
for a certain fast woman. He appears
to take his arrest very coolly ana &p-
parently Is sure of good ending or
his troubles. The story was also cur
rent that his wife, who left here FOR
her former home in Helena a few weeks
ago, knew of his relations to the fast
woman and left with the intention Of
never returning.
BeVans was seen up at the jail by
the Standard reporter. He stated that
he did not care to make any talk for
publication. He said
Il asked to be placed under arrest
two days ago, but they would not do
it, The auditor of the Surety company,
A. j. Smith, has been working night
and day for the past week, and he is
all mixed up. He wants me to come
there and straighten the books out for
him, but refused, and now he has not
got a balance of the accounts and he
can't get one. I want them to show me
where / am wrong and not ask me to
show them. / took the job last Octo-
Der with a lot of green hands and l
could not keep them Strengthened out
nor straighten out their tangles as fast
as they made them. / saw my finish
and so l quit last Monday"
The railway officials say that they
do not know how 1t is coming out and
may not for several days, but are
working hard at it. In the meantime
Bevans has been placed under arrest
as a matter of safety. The latter, when
seen tonight, was apparently enjoying
life as well as one can in a narrow cell
and was confident that in the end he
would be cleared.

Russia Will Arbitrate.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: AM
bassador Tower has notified the state
department that the Russian govern
ment has agreed to arbitrate the claims
of American citizens against it, growing
out of the seizure of their vessels off
the Siberian coast. These claims
amount to $500, 600, and Russia's will
ingness to arbitrate them is the best
evidence, state department officials say,
of their validity. Mr.. Tower is nego-
tiating a treaty referring the claims to
arbitration, which will be based on the
conventions under which the Cheek and
McCord claims were arbitrated. The
arbitrator will be selected by the TWO
governments and will be required to
render the award within six months
after his appointment
These claims are due to the seizure
of American sealing ships off the ST.
berian coast in 1892 and the maltreat-
ment of some of their crews. Their
vessels We're seized 20 miles away from
the Siberian shore. Had the seizure &C.
CURED within three miles it is probable
this government would have declined
to press the claims. The Swiss govern
ment is expected to render its verdict in
the Delagoa bay claim during the COM
ing fall. This claim, growing out OF
the seizure of the Delagoa bay railroad,
owned by an American citizen, by the
Portuguese government. amounts 10
several millions of dollars.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
An Important Decision From
Judge Smith.
A JUDGMENT FOR LEWIS
Emanuel Richie Appointed Special Ad-
ministrator of the Proulx Estate.
Mother and Guardian Are
Both Dead.

A decision of considerable importance
from a law point was received yester-
day from Judge Henry c. Smith in
case of Robert j. Lewis against Howard
Paschal in which a motion for judg-
ment on the pleadings had been argued
before him several weeks ago when he
was presiding in department !. of the
district court. The suit was on note
for $500 executed in Kansas by Paschal
in 1892 and secured by a mortgage on
some Kansas land. Instead of fore
closing the mortgage Lewis brought
suit on the note in Butte where Pas
chal was residing at the time. The de-
Tense to the action was that Lewis could
not maintain the action here, as he had
not first tried to satisfy his claim
through the Kansas mortgage. The
motion for judgment on the pleadings
was made by the plaintiff, and Judge
Smiths decision is that the action could
be maintained in Butte regardless of
the Kansas mortgage. The judgment for
Lewis is for $700 and compound interest
from 1892.
Emanuel Richie, who was on Satur-
day appointed guardian of the estate
and person of Emma ProulX, was yes
terday also appointed special admins
traitor of the estate of Frank ProulX,
deceased, father of the girl, and APP
piled for letters of administration on
both the estates of Frank Proulx and
Palmire Proulx, deceased, mother OF
Emma. The father died about three
years ago, leaving property valued at
500, 900. He left by will everything 70
his widow, Palmire Proulx. and named
her as executrix. She did not long sur
vive her husband, and Ovila ProuN
was appointed administrator of both
estates and guardian of the girl, but
died also, leaving the estate without
administrator and the girl without
guardian. Richie was appointed spe-
cial administrator yesterday to take
charge of the property pending the
hearing of his petitions to be appointed
regular administrator.
