'NOn0 Ill the WOElu, BIT. lG IS IdcC that about all the barns have been burned at that season of the year when the farm animals had to be sheltered in them, and, as a rule, there was no insurance upon them. Besides number of animals have been killed and maimed when there was no building burned; so you see the per- petrators of these outrages study to in- flict as much loss as possible on the own CT.
 "As to who is doing all this dirty work am unable to say positively. It is a fact that Costellos own great deal of land in Mansfield, and are always ready to buy more when it.can be had cheap, Of course property will be cheap as long as this thing goes on, so you might find Q motive there independent of revenge, which has so often been charged. If Jim Costello did not burn Flaherty's barn last Wednesday night, he might have had 1t done. I believe Flaherty tells the truth when he says he saw Jim Costello prowl- ing about his other barn one night, and shot at him, and if the fellow tried and did finally burn that barn, why not this last one?f That oil can found in the school house some time ago has never been accounted for-in fact, many suspi- cious things have never been satisfactorily explained. Jim Costello was convicted twice of defacing the little church at Storrs, and is now only out of jail on bail. Any one capable of such dirty business as he was convicted of Is capable of anything, isn't he?
 1T believe that Jim Costello could be convicted of this barn burning and cattle killing if some of our townspeople would go into court and tell what they know. have very little doubt of Jim Costello's guilt, but am afraid the business willcon- tinue despite the many accusations made against him, if our people don't do some thing besides talk" 4EE

Riordan and Thomas Daley the peo- pie who work in the webbing mills ar ranged for. a. bonfire of oil barrels, boxes, etc., which, were piled up high. It made a grand sight as the stream of fire leaped some forty feet into the air.. After the bonfire they adjourned to one of the emp nished by MT. Jflson to every one in Hop River, consisting of oranges, candy, cake, crackers, soda and sarsapalilla, also mu- sic for dancing, which was much enjoyed until late hour. -J.J.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The early set
tlement of the existing difficulties with
Chilli is confidently expected by officials
here. What the nature of the settle
ment will be depends entirely upon the
government of Chill. The policy of
waiting adopted by this government for
the reason that the difficulties that led
to the present condition of things oc-
Cured under the administration of the
provisional junta or government in
Chill which might not present in any
degree the belief of the people when the
matters are fairly put before them, but
it has never been proposed or conceived
even, that Chill would not be held to
strict accountability for the unfortunate
and wanton attacks by the Valparaiso
mob upon the Baltimore's men, resulting
in the death of two of them. That will
be vigorously pressed at the proper time
and in a proper way. The time has
now arrived. Today the provisional
government gives way to the new gov
ernment under President Montt, elected
since the fall of Balmaceda and the sue
cess of the congressionalists. 1t has
been hoped by President Harrison and
Secretary Blaine that in the new cabinet
minister of foreign affairs might be
found man who would not reflect views
of the radical element in the country,
which is evidently bent on refusing to
make suitable reparation for the attacks
upon the Baltimore's sailors and subse-
quent indignities heaped upon Minister
Egan and occupants of the United States
legation. This hope has been encouraged
by the expressions of Minister Montt,
who, in all his communications with the
state department, has given assurances
of the pacific intention of the Chilian
government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Secretary
Tracy's Office presented a busy scene
this morning. Within an hour he saw
Senator Allison, chairman of the senate
committee on appropriation. Senator
Cameron chairman of the committee
on naval affairs, Senator Butler, mem
ber of the same committee, Senators Frye
and Hale, Chief Constructor Wilson,
Chief Engineer Melville, Captain Phil
lips, who is to command the new cruiser
New York, Lieutenant Mason, Execu-
tive officer of the same vessel, Com
modore Folger, chief of ordnance, Com
mander Chfdwick, and lastly Charles
Cramp, ship builder. Notwithstanding
this sign of official activity and the re-
ports printed of the unusual work at the
navy yard, the officials of the navy de-
partment deny that there is the least
speck of war cloud on the
diplomatic horizon. Assistant Secre-
tary Tracy said that he had all ready
expressed his views as to the navy yard.
When asked whereathe San Francisco
was bound he declined to give definite
answer, but when reminded that the
last time she went out for "a years prac-
tice'' as reported by the department, she
had next been heardzef at Valparaiso,
he said that the vessel had no orders for
Chill. The naval officer who should
know, when asked if the cruiser was
bound for Acapulco, replied that she
would not go as far south as Mexico.
He also stated that the Baltimore is now
possibly north of Panama, on her way
to San Francisco.
At the department of state matters
moved along in the usual serene fashion,
and there is not trace of war-like ex-
citement. The officials say that nothing
has been heard from Minister Egan
since the 23rd inst.
At the war department neither acting
Secretary Grant nor Major General
Schofield had any information, in fact
the only sign of warlike preparation
visible at the executive departments
consisted in an order issued Saturday
/ for the Immediate preparation of the
new II inch gun just completed at the
navy yard here for transportation to
California together with 1000 pounds OF
powder and IL 900 shells.
