The Navy Department Mildly Denies that
Many Cruisers Are Going to Chill.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 13.-Officials of the
Navy Department are inclined to deprecate
any war-like Interpretation Of the news
which has escaped to the effect that fleet
of nine or ten formidable vessels would
soon be concentrated In the port OF Valpa-
raiso. 1t is nevertheless true that such
concentration of war ships on the southern
Pacific station has been arranged as will
amount to q naval demonstration OF in
srructive value to the ChIlians. The Navy
Department to-day. in guarded terms. de-
MES that Admiral Gherardi has been or
dered to Chill. but 1t is perfectly we'll
understood here that he is to receive ca
bled instructions at ST. Thomas or some
other point in the West Indies. Officials of
the State Department are evidently an
noyed that the news of the contemplated
naval demonstration has been made public.
but are discretely silent upon the subject.
The reason for the silence became appar-
ent tonight. The credentials OF Senior
Montt. a near relative of Admiral Jorge
Montt. as minister from Chill to the United
States have just reached Washington, and
arrangements have just been made
for formal reception of the
Chllian minister by the President
at the White House tomorrow. The
speeches exchanged between the President
and new minister of a foreign country
always express the mutual esteem and
affection of the governments and the hope
that tie existing friendly relation may
continue. 1t remains to lie seen in just
what phrases the Cbilian minister may ex-
press himself at this time. The tormality
of this interchange of compliments is in
creased by the fact that the speech of
Minister Montt and the reply of President
HarI ison have both been submitted, as is
the custom, to Secretary Blaine for exami-
nation. If the speeches are as conciliatory
in tone as expected it IS easy to see why
this government would not care TO an
nounce officially it's intention to concen-
trate feet at Valparaiso at this time.
An Associated Press dispatch says: An
authoritative denial is made at the Navy
Department of the published statements
that Admiral Gherardi had been ordered
to Chill, and to relieve Admiral Brown of
the command of the Pacific station. 1t is
said that Admiral GherardI is under orders
to cruise In the West Indies, where he will
be joined by the Concord; that the Atlanta
is to 60 TO Rio de Janeiro. and that no other
orders to vessels have been issued.

Denied by Admiral Brown.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-In view Of the repeat
ed statements that Admiral Brown or some OF
his ships company informed the Balmaceda
government of the landing Of the congressional
forces at Quintero last August, Secretary Tracy
seized The opportunity afforded by the presence
Of the Admiral with the San Francisco ut Aca-
pulco, Mexico. a few days ago, and addressed
the following telegram to him:
"Did you invite any Chilian officer to accom-
pany you on board the San Francisco to witness
the landing OF Chilians at Qufnterol Did you or
any of the officers of your crew on return on that
occasion to Valparaiso. communicate informa-
ton about what you saw to any person not con-
nected with your vesseli
Admiral Browns response was as follows:
"I did not invite or take any Chillans. in
vited foreign officers only. German went. No
one from the ship gave information. Full in-
formation about landing was known at Santiago
and Valparaiso before sailed at nOon."
In addition to the foregoing positive state
ments by Admiral Brown, he distinctly states in
his report TO the department, dated Aug 81,
that he was informed before they sailed from
Valparaiso that the congressional forces had
effected O landing

We should be protected

the same. We should be protected
from this evil by the men who have
the power to do it. Some time ago
we bad talk with our employers on
the subject. They realize that con-
wet labor is an injury to legitimate
industry, and they are willing to
adopt measures that will abolish the
evil. The State should protect the
men who toll for living and not al
low criminals to injure them. We are
the people who pay the taxes and the
money should not be used to our seri-
GUS injury as it is to-day.
If the conyicts must be employed
there are many ways in which their
labor could be used so as not to inter
fere with us. Our country roads are
in disgraceful condition. Convicts
could be used in constructing and re-
| paving those roads. In that way
they could serve the STATE. To bring
about change for the better labor
must be organized, Unions are or
gained to protect their members, and
they protect the interests of all hon
orable and fair minded employers, and
| often wonder that employers fail to
realize that fact"

The Duke of Hamilton does not
seem to care about the comfort or
peace of mind of anyone else. 1t ap-
pears that he possesses some legal
right to work the minerals under the
Scotch town of Motherwell, and, not
withstanding all efforts on the part of
the municipality to save their public
buildings and their homes, he has re-
fused to consent to any compromise
or to desist. He was then implored
to leave the stoops, or supports, of
coal under the ancient town hall,
which is threatened by the subsistence
OF the foundations, but he turned a
deaf ear to their entreaties, and is,
therefore, for the sake of extracting a
few additional hundred tons of coal,
calmly wrecking one of the most in
teresting memorials of bygone DAYS.

