The steamer Is lying in somewhat protected
situation. The City Of Chicago is insured
partly in the company itself, on the sinking
fund plan, and partly in insurance companies.
She is favorite second-clsss vessel
and had large passenger list for her
return voyage to New York on Wednesday
next, no less than 100 saloon passengers having
been booked for the journey, besides full Sec
ond cabin and full Storage. These will prob
ably be transferred to the Adriatic of the White
Star line, leaving Liverpool on July 6, and to
the steamers which leave Southampton about
the same date.
The cargo of the City Of Chicago is very
and dead meat The weather, says another
account, was very fine until yesterday, when it
became foggy. The City Of Chicago was sig
nailed off Brow Head at 445 IN the afternoon.
After the steamer passed Cape Clear she saw
nothing until she struck, at 8 O'Clock in the
evening.
No passengers remained on the steamer all
night, although many returned to the vessel at
early dawn for their clothing and valuables and
baggage. The light of day showed feet of
steamers coming TO the rescue. These had been
sent from Queenstown by the agents Of the
line.
The Rev. Theodore s. Rumney Of New York,
who was saloon passenger, with Mrs. Rumney
and Miss Rumney, says IL was fearful expert

The Next Few Hours VIII Determine the
Matter.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The Inter-Ooean will
print this morning Washington sps-
cial asserting that the crisis In Chilian
matters israpidly approaching. Yesterday it
says, an ultimatum was sent to the Chilian
government through Minister Egan.
The dispatch was signed by Sec
retary Blaine. II was of
a peremptory character and di-
rected Egan to demand categoricaily of
the Chilian governments an immediate an
swer to the request already made. The
purpose of it is to inform the Chilian
government that the United States must
have an answer at once to it's demand for
reparation and apology. The Presidents
message is to be sent to congress
Monday. whatever may be the answer from
Egan. An immense mass Of correspondence
will be sent with the message, but it will
not be necessary for the people to read il
to arrive at an understanding Of the mat
/ ter. That can be learned from Presi-
dent saarrison's message, which
will be about three newspaper
columns in length, and will compactly
state the American case. The presi-
dent will not delay six months OF
six weeks more for the Chilians There
will be no more delay. Unless he and the
cabinet are much mistaken, the next few
hours will determine whether there will be
peace or war.

DEFRAUDED OF HER PROPERTY
Remarkable Story of AN Old Mendicant
of Sioux CITY.

Remarkable Story of an Old Mendicant
of Sioux City.
SIOUX C1rY, Iowa, Jan. GA remarkable
story ia told by an old lady who lives in n
woodshed in the rear of u prominent law
yer's residence in this city. She says she is
n daughter of Gen. Patterson, of Mexican
war fame, and is the wife of Col. Graham.
She followed a regiment to Mexico, whore
she and a daughter of Gen. Taylor carried
the flag over the walls at Chapultepec,
when it had fallen from tho hands of
Major Vnuaorn. She says hor father
was very rich when he died. and charges
Gov. Iattison, of Pennsylvania, with
keeping her from her inheritance. She
came here aon.e years ago from New Or
leans, bringing with her about $4,000,
which che invested in property. This ia all
gone, and she declares she was swindled
out of it by parties here. She has lived in
u filthy howell n long while. depending on
the county for n scant supply of coal Tho
fact of her being kept in such poverty
causes Indignation among the people, and
she doubtless will be cared for hereafter.
A large amount of jewelly and silver plate,
which she had when she cnmo here. is gone,
but she still keeps number of beautiful
dresses. Hor story is generally believed,
though tho connection with the Pennsyl-
vania governor is not clear.

Lack of Information as to Its Correct
Design.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-First Assistant
Quartermaster- General Whitfield has re-
ceived from the postmaster at Baird, Allan
county. Texas, en- explanation Of the con-
federate flag incident. He said that at the
time the county fair was in progress the
citizens decorated and displayed as many
flags as they could obtain. The supply OF
United States flags became exhausted, and
the owner of the building in which the
postotfoe was located procured some bunt-
ing and had his sister make flag. With
only imperfect knowledge of how the
United States flag is fashioned, the result
of her labor was complete failure except
as a display of bunting. Instead of thir-
teen stripas, her flag had only three, with
nine stars in the blue field. But it was
hoistod over tho postofioe building. Gen.
Whitfield. however, is in possession of
af1idavits of ivo reputable people, who do
clare thar on several specified dates they
saw the confederate flag flying over the
postofics building, and were told by oiti-
zens of the town that it was the confeder-
| ate flag. But inasmuch as the postmaster
declared that the flag was not confederate
flag, and not purposely made to resemble
one. and expressed deep regret that he had
done anything that could be construed as
disloyal act toward the government,
Whitfield is inclined to let the incident
pass.
