C., April 13.—Captain John J. Griffin, commercial agent of the | Norfolk and Western Railroad, was shot to death this afternoon in the rooms of Major Barnard B. Evans in this city. The arrest of Major Evans subsequently cre- ated a pronounced sensation. The two were alone and the occupants of the oining apartments were at din- ner. Major Evans summoned a physi- cian, saying that a man was hurt in his room. Dr. Gibbs found Qaptain Griffin in a dying condition and speechless on Ma- | jor BEvans’' bed. A 44-caliber revolver bul- | let had entered just above the left nipple. | “When Dr. Gibbs announced Griffin was dying he deciares that Evans, who had been drinking heavily, became excited and exclaimed that Dr. Gibbs lied; that Dr. Gibbs and not he himself had killed Griffin. The physician, under pretext of replacing a broken instrument, manag to get out of the room, although it is al- leged Evans declared that he should not do so. 1 Dr. Gibbs summoned the police and they were refused admissifon _untill Judge Ernest Gary, a cousin of Evans, arrived and demanded admission and submission to the officers. Evans struck Judge Gary and was taken to' jail in a state of hysteria, having declared that Captain Griffin_had taken his own life. In the room were evidences that one or both of the men had been drinking. Aside from this there js no known reason why Griffin should have killed himself or that Evans should have shot him. e dead man's face was bruised on both sides and there was an abrasion on the bridge of the nose. | His cane, clotted with blood, was several | teet from where blood marks_indicated that the fatal shot had taken effect. The right forearm of the dead man showed powder burns, but none was noticeable in the neighborhood of the wounds. Major Evans is a son of Brigadier Gen- eral Evans of the Confederate army, and is a brother of former Governor John G. Evans. who was adjutant general in 1898, and was himself in the Havana Postoffice Department at that time. Living Wax California Council No. 1 of the Daugh- | ters of Liberty gave an entertainment last night in Shiels Hall that was witnessed by a large number of members of the or- der and of members of the Junlor Order | of Unitea American Mechanics. The fea- | fure was the presentation of lving wax | works by members of the order of Daugh- { ters, who represented a number of chai acters well known in American history. | One that aroused the enthusiasm of the audience to a_nigh pitch was Betsy Ross, | fhe maker of the first American flag. When the figure was set in motion and unfolded Old Glory the entire audience arose and joined in singing “The Star- Spangled Banner.” In addition there was a programme of vocal and instrumental music, hncx. dancing and then a pro- | Eramime of dances for the youns folks. CASHIER TAKES MANY THOUSANDS Shortage in Coin of National Bank in Vermont Dis- covered. WASHINGTON, "April 13.—The Comp- troller of the Currency to-day appointed J. T. Sullivan of his office a temporary receiver of the Farmers' National Bank of Vergennes, Vt. Bank Examiner Frank L. Fish, during an examination of the bank on April 3, discovered a shortage in the cash, and a further investigation which has been con- ducted by Special Examiner John B. Cun- ningham indicates a total embezzlement by the cashier, D. B. Lewis, of $90,000. After the discovery of the defalcation the examiner secured the return of $35,000 to the bank. Until a more complete investi- ation into the acts of the cashier is made t is impossible to state what loss, if any, will accrue to the depositors. It is be- lieved, however, that the loss to the de- positors will be'large. Steps have been taken to place the cash- ler in custody, and his arrest is expected at any time. The last published state- ment of the condition of the bank bears date of February 5. According to this statement the deposits then amounted to an aggregate of about $466,000. e re- discounts and the bills payable aggregated It is believed the statement was inaccurate in several items.

BAY SOUNDS THE SERKTORS Secretary Seeks Information of Their Stand Regard- ing Canal. et b R Framing of a New Treaty With Great Britain Must Await the Re- sult of the In- quiries. | WASHINGTON, April 13.-There {s au- tharity for the following statement of the status of the Panama negotiations: “After the adjournment of the Senate and the lapse of the pending Hay-Faunce- fote treaty Secretary Hay decided to pur- sue the subjeet further. But to avold the possibility of anothes failure for the same reason as brought about the loss of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty the Secretary de- termined to reverse the usual method of | procedure in framing treaties.

