Special DhpGtch 10 thc InttiliCncer:
I WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 14.-Therc Is
n standstill in Chilean affairs that
forebodes somo important move on the
part'o the President. All tho corro-
spondencc is in his hands, and he is re-
quiring from tho legal authorities in the
department OF justice some opinions
concerning the effect OF tho testimony
taken at Vallejo since the return OF the
Baltimore. The most important fact
that has como to light is that the Presi.
dent has personally sounded some OF the
leading Democrats as to what would be
the attitude OF the house in case the
situation became SO serious that the na-
tional honor will have to be upheld by
force Of arms. Chairman Blount, Of
the house foreign affairs committee,
has been consulted, and he gave the
President the assurance that there
would be no hesitation on tho part OF
the house to vote all that may be neccs-
sary to sustain the honor OF tho flag.
While intent on rctrcnchment OF
governmental expenses, there is no
member on either side OF the house
who will hesitate to appropriate all
that may be required to secure salts
faction from Chile. No political capi-
tai could be made out OF such expendi-
lures, as they would be extraordinary
in their character.
a WAR MESSAGE EXPECTED SOON.
The President has not indicated the
date upon which he will send his mes
sage to Congress. 1t may be expected
very shortly, and in this connection
there is resumption OF the unwonted
activity in getting the navy into good
shape. The Washington navy yard
ordinarily has been in operation eight
hours each day. Recently the gun
foundry and projectile shop were put
on twelve hour turns. Within the
present week arrangements have been
made to operate the yard on three eight
hour turns per day, which means un-
interrupted work for twenty-four hours
in every working day. There is a great
shortage in shells for the new eight, ten
and twclve-inch guns. The plant for
their manufacture has never been large,
as all that were kept on hand was q
sufficient number for experimental pur-
poses when gun tests were being con-
Quoted. So short is the present supply
that the government was obliged to buy
projectiles abroad with which to make
the recent armor plate tests ut Indian
Head. If our improved navy is to be
effective, each one OF the ships will havc
to have a tremendous amount Of these
projecties on hand, and it is to equip
them in this respect that the projectile
shop is now in constant operation day
and night.

FRANCES FORTS
Defenses of the RepuDEc Against
Her Enemies.
The Line OF Great Fortressea and Ina
trenched Camps, the Eastern
Frontier - Enormous Arm
aments.

A feature OF Frances preparation for
the next war with Germany that has
not attracted much attention thus far is
the line of forts and intrenched camps
guarding her eastern frontier, SAYS a
writer in the Illustrated American If
little has been said about these fortifi-
cations, it is only because little is
known. The government has endeav-
ored to preserve secrecy in regard to
them even more strenuously than it
has denied information about melin.te
and the Lebel rifle. In the modern
system of fortifcation much stress is
laid upon the Importance OF keeping
the enemy in the dark.
No longer frowning parapets an
nounce to him the quarter whence he
may expect resistance. The present
aim is to lure him into q trap and then
NOW down his regiments by hail-lilze
fire from hidden guns. For this purpose
rapid-fre guns will be largely used.
The Maxim gun can deliver about seven
hundred bullets per minute. It can be di-
rected by one man, who will show only
his head above his screen and will be
tended by one other man completely
covered. Smokeless powder being
used, a regiment would be decimated
and panic-stricken in a moment by such
a fire and would be in full rout before
the location of the gun could be discov-
cred. To carry out such defense sue
cessfully it is important, of course, to
preserve the most complete secrecy
about the plans of the Notifications.
Therefore only general facts are known
about the line of forts on the eastern
frontier of France.
The Notifications consist of great in
trenched camps and huge fortresses.
The largest forts - Erouard, Point St.
Vincent, Lucey, Wiley lie Sec, d'Arches,
Remiremont and Giromaguy - have
added to their otherwise enormous
ornaments armored towers with the
heaviest cannon. Every frontier fort
or intrenched camp is within gun-shot
of the next one, is connected with the
others by telegraph and is linked to the
other members of the chain by a
double-track railway. The only break
in the railway connection is between
Fort Gironaguy and Fort de Servance.
Batteries occupy between the forts all
the positions commanding approaches.
The guns of the forts vary in number
for each between twenty and fifty.
Some, however. have as many as
eighty. In several forts there is
room for two thousand head of cattle,
and in all for enormous quantities OF
provisions. The quarters of the men
and officers are airy and ample. The
cannons command completely the
slopes, which are, moreover, so woven
over with wires and so mined with tor
| pedoes that the stand of an enemy
there and the undermining of the walls
are impossible.

Renewing Youth.

