The Question OF Annexation Discussed BE-
fore the House Committee.

The House Committee on Counties. Cities
and Towns met in the hall of the House OF
Delegates yesterday with Chairman John N.
Hudgin IF Caroline as the presiding oiheer.
The matter taken in consideration was the
bill introduced by Mr.. Munford, providing
for the annexation by the city Of Richmond
of the part Of zee District bounded by broau
street. Iombardy street, Grove road ana the
Boulevard. 80
zMr. Munford. the patron of the bill. mace
the first statement. and also suDmltted 1he
Annexation bill Endorsed by the 1lly OodH-
ell. which he made the basis Of his remarks.
He practically repeated the arguments made
before in favor of the measure and already
published in the columns OF HE LINES
lie added that l1enrlcO county was
in very prosperous financial conulti1n
and had no debt, but surplus IN inc
treasury. The chief motive WHY he was III
favor of the annexation OF that district was
because it contained IN its centre the lee
monument. and its surroundings would lie
sooner improved il II WAS included III tho CITY
property. There was great need tor add
tiOnal dwellings for the rents tor cOmiOrtaDie
homes we're higher in Richmond to-
day than in any other city OF us
size in this country. The city had already
control over the four streets bordering the
district which II was proposed 10 take ii.
The Chamber Of Commerce was unanimously
in favor If the measure. the college auth0rl-
ties advocated it. and If there was any oolec-
ton nj all. it could only be on the part OF the
property owners to be taken in. and nine
tenth OF them were in favor of the measure.
He also alluded to the fact that Mrs. JET
ferson Davis was in favor OF placing the mon
ument to be- erected IN honor Of President
Davis on the Soldiers Home property, and
this fact should be another inducement III
favor of the annexation OF the district: IN
reference to any feared depopulation OF the
county by the measure he could only say
that the district comprised twenty-elght
voters and sixteen Of them were negroes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-The Herald
Valparaiso special says: Definite instruc-
tions were cabled Minister Montt yester-
day directing the withdraw of Malta s
offensive note. 1t was presumed this
was done before, but now it is known the
withdrawal was not made. New COM
plications arose to-day in regarde to
Balmaceda's refugees, permitted to go
aboard the Yorktown. At the last
moment the Chilian government refused
to guarantee safety to the refugees while
going from the Yorktown to the departing
steamer, or even to agree that the steamers
upon which they took passage were not
to be searched Egan had been tacitly
assured by Perreira, the minister of
foreign affairs, that those to whom be had
given an asylum would be permitted to
leave. Acting on these assurances they
purchased tickets and prepared to sail
to- day. The refusal of the authorities TO
guarantee safety to their late foes. made
1t unsafe for them to sail. In order to
make certain the promise that their flight
would not be prevented, they offered to
take any steamer sailing either north or
south from Valparaiso, but their offer
would not be accepted without guaran-
tee of safety, as they were liable to arrest
or assault by mob. Under the circum-
stances they remained aboard the York
t0aon. Captain Evans has cab!ed to Wash
ington for instructions.

TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 16.-The largest
landslide occurring for years on the
Northern Pacific road came down the
bluffside at Eagle Gorce last evening
about z o'clock. The slide completely
buried large steam shovel, worth $4,000,
and the main line fer distance of 800
feet. Engineer j. M. Dixon and Division
Engineer Bihler said this morning that
1t will take his force five days to dig out
the shovel and ascertain the damage
done. The force at Eagle Gorge numbers
$50 men, who started to dig out the big
shovel to-day. The bluff there rises up
from the Green river to height of over
100 feet. The slide brought down the
entire brow of the bluff, including huge
boulders, stumps and trees. The earth
will be taken away by work trains. A
side track was run around the scene of
the slide at Eagle Gorge, which trains
are using Two dozen men quit work
on and around the steam shovel an hour
before the slide occurred.

