MARTIAL LAW,
Efforts to Prevent an Outbreak
of the RevolutioniStS in
Barranquilla.
The Governor Invested With Military
Power and the Police
Doubled.

COLON, COLOMBIA, Jan. ia dispatch
from Bogota states that martial law has
been proclaimed in the province of Bar
ranquilla, State of Bolivar. Six hundred
troops are proceeding from the coast up
the Magdalena River to the city of Barran-
quilla. The Governor has been invested
with military power and the police have
been doubled. The Government is vigil
ant and is said to be preparing to put down
any attempt at revolution.
1t is reported here that the Mosquito In
dams, including Chief Hendy, will invite
Chief Clarence to return to the Mosquito
territory.
Chief Clarence was deposed by the Mica
raguans in 1894, and subsequently went to
Jamaica, where it was said he was in re-
ceipt of pension from the British Gov
eminent. Great Britain refused to recog-
nize the new Nicaraguan Government that
was set up at Bluefelds after the deposit
ton of Chief Clarence, and out of this
grew the troubles that resulted in Great
Britain sending a squadron to Corinto to
enforce the payment of the indemnity de-
manded by Great Britain for the expulsion
of the British vice-consul at Bluefields.
Chief Hepdy was appointed as the success
sor of Chief Clarence.

even the outside walls fell out into the
street.
The fire started in the corner building on
the fifth floor through the falling of one OF
seventeen salamanders which were being
used to dry the plastering. Before assist
ance could be called the fire had gotten
beyond control and communicated to the
adjoining building.
Only little furniture was saved from
the wreck. Occupants of buildings for a
block away packed many of their things in
readiness to move out, expecting the fire
to spread.
Holes were burned in the clothing of
many OF the spectators, who came from
every part of the city, being attracted by
the illumination.
The excitement in the second building
which burned amounted almost to a panic,
and rumors were started that many people
had been burned 10 death. Several people
were injured by fire and stray bricks from
falling walls, but no one was fatally hurt.
The horses attached to hook and lad
der truck ran away and dashed into q
crowded street, rolling many people over
into the water-covered streets and bruising
several severely.
The total loss is estimated at $500, O00

GOLD USED TO BEAT QUAY,
Inside History of the Fight in
Pennsylvania Given to the
Public.
Attempt to Bride Chairman Barker
of the Montgomery County
Delegation.

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Jan. 19.-From a
statement made to-day by Thomas H.
Barker of Lower Marion Township, this
county, the fight to overthrow the power
OF Senator Quay last summer by his oppo-
nents in the party was more desperate
than ever appeared.
Mr.. Barker was chairman of the Mont
gomery County delegation to the State con.
vention last summer. The fight between
Quay and his opponents for the State
championship hung in the balance before
the convention, and if it had not been an.
nounced openly that the seven votes OF
Montgomery County would have been cast
against Quay, it might have changed the
result.
1t will be rememb ered that both sides
held a caucus the night before the conven-
ton, and Quay had a majority. Mr.. Bar
ker asserts that before the caucus he was
approached by a Philadelphia, who Of
Tered him $4,000 if he would not 60 into tie
Quay caucus with his delegation. He re-
fused the money, and the offer was in
creased to $4,000, to $4,000 and finally $10,.
COO. When it was found that even this
sum would not bride Mr.. Barker the effort
to make him prove false TO his pledges was
abandoned.
Mr.. Barker asserts the absolute truth oil
TINS story, and says he has corroborative
witnesses to it,

WILL SAIL F0R TURKEY.
Red Cross Society WW Ignore the Warning
of the Sultan Against Aiding
ArmenidHs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 19.-Secre-
tary Olney stated tonight that he had re-
ceiyed no reply as yet to his kilograms of
inquiry to Minister Terrell at Constantine
pie asking whether or not the Sultan had
directed that the Red Cross officials should
not enter his dominions for the purpose of
distributing relief among the Armenians.
In the meantime, Miss Clara Barton, the
president, is busily engaged in perfecting
preparations for the voyage to Turkey,
which she and her associates will under
take despite the report that they will not
be permitted to discharge their charitable
trust. She will leave Washington Tuesday
and go to New York, sailing from that port
a day or two later.

TESTING GUN CARRIAGES.
Drawn Over Road Filled With OBJ
stacles of all Kinds.

