Tho Origin of the Mas.lG.

Mastiff is the term applied to a
very large and powerful species of
the canine family, and there is con-
siderable conflict of opinion regard
ing the origin of the word. Some
claim that it is derived from the Ital-
ian mastino or the French mastin,
both of which signify large limbed.
This word, they say, was gradually
corrupted into nasty, a Lincolnshire
expression meaning very large, mus
cular or big, until it gradually as
sumed its present form. Others again
say its true origin is the old German
masten, to fatten, because the mas
tiff lis a large dog and so seems better
fed than any other.
These animals were very highly
priced by the early Romans, who
matched them to fight in the arena
with wild animals 1t is related that
very often two or three mastiffs de-
feated a lion in such combats.-De-

NEW WORKERS DON'T EXPECT WAR

A General Feeling That the Chilean Affair
Will End Amicably.
Holland writes from New York to the Phil
adelphia Press:
There is very little war feeling in this city;
Mr.. Depew, who met at a dinner at the Union
League Club last night number of very influ-
entail men. says that the difficulties with Chile
were the subject Of discussion and that without
exception every man who discussed the matter
expressed hope that the difficulty would be
averted. The clergy also, without exception,
express the most conservative opinions, voiced
best. perhaps. by Prof. Briggs, who says that
the United States must be very sure that it Is
a fundamental and not technical principle
which is at stake, although the professor asserts
that if the national honor is really involved war
is inevitable. unless Chile recognizes the obli-
cations Of international comfy.
The best opinion here is certainly one of re-
g-et that the preliminary correspondence has
not tended to amicable settlement Of the ques-
ton. There is really no war enthusiasm in tho
city. Nothing like jingoism is heard here. On
the other hand, all partisan considerations are
dropped in discussing the matter. and demo-
Gratis and republicans alike assert that if war is
inevitable it must be supported by men of all
parties, because in our relations with the out
side world the people of the United States
should belong to but one party, and that the
national one.
Information has been received here today
which comes pretty direct from the Chilean
minister, and which intimates that he docs not
share the apprehension of such danger. or
course the minister may say one thing in Wash
ington and may communicate to those who have
his confidence in this city something of an en-
tirely different tenor. His friends here GER
tainly believe that he is convinced that the
troubles will be settled without any resort
to force or the appearance of it. And these
friends also intimate that in Mr.. Months inter-
view with Mr.. Blaine on Monday nothing oc-
Cured which led the Chilean minister to change
that opiaion.

