AFTER. THE CONVENTION.


st. Panrs Committee of HustIers Reach
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-A committee
or gentlemen from st. Paul and Mime
apolis has arrived in Washington bent
on capturing the Democratic national
convention for that city. Hon. NJ.
Doran heads the delegation and with
him are Mayor Smith, of st. Paul;
Mayor Winston, of Minneapolis; Judge
Charles E. Flandreau, Editor Baker, of
the st. Paul Globe, and NJ McGuinness,
OF Duluth. They are early on the ground
to take the initiative steps for securing
the convention. They will present to
the members of the executive committee
OF the Democratic national committee
which meets here ON Tuesday of this
week arguments in favor of st. Paul,
and endeavor to lay the foundation for
securing the convention prize when the
national committee meets here, probably
early next month.

Governor Francis Denies He Has Com
yened the Legislature.
ST. EpUfs, Dec. S.--A special from
Washington says: IF an extra session
of the legislature has been called Lieu
tenant Governor Claycomb has called
it," Governor Francis said when he saw
dispatch saying such decision had
been reached. II have not reached any
conclusion" he added, more seriously.
The governor sent messages to all mem
bers of the Missouri delegation request
ing them to meet. The response was
general. For two hours or more the
members discussed whether an extra
session should be called. What the gov
ernor desired especially to know was
whether there was any danger that
Missouri would lose an electoral vote
and representative by failure to re-
district. One precedent was found in
the case of Indiana where an elector at
large was chosen to cover an increase in
apportionment and the extra vote was
counted. The sentiment in the delega-
tion seemed to be pretty nearly unani-
nous that Missouri would not lose the
increase in failure to redistrict. but
the governor, after the conference, said
the question was still open in his mind.

Pacific Mail steamer Lost.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. s.--News has
been received of the wreck of the Pa
cific Mail new ship Nicaragua which
struck on sunken reef off Acjuta, San
Salvador. She was built last June by
the Cramps for the Central American
service of the Pacific Mail and cost
$500, 900. As the company insures all
its own property, this means dead loss
OF that amount. The reef on which the
struck extends nine miles out to sea,
and as the night was clear the captain
evidently mistook his bearings.

A DECISIVE POLICY.

What the President Is Expected to DO in
the ChiIian Matter.
NEW YORK, Dec. S.--A special to The
Recorder from Washington says the
policy of the administration in regard
to the Chilian question is something of
puzzle to most persons in Washington,
but all agree that some move will be
made this week and that by Saturday
night decisive foreign policy will be
put forward in place of the wavering
one that has caused no little comment
during the past few weeks. The presi-
dent and Secretary Blaine, it seems,
were in favor of making q demand on
Chill in regard to the Baltimore affair
savoring of an ultimatuIn, but Secre,
tary Tracy asked for delay until he
could get an efficient squadron in mo-
ton, and Postmaster General Wana-
maker was in favor Of arbitrating the
Matter. Mr.. Wanamaker, It is said,
threatened to resign If a display of force
was resorted to. 1t was finally decided
that it would be unwise TO have q split
in the cabinet over the matter and it
was agreed that the question should re-
main in allegiance until congress should
convene, and in the meantime all prepar-
atoms should be made for any einer-
gency. The rule has been strictly
adhered to-
Extensive Naval Preparations
have been going on and the result is that
two powerful fleets now have their bows
turned toward the south. Now that
everything is ready it is expected that
President Harrison will show his hand
and insist that his aggressive policy be
carried out. 1t is believed that the facts
as related above will be stated in the
presidents message, but what will fol-
low after this is matter of conjecture.
Some believe that Mr.. Harrison viii ask
for large appropriation in order that
the country may be put on a war foot
ing; that simultaneously with this re-
quest he will make the demand on Chilli
and will consider that the text of his
message; and that the two powerful
fleets that have their bows turned to-
ward Chill will be sufficient display of
force to convince that country that the
demand must have
Respectful and Immediate Attention.
Others think that congress will be asked
to vote upon the question whether an
nltimatum shall be sent to the southern
republic or not. 1t is believed that be-
fore the president and Secretary Blaine
eat their Christmas dinner Chill will
either apologize for her insults and make
reparation for the crimes OF her coun :
trymen or win be taught that In time
of peace Uncle Sam has prepared for
war. The text of the report Of the sec
retary Of the navy has very signifi-
cant bearing on the matter. One SEN
tence shows that Secretary Tracy ente--
tains the same view as does President
Harrison:
There are outrages that cannot go
unredressed; there are injuries to which
no nation can afford to submit"