Not at all Disturbed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15-The HerdlGs
Valparaiso special says there is decided
improvement in the situation during the
past twenty-four hours. There is now no
more talk. Minister Montt cables from
Washington he has assurances of an early
settlement of the question involved.
Senor Preirera, minister of foreign affairs
has assured Minister EgaD, the Chilian
government will severely punish all
persons who have insulted Americans.
Two roughs who stoned the occupants of
the Yorktown's gig week ago, have
been arrested, and an early conviction
and sentence may be expected. Not
wlthstanding the reports sent from Wash
ington that PreFldenc Harrison is urging
an immediate reply to the demand made
upon Chill 10y the United States, have
been told by representative of the
Chilian government that no specific re.
qui,ements have been forwarded to San.
tiago. Up to this time only general
proposals have been made and the Gillian
government is now awaiting the delivery
OF the express terms of the demands
which the United States government will
make upon It, 1t is not expected here
that the demands will be made until
after the entire evidence concerning the
Baltimore affairs have been received at
Washington. I am told, on official au
thorltY, the Chilian minister at Washing
ton has been instructed to act IN most
concilIatory manner United States

VIII not Long be Beloved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15-The president
to-day concluded his examination of the
diplomatic correspondence in the Chilian
controversy and sent the documents back
to the state department. At the cabinet
meeting to-day he announced this, and
indicated that the next step in the case
would not long be delayed The whole
matter was discussed informally, but no
action was taken, as there is nothing to
be done until the correspondence is pub
lished. 1t is ascertained the president
will accompany the transmission of the
CORES pOndence by message on tie sub
ject that will advance certain propositions
that will define the attitude of the ad-
ministration in very positive manner.
The expectation is he will have the mes
sage ready so that it can be submitted to
the cabinet at Its meeting Tuesday after
noon or more probably Wednesday
morning. The government investigation
into the attack upon the Baltim0re's
sailors conducted at San Francisco,
having come to an end, there is no reason
why the facts thus far elected, which
would seem to greatly strengthen the
governments case should not be lncor-
porated in the document sent 20 congress,
especially as portions of the testimony
haye been mailed to Washington from
day to day, and the last batch of evidence
should be here IN very few days.

Again in Prison

BUTTE, Jan. 16.-Four of the county
jail prisoners, who escaped on the 9th
icst., have been recaptured. They are:
]. B. Smith, the negro wanted for assault
to kill; Stafford and Sparks, two of the
safe burglars, and G. G. Price, the mur-
derer of Cunningham. Ever since they
escaped search has been kept up for
them. Smith was caught in cabin in
the southeast part of the city. A woman.
who lived near the colony, gave the police
the tip. He was caught in bed and made
no resistance. Stafford and Sparks were
betrayed by ''hop fiend," in the cellar
of whose house they were secreted.
Price was found In the attic of the
Miners Union hall. He was undoubted-
iy placed there by a member of the
union, though, of course, to the majority
of the members 1t was unknown. 1t will
have a disastrous effect ON the unio1,
whose members are all smirched by the
discovery. II will undoubtedly take
some means to exculpate itself.

Garza Still Under Cover.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE
Garza troubles have apparently subsided
SO far as open hostilities are concerned,
but there is still widespread distrust all
along tht border that the willy revolution
lists may bob up again at any time and
the troops remain in the field. So far es
CARA is concerned, there is no reliable
Information as to bis whereabouts or
plans, but this Is no indication that be
has given up the movement or is without
sympathizers or supporters. The report
that he Is In the vicinity of Eagle Pass
with a considerable following appears
without foundation. While the move
ment was believed from the first by the
Mexican authorities to be unimportant,
it has no less operated to the detriment
of Mexico from business standpoint, if
not politically.