Drawn Over Road Filled With OBJ
stacles of all Kinds.
A curious track has recently been con-
structed in an open space near the Artil-
lery Arsenal at Spandau, Germany. This
track has been constructed for the pur-
pose of testing gun carriages, wheels and
springs, used in the Artillery Park, etc.
cable and electric machinery are used
for the propulsion of the various vehicles
drawn over the track. This track is COW
cred in its entire length with obstacles of
all kinds.
1t is built in imitation OF bad roads in
one place, crossed by a ditch at another
and mountainous and difficult roads are
also represented. When a new gun is
mounted on a carriage it is brought to the
end of the track and the cable is fastened
to the pole, where ordinarily the horses
are hitched. The power is turned on and
the officers go alongside to note how the
jolting and passing of difficult places
affects the new carriage. Instead of
making these trials in the mountains at
some distance from the arsenal, the tests
can now be made in front OF the building
with as much, if not better, practical
results.

years of age. Death was caused by heart
clot resulting from a severe attack of
typhoid fever.
Mr.. Gillian was born in Bambury, Ok
Yorkshire, England, on October %, 1856.
His father was foundryman, or, as men
of that craft are called in England, a
furnace man. His mother had decided
artistic ability, although she never cult
waited it save for her own amusement,
When Bernard and his three brothers
were mere children the father decided to
try his fortune in the States, and the
family settled in Brooklyn. After leaving
Brooklyn High School Bernard became a
student in the Office of Brooklyn lawyer,
but one day he drew comical sketch of
his employer and lost his position.
After that Gillian did a little of every
thing for year or two, sketching taking
up most of his time. In 1879, however, a
place on Frank Leslie's Weekly was offered
him. Soon after he made this connection
Mr.. Leslie died, the policy of the paper
changed and Mr.. Gillian went over to the
Graphic. During the Garfield-H hancock
campaign he made cartoons for Harper's
Weekly, working with Thomas Mast. His
work with the Rarpers attracted attention,
and in 1881 Keppler & Schwarzmann of
Puck engaged him at what was said at the
time to be the highest salary ever paid to
a cartoonist.
In 1885, in company with w. J. ArkelI,
he purchased Judge, being convinced that
there was ample room for two papers of
the kind of opposite political faiths.
From the time Messrs. Gillian & Arkell
took hold of Judge the paper was a sue
cess, and Mr.. Gillian, more than any other
man, was responsible for that success.
While the paper had always had corps
of clever cartoonists, Mr.. Gillian directed
the work of all of them and furnished the
ideas of many of their cartoons.
Seven years ago Mr.. Gillian married
Miss Bertelle Arkell, the youngest daugh-
ter of ex-senator James Arkell of Cana 10
harie and the sister of his business part
ner. After his marriage Mr.. Gillian made
his home in Canaioharie.

.COULEE C|TYS TRAGEDY,
Three Boys Sufocated by Smoke
While Asleep in Their
Couches.
Lose Their Lives in a Fire That De-
Stroys Shack in the Outskirts
of the Town.

COULEE CITY. WASH, Jan. ia
small shack situated on the northern
limits of Almira was discovered to be on
fire last night. When neighbors arrived
the fire had gained considerable Roadway.
Henry Taylor, Henry Lewis and a
younger brother were still in the building.
When the citizens had partially subdued
the flames their bodies were discovered,
all three having been suffocated by smoke
while in their beds.
Henry Taylor was son of Isaac Taylor
of Waterville, and was visiting north of
Almira with his brother in-law, John @.
Drinkard. He was attending a meeting at
Almira and stopped with the Lewis boys
for the night. Henry Lewis and his
bro ther we're attending school at Almira
and were boarding themselves. The sup
position is that the boys went home after
the meeting closed, built fire in the stove
and retired. Taylor was IL years of age
and the Lewis boys IA and 16 respectively.

ACTIVITY IN THE
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Continued from First Page.

