feots.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 30.-The steam
boat Oliver Beirne, from ST. Louis, was
burned at Alilliken's Bend, twenty-five
miles above Vicksburg, yesterday, Nine
teen lives are known to have been lost
in the flames and more are thought to
have persisted. The boat was on her
way to New Orleans.
The boat was owned by the Planters
and Merchants Packet company, of
New Orleans. She was fully insured.
The Oliver Bierne left this city Wednes-
day, Oct. 81, with crew of 100
deck hands, and carried 115 cabin pas
sengers. She had on board valu-
able cargo Of cotton.
A Rush for Life.
The fire spread so rapidly that the es-
Gaping crew and passengers were I'M
able to save any of their goods, which
were completely destroyed, together with
the furnishings and effects of the boat.
The Beirne burned rapidly from the
time the fire was first discovered, and in
less than an hour after the alarm was
given nothing remained but the wreck.
The cotton fell from the sides of the
boat, and, still blazing, floated down the
river, much of it being picked up by
people living along the banks of the
stream.
Among those who are known to be
saved are: Captain w. II. Thorwegan;
William Mossie, Morgan Youngblood,
Engineer Ed Bird, Anthony Barbeck,
carpenter; F. Strieckers and wife, Cook
Cassiday, Charles Beard, clerk V. G..
Entricken, Mrs. D. Worrell, of Baton
Rouge; Mrs. Willie Frazer and child, of
Natchez; also large number Of deck
passengers.
Captain Thorwegan telegraphed that
twelve lives have been lost, and prob
ably many more, and a dispatch to
Chief of Police Castor, from Vicksburg,
says the lost reaches fourteen.
The boat cost over 100000. AT the
time she burned she was valued at $61,-
666, and was insured for sea, 900 in Will
lam Reilly's agency, and for sci $50 in
Marshall ]. Smiths agency. Both
agencies are in New Orleans. The crew

Chileans on the other hand, have shown
no disposition to accept any friendly
overtures. No palmer proof of this could
be needed than the refusal of the Chill
can government to agree to the PROPOSE
tion that the Itata be released upon pay

ceedings be entirely abandoned. By re-
fusing to accept these friendly PROPOSE
tions, the Chilean government has pro-
longed and intensified the irritation be-
tween the two nations.

The Alliance and the spenkership

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Congressman
Jerry Simpson, the Alliance statesman
from Kansas, states that it has formally
been decided that the Alliance members
of congress shall stand aloft from both
parties in the speakership fight and other
contests and put up candidates Of their
own. They will not enter the Democratic
caucus, Mr.. Simpson says, but will at
tempt to use their combined strength to
dictate candidates and terms to the
Democrats. Mr.. Simpson cannot state
how many Alliance members there will
be in the house. He says that about
fifty members were elected because of
their Alliance principles, but whether
there will be twenty or forty or fifty who
will act outside of both Republican and
Democratic parties, he cannot say. Liv-
ingston, of Georgia, is apt to be the Al
Lance candidate for the speakership.

JOHN BULLS METHOD.
AS the English press continues to
criticise the attitude OF this government
respecting Chile, and contrasts it with
the forbearance exhibited by England
in like cases, the following incident is
cited as illustrative OF the British method
of adjudicating similar differences with
the smaller nations: In 1887 the gov
ernor of the British colony at Trinidad
wrote the government OF Venezuela Ie-
quiring the payment Of the claims of
two British vessels which had been
seized by the Venezuelan government
for alleged violation OF the law, notifying
Venezuela that unless payment was
made in seven days measures would be
taken to collect the money. The Vene-
zuelan minister of foreign affairs called
together the diplomatic corps, appealing
to them to extend their good Offices to
prevent the Enforcement OF this claim in
such a summary manner, before it could
be properly examined and adjudicated.
The diplomatic corps declined to inter-
pose, saying the matter must be arranged
between the countries interested. Mean
while British squadron made prepara-
tions to enforce its demand, whereupon
the Venezuelan government, protesting
against the summary methods adopted
by Great Britain, paid over $4,000,
yielding, as they said, to superior
strength, and not to reason or Justice.

The Ex-President Makes a Campaign
Speech In fremont Temple.
RosToN, Oct. 31.-An immense audi
ence, that at times went wild with en-
thusiasm, filed fremont temple to-
night, the occasion being rally under
the auspices of the Young M ems Demo-
cratic club of Massachusetts,. The dis
tinguished guest of the evening, ex-
President Cleveland, received an ova-
ton. He said, in part: "Our consum-
ers are OF moderate means, and the poor
OF the land are too much neglect
ed in our national policy their ! lie Z.
is made too hard for them, and too much
favor is shown the pampered manufac-
turers and rich monopolies. A condition
up throughout the country, born OF the
prevailing inequality and nniairness,
which threatens an attack upon sound
currency and wakens the anxious solici-
tude of thoughtful and patriotic men.
Economy in public expenditures has
almost become byword, and partlzan-
ship in power executes its will by meth
DDS as unprecedented as ruthless"
Mr.. Cleveland said he believed the
Democratic party was right in its posi-
ton on all these subjects. Those who
love true Democracy looked to the peo-
pie of Massachusetts to recognize the
faithful services of their young gov.
ernor, and by his election, and that OF
the remainder of the ticket, demon
strate their steadfastness in the Demo-
cratic cause, to give to the national
Democracy, and the cause of the people
OF which it has charge, the powerful aid
OF the still awakened conscience OF
Massachusetts.

