UNCLE SANS NAVY.

Chill is making haste very slowly to-
ward an apology for the treatment
American sailors received in the streets
of Valparaiso. The Chilian government
is not kindly disposed toward the United
States, especially toward this admins
~tration. The part it took in regaining
possession of the Itata and the shelter
ing Of offensive Balmacedans by Minis
ter Egan right under the nose of the
CHILEAN junta and the subsequent pro
%visional government have melted a bit
terress of feeling among the ~revengeful
natives which borders on madness. This
government has demanded rcparation
for the killing and outrageous treatment
of the Baltimore's men but thus far
Chill has been shrinking about it," with
a face upon the matter which says as
plainly as words can it. III see you in
hades before I'll apologize or make repa-
ration of any kind"
In the meantime the administration is
not altogether idle. Thanks to eX-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Whitney Uncle Sam
can muster up a pretty good lighting
navy which may be able, if necessary, to
make the ChiIians think faster and
speak quicker. There are OF the Pacific
ocean today, in addition to the war YES
sells stationed near Chill, the lriquois at
Apia. the San Francisco and Mohican at
San Francisco, the Pensacola at Homo
lulu,aud the Charleston near there. Then
there is the squadron on the coast OF
Asia which may be spared if the heathens
will stop killing missionaries awhile.
These together with the Baltimore and
the Yorktown. now on the Gillian coast
somewhere, can make it decidedly warm
for the CHILEAN gun ships if that country
remain obstinate. Should the vessels
named prove unequal to the CHILEAN
navy Uncle Sam can send the Boston
which is ready to enter the Pacific waters
and within the next few weeks she
could he followed by the Essex. the Yam
tic. the Newark. the Atlantic. the Ben
nlnSlOn, inc 'nicdgO, tHf Iiid'tcipliid
Concord and kearsage, all of which are
now on the Atlantic side.
A majority of these vessels are armed
with siX-inch guns eleven Of them hay
ing an aggregate of 81 and in addition
carrying II cight-inch guns, Il total of %
guns. which can be brought to bear upon
the CHILEAN ships. Within a year the
government will have ready for action
the heavily armored New York, Texas
and Name, the first over 5000 tons, the
Others over G.3O0; five monitors of a ton
mage of $500 to 400; owe twenty YES
sells of the old navy: the Ammon ram of
1850 tons; the dynamite cruiser Nesuvi
US: two gun boats and a torpedo cruis-
err altogether composing "a pretty power
full navy. capable of making much noise
If not doing much damage. The present
secretary of the navy is hurrying the
completion and fitting up Of those latter
named vessels and by the time they are
ready the administration will be mad
enough to turn them loose on the coast
of Chill unless that nation come down
from its lofty perch with ample apollo
gies and reparation.

SMALL-Pox and typhus fever are add
ing to the horrors of the famine in Rus
STA. Newspapers are prohibited from
mentioning either the epidemics or the
famine but correspondents in that un-
fortunate country have sent the facts to
outside journals. The outlook for Rus.
STA is indeed gloomy. Pestilence follows
fast upon the heels Of want and death
reaps a bountiful harvest.

The split in the democratic party in
Louisiana over the lottery matter gives
the republicans some hope of carrying
the state as the candidates of the party
will be supported by the lottery men.
The latter expect to get a large majority
of the colored vote of the state and with
it they will make a desperate fight
against the a~nti-lottery democratic
ticket, The better class of republicans,
however, will not lend themselves to the
lottery schemers and will be found
voting, if not working against them
The republicans will hardly carry Louis
lana even with the aid of the lottery
sharks.

THE adoption of the bicycle in the
national guards of several states leads to
the belief that it's adoption for regular
army use may, in time, follow. What a
spectacle two large opposing armies
would present, each soldier mounted up
on a bicycle and all in motion, advancing
and retreating in turn with the rapidity
of trained cavalry! Will the sight ever
be witnessed? Quien sdbe.

"A SORRY MESS or PORTAGE.

