Merry Time in California.


Merry Time in California.
DEL MONTE, CAL, Jan. 16.-The San
Francisco Press club spread itself today
in the entertainment of delegates to the
International League of Press clubs,
The Southern Pacific company furnished
special train, and at 8 O'Clock this
morning party OF nearly 200
left San Francisco for Monterey.
A stop was made at Palo Alto
where carriages were in waiting and
took the party to Senator Stanford's
stables. There all the equine celebri-
ties were exhibited. Then the visitors
were driven to Leland Stanford, Jr.,
university, where they were received by
President Jordan and shown through the
college, after which they took the train
and quick run to the Hotel Del Monte
was made. After lunch the hotel party
was driven over the famous seventeen
mile drive, to Cypress Point. The
weather was beautiful and the
guests returned to the hotel
charmed with California. In the even
ing hop was given in the hotel ball
room. Tomorrow morning the delegates
will visit Santa Cruz, the big trees and

They VIII Oppose a Worlds Fair Loan
Appropriation.
CHICAGO. Jan. 16.-The colored men
of the country have been for some time
engaged in preparing protest against
the loan or appropriation of $5,000,000
by the government in aid of the worlds
fair. r. A. Dawson, of this city,
who is prominently connected with the
movement, said today in an interview
"The fair is run az close corporation,
and we are prepared to prove it. The
colored men of the country were refused
representation upon the board OF direc-
tors and national commission. We
won't stand such treatment"

TENNESSEE MINERS.
Alarming Reports from the Scene o

Alarming Reports from the Scene of
Trouble at Coal Creek.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Jan. 16.-A special
to the Appeal from Knox
vile, Tenn, says: Alarming reports
were received from Coal Creek, late to-
night. A man in on late
train says that miners to the
number of 1000 were assembling on
the mountain overlooking the soldiers
camp, with the view of making an at
tack. At IL 80 the operators in the
camp telegraphed: Many miners
massing on mountains, and some firing
by pickets. Camp in much confusion,
expecting an attack, but men prepared
to hold fort"
At midnight nothing further was
heard from the operators. Today was
pay day at Coalereek, and some persons
expect trouble. At midnight the wires
are still up, and the fact they have not
been cut is construed to mean that the
movement OF the miners was simply a
demonstration to worry the troops.

Associated Press Dispatches.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent says: Def
mite instructions we've cabled Minister
Montt yesterday directing the with
drawal of Months offensive note. 1t
was presumed that this was done be-
fore, but it is now known that the with
drawal was not made.
A new complication arose today with
regard to the Balmacedist refugees who
were permitted to go aboard the York
town.
At the last moment the Chilean gov
-ernment refused to guarantee safety of
refugees while going from the Yorktown
to departing steamer, or even to agree
that the steamer on which they took
passage will not be searched. Egan
had been tacitly assured by Pereira,
minister of foreign affairs, that
those to whom he had given asylum
would be permitted to leave. Acting on
those assurances they purchased tickets
and prepared to sail today. The refusal
of the authorities to guarantee safety to
their late foes, made it unsafe for them
to sail. In order to obtain a promise
that their flight would not be prevented,
they offered to take any steamer sailing
either north or south from Valparaiso,
but the offer was not accepted. With
out guarantee of safety, they are liable
to arrest or assault by mob.
Under the circumstances they remained
aboard the Yorktown. Captain Evans
has cabled to Washington for instruc-
tions. 1t is believed that the instruc-
tions will be that the refugees be taken
to Mellendo, Peru, aboard the York
town.
There is no doubt that the request to
guarantee the safety of the refugees
WIS to avert trouble in the cabinet.
Minister of Finance Viergera proposes
to lay duties upon nitrate and iodine,
payable in ninety-day bills, at the rate
of 81 and % pence, respectively, per
metric quintal, thus placing the gov
ernment in the position OF sellers of ex
change, instead of buyers.

Icebcrgs and Their Journey.

1t docs not seem likely that moro than
one or two hundred large icebergs make
their way each year in the only practic-
able path that can take them beyond the
Arctic Circle-that which is afforded by
the current which sets out Of Davis
Strait, and down the Labrador shore,
and then eastward into the Atlantic.
Although we have rs yet but little de-
cided information concerning this occar
stream, save that afforded by the move
ments of the berg and foe, we can
readily see how it affects the journey OF
these wandering fragments from the vas.
Greenland glaciers. Though some
what inconstant, this current is a
tolerably steady stream, setting south
through the wide channel which separ.
ates the shores of Greenland from those
of the many islands which besct the
northeast coast of the American cont.
nent. BY this southwark moving water
the ice is propelled out into the open sea,
The stream continues TO the south, hui
widcns aud diminishcs in the energy oil
its flow. 1t shortly comes in contact
with the Gulf Stream, which it some
what affects, and by which it is much
affected. A part OF the southwark set
ting current passes down along the shore
of Labrador rs n superficial stream of no
great width of speed. Another, and
perhaps the larger part, flows beneath
the Gulf Stream. aud in time joins the
great, slow-moving procession Of Arctic
waters, which, following the bottom of the
deeper sea, IN tho end attain the equa-
torial district. For considerable dis
lance southeast of Greenland there are
thus two distinct currents in the ocean
waters-a lower, moving southwardly,
and an upper, or superficial stratum,
creeping toward the north. The thin
loc-ice, floating altogether within a
hundred feet of the surface, is beaten
back against the Labrador shore by the
surface stream; but the icebergs, be.
cause of their greater depths, are driven
forward by the undercurrent in n south
wardly direction. Owing to, this pc
cuiarity we sometimes may observe the
iccbergs blowing their way through vass
fields OF iloe-ce as adfastly as steam
ship when it breaks its way in the new
formed ice of harbor. -Scribncr.

