No Naval Demonstra ton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - The
navy department is advised of the
departure of the cruiser Minneapo-
lis from Alexandretta for Smyrna.
She will arrive at Smyrna probab-
ly tomorrow. The San Francisco
is already there and the Marble
head is at Mersene, $40 miles dis.
tant. This doubtless gave rise to
the overdrawu reports that the
naval demonstration is about to
occur at Smyrna, as a means OF
forcing the Turkish government to
yield to the demands of the United
States for an indemnity for recent
depredations on missionary prop
erty. Acting Secretary McAdoc
said today that there was no sig
nif1cauce in the movements Of
the ships toward Smyrna. These
movements were not directed from
Washington, but were brought
about by the admiral in command
of the fleet in Turkish waters.

INTERNAL MACHINE.
Found in Mayor swift's Mol and
Loaded to Kill.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Inspector
Stuart, Of the postal service, dis
covered in the postoffice an infer
nal machine directed to Mayor
Swift. 1t was a pipe affair and
contained enough dynamite to kill
a dozen men. The bomb was
plunged into a pail of water, and
after good soaking the dynamite
was removed and the machine was
taken to Mayor Swift, who called
in the reporters and endeavored to
convince them that the pipe had
not been loaded, but was sent to
him by practical joker. This is
the story given out to the local
press, but it is known that the
bomb was loaded to kill, and that
Mayor Swift is fully aware that
his life is now in danger and has
been for at least two weeks. Short
ly before Christmas Mr.. Swift be-
gan receiving anonymous letters,
which called his attention TO the
fate of Carter Harrison, and said
that unless he resigned Immediate
ly he would be killed. These let
ters were evidently written by a
crazy man and greatly alarmed
Mayor Swift and his family. The
matter was reported to Postmaster
Hesing and Inspector Stuart who,
gradually narrowed down the
district in which the letters
were mailed. Had Postmaster
Hesing kept the matter quiet
another day Inspector Stuart
thinks he would have had
the culprit under arrest with
in twenty-four hours. The district
in which the letters were mailed
had been narrowed down closely,
and with a man watching every
mailbox the writer would certain
ly have been captured in a short
time.

RUssIA's RAILROADS.
she Will Connect With the United
States IN Alaska.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. l0.-Dr.
w. L. Hoenock, chief engineer OF
the Irkutsk and Vladivostock d.
vision OF Russia's great railroad,
says that feeders will be built from
the main line, one into Afghanis-
tan, one over the Thibet noun
tains, a third into Beloochistan
and Afghanistan and Persia. This
will bring the Russian road in the
centre Of the Asiatic powers and
right at the doors Of India. "You
will perhaps be interested to know"
said the doctor, "thatsthe Russian
government is building several
merchantmen to ply between
Vladivostock and some port in
Alaska. We are now building
three of them at Vladivostock and
three more are to be built at Cron-
stadt and they will all be finished
within year or so." 1t is not de-
cided which port we will go to.
Perhaps one Will be made, for the
United States Is to build railroad
to some point in North Alaska, and
wherever it makes its terminus
that we shall make our port. "This
is part of a grand strategetic plan,
and 1t is being carried out by an
understanding between the two
countries. The United States will
build line north to Sitka, across
Behring sea islands, as far as
practicable, and from that point
make connection with the ships
Russia is building, making the
journey from Alaska to Vladi-
vostock in "a hours"

Iron Going Down.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The Iron
Age of today says: ain the finished
iron trade prices are still receding,
the contract for about 1900 tons of
elevated work at Chicago being
taken at 2.6S cents, erected. Pitts
burg has taken the material for
the two men-of-war to be built at
Newport News, while eastern
Pennsylvania came out victor on
the material for the two gunbosts
to be built on the Delaware. The
Alabama producers have now re-
Gently reduced prices to basis of

termination to keep the decline in
check by ordering the blowing out
of three furnaces, two of them by

Dallas Chances Good.

