The Captain Followed Flying Bird ana
Flew Before Fleet Apaohes.
Capt. Bendire, a well-known orni-
biologist, was riding along the banks
of Rillitto creek, Arizona, when he saw
a big black hawk. He followed the fly
ing bird and at length came up with it
perched on a dead limb of a tall cot
ton-wood tree. A bulky nest was in
the fork Of the tree about forty feet
from the ground. The mate Of the
hawk which the captain had been fol-
lowing was sitting on the nest. Hoping
to secure a trophy, Capt. Bendire
climbed up to the nest, in which he
found a single pale blue egg. The pa
rent birds circled around manifesting
their anger at the intrusion by shrill
screams, but the captain took the egg.
He put it in his mouth for safe keep
ing, as he required both hands in his
descent. Suddenly from his elevated
pv1tnene ernBHrF5g9N 81 several Apas-
che Indians cr5uched in a small can
yon about eighty rods distant. He was
awake to his danger in a minute, but
he manifested no sign Of alarm, and
descended to the ground in a leisurely
manner Had the Indians perceived
hat they were discovered. they would
have been waiting TOR the egg-hunter
at the foot of the tree. AS it was, the
captain reached the ground, mounted
his horse, and started on a gallop for
the camp, FIVE miles distant. In a mo-
ment the Apaches broke and pur-
sued. They chased him nearly to the
camp. but he reached it in safety, the
egg still in his mouth. 1t was unbro-
ken. Owing to its large size the cap
tain had difficulty in removing it from
his mouth without injuring it. His
jaws ached for some time afterward.

THE EYRE-CRAGIN CONCESSION.
Another Hearing Before the House
Commerce Committee,

Edwin F. Cragin and ex-senator Warner
Miller were heard today by the commerce
committee of the House Mr. Cragin after
explaining the conception of the Eyre
Cragin syndicate and its success in securing
from Nicaragua sweeping canal conces-
sion at time when the old concession
was about to expire and the American
rights terminate said in closing: 1--WE have
saved the situation to America and we
nave secured most sweeping and clearly
denned contract nearly perfect as Won
can make IT. This was done with no pro-
test from this government or the govern
ment of Nicaragua
Mr. Miller explained the relations between
the old Maritime Canal Company and the
new Cragin-Eyre syndicate. He had been
identified with the old company and is now
interested in the new one. His purpose had
been, he said, to bring the two elements
together so that the rights of each would
supplement the other and thereby the
United States would have a complete chain
of title. The negotiations between the two
companies had not resulted in bringing
them together. Mr.. Miller said, however
that in his Judgment, If the government
intends to take up the canal project, 1t
should secure all the rights and benefits
or the concessions, and also all the rights
Nicaragua and Costa Rica could confer
Then all interests would be united and the
plicatons or adverse claims. Mr. Miller
dismissed the idea that the United States
WoCll rot treat Nicaragua and Costa Rica
with ne fullest courtesy, saying there need
be Eo fear that warships and soldiers would
be employed.

An Effort to Take 1t Up in the House
Will soon he Made.

The friends Of the Hawaiian bill in tha
House of Represe natives will make an ef-
fort to take 1t up at an early day, and they
express confidence that ii will get a hear
ing. The bill was agreed to in committee
some days ago, and Chairman Knox of the
committee on territories is drawing up the
report. There was some idea that the bill
the press of business 1t went over with the
understanding that a strong effort would
be made next week to get hearing then,
or soon thereafter. Mr.. Knox and Mr.
HIT the latter being one of the Hawaiian
commissioners, say that purpose is
manifested to postpone the legislation until
the next Congress meets. They say also
that 1t is imperative that legislation of
some character shall be enacted. One rea-
son cited for this is that there has been a
large influx of japanese immigrants to Ha-
Wau sincA the annexation law was enacted
and that some l0,NO contract labor Japan-
eSe Will be brought into Hawaii and then
into the United States. For this reason the
extension of United States immigration re-
strlctlons 10 Hawaii is held to be of first
importance a similar view is taken as to
extending the United States customs and
revenue laws to the islands. The latter ex-
tension IS effected by special bill, which
has already passed the House and is pend
ing In the Senate. There is a growing dis
position among those interested in the leg
as whole very soon, and in the event that
TINS Is not practicable to secure the enact
meht OF such special features as are most
pressing.

