Mr.. Blaine Expects to Yet Sc

From Hayti.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-A week ago
Secretary Tracy, after summing up the
number of American war vessels in
Chinese waters, remarked: ''If. how
ever, American missions and American
citizens iii China are to rely upon gun
boats for their protection, rather than
upon the Chinese government. our feet
III those waters must be very largely in
creased"
Since that utterance events have so
shaped themselves as to indicate the
wisdom of preparing to meet the emer
gency foreseen by Secretary Tracy.
While there is at present no formal alli
ance, yet the government of the United
States has reached an understanding
with the governments of Great Britain,
France and Germany, by the terms of
which, in tie event of the failure
of the Chinese government Ito af-
ford adequate guarantees for the
protection of the lives, property and in
terests of the citIzeas of the four ma
tionS, that duty is to be undertaken by
the governments of the United States,
Great Britain, Germany and France.
acting jointly.
In Case of Riot
or other disturbance, the vessels of
either of the four nations will afford
refuge to the citizens of any of the
other nations and will undertake to pro-
tect their consuIates and other in
terests. 1t is not known whether
or not a combined naval demonstration
will be necessary to arouse the Chinese
government to realization of the
justice of the demands of Europe and
America, that the property rights and
lives of their citizens be respected, and
it may be that the naval forces will con-
fine their operations to system OF
watchful maneuverS that shall have in
view the presence of one or more YES
sells at every port where an anti-foreign
outbreak is threatened.
But this will necessitate an addition
to our own fleet, and if the Ranger can
be repaired in season she will be sent
from San Francisco to join Admiral
Belknap's squadron. Such other addi-
tionS will be made as can be spared from
States vessels, although mostly anti
quated and of little service in
an engagement with such modern naval
vessels as are included in the English,
French, German, and even Chinese
fleets, would be equally as valuable
(and from their light draft, perhaps,
more SOY as the more modern vessels in
iQuelling a riot and operating in shallow
rivers.

SENT TO JAIL.
Justices Mill Grinds Out a Grim
inal Grist.


In the criminal branch of the district
court yeaterday Hans Olson was found
guilty of petty larceny and given a
sixty-day jail sentence. Daniel DahlIn,
whom Oleson robbed, told the story of
the crime, which reads like page from
a work of fiction. He stated that on the
night OF Aug. "A Oleson enticed him
down on the East side flats to call ON his
sister. Not finding her home Dahlin got
scared and started home on the double
quick, but OleSon chased him down by
the river, near the railroad bridge. where
there were no houses, and demanded
his money. He refused to give it up,
when OleSon took it. Dahiin followed
him ND town, and when Oleson entered
a house a policeman was hunted up,
who found the money, as described. on
OleSon when searched. Charles Will
Jams, the eighteen-year-old youth
charged with entering Lawrence q
Smiths gun store on June %. changed
his plea from not guilty to guilty. The
court, after pointing out to him the
error of his way, ordered him commit
ted to the reform school. William
O'Hearn, the other lad implicated i'll
the same burglary, was ordered re-
turned to the reform school. He had
been committed to the reformatory pre-
viously, but had been allowed out on

AHorse ON Rinker.

Yesterday Mayor Winston returned
to Clerk Haney, with his veto, two ordi-

ordinances in question are one chang
ing the grade of a portion of Main street
northeast, and another altering the
grades of Seventh street and Third ave-
nue. north. along the block selected as
the site for the new central market. a
former ordinance requires that when
change of grade is contemplated, the
city engineer shall notify the owners of
abutting property that they may if they
so desire appear and make objections.
Now it appears that in the cases above
named Mr.. Rinker omitted to give the
required notice, and the notices are.

Out of the forty-one, thirty -four had

TENNESSEE MORTGAGES.
The. Census Bureau Puts Forth
Some Figures.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-The super
intendent of the census has MADE the
following analysis of the results of the
mortgage investigation in Tennessee.
These are based ON a total debt in
force amounting to $40. 1896. Twelve
per cent of the state outside of villages
and cities, is mortgaged for so per cent
of its true value. SiXty-Seven per cent
of the debt of the state is in counties
containing Chattanooga. Knoxville,
Nashville and Memphis. Fifty-nine per
cent of the debt of the state is on vii
lage and city lots, and SS per cent of
this lot debt is in the four cities above
named. Probably no other state in the
South, and few states III the North, will
show larger debt OH village and city
lots than on acre tracts. The debt in
force is as follows: Davidson county,
Sc, ,63S. .261; in Hamilton county. s9,S19,-
564; in Knox county. S4,050.359; in
Shelby county, S6,649,593.

BLAINE HAS A SCHEME.
Mole St. Nicholas May Yet Be Sc
cured.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.--lt can be
stated on excellent authority that Sec
retary Blaine expects within the next
year to acquire st. Nicholas Mole,
Hayti, as naval station. All the ad-
vices from that land of revolutions show
that Hipolyte's government is beset
with many dangers, and will soon be
forced to- fight for its life. When this
fight comes off it is understood that Mr..
Blaine expects to make terms with one
side or the other, by which, for the sup
port of the United States, the coveted
harbor will be ceded. This is practically
what was done at the time of the
last revolution, but HypOlite went back
on his promise. There is reason 10 be-
lieye that the next agreement will not
be broken so easily, for Admiral Cher
ardi and the North Atlantic squadron
will be sent to Haytian waters as soon
as the trouble begins, and if the coal
ing station is ceded it will be occupied
at once.

THE WAR OF THE FUTURE.

Humane principles that dictate such
reservations may rise little higher and
insist that useless and wanton killing of

The fighting shall not be tolerated.
Wars will be determined by the COM
.pletenesS and strength of the material
and equipment. Boards of inspection
representing the international system
will observe the tests and erect COM
petitive standards. Those that have

the proportions of the opposing power
may be reversed. The result of a war
could be computed in advance by the
army arithmeticians. The only uncer-
tain factors would be the discipline and
generalShip. Allowing for these, the
armies might be straw men, and the
other targets have no blood in them.
The men who do the fighting and are
killed have no interest in the matter,
