NEW YOHK , April 22. Collls P. HuntIngton -
Ington , president of the Southern Pacific rail
road , was arrested-today on a charge of
giving a free pass to ono Prank Stone In
violation of the Interstate commerce law.
President Huntlngton was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Shields. Ho was
represented by his counsel , Frederic It.
Coudert. Huntlngtcn admitted his Identity.
He wag taken before Judge Drown of the
United Stales district court for a warrant of
removal to California.
The Indictment against Huntlngton was
found on March 26 In San Prancleco , a certi
fied copy of which was rent to United States
District Attorney MacTarlane , > vho notified
the railroad president to appear before a
UnlteJ States commissioner and furnish bonds.
When Mr Huntlngton was arraigned Com
missioner Shields said the only question he
could Inquire Into was the one of Identity ,
which Mr Coudert , for Mr. Huntlngton , saU
would bo admitted.
An order was then made holding htm to
await the Issue of n warrant of removal.
Counsel then went before Judge Drown of
the United States court , and a hearing was
fixed for next Thursday at 3 o'clock. Mr.
Huntlngton In the meantime being allowed
to go on his own recognizance
Mr. Huntlngton salj to a reporter , after
the procedlngs before Commissioner Shields :
"I have known Prank Young for twenty-five
> eara. He Is a San Francisco lawyer. I
would not call him a wicked man , because
a wicked man would not do things that way.
He Is an Innocent kind of a fellow. I suppose
ho has started this thing because I have
piqued him In some way or other , how I
don't know
"I may have given him a pass ; probably
did , but I give out so many pastes that I
don't remember one-third of them. The
passes that are usually given out are en
dorsed , as a rule , "not good outside the
stau , " and I pre'umo his pass was not so
stamped and ho took advantage of It.
"I don't know anything about the matter
beyond that , for I don't piy any attention
to such things In fact , I don't care tup-
pcnco one way or the other. It don't
amount to anyttlng , anyhow.
"I really don't know what action was taken
In court this motnlng Some routine busi
ness I suppose It was. , but I did not pay any
attention.
"Arrests arc made among the high and
low and criminal procedure Is not confined
to any class I don't know what -will be
dono. I guess Trank got the pass all right ,
but I have not time lo attend to all the de
tails I have too much else to do.
"I think the root of the whole matter lies
In the fact that when I became president o ;
the Southern Pacific railway 1 discharged
twenty-three men out In San Francisco , who
wero. so far as I could pee , mere polltlca
agents and go-betweens for politicians. They
did no work for the railway that I could
see and I cast them off. Perhaps they an
hungry now and have got to make a slrlki
somewhere. "
SAN FHANCISCO. April 22. C P. Hunt
Ington Is mistaken as to the cause of his ar
rest. It Is not Prank M Stone who Is afte ;
him , but the American Hallway union lur

Hallway union strikers In this city for viola
tlons of the Interstate commerce law , Tranl
M Stone , a politician and lawjer , was calle
as a witness for the prosecution Ho had
been n passenger on n train stopped b ;
strikers , and his testimony was wanted by th
government to convict them. Attorney Mon
telth , who defended the strikers , cross-ex
amlnoJ Stone , and during that examination
elicited the fact that Stone traveled on i
pass. The pass was an Interstate one. bu
Stone said he had never used It outsldo o
California. After this testimony Montcltl
applied for a warrant for the nrrest of Hunt
Ington , but It was refused by the actln
United States district attorney. Finally th
federal grand Jury Indicted Iluntlngton , an' '
after the government ofllcials had waited U
vain for the railroad magnate to come wes
and bo arrested , the warrant was tent on t
New York to be served.

cently tentenced by a Trench court-martial
to Imprisonment for twenty years , and who ,
as exclusively announced by the Associated
press , arrived hero on Saturday last on board

erable attention In view of the fact that It

Mr. Waller was manacled while on board
the DJemnah , on the northwest coast of the

