Where the Ships Are.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 19.-The navy
department is informed that the gunboat
Bennington has arrived az Montevideo. The
Atlanta is there also. These two vessels will
increase the American fleet at that point to
i've, the others being the Chicago, Yantic and
Essex. These will be available IN case the
negotiations with Chilli should assume a more
warlike aspect than at present. The Phila-
delphia, Concord and keasarge, at Port au
Prince, could be utilized in the event of pro-
longed trouble, together with the MiantOno-
man. at New York, and the Newark, at Nor
folk. Tire disposition of the vessels on the
Pacific station Is as follows: The San Fran
cisco and Charleston at San Diego, the Balti-
more and Mohican at SAN Francisco, the
Pensacola at Honolulu, the Boston at Callao,
the Yorktown at Valparaiso and the IrOquois
at Samoa.
Mr.. Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder,
was at the navy department in conference
with naval officials in regard to the condition
of work on naval vessels under construction
at his yard. He says that the work was pro-
crossing As rapidly as possible, but was ham
pered somewhat by the scarcity of materials
For this reason he could not say positively
when the cruiser New York would be really
for her trial trip. Cruiser No. L, better
known as the Pirate, Is well under way and
will be ready for launching in May.

The Dukes Funeral.

LONDON, January 19.-Preparations for the
funeral of Duke of Clarence and Avondale
have been going on at Sandringham, by the
railway companies and at Windsor Castle. 1t
is believed tina. the statements regarding the
queens health are greatly exaggerated. She
is greatly affected by the death of her favor
lite grandson, but that she is seriously i'll is
not shown in tine arrangements that have
beea made for her presence at the funeral
ceremonies. A special train will convey her
to London to-day. The holy OF the duke
will be conveyed from SandringhaIn and will
arrive at Windsor Castle to-day.
The interment will take place at noon to-
morrow. The body viii lie placed in a crypt
in St. Georges chapel.
The Prince of Wales and family will not
appear in public for year. DR.. Lakin is de-
tanned, watching the Princess of Wales and
the Princess Nav, fearing that influenza may
attack them. Prince George, who is still
weak from an attack of typhoid fever, Is also
the cause of anxiety.

The Baltimore Investigation Com.
pIeteS

YIIEo, CAL, January 15.-Thc Baltimore
investigation is completed. By the testimony
of salons the facts were clearly brought out
that the attack was pcemeditated. and that
the ponce and soldiers aided the mob in the
deadly work.
The medical officers testimony shows GRIM
mai Reslecs of the wounded sailors In the
Valparaiso hospital.
The senior officers testified as to the legal
procedings In Valparaiso, bringing out clearly
The failure OF the Valparaiso court to estab-
fish anything to the detriment of the sailors,
and the care which the Judge of crimes e1er-
cised N avoiding an investigation that might
bring forth reflections on the Valparaiso
police.
Ecaptain Schley, on taking the stand, gave
. resume of the whole history sire, the vessel
reached Valparaiso. he spoke over an hour
and was listened to with great attention. He
showed forth plainly the inception and growth
af tho aafi-Ame.ican FEELING among the Chill
ians and the many discOurtesies he and bis
SailorS wene subjected to.
Lieutenant McCrea also testified 6 to the
III 5eelng toward Americans.

The Gillian Problem.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 1s.-The pres
ident concluded his examination of the diplo-
matte correspondence In the Gillian contro-
versy and sent the communications back to
the state department.
At the cabinet meeting, which was compar-
ahvely brief, he announced this fact and
indicated that the next step would not be de-
layed. The whole matter was discussed in a
general way, but no action was taken, as
there Is nothing TO be done until the CORES
pondence is published.
1t Is ascertained that the president Will &C
company the transmission of the correspond
ence by message which probably will 60
over the ground of the entire controversy and
advance certain propositions that will define
the attitude of the administration in posi-
tive manner.
In view of the general belief that the presi-
dent Is considerably argrieved at the position
taken by Chill. the message Is expected with
more than usual interest. 1t Is thought the
message will be sent to congress this week.

CINCINNATI, O.. January 0.-The Phenix
powder mills, situated at Central City. near
Ceredo, and about half way between Hunt
ins'on, W. Va. and Catlettsburg, Ky., are
exploded. This is the third explosion of this
mill within three months and is by all odds
the most destrUciv i've one. How the awful
wreck was brought about will never be known,
because 10. soul that was in the mill Is left
alive TO tell the story.
At s 80 O'Clock people in Ironton. twenty
five miles away, heard terrible detonatinc
roar. In Ceredo, three miles away, windows
were broken and wares in stores shaken from
the shelves. In Catlettsbury, nearly ten
miles away, the earth shook and the PEOPLE
were alarmed

The Prince Is Dead.

