ly in the Itata incident. Capt. George
G. Remey is relieved from her COM
mand and granted two months leave of
absence.
The Baltimore is to be commanded by
Capt. William Whitehead, who is at
present on duty at the Boston Navy
Yard. He will have that post on the
18th, and will take command of the YES
sci as soon as he can make the journey
across the continent. Both the Balti-
more and the Charleston are at San
Francisco.
1t was stated at the Navy Department
this morning that these orders had no
bearing upon the CHILEAN episode, as the
relief OF Capts. Schley and Remey is a
matter of rule, those officers having al
ready served more than the
regulation time as commanders
of vessels. Their times ex-
PRED some weeks ago, and it was at
their urgent request that no charges
were made as long IA there was pros
pect Of trouble. Their relief from their
vessels during such period would
have been regarded as rather severe
unless there were some specific reason
for the change.
Capt. Bradford was selected some
weeks ago to succeed Capt. Schley in
command of the Baltimore, but his
death at Portsmouth, N. H., recently,
made it necessary to select another Of
ticer for that duty.

Advice to British Manufacturers

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Standard COM
ments upon letter in which the writer
advises British manufacturers not to
send exhibits to the Chicago Columbian
exhibition, and denounces the exhibit
ton as palpabe trap of the United
States which, while shutting out En-
glish goods by the imposition of from so
to 200 per cent, designs to gather col
lection of the best products of every
market with a view TO pirating them.
The paper in its comments says:
Americans are no less shrewd than
the people of other nations, and they
will doubtless profit by any chance Of
fered, but is more probable that the
projected Worlds Fair is purely due to
a spirit of rivalry. 1t comes i'll from us
to denounce the appropriation of for
eigners' ideas, taste or skill. Those
who recollect how barbarous things
were in England before the French,
Germans and Orientals showed us bet
ter way in 1851, do not echo such cry
for shame'S sake"

NEW WATERWAYS ADVOCATED.
Demands of the Evansville, Ind, COnven-

Demands of the Evansville, Ind, Conven-
ton Before the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 5.-The
House committee on rivers and harbors
gave hearing this morning to dele
cation from the Western waterways
convention held in Evansville, Ind,
last October, to urge upon Con-
gress large appropriations for
the improvement of the Western
rivers. Col. G. w. Shanklin, the first
speaker, explained to the committee
the proceedings of the late convention
in Evansville. The convention, he
said, was held pursuant to the call OF
the executive committee with repre-
sentation from fourteen states, aggre-
eating 800 delegates, to consider the
subject of further and continuous aid
from the general government to such
improvements as have been already be-
gun or that safe and reliable river navl-
cation urgently requires. The conven-
ton, he said, was marked by thoughtful
consideration for the general welfare,
rather than for the promo
ton of special or local IN
terests. The result was the unani-
mons declaration of general policy of
WATERWAYS improvements that Congress
he urged to formulate into a practical
nlan to be reinforced by such appropria-
lions rs may be necessary. The terri.
torv embraced within the boundaries of
the state, said Col. shanklin, whose COM
merce was so largely concerned in Sc
cure and profitable navigation also
included in it's limits half of the popu.-
lation of the Union and practically all
of the fruitful soil and mineral depos-
it's. IS per cent. of the wheat-growing
area of North America and substantial
" all of the tobacco and corn lands and
all OF the cotton plantations.
Col. Shanklin spoke OF the
varied manufactures thaf would
find their way by. water craft to the
worlds markets under a practical sys-
tom of government, and which would
render the Mississippi River and its
tributaries navigable at all seasons Of

irons of Fortune.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 1.-The flight
of Jones Bros, the cotton factors, has
revealed gigantic swindle, and it is
said the absconders have got away with
more than 81 ,00O,o 900. The publica-
ton in tie newspapers of the dis
appearance of all of the members.
OF the firm of Jones Bros. & Co., as we'll
as the book-keeper, loosened many
tongues. 1t is evident now that it was
premeditated and that they have been
preparing for it for some tine. They
have been buying low grade cotton,
some of it known rs "dog tail, and en-
tirely unfit for the spinner's export
trade. 1t was shipped to New Or
leans. A few weeks ago the Jones
brothers, and Mr.. Fleet, special partner,
went to New Orleans, chartered two
vessels for the straits of Gibraltar
and another, and loaded them with
$4,000 bales of cotton, billed as good
middling If low middling had been
sent they would have cleared SIS bale
on the lot, but they bought worse than
low middling in many cases, and the
whole profit will foot up $40, 900 on this
transaction.
At one time they were the most ex-
tensive cotton buyers in the Mississippi
Valley, and their purchases ranged from
$4,000 to 100 O0O bales a season. To-day
they are supposed to be somewhere in
Mexico, preparing to enjoy fortune

in the New Orleans Prison.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 5.--Mrs. Lucy
Fitzsimmons, who is undergoing sem
tence in the penitentiary as an access
sorry to the murder of Detective Gilkin-
son, was notified early this morning of
her husbands death by his own hands
in the parish prison at New Orleans.
The sad news was told to her as gently
as possible by Warden Wright, and
was received with demonstrations
of violent grief When she finally
became composed she asked for the
particulars of the last act in the sensa-
tional career of her husband. After the
warden's departure she said Fitzsim-
mons had declared that he would never
come back to Pittsburg alive. Mrs.
Fltzsimmons is quite i'll, and was re-
moved to the female hospital. She is
subject to epileptic fits, and considera-
BILE fear is entertained as to her condi-
ton. The news of the suicide caused
great excitement here, particularly in
police circles.
Later Mrs. Fitzsimmons became more
reconciled and said she was thankful to
the Lord that the trials of her husband
we're at an end. She said he left will
in which he directed that his body
should be embalmed and sent to Brock
vile, Ont, his fathers home. She says
his property was left to Mrs. Fltzsim-
mons and at her death was to go to their
little daughter.

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The order issued by
Prince George of Saxony as inspector
general of the German army and COM
mander of the Twelfth Army Corps,
calling upon the officers of that
corps to stop the inhuman treatment
practiced upon the privates by non
commissioned officers, is very likely to
result in the amelioration of the condi
ton of the privates of the whole army,
and to free them from the
brutal tyranny of low-grade of
ficers. The matter was discussed
to-day by the budget committee of
the Reichstag, and it was resolved to
favor greater publicity in the proceed
ings of military tribunals and the pun
ishment ordered by those courts.
Tie committee also resolved to ia
vor measure that would afford
the soldiers greater facilities for
revealing their grievances. The lead
ers of the Freisinnige party introduced
resolution to completely reorganize
the military penal system, but this was
rejected bv the committee.