The appointment of Steve Elkins as
secretary of war is regarded by many as
the result of a compact or agreement
between Harrison and Blaine, by which
the latter withdraws from the presiden-
tial nomination. 1t is well known that
Elkins is one of Blaine's warmest per-
sonal and political friends and it is
thought the president would not have
appointed him to acabinet,position with
out an assurance that B~laineIwould not
stand in his (the Presidents way to re
nomination. There may be something
in this. II so Blaine is not ssthe blaine
of a few years ago. He may be a well
mar physically bat his mind has lost its
grip on earthly things which is a sign of
mental d~ecadence IN a politician ofaathe
Blaine school. 1t is a sorry mess of pot
tage for which Blaine has sold out.

IT is easier to lasso the stars or natter

A VORAClOUS FISH.

Mice, Sparrows and Cheese.

He Eats Everything from Other Fish to
Mice, Sparrows and Cheese.
In the water-trough in front of Sulli-
vans hotel on Chelton avenue, German
town, there is black bass that has at
tracted the attention of hundreds of
people because of his peculiarities
and the degree of intelligence
exhibited on many occasions, says the
Philadelphia Times. The fish is the
only inmate of the trough and has ac-
cupied it for two years, to the exclusion
of two hundred others which had been
put in it for propagation purposes, but
the bass killed them one by one until
the entire number had fallen victims
to his voracity. He not only killed the
fish, but ate them. He swallows flies
by the dozen, which the boys of the
neighborhood gather for him, and the
more they give him the better he appre-
ciates them. He is fed almost daily on
cheese, Holsters and choice beefsteak,
and after he receives his morning com.
plement of the latter he rises to the sur
face and splashes the water furiouslv
with his tail. This IS presumed to be
his method of returning thanks.
He also eats mice, and several times
during the past week John Leithead, of
engine 10, provided him with this quail
ity of bait, only to be swallowed with
out any ceremony. He likewise eats
birds, and hardly a day passes that he
does not dispose of at least two spar
rows and two chippies. The fact that
the feathers are upon the bodies of the
birds makes little difference to him, and
it is only when the legs have not been
removed that he refuses to touch them.
Otherwise he gulps them down with
great rapidity. Although he measures
eighteen inches in length and weighs
about five pounds he causes no trouble
to horses at the trough, and never has
been known to modest one of them, ex-
cepting Joe Ladley's gray mare, and
several times he has risen out of the
water and snapped at her while she
was drinking.

A Queer Pet.

The Biddleford (Me) journal has
found Saco lady who has very odd
pet in big garden toad which has for
three years yassed his existence in the
lady's front yard. No dog ever knew
his master or mistress better than this
toad does the lady of the house. When
she puts in appearance the toad invaria-
bly, comes out from under the step to
greet her and blinks wisely and at
tentively as she talks to him, but should
any other person or voice intrude upon
the scene, Mr.. Toad quickly retreats
to his abode under the steps. During
one of the hot days the lady went out
into the yard to water her plants and
the toad promptly appeared, wearing
an Enthusiastically oppressed aspect, 1t
seemed to the lady that he was begging
for shower bath and she gave him
one. She says that the toad actually
smiled his gratitude to her and sang
contentedly until she left him. Upon
warm days since the toad has come in
as regularly for his shower bath as the
plants have for their sprinllling

HOW THE GRIP TRAVELS.

1t Is Communicated by Personal Contact
and Is Not Carried in the Air.
DIR. Parsons-has presented to parlia-
ment the government report on the re-
cent influenza scourge. The report con-
tains mass of interesting evidence, but
does not solve the problem as to the
origin of influenza, nor does it provide
any sure prevention of the disease. On
the other hand, the report dispels the
common idea that influenza is spread
by atmospheric conditions, and proves
that it is propagated by personal con-
tact. This is shown by the fact that
isolated persons, such as those confined
in prison, lighthouse keepers, and 9TH
ers, enjoy immunity from the disease,
while the greatest mortality from it's
effects has been found in large commu-
mites In this connection it is curious
fact that the general post Office heads
the list of large communities where
the disease has been most prevalent.
The ''communities" represented by
railroad stations, ETC., come next to the
general post Office in showing them
selves spots where influenza has played
sad havoc. The period of incubation is
short, sixteen hours TO three days being
held to be sufficient to account for the
simultaneous incidence of a whole com
munity where only one or two people
originally suffered from the infection.
1t is expected that in accordance with
precedent the disease will disappear
after two successive years of epidemic.

GREELEY AND LINCoLNa
The Great Editors Interview with the
Wartime President.