IaNsDoH.-The Duke of Clarence, the eldest
son Of the Prince of Wales, is dead.
The Prince of Wales has sent the following
telegram to the lord mayor of London: Our
beloved son passed away at 8 o'clock to-
day. Albert Edward
The news of the death of the Duke of Clar-
ence has caused widespread grief. and de-
monstrations of public feeling are every
where apparent. On all the public buildings
tia.s are displayed at hslf-mas., and through
out ths whole of London the news was re-
ceived with expressions of the deepest sorrow.
On receipt of the news the lord mayor at
once gave orders to have the great bell in ST.
Pauls cathedral tolled.
Tho bells in st. Paul's are never tolled save
IN the occasion of the death an heir to the
throne.
The St. James Gazette, in an article which
IS believed to reflect the general feeling. says:
1T would be sycophancy TO say that the hap
less prince was regarded with enthusias ic
devotion or intense personal regard 10y the
majority of those over whom he might have
ruled.
But II Il the circumstance of his approach
ing marriage wherein the special pathos lies.
The death OF the duke can hardly make seri-
Gus differences IN the political or dynastic
situation. Prince George of Wales steps in
to the place of heir. If the tragic event has
any lesson II IS that II Is a duty that princes
owe to their subjects, from their position, TO
take due and seasonable measures 10 MAKE
the succession secure"

DRUGGISTS Arrested.

EspoK1A, KAN, January 16.-Quite SEN
sation was caused here on account of war
rants being issued By County Attorney Wat
erbury for the arrest Of two Of the leading
druggists of this city, charging them with
unlawfully selling intoxicants. Ben Wheldon
and Fred Haustler are the two unfortunates.
Waterbury hes also had the keepers of sew
eral joints arrested and has evidence enough,
he claims, to convict every druggist in the
city except two. 1t seems that but one drug
gist in the city has permit to sell liquor I'M
der the Murray law, and proof of sale in
others is all that is necessary 10 make case.
As the druggists are generally wealthy and
most OF them society people, much comment
is being made and society circles are thor
oughly stirred up, as the penalty is 500 fine
and thirty days In Jail for each count, if con-
victed, and the county attorney claims that
he can convict at least four druggists, each
on from ten to thirty counts. and one joint
keeper on seventy-one counts.
Waterbury was elected by the alliance and
figured somewhat prominently at Topeka
during thy last Legislature. 1t is claimed by
some here that he is figuring for the people 5
party nominating him for district Judge.
More arrests are looked for.

OLD "PRESS" MULLIN.
The King Bee Of Moonshiners ar
His Gang Arrested

The King Bee OF MoOnShinerS and
His Gang Arrested.
PARKERsBURG, W. Va, January O.-'Old
Press" Mullin, the king bee of moonshiners
and father of the FIVE Mullin boys who are
notorious for their bloody instincts and def
ance of the law and its officers, was brought
in, together with two others. The Mullin
gang and its stills in the Alleghenies where
they border the state of Virginia and West
Virginia, between Mcdowell county, W. Va,
and Buchanan county, Va. The country
was so wild and mountainous and the moon
sinners friends were so numerous that for
twenty years they have detied the power of
the two states and the government of the
United States.
In addition to the three members of the
Mullin gang, the officers also brought in ten
more, all moonshiners. This gang was cap
tured in Mercer county. Several of them
have already made an open confession. This
will be one of the largest criminal terms Of
the United States court ever held IN the state.
There are 265 cases on the docket, one-half of
which is composed of moonshiners.
When "Old Press" was brought into court
it was thought that he was on trial, and the
United States court room was consequently
crowded with spectators. Instead of trying
him, and sentencing him TO the pen, much to
the astonishment of the spectators. the old
Sinner gave bond on which two of the best
people of Mcdowell were bondsmen in 81 900
each, with Old Press for another 81, 900, con-
hngent upon carrying out one Of the 9ueerest
arrangements ever made IN a United States
court room. but one which may do more to-
ward breaking up mOonshining in the noun
tains than all the marshals and deputies in
the service. Old Mullin agreed, in case he
was allowed TO go free, to go home and turn
over all the stills he had hidden in the noun
tain Businesses to the deputies. and to forever
quit the Illicit business. In addition. he
promised TO get all of the members of his
notorious gang 10 lay down their Winchssters
and surrender to the authorities and to quit the
business He also promised to induce others
of the fraternity to comply with the laws here
after. 1t was remarkable affair, but people
who were present from the mountainous re-
gion seemed without dissent. to agree that,
although novel, it was the best plan ever
adopted to put a stop TO the bloody and dan
gerous business. So sure were the gentle
men, both excellent men, that Old Press
would keep his word that they did not hest
tate to go on his bond for his appearance at
the next term of United States court at
Charleston, where he was to make his report
and submit to the judgment OF the court.

The Brennan Trial.

