mission in London, regarding the trade
in human life. Mr.. Plimsoll has for
years been the champion CT the rights
and interests of sailors and brought
about many great reforms in the ship
ping regulations during the past few
years.
In his tertimony given last week
before the commission, Mr.. Plimsoll
gave statistics to prove that the loss OF
life on board British ships is quadruple
that, proportlonally, of those of any
other nation. The Importance of seek
ing the cause of this frightful slaughter
of human life needed no argu ment.
He believed there could be no doubt
that it would be found in the vicious
system of insurance whereby it was
frequently more profitable thing for
an owner to lose his ship-and Incl
dentally kill score or so of poor sea-
men-than to save it. The gentleman
also caused sensation among his col
leagues by pointing out, and proving
by comparison of statistics, the fact
that, whenever the value of shipping
declines in periods of mercantile de-
preston, it becomes to the interest of
owners to lose their ships.

Four People Killed.

NEWARK, N. j., Feb. 3.-Last night,
explosion at the hat factory of the ]
Rnmmel Company turns out more serious
than at first announced. 1t was thought
that only three were killed, but thu
morning fourth body was found. Tht
names of the dead are Oscar Lewscb
Daniel O'Keefe, Albert Anderson anc
William Duffy. Anderson and Duffy
were burned to a crisp, but enough
identifying marks we're found upon them
to leave no doubt as to who they were
A large crowd has been gathered about
the wrecked building all morning. The
machine that exploded was used to col
lect alcoholic gases that escaped from the
hats as they were being dried. The gases
were carried by pipes TO this machine
and then condensed to alcohol again. 1t
was the first machine of the kind ever
built, and was built as an experiment
The owners of the factory say the men
were wholly to blame for the explosion,
and assert they ought to have known
better than TO carry light In the room
where the condenser was located.

TELEGRAPHIC.


The Governor on the Portage Roa d
SALEM, Or, Feb. 2.-Gov. Pennoyer
said to reporter today that the state
ment in the Washington dispatch of
February to the Oregonian, that be had
written to Speaker Crisp and other Dem
ocrsts in the house to defeat by all
means any project for boat railway
scheme, is absolutely without foundation.
He said his whole offense, if any, was in
urging the passage of an appropriation
for portage railway, and In that matter
he had the support of the legislature of
Oregon, as that body, at its last session,
had unanimously passed concurrent
resolution asking for such appropriation.
As to his receiving no reply from the
chief Of engineers he expressed no dis
appointment. That functlonary in Janu-
ary, 1889, recommended a portage road,
and in December, 1889, opposed it, and
the discourteous refusal Of inan
possessed of such whiff1ing judgment to
reply to his letter, he said, did not cause
him any loss of sleep. The governor be.
iieved that the dispatch was doubtless
iDshgated by ore or both OF our senators,
and he was content to let the people of
Oregon decide which scheme was most
beneficial, the portage railroad, costing
$431, 800, which could be built In one
year, or the boat railway, costing $780,
356, which, if the appropriations were
made for it by the government. as appro-
priations have been made for the Cascad.
locks, would occupy more than twenty
four years IN Its construction.

By Popular Demand .

BRUSSELS, Feb. 3.--The important
question of the revision of the constitu-
ton, raised by the popular demand for
universal sufferage, came up yesterday
before the house of representatives on a
proposition by Herr JanIsen, the radical
lesder, for revision of the suffrage
clauses of the constitution. Premier
Beernaert gave his adhesion to the pro
posal, but said that before the dissolution
of the present parliament, for the election
of a constitutional assembly. it would be
well to agree upon the general scope of
the suffrage reform and constitutional
revision and proceeded to lay before the
house a bill embodying the views of the
government. The bill creates household
suffrage, and increases the electoral body
from 10000 to 900, 900 voters. 1t modi-
ies the veto clause of the constitution.
and grants the king power, after any law
passes parliament, to refer it to the peo-
pie. After long debate. the house
agreed to the proposal of Minister Beer
neart to refer the bill to the central
section. house, which will report in April.

