Claims to be Eva Raw Hamilton.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 17.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Some little ex
citement has been caused here by the ad-
vent of an exceedingly stylish woman from
New York who has claimed to be Eva Ray
Hamilton. She reached Butte last Sunday
afternoon and registered at the leading
hotel under the name of Carrie E. Austin.
Her first entrance to the dining room
created a sensation and Chicago drummer
at once fell victim to her fasclnations.
The attraction appeared to be mutual and
the two were soon such warm friends that
they started out to take in the town. This
was done in the most approved style, all the
popular resorts being visited and champagne
flowing free as water, the lady footing all
bills. 1t was during this pleasing time that
she announced to crowd of admirers that
she was the woman who had caused the
disgrace of Robert Ray Hamilton and dis
played papers which she said were orders
from the court for alimony from his estate.
It is said that she also boosted of having
been friendly with the Prince of Wales and
even exhibited a pair of diamond studded
garters which she claimed as his present.
The nights pleasure ended in the lady dis
covering that she had been robbed and re-
turning to her hotel almost in Mysteries.
Here she explained to the proprietor that
she had left New York while under the
lingering influences of a wine party, and
had only come to upon her arrival in Butte,
consequently she was not loaded down
with wealth. She would have a remittance
from friend in New York in day OF
two and she is still waiting for that re-
mittance. The lady now refuses to be seen
but her present protector declares she il
the woman she claims to be.

VERY FOOLISH TALK
Some of the Democratic Leaders
Who Are
DISSATISFIED WITH CLEVELAND
Are Talking Of Senator Teller for Democratic
Nominee in 1392-Briggs Heartily En-
dorsed-The Idaho Legislature.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-ISpecial telegram
so THE HERALD. Some of the Democratic
leaders who are dissatisfied with ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland's position on silver are
talking seriously of Senator Teller, of Col
orado, as an available Democratic presiden-
tai candidate in 1892. The fact that Teller
is staunch Republican does not seem to be
considered by these gentlemen. They
argue that Mr. Teller is better Democrat
than Mr.. Cleveland, inasmuch as he be-
lieves in the free coinage Of silver, and that
he would make good candidate for Dem
ocratic convention to nominate on free
silver platform. Some Of the southern
men say that Mr.. Teller is good enough
Democrat for them, that he has no business
in the Republican party, and they do not
see any reason why he should not get al
the Democratic votes il he would accept
the nomination. They say the principles
he enunciates and as the courage to live up
TO are Democratic.

The river was high and the wind strong,
and as the vessel approached the Chesa-
peaks & Ohio bridge those on deck were
Mortified to see the boat apparently at the
mercy Of the current. In a moment more,
with terrible crash, the steamer struck
the stone bridge and was Immediately dis
abled. James Pickett observed the accl-
dent from the Kentucky shore and getting
all the men he could manned several boats

The Water in pittsburg's Streets.

PITTsBUKG, Feb. 17.-The present unex-
pected flood bids fair to rival that of 1884.
The river has risen all day and is still
going up tonight. Allegheny City has SUI
fered most. Several streets are under
water and at least one thousand cellars are
flooded. Great apprehension is felt there,
as two natural gas explosions tonight
have endangered life and ruined property.
1t is feared others may follow, as the meters
and pipes are several feet under water and
cannot be reached The mills along the river
have shut down because of flooded fires
and thousands of men are idling about the
river banks. On the Pirtsburg side, Gel
lars and houses on low ground are being
flooded and people are beginning to move
out Any further rise will do great dam

PARIS, Feb. IA dispatch from Buenos
Ayres announces the government troops
were defeated at Coquimbo and Quillota.
The insurgent forces are rapidly increasing
in numbers aud advancing upon the capital
Of Santiago Only few towns remain
loyal. The destruction Of railways by the
insurgents hampers the movements Of
government troops. President Balmaceds
is well supported in the capital and is said
to be hopeful OF being able to repel the
rebels. 1t is feared the effect OF the rebel
lion will be disastrous to the finances and
commerce of the country. During the
battle at Tarapaca, las miles southeast OF
Ilo the mines were set on fire and after
wards flooded to extinguish the flames.
The German miners fed into the interior.
The coal depots at Coronel have been
pillaged by the insurgent sailors to obtain

