THE CHILIAN BOMB,
President Harrison, 1t is Said, Will
Soon Explode it in Congress-.

President Harrison, 1t is Said, Will
Soon Explode it in Congress.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Reliable in
formation received tonight that Presi-
dent Harrison will explode the Chilian
bomb i'll Congress not later than Tues
day of next week and that in laying
before congress the correspondence and
testimony he will urge that perempt-
ory demand be made on Chilli for a
money indemnity and ample apology.
Teat this will mean war is the general
sentiment. Congressman, Dockery, of
Missouri, created considerable excite
ment tonight by declaring that war was
inevitable, and that the Democratic
congress would promptly vote supplies
for such a war. The most interesting
feature Of this situation is it's effect on
the coming campaign.
Harrison's friends say that he has
taken the matter out of Blaine's hands
and that the vigorous foreign policy
of the great twister of the British lion s
tail is at last shown up in its true
emptiness.
A war during campaign and par
ticularly if the war is waged aggressive
ly and successfully, must inevitably in
ure to the benefit of the administration
and this fact may color the course OF
the house in voting war supplies.
The eastern press is growing indig.
nant over the supineness of the govern.
mept at theChi]ian insult and any hes.
itation by congress at this time, after
the executive recommendation will be
branded as unpatriotic, so it is the YER
dict that the supplies will be promptly
voted.

DUKE CLARENCE DEAD.
The Heir TO the Throne of ENGLAND
Passes Away.
INFLUENZA THE CAUSE.

LONDON, Jan. 14.-The Duke of
Clarence and Avondale died at 9 clock
this morning. The prince was victim
of the prevailing influenza. His illness
was not considered at all serious until
Monday when pneumonia set in. since
which he had been failing. He was
engaged to the Princess Mary Of Teck
and the ceremony was to have taken
place Feb. 81.
Albert Victor, duke of Clarence and
Avondale, is the eldest son Of the
prince and princess of Wales, and heir
presumptive to the British throne. He
was born Jan. 16, 1864. Among the
other titles possessed by him are
knight of the garter, knight of St. Pat
rick. He is also major in the Tenth
huzzars. His place as heir to the
throne after the Prince of Wales would
be taken by Prince George, who was
born June 3, 1865. The latter is the
most popular of the royal family.
A representative of the Associated
Press learned from a member of the
Prince Of Wales household that most
distressing scenes had occurred at the
bedside of the dying prince yesterday
and last night. Since midnight Tues
day Prince Albert Victor was either
delirous or wholly unconscious save
for a few minutes now and then. Dur
ing his lucid intervals, he was most
tender and affectionate to his parents
and others who were at his bedside.
Between and O'Clock last night the
condition Of the sufferer grew so bad
the usual bulletin was delayed as it
was feared that the end would come at
any moment. S0on afterward he be-
came better and toward midnight he
fell to sleep, which while it was dis
turbed was more quiet than usual. AT
o'clock this morning he again became
worse and members of the family who
had withdrawn from the room were
hastily summoned. They all remained
at his bedside until death occurred
The queen is sreported suffering acutely
because of her remembrance that fol
the past five years she opposed the plar
for the union of the dead prince and
princess May of Teck, only giving hel
consent couple of months ago.

FROM ACROSS THE BAY.
Twentieth Day Of the Trial
Of the Big Case.
Rev. Alfred Hummer Succeeds Rev DR.. Ollie
Politics in Alameda-Berkelsy Houses
to Be Numbered.

The twentieth day Of the trial Of the
Oakland waterfront case opened yesterday.
The certificate oil City Clerk Brady, which
was introduced by the plaintiffs last Friday.
was objected to by w. K. Davis for the de-
PENDANTS, and after a long argument the
objection was sustained.
The certificate accompanied what purport-
ed to be copy from the early town records.
and the defendants held that the original
records themselves should be produced.
The court held that the certificate did n OF
show the copy to be a correct one of tho
records, as it simply certified that the copy
was taken from" the records but not that
it was verbatim reproduction.
The plaintf ifs were given permission to
remedy this defect. when they will make
another effort to get the copy" admitted
in evidence.
A little legal wrangle ensued over what
Mr.. Moore termed the ''insinuaton of de-
PENDANTS that the records were not genu-
ine." He expressed his belief that the de-
PENDANTS object was to get the records In
court. in order to make an effort to prove
that they were forgeries.
He stopped at this and called it q charac-
teristie vagary of the defendants.
The defendants. who evidently knew ex-
actly what they were doing. only smiled at
his talk.
The plaintiffs then introduced in evidence
the ordinance OF 1852, by which the water
front was conveyed TO Carpenter.
The defendants objected. The main
grounds were that there is no evidence of
its genuineness.
That the Trustees had no power under
any law to dispose of the water front.
That the Legislature had given 1t In trust
only to the town, and that such trust could
not be delegated 10 Carpenter.
That the trust was only for the purpose
of improving the water front, and not for
the purpose OF selling it.
That there was no evidence that the
Board OF Trustees was regularly organized
or a legal body.
That the granting of such beQuest TO
Carpenter would forever disable the city
from discharsiDg its legal duty Of laying out
wbarves or improving the front, and that
therefore any attempt to convey away the
land was illegal and void
That the attempt was conspiracy with
out definite return TO the city, and therefore
void.
All the afternoon was consumed in argu-
ing the objections, and when court adjourned
the argument was continued till to-day.
Hugh Mcfarland was taken to the Re-
ceiving Hospital yesterday, suffering from a

JOHN R0BINSON'S CIRCUS.
Another Big House Enjoys a Very Clever
Performances.

Another Big House Enjoys Very Clever
Performance.
King Solomon ana his 800 wives together
with the Queen Of Sheba and all her gor-
geous surroundings drew another big crowd
TO see John RObinsOu's circus in Central
Park last night.
The show is really very meritorious one,
and in many respects superior to any SINH
lar entertainment ever seen in this city.
The spectacular opening piece is a novelty
in the circus business, and il is presented
with all the pomp and glitter even the most
ardent admirer of that sort Of thing can
hope for.
The grand ballet and the triumphal march
are pleasing sights, and the management
has been exceedingly fortunate in the selee-
tion of its ballet-dancers.
The serpent. crescent, moorish and palm
girls are all pretty and beautifully CO.'S
tuned, and in the great final terpsichorean
advertisement they give evidence of being
well drilled.
The other numbers on the programme
are assigned to as good LOT of clever artists
as one can find under one canvas anywhere.
John q. Robinson Jr., the principal eques
triaD, is an accomplished and graceful per-
former and Miss Louise de Mott is greatly
admired in her manege act and bareback
riding.
The two champion bareback riders, Will
liam dc Mott and Orrin Hollis, appear at
every performance simultaneously in sep
aTate rings.
The contortion and brother act by the
Lamont Brothers is very clever and Profess
sor M0hn makes hit with his revolving
wheel whenever he appears.
There are many other people on the pro-
gramme who deserve special notice. Among
them Miss Emma Lake, the charming eoues-
trienne, Professor Fitzwilliams, the heavy
weight baancer. and especially the clowns,
William Carroll and the Miacos.
Altogether the circus Is well worth visit
Ing, and it deserves the large patronage it
receives daily

Heretofore it has been one for the Mills