A celebrated character in English
ecclesiastical affairs passed to the silent
majority at Mentone, France, last
Sunday. For long years the pulpits
of the English speaking peoples were
electrified by the sermons of Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, in Brooklyn,
N. Y, and the discourses of Rev. G.
S. Spurgeon in London, England.
Perhaps Mr.. Beecher was the greater
pulpit orator; but Mr.. Spurgeon had
as firm hold on the affections of his
congregation. Long years since MIR.
Beecher was numbered with the dead;
but Mr.. Spurgeon still occupied his
pulpit, and attracted all classes and
conditions of people to his church, un-
til recently. The English divine
is dead, and the tabernacle which
echoed TO his sermons, will be silent to
his voice. He was Christian in the
true sense of the term, and, at the
news of his death, Christendom will
uncover its head, and say "Peace to
his soul and may he rest in peace.

Excessively Friendly


NEW YORK, Feb. 3-The Herald's Val.
paraiso special says: Senator Peireirra,
minister of foreign affairs, called at the
United States legation today and person
ally thanked Egan for Blaine's recent
dispatch accepting Chili's reply to the
ultlmatum on the Baltimore affair as
satisfactory. The meeting between the
diplomats was apparently of most
friendly character. The offices of the
DemOcraria at Santiago and Oppisicion at
Valparaiso have been cleaned out.
These papers were regarded as untrlendly
to the government. The former was at.
tackled by a mob and short work was
made of the Office. In the case of the
latter it is claimed that some military
officers, who were passing the Office, were
insuIted from the windows and assaulted
with iron bars and pistol shots. They
broke into the office, smashed the furni
ture, pied the forms and otherwise
wrecked the office. Both papers, as well
as La Republica, whose office was cleaned
out yesterday, issued small fly sheets to-
day. protesting against the actions of the
mob as violation of the liberty of the
press.
President. Montt, with Captain Simp-
son, has gone to Taldahuano to inspect
the new dock and plan of forts for the
protection of the harbor. Captain CORN,
late commander of the Imperial under
Balmaceda, has arrived here from Peru.
He was arrested and placed on board the
CAtggsns. General Velasquez is still
prisoner on board the Erraeuriz.

Death was Inevitable.

SPOKANE, WASH, Feb. 3.-Full partic-
ulars of the death of young Richardson,
near Juliata last Saturday, were obtained
today. From one of the coroner's jury it
is learned that upon examination bull
let was found in the abdomen. The
physician attempted to probe for the
bullet, but failing to find it in this man
nef almost entirely dissected the body In
searching for it, and finally gave up the
attempt. When found Richardson was
lying on the side of the hill with his feet
downward, and the stock of his gun was
lying under his right leg, while the bar
rel was lying ecross his left leg. 1t is
supposed that be feared death from heart
disease, and ended his life with gun in

Outbreak of Prisoners.

Boston, Feb. 3.-An outbreak was
reported this morning amonge the
prisoners of Deer Island, and fifty police.
men were sent from this city to the scene.
This Is the second riotous demonstration
that has occurred In that institution
within few weeks. 1t is stated the
men refused to go to work when ordered
this morning, and threatened the officers
lives. A detail of men from various
stations was Immediately sent down on
the police boat, and their arriv al there
was announced by Captain Bragdon, who
notified the headquarters that some more
men were needed, as the trouble was
serious. Additional assistance was sent,
and reserve police have been ordered in
readiness fer immediate service. When
the police arrived at Deer Island, a large
number of convicts were making a great
noise. They refused to go to work, and
threatened the police, numbering sixty
men. The police drew clubs, and In a
short time the mob was under subjec-
tion, after free use of battons. The re.
tractory prisoners were soon locked in
in their cells.
Commissioner Devlin attributes the
trouble to lack of room at the lnstitu
tlon. There are between 800 and 900
adult prisoners on the island and only
420 cells.