Awful Train Wreck.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15.-The second
section OF No. 9, with the Andrews opera
company on board, left West Superior at
midnight for Grande Forks. Near
JonesviIle the train struck broken rail,
the engine and baggage car passing over
in safety, but the sleeping car was de
rallied. 1t toppled over, breaking loose
from the train, and went down an EN-
bankment five feet high, lying on the
side Soon the the windows we're broken
to Iberate those inside. The flames shot
out, and in very short order the car was
enveloped. The trainmen soon liberated
those unable to extricate themselves, but
none were able to save their clothes, and
the night being tine coldest of the season,
the thermometer reaching 46 beolw, the
sufferings of the injured were terrible.
At this time it was discovered that Mrs.
Edward Andrews and Lille were missing.
but no human efforts could render them
assistance, as the car was mass of
flames. They were burned to death.
The injured were placed in a baggage
car and brought to Bralnerj and quar-
tered at the Arlington hotel.
Florence Joy was severely burned on
the back and head, and will probably
die; May Douglass, Miss Letitla French,
Mrs. L F Barker, Miss Marie Roe, George
Andrews, Miss Ella Harris, ] G Taylor,
H Allen, Fred Allen, Miss Joshearer aud
L + Barker were injured more or LEGS
Miss Douglass, when she was brought
from the car, was literally developed in
flames. She will probably recover. The
women were nearly nude, but were
wrapped up as they were taken out. The
bodies of the two woman burned to death
were charred beyond all recognition; the
heads, legs aud arms were entirely gone. |
Ed Andrews rescued his little baby and |
and supposed his wife was safe. He is
wild with grief. Members of the COM
pany lost all their possessions except their
sage clothes.

means empty seats at all the theaters.
Preparations for the funeral of the duke
are beng made, but all the details are
not arranged. 1t Is announced positively
the interment will take place at noon
Wednesday. The body of the duke Will
be conveyed from Sandringham. and will
arrive at Windsore Castle Tuesday. 1t is
believed the statement regarding the
condition of the queens health is grossly
exaggerated. That she is seriously or at
ali ill is not shown by the arrangements
made for her presence at the funeral
ceremonies.
The body of the duke was removed
from Sandringham TO the parish church
this morning. The Princess of Wales
and Princess Victoria Mary are recover
ing somewhat from the shock of the
dukes death, and are becoming more re-
signed. The body will be taken to
London, and then to Windsor There
will be public and semi military pro-
cession through London from one rail
road station to The other. The body will
be received at Windsor with military
honors and be guarded to the castle by
sqadron of cavalry. Guards will be
detailed to line the route and keep it
clear.

A Mail Drivers Bravery,

Sioux CITY, Iowa, Jan. ia bold
but unsuccessful attempt to rob the
transfer mail wagon was made this morn
ing at $40 IN an alley back of the Sioux
City postoffice building. The remarkable
courage of j. G. Newell, the driver, frus-
trated the designs of the would be
robbers, and they were compelled to seek
safety IN flight, leaving the booty behind.
Newell had made his regular trip to the
Omaha train and received a load of mail
This morning there were six pouches,
some of them very valuable. AS bag
gage wagon box on runners had been
substituted for the regular mail wagon
the mail had been thrown into the back
seat, and Newell sat down upon the
sacks and started for the Office. 1t was
still dark when be drove down the allev
near the rear door of the postoffice
Suddenly four rough-looking men sprang
up to the side of the wagon, and one OF
them thrust a revolver in his face and
ordered him to throw up his hands. An
other robber stood at the head of the
horses while the remaining two began to
take out the pouches. At an opportune
moment Newell grabbed the revolver by
the muzzel and tried to wrest it from his
assailant, but the trigger was pulled and
the ball crashed through the drivers
hand, shattering many of the bones and
causing painful wound. The robber
again cooked the weapon and fired, but
Newell dropped on his face in theIwagon.
Then he began to shout for help. The
highwaymen picked up several pouches
and started to run, but they did not go
far before they became frightened and
dropped their booty. Newell had Oh
served two men suspiciously watching |
him for two days at the railroad station.
and yesterday reported the fact to the
post The police are following the |
clews aud expect to capture the men.
1t is believed that they are amateurs.
Postmaster Kirk has written Superlnten
dent Tracy, of this division, giving the
details of the robbery, and asking that
Newelrs bravery be given official re-
cognition.

TOPEKA, Jan. 17.-The resignation of
Judge BotkIn will result in restoring
peace in Seward and Stevens counties,
but Botkin will not resign. He says he
has never shown the white feather and
will continue to abstain from doing so if
he has to carry an arsenal around with

with him to resign and he agreed, as a
compromise, to absent himself from the
district for time, allowing the bar to
select judge pro tenn.