at any point in this State within thirty
hours, duly armed and equipped for serv-
ice. Nearly all OF the State militia are
within few miles of the railroads, with
the exception of one company at Eureka,
Humboldt county. This company would
take little longer to join the other State
forces, as it would have to come from
Eureka by water.
I'm this vicinity, that is San Francisco,
San Jose, Oakland, Petaluma and Santa
Rosa, there are two regiments of infantry
of twenty companies each. Besides these
there are two naval battalions of 100 men
each, well trained and equipped for SER
vice. In fact, am sure that if the occa-
sion should demand it, we could in thirty
hours furnish the navy with 375 good and
efficient men. The naval battalion at Santa
Cruz could be called out in a very few
hours notice
From San Francisco alone we can raise
twenty-five companies of infantry and cav
airy. Then in the Sacramento Valley
there is one regiment of eight companies
and cavalry company. In the Salinas
there is also a cavalry company. In the
southern part of the State, Los Angeles
and vicinity, there are twelve companies of
infantry, one naval battalion and one cav
airy company, making in all in the State
hfty-seven companies. AS said, these
can be modified at any point in the State
in thirty hours.
There is no doubt that if the ne
cess1ty demanded it we could increase our
National Guard to $4,000 by very little
recruiting. In this State $4,000 men are
subject to drafting and military duty. So
1t is seen that California could put large
force IN the field upon a very short notice
LAS TO the equipage 1 will say that all
our men are well provided with arms and
ammunition. The National Guard has
several companies that are not we'll pro-
vided with blankets and overcoats, but
blankets could be easily obtained, eitheZ
from the Government or private estab-
hshments. 1t would take little longer
to get the overcoats.
"Our arms are all in excellent condition
and the returns from the companies show
a wonderful improvement in marksman-
ship. The cavalry companies are not so
well provided for as the others, having
only revolvers and sabers. They require
carbines.
There is plenty of ammunition in the
State. Besides what the companies have
at their armories we have $1,000
rounds, $1,000 of which is in this City. If
necessary, we could call upon the Govern
ment for additional arms and ammuni-
ton, for the arsenaIs are well stocked with
both, and both could be distributed upon
very short order.
SHOULD there be any occasion for call
ing out the State troops I will say that the
officers and men of the National Guard
will always have the preference over all
others. 1t is only fair that the volunteers
should have the preference over drafted
soldiers"

BROADENING THE
MONROE DOCTRINE
Senators Will Adopt the
Foreign Relations
Report.
ONLY TWO TO OPPOSE.
Sewell and Gray See No Menace
in the Entertainments of
England.
FATE OF THE TARIFF BILL
Jones of Nevada Holds the Key to the
Situation in the Upper
House.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 19.-The re-
port from the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations on the Monroe doctrine
resolutions tomorrow will probably cause
the subject to divide the time with the
Senate free coinage substitute to the House
bond bill, which is still the unfinished
business. The extreme position taken by
the Committee on Resolutions in one d.
rection and those of Sewell of New Jersey
IN the other will give the debate a wide
range. Davis has been instructed by the
committee to urge prompt action on the
resolution, and while it cannot supersede
the financial question as the unfinished
business, it will probably receive much
discussion this week.
Sewell may address the Senate to-mor.
row during the morning hour on his reso-
luton, which declared that the President
has gone too far in his message in enunci-
atlng the Monroe doctrine. The commit
tee resolutions will doubtless be discussed
by Morgan. Sherman, Cullom, Lodge,
Frye, Davis and others in favor, and an
tagonized probably by Gray. 1t is be-
Ieved that the result will be almost unan-
lmous in favor of their adoption, and the
vote may be taken this week.
Teller and Daniels have given notice
that they viii speak this week on the
financial question, and White and CockrelI
may also speak. Additional interest to
the weeks proceedings will be given
should the Finance Committee report the
tariff bill. This will be done, it is under
stood, without another meeting being
held.
The nature of the report will depend
upon the position taken by Jones of Ne
vada. Should he still insist upon increas-
ing the duty on raw sugar an adverse re-
port will be made; should he vote with the
Republicans the bill will be reported as it
came from the House. As soon as Jones
signifies how he desires to vote the bill will
be reported. This may be tomorrow.
In the House of Representatives the pro-
gramme of business for the coming week
is about as follows: The urgency deficiency
bill will be reported by the Committee on
Appropriations Monday, and it is ex-
pected that immediate consideration will
be given it.
Following that the bill making appro-
priations for the military academy for the
| next fiscal year will be taken up. But lit
tie time will be occupied in considering
these and opportunities for action on bills
by unanimous request will be numerous.
1t is expected that next Friday the Com
mittee On Invalid Pensions will invoke
| the rule providing for the light session on
that day to begin the consideration of pri-
vate pension bills
During the week the Committee on
| Ways and Means will have several hear
| ings. On Monday advocates of bill to
establish sub-treasury at Savannah will
be heard and on Wednesday will be he'll d
| the final hearing on the customs admins
trative act.