A Central American newspaper tells
of man living in Sau Paulo, Brazil
who is considerably over a hundred
years old and who is growing young
again. He has recently grown new
set of teeth, and his hair, which had
turned gray, is now almost black again.
He is in active business as a horse
trader, and occasionally he rides over
ten leagues in day. He has been
married three times, is now a widower,

laa1m FS0uc, anu, forgetting ner resolve OF
cold quiescence, ran eagerly after him to
the hall door: but he was already far
down the street, hurrying on with
quick, nervous stride, already beyond
reach of her voice if she called.
But there was a rare light of happi-
ness on her face as she came back, sit
ting down in the chair where he had
been, softly caressing with her cheek the
cushion against which his head had
rested. After all, he still loved her in
his large. passionless, unselfish way, that
would think no evil even though his own
eyes had seen her in the arms of another,
guilty kisses showered upon her face.
Even after that. if an angel came to tell
him evil of her he would not believe
eagerly repeating his words And she,
her face grew graver as she reverted
to her own feelings, conscious that all
his magnanimity had been powerless to
kill that pain of jealous distrust. Full
of longing to meet his tender confidence
with trust no less perfect than his own,
it seemed still impossible that her heart
should soar beyond her understanding
Convicted of evil in her mind, she could
not, through blind love, force herself to
believe him guiltless; but she could be
even more generous than hcs-the glory
of transcendent love lighting her wet
eyes-for with even doubt Of his truth
still shadowing her heart she could take
him back to her love, overlooking. con-
doning everything.
She could not wait through all the
slow dragging hours of the afternoon for
the happiness she felt SO near her lips;
she would follow him to the ofice-hur-
rying to make fresh toilet, 1t was a
chill day for the embroidered white lawn,
but Donald liked that best, and 80 it
must go on, smiling little at the small
vanity while, with the fnical care of q
school girl, she fingered over the tying
of the soft silk sash and the arrangement
of the great bunch of yellow chrysan-
themums she pinned at her belt.
She fancied herself stealing unan-
nounced into his private Office, as she
had often done before, of quietly going
up behind him as he sat at his desk, sur
prising him with the light touch Of her
hand upon his shoulder. She could see
his swift flush of surprise and pleasure
as he read her errand in her eyes before
she spoke, his JOY and thankfulness in
effable to see the end of this time of
wretchedness-their first real quarrel
and, please heaven, their last

CHINESE MAFIAS.
An Organization of Assassins That the
Law Lis Powerless to Suppress.

An Organization OF ASsasStnS Tina It the
Law Is Powerless to Suppress.
There is quite striking analogy be-
tween the Italian Malta, as it is COM
monty understood, and the Chinese
Tong, or organization of cutthroats,
murderers and highbinders in this city,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
chief point of difference is that the sub
divisions of the Malta are not at con-
slant war with each other. while the
longs have deadly feuds continually on
foot, and generally select their victims
from among their rivals.
The question of these organizations
of assassins in the heart of a civilized
community like ours has grown to be a
serious one. We know, in q general
way that each Tong is bound together
by oaths which it's members dare not
break; that its purpose is crime of the
deepest dye; that it shelters its mem
bers by every artifce which Chinese
cunning can devise, and that it sets at
defiance the laws of the land; but here
our knowledge on the subject ends. We
do not know the motives which under
lie the frequent murders, nor do we
seem to know how to break up these
longs or put an end to their career of
crime.
The suggestion has been made, and it
is worth considering, that an Indictment
for criminal conspiracy would lie
against an entire Tong or society whose
members were known or believed to be
guilty of murder. So far as we can
know anything about the secret work
ings of these organizations there is
ample reason to believe that the muir
ders are committed after full discussion
and the murderer selected by his So
| ciety and instructed as to how and
when he shall do his deadly work. If
this be true there is certainly Grim
inal conspiracy preceding every one of
these Highlander murders, and the
whole society is liable to Indictment.
Such wholesale attack upon these
secret societies would do much to break
| them up. AS it is now they care very
little if one of their number happens to
fall into the clutches of the law. They
have plenty of assassins left, and one
more or less makes no difference to the
| Tong. If, however, the whole Tong
were indicted the Chinese would be-
lieve that the officers of the law were
in earnest and it would work a change
in their system of getting rid of those
| who were inimical to them.

THE INDIANAPOLIS FIRE.
Twenty Lost Their Lives--Institute ON.
Gals Blamed.


cIa1s Blamed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 23.-Nineteen dead
bodies removed from the ruins and the
death of child from injuries received,
is the record of the loss of life caused by
the fire that destroyed the Indiana Sur
gical Institute early Friday morning.
The victims were cripples or persons
undergoing operations, and the scenes at
the confagration We're terrible.
Many pairs of braces were unearthed
in the ruin, showing that some of the
unfortunates in their effort to escape had
unloosened their braces and thrown
them away.
The police took possession of the
trunks and many valuables that were
left in some rooms undestroyed. The
patients nearly all had considerable
money with them, which was left in
the rooms in the haste to fly. Four or
five pocket-books were found by the Of
ficers. In some of the books was as
much as $3.50. All of these valuables
We're turned over to the officers of the
institution.
The loss on building and contents is
estimated at $50, 900; covered by $52,.
900 insurance.
There were 316 inmates all told in the
building, which was a labyrinthian af-
fair, many of the windows being grated
so as to prevent the Juvenile inmates
from falling out. These gratings were
responsible for the loss of more than Que
life