Pocatello and Blackfoot parties hanging
Representative b. J. Briggs in efigy for
his action in the late senatorial contest.

citizens in this community have burned him
IN efigy and have been enraged at
his actions, all of which is entirely false,

tardly attacks on our esteemed fellow citi-
zen, B. j. Briggs.

assembled that we recognize in the acts OF
the Hon. B. j. Briggs the fact that he has
risen above partisanship to the exalted
plane Of citizen and statesman; and
"Be 1t Resolved, That in his acts he voiced
the sentiments OF his neighbors and con
stituents, and administered fitting re
Duke to a corrupt and 6isreputable clique

to debate the best means for forming a zoll-
verein He contended that imperial
federation was only to be obtained through
commercial federation. A lengthy debate
followed, participated in by Sir Lyon Play
fair, Goschen, chancellor Of the exchequer,
and others. The latter believed the in
creasing desire for closer union between
England and her colonies ought to be fos-
tered. There was no likelihood, however,
that the colonies would consent to con-

remained differential duties and he failed
to see how they could be imposed. Vincent

A GUATEMALAN PLAN
To Secure Emigrants from the
United States.
Hundred and Eighty Acres Of Rich Land
to Be Given Each Colonist-The Scheme
Smells OF Filibustering.

Especial to THE Dispatoh.l
New YORK, Feb. IA thousand men
are being engaged to go from New York to
homes and employment under the southern
sun, or to fight under the banner Of Baril-
las. For several weeks past arrangements
for the wholesale emigration of American
workmen have been quietly carried on in
this city between Senior d. Mugdan, spe-
cial financial agent of the republic of Qua
temala, on the one side, and number of
local labor leaders on the other. The nego-
tiations are still far from completed, and
on this account the greatest reticence is OBJ
served by all concerned. When seen by
reporter at the Victoria hotel to-day Senior
Mugdan said:

world, besides guaranteeing work for the

Representative labor union men with
whom the reporter talked were inclined to
avoid any discussion of the alleged scheme
and seem to be awaiting further develop
ments before making up their minds
In connection with these efforts to secure
a large body of able bodied men to go to
Guatemala, it is an interesting and signifi-
cant fact that for several months past the
agents Of the Guatemalan government have
been making large purchases in this coun-
try of fire arms of the most approved mod
ern pattern and of ammunition. Senior
Mugdan admitted this to a reporter, but
insisted this armament did not indicate any
wsrlike intentions on the part Of the Qua
temalau government. 'We simply want to
be prepared for the national defence In case
of need, he said, land to enhance the mil

between Pittsburg and Allegheny have
stopped running, owing to the fact that the

UNSOUND CURRENCY.
StanfOrd's Land Loan Scheme Ad-
versely Reported
AND VERY SEVERELY CRITICISED
The Senate Discusses the Hawaiian Cable
Matter-Party Lines Are Ignored In
the Vote Upon Ii.

WASHINGTON, Feb. T.rUnder instruc-
tions from the committee on finance, Sena-
tor Morrill,, chairman of that committee,
to-day reported adversely to Senator Stan
ford's bill, "to provide the government
with means sufficient to supply the natural
want of a sound cirulating medium" in
volving loans on land at2 per cent, inter
est. The report contends that the land
owners, for the larger part, "the only class
to be benefited" are too prudent to cover
their homesteads with mortgages, and
even young men when starting
in life, when borrowing capital do not
intend to remain twenty years in debt.
But the low rate Of interest offered to
land owners might inspire improvident
habits and extravaganza speculation in the
mass Of the people not free from such
temptations. The report says: THE bill
endorses the principle put forth moro than
! century ago by the notorious John Law.
Experience has shown that whenever such
| reckless experiments intended TO secure
cheap money have been tried they have
ended in commercial crisis, bankruptcy
and national disaster" The report com
pares the measure under discussion to Ar
gentine Republic and colonial currency
schemes, both of which, says the commit
tee, resulted in shame and disaster.
| Before the House committee on coinage
to-day, Congressman Warner, Of Ohio
chairman of the National Silver committee
made an argument for free coinage.
Congressman elect Warner. OF New

legislation.

was untrue that New England was uni
against free coinage, and asserted tina
many people in that section were In favo
of additional silver legislation.