DALLAS, Jan. 10.-Dallas' chances
for getting the national convention
of the peoples party are good,
though there are in the field such
strong competition as st. Louis,
Kansas City and Atlanta. Dallas
has the advantage by reason Of the
fact that the trip to Texas offers
more allurements to the delegates
than the three other points can
muster up. Most of the delegates
have seen cities which are in the
main alike, but very few have seen
Texas of which they have
heard so much, and some of the
counties of which are larger than
some of the old states.

Footpads Gre. in Their Work

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 10.-In the
broad glare of an electric light, at
! o'clock in the morning, while Mr..
Joseph Roscira, living at the cor
ner of Jackson and Magazine
streets, was passing the corner Of
Prytania and Calliope streets, he
was seized by a brace Of highway
men, who robbed him of a watch
and chain valued at $85. They
also took so cents, which he had in
his vest pocket. When the men
first approached Roscira, he showed
some resistance, and was struck by
one Of the robbers. Roscira's cries
for help attracted the attention of
Officer j. j. Kerwin, but before he
could reach the scene the highway
men fled, going in the direction of
the river.

Anything to Beat Mckinley

WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.--A good
deal of interesting gossip is afloat
concerning a conference held here
last night, to which ex-senator
Platt, Gen. j. s. Clarkson, ex-Gov-
William Pitt Kellogg, Louisiana,
and Hon. Chauncey /. Filley, of
Missouri, were parties. Joseph
Manley, the head and front of the
Reed organization, was in town,
but he says that he was not in the
conference. X 'llogg is, however,
Reed supporter, while Cisrkson
is for Allison, Filley for Mckinley,
and Plat for Morton. While Filley
is counted as a coed friend of Nc
Kinley, it is thought that there
was strong effort on the part Of
the other parties to the conference
to arrange contest Of the field
against Ohio's candidate. No con-
clusion was reached and no plan
of action was determined upon,
although the conference lasted nm
til about 2 o'clock this morning.

North Texas Farmers o K

FORT WORTH, Jan. l0.-The
farmers of North Texas report their
wheat in fine condition. They
have plenty of hogs for sale, but as
the local market Is only paying
from to 81 cents, they refuse to
sell. There is enough corn in the
country to run two years. 1t is
only bringing % and % cents in
the ear. Cotton is a thing Of the
past. Texas planters have done SO
well raising small crop Of cotton
and a great grain aud hog crop,
that they will again plant little
cotton this year.

WANT TROOPS WITHDRAWN.
Livingston, of Georgia, Presents
Motion to Step on the Lions's
Tail-Cause for It.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-In the
house yesterday Mr.. Livingston,
democratic, of Georgia, read the
following resolution:
Be it resolved. by the house of
representative, the senate concur
ring, that the president of the
United States in hereby requested
to forthwith ascertain whether
Great Britain is advancing her
outposts on the territory in dis
pute between her colony OF British
Guiana and the republic of Vene-
zuela, or is reinforcing posts here
toiore established, with troops,
police or ordnance and should the
president become cognizaut OF the
fact that a British military or
police force is advancing to invade
or reinforce or, since the 18th day
of December last has invaded or
reinforced posts formerly occupied
within said disputed territory, he
demand the immediate withdraw
al of said soldiery and the reduc-
ton of the police force in said ter
ritory to a not greater number
than were occupying the British
outports on the aforesaid 18th of
December, 1895.
Livingston asked the unanimous
consent TO make brief explanation
of the resolution, but Boutelle,
representative OF Maine objected
and the resolution was referred to
the COMMITTEE on foreign affairs.
December 18th is the date the
president sent his Venezuela mes
sage to the house.
LONDON, Jan. 10.-The colonial
Office has published q denial Of the
report which reached here from
Caracas, Venezuela, via New York,
that British troops with cannon,
from Demerara had arrived at
Cuyuni, station at the extreme
limit of the British claims on the
disputed Territory, and the scene
of the Uruan incident.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Vene-
zuelan newspapers OF December
31st, received here today show that
the boundary line dispute, brought
forward prominently by President
Cleveland's message to congress,
continues to be the topic that is at
tracing public attention in that
country. The papers contain ex-
tracts Of the message, reports Of
public meetings approving the
presidents action, and patriotic
and stirring editorials applaud
ing it. The comments breathe
a spirit Of loyalty and show
the feeling of the people on
the subject. Some newspapers
print portraits of Presidents Mon
roe and Cleveland. 1t is pointed
out as singular coincidence that
President Cleveland's message on
the Venezuelan question was sent
to congress on the sixty-fifth ami
versary of the death OF Bolivar.
Secretary Olney also comes in for
a good deal of praise, and kilograms
in the Caracas newspapers from all
over Venezuela commend the atti-
tude of the president and his
secretary of state. There was ire
mendous gathering to express
approval by the citizens at Caracas
on the 18th OF December, at which
10000 persons were present, in
Guiding French, Italian and Span
ish colonlsts. The Spanish colon
lists have offered their services to
the government in the event OF
hostilities with Great Britain. The
disposition OF the people, as ex-
pressed through the press, is to fol-
low the United States in the mat
ter at issue and to wait the report
Of the boundary commission.

