Little Credence Given the Rumor that
He is to Head on the Captain Pratt.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25..-From intima-
tions casually let fall to-day at the Navy
Department, it would appear that the
cruiser Philadelphia, which certainly
left Barbados few days ago, did not
proceed southwark, but is now pointing
straight across the Atlantic and will be
heard from next in or near the Straits Of
Gibraltar, her errAnd there being
to look out for the formidable new
Chilian war vessel, the Captain Pratt.
If war is declared with Chilli, and that
country should order the formidable
cruiser home, it is highly probable that
she could be captured or crippled by the
Philadelphia, because she has a green
crew, her heavy guns have not been sup
piled to her, and her machinery has not
been limbered up. When fully equipped
and ready for action she would undoubt-
edly be more than match for vessel
of the Philadelphia type.
Little credence is given Ghis story, al
though it is not officially denied

MRS. WORRELL DENIES.
Says She Never Saw or Had Dealings Wit
DIR. Martin, of San Francisco.


DIR. Martin, of San Francisco.
PROVIDENCE, r. L., Jan. 25-Mrs. E.
S. Worrell has written a letter to the
journal" through her attorney in
which she denies that she ever saw or
had any communication with DR. Mar
tin, who attended Mrs. Barnaby in San
Francisco.
The stories regarding the case which
have come from San Francisco have not
yet been contradicted by Mrs. Worrell,
nor has her statement of what occurred
there appeared in print, the reason being
that those interested in the prosecution
of Dr. Graves thought it best to keep
quiet until the hearing of the application
of Dr. Graves for new trial, as it is
thought that the defense will have the
San Francisco people there.
A dispatch from Denver this morning
says: DIR. Pfeifer, whois attending Mrs.
Graves, says that the lady is rapidly re-
covering. She is up and about and her
mind is becoming stronger daily She
has not yet been told the true state OF
affairs in regard to her husband and will
not for some time.

alienation of her husbands affections

THINKS THERE ARE TWO SIDES.

Ex-senator Henderson, Says the United
States is Not Wholly Right.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Ex Senator
John B. Henderson, of ofMissouri, does not
think our government is wholly in the
right in the Chilian controversy. In
discussing the situation this morning,
particularly with reference to the right
of asylum for refugees, he finds two
sides to it.
"The refugees sent to Callao," he
says "are citizens of Chill, who, being
guilty of crimes under Chilian law,
sought refuge at the house of the United
States Minister, Mr. Patrick Egan, in or
der to escape the punishment due to
those crimes
"Thesc men have not only been shell
tered and protected at the house and at
the Legation of our Minister resident at
Santiago for several months against
the protest of the existing government of
Chill, which we have acknowledged and
with which we claim to be at peace, but
they are now finally removed and peace
ably transported by land from Santiago
to Valparaiso, and there placed on board
a war vessel of the United States, to be
safely transported by the authority of
our government beyond the jurisdiction
of the country whose laws they have vio-
lated.
Il think mycelf that after this much
of humiliation on the part of Chill the
further suggestion that she desires war
must be abandoned.
Suppose that during the late civil
war in this country the English or the
French Minister at Washington had
given shelter and protection to jefferson
Davis, Jacob Thompson, Gen. Early Or
Gen. Beauregard, how long would the
house or the person have been respected

MoRGANTowN, Pa, Jan. 25-The story
that Levi Shirk, the postmaster here,
had been removed because of uncom-
plimentary remarks about Postmaster
General Wanamaker and President Har-

received by the Postmaster General signed
by number of citizens of Morgantown,
which stated that Shirk was about to
remove from the place and requested the
appointment Of Samuel Deischley, an
old soldier, who lost leg in battle. On
this statement and recommendation,
Deischley was several days ago appointed
to succeed Shirk.

Remember that in all TINS maddening
