RUMORS OF WAR,
A Buzz of Excitement Over the Orders for
the Monitor Miantonomoh.

Buzz of Excitement Over the Orders for
the Monitor Miantonomoh.
BROOKLYN: N. Y, Oct. 30-Great ac-
tivity prevailed on the double turreted
monitor Miantonomoh at the Navy Yard
yesterday morning. Officers from the
other men-ofwar, now anchored at the
Navy Yard, paid visits to the officers of
the Miantonomoh and discussed sub
rosa wild war rumors occasioned by the
order from Washington to Commander
Erben to place the huge monitor at once
in commission. 1t excited considerable
surprise when it came so suddenly.
One of the lieutenants on duty this
morning said that in case of an emer-
gency the monitor could be ready to go
out to sea within about week, but If
the work is allowed to go on at the
present speed it will be nearly a month
before she will be fully equipped and
ready to fight. The huge warhorse has
been undergoing alterations and repairs
for the past year or two, but she shows
many traces of her eight years of idle
life at the Navy Yard. Her new officers
are subjected to many discomforts on
account of this condition.

The Impression General that the United

/ LONDON, Oct. GOETHE greatest fer
ment exists in the South Anerican trade
over the news from Chilli. The general
impression is that Chilli will fight, and
that the United States is now in posi- :
ton where it must fight or retreat with
dishonor. No PERSON OF responsibility
has yet been found who doubts that
I America will come out foremost in the
end, but the general impression is that
Chilli will have for the present decided
advantage. IT," .'l a s'nlat.' t'
The sentiment of themercantile houses
trading with Chilli is strongly against
war, and the nitrate interests are also
opposed to it on the ground that war
might result in the United States,
through an arrangement with Peru,
getting control of the nitrate deposits;
also that successful war would have
the effect of raising American prestige
in South America to the detrimsnt of
England.
The change of feeling since yesterday
is most significant Then the idea OF
war was poohpoohed. Now the South
American opinion in London is exactIy
the reverse, and war is regarded as al
most inevitable '"'' F

II Is not until we,visit Europe, land
which has been developing since Father
Adam and Mother Eve were children, that
we fully appreciate the marvellous growth
Of q country which is happily called the
United States of America. Standing as
we have upon the shores of an ancient
country, the widest flights of the imagina-
ton could hardly predict such a condition
Of things. It is only trife more than
four generations since we declared our in
dependence. It Is only about fifty years
since we erected our Great Public Build
inDs. The progress we have made seems
like dream. Unless we abuse our rare
privileges what will we be a hundred years
hence All this is owing to individual
effort. Our great mercantile houses are
the wonder and admiration of the whole
world. This spirit of enterprise is con-
tagions, and nowhere is better illustrated
than in the untiring efforts of the Water
bury Furniture company. To say that
the people have appreciated our honest
efforts is only paying them compliment
we'll deserved. This fall we are prepared
to Guido all previous efforts. We are
leaving nothing undone to show line of

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, Oct. 30.-Cham-

terday from Australia, decided tonight
to accept Paddy Slavin's challenge at
once. He wired his managers in the

money and to demand fight as soon
as possible. Sullivan does not care how
big the purse is, but he stipulates that
this will be his last fight in the ring.
He will be free from theatrical engage
ments early next summer, and unless
Slavin backs down the fight will then
take place. Sullivan is in dead earnest
and spelling for fight.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29-The steam
boat Oliver Beirne, from St. Louis, was
burned at Milliken's Bend, 25 miles

forward part of the boat, and many got
off in safety, but that avenue of escape
and others were soon cut off, and the
unfortunate passengers and crew were
forced to plunge into the water.
The crew of the boat displayed COM
mendable GOODNESS, and every effort was
made to rescue those who had not got
ashore. Chief Engineer Ed. Bird launch
ed the yawl of the boat, and he, with
other men, succeeded in picking up many
of the unfortunates in the water
Some, however, were beyond reach,
and were either burned to death or sunk
beneath the waters to rise no more. The
alarm was communicated to the people
of Miliken's Bend and the bank of the
river was soon crowded with villagers,
who assisted in the work of rescue and
hospitality, throwing open their houses
to the survivors.
Besides large number of cabin pas
sengers there were over 200 deckh md on
board The deckies were on t'l,lr way
to work on the leveee south & Vicks-

FARGO REPUBLICAN: An attempt is be-
ing made by the newspapers of the east
to throw a halo of romance around the
death of old Sitting Bull, and he is rep
resented as having met his fate with
great heroism, only succumbing at last
to fearful odds. The cold truth of the
matter is that he was a fugitive from JUS
tice, having disobeyed the laws of the
country. The police we're sent to arrest
him, as they would any criminal, whether
he.was a city tough or a reservation tough.
He resisted the officers in the discharge
ct their duty to the extent of endanger-
ing their lives, and he was promptly shot
down, as many IN ugly criminal has been
before and will be again. If there is
anything heroic in that, then the senti-
mentalists of the Fenimore Cooper type
are welcome to cherish the delusion to
their hearts content.
