A VERY formidable war vessel is
about to fly Uncle Sans colors. She is
the monitor aptonomoh, much al
tered from her original design as built
Just after the war. She is 1884 feet
long, and carries in two double 'turrets
four ten-inch rifle guns, the most eff
dective ship guns we have yet turned
cut She is belted with twelve and on g.
half inches OF steel and iron, and sits
Low in the water. She is intended for
hrbor defense, and will justify conf
1ence IN her ability to make a good
fight against the strongest iron clad
that can be sent against her. She has
two amiable sisters, the Puritan and
Terror, who will also in good time go
into commission.

SENT TO CHILL.
The San Francisco Ordered to Proceed at
Once TO Valparaiso.

WASHINGTON, October Our
ing this afternoon Commodore Ramsey
was in consultation with Secretary
Tracy, and the result as announced la
ter in the day, was an order for the
cruiser San Francisco, then at Payta,
Perm. to proceed Immediately to Callao
and thence to Valparaiso. Ii necessary,
further instructions to govern the
course of the vessel when she arrives at
Valparaiso, will be sent to her when
she touches Callao.
Secretary Tracy declined absolutely
to give his reasons for sending the ship
back to Chilli, and refuses to discuss the
case. Acting Secretary Wharton was
besought to make a statement of the
actual facts in the present complied
ton, or at least to give to the public
some assurance that the situation is not
as critical as it is represented in some
publications.
The acting secretary, however, did
not feel at liberty to say one word upon
the subject. Still there is reason to be-
lieve that no further overt acts have
been committed by the CHILEAN junta,
and that the return of the San Francis
co to Chill is simply in pursuance of
the intention formed several days ago
to give moral effect to Minister Egans
position, by the presence of Admiral
Brown and his flagship at Valparaiso.

A Few Facts for Purchasers.

First, Hamilton's music store, 81 and 90
Fifth avenue, is the best place in the city to
get pianos, organs, and small musical goods.
Others may make tempting offers of very
small weekly payments or of being the Oldest
or largest house, etc., and yet the fact re-
mains the same, that you can get at Hamii-
toms the old reliable Knabe, Decker Bros.
and Fischer pianos and the crest Estey and
Story and Clark organs at lower prices than
com paratively unknown and untried iustru-
ments are offered to you for. When you are
offered something for nothing and five or six
years to pay for it look out instruments
that have been on the market for 80 years
with Improvements that genius and capital
can discover and command added to them
from time to time are worth what Hamilton
offers them to you for. You will not be
charged high price for long time. but low
prices will be made to you and reasonable
monthly or quarterly payments taken:
Call in at Hamilton's and see what you
can do; it will cost you nothing to call and
will save you some money and regrets.

NO RAILROAD STRIKE NOW.

Pennsy Employees Accept the Proposition
of Manager wood-A Few Minor Con-
cessions Secured-No Tie-Up Had Been
Thought OF.
The employees of the. Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg will not strike. The an
swer of the superintendents. given yester-
day morning through General Manager
Wood, was accepted by the men, and the
majority of the members OF the General
Grievance Committee left for their respective
homes last night.
In the morning Manager Woods answer,
as printed in yesterdays DISPATCH, was
considered separately by each OF the four
divisions, brakemen, conductors, fremen
and engineers, and then the matter was
given joint consideration. The General
Managers reply was satisfactory IN nearly
every particular. There were few minor
matters that were slightly at variance with
the wishes of the men and they referred to a
subcommittee consisting of the chairman of
each division.
This committee waited upon Mr.. Wood
again and after an hours consultation an
amicable settlement of the whole difficulty
WAS arrived at and employer and employees
parted In good spirits. Some slight con-
cessions in the matter of overtime were
secured from Mr. Wood, but no advance in
wages was given, nor was any promised for
the future.
One of the leading Chicago committee
men said last night: II am glad to see the
matter settled, although there never was
time when we thought it would be neces-
sary to strike. The chief points aimed at
have been secured and our men are feeling
good. The managers have promised to try
to arrange their business so as to have less
overtime and to instruct their train dis
patchers to be more considerate with their
employees in issuing orders"

Mr.. Byers Claims They Come in the Nat
uraI Order of Thirgs-Diference of
Opinion About State Supervision of
Private Banks.
AT the afternoon session among the bank
ers called was A. NJ. Byers. He is a pro-
nouuced optImist. He told the legislative
committee yesterday that panics were a
necessity, and were as natural as boils on
the human body when it became foul. Mr..
Bvers evidently looks upon panics as
the harG-shell Baptist preacher did on
rattiesnakes when asked TO pray for a
member Of the Jones family who had been
bitten by one. The minister thanked the
Lord FOR many blessings IL disguise, but
especially for rattlesnakes, as he said
nothing else would bring the Jones family
To repentance. Mr.. Byers says the furry is
about over. and that men who had s. or $50
in bank and checked it out a few weeks ago
nave since put their money back.
John W. Chalfan:. President of the Peo-
pies National Bank, was in favor of State
supervision of all State banks and trust
companies, the supervision to be conducted
on the general principle regulat-
ing national banks, and that super
visors or examiners should be appointed
by the Governor The State funds, he said,
should be deposited in sound financial in-
stiiutiOns like the national banks, or banks
incorporated by the State, but not in private
banking houses. The State, Mr.. Chaifant
believed, had no right, or should be given
none, to supervise private banks. 4 State
bank should carry a reserve the same as
national bank, the rate being 25 per rent of
its deposits, and in the savings banks from
per cent 10 10 per cent wouiu be sufficient.
q T.,
cHanIcs National Bank, favored supervision
Of all banks, including private ones, be-
cause ii would make such institutions more
careful In investments. He suggested the
adoption of a uniform system OF bookkeep-
lug and a similarity OF all bank books and
forms, thus simplifying considerably the
work Of the examiner and making clear
many intricacies involved in the present
manner. He was asked if he favored the
creation of banking department in tic

that he was; that there were a number of
private banks whose financial showing was

they had or did not have secure capital
lie vas asked if he saw anv difference be-
tween q private banker inviting the public
% become his creditor and a private mer-
chant inviting the public to be his debtor.
lie replied that the distinction was marked
by the question itself. a merchant deals
with his own money and stock; the banker
with tine money of the public. He also be-
Iieved n the appointment of an examiner
SnG IN tue publication of the reports OF
SLa:s banks the same as national banks.
