that the representative OF Great
Britain will join in the
request. II so it is hard to see
how the Chilean authorities can re-
fuse it. At all events the fact that the
refugees are there will not prevent this
government from making war on Chile
il sech an act be deemed necessary.
So conservative man as Mr.. NC
Creary OF Kentucky, who has served Tor
wears on the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, and who was the chairman OF the
committee in the Fiitieth Congress, said
to the correspondent: "The war spirit
is very general throughout the coun-
try. It is net confined to the
young men who have come upon the
scene since 1861. lind IL
quite as prevalent among the
soldiers of the North and South who
served in the Union and Confederate
armies. A million of these men would
espond to call to arms. There would
be no trouble about the number OF men.
The only embarrassment would be
whom to select"
Two of the best known naval
officers of the retired list have
filed their application for service
in the event of war with Chile.
One OF these is Admiral Thomas
II. Stevens, who gained the sobriquet OF
"Fighting Tom" during the civil war.
The other is j. S. Jouett, who also served
with distinction from 1861 TO 1865, and
who was retired a-Year ago with the

sixty-four years OF age, while "Fight-
ing Tom Stevens is several
years his senior. But the war
spirit is quite as strong in
them now as II was three
decades ago, when they were known
as two of the bravest officers In
the navy, and there fs no question that
they would render a good account Of
themselves should their services be re-
uuired.

Ory, Though

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 31-Senor
Montt, the Chilean Minister, hadanother
interview with Secretary Blains to-day.
The Minister laid before the Secretary
the following translation OF a telegram
from Mr.. Malta, the Minister of For
eign Affairs, bearing on the inquiry in
to the trouble In the City of Valparaiso
between the Chileans and tn, sailors
from the United States steamship Balti-
more:
SANTIAGO, December a, 1891.
To rinister of Chile, Washington, o.:
From the summary Of proceedings 1t
appears that the struggle commenced
between two sailors at the Ward
"ArrayaD;" that it was continued on
the street with the accession OF num-
bers of inhabitants and transient
parties from the streets called
"Del Clave," "San Francisco" and
"Alamos." The disorder continued and
extended to the street. del Arsenal
and "San Martini" where the police
force succeeded In restoring order. All
the North Americans except two state
that the police did their dqty,snSdb nSdbdi29P. tiEoPn

duty.
Whenever the prosecuting attorney
renders his opinion and the time for
producing evidence shall have expired,
sentence will be given, establishing
who and how many are tho guilty par
ties, who may only be presumed at
present. Whoever they may be they
will be punished. The legal proceed
ings are being actively carried forward
TO their proper termination.
Signed. MATTA.
The minister, when asked by an AS
sociated Press reporter for an opinion
respecting statements made In the tele-
gram, called special attention to the
statement that's all North Americans, ex-
cepting two, had said the police did
their duty. He regards this as favor
able to the Chilean side of the contro-
versy.
1t is noted that the Chilean Minister
of Foreign Affairs promises that when
the due process of law according 10
Chilean Jurisprudence be observed those
found guilty will be punished, and says
th at these judicial proceedings are be-
ing carried forward actively.

InstrucrI ons to Our OficIals in Europe.
Extent of the War Spirit in the United
States.
WASHINGTON, December 31.-Within
the last few days inrtructions have been
sent to the United States Navy attaches
at London, Paris and Rome to acquaint
the State Department with the move
ments of Chile's agents both in Great
Britain and on the Continent.
Similar instructions have been sent 10
the United States Consuls at number
of the moro important marine cities in
Europe.
1t will be the business OF the officials
to familiariZe themselves with all the
transactions Of Chile's representatives.
1t is known, for example, that Chile has
been quietly negotiating with some OF
the big gun manufacturers for the pur-
chase OF heavy ordnance and other mu-
nitions OF war.
1t Is also known that several OF the
brightest young men In the Chilean
army have been sent to Germany TO
study the latest modes Of war as they
find expression In Emperor Williams
school OF military training. The Chile
ans entertain wholesome respect for
the prowess OF the German nation and
for the military skill which ii has evinc-
ed from the time OF the late Franco
Prussian war, and they believe that the
instruction which their own military
men viii secure in Berlin will be bene-
fetal to them in the event Of hostilities
with the United States or any other
country.
Lieut.. Ward, ou- naval attache at
Paris was asked several weeks ago TO
send to the Navy Department not only
a full description OF the Captain Prat,
the formidable cruiser which is being
built on the Seine for the Chilean
Government, hut the progress
that is f1ving made upon
her, the number Of men engaged in her
construction, the hours OF labor employ
ed and the earliest practicable date
when she could be made ready for sea.
Lieut.. Ward has probably done this,
but as yet his report has not reached
the Navy Department.
The administration believes that 1t
has founi means of affording protec-
tion TO ths refugees at the American

The Whole Family Dead.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 31.-A
Republic special from Atchison, Kss.,
says: John Delaney, wealthy farmer
Of Dennison county, Kas., took sick a
week ago and died in a few hours. The
day of the funeral his wife was taken
III, and in twenty-four hours she also
died.
The two sons In California were sent
for. They arrived in time for the
funeral obsequies OF the mother, and
yesterday both sons died apparently OF
the same disease. II is supposed the
cause OF the death Of all was the moving
into sleeping rooms OF a new house they
had just completed.

The aggregate deposits OF these
banks are about $780, 1000, and their
loans and discounts are S5,2sl,175, as
shown by the sworn statements filed q
couple Of months ago. The daily clear
ingS, as indicated by the trial recently
made, range about Sl3O,OOO, and are es-
timated by bankers to average fully
S9OO,O per week, or say S47,OOO,OoO
per year-a showing which many larger
cities would envy. In fact, the tinsn-
cial transactions of Wheeling, with
population of say $4,000, are equal 10
those Of cities ranging from 10000 to
100, 900 population. This, better, per-
haps, than any other one thing, shows
the prosperous condition OF the citys
aud the thrift, business activity and
wealth Of our people.

There is very respectable colored

"Bnt there isn't any moon, Uncle

"bordy, no, sah.
"Too much booze?"
"Never teches IL. G'lang, yoh knows

"Well," said the policeman. with as
sumed severity, "I'll have too run you
In for dsorderly conduct"
"Lordy, sab, doan you do that.

a ghostly whisper.
"The cat? Whist cat?"
"Our old Tom. We'se cookin' him."
Cooking the cat? Why man alive,

.'No, sab. II am chawm agin hoo

A long, loud new was heard from the
direction OF the hoose, and a big. gray
cat ran out, scattering the family In DIFF

'Doan gimme away, mister" she said

Secretary Elkins took hold of the reins
of the War Department to-day. That is
to say he took hold of enough hands
and shook them to warrant the assump-
tion that he is now in office.
He put in an appearance at about
half-past ten o'clock and for nearly two
hours he received the officers OF the
army on duty in the department, the
chiefs OF division and the clerks and
persons of the Office. He broke
away from the throDg a lit
tie after noon and went over to
the State Department to greet his
friend Mr.. Blaine. There he ran foul
of a batch OF ministers from foreign
countries, but his name was an open
sesame and he had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning an audience.
