THE CHARLESTON'S PERIL.
l Torpedo Came Near Being
Launched at the Cruiser,

Among the passengers by the
steamer Belgic which arrived from
the Orient yesterday were Captain
Carrier, Lieutenat VARGAS and Lieu
tenant Valdamma, the three chief
officers Of the Chilean cruiser Es-
meralda, that was delivered to the
japanese navy a few weeks ago,
says the San Francisco Examiner
of March Gath.
Lieutenant Vargas was the object
of more than ordinary interest to
the Americans who were his fellow
passengers.
On the Belgic he was talking of
the Chilean revolution and he re-
marked that the crew of the United
States cruiser Charleston do not
know how close they were to death
one dark night when he was in COM
mand of the rebel torpedo boat. It
was in the harbor of Valparaiso.
The Charleston had just entered
and near her were lying one or two
vessels of the Chilean navy.
The torpedo boat steamed in
from the sea under cover of the
darkness, and crept up close to the
sleeping fleet. A torpedo was fixed
ready for launching, and the crew
were at their posts ready to fire at
the command. Slowly the rebel
craft crept in, and almost dead
ahead her men made out the dull
lines of a warship. It was picked
out for the target for the torpedo.
A few moments more and the iron
sides of the ship were only few
yards away from the little boat,
with the death dealing missile hang
ing with only a thread to hold it.
Now the ship presented mark
that was impossible to miss, and
the word was passed along from
the lookout to the man at the tube
to fire. By some means the COM
mand was misunderstood and the
man hesitated. That mans hest
tation saved the ship, for the next
instant the man at the lookout sung
out:
Don't fire My God, it's the
Charleston |"
The torpedo never left the tube,
and the little craft sped out to sea
again, but not before she had been
noticed and a shot sent after her
from one of the Chilean ships.

WARREN TALKS OF HIS TRIP
Found the Weather Cold and Was
Glad to Get Back.
Tired of the Style of the Occidental
Hotel and Took Private Lodging.
Judge Kinney Fooled Them.

The recent trip of George Town
send and Charles Warren to San
Francisco was, according to the
stories of the two men, uneventful
and unsatisfactory. In interview
last night Warren said:
''We arrived in San Francisco on
the 18th of last month and were
told by w. A. Kinney, who took US
as witnesses in the schooner VAIL
berg case, that we would probably
have to leave for San Diego on the
same day. In the evening we were
told to wait until the next day.
When this time arrived, Kinney
told us that nothing could be done
in the Wahlberg affair and that we
would return home on the 26th, by
the China. This was most welcome
news to both Townsend and my
self, for the weather was very cold
and We had begun to feel the pangs
of homesickness.
eve put up at the Occidental
hotel for three days after eur arri-
val in San Francisco. Becoming
rather tired of the style of the
place, Townsend and myself talked
the matter over and concluded co
take private lodgings during the
remainder of our stay in the city.
when Kinney left US, which
was on March 18th, he spoke of
going to- Salt Lake City, where he
has some interests. We saw moth
ing of him after that. Two days
later the papers stated that he
was in Vancouver attending to the
cases of the three exiles who
brought suit for heavy damages
against the G. A. S. S. Company.
Townsend and myself felt the
cold keenly as we had no overcoats
and only light suits of clothes.
During our ten days stay in San
Francisco we were continually
thinking of home, and longing for
the warm climate of the islands,"
The story of Townsend is sub
stantially the same as that of
Warren. The two men were to-
gether continually during their So
journ at the Coast. They returned
by the China last Tuesday.

THE COLORED BOYS AND
THE G. o. P.

WHERE, o, where did the colored
man come in, at the G. o. P. city
convention? The Republican con-
ventions are all over, and the can
didates named. Every race, creed,
and nationality are represented on
their ticket, save and except the
colored American. The Irish,
Scotch, English, scandinavian, Jew,
Gentle, and Mormon; all are in it,
but the negro, and he is Gin the
soup" as usual. How long will it
take for the colored people to find
out, that all this talk about Repub-
lican love for the negro is the cold
est kind of hypocrisy. They have
no use for their "brother in black, "
except to get his vote, and do the
dirty work of the party. 1t is GER
tainly about time the colored voters
divided on party lines" The five
hundred colored men of this city
need no longer to hunger and
thirst for office at the hands of the
Republican party, for they are OF
no consequence. The BROAD Az
advises them to be independent
voters, and no longer Click the
hand that smites them" W.
know a number of our race in thi,
city, whoare as well qualified in every
way to fill an Office, as many who
are now running on the Republican
ticket; but of course they are no
available, and they never will be. L
takes greed, gall, and gold to sc
an Office in the G. o. P. and thes,
are things the colored boys of Sal
Lake are short of. Do not for ,
minute think you will get Their
after a while; you have absolutel
no show.

last named gentleman being so
much the superior of the RepubG-
can nominee, that a comparison
cannot be fairly made. The fact
is, the whole ticket, including the
candidates for councilmen, is bigger,
broader, and cleaner than any
named in the city for the past ten
years. The late Republican effort
at a municipal ticket, compares
with this ticket about as q rat
terrier dog compares with a horse.
Judge A. G. Norrell presided with
fairness and frmness, showing him
self to be ali excellent parliamentar-

ian, AS well as a cultured gentleman.
Honest d. c. Dunbar was constitu-
ted the chairman of the campaign
committee, which was an act of
wisdom and judgment. Dave is a
fighter, and the G. o. P. fellows
know it well. With such a magnif-
icent set of candidates, and in the
hands of such astute political
generals, Salt Lake City should
wipe out the Republican majority
of 900, and have 500 votes to
spare. ''This is q Democratic
year." and all the power of priest
or politician cannot change it.

THE DEMOCRATIC CITY
CONVENTION.

The Democratic city convention
which convened last Monday at
headquarters, was a hummer. The
spirit of the members, and the
large audience present, showed that
all felt that, "this is Democratic
year." There was no drum corps"
racket, or cred light" illumination,
but a firm determination to con-
tinue the campaign of reason and
common sense. Everyone present
could feel victory in the atmos-
phere. They realized that Salt
Lake City would soon send greet
ing to the city of Indianapolis. The
best of feeling and harmony pre-
vailed all through the deliberations.
The resolutions are a terrific
arraignment of Republican misrule
in municipal affairs. They appeal
not only to the reason and honesty
of the voters, but to the pockets of
the taxpayers and laboring men of
this city. So to the ticket, we
would simply say, it is superb from
top to bottom. The head of the
ticket, the Hon. Francis Armstrong,
is one of the cleverest and ablest
mayors Salt Lake ever had. A
gentleman of thorough experience
in municipal affairs, honest and
progressive in his ideas, he win
make q model mayor, and the exi-
gencies of the times demand his
election. The residue of the ticket,
including Judge W. w. Gee, for
City Justice, shows the excellent
Judgment of the convention; the
