MUST SHOW SPECIAL DAMAGE.
Contention Of Consul General Evans
Counsel in Damage Suit.

The trial of the action-at-law to recover
damages in the sum of 100000 Instituted
by Henry D. Phillips. an attorney, against
H. Clay Evans, formerly commissioner OF
pensions and at present consul general or
the United States at London, England, be-
gun yesterday before Chief Justice Cla-
baugh and a jury in Circuit Court No. 2,
took an important turn this morning.
Assistant United States Attorneys Keig-
win and Adkins. representing Mr.. Evans.
raised the point that Mr.. Phillips could
not show any damage from the acts COM
planned of by him for the reason that the
declaration Is not in libel so as to make the
words relied upon actionable in themselves.
and that the Injury complained of Is not
such as in itself to imply or authorize
presumption Of damage.
Therefore. according to counsel Tor MT.
Evans, 1t was necessary that the declara-
ton should state some special damage ac-
tually accruing to the plaintiff from the
special damage, counsel contended, ana
general damage not being sufficient for the
reasons given. Mr.. Phillips was precluded
from showing any damage at all, unless
possibly nominal damage.
Chief Justice Clabaugh sustained the con-
tention. although 1t was vigorously opposed
by Attorneys Hamilton & Colbert and f.
H Thomas. who appeared for Mr.. Phillips.
The discussion of the matter started i'm
mediately after the opening of the court
this morning. and was in progress until
the taking of the usual midday recess

tor Faulkner was himself a member of
the Joint high commission of 1898. He
said the sealing question had been salts

but was not finally determined on account
of the split on the subject of the Cana
dian boundary.
Again last year the sealing question was
taken up between Secretary Hay and Am
bassador Herbert of Great Britain. There
was every evidence of satisfactory con-
clusion, when Sir Herbert died and the
negotiations interrupted. Senator Faulkner
says he understands the subject has again
been taken up.
Senator Faulkner declared that every
statement made by Prof. Elliott as to the
disastrous effect OF the land killing Of male
scientists. He said that the seals are the
greatest polygamists on the face OF the
earth. and that the killing of a certain pro-
portion Of males Is a distinct beneht.
Otherwise the fighting between them re-
suits In the death Of many females and
pups
determination Denied.
In answer to question Senator Faulkner
said he would not feel justified in stating
the conclusion reached by the joint high
commission on the sealing question.
Senator Faulkner said the North Amert-
can Company succeeded the Alaska Com
mereial Company. The latter formerly
killed 100000 seals year, while the present
lessees average only II, 5O6 The highest
number killed in any one year by the pres
ent company was 10000. The pelagic kill
ing last year amounted to only 1900. as
against former yearly catches of 10000.
This falling off is due to the reduction of
the herd. Senator Faulkner denied the
company kills seals under one year of age.
Their skins would not be valuable. he said.
Representative Tawney read an extract
from Senate committee report, In which
it was stated that the salvation of the seals
depends upon suspension of the killing.
Senator Faulkner declared the members OF
this committee were on the islands only
four hours. and during all that time Prof.
Elliott had their ear