It Is reported that he will eventually be In
prison on the Island of Corsica or on the
Safety Islands. During thavoyage Mr. Wal
ler spoke but little , although he frequently
asked to be allowed permission to write. The
French ofllcials declined to grant this request
on account of his refusal to agree to show
them the letter he Intended to write. When
before the court-martial Mr. Waller. It Is
claimed , refused to speak In Trench and the
services of an Interpreter had to \ > a cm-
ployed during the trial.
Mr. Waller's nephew , who Is 23 years o

Madagascar. He embarked as a secoiid class
passenger on board the DJemnah , but lamlm

to Umrii Klmn.
CALCUTTA , April 22. A dispatch was re
ceived at Simla this morning from Sir Robert
Low , the commander of the British expedi
tion against Umra Khan , confirming the an
nouncement made In these dispatches last
night that Chltral Tort had been relieved.
The last previous advices received from the
front stated that the column commanded by
Colonel Kelly , which had been advancing
upon Chltral from Gllgat , after passing over
the Shander pass between Oilgat and Chltral ,
had arrived at a spot fifteen miles from
Chltral and It Is therefore supposed that It
was Colonel Kelly who relieved the British
garrison.
General Galacrel's flying column has
reached Dlr and the main body Is following
rapidly.
A sensation has been caused In military
and other circles by the discovery by Sir
Itobert Low at Malnkalal of a lot'-i to Umra
Khan from a Bombay firm , offer . , g to supply
him with every kind of modern weapon and
enclosing photographs of quick-firing guns.

SAN TRANCISCO , April 22 Joaqun | Miller -
ler , the Poet of the Sierras , who is notable
for his eccentricities of apparel as well as
for the quality of his verse , . Ilgjures asflckle
lover In a tale which has"1 been wafted by
southern breezes from the Hawaiian islands.
The name of the young woman connected
with the po t in the gossip Is Araba Miller
Oliver. She Is about 17 years of ago and her
freshness and beauty contrast with the ad
vancement In life of the famous poet.
The story from the Islands , where love Is
likened to perpetual summer. Is that Miller
abandoned the joung vvoman , who is soon
to become a mother , and that she Is now
wholly dependent on charity. She Is living
with a mtlvo family and has been waiting In
vain for assistance from Miller. When he
arrived In Honolulu he represented that she
was his daughter , the report stated.
Joaquln Miller was averse to discussing the
accusation when visited by a reporter ycster
day. He did not want to enter Into any dls-
put- > with the girl In order to defend him
self and was willing that her statements go
uncontradlcted. It appears that he Is still
fond of her and from a , remark which he let
drop It was Inferred that he nilght return to
Honolulu If he can do so with safety , for the
purpose of soslng her again. Miller was In
clined to think that the ccandal about him
had been set afloat by persons In Hawaii
whom he offended by his published criticisms
ot the political conditions of the Islands.

SAN FHANCISCO. April 22. Miss Mar
garet Craven , a California girl who has
achieved success on the stage In the cast , is
on a visit to her mother. She arrived In this
city direct from New York. - She left Indian
apolis at the height of whatwould have ben
represented as a very succ ssful season.
The question naturally uppermost in the
minds of the public is , Has her coming any
connection with the Fair will' A visit to
the Ciavcn residence did not wholly clear
up the question. Miss Craven was not ac
cessible. Mrs. Craven said her daughter
had brought no new Fair will from the east
and that the contest over the will of the
late James G. Fair had nothing'Whatever to
do with her Journey west. Mrs Craven Is
the school teacher who recently produced a
will purporting to have been made by the
late millionaire and which will be the basis
of contention in the courts.

court this morning n crowd commenced to
gather and n squad of policemen were sta
tioned In different parts of the room on the
lookout for cranks , who have written threat
ening letters to the Judge. Before the court
opened at 11 o'clock 5,000 people surrounded
the hall and filled the approaches. When the
defendant arrived In court all eyes were
turned upon him and he was sketched from
all points of view by the newspaper artists
present. The prisoner looked palo and con
cerned , but showed no emotion. A photog
rapher exhibited several photographs of the
scene In the church and two Urge pictures of
larlan Williams , showing the vvoundi and
10 work of the physicians , were exhibited and
ttracted much attention. They presented a
ev oiling sight.
Mrs. Morgan , with whom Miss Williams
vcd In Alamcda , was called to the stand ,
ha said that sli3 last saw Marian Williams on
tm morning of the 12th Instant , and that de-
cased had told her she was going to Mrs.