The Annual Report of Secretary
Tracy Given TO the
Public.
A Large Portion Given to the Work
Done ON the New Battle
Ships.
President Harrison Expected to Issue
an Ultimatum Regarding the
Chilian Affair.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Secretary of
Navy Tracy has completed his annual
report, which is one of the most inter-
ssting of recent years. A large portion
of the paper is, of course, taken up with
statement of the work done on the new
vessels completed or in process Of con-
struction. During 1861 four vessels,
the Newark, Concord, Bennington and
Miantonomah, were completed and
placed in commission. The double tur-
reted monitor Miantonomah viii shortly
start upon her first cruise. The other
vessels of this class, the Terror, AM
phitrite and Monadnock Of $3.50 tons,
and the Puritan Of 5000 tons displace-
ment viii be ready to receive their
arnlor as soon as it can be delivered, and
their completion may he expected by the
spring of 1893. The ten-inch guns Of
the Terror are completed and will be
installed whenever the vessel is pre-
pared to receive them. The coast de-
fense vessel Monterey was successfully
launched April %, 1891, and is now
ready to receive her arrnor.
Work ON Other vesseIs.
Work ON the hull Of the Texas has
been especially satisfactory. The delays
occurring the previous year on account
of want of material have been entirely
overcome, and the ship win be ready
for launching next spring. The
armored cruiser New York was launched
successfully on the second inst. and her
date of trial may fixed about January,
1893. The work upon the battleships
Indiana, Massachusetts and Oregon is
going on rapidly, the two former having
their frames erected up to the armor
belt. According to present possibilities
they will be ready for service early in
1894.
The progress of work upon the un-
armored vessels of the navy is equally
satisfactory. The Detroit, formerly
known as cruiser No. 10, was launched
at the Columbian Iron works, Balti-
more, on Oct. % and cruiser No. was
launched Saturday. Cruiser No. IL
building at the works of Harrison
Loring, is nearly ready for launching.
Work upon the Raleigh at the Norfolk
navy yard is being pushed rapidly for
ward. She viii be ready for launching
next moth. The Cincinnati, which is q
sister ship to the Raleigh, win be ready
for launching at the New York navy
yard by next spring. Cruiser No. 12
contracted for by William Cramp &,
Sons, OF Philadelphia, is the most i'm
portant of the unarmored cruisers now

SUNK by the Olympian.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. S.--The fine
passenger steamer Olympian ran into
the steamer Vergil Price, tied up at her
wharf and cut the Price in two, sinking
her instantly. The Olympian was
turning round and a strong wind threw
her bow into the Price. The mate was
aboard ut the time and went down to
the bottom with the steamer, but came

wharf and was rescued. Loss about

the autumn of 1893. Gunboats Nos. 8
and 6, building at the Bath Iron works,
are more than half completed and will
be ready for service by next summer.
The old wooden ships of the navy have
now practically passed out of existence.
They no longer count even as a nominal
factor in naval defense.

FRENCH MINE DISASTER.

An Explosion of Fire Damp Causes ia
Fearful Loss of Life.
PARIS, Dec. 8.-A fearful disaster is
reported from the st. Etienne coal field
in the southwest of France. While
eighty miners were engaged in the pit
an explosion of fire damp caused the
death of at least sixty. The first notice
that people outside the pit had Of the
disaster was rumbling sound, followed
by smoke and flame rushing from the
mouth of the pit. As soon as possible
men descended to the rescue, while
hundreds of women and children pres
ent around the opening shrieked and
Walled In Agony
for the fathers and brothers below. The
rescuers reported to have found all dead
but about twenty who had been
working where the explosion did not
have its full effect. The scene as the
bodies were brought up was terrible.
Women fell ON the bodies of their rela.
tives and could not be torn away, and
loud imprecations were uttered against
the officials whose negligence was held
responsible for the calamity. The au-
thorities are preparing to hold rigid in
vestigation as it is claimed that the
mine had been inspected to within few
hours of the explosion and declared safe
to work in.
What Caused the Explosion.
PARIS, Dec. S.-The explosion which
took place in the Pompe mines and by
which seventy-five miners perished was
caused by the operation of the ventilat-
ing apparatus being stopped.

and pnrochial school attendance reaches
tho large figure Of 80, 772 oyer IA per
cent. Of the whole.
The statistics We quote are interesting
as showing the different phases Of the
great educational problem in different
parts OF the country. The figures for
Louisiana show that at least in rep
r%esentatiye southern state, there ID a
creditable percentage OF children in
school attendance, and that they arc
largely dependent upon public school
facilities for the education they are OBJ
tanning. Wisconsin statistics prove that
the parochini school question is at the
front in that state and forms the main
subject OF educational interest. New
Hampshire's energies are evidently re-
quired for tho maintenance OF the
attendance OF pupils. and the utility OF
long established schools.