Wartime President
In most characteristic address by
Horace Greeley, on Lincoln, which was
written about 1868, and now published
for the first time in the Century, the
great editor says:
81 saw him for short hour about a
fortnight after his Inauguration; and
though the tidings of Gen. Twigg's
treacherous surrender of the larger por-
ton of our little army, hitherto employed
in guarding our Mexican frontier, had
been some days at hand, / saw and
heard nothing that indicated or threat
ened belligerency on our part. On the
contrary, the president sat listening to
the endless whine of office seekers, and
doing out village post offices to impor-
tunate or lucky partisans just as though
we were sailing before land breezes on
smiling summer sea; and to my in
quiry: Mr., President do you know
that you will have to fight for the place
in which you sit?' he answered pleas
antly l will not say lightly-but in
words which intimated his disbelief
that any fighting would transpire or be
hOCbCI3 eilo AIllly DCllCNC Oil1S
logged resolution not to believe that
our country was about to be drenched
in fraternal blood is the solution of his
obstinate calmness throughout the
earlier stages of the war; and especial
ly, his patient listening to the demand
of deputation from the Young Chris
tians of Baltimore, as well as of the
mayor and other city dignitaries, that
he should stipulate while blockaded in
Washington, and in imminent danger
of expulsion, that no more northern
volunteers should cross the sacred soil
of Maryland in Fastening to his relief.
We could not comprehend this at the
north-many of us have not yet seen
through it; most certainly if he had re-
CURED committee of ten thousand to
kick the bearers of this preposterous,
impudent demand back to Baltimore,
the ranks of that committee would
have been filed in an hour from any
northern city or county containing fifty
thousand inhabitants"

FELL THREE THOUSAND FEET.
TWO AERONAUTS' EXPERIENCE
AT DETROIT, MICH.
They Drop From Their BallOons-One
Killed, the Other Dying.

Prof. Bartholomew, the Rronaut, has been
giving balloon exhibitions at Detroit, Mich,
during the 10 days Of the exposition there.
He has made no asceuts himself, but has had
some balloonists and trapeZe men 10 70 NJ
and come down with parachutes.
The ascensions have been extremely I'M
fortunate. On the 18th Of August two men
went up, and one OF them, Ed Cole, was
dizzy when he started. He. however made
the ascent and descent all right until about
rs feet from the ground. when he became so
dizzy that he let 90 the parachute and fell,
breaking his leg aud sustaining internal in-
iuries. and may not live.
But the accident TO Cole was overshadowed
by a horrible occurrence. John Hogan
brother of the Hogan who went up in q
balloon on the seashOre, drifted out TO sea
and was never seen again, some years ago
also went up from the exposition grounds,
in the presence Of 20,Oo0 people. He had a
hot air balloon 40 feet IN diameter, the same
which he used in a successful trip the pre-
vious day.
lie went up as usual, hanging TO the ira
eze by his arm. Although he kept going
higher, Prot Bartholomew noticed he did
not mount the trapeze, but seemed to hang
hclplcssly, rs If unable to use his other arm.
The balloon assembled rapidly, and only a
few standing near Prof. Bartholomew no
tlCfu hogan apparent u'ipieNsneS7'
Two and one half minutes after the start
was made, when the balloon was between
1000 aud 5000 feet from the ground, and
Hogan was a mere speck against the sky the
aeronaut let go his hold. At first every one
supposed he had started his parachute de
scent, but a second later a cry OF horror
arose when the crowd, which had been
watching him intently. saw that he was com
ing down with the rapidity Of Lightning with
out the parachute.
The descent was made In less than 30 sec
onds For a hundred feet Hogan fell feet
downward. lie then swung his arms wildly,
and then turned over and over again. lie
struck fiat on his back on sidewalk few
hundred feet from the main entrance to the
exposition grounds, less than 800 feet from
where he started.
The rapidly with which he fell probably
killed him before he struck the ground, bu
this IL uncertain. Every bone in his body
was crushed and blood spurted fully 40 feet
He struck with such force as TO break three
two-inch plaEks and split a Xxi stringcr
Every one on the grounds was Mortified
three women tainted and nearly every one
shricked. Hogan WAS - years old aud re-
ceIved Slj per day for his ascenTons.
