' An American Missionary Who Acquired Property and Got Into Trouble :wlth the Siamese Royal Family. '1. _The late Dr. Marion A. Check, of Oak- land, who went to Siam some years ago ' as zit-medical missionary, had some rc- markable experiences in the “land of the white elephant.” He raised ele- phants for a- living. That was one of his investments in the Orient, and out of it grows a. claim his widow has for $80,000 against the Siamese govern- ment. Dr. Cheek’s drove of elephants had become the source of a. great deal of diplomatic correspondence between Siam and the United States. Interna- tional difficulty, that is still in process of settlement, arose over the 176 ele- phants. The story of Dr. Cheek’s adventures in the east reads like a. romance. He went to Siam a missionary of the Chris- tian religion. His knowledge of medi- cine stood him in good stead. He in- gratiated himself into the hearts .of the princes of the land as well as the able cures of disease unfathomable-mys- tery. Dr. Check was an American. He overlooked no opportunity to better his condition. He gained valuable conces- sions from the Siamese government and established the business of logging teak timber of Bangkok, the capital. The re- turns were so great that some of the native princes in the interior cast long- ing eyes upon the profits the American was turning. _ ' One of them suggested a. partner- ship. Dr. Check was loath to accept the proposition, but he decided that his own welfare demanded that he join hands with the dusky prince. The doc- tor had an agreement with his princely partner as to the distribution of the. labor. Cheek agreed to do the actual work. He went 500 miles into the teak timber district and hired many native laborers. He likewise secured 176 ele- phants. The doctor had indifferent suc- cess one season. The river was low and no logging could-be done. The prince became dissatisfied. He was ap— peased, thought Dr. Check, the fol- lowing year, when a double quantity of timber was floated into Bangkok. Then the trouble commenced. The government took a. hand. The doctor’s partner and prince assigned his interest in the firm to the royal family. The ruling powers were becoming dissatis fied with foreign interests and their extension in Siam. The excuse was readily found 1" or action. The failure to make a. shipment of timber one season Opened the way. The government stepped in and confiscated Dr. Chee ’3 plant, elephants and all. p This summary action ended the Cheek logging business. The doctor returned, . to Bangkok. He made several inef- fectual protests. Then he placed his troubles before the United States min: ter. He claimed the confiscation had deprived him of business of great value, and a prospect of making a clean-up of $100,000. - ' The long delay that ensued left Dr. Check with little hope. After much diplomatic correspondence, he succeed- ed in having some of the confiscated property returned to him. But a claim of $80,000 is still unadjusted, and it went to his widow as her only legacy from the doctor, who died at Bangkok on July 4, 1895. Theclaim has been approved by the United States government for the full amount, and the United States minister at Bangkok has been instructed to re- quest its payment. Accumulated in- terest brings it up to $100,000. Minister Barrett at Bangkok has made every effort. to bring the matter to a focus. The Siamese government is said to be desirous of submitting it to arbi- tration. . The will of Dr. Cheek has been filed and probated in Alameda. county. His widow and two children now reside in Oakland. They have local counsel, who are pressing the payment of the claim to their utmost—San Francisco Examiner. WHAT A_ METEOR CAN DO. People Who Value Their Lives Will Dodge When Possible. We owe our immunity to our a-t- mospherre, which serves as a bullet- proof cuimss for the world. When a meteor enters the atmosphere, the fric- tion produced by its gigantic speed Acestes, only more so. The ingenious experiments of Lord Kelvin have shown that the heat thus produced just as a brake showers sparks from a. carriage wheel, or a lucifer match lights on the box, is sufficient to consume the meteor as if it were suddenly cast into a. fur- nace heated to three or four million degrees. Obviously the smaller me- teors are utterly consumed before they have penetrated far into the atmOS~ phere, which their fate has shown to rise to a. height of about 120 miles. Only a. very large one can descend, as that of Madrid is said to have done, to within 20 miles of the earth, before being burst by the expansion due to heat and by the resistance of the air. The fact that fragments do occasion- ally reach the earth is the best proof of the great size of some of the meteors that we encounter. If it were [not for the “blessed air” the explosion of them all, with the accompanying fervent heat, would take place in our midSt. It is safe to say that such a'state of things would render our great towns unin- habita-ble. In L‘ondon we are somewhat inclined to gird at the atmosphere, with its smoke and its fog and its east wind. But none of us can tell how often it has saved him from a terrible and invisible fate, in being, as Mark Twain has it, "shot with a. rock.” If we are more in- clined to recognize the atmosphcre’s services in future, the Madrid meteor will not have exploded in vain—London 'Lead....

