PRACTICALLY ADMITS ‘ THE CHARGE OF LIBEL| A Suit Concluded Upon the Agree- ment of the Defendant to Pay 81000 Damages. CARSON, Nev, March 13.—The case of | Anna C. Egan vs. John S. Mayhugh for damages because of a libelous article written by Mayhugh concerning Miss Egan and which appeared in the Terri- torial Enterprise in July last was brought to a close in the United States Circuit Court to-day. F. H. Nor- cross, attorney for Miss Egan, accepted a default against Mayhugh, who will pay | $1000 damages to Miss Egan. 1 The default amounts to admission upon | Mayhugh's part that the charges against Miss an were false. The trouble be. tween the two parties began while May- hugh was agent and Miss Egan superin- tendent of schools at the Western Sho- shone Indlan Reservation. In April last it culminated in a shoo!lng scrape at the | reservation, in which Mayhugh, J. Mever, | the agency farmer, ng John,” chief of Indian police, on the one side, and Miss Egan, Dr. Merriwether, the | Indian employe, on the other.

NEW YORK, March 13.—The purpose of Sir Thomas Lipton In the matter of his next challenge for the America’s cup | caused considerable comment among lead- fng vachtsmen to-day. In the first place Sir Thomas' deciston to bring over, two boats, the Shamrock and the new Erin, if allowed to do so by the New York | Yacht Club, evoked smiles and negative | shakes of the heads. All thought the | | deed of gift amounted to something and | | if it does Sir Thomas would not be given | the club’'s consent to send his two boats here for the purpose set forth. The pro- vision of the deed which covers this point | is as follows: “Accompanying the ten months’ notlce | of challenge there must be sent the name of the owner and the certificate of the | name, rig and following dimensions of the challenging vessel, namely: Length on load water line, beam at load water ling | and extreme beam and draught of water.” | 1f, therefore, notice of challenge and | the name, etc., of the vessel are required | by the New York Yacht Club, as usual, then Sir Thomas' purpose of trying out | his two boats off Sandy Hook and naming the challenging vessel at the last hour | would fail. The New York Yacht Club, of course, has waived the dimension clause of the provision except in the matter of the total | water-line length of the challenger, but that concession, it was held, had no bear- ing on the balance of the requirements noted. i MAY CLOSE T YOST. !

Huntington him self, who has been given credit for in augurating the Insurance plan on his roads. His closest subordinates on t Pacific Coast have been chary of medd much with the proposition. It has been roticeable since the ganized opposition became strongly deve!- oped that the headguarters officials have not been desirous of meeting the ployes’ committees. In fact, before the i could be groperly organized the word was | sent forth that the general manager had | left the State. Kruttschnitt departed the | night before the grievance committas was organized which is to represent the fiv3 large brotherhoods before the Southern Pacific officlals. The men were disappoin: - ed when they learned of the general man ager’s departure. His absence delays a | settlement of the contest, or at least an official presentation of the demands of tha men. | This cannot now be accomplished until | after Kruttschnitt's return, and it is sup ‘zlosed he will arrive with the rest of the | Huntington party. That the officials real- | ize there is much strength to the oppo- }sll\nn which has steadily developed to the scheme goes without saying. Every divi sion superintendent on the Southern Pa- | cific system has reported that the men | are dissatisfied, and will at least demand | & radical modification of the terms of the proposition. During the Interim the o erhoods are quietly but actively securing reports as to the sentiment of the men throughout the system. It is known that the two centers in this State outside of Oakland, namely, Sacramento and Los Angeles, are being canvassed, that when the grievance committee shall go befora | the officials they will know exactly what strength 1s behind them. ‘Word has been received in Oakland that the several thousand employes in the Sacramento railroad shops are practically | unanimous in their opposition to the in- | surance scheme, and tnat they will abso- lutely refuse under any circumstances to join the bureau. Reports from Los An- | geles indicate a similar condition of af- | fairs. In the Oakland yards it is reported | that many of the trainmen and minor | employes are beinz given assurance that in the event of serious irouble th will }be taken care of if they shall stand firm to_fight the Introduction of the scheme. | “In an unofficial way word has been sent to Oakland that it will be useless for tha rallroad men’'s committees to make any move until after Huntington's arriv: Realizing this situation the main com mittes is simply Erepnflng its statement to cover every phase of the objections they have to offer. It is certain that no definite move will be made until after April 1. The utmost secrecy is being ob- served by the brotherhoods. Their officers simply stand on the proposition that they are not yet ready to make public any of their plans. What may be done is mereiyv a matter of speculation. The trend of af- fairs is, however, to force a direct issua with the company officlals. and to wait for future developments. SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. FRANK H. FISHER OAKLAND, March 13—Dr. Frank F.