It was realized that unless two-thirds at least of the Senate could be brought into agree- ment in advance upon the bat of the treaty it would be perfectiy useless for the eéxccutive to embark in negotiations | with Great Britain for the formation of | another convention. { Hay Is devoting himself now | rtainment of the feelings and | desires of the Senaiors and consequently | { | | not having completed this work he has ot begun negotiations with Great Britau It is not an easy under- taking to te e Senate In this fashi not only because of the number of ators who must be sounded, but also cause of the Indecisign of some of the me: who rank as leaders} “It is not even pussible to predict now | because the results obtained are so in- clusive that the Stute Department will | not be able to acquaint Lord Pauncefote with the basis upor which it is willing to negotiate for a Lreaty before the Em- bassador sails for Lendon next June. it is even possible that Lord Pauncefote may feel it incumbent upon®him to delay hi departure for a t!me or even to omit his | leave altogether if by so doing he can | better ascertain the Senate’s cond for the Embassador is naturally de: | to assure himself of success before again undertakes to itame a treaty which shall bear his name “It follows, negotiations not having been | started, that nothing has passed between | the governments of {he United States and | Great Britain res ng quid pro quo to Te demanded by Britain in_consid- eration of the releasc of the United States from the restrictions imposed by the Clay- ton-Bulwer treaty. | for a new treaty. VENTURA’'S STOREKEEPER XILLED BY LOCOMOTIVE Body Ley on the Track, but Police Say Suspicion of Murder Is TUnfounded. A man believed to be Charles J. Jokn- son was run over and killed at half-pasi 2 o'clock yesterday morning by a South- ern Pacific switch engine in the yards at the interesection of Kentucky and Six- teenth streets. H. W. Johnson, switca tender, was riding on the pilot of the en- gine and saw Johnson's body lying on the track. He gave the alarm to Edward Judd, the engineer, but the engine was too ¢lose to the body to be stopped ‘n time and the wheels passed over it, crush- | ing the skufl. Papers found in his pockets showed that he was a member, of the Seaman’s Union. Engineer Judd was arrested by Policema John Dolan, but was released by Pol's Judge Fritz on depositing $0 cash bai'. Policeman Dolan made a statement yes | terday that at half-past 1 o'clock vester- day morning he and Wa.chman McBride of the Southern Pacific Ccmpany saw two men going out on'Long Bridge. One of the men, who answered the description of the dead man, was very drunk and when questioned said that he belonged to the steamer Ventura, that his name was John- |son and that his commanion was his | friend. o | Detectives O'Dea and Ryan were placed lon the case and found that Johnson was | storekeeper of the Ventura and h | left the steamer on F) y afternoon witn |a sailor named Jensen. The detectives are now searching for Jensen. No money was found on the person of the dead man His watch was missing and the chain and ring were left in his vest. | The police, after full investigation, say | the suspicion that Johnson met with foul play and that his body was placed on the track so ithat the engine might destroy evidence 4f crime is entirely unfounda —————— TWO MEN SERIOUSLY CUT ON THIRD STREET Three Men Start Row in Lodging- House and One Uses a Knife. A cutting affray that resulted in the se- rious wounding of Dr. Craig and John Driscoll, or Bristle, occurred last night about midnight in front of the Eagle Roost saloon at 9 Third strent. The doc- tor received a gash across the nose and cheek and Driscoll had i = ear almost severed from his head. The row that led to the slashing started in the lodging-house over the saloon. and was caused by one of the trio arrested of- fering an insult to a woman residing in the house. The men left the place and were fol- lowed downetairs a few moments later by Dr. Craig. Driccoll and another lodger. Both crowas met in the saloon and blows Were exchanged. The men then went out on the sidewalk and as Craig ahd his com- anion attempted to re-enter the lodging- Rotice they were stabbed. The men who did the cutting re-entered the saloon to wash their hands and were arrested there. A wicked-looking pair of brass knuckles and a small penknife coy- ered with blood were found in the lava- tory used by the men. The names of the men arrested are Philip Hein, James Moore and John Carbone. | MERCHANTS REQUEST LOWER TARIFF RATES Make a Reduction in Philippine Customs Duties. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- soclation, acting in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce and other commer- clal bodies on the Pacific Coast, has draft- ed a resolution which is to be forwarded to the Secretary of War, asking for a re- duction of the customs tariffs between this country and the Philippines. Under the existing schedule flour is taxed about 30 per cent, and the mer- chants ask to have this materially re- duced, as American flour is in great de- mand in the Philippines. Prepared cereals for table use under the present tariff are taxed almost 100 per cent, which renders it almost impossible to ship them with any profit to the islands. A reduction in the rates on prunes and crude petroleum is also requested. In re- gard to the former article, the resolution states that prune raising is one of the most important industries of this State and that a considerable portion of last year’s crop remains unsold and that the crop this year is expected to be very large, and that therefore a market in the Orient is very desirabl ———————— William E.

AM RICA 1S ENDEAVORING TO CUT IN HALF THE CLAIMS AGAINST CHINESE GOVERNMENT Russia, Germany and France Lead in Making What Is Considered the llost Exorbitant Demands for Indemnity. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.| W., WASHINGTON, April 13.—Rockhill, | United States Special Commissioner to China, has sent the State Department a revised statement of the claims thus far filed by the powers against the Chinese | Government. The aggregate of the claims | is lower than at first reported, being un- der $400,000,000, but the authorities regard this as exorbitant and will endeavor to cut it in half. Rockhill's information shows that the claims of the powers to date are about the figures given below: Russia, $90.000,000; Germany, $70,000,000: | France, $40.000.000; Japan, $20,000,000; United States, $25,000,000; Great Britain, $24,000,000; | Belgium, $5.790,000; Italy. Austria and| Spain, $30,000.000: grand total, §314,790,000. | Some of the powers have not itemized | their claims, and Rockhill's figures are| Special Dispatch to The CalL only in the nature of rough estimates. Tt would not be sirprising. therefore, should the claims amount to more than the total stated. The Russian claim is as large as given because of the invasion of Russian territory by Chinese troops and the de- struction of Russian homes and the mur- der of Russian subjects, the destruction of railroad property in Manchuria and the dispatch of so many troops into China. France's claim is large because under the y her protection of na- tive Christians is_establiched. There are 30,000 Catholics who suffered death as a ® | result bf the operations of the Boxers. Rockhill has cabled to the department that the Ministers will consider next week the question of reducing indemnities. They were expected to pass to-day upon the plan of the United tSates that the powers determine upon a lump sum as the in- demnity to be demanded, which shall be distributed equitably among the powers by the foreign Ministers in Peking, and in case of their failure to agree. by the Hague court. This plan has not beem definitely acted on or rejected. It fs noy believed, however, that it wiil be adopte | in its entirety. Great Britain and Japan have indicated that they will support the American proposal for a reduction of the indemnity. 3 There is reason to believe that the ker< | net of the American proposition, touching | the distribution of indemnity funds be- tween the powers, is found in a sugges- | tion that the allotment be made upon the ‘bas!s of the number of troops actually | employed by cach power in the relief of | the legations. By this scheme the forces brought into China since the occupation .of Peking are disregarded, as being en- tirely unnecessary to secure any lawful and unanimously desired end. On this basis Great Britain ranks first. “France second, the United States third and so on. T e e S e e el Music in the Park.