TOPEKA, January 19.-Shsrif Ridenour, of
Stevens county, came to Topeka for the pur-
pose of getting instructions regarding the
trial of James Brennan for the murder of
Sam Wood, which comes up this week at
Hugoton. The governor and attorney gen
eral are decided that it will be best not to
take Brennan to Hugoton next week. They
have also decided that the state will enter a
motion of nolle pros, which will no doubt be
sustained by the presiding Judge. This will
dismiss Brennan without bail, but will leave
the case in such condition that Brennan
may at any time in the future, when the con-
ditiOns are different. be re-arrested and tried
for the murder for which he is nov held.

The Gateway to Chill.

WASHINGTON. d. c., January 19.-Upon the
occasion of call upon Secretary Blame, by
five members of the house committee on for
eign affairs, the secretary took occasion TO
impress upon them the Importance of the
Nicaragua canal TO the United States from a
commercial point OF view, and especially as
stragetIc advantage OF enormous potency
in moving our naval vessels from one side of
the country to the other.
The reported preparations of the Chilian
government for war, are viewed with deep
concern at the navy department.
The reported shipment of torpedoes from
MOntevideo to Chill warns our naval officers
that in event of war they are to meet foe
armed with the best modern weapons.
A fleet of three CHILEAN vessels has been dis
patched under scaled orders from Valparaiso.
1t Is the prevailing opinion at the navy de-
partment that this fleet is bound for the
Straits of Magellan, which may be regarded
as the gateway to Chilli.

NEW YoRK, January 1s.-R. G. Dun i Co. .
Weekly Review of Trade says:
1t was suggested two weeks ago that the
exports in December were likely to be extra
ordinarily large. Preliminary reports just
issued indicate that the exports in that month
were probably the larges: ever known, for
while no increase appears in cotton and ex-
ports of provisions, cattle and oil slightly
less than year ago, gain of SD, 10O, 900 ap-
pears In breadstufs, making the net increase
in the principal items 81, SIC. s54, or nearly
25 per cent, indicating that the aggregate
exports for the month will probably exceed
s116, 100000 agains. about sos, oOO, 900 last
year, when the amount was greater than it
had ever been in any month. The exports of
flour increased 50 per cent. and the exports
of wheat are Is, 600, QUO bushels against 4, &c.,
600 last year, while the exports OF cotton were
As, 0OO, coo pounds greater IN quantity, though
no increase appears IN the value, owing to the
low price. These enormous features over
Swallowed all other features in the CONNER
cial situation. They insure large supplies OF
money, if ever needed, but at present the
markets everywhere are well supplied, except
at southern points, and better supplied there
than a week ago. Treasury disbursements
have been large, and there Is no reason 70
look for a lack in the supply of money.
Another fact of large importance Is that
the iron output WAS not diminished In De-
cenber as is usual, owing to the Stoppage of
furnaces during the holidays, but was 1ss, 0e2
tons weekly, against 1SS, lbs December !.
The market is fairly active, though the enor-
NOUS output gives the buyers the advantage.
The wool production of last year IS esti-
mated considerably larger than that of the
year before, but the stocks on hand are some
what larger, indicating that the consumption
in 1891 had been about the same as in 1880.
The market shows no important change.
At Chicago the sales of dry goods, clothing
and shoes were larger than year ago.
Some increase has been made in barley, Is
per cent. in cattle, one-third in -four, corn,
oats and hides, while the receipts of wheat
and dressed beef were double those of last
year; but decrease occurs in cured meats,
lard and cheese, and in wool the receipts are
only half as large as year ago.
Breadstufs have been much weaker since
the publication of the government reports,
and wheat has fallen q, corn 13s, and oats
d of a cent. Coffee Is unchanged: cotton
fell to 1877 during the week, the lowest price
for forty-three years, but has since recovered
to S7.5S, though receipts and stocks are re-
markably large.
The business failures throughout the coun-
try for the past week number 80, compared
with 435 the previous week. For the CORES
ponding week last year they were All.

A SpeCk of War,

BERLIN, January 19.-The foreign Office
here expects crisis shortly that will proba-
bly, lead to war between Servic and Bulgaria,
but no fear Is entertained of active Russian
interference. The Bulgarian government
considers the time oppHr.une for bringing
the differences between Bulgaria and Servia
to climax, so it has opened again by notify
ing Servia that it will no longer permit the
gathering of Bulgarian refugees in frontier
forts. StambouIof, the Bulgarian prime
minister, has intiInated to the German and
Austrian governments the necessity of Bull
tier to pI otect the country from sudden attack.
The Austrian agent warned the government
of Servia that it would be held responsible
for breaking the peace of Europe, unless the
demands of Siam ooulof are conceded. The
reply of Servia was tina. the government Offers
to expel refugees if it Is proved that they are
conspirin2 to make q raid upon Bulgaria
This response Is held to be unsatisfactory,
and Bulgaria's preparations are being accsl-
Grated,
