AN AFFRONT.
Chilli Adds Insult to Injury to
the United States.
Refugees On U. S. War Vessel York
town Can Not Be Transferred,
As Chill VIII Arrest Them If Found on Mer-
chant Nessels-Tbe General Situa-
ton Continues to Rc EN-
cecdingly WarliiSc.

WASHINGTON Jan 1S.-Nothing oc-
Cured Sunday to change the situa-
ton in regard TO Chill except the re-
ception of a telegram at the state de-
partment representing that the refu-
gees in the American legation were not
given free passes out of the country, or
protection, but were secretly slipped
out by Minister Egan.
There can be no prevention of hostil
tics between this country and Chilli
now except through a complete back
down on the part of Chill. an apology
and payment of indemnity. This is
not expected. 1t can only come
through resolute instructions and dircc-
tions from England, and it is thought
that even the sordid interests of Eng
land will not further influence the hot
headed Chilians, who, having beaten
Peru, feel they can lick the whole
earth, and have contempt for the
easy-going people of the United States.
There is no doubt upon two facts.
First, that our people do not desire
war with Chill or any other country.
Second, that they will, if war is forced
fense Of the national honor, the national
commercial interests and in the love of
country, and there will be no question
about appropriations The Southerners
have for long time been aching for a
foreign war, so that they might put
themselves shoulder to shoulder with
men OF the north under the common
flag of the country. In this condition
of affairs with Chilli they see their first
opportunity, and they would like very
much to show again the brilliant fight
ing qualities under the stars and stripes
that they exhibited under the stars and
bars.
OF course these matters have nothing
to do with the right and wrong OF the
Chilian matter, and are only introduced
to show the united condition of the
country in regard to foreign questions.
The matter of war with Chill, which
seems now to be inevitable, is not
treated in a light way at the national
capitol.o
The full gravity of the situation is
felt and well considered; but the feel
ing has become almost unanimous that
some overt action should be taken by
this government, and whatever may be
the outcome one thing is certain. that
U. S. naval demonstration will be
made in Chilian waters.

Chili-Secrctary Trncy's Busy Season.
New York, Jan. lG The Hearlds
Washington special says: It would be
little singular If the existing Chilian
complications should result in the an
nullment Of some of the past war leg
islation now on our statute books.
A little more than year
after the surrender at Appomat-
tox congress enacted law which
provided that no person who had served
in the military, naval or civil service of
the confederate states should be ap-
pointed TO any position in the army of
the United States. 1t now appears
that n number OF men who served with
distinction in the confederate army
have volunteered their services to the
government in the event of war with
Chilli
Mr.. Herbert, Of Alabama, himself din
eX-confederate officer, offered u bill in
the house repeating this prohibitive
section. 1t is hardly probable that it
will be favorably acted upon, unless
actual hostilities result In that case
congress would probably pass the bill
with little, If any, delay, in order that
all class of American citizens might be
permitted to enroll themselves in de-
fense Of the national honor.
Secretary Tracy is gradually develop
ing our naval resources. The latest
move in this direction is to arrange for
the cooperation of the two revenue
cutters, the Corwin and the Rush,
in case their services may be need
ed for either offensive or defensive
purposes. Both vessels are now at San
Francisco, where they have gone into
winter quarters. They are, however,
in excellent condition, and might with
little difficulty be fitted out with six
inch and rapid FIRE guns. Their
services would be very useful
in time of war, for both are
speedy, light draught vessels, which
might be utilized in number of ways,
l also learn that orders went forward
that work on the dynamite cruiser We
suvius shall continue without cessation
from this time until she shall be fully
equipped for offensive purposes. The
Vesuvius is now at the New York yard.
She is to be provided as quickly as pos.
sible with a torpedo outfit and full
complement of rapid firing guns in ad.
dition to her dynamite guns. When
this work is finished she will prove to
be dangerous craft, and as such would
be q valuable auxiliary to our fleet in
the South Pacific.

That Is, the Kind That Puts tho Liquid
On the Land.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1G.-The census
bureau has issued bulletin upon the
subject of irrigation in Montana. 1t
is shown that in that state there
are S,7O6 farms that are irrigated
out of total number of 1864.
The total area of land upon which crops
We're raised by irrigation in the census
year ending May 81, 1890, was 800 5S3
acres, in addition to which there were
approximately 271, 900 acres irrigated
for grazing purposes. The average size
of the irrigated farms, or, more strictly,
of irrigated portions of farms on which
crops were raised, is % acres.
The average first cost of water right
is $4.63 per acre and the average cost of
preparing the soil for cultivation, in.
Guiding the purchase price of the land,
is S0.54 per acre. The aver
age present value of the irrigated
land of the state including buildings
etc, is reported as 5000 per acre
showing an apparent profit, less cost of
buildings, of $35. 33 per acre. The av-
erage annual cost of water is ninety
five cents per acre, which, deducted
from the annual value of products per
acre, leaves an average annual return
of Size Of per acre.
In this investigation the census Office
has restricted itself to land on which
crops were actually raised by irrigation
during the year 1889 Farms and stock
ranches irrigated merely for grazing
purposes are not taken into account,
except statement as to their approx.
mate area.

Attacks TWO Helpless NFomcn-An OUT
ragcous Murder mt Oxford, q.
OxFORD, o., Jan. ia horrible
murder occurred Tuesday night, in this
place, which has set the entire com.
munity in frenzy of excitement, The
victim is Mrs. George Horner, one OF
the most highly respected women III
the village.
The deed was committed by Henry
Corbin, colorcd man, who was en-
ployed in the home of Mrs. Horner.
About o'clock. after Mrs Horner and
her daughter Miss Elizabeth, had eaten
their supper Corbin entered the dining
room of the house to eat his sap
per. He locked every door as he en-
tered, and, after scizing large, square
stick of stove-wood which was lying
by the stove in the room, he turned
apon Mrs. Horner with all the savage
ness of brute. He struck her blow
over the head, crushing the skull in
a frightful manner just behind the left
ear.
Mrs. Homer sank back into the
corner of the room, bleeding and uncon-
scious, while the daughter fed up
stairs screaming as she ran. The viii
lain started in pursuit of the young
woman, following her into a bedroom
on the second floor carrying with him
the weapon with which he had attacked
the mother. He seized the young vo-
man also, dealing her frightful blow
on the head. The young woman es-
capped, however, and ran down the
stairs and out into the street, scream
ing for help.
Before help arrived Miss Horner
dropped on the snowy sidewalk uncon-
scious, her clothes almost entirely torn
from her body.
The colored man then made his es-
cape through the forest OF the campus
of Miami university, which is opposite
the Iorner residence.
He is not supposed to have been
drunk at the time he committed the
deed; but he was noticed to have been
acting queerly for a day or two, not
performing his duties with his accus-
toned regularity, and being disposed to
be impolite and surly

Ferrill is only an orphan girl, and is
not'yet out of her teens. She is good

1t is because the girl is poor and is
compelled to work out that certain
dudes of Macomb take especial delight
in tormenting her with coarse jests
concerning her wearing apparel which
certainly is not of the finest, The girl,
who is modest and lady-lille, endured
the taunts rs long as human patience
could, and Friday, when three over
grown young dudes-muscular young
fellows, too-applied offensive remarks
to her, she began to knock them down
in the post Office one by one. AS fast
as the men got up she knocked them
down again, while the crowd in the
post Office formed ring and cheered
the girl on.

eyes, fled; but the third. who made a