A PLACE FOR Mr.. DAY
He is to Have the New Ohio Circuit. JUDGE
ship.
A Lively Contest for, the New Position
in the Fifth Judicial
Circuit.

The passage yesterday of the bill creating
a new judgashp in the sixth judicial cir
cult, which embraces Ohio, means the ap-
poIntment of Judge Day to the position
giving that circuit three judges, and pro-
V!dlng place suitable to the desires IF the
fol- 5r Secretary of State. Those who had
charge of the bill in Congress admitted
that Judge Day would receive the appoint
ment. The position cannot BE- said to have
peen created especially for Judge Day, as
the business Of the circuit has for long
time demanded another judge. The ap-
pCintment of Judge. Day, which will be-
made soon after the President signs the
Dill, will stop all further talk of Judge
Days entrance into politics. He has never
desired political office, and did not enter
Washington life until the President per
sonaIly sought his services. After going on
the circuit bench, Judge Day may be pro-
NOTED to the Supreme bench. 1t is certain
that he will be SO elevated if there is a

WITH DUE DELlBERATION
The State Department Considering the sa-
moan Question.
Lack of Official InfOrmatiOn-Instru
tiOns Sent Admiral kautz to
BE Ready to Sail.
E DELlBERATION

The State Department is moving with due
deliberation, yet with firmness, respecting
the adjustment of conditions in Samoa.
The publication of incendiary newspaper
articles is deprecated as calculated to in
terfere with an amicable and fair settle
ment of the important questions at issue
and the department is directing all of its
efforts now, as it has in the past, to the
use of lawful and regular means to settle
the succession at Apia. In fact, it Was its
insistence upon the compliance of all of
the parties to the tripartite treaty with
the terms of that document SO long as 1t
stood undenounced and unamended that
has made its position SO strong legally at
this juncture.
Lack of Official Information.
There is still lack of official informa-
ton upon the details of the stirring events
al Apia. A brief statement of these events
has reached the department through the
United States dispatch agent at San Fran
cisco, but far can be gathered ii is
not yet known just why Chief Justice
Chambers decided that Mataala, the Ger
man candidate Tor the succession to the
throne of Samoa, was lnengiDle. 1t Is SuS-
pected here that the decIsIon was based on
the use of improper influences by outside
but interested parties in the election of the
king. That would, if established, be suffi-
clent to dlSquallfy Mataafa under the strict
terms of the treaty, which expressly pro-
vides for an untrammeled choice by the
natives according to their own established
customs.
OF course the United States government
must adhere to the terms of the treaty so
long as il stands, this being a duty i'm
posed upon the government by the docu-
ment itself, so it is to be presumed, in the
absence of an official statement, that the
instructions sent to the United States con-
sui general at Apia, and perhaps also to
governed by this understanding in any pre-
sentation of the case that it may be deem
ed necessary to make.
Orders to Admiral kautz.
The Navy Departments orders to the
Philadelphia, at San Diego, Cal, did not go
out to Admiral Kautz until this morning.
Then they were in the shape of instructions
to take on a full supply of coal and make
ready for cruise to Samoa There was
not an explicit order to start, but simply
to make ready. If the admiral, report
ed in the press dispatches. finds that his
ships bottom is so foul, through her cruise
in the southern waters, as to be unfit for
the cruise to Samoa, he will probably be
authorized to use divers to clean the hull
for the department decided this morning
that the ship should not be sent to the
Mare Island navy yard to be fitted out.
There will be about five days avail able, in
all probability, before the Philadelphia can
clear and thus it happens that the de-
partment will be able 10 order Chief En-
the Philadelphia. That officer was ordered
to leave Havana last night for New Or
leans, whence he will proceed by rail
across to San Diego.