SHE DEMANDED HIS RELEASE.
Hera the name of A E. Williams , the
ather of the dead girl , was called , but In his
lace a joung woman rushed to Ihe stand
nd said that no one should testify before
or. She gave the name of Williamson , and
aid that she would be Ihe one lo Judge Durant -
ant and ordered him released The police
rlcd lo remove her , bul she would not let
hem touch her , but left Ihe stand voluntarily
ftar some words. She handed an Incoherenl

She disappeared after being removed from the

A E Williams then took the stand and

The afternoon session commenced with Ser
geant Burke on the stand. He tesllfled as lo

SIGNS OT BLOOD IN THE CHURCH.
Ssrgeonl BurKe then gave a hit of sensa-
: lonal evidence , which has not como out
bi-fore today. He said that when he , ir
company with olher officers , examined the
: avalory , or washroom , In the back of the
church , Just to Ihe rear of Ihe pulpit , he
saw blood stains on the wash basin and wal
just above It. Sergeant Reynolds , In chargi
of the serachlng scju.id , had called his attcn
lion lo these stains.
Mrs. Mary McCoy , a laundress , testified she

overcoit and dark , soft hat.
A dispatch from Napa , Cal. , sajs thai Alt
Church , who has been closely associated
with some of the Emanucl church people ,
stated In nn Interview. "As soon as I
heard Minnie Williams was murdered I con
nected Durrani with the murder , as he had
been most Intimate wllh her , and I knew
that ho had a key that would unlock but
would not lock the sldo door. I had known
Durrani flvo years and have warned Minnie
Williams against going wllh him. " The Im-
portanl parl ot this stalement lies In the
declaration that Durrani's key would un