Convention Hostile to the Lottery Meets
and dominates Officers.
The anti-lottery republican state convention
Of Louisiana has nominated the following
ticket:
Governor, A. II. Leonard Of Caddo; lieuten-
ant governor, II. Dudley Coleman Of New
Orleans; secretary of state, T. Voisin of St.
John; treasurer, G. B. Darrall of st. Mary;
auditor Chas. A. Fontelieu of Ibteria; attorney
general. Judge John Yoist Of Point Coupee;
superintendent of public education, L. A. Mar
tinelle Of New Orleans.
Mr.. Voisin, the nominee for secretary of
state, is the only colored man on the ticket.
Half a dozen delegates in sympathy with the
Yarmouth faction Withdrew from the conven-
ton amid a storm of derisive cries.
The committee on permanent organization
presented the names of State Senator Thos. A.
Cage of Terrebonne for permanent chairman
and the convention seated him by unanimous
vote. In taking the chair Senator Cage de-
clared the republican party to be the only one
through which the colored race could obtain
perfect recognition of their rights and their
share of that equal domination which was guar
anteed them by the thirteenth. fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments.
The platform pledges answering devotion
to republican principles; favors an honest bal
lot and a fair count; declares it essential to the
continuance of the government that the fif-
teenth amendment should be enforced; de-
nOunces the democratic party, which has MAIN
tanned itself by violence and fraud; protests
against political intimidation and the murders
which have SO long disgraced the state; favors
liberal appropriations for free public schools;
Endorses the present levee system and the sugar
bounty; commends the wise and statesmanlike
administration Of Benjamin Harrison; recon-
mends the delegates from the state to support
the denomination of Harrison; denounces trusts
and monopoly and opposes the Louisiana lot
terry and the revenue amendment and any
scheme that proposes to legalize gambling.
There was considerable applause for the anti
lottery plank.
Resolutions were also adopted reading out of
the republican party any republican who shall
vote for Samuel ID. McEnery, the champion of
white supremacy, or Murphy ]. Foster, candi-
date of the anti-lottery democrats for governor
Ex-Gov Yarmouth was roundly denounced
and the boiling faction Of the republican party
caustically arraigned.
Four delegates to the national convention for
the state-at-large were then selected, the first
name proposed to head the delegation being
ex-Gov. Kellogg, who was unanimously chosen.
The list was then completed by electing Mai.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Some days ago you commented upon an
article Of Gen. H. W. slocum upon the subject
Of pensions. and yesterday you gave a resume
Of an article in the National Tribune in reply
to what Gen. Slocum had said. This is a sub
tect in which the people Of this country are
very much interested. and by turning to the
annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury
Tor the year ending June 80, 1890. some inforlna-
ton can be obtained that perhaps ought to be
put before the people. / find by that report
that up to the 30th of June. 1862. the govern
ment Of the United States had paid $50. SOC, 234
IN pensions and S2l35li. 500 in interest The
government was then engaged in a war which
las had no parallel in history Tor the
number OF men employed and the amount
of money expended 1t required both men
and money for the United States to preserve
the integrity OF the Union The amount of
money was SO vast as to almost pass beyond
ordinary comprehension The resources Of the
richest nation in the world, as this Is were
strained to the utmost SO lar as finances were
concerned The report of the commissioner of
pensions shows that almost 2,5O0O 600 men
were enlisted in the military service of
the government during the four years Of the
Continuance Of that war. Of course the gov
eminent had to borrow It's money and the re-
port Of the Secretary shows that since the
Soth day OF June, 1852. the government has
paid e. 80, 156,O5l Us interest on the money
u required to conduct the great war of
the rebellion 1t also SHOVE that since
that tune it has paid Sl.I7s. s74. O32 in
pensions to the men who put their lives at
stake to save the country. 1t seems that we
have paid within q few hundred thousands
twice as much money TO the men " no put their
money at stake as We have to the men Who put
their lives at stake. Does Gen. Slocum- Who
was himself, as i am informed and believe n
gallant soldier, think that the money which
saved the Union is of more value than the men
who saved II! Is that the opinion of any man
In tais country? II it is, God help the country.

Although there does not seem to be any I'M
usual noise and hustle in the offices Of the War
and Navy Departments in this city. it is not be-
cause plans have not been completed for the
defense Of this city, says the Philadelphia Press.
Maj. Raymond of the United States engineer
corps was seen yesterday by Press reporter
and in reply to questions as to what his Office
was doing to prevent foreign war vessel from
coming up the Delaware river and bombarding
the city said: Il am not at liberty to talk, but
as far as plans for the defense Of the harbor are
concerned they have been prepared for two
years, and all requirements for quick defense
have been considered. Therefore, oil anxiety
on the subject Of the ability of the War De-
partment to cope with "a foreign power success
fully In the Delaware river can be dispelled."
about 1870 miles. While Maj. Raymond refused
to talk on the defense of the harbor it is known
that during the last month extraordinary ar
engagements have been made for the carrying
out OF the plans that have been prepared for a
couple of years. At Wizards Point n. Y, the
government has kept large supply Of tor
pedoes. but during the last few days general
distribution OF these to the different cities has
been made.
DISTRIBUTING ToRPEDoEs
number OF these torpedoes have been re-
ceived here and have been distributed to GER
tain points along the Delaware river, the points
being known only to the War Department
Besides this the government has had two tor
pedo classmates erected between this city and
Wilmington, and in case of an emergency the
material Is at hand to erect several more
further down the river. In these classmates
will be stationed the electrician or men who
Will have control OF the torpcdocs and the dis
charging of them.
The torpedoes which will be placed in the
river will be Of two kirds--onc kind which will
explode when n vessel comes in contact with
them and the other kind which will explode
at the will Of the electrician in the casemate.
Besides this the torpedoes will be of such a
kind that in the event of the passing up of a
vessel of a friendly nation the torpedoes can be
so arranged that no harm will be done in case
one of them Is struck.