TH E EVE N 1 N G G AZET TE Paonisrrxorisrs' current. , An Exciting Occurrence at the Natlond ’ Convention In Pittsburgh, , PITTSBURG, May 28—53119 'scventh‘ na‘ tlonal convention of the Prohibition party was called to order in this city today in Exposition hall. - There Were nearly as many seats on the platform as in-the body of the ball. This was only one of the features of theogath- crin'g. which offered a humorous side to consideration in contrast with the earnest- pess which otherwise marked the proceed- ngs. . ' There was a large attendance. ‘ Mr. H. ‘L. Castle, chairman of the committee on reception, in his address of welcome said that be welcomed the convention “as the representatives of an army of 300,000 of the most loyal and single hearted patriots and of 600,000 as devoted, consecrated wo- men as ever gathered under any banner or made warfare against any enemy." When at the opening of the formal pro- ceedings the chairman of the national committee presented the name of Mr. A. A. Stevens of Tyrone, Pa., as temporary chairman, the rebellion of the minority broke out. Chauncey W. Dunn of California rose to a point of order and asked Mr. Dickie to rule upon it. He offered as a substitute a minority report substituting the name of, Edward J. Wheeler as the temporary chair- man in place of Mr. Stevens. Mr. Dickie ruled the motion out of or- der and ordered Mr. Dunn to take his seat. Mr. Dunn refused to do so for some time. and a scene of uproar ensued. Mr; Dunn appeals from the decision of the chair, and Mr. ickle refused to en- tertain the appeal. Mr. Stevens in the meantime had come forward, but had been met by such per- sistent cries for Dickie that he gave way. Mr. Dickie asked Mr. Dunn whether it he ruled on the point of order this uproar Would subside. Mr. Dunn replied that it was not an up- roar, but simply a demand for their rights. Mr. Dickie repeated his ruling that the minority report, which was signed by ex- Governor St. John and others, was out of order and again refused to entertain an appeal from this decision, whereupon Mr. Dunn declared that all parliamentary prec- edent had been violated, and Mr. St. John took up the discussion with no better re- sult. He was followed by Mr. Woodbey, a negro delegate from Nebraska, and con- fusion continued. Chairman Stevens ordered him to be seated. - Mr. Woodbey refused. ' “Then,” said Mr. Stevens, “1 shall or- der you to he removed from the conven- tion." Mr. Woodbey accentuated his rebellion by standing on his chair and shouting at the top of his voice, and Mr. McWhlrter of Indiana came to the rescue of the chair by asserting that Mr. Woodbey was not even entitled to the floor as a delegate. Then the band was called upon to drown the uproar and to give the chairman time to recover his wind and his composure, both considerably disturbed. Meanwhile half the convention was walking the floor, and a squad of policemen were ushered into the hall to keep order. Masses (moss ABOUT HERMANS. ' The Chain of Circumstantial Evidence Against Him Is Complete. SALT LAKE CITY, May 28.-—No positive information has yet reached the officials here as to the whereabouts of the Rev. Francis Hermans, although the police department has been alert for the past five days for some clew that would assist in locating hint. It is believed that if Hermans We're inndbent of theappalling crime of which he is charged, he would certainly telegraph his friends in this city to that effect. The officers now assert openly that never before have they been able to forge so complete and strong a chain of circumstantial evidence in any case of great concern as in this. They are now directing their efforts to learn what became of Annie K. Samuel- sOn. The disappearance of her trunk and the purchase of a large wooden box by the minister a few days before her disap- pearance lead to the theory that her body was not burned up, as was that of Hen- rletta Clausen. Some time ago Hermann presented to the wife of the Rev. Mr. Mark a package of handkerchiefs, which he said formerly belonged to his wife. One of the handkerchiefs bears the initials “A. K. 8.," which are those of Miss Samuelson. The ‘Vcather. Generally fair; slightly cooler; westerly winds. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Closing Quotations of the New York Stock Exchange. NEW YORK.