Mrmtnrrn Oimo In the 1'ritrrnl
Court Postponed Ono Dii ) .
A new feature Is developing In the com
tcntlon between the riournoy Land cajiipanj
anil Captain Heck of the Wlnncbago Indian
agency. The Indians arc IlUcly to taKe
hand , and possibly a few scalps , unless tin
controversy Is settled quickly ami satls
factorlly. Such Is the opinion of United
States District Attorney Sawjer , who hat
Just returned from the Wlnncbigo reserva-
tlon , where he mingled with the Indians foi
sc\crnl dn > s. He found the temper of th
majority among the tribes of the Omnhai
and Wlnnobagos to bo unmistakably In fa\ot
of waiving the formalities of Jurisprudence
and settling the question \\lth lead and
steel.
steel.Mr.
Mr. Sawjor sijs that there Is a great
spirit of unrest and suppressed excitement
among the Indians and It wns Just such a
c.iso as the present , one that precipitated the
outbreak among \Ylnncbagos In 1SC2 ,
when they wore on their reservation which
was at that time located In Minnesota. Ho
talked \\lth ono survivor of that famous mas
sacre the other diy and the aged warrior
frankly told him that history was llablo to
repeat Itself and that with GOO fighting menu ,
\u la lo they were able to clem out Thu'ttoa
iciinly some morning before breakfast. If the
ucstlon wns not coon settled. Convoisalton
vlth others elicited the fact that It was
vith great dllllculty that the piclllc mem-
icrs of the tribes caused patlenca anil
ibedleneo to the wishes of Captain Deck , the
nd Ian agent , who favored a peacc-
'n 1 settlement of the dltllculty.
'liey wcro ready to fight at
ny time and were only held In check by the
gent and promises of relief from the prcs-
nt trouble. As Captain Heck his authority
0 commission every Indian on the reservation
1 pollccmnn It Is predicted that the an-
hority thus vested would encourage nn out-
ireak. With this fact In mind Captain
lock 1ms commissioned but sixteen Indian
lco , although ho admits that he will en-
'orco tlia government regulations If It takes
ivory Indian on the reservation.
Air Sawjor sajs that the Indians rct'pcct
Ciptaln Heck and nru solliJIy behind him In
the present trouble. The prejudice against
Captain Heck said to bo fostorcd by mcm-
eis and filcnds of the riournoy Lind com-
iny at I'ender only has n tendency to
Udeii the gap between the Indians and the
ivhlto3. Settlers leasing from the riournoy ,
Land company nro thus between two flrea ,
because they would be the first victims of an
outbreak , thould ono occur , and , according
to the conservative opinion of the district
attorney , such a possibility Is not at all re
mote. It is said that the more radical element -
ment among the tribes , which fortunately la
now In the minority , deslro to resent the In
dignities which have been heaped upon them
n the past by reservation "followers , " who
Imvo cheated them out of their cattle , cold ,
them liquor and "touched" thorn for
their looeo coin and In divers
ways given them the worst of It. The
cupidity of these "followers , " who nro ( hlck-
'st on ration day , Is but the smallest por-
lon of their grjpvance. Mr. Savvjcr fur
ther avers that some of the Keillors have
failed to pay the Indians for leasing their
lands and that the riournoy Land company
regime Is partlcuhrly unpopular with the
reds. While Captain Heck has splendid con
trol over the Indians ho Is frequently absent
from the reservation on business , and upon
ono of these occasions , especially since th
recent Incarceration of two Indian policemen ,
the braves were llablo to break IOOBO and
create a reign of terror In Thurston county.
THINKS HH CAN HOLD THEM.
Captain Deck , who Is In the city , was scon
with relation to the rumors of danger of an
Indian outbreak , and ho admitted that such
a thing was possible , as the Indians were
; rowlng Impatient , but ho had Infinite faith
n his ability to control them. Ho believe
that an uprising would bo averteJ uglesi the
riournoy Land company dngered the In
dians Into vlole-nt deportment. The cap
tain was confident that the courtn would
settle the matter and would settle It right.
In the meantime ho hoped and believed the
Wlnnebagos and Omahas would calmly await
developments and peaceably abide by hla
wishes for peace. Ho said .the Indians had
good canso for grievance. Eve-n lh
money collected for Indian children
had not been paid. It was a clear violation
of guardianship confidence and when an
Indian's child was wronged It generally found
resentment In the hearts of the trlbo. Ha
stated to a reporter that ho had Judgi
merts against Pienldent Lemmon and Secio-
tary Myer of the Flournoy Land company to
the total extent of $1,1SO , for moneys col
lected for Indian minors and not pnld over ,
Ho had other such cases to push. The
Indians , ho said , were now developing a keen
Interest In the case. They have lately estab *
llf-hcd a relay of couriers and as roon as
Information Is obtained It Is transmitted
quickly and In a few hours all the Indiana
are posted on current events.
Captain Heck said that while W. D.
Peebles was not a member of the Flotirnoy
Land company , he got a rake-off for his hotel
at render , and naturally , In conjunction with
other citizens of Tender , was In sympathy1
with the company. Ho said that with on
energy born of despair the agents of the
company had obtained affidavits under falao
pretenses and that In some Instances tha
signatures were forgeries. Ho had men hers
to prove the latter assertion , notably Oscar
Drlng and S. J. Larson.
Captain Deck said that not only was lie
going to bring the company and others to
account "ofllclally" in the land case , but
when that was settled ho Intended to take
action "personally" for some acts of certain
Pender citizens. IIu Intends to bring an
editor to account for publishing a carlcatura
of himself , and he Is after the olllclul of tha
Western Union Telegraph company at Tender ,
whom he has reported to Colonel dowry , far
alleged "tapping" of telegrams In transit
between Omaha and Dakota City. The cap *