SOUTH AFRICAN QUESTION.
HAS DELAG0A BAY BEEN SOLD THE
BRITISH?
The Foreigners Must Surrender To-
day-A Clear Statement of
the Case From the Iron
Chancellor.

LONDON. Jan. lU.-lne mOSU I'M
portant developments is the South
African situation today in the fact
that, in spite of all denials, it is
now believed that there is some
truth in the rumors that Great
Britain has purchased Delagoa bay
from Portugal. If this be the case
an entirely new complexion will
be thrown upon the present situa-
ton, and it may turn out to be the
excuse for the assembly of such a
powerful British fleet as the one
which will be anchored off Port
land Tuesday next.
AS it is understood the govern
ment of France has demanded,
among other things, that Great
Britain shall forego her right to
obtain possession of Delagoa bay,
and as Germany may look upon
this as movewhich will seriously
threaten the future of the Trans
vaal, the situation, if report is
true, will become more critical.
Efforts are now being made to OBJ
tain a confirmation or denial of
the reported purchase of Delagoa
bay by Great Britain.
In the Transvaal itself the Nit
landers of the Rand, numbering
about 10000, more or less, well
armed men, have been given until
6 o'clock this evening to disarm,
and those who do so, except the
leaders of the recent disturbance,
will be pardoned. AS the Nit
landers are surrounded by about
20, 600 we'll armed Beers it may be
presumed that the surrender will
take place before the hour speci-
fed.
A dispatch from Pretoria this
morning says the government OF
the Transvaal announces it is de-
termined to foster mining, and
that those interested in it need not
sacrifice their holdings for the
benefit of the "agitating clique
of the Rand. This dispatch says
that only 10000 Beers are in arms,
but it adds significantly, that they
will not disband until the condi-
tions of surrender of the Nitland-
ers of the Rand have been fully car
ried out.
There does not seem to be any
change in the attitude Of Germany
toward Great Britain in regard to
the Transvaal. The feeling of
backdown is still noticeable in the
German press utterances and great
Importance is attached to an ar
ticle in the Hamburger Nachrich-
ten, which is said to have been
recently inspired by Prince Bis
marck in which it indirectly dis
approves OF the governments at
titude and adds: The duty OF the
government is more to defend the
internal and external peace OF the
country against disturbance than
to promote foreign enterprise.
JOHANNESBURG Jan. 10.-Twen-
ty-two members of the reform
committee, including Col. Rhodes,
brother of Cecil Rhodes, Sir Drum
mond Dunbar, Mr.. Lionel Phillips
and DR.. Sauer, were arrested at
their club last evening on the
charge of high treason and con-
veyed, under escort, to Pretoria.
Perfect quiet prevails here. The
populace is Indifferent and the
Nitlanders are disarming.
