Our Navy Department Anxious tn Show
What the New Cruisers CAN DO.
Our navy department 10 in q warliks
mood.
The principal naval authorities have for
some time given out the impression that
they were spelling for fght." Perhaps
II was largely with them . case OF the
wish being father to the thought. but at
all events they are talking war Jortissimo
Just now.
From the talk in the department 1t ap-
pears that intimations have been re-
ceived from good authorities In and about
Chill that the Chilians are delaying their
response to our demand for Information
concerning the Valparaiso incident for
the purpose OF gaining time In which 10
prepare for war with this country, and
that they will continue their dilatory
policy so as to make these preparations
as complete as possible.
The inference Is that IL Chill can per-
susde the United States to wait q few
weeks longer, or until the most formid-
able new war vessel OF the Chilian fieei
the Captain Prat, is completed and
equipped. she will be better prepared for
hostile demonstrations. The situation
thus outlined was discussed with eager
ness AT the navy Depdrtment recently,
and the opinion WAS freely advanced
that President Harrison would in all like
lihood take measures TO checkmate Chill
in this matter by sending a special mos
sage to Congress within the next two
weeks. reciting the fact that explanation
and reparation had been demanded OF
Chill without avail. and proclsiming the
necessity of informing Chill that this
country will resort to extreme measures,
II the desired response Is further delayed
beyond q reasonable and specified time.
The wisdom OF this course, IL Is argued.
would be apparent. because 1t would take
the Chilians short handed and would pre-
vent them from getting possession OF the
Captain Prat. This vessel is now building
in France and cannot be finished In less
than two months or moro. IL meanwhile
President Harrison and Congress should
cause q declaration OF war In the United
States against Chill, 1t would prevent
France from delivering the Captain Prat
to Chilli, and would save New York and our
other Atlantic cities from the danger OF
bombardment by that vessel. In case OF
war between the two countries the advan-
tages OF this move would be manifest.

came up for hearing il was found that
the statutes provided for punishment only
in case Of wilful and malicious destruc-

Jany wilfulness or malice in this case, as it
was shown that the boy was not very
bright for his ace. also that he was
told to drop the lighted match in the let
ter box by older bows. who furnished him
with the match. Commissioner Blodgett
decided that while there was evidence
enough on which TO hold him for the

no ground for holding him under the cir

On Christmas Evening.

Never on a holiday here were there seen
as many drunken men rs reeled staggered
and rolled around the streets on Christmas
day And there were no solo drunks, but
duets, trios and quartets of fellows arm
in arm celebrating. AS evening swooped
down and smothsred out the damp, dis
couraged daylight, there was a mist fall
ing softly.
Walking about the place, after the
lights were aglow in the houses OF the
dwellers, pictures were seen where the
shades were left undrawn at the window
homely scenes sometimes. One showed a
kitchen where the mother sat before the
fire holding a little one in its nightdress,
lovingly snuggled against her heart the
rays from the lamp fell on the white
night-clothes, throwing them into high
light. In the child's arms was clasped a
new doll, with wide OPEN staring eyes, In
hard contrast to the sleep closed lids of
the living little one the mothers face
was weary and pale her head was bent
forward, her eyes wide open. and fixed, as
if she was waiting and listening. Was it
for one of those staggering wretches out
in the mist.
In another room sat an old couple side
by side; they were silent. The old
woman's hands lie loosely clasped and her
face photographs her thoughts; they are
away back, dwelling on other Cbristmases,
doubtless peopled with figures now be
yond mortal sight The old man glances
over towards his companion, they. smile
kindly. and with loving understanding.
At the police station an old man asks
for shelter at dusk. The soft-hearted Off
cial pities him and says sociably: 1T
grows dark fast, does it not ?" 'It does
for me-" and the ewes are dim with tears
and the chm trembling pitifully.
Two men pass over the bridge under
which the dark waters offer shelter to
those whose hearts ache too hard for bear
ing. This church near by is aglow with
light the organs tones come out
to the ear, sonorous and sweet,
while voices chant "Peace on earth,
good will to men," The men are quar-
relling bitterly, their profane words
drowning the harmony of the music. Out
from the dark expanse, invisibly arching
above, there appears star: steady and
softly luminous it is poised there, as il to
express TO the sin wrecked world of men
below, that there is still guidance,
which If followed would lead TO the gra-
cious loving Saviour as surely as did the
star at Bethlehem centuries ago.

steamship belonging TO the Russian voluu-

Honortng Moltke's Memory.

BERLIN, April 25.-Emperor William ar
rived in Berlin at 5:15 O'Clock this after
noon, having interrupted his visit to the
Duke of SAKE Weimer as soon as he heard
of the death of Won Moltke. The Empress
and Chancellor Caprivi met his majesty at
the railroad station, and they drove to Won
Moltke's residence. A consultation was
held at the dead generals house in regard
to the funeral arrangements, and the sug
gestion that the body be taken on Tuesday
to the Won Moltke family estate for burial in
accordance with the wish expressed bv
the count, was approved. Religious ser
vices will be held in the hall of the general
staff department on Tuesday morning. The
coffin will then be carried, with imposing
military honors, to the railway station for
conveyance to Kreisau. The remains will
lie in state tomorrow.
Details regarding the count disclose the
fact that during the last few DAYS he
worked with his wonted regularity He
had no premonition of DEATH He had
nearly completed plan for the fortifica-
ton of Heliogoland ana had sent report
on the subject to Emperor William Tuesday
last. The work that had passed out of his
hands showed no trace of any abatement in
constructive genius and mastery of detail.
He walked to his homo after he had finished
his labors in the reichstag. He dined with
the Swedish minister and during the even
ing was very animated. Later, while play
ing his evening game of whist he was at
tackled with slight asthmatic spasm and
rose from the table and left the room. It
was supposed by others present
he would return in short time
but as he did not come back
his nephew went after him. Major Moltke
found his uncle IN sitting position gasp
ing for breath. On seeing his nephew the
count attempted to rise, and for a moment
appeared to have mastered his weakness
He got up and then fell in his nephew,s
arms, seeming to faint. In few moments
he breathed his last. A doctor was bur-
rledly summoned, but when he arrived he
declared life was extinct. The cause of
death was lesion of the heart. He was NOT
known to suffer from any pronounced car
dlac trouble. The clockwork of life had
simply run down. Friends of the dead
general permitted to see the remains TO-DAY
say the features bore the placidity of deem
sleep. The Emperor, accompanied bv the
Empress, visited the mortuary Chamber
and looked on the face of the dead Roth

rose TO their feet when the announcement
was made and remained standing.

The Autonsy Comnleted.

New YORK, April 25.-The deputy cor
oner concluded the autopsy of the remains
of the woman murdered by slack the Rip
per-" this afternoon. The only fact of i'm
portance was the disclosure that the mutt
lations were evidently made while the
woman still lived, and it is apparent that
the struggle of the poor wretch
prevented the butcher from fully
completing what he originally in
tended-the removal of certain organs.
Inspector Byrnes made a statement to re-
porters to the effect that while the police
have not yet arrested the murderer they
know who he is and hope to have him in
custody before long. The murderer is
cousin of Frenchy, or Francois, an Alger-
enc, who was arrested last night it is
known Frenchy spent Wednesday night
with the murdered woman and staid at the
hotel on the night his cousin perpetrated
the horrible crime.
