His pistol was found to-day behind The bed In

ALMOST A MUTiNY.
The Crew of the British Warship
Canada Disconnected.

HALIFAX, Feb. S.-There is trouble
almost amounting to mutiny on the Brit
ism warship Canada, now in the West
Indies. 1t has man Tested itself since the
ship was recommissioned. The matter
has been kept as quiet as possible TO pre-
vent getting into the newspapers. The
admiral visited every ship of the squad
ron on Christmas day and was received on
all the ships in hearty manner by the
men with the single exception of the crew
of the Canada. On board that ship there
were no decorations or anything to indi-
cate the festive season. and on each mess
table was tin of water and a plate of
ships biscuit. The admiral was received
in silence by the men.
On December 26 the royal naval sports
took place and not one of the crew of the
Canada entered any of the contests. IL is
rumored that the admiral has asked the
Admiralty to order the Cadada home.

The best criminal lawyers have been re-
quested to give their opinions as to the

by well-knowu business men.
CADILLAC. Mich. Feb. s. - Parson
Davies was here to-day endeavoring to in
terest local sports and capitalists in the
Corbett-Jackson fight. He wants it held
in an amphltheater built on Big Clam
Lake, outside the jurisdiction of the State,

posed to offer $4,000 for the fight.

INDIGNANT SOUTHERNERs.
Swear They Will Be Avenged Upon
Secretary Carlisle.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-The Posts Wash
ington special says: Up to this morning
there was considerable doubt as to where
Carlisle stood-whether he was willing to
let the Bland bill go through with per-
haps some slight modification, or whether
he wanted it killed outright. Representa-
tive Coombs therefore visited the treasury
personally to ascertain the truth from the
Secretary's own lips.
Carlisle Is understood to have assured
him that it was the desire of the admins
tration to see the bill fail, and. at any
rate, from the moment he made his report
the silver men took fresh spirit and struck
out to kill the bill beyond peradveuture.
The Southern men are very much in
censed at Carlisle for his attitude to
which they attribute all the energy thrown
into the fight by the anti-silver men. They
declare they will be avenged, and if de-
feated in the present struggle they will
pass resolution through both Houses de-
claring that it is the sense of Congress
that the Secretary of the Treasury cannot
lawfully use for current expenses one
dollar brought into the treasury through
the sale of bonds.