AT MARI ISLAND.
Six Wooden Vessels Now at the Docks
Almost Ready for Service.


Almost Ready for Service.
SAN FRANcIsco, Oct. 31.-The wooden
feet now at Mare Island navy yard con-
sists OF six vessels, the Mohican, Thetis,
Ranger, Adams, Omaha and Swatara.
Repairs are now in progress on the first
four, and they could GO to sea in a very
short time. The Omaha and Swatsra
are out of commission and would take
longer to prepare. The single-turreted
monitor, Comanche, with two smooth
bore guns, now at the island, could go to
sea in few days. The double turreted
ship Monadnock, the companion ship Of
the Miantonomah, has no amor as yet,
and cannot be completed under six
months. The coast defense vessel Mon
terey, now under construction at the
Union Iron works, has no armor as yet,
but could go in action without it if
necessary. Irving NJ. Scott, one of the
proprietors of the works, says she could
be ready for sea within six weeks. Her
guns are now at the Washington navy
yard, completed or nearly 30, and could
be shipped and put aboard by the ex-
piration OF that time. The Monterey
will be very powerful vessel, even
without armor, as she will have pri-
mary battery OF two twelve and two ten
inch guns.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-There is nothing
indicative of a change in the Chilean
situation this afternoon. So far as
learned there has been no further ex-

SENIOR MONTHS STATEMENT.
Senior Montt, Chilean minister at
Washington, desires to state, upon in
formation in his possession, that the re-
ports published recently of illfeeling
between the Chilean people and the
Americans domiciled among them are
sensational and absolutely without foun-
datlon in fact. He holds that the Bal
timore incident has been unduly magni-
he'd, and sees no reason to doubt that
settlement of the questions at issue
between the governments of Chile and
the United States will be reached in a
manner honorable to both sides.

ton, that this government will insist

an authoritative dispatch from WASH
ington, announcing that Blaine prom
ised Seiior Montt that the United States
legation would be put in the charge OF

ACTIVITY AT BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
The Chilean trouble shows its effect
at the Brooklyn navy yard in renewed
activity being displayed in fitting out all
the vessels now there. The number of
men engaged upon the monitor Mianto-
nomah has been increased, and from con-
versation with her officers it is learned
that she could be got ready for sea with
in ten days, ii the occasion should re-
quire it. She is classed by all the OIL
GERS as the most formidable ship in the
navy, and If necessary, she could be in
Chilean waters within two months.
A rumor got abroad yesterday that
orders had been sent from Secretary
Tracy to the BROOKLYN navy ward. to
have three ships sail as soon as possible
for Chile, but Captain Erben.. COM
mandant of the navy yard, denied that
he had received such orders.
1t is learned that three ships, the
Philadelphia, the Concord and the
Kesrsarge are being prepared to leave
on Tuesday for the West Indies. A
ship going from New York to Chile gen.
orally makes her first stop at St.
Thomas, so it is possible that there may
be some connection between the ru-
mored orders from Washington and
the departure ofthese three ships.

His Case the Hardest San Francisco Has
Had In Twenty Years.
Detective Dalton has not yet succeeded
in getting Embezzler Hyer in his GUS
tody, as was supposed by the police
officials of this city. The very day
Judge Morrow rendered his decision to
the effect that Hyer should be extradited,
Hyer's lawyer filed an appeal in the
United States District Court. Hyer's
counsel in fling his appeal asked that he
be given until tomorrow to perfect his
appeal. His petition was granted, and
Detective Dalton il probably booked for
a few weeks more. Chief Crouley OF San
Francisco telegraphed to Chief Murphy
this morning that Hyer's case is the
worst one, and has caused him more
trouble and annoyance than any that has
come before him in twenty years. The
Chief also encourages the local officials
with the intelligence that he knows of
one case where it took six months hard
work to get prisoner from Omaha.
The prospects are that Dalton will he a
nut brown tourist by the time his friends
in Jersey City are again permitted TO
gaze upon his manly form. Chief
Crouley is doing all in his power to get
Hyer out of the clutches of tne Calf
fornian Courts and into Detective Dali
toms. HYer prefers remaining where ne
is, but Chief Crouley is hopeful that he
will soon get his man.
