OF CLAIMS OF CHltANS.
THE CELEBRATED ITATA CASE DE.
CIDED IN FAVOR OF THE
UNITED STATES.
REASONS FOR CONCLUSIONS.
NINETEEN CASES ARISING OFT or
CHILEAN REBELLION HAVE
BEEN ADJUDICATED.

WASHINGTON. June 17.-Tne Unit.
ed States and Chilean claims commits
sion completed its work to-day. The
last case to be decided was tat involy-
ing the seizure in 1891 OF the Chilean
vessel Itata by the authorities of the
United States on the ground that she
was carrying cargo of contraband
arms to Chile. The claim was for
s44051 with interest and was made by
the South American Steamship Com
pany which had chartered the ship to
the Chilean government The decision
of to-day dismisses the case Minister
Pioda, of Switzerland. president of the
commission, and Mr.. Gage. the Ameri-
can commissioner, agreed in this view.
while Minister yicuna. of Chila, dis
scented. The commission sums up its
findings as follows:
1. That the damage alleged by the
plaintiffs were no. occasioned by any
unJustifiable action on tie part OF the
United States: that the Itata was not
pursued by the naval authorities OF the
United States upon the high seas into
Chilean waters. induced to surrender
by display of superior force, and
brought pack under duress.
- That the Itata was voluntarily
placed at the disposal of the United
States by the provisional government
of Chile.
%. That there was probable cause
for the detention of the Itata at Santa
go. by the authorities OF the United
States and therefore no wrong was
done.
"A. That the claimant has brought
suit in the courts OF Chile against the
government of Chile to recover dam
ages upon the identical claim that is
here set up against the United States:
that the company has recovered judg-
ment thereon, and that these judgments
have been paid to the company by the
government of Chile The case must
therefore be dismissed"
Another important case decided to-
day was that OF the Central and South
American Telegraph Company against
Chile, growing out OF tax OF two
cents message levied during the up
rising of 1891. The commission award
ed $4,000 damages.
During the sessions OF the commits
sion there have been seventeen cases
against Chile and two against the Unit
ed States. The total OF American
claims against Chile was $4,000 900. and
OF this $2S, 062, or .084 per cent has been
awarded by the commission. The two
Chilean claims against this government
were the Itata case. disposed of to-day.
and that of Richard Trumbull. who was
awarded $4,000 for services to the
United. States legation in Chile in an
extradition case some years ago.

PRESIDENT MKINLEY DID NOT
LOOK WITH FAVOR UPON Ex-
GOV. ATKINSON.
THE WEST VIRGINIA SLATE
MADE UP AND FINALLY SETTLED.
SOME WEST VIRGINIA CON-
SULAR APPOINTMENTS.

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-THE
West Virginia federal slate was settled
to-day.
Senators Elkins and Scott got togeth-
er this morning and agreed upon B. F.
Kellar, OF Mercer county, for Judge of
the new district of West Virginia.
The two Senators went to see the
President and made the recommends
ton. The President agreed to the
appointment and it will be made with
out delay.
For district attorney the appointee
will be ex-Gov. Atkinson, and for mar
shall, John X. Thompson, of Putnam
county, will be selected.
In the old district Reese Blizzard

A conference of West virginians was
held this morning at which the two
Senators were urged to push the name

to suggestions of this kind and the two
Senator's agreed upon Mr. Kellar, who
has been practicing law in West Vir-
GINA for eighteen years.
Mr.. Kellar went to West Virginia
from Pennsylvania Kellars selection
was made as sort of compromise be-
tween Taylor Vinson and Elliott North
colt, both of Huntington, who were re-
garded as the leading candidates, but
the two Senators were unable to agree
upon either, and hence Kellar was in
dorsed.
Kellar was one of the first In the
field, but later withdrew and was not
considered in the race until recently.
The entire slate is said to be salts
factory to everybody and has the en-
dorsement of the local colony of West
Virginians who were consulted in its
makeup.
Senators Elkins and Scott likewise
recommended some consular appoint
ments, which will be made.

will be made consul at LAREDO, Mexico;
Philip Snyder is transferred from Por-
firio Diaz, Mexico, to Windsor, Canada,

EARL RUSSELL ARRESTED.
He is Charged With Contracting \
Bigamous Marriage in the United


Bfgamous Marriage In the United
States.
LONDON, June 17.-Earl Russell was
arrested to-day on charge of having
contracted bigamous marriage in the
United States. The earl was met at
the railway station upon his arrival
from the country by detective with
warrant and was taken to the Bow
street police court, where he was form
ally discharged. The nobleman appear
ed to be quite unconcerned.
While Earl Russell awaited in the
ante-room the summons to appear be-
fore the magistrate, the woman he mar
ried in America joined him. When the
case was called, representative of the
public prosecutor said the prisoner was
charged with felniously marrying Mollie
Cooke, in America, April Is, 1900, while
his wife, Mabel, Countess Russell was
alive.
About a year ago it was announced
that Earl Russell had obtained a di-
qvorce ia Nevada, and had there mar
ried Mrs. Mollie Somerville, daughter
of the late George Cooke, of Comber-
nauld, Scotland. Mrs. Somerville had
also obtained divorce in Nevada
from her husband, George j. Somer-
vile. Later the Earl and his new
countess went to England, and the
first countess threatened to have the
Earl arrested for bigamy
Earl Russell was remanded in g.
600 bail.
The prosecution proceeded to outline
the EarPs marriage to Mabel Scott This
first countess), their separation, his sub
sequent disappearance from England
with a neighbor, Mrs Somerville, and
the discovery that he and Mrs Somer-
vile were together at Reno, Nevada On
April IA, 1900, Earl Russell obtained a
license to marry Mollie Cooke, other
wise Mrs. Somerville, and a judge per-
formed the ceremony April 18th.
Counsel for the Earl pointed out that
the prosecution omitted mention of the
divorce proceedings instituted by his
lordship in America
In the event of conviction the case
will be taken to .-.e House of Lords, as
Earl Russell is entitled 20 a trial by his
peers.
The prosecution announced that the
Nevada district judge, Mr. Koelher, and
witnesses of the marriage had arrived
in Eng ed to prove the ceremony.
Counsel Tor the defense 'intimated that
Earl Russell, having secured a divorce
in America believed his subsequent mar
riage legal.
