WHEREIN WOMEN DIFFER FROM MEN

Women always show by their actions that
they enjoy going to church; men are less dem

When a woman becomes furried she feels for
a fan; when q man becomes Hurried he feels
for cigar.
Women jump at conclusions and generally hit:
men reason things out logically and generally
miss them.
Some women can't pass millinery store with
our looking In; some men can't pass a saloon
without going in.

PEACEFUL SOLUTION
Prospect Of a Settlement Of the
Chilean Affair.
The Bitter Letters to The London Times
Written by a Woman.
The Cruiser RSmeralda TO RepreSen. Chile in
the Naval Review In New York
HaTbOr in 1893.
Special TO THE MORNING CAL.

NEW YORK, Dec 2O-A Herald's Valpa-
raise dispatch says: A message was received
by the Chilean Government yesterday in
which it is stated that Secretary Blaine as
sured Minister Montt that after a COM
pete investigation of all matters he
felt confident that an amicable con-
clusiOn would be arrived at. The status
OF the refugees in the American Legation
must be determined by legal tribunals
under indictm ent by Congress.
The cruiser Esmeralda will represe MT
Chile in the great naval display in New
York Harbor in 1898.
1t now appears that the greater mum Der
of the letters which have been appearing in
the London Times displaying so bitter
tone toward the United States Government
and its representatives, were written
by woman and not by the boast
full Thompson. Their real author, 1t seems,
was Lady Jordan, wife of Deputy Jordan
at Santiago, and were forwarded to Lisbon,
whence they were sent to the Times, and
yet during all that time Thompson was
claiming that they were his effusions. A
few days ago British Minister Kennedy re-
ceived a business visit from Egan This
reaching ThOmpson's ears, he wrote let
ter TO Kennedy inQuiring what right
Egan had to visit him, and by what
right he was permitted to enter the British
Lpga ton. Minister Kennedy sent reply
to this impudent letter, asking in no meas
ured terms what right Thompson hld to
designate the British legation visitors.
Thereupon Thompson promptly apologized
for his impudence.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 20-No information
Is obtainabe at Washington tonight con-
cernlng the report of the surrounding Of
the American Legation at Santiago, Chile,
by mob on account of the refugees there
Several dispatches were received at the
State Department during the week from
Esan. but the officials decline 10 say any
thing on the subject. At the Chilean Lega-
ton nothing is known about the report.
| have heard nothing of any threat
ened violence upon Minister Egan in
Chill, and | do not believe a re-
port to that effect has been received at
the State Department" Secretary Tracy
said to-day. If a te,eeram from the Minis
ter setting forth such state of things has
been received he would have been notified
of il In all probability. He expected that
the differences between this country and
Chile would be adjusted without serious
trOuhle.

State of Kansas in the United States Senate
since 1876, has occupied prominent place
in the councils of the Republican party
few minutes later fell unconscious never to
regain knowledge Of what was going on
around him.
1t was quarter to o'clock this morning
when he uttered the above exclamation. A
little more than five hours later the broad
framed powerful looking man was stretched
out dead in his modest apartments on Four
teenth street. His physician, DR.. Philip
Wales. his clerk, G. W. Flenniken, and his
landlord, Mr.. Jennings. were with him at
the last. Ills wife and two children are in
Kansas. Death came from apopIexy, clearly
the result Of OverwOrk.
The Senator ha. been known for years AS
one Of the most energetic members of the
Senate. A year ago he began to fail. His
brain became affected, and throbbing head
aches became more and more frequent.

Quarantine Officer Lawler boarded the
big steamer at once and soon after she was
taken to Angel Island and anchored. Strict
orders were issued that no one from shore
should be allowed on board, and it was not
until the return of DR.. Lawler that it was
learned that two of the white steerage pas
sengers were suffering from smallpox in its
most viruIent form.
PREVENTED FROM SPREADING.
The disease broke out some days ago and
the patients were at once separated from
the rest OF the passengers and placed under
the care of the ships surgeon. who did
everything in his power to prevent the
dreaded disease spreading.
The steamer brought II cabin passengers,
10 European, 13 japanese and % Chinese in
the sleerage. Among the cabin passengers
are Vice Admiral NaZermoff OF the Im-
perial Russian Navy ami Chun Tai Chew,

report of the health officers and TO decide
whether or not the cabin passengers shall
be released from quarantine.

UNFORTUNATE INTERRUPTION.
A Minister Confused by His Sleepy Boy
and Faithful Dog.

A Minister Confused by His Sleepy Boy
and Faithful Dog.
Willie was asleep and Dan was lonely.
Willie is the minister's son; Dan is his dog,
explains Our Little Ones. 1t was Sunday
morning, and every one was al church but
these two friends. 1t was warm and sunny,
and they could hear the preaching, for their
house was next door to the church.
''Dan," said Willie, sit is better here than
in church, for you can hear every word"
In some way while Willie was listening
he fell asleep. Dan kissed him on the nose,
but when Willie went to sleep he went to
sleep to stay, and did not mind trifles. So
Dan sat down with the funniest look OK care
on his wise black face. and with one ear for
outside noises.
Now, the minister had for his subject
"Danel." This was the name he always
gave Dan when he was teaching him to lit
up and beg and other tricks. While the dog
sat thinking the name "Danier' fell on his
ready ear. Dan at once ran into the church
through the vestry door. he stood on his
hind legs. with his fore paws close beside
the minister, who did not see him, but the
congregation did. When the minister
shouted Daniel" again the sharp bark said.
Yes, sir" as plainly as Dan could answer.
The minister started bacK, looked around
and saw the funny picture. Then he won-
dered what he should do next; but Just then
through the vestry came Willie. His face

WAS ASPHYXIATED.
A Bartender in Doubt as to His
Suicidal Intent.

