CHILL COOLING OFF
The Fiery South Americans

HAVE HEARD OF OUR NAVY.
Willing Now to See Justice Done to the
Assailants of u. s. Sailors.

Captain schlOy's Conduct Meeting With
Great Praise-Chi Hasn't Much of u
Naval Force Anyway.
VALPARAISO, Nov. 21.-A correspon-
dent has made special inquiries to as
certain the condition of public feeling
on the subject of the difficulty with the
United States, and finds that the fiery
sentiment which prevailed again st
Americans has consider ably cooled
down. The Chilians talk more rationa :
ly as to the American request for re-
ing disposition to see that justice is done
to those who assaulted the American
sailors, and killed two of them.
Undoubtedly the report telegraphed
from New York of the formidable fleet
said to be on its way to Pacific waters
has something to do with the change of
sentiment in Valparaiso, at least The
people here are not anxious for bonn
bardment They have come to the con-
clusion that the United States is in earn
est, and the more intelligent among
them have taken pains to ascertain
| something about American power and
resources. They understand now that
| il Americans should decide upon ON
bardment, they would not be deferred
by interference of other nations in be-
half of Chilli, and that the Chiliaps
would have to take care of the III selves
When the war furore was first raised
here, Englishmen went about in swash-
buckling fashion giving the Chilians to
| understand that the British feet would
never permit Americans to damage VAL
paraiso. This had much to do with the
defiant attitude of Chill. Now that it
is evident that the only British ally
would be the correspondent of the Lon
don "1imes," to whose Commands the
American admiral would probably not
pay much attention, the situation is
different, and Valparaiso has con cluded
not to court bombardment. Conse-
quently Americans are treated with
more respect, and there is no disposit ior
to do violence to American Off GERS Oh
| seamen.
Capt Schley's conduct meets with
| universal praise. He has been calm anC
deliberate under the most provoking
circumsta noes. This combined with dig
nifty and firmness has won him the re
spect even of the lower and less intelli-
gent as we'll as the superior class.

Opposed to the Reorganization.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Nov 21.-There is
considerable opposition among deposi t.
County Savings Institution, due to the
fact that Superintendent Preston of the
State Banking Department in his plan
does not mention whether the old trus-
tees will have charge of the Management
Of the institution, and that the petition
circulated for depositors to sign petition
ing the court to make an order allowing
resumption, omits mention of trustees.
There is talk of a meeting of depositors
to petition the court to remove the
trustees. The signers to the petition
for resumption are few.

THE DEAD ACTOR.
Arrangements for Florence's Funeral
"Reminiscences of His Life.

NEW York, Nov. 21.-The body of
William j. Florence lies at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where the comedian had
made his home for the past thirty years.
1t will remain here until Monday at II
o'clock, when the funeral will take
place from st. Agnes Church. The in
terment will be in the family vault at
Greenwood. Mrs. Florence is now on
her way home, having sailed on the
Aurania.
There is no end now of stories about
Mr.. Florence, and the pranks he played.
Florence, Ned Sothern, Nelse Seymour
and Dan Bryant were a quartette who
made fun wherever they went.
At one time Florence and Sothern
were both playing in st. Louis-Flor-
ence in 1.-THE Mighty Dollar" and Soth-
ern in either 'Dundreary'' or Brother
Sam" In the midst of one of Florence's
best scenes who should appear on the
stage but Sothern, who had taken ad-
vantage of half hour off in his own
play to make public visit to his friend.
The next night Florence called upon
Sothern in the same way, and both au-
diences saw a double performance much
to their delight. At another time,
when Florence knew that Sothern was
to be in St. Louis, he advertised for
!, 900 bulldogs to be left at Dundreary's
door.
Florence used to say the first practi-
cal joke that was ever played on him
was the means of getting him out of a
scrape, aud he felt kindly toward that
form of wit ever since.
1t was when he was a lad, playing
minor comedy parts in a Broadway thea
ire at $40 a week. He thought he was
madly in love with young actress at
work for the same stipend. During the
play one night he invited her to take
some oysters after the performance.
Then he rushed to his lodgings, changed
his clothes, met her and took her to an
oyster house.
His bill there was 81. 80, but unfor tu-
in his other clothes. The waiter and
the proprietor both said his story was
too diaphanous, and made him give up
| his watch and his fathers ring that he
| wore. Just then a whitehaired, benevo
lent looking old gentleman came out of
one of the private dining compartments
they used to have in those days and
Numbered at the proprietor:
''Give that youth back his watch and
chain and ring. Let me pay his bill
You ought to be ASHAMED, sir. Anyone
can see this is an honest youth and his
companion is a perfect lady. 1.-THE girl
was in tears.] will pay the bill and
never set foot in your place again"
Out in the street Florence was over
| come with gratitude.
"Give me your address, SIR" said he
to the kindly old gentleman. 81 will
return you the money tomorrow.
"Oh, never mind" said the philan
thropist, "that was a counterfeit $2(
bill handed to the old fool. 1t was
worth nothing, and he gave me $19. 4
change for it. That's the way I max
! my living. Good night"

NOT MUCH OF A NAVY.
ChiIrs Ships Greatly Overrated, Says
United States Officer.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 21.-One of the
officers of the San Francisco, which has
just returned, declared that the Gillian
navy had been greatly overrated. Said
he
'1hey have several good vessels, but
not one is a match for the Bal timore or
San Francisco. They have nine and
ten inch Armstrong guns, but the gun
ners are SO unskilful that they do nc
effective work.
For instance, 1 witnessed the bonn
bardment of Fort Vina del Mar by the
Almirante Cochrane and the Esmeralda,
Both have the best equipment, but at "a
distance of 2, 900 yards not a single shot
hit the fort. Only one shell fell at the
foot of the en- bankment in front of the
fort, and did no damage. At such a
distance with proper handling of the
guns the fort ought to have been dis
mantled in 10 minutes. "
