THAT BL00DTHIRSTY JURYMAN.
Action is Expected on the Part of
DR.. Graves LAWYERS.

DENVER, Jan. 2l.-The lawyers for DIR.
Graves have been informed of the alleged
remark of Juror Querton last summer,
that he would like to get on the jury in
order TO hang DIR. Graves, and are taking
steps to have it investigated The story is
not generally credited, however, because
it has come through so many mouths.
What the juror really said is likely to
have become more or less distorted In
repetition by his boardinghouse keeper to
another boarder, and by the boarder to n
clerk and by the clerk TO nobody knows
how many other people Nevertheless the
tale will be sifted to-day.
Mrs. Graves continues to improve slowly
and will be well enough to visit her hus-
band at Canon City in a few days time.
The day for the beginning of her journey

The night was bitterly cold. The mer-

sharp and cutting wind was blowing.
The firemen suffered terribly. Their
hands were so numbed that they could
scarcely keep their grasp on the hose and
were constantly obliged to let go and seek
shelter. A number had their limbs seri-
ously frozen, while others were literally
encased in a coating of ice from the flying
spray.

|. A petition to Congress has just been for
warded to Representative Page for the re-
sumption of work for the improvement of
this harbor upon the lines laid down by
the late Major Warren.
In the year 1873 n survey of the harbor
was made and an appropriation of 5000
expended rs beginning of the work of
removing distractions and dredging the
channel. Gen. Warren recommended that
for the next year the appropriation be in
creased to 10000, but for some reason the
recommendation was not followed. No
particular sum is asked in the petition,
the prayer being simply that the work be
taken up where IL was then dropped.
The paper bears the endorsement Of the
various corporations and companies at this
port and of many Of the more prominent
residents. Newport parties are also in
terested. Mayor Honey, members OF the
City Council, the collector OF this port and
others expressed themselves as heartily In
favor of the project. Mayor Honey, who
Is in Washington. volunteered TO per-
sonally urge the matter before the Con-

Circumstances have combined against
the advisability of reviving the matter

harbor is said TO be slowly filling up,

PEACE MORE PROBABLE.
The War Talk Is Subsldlng in Wash
ington-
THOUGH NOTHING HAS OCCURRED
To Change the Situation-The Presidents
Message May Go to Congress To-mor-
row-Thcre Have Been No Offers of
Mediation from AISy Nation.

WAsHrNGToN, Jan. 2i.-The general
tendency of current speculation is more
strongly towal the theory of peaceful
settlement, through an abandonment by
the Chilean Government of its attitude of
unconcern and defiance. There is, how
ever, as little ground for the turn toward
the theory of an amicable adjustment as
there was for the extremely warlike senti-
ment earlier in the week. The situation
has been practically unchanged since the
definite announcement bv the President
last Saturday of his intention TO lay the
correspondence before Congress this week.
The stories Of the intervention OF Eng
land and the interference OF Chile's neigh
bors In South America are alike untrue
Chile has shown no disposition, as far as
is officially known, TO make amends for
what she has done, and the United States
has not receded from the firm stand that
has been taken from the outset.
There Is also no authority for the report
that the President has decided to with
hold the correspondence and his accom-
panying message until next week The
message may be sent TO the capitol at al
most any time now. AS early as this in
the long session, IL is the usual custom in
the Senate, and in the House of Represen-
tatives also, to adjourn over from Thurs
day until Monday. If the papers
from the White House do not reach
Congress to-day and either branch takes
the customary recess, the publication of
the correspondence will, of course be de-
layed until next week. But il will be
easy enough for the President, by giving
certain members of Congress n hint of
what is coming. TO secure n session Of
both houses on either Friday or Saturday.

Bland triumphant.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-George Fred
Williams was in bed with the grip yester-
day and the Coinage Committee diverted
itself in his absence by adopting resolu-
tion offered by Mr.. Bartine of Nevada and
reading as follows:
Resolved. That the committee proceed at
once 10 the consideration of the question of
the free coinage of silver, taking House bill
2s00 Uhe Bland free coinage bilD as the basis of
such consideration.
Mr.. Stone Of Pennsylvania moved that a
final vote be taken on the Bland bill three
weeks from date, and the suggestion was
unanimously agreed to. Chairman
Springer OF the ways and means COM
mittee is still claiming that his inter
national monetary congress will be
adopted by a joint caucus of the Senate
and House Democrats before the lst Of
February.
But" says Chairman Bland, Caucus
or no caucus" 1--WE shall go ahead with a
free coinage bill, even If the Springer
proposition should be adopted by both
houses

ere of Christians twenty-five miles from
Pakow, only one man escaped TO tell the
tale of the dastardly deed. He said his
companions were literally roasted to death.

VALPARAISO, Jan. 2l.-It is a deliberate

being used. One of the boats CHANGED to
get near the Yorktown, aud when about
thirty metres away slowed around. That

DANGERS OF ALCOHOL.
1t lncites Man to Crime and Makes Hi
Susceptible to Disease.

It Incites Man to Crime and Makes Him
Susceptible to Disease.
Alcohol is, in an emergency, con-
spicuous factor of danger to the indi-
vidual and to the community. A re-
cent significant recognition of this fact
occurred at Homestead, Pa, at the
critical juncture of the contest be-
tween the Pinkerton men and the
strikers. The local officials were con-
fcssedly powerless to CONTROL and for
the time being the affairs of Home
stead were under the direction of the
leaders of the great strike. Thou.
sands OF wOrkmen were unemployed
and under great excitement. Deadly
shots were fired by the contestants or
both sides. During this great emer-
gency, we are told, the saloons were
ordered closed. When the military as.
sumed command, and the immediate
danger of conflict was lcssened, the
saloon surveillance was relaxed and the
usual drinking of intoxicants began
again.
In Russia the dreaded scourge, chol-
era, is prevalent, and in some localities
with great mortality. The disease has
made its appearance in Paris and vicin-
ity, and the authorities of Spain are
taking great precautions to prevent its
invasion of that country. The expert
ence of our own and other countries in
cholera visitations of former syears has
demonstrated conclusively that those
who use Intoxicating beverages are
much more predisposed than abstain
ers to cholera infection, and that it is
much more likely to prove fatal in such
cases. 1t is true that we are separated
from the present cholera-stricken dis
tricts by thousands of miles of water.
but between the French ports and our
own there are continuous ferries. and
they compass the distance, Interchange
ing passengers and their effects, in
single week. AS ia grippe" developed
in all countries, so also may the chol-
era. The prudent thing to do is TO
avoid the conditions which invite it.
One of these conditions is alcoholic
poisoning. .
1t ought not to he necessary to sug.
gest. to thoughtful, intelligent people at
least. that anything which, in great
emergency, as at Homestead, must lie
prohibited as a ma tier of public safety,
or specially avoi';ed, from prudential
considerations, us in the cholera eri-
demic, ought not to be used at all for
beverage purposes. Neither ought the
state to legalize and protect the making
and vending, for beverage use at any
time, of such IA commodity.-Nation