A somewhat peculiar case was Brought
into the Receiving Hospital about O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon in the person of Joseph
Blcknell, bartender for the Columbia
saloon. who was found in his room at the
st. George Hotel, on kearny street, asphyx-
lated by gas.
1t appears from the story OF his mistress,
Maggie Williams. who accompanied him to
the hospital, that she did not stay at the
room Saturday night, and on her return
yesterday morning about 1880 o'clock she
found Bicknell intoxicated.
Some words passed between them, and
ne whipped out a large pocket knife, say
Ing: well, L will kill myself" The woman,
however. managed to get the knife away
IRON him, and left the room, not returnin
until a few minutes after o'clock.
Before reaching the door she noticed the
strong odor OF gas, and, opening the door
OF the apartment. was almost overcome by
the rush of poisonous gas which enveloped
her. She ran into the room and found
Bcknell unconscious, and at once alarmed
the house.
The fellow was revived at the Receiving
Hospital, and on being questioned about
the affair said he knew nothing about the
trouble. The doctors were, therefore, un-
able to decide whether he had in a lnaudiin
way attempted to take his life or whether
the turning on of the gas was mere acci-
dent.

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
Views of Senator shoup on Probable Party
leaders in 1892.

CHICAGO, Dec. Ex-senator Shoup of
Idaho who was in the city to-day. in talk
ing about political affairs said he believes
there is perfect understanding between
Harrison and Blaine. He is inclined to
think both are to take a neutral position
and let the people decide which shall lead
in 1892. Idaho, said Shoup. is for Blaine
first, last and always, and will send six del
egates u the convention pledged To his sup
port. When asked who he thought would
be the Demo ratio nominee Shoup said: 1T
will not be Hill or Cleveland, and, in my
judgment, it will be none other than Senator
John NJ. Palmer. Interviews with leading
men of the party have brought Inc to this
conclusion. Some seem to think Gorman
might get the nomination. The bitter fight
between the Hill and Cleveland factions
must result in compromise candidate to get
the New York factions in line. The Demo
Gratis are going TO make tremendous effort
to capture the West and Northwest. Palmer
is the most available man and lie was never

campaign he made last fall in the interest OF
his party seemed a convincing proof that his
robust constitution was in the best condi-
ton. He stumped the State from one end
to the other. being obliged to undergo all
the fatgues of country campaign. His
work was generally credited with having
been the prime cause of the Republican vic
tory. 1t is not exaggeration to say that Plumb
was one of the most popular men in Kansas.
He was the ideal of his own party, and was
regarded by his political opponents with re-
spect.
A Kansas law provides that In the event
OF the death of Senator the vacancy shall
be filled by the Governors appointment un-
Ill the next meeting of the Legislature.
The next Legislature does not meet until
year from now. Governor Humphrey was
seen by reporter oil theAssociatedPres this
afternoon. He had already been notified of
the Senator's death by private dispatch.
He was greatly shocked at the news so
much so that he had given no thought to the
Senator's successor. The name of ex-Sen-
ator ingalls, is already prominently men,
toned by politicians. In fact, no other
name has received any mention at all.

Prospects of the Admission of Arizona and

prospects OF the Admission OF Arizona and
Oklahoma to the Union.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Hon. Marcus
Smith, delegate TO Congress from Arizona.
is authority for the statement that the
Territory will, at this session, make a
strong effort to gain admission to the Union
as a State. He believes that Arizona is
fully entitled to Statehood and thai she will
secure it this winter. A report was printed
recently to the effect that meeting of lead
ing Republican and Democratic Senators
and Representatives had been held and it
had been decided to ask for the admission
of Arizona and Oklahoma this session and
ignore the claims OF New Mexico and Utah.
No one knows of any such meeting having
been held, but there has been tacit under
standing among leaders on both sides til at
Arizona would be admitted, and that this
would be Offset by the admission of Okla
hOma, which is at present Republican in
politics by a clear majority. 1t Is stated
that President Harrison approves of the
plan to admit Arizona and Oklahoma. He
thinks that Utah has not been long enough
free from polygamous practices of her Nor
mon population to enIitle her to Statehood
at this time.

AMUCK WITH A KNIFE.
Murderous Onslaught by an Infuriat,
nruuEor1

A Murderous Onslaught by an Infuriated
Drunkard.
Peter Hollaring ran amuck in South San
Francisco early yesterday morning while
intoxicated, and ended by plunging a knife
in the digestive organs of John Neubling.
Hollaring was very noisy in saloon cor
ner Of Napa and Kentucky streets. for
which he was put out. His fury then knew
no bounds. He jumped upon Neubling,
who happened to be standing at the lower
door of the hallway that leads to his resi-
dence above the saloon, and with one blow
plunged his pocket-knife into his stomach.
Neublng was taken upstairs and cared for,
and last night was i'll a fair way of re-
covery.
Hollaring was arrested by Sergeant Ben
nett and Policemen Riordan and O'Neill
and charged with assault to murder
