the Car the check. The Car gave

Of the Speaker Denounced.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Seeretary Blaine
was asked by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press to-day if the State Department
had learned the cause of the war excitement
fortnight since in London. he replied
that he had just received a copy of the Lon
don Times of January 9th, in which he
found dispatch from its regular American
correspondent. dated Philadelphia, Janu-
AIRY 9Th, as follows: Naval orders recently
issued indicate the gatheringof formidable
American fleet in the Pacific waters before
the Behring Sea fishing season opens.
Eleven war-ships and five revenue cutters
are now or will soon be there, having ninety
guns and 2625 men. Seven other steamers,
it is rumored, will be chartered for revenue
duty, increasing the feet to twenty-three
ships, with 118 guns and 5000 men, including
two of the fastest and most powerful of the
new cruisers, the San Francisco and the
Charleston" Blaine said that on receiving
this unfounded and mischievous telegram
he had sent to the Navy Department and
had been informed by Secretary Tracy that
there had been this winter IA smaller naval
force on the Pacific than at any time during
the last ten years. The whole number of
ships is five, the guns are forty-ope and the
number of men $50. Blaine added that he
thought the correspondent of the Times
owed an explanation to the American
people. There was no excuse whatever for
transmitting such erroneous statements to
Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-JOel Cook, the
financial editor of the Ledger and correspon-
dent of the London Times in this city, was
seen Tonight relative to his dispatch to the
Tines regarding the alleged mobilization of
the fleet of the United States war vessels in
Behring Sea. He said his dispatch was a
brief summariZatiOn of long dispatch in
the New York Times of January 9TH from
Annapolis, giving in detail the names of
vessels to be concentrated and the number
of guns and men they would carry.

Efforts of 0Brien and Dillon to Effect
Satisfactory Settlement.

PARIS, Jan. 90 Brien says, in answer
to question as to what had been the result
of the conference with Dillon: 1t is diff
cult, under the existing circumstances, to
make any statement with respect to the
conference as it is still necessary
for us to preserve silence on the
matter. Dillon and myself are in
full agreement, and have made substantial
progress toward a settlement which will be
satisfactory To the British as well as to our
own sentiment. There has not been a single
days needless delay. We shall not leave
France without exhausting every effort for
peace, and very days must now determine
the result" Dillon signified his approval of
this statement.