1t is very common ut this period of the
season 10 see sleeves differing in color and
material from the stuff of which the gown
is made. AS in the dress Just described for
you, velvet seems to be the fayorite material
foi such sleeves, the folded belt and collar
being of the same material. Such sleeves
are usually in pale colors, and add pecu.
liar charm to an artistic toilet. The velvet
sleeve invariably ends in deep haring lace
cuff, or else there is a long cuff of guipure
or pleated gauze. Still another style calls
for long tight sleeve of tie dress material
with pulled velvet sleeve ending at the
elbow, where it is held by band and n bow
OF ribbons. Strange AS it may seem these
velvet sleeves are particularly effective in
combination with soft gauze, flmy materi-
ais, like chifons, crepons, silk gauzes, silk
muslins and the whole long lists of summer
stuffs. The wide flaring cuffs of gupure are
strikingly becoming to a fine hand and arm

better man. The most he paid the old

Another wildly absurd claim was that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
papy had increased wages twenty per
cent. in its shops at Grafton, w. Va.
Whoever first made this claim must have
been the victim of prac teal joke. The
wages Of the Baltimore and Ohio en-
ployes there have constantly tended
downward. During the last year hun
drcds of hands have been thrown out
of employment, and many have been
compelled to leave Grafton for other
places in search OF work. The foundry,
which employed seventy-five men, has
been closed completely. The force of
machinlsts has been greatly reduced. the
carpenter shops have been torn down,
and nearly all the large number OF car
penters formerly employed have been
discharged. Those who have been re-
tanned have had their wages reduced
from 1926 day to S1.75. The rail-
road hands are compelled now to work
fourteen hours day instead of twelve
before they get any extra pay, aud those
employed who formerly worked ten
hours day are only permitted to work
eight now and are paid accordingly.
These arc sample cases. The moro
they are examined the more it will be-
come apparent that either there has been
made wilful attempt to deceive in the
matter of these reported increases of
wages, or that the American Economist
has been imposed upon. 1t is moro

Chaseburg is little town of about fifty
inhabitants. There is no factory there
and there is no man named Howftzer
there. 1t is all hoax
No one has ever yet claimed that there
have been no individual cases where
wages have been increased within the
United States since the Mckinley bill
became law, but the claim has been
made and repeated that no well-authen-
ticated case had yet been reported where
wages had been increasedin consequence
of the operation of that law, while all
over the land, in every State and in we'll
nigh every county, there has arisen case
after case where wages have been re-
duced in some protected industry. The
people of the country are taxed osten-
eibly to enable the wages of American
workmen to be increased. Wages have
not been increased. They have in many
cases been reduced. What then becomes
of the money which the American peo-
pie pay to the manufacturers in tariff
taxes?-New York World.

"Out OF Their Own Mouths. "

No more than casual examination OF
the report of the Treasury Department is
required to prove the utter absurdity of
Republican assertions that The Mckinley
act has reduced prices.
This report shows, for example, that
The following protected necessaries of
life advanced in price from the passage
Of the Mckinley bill to June S0th, 1891,
as follows:
Bituminous coal, 10 cents ton.
Manufactures OF flax. hsmp and jute, Q
,ents n pound-due TO the cordage trust.
Cotton cloth. cent yard.
Common winiow-Sluss. cent pound.
carpets, 81 cents yard.
From 1850 to June S0th, 1891, cotton
cloths advanced cents yard; carpets,
s1.23 yard; pig iron, 1928 ton, and
leaf tobacco cents a pound.
Accepting for the present argument
the statement of the Treasury Depart.
ment, we find that the farmers are not
receiving so much under the Mckinley
act as they received during the period OF
the Walker tariff, commonly abused by
the protcctionists as the "free- trade
era"
From 1855 to 1860 the farmers re-.
ceved from - to SO cents q bushel for
their corn; i'll 1891 they received 81
cents. In the former period they re.
ceived from 9S cents to 81 &c busnel
for their wheat; in 1891 the price was
9S cents.
The fact is that all necessaries of life
have increased in price since the Nc
Knley act, while the prices of farm
products have decreased siuce thet ter
ribe "free- trade era" In other words,
the farmer gets less for his wheat and
pays more for his wife's calico dress.
This is shown by the official figures Of
