The PapaI Succession.

ROME, Feb. Sit is stated that Pope
Leo has addressed an inquiry to the
members of the cardinals college, both
in Italy ana abroad, asking for their
opinions as to whether the successor to
papacy should be an Italian. The oh
ject of the inquiry is understood to he
to allay the jealousies between Catholic
countries in Europe, each of which is
afraid that a cardinal from the other
may be selected. Until the pope re-
ceives answers from the cardinals abroad
he will not communicate the results TO
the powers. 1T is said, however, that
the Italian cardinals are unanimous for
one Of their own countrymen, and this
practically decides the question.

RIoTOUs PRISONERS.
They Make Things Lively at Bostous
Penal Institution.

BOSTON, Feb. 4.-Fifty policemen were
sent from this city yesterday to suppress
an outbreak among the 800 prisoners at
Deer Island. The cause of the outbreak
arose from q quarrel on the downward
trip of the boat between prisoner and
an officer. The officer called the pris-
oner a "bum," and the prisoner as
saulted him. On the arrival of the boat
at the island, the officer had the pris-
oner placed in solitary confinement. The
incident quickly broke out anew among
the prisoners. and demand was made
that the confined prisoner be released.
This the officers took no notice of, and
pandemonium followed, which was kept
up all night, the prisoners yelling, ours
ing, rafting their tin cups. pounding on
the doors, etc, endeavoring in every
way to make all the noise possible.
Three or four of the noisiest were placed
in close confinement This action only
made the prisoners worse.
When the men were let out into the
yard they Immediately began to gather
such weapons as they could find and
made an attack on the workshop to pro-
cure knives and other weapons. The
shops were locked up, and the rioters,
unable to force the doors, smashed the
windows. Such well behaved prisoners
as attempted to go to work We're pounced
upon by the mob and pounded with
sticks and stones
The arrival of reinforcements from
Boston put an end to the riot but for a
time it seemed that bloodshed would be
necessary, as several self constituted
leaders urged desperate resistance. These
turbulent spirits We're soon subdued,
however, and the balance were placed
under restraint. Mayor Matthews is
now at the island, and will make an in
Ycsiigation.

Gently sent out announcing that although
a certain man had recently been elected
president of the lottery concern, he had
not severed his connection with an ice
company, and all letters should be ad-
dressed to him as before. The postal au-
thorities arrested Joseph Mueller, pub
fisher of German paper in this state, at
Mayville, and General Bragg was re-
tanned to defend him. The evidence
was that the advertisement was received
from an advertising agency. and that
Mueller had no direct dealings with the
lottery. The jury rendered verdict in
favor of The editor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-The steamer
China brings advices giving details of
the revolt and its suppression i'll Man
churia, China. The rebels, it appears,
were mostly bandits, who roam the
country just outside the wall of China.
Last spring they joined forces, and en-
tered upon a regular plan OF campaign
Of plunder. They were all well armed,
and being, as stated, mainly composed
of prescribed Chinese criminals, they
fought desperately whenever pitted
against the Chinese troops, and for a
long time always defeated their adver-
saries. Some of the large bands were
led by Buddhist priests. There is no
doubt but that the most horrible atroci-
ties were perpetrated by the wandering
desperadoes. Eye witnesses state that
almost the entire population of villages
were cruelty nIaltreated.

of letters, We're loaded on two mail carts.

NO NEED OF A NAVY
This Is the Verdict of Ex-senator
John ]. ingalls,,
a MANUFACTURED IMBRoGLIo.r

He Says the Trouble with Chile
Was Brought About by Persons
Interested in Getting Appropria-
tions for USELESS. Unnecessary
and Expensive" Naval Armament.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-t'This whole Chill
can imbroglio is an illustration of the
danger of our having a navy" said ex-
Senator John j. Ingalls, at the Grand
Pacific. "Here the Baltimore was in
the harbor of Valparaiso, where she mad
no business to be. She had a right to
be there, to be sure, and being there our
flag and uniform were entitled to re-
spect. but she had no business there.
Her siilors went on shore and got into
an alteration. Had they and their ship
been where they ought to han been, in
the harbor of San Francisco New ork,
Boston or some other American seaport,
they would not have been hurt. But
the officials wanted to make a show of
action, and they sent the Baltimore to
Valparaiso, where she had no business,
as they sent the rest of the feet to other
places where they have no business.
Acknowledgement Imbrogiio."
"The suppositious trouble with Chile
was manufactured by people who have
ulTGcI interest IN securing DlP ap-
preparation from congress to build an
expensive, useless, unnecessary navy.
1t was the annual war scare
which is gotten up by the same people
just about the beginning of every con-
gress. The scare is always based on
some triiling incident in itself of no
consequence and out of the question as
casus belli. One year it was the Behring
sea dispute, and we We're sure to have
war with Great Britain. Then it was
the Malta lynching at New Orleans, that
was 10 involve us with Italy. Before
that we had some discussions with
Spain. Now watch the course of events
ana see if congress is not asked to APP
propriate forty or fifty millions for a
navy"
DO we not need a navy?"
'No, sir. A navy will only get MS
into trouble. just as the Baltimore did.
There is no necessity for this country
sending a lot of warships staggering
around the earth saying the United
States must be respected The United
States is respected without any bullying
of that sort"
