IL WAR COMES


Our Navy Is Equal to tho Emcrsency--No
Fears Of European Powers.
Nrw foHK, Oct. 29.-Captain Erben,
OF the navy yard in Brooklyn, has made
this statement: Nothing official rcla-
tive to the course OF the government has
been received hore. In case it should
become necessary to send part OF the
navy to South America not more than
fourships would be needed to carry on our
operations against Chile and its navy.
1t is hardly probable that England, Ger
many or any OF the great powers OF
Europe would interfere between the
United States and Chile should war re-
suit between these countries from the
recent episode at Valparaiso, and if it
should be considered necessary to send
our navy TO the South Pacific there
would be no need Of holding back a
number OF war ships to protect
the coast in anticipation OF
trouble with the iiuropan govern
ments. As lar rs Germany is con-
cerned tho admiral OF her navy has
stated that he believed the treatment OF
the American sailors was an outrage
and that the United States government
had n right to rcparation. England,
however great may be its commercial
and financial interests in Chile. will
never take sides against the United
States in trouble arising from the recent
outrage.
"To get the cruisers and other vessels
now here ready ior the voyage
would take but few days.
The repairs on the Atlanta
could be completed in week or
ten days. The trip from here would be
to St. Thomas, where the vessels would
coal up, from there to Pernambuco. 10
Rio 'lanciro, to Montcvideo, around the
cape and up the coast to Valparaiso,
4 distance, roughly speaking, OF
1900 miles. This could be covered in
from 10 to 50 DAYS and in oven less by
some OF the cruisers at extra speed"
Said naval officer to-day, ave
should not need troops in Chile, for our
war vessels with their complement OF
marines and sailors would be ample for
tho purpose OF subjugatirg Chile should
it ever come to that point, which very

A STRANGE STORY.

a Man That Disappeared Yenra Ago Meats
His Family Under Queer circumstances.
baltimore, MD., Oct 20.-Tho AWeri-
can Of Friday will tell the story Of Paul
BGchwaId, who, in 1878, abandoned his
wife and children in this city, and reap
peared hero i little while ago in a house
where his wifa was visiting. Duchwald
expressed 4 desire to see his children,
and she gratilled his wish By taking
him to their various homes. a long
talk followed, during which ho
told his family he had lived in
Philadelphia since he last saw
them, fifteen years ago. IIo gave no
reason ior his sudden disappearance.
This, together with q natural desire by
tho children to learn moro OF their
father, caused inquiry in the Quaker
City. They learned he was married and
had wife and five children living in
Philadelphia. On Sunday last his two
sons, Henry and Philip, who reside in
this city, paid him avisit in Pmladel-
phia. Mrs. Buchwald admits her hus-
band had wife and children in Phila-
delphia. All the children here are pros
pering in their affairs.

LONDON, Oct. 20.--Tho Post, after re-
marking that tho naval inferiority OF
the United States will make it difficult
ior her to cocrcc Chile, expresses tho
hope that both parties will modify their
attitude before proceeding to hostilities.
The Telegraph, referring to the Chic
imbroglio. says: president Harrison
was perfectly justified in acting as he
did. Doubtless Minister Egan's ap-
pointmcnt has turned out to be the
worst that could have been made. His
action was n notorious violation OF the
obligations OF neutrality. But there Is
no reason in the world whythc Chileans
should adopt ndetiant attitude. II they
refused to make All investigation and
to punish the guilty persons, they were
acting under the impulse OF insensatc
pride. It will be necessary for the
United Statcs-doubtless aorely against
her will-to giyo thom salutary

a SERIOUS WRECK.


Collision Between u Freight AMI n Pnsscn-
ger Truin-Thrco Lives Lost.
Sr. PAUL, Oct. GA serious wreck
occurred at four o'clock this morning at
Taopi, l0G miles south OF st. Paul, at the
crossing OF the Milwaukee & Kansas
City roads. The Milwaukee freight was
five minutes behind time, and the Kan

Both trains were running at high speed
and met at right angles. Engineer
Chambers, OF the freight, tried to stop
his train, but without avail. When the
Two engines met he was pitched head

ST.. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.-An impor-
tant paper which was read recently at
the ST. Petersburg economist club is
about to be submitted to the minister
OF the interior and to the famine COM
mission, in the hope that they will be
sufficiently impressed with its recon-

This paper, in the main, urges that u
lower duty be placed upon importations
OF American cereals.
