MEMPHIS. Jan. 16.-A special to the
Appeal Avalanche from Knoxville, Tenn,
says alarming reports were received from
Coal Creek late tonight. A man who
came in on a late tram SAYS the miners to
the number of 1000 are assembling on a
mountain overlooking the soldiers camp
with the view of making an attack. At
1890 the operator in camp telegraphed
There are many miners massing on the
mountains and there is some firing by the
pickets. The camp is in much confusion
on account of expecting an attack, but the
men are prepared to hold the fort" At
midnight nothing further had been heard
from the operator. Today was pay day
at Coal Creek and some persons were pre-
dieting trouble. At midnight the wires
were still up and the fact that they have
not been cut Is construed to mean the
movement of the miners was simply a
demonstration to worry the troops.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l6.-DIligent in
quiry at the war department fails to dis
close any warlike preparations oitbe army.
Men are at work on the Notifications
around San Francisco, but this work be-
gun last spring before there were any
suggestions OF war with Chile, for the
comfort of Californians who have been
represented as defenceless. 1t may be
stated on the authority of the ordnance
officers that the Golden Gate Is defended
by some l5-inch guns which though they
are of smooth bores are yet most formula
BILE weapons.
The experiments made at Sandy Hook
with the gums of this size have shown the
powder charge may be largely increased
compared with what is regarded as safe
charges during war. Improvements in
slow-burning powders made this possible,
and now the Is inch smooth bore with a
charge of 100 pounds of powder will
throw a projectile weighing 450 pound a
distance of nearly four miles.
At 200 Yards, the usual naval fighting
distance, this heavy shot will penetrate
ten inches of armor and the Chileant
have as yet no vessels that could with
stand such projectiles. A curious out.
come of the present agitation was a pub
LEGATION of the war department today of a
convention framed as long ago as 1864. to
which the United States and Chile have

The doctrine of a soul of goodness in
things evil" has many and varied NANTES
tations. Even a treacherous memory has
been known to serve it's unhappy possessor
an excellent turn. Here is an anecdote Of
a friend who many years ago travelled
through Colorado and the adjoining coun-
try as salesman for a hardware house. In
many of the newer mining towns the hotels
were rough seeming places, and were
haunted by staggering visitors who ca
reused till midnight.
At one time when Billings had collected
a considerable sum of money he put up at
a hotel, the proprietor of which was q thor
oughly dangerous looking customer. 1t
would be folly, Billings thought, to trust
such a man with ~valuables, and he deter
mined to keep his purse under his pillow.
Many men who looked like desperadoes
were about the place, and the guest was
really in fear of his life. Yet there was
nothing to do but to max the best Of
things, and accordingly he retired to his
room, after instructing the hotel keeper to
call him at 4 o'clock.
When he was called in the morning and
found that he had not been murdered, he
smiled at his fears of the night before
hastily dressed and was soon on his way
to the station. AS he was hurrying along
through the semidarkness two men sud
ueniy jumped Upon MIN anu Threw nlm 70
the ground.
He fought with all his might, till a six
shooter was placed at his head. Then he
yielded. The robbers went through his
pockets quickly, seized his watch, his re-
volver and his satchel and made of
1t was useless to follow them, and he
kept on to The. railway station. He in.
formed the station master of what had oc-
Cured, and at the next town, twenty miles
away, sought out the sheriff and put him
on the tack of the thieves.
The watch and papers were of compare
lively little value. What he cared most
about was the loss of the money. What
pleasure it would be to see hat hote
keeper, who ht felt sure was at the bottom
of the affair, safely behind the barsl
But Just as the officers of the law wert
about setting forth in pursuit of the thieves
Billings received a telegram from the sta
tion agent. 1t read thus:
II have recovered your grip and many
papers found near where the robbery was
committed. have also your pocketbook
containing nearly $500, which wa handed
me by the landlord Of the hotel. You left
1t under you pillow. Will send all by next
train. "-ChicagO Herald.

Another Hew Complication

NEW York, Jan. l6.-The HerdldTs
Valparaiso special says; Definite instruc-
tons were cabled to Minister Montt YES
terday directing the withdrawal of Matta's
offensive note. 1t was presumed this
was done before. but it is now known the
withdrawal was not made. A new compli-
cation arose today in regard to the Balma-
cedist refugees who were permitted to go
aboard the Yorktown. At the last moment
the Chilean government refused
TO guarantee the safety of the
refugees while going from the Yorktown
to the departing steamers or even agree
that the steamers upon which they took
passage would not be searched. Minister
Egan has been tacitly assured by Pereira,
minister of foreign affairs. that those to
whom he had given ASYLUM should be per-
mitted to leave. Acting on these as
surances they purchased tickets and pre-
pared to'sall today. A refusal of the
authorities to guarantee the safety of
their late toes made it unsafe for them to
sail.

Senior Montu TALKS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-In an inter
view today with a Post reporter Seuor
Mont said 1t is reasonable to suppose that
any court of Chile, even though that
court we're acting in what You call star
chamber session." would not tamper with
the testimony which it was to forward
to the American government, knowing the
man was to return to his own country and
give his testimony in person to that gov
eminent.
Bah. l tell you." he continued. ''since
it uarrows down to the question of vera
city between an American sailor and the
court of Chile. it is like a question of
veracity between Justice Brewer OF your
supreme court and a Chilean sailor. An
swer me, which has the most at stake2"
III this is the view you take of it, Senior
Mont" said the reporter. how do you
account for the apparent determination
of the United States to go to war with
Chile2"
II do not. Your press and your poll
tioians are ambitious. perhaps. Epglish
speaking people in Chile are mainly En-
glish subjects. The Americans who have
been i'll treated there are mainly Irish
perhaps, maybe, l cannot say" and he
refused to discuss the subject further.

Somewhat Particular.

A story which is told of the late Charles
Jamrach, the naturalist and dealer in wild
animals who died in England last summer
is so well vouched for that it may be &C,
copied as worthy of belief.
Mr.. Jamrach was married more thar
once, and the story is to the effect that
when a friend condoled with him on the
loss of his second wife the naturalist an
swered, with a heavy sigh:
Eyes, yes. AS you say, she was a good
wife. But" he added, as If he felt com
PEELED to speak the whole truth. "she never
took kindly to the animals. Why, even In
winter she wouldn't let the snakes sleer
under the bed. "-Youth's Companion.
