Situation.

Views of Two Eminent Men on the
Situation.
BERLIN, May 22.-In an interview with
the Associated Press correspondent to-
day, Baron BIeichroder, the well-known
banker, said his talk of last week had
been cabled back to the Old World and
had created much comment in Europe.
Some of the statements were misunder-
stood. He spoke rather generally about
the financial condition of the South
American republics, when, in fact, only
the Argentine Republic, Chile and Peru
were in his mind. The financial situa-
ton in Brazil, he thought, is sound. The
general outlook in Europe to-day is bet
ter than at the time of his conversation
last week. The settlement of the Anglo
Portuguese dispute cannot but have a
tranquilizing effect on European markets
and politics. Baron Bleichroder did not
think the expulsion of eX-Queen Natalie
would lead to further trouble. In con-
clusion, he said the importation of gold
into Russia has now ceased, as she has all
she requires. All American gold sent to
Europe will be returned by November to
buy crops, as the crops of England and
France are bad and they will need much
OF American grain.
Herr Barth, a high authority upon ma
tlonal economy, was. also, interviewed
by an Associated Press representative
upon the same questions, to see whether
these two great financial authorities
agreed. 1t was apparent that Barth is
not as sanguine as Bleichroder in regard
to the future. He said while the United
States can look forward to prosperous
and profitable year, the outlook in Eu-
rope is anything but hopeful. Portugal
is on the verge of bankruptcy and the
settlement of the English difficulty won't
help her. She may fail any day, shaking
all the stock exchanges of Europe in SO
doing. Herr Barth added that he is not
satisfied with the explanation of fnan-
ciers and politicians for the accumulation
of gold being made by Russia. The re-
payments of loans, ETC., will absorb only
a small part of the FAC, 900, 900 in gold
lately imported into Russia. Beside,
these forty millions are not all she has
been boarding. Russia's object in getting
together this large amount of gold is not
clear, but nation demanding large
amount of ready treasure is always
dangerous. In conclusion, Herr Barth
said bad crops in Europe will, of course,
be gain to the United States. Event
ually, of course, the prosperity of the
United States may have stimulating
effect upon European commerce, but
everything at present looks bad.

NEW ORLEANS, May 22.-The Supreme

MARYsvILLE, May p. - The Colusa
election cases were continued in the Su-
perior Court to-day. The most important
testimony introduced to-day was that of
an expert in handwriting, who testified
that in his opinion the last fifty-five
names on the poll list were written hur-
-icdly and consecutively, and without de-
2ay. This indicates that they were fraud

prosecution viii close their case to-mor-

ofthe horticultural Department.
CHICAGO, May 22.-President Baker
and the directors appointed to investi-
gate the charges made against Maxwell,
who is nominated for the Horticultural
Department, held a meeting to-day to ex-
anime the papers in the case. AS re-
suit of that conference it is probable that
the Californian viii be formally rejected
by the board. The protests registered
against Maxwell were of the most vigor-
Gus kind.
Said one of the directors: SIT is claim
ed he was thoroughly incompetent to
take charge of the work. His friends
filed a counter charge that the opposition
to Maxwell was prompted solely upon
sectional grounds. That is not so, for the
protests filed are from nearly every part
of the country, including California,
Maxwelfs own State. His friends are
coming on to make fight for him, but /
don't think they can do him any good"

THE ITATA PIRATE.
CHICAGO, May pa Washington
special says: II don't think there is the
least doubt about the authority of the
United States Government to pursue the
ltata and capture and bring her in. for
she is now pirate, vulture on the high
seas, sailing without flag" said Cabi-
net officer, who represents the position
occupied by Secretary Tracy. Touch
ing the right to seize the Itata on the high
seas, recent decision in the District
Court for the Southern District of New
York, in the case of the Ambrose Light,
is most instructive. The Ambrose Light
was brigantine, and sailed under com
mission and orders of the insurgents
against the established Government of the
United States of Colombia. She was
seized on the high seas and brought into
New York by the United States gunboat
Alliance, where she was libeled for for
telture as pirate. The question was
"AiS1iiSA SAiio NOSSSIt odlllIlS us the repre-
sentative of Power having no national
recognition, was, or was not, pirate.
Judge Brown held distinctly that the YES
sci so sailing is a pirate; that the right to
make war upon the ocean is the right of
soverelgns only, and that until the insur-
rectlon or rebellion receives recognition
from other nations of standing as bel
hgerent Power, its ships upon the ocean
are pirates pure and simple, and this po-
sltlon he shows in a most learned and
elaborate opinion to be impregnable alike
on principle and authority"
THE CHILEAN DELEGATES
PARIS, May % Whitelaw Reid.
United States Minister, in an interview
to-day was asked if it were true that at
the request of the Chilean delegates he
had communicated with the United
States Government, asking that the or
ders sent TO the Charleston be counter
manded and whether the United States
Government acceded to the request, Reid
said: Il have had no negotiations with the
agents OF the Congressional party. They
called upon me, l listened to what they
had to say, but / refused to hold any
official communication with my Govern
ment in regard to their request"
The Steele to-day reaffirms the truth of
the reported Itata agreement, and SAYS
that the Chilean steamer will be taken
into United States port and an embargo
be placed upon her.

Officers Must Report the Amount of
Coal Consumed.
WASHINGTON, May o. Secretary
Tracy to-day issued an order to all naval
officers in regard to the consumption of
coal. The orders directs all the COM
handing vessels to make experiments in
order to ascertain the most economical
rate of speed for their ships. They are
directed to report the consumption of
coal per hour at varying rates of speed
from five to eleven knots, the kind and
quality of coal used, the condition of tho
vessels bottom,and such remarks in refer
ence to the most economical rate of steam
as experience may suggest. Vessels with
sail-power are directed when they have
sufficient wind to carry them four knots
to use sail alone.
In conclusion, the order states that it
is expected that vessels cruising under
steam will not exceed their most econ
omical rate, except in an emergency
when the nature of the service requires
high speed, and in such cases a report
must be made to the department explain
ing the necessity for the increased speed.