How Mountains are Made.

I Foremost in their geographic i'm
portance, and in the intricacy and
significance Of their geologic struc-
ture and origin, are the mountain
beds which consist Of folded rock
formations. The strata forming the
upper part Of the earth's crust are
bent up and down in long. nearly
straight or curving, wave-like ridges
OF troughs, and where their distur-
bance was greatest the successive
rldged folds are closely pressed
together. The waves of the rock
structure are then pushed to such
steepness that their sides become
parallel with each other and the en-
Tire fold is driven forward into an in
cilned position. The order of the
strata on the lower side of the an
pressed fold is thus inverted. the

posts there lie beneath older beds

A Baseball Dog.

| A Scotch collie dog on Lookout
Mountain, Tenn, has been taught to
play baseball with his MASTER stall
wart negro.
1t is strictly a game between pitcher
and catcher, and two balls are used
AS catcher, the dog shows not only
remarkable agility and skill, but a
study of his movements forces the
conviction that by closely observing
all the motions of the pitcher; he is
able to calculate for position, distance,
| and style of ball, and thus almost in
fallibly to catch the sphere, if it is fairly
pitched.
His activity, enthusiasm, strict at
tention to the game, and steadiness Of
nerve before noisy crowd of admir-
ers, are remarkable. The game is a
silent one. The pitcher does not
speak, and the dog utters no sound.
A slight motion of hand or head by
the pitcher indicates to the agile
catcher what style of ball is to be
pitched; and the dog quickly takes
his position and attitude accordingly.
This baseball club of two members
play two styles of the game, which
may be respectively called ''walking''
aud stationary games. In the one
the pitcher moves onward at mod.
crate walk, the catcher being long
distance in advance, and sharply alert
as the first of the two balls is pitched.
At long distance .he has time to
gauge the speed, height and line of
the ball; and it is a very high or badly
pitched ball that does not stop with
thud between his firm jaws.
He cannot throw the ball back; and
to carry it all the way would make
the game too slow to suit his active
temperament. He has learned the
speed Of the pitchers walk, and swiftly
running back certain distance,
drops tsS t0aii aid gets again atcatch-
ing distance as the pitcher sends ball
number two and stops opick up num-
Der one, which has been deposited
where it will be convenient FOR him.
In the stationary game the pitcher
stands still, and the catcher regulates
his distance by motions of the pitcher's,,
hand, which indicate the style s.

The Paasch pamphlet, arguing that
tho Gear of Russia is mailman, is
one of the strongest publications ever
issued from the press in Germany.
The writer goes into history of Rus
sian rulers from the time of Ivan the
Terrible and traces an insane faint
through the Romanoff dynasty. The
writer argues that the insanity in the
present Gar is directly inherited from
his grandfather, Nicholas, who was
driven to madness and death by defeat
in the Crimean war, and he prophesies
similar fate for the present Gar.
The pamphlet aroused the anger of the
Kaiser, it is said, because it reminded
him closely of the attacks of the
French press upon himself, and he
therefore caused the sale to be for
hidden.

1t has just come out that the Indi-
ans, who have enlisted in the army,
are drawing double pay from Uncle
Sam. Some time ago Indian Commits
sioner Morgan decided to cut off the
usual allowance of rations and cloth
ing from those Indians who had en-
listed. This arrangement was soon
found to interfere seriously with get
ting copper-colored recruits, and it
was accordingly determined to restore
the regular rations; SO that the Indian
troops now get their pay as soldiers,
and their Indian allowances as well.

With the growth of the navy there
begins to be difficulty in differing
the new ships. When one of the white
ships was recently in need of junior
watch officer half dozen ensigns
were suggested for the place, but the
navy department, on looking the
young men over, found that for
various reasons notsene of them was
available for the duty. The same
difficulty has made it necessary that
officers with their tours of sea duty
two-thirds finished should be sent to
distant stations, policy usually
avoided by the department, since it
necessitates the expense of a long
return journey by merchant steamer.