Frozen on the Hillside

SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 2.-Word has
reached this city that the remains of
John Richardson, popular and we'll
known young farmer Of Fox Ridge,
Idaho, we're ioupd yesterday morning by
a search party which had gone to his re-
lief John left his fathers home last
Saturday, presumably on short hunting
trip, and never returned alive. The
searching party, composed of nearly 100
men, found Richardson on a steep
hillside about three-quarters of mile
from his home. He was lying In a
cramped position with his gun in his
arms and there was not scar or blemIsh
to be found on him. When the men
went to lift him up and place him upon
a s.retcher they found that he was frozen
solld, and it was difficult to stralghten
his limbs. After a thorough examination,
the decision was reached that he had
died of heart disease. He has heretofore
been troubled with his heart, and his
physician has often warned him against
violent exercise. 1t was supposed that
the exertion of climbing the steep hill
proved too mnch for him, and when he
sat down to rest the trouble came upon
him and ended his life.

There are some examples in the
history of the United States where
the American navy has displayed suf-
icient patriotism to protect the rights
of citizens, and the most noted of these
is the case of Kozta, a naturalized cit
izen of Austrian birth. He was
imprisoned on board an Aust rian war
vessel, and Capt. Ingraham, of an
American war ship demanded his re-
lease. There were several Austrian war
ships in the harbor, but the American
commander prepared his deck for action,
and in half hour Kozta was delivered
to him. If Capt. Schley, of the Balti-
more, had followed the same course
there would have been no complica-
tion with Chill, and the United States
would not have been under The neces-
sity of diplomatic correspondence with
the junta at Callao. We are not in
favor of war, but believe in surround
ing every citizen of the republic with
such a wall of protection that no per-
son or government will dare infringe
upon his rights. The name Of Amer
ican cltizen-the same as an English
subject-should commanl respect
every where, and there should be ships
of war to enforce this in every harbor
of the world.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Goldw,n Smith
made few remarks last night at the
dinner to Captain Schley, of the Balti
more. He said he gladly took advantage
OF the occasion to express his regret as an
Englishman at the repeated utterances of
portion of the British press respecting
the Chilian affair. He said he hoped the
worst had come to the Unites States and
the best stayed behind. Speaking of
criticisms on the presidents message of
the Chilian question, Smith said, to him,
it seemed entirely temperate. dignlfied
and logically Conclusive. Captain Schley
also spoke briefly. He said the steamer
Baltimore always stood as the representa-
tive of the great power under whose flag
it sailed. He referred to the efficiency of
the crew of the vessel, and said that If
the circumstances during the late Chilian
affair required it, he thought the mem
bers of the crew would have acted in
such manner as to merit the approval
of the government. "The cloud of war
has now blown over" the captain said,

THE BRITISH PRESS.

The British press has settled che
Chilian question in manner highly
satisfactory to most Britishers. L has
denounced the president of the United
States as political trickster, the
United States people as conglomer-
alton of bullies, the United States
minister to Chill as gasconading
Irishman. The effect of all this in the
United States, so far as it will have
any effect, may be to make Mr.. Egan
"solid" with some who have not ap-
proved of his appointment. 1t may
be said in his behalf that gentleman
who, as minister, has made himself so
very offensive to the British people
must have been prudently jealous for
the United States interests.
British citizens resident in the
United States do not vote at presi-
Dental elections, otherwise Mr.. Harri-
son might expect a strongly organized
opposition in the next convention.
The causes of the bitterness of the
British press toward the United
States, and its professed sympathy
with Chill, are easily discernible. ''The
jinghng of the guinea" to quote the
Laureate, is at the bottom of them,
as an eastern exchange well says.
The British do not care con-
tinental cent about Chilli, but they
care great deal about their CONNER
cial ascendeney In that republic. They
have fostered Chillan ill-feeling toward
the United States and have encouraged
Chilian insolence by unofficial and in.
sincere promises of aid in the event Of
war. They know that henceforth,
whether the event of the present mis-
understanding be peace or war, the
United States residents in Chill are
sure to be more respectfully treated
than formerly. They know that the
"certain inalienable rights" of our cit
izens henceforth will be maintained
when they sojourn in Chill as well as
when they remain at home. These
things are the cause of British trouble.
The ill-natured snarling of the Lon
don press will not cause a change of a
hairs breadth in our policy toward
Chill. Nor will it take single vote
from the president in convention or at
tha rollo
