Handsome Bessie AndersOn's Adven- ture Due to an Attack of
 Fever.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Jan. 16.-Miss Bessie An derson, the belle of Tacoma, escaped from her home last evening while de- lirious, went to the old Tacoma wharf, two miles distant, and jumped off into the bay. John Burns, a longshoreman, heard the splash when she struck the water. He called for help, got a rope and plunged in after herx She had been in the water nearly fifteen minutes when he succeeded in getting a rope about her and rescuing her.
 A strong ebb tide was running, and Miss Anderson, who is an expert swim mer, was padding with her hands out toward the sea when he caught her. Her clothing, together with her pad ding buoyed her up until help arrived; otherwise she would not now be resting easily at the Fannie Paddock Hospital,
 with indications pointing to her speedy recovery.
 Miss Anderson was taken III with fever two weeks ago. Being of a strong constitution. the fever made but slight inroads, except to create in her an un- controllable desire to get out of the house This feature of her illness 1 caused a strict watch to be placed on ! her by her mother and brother. On | \ TlOdy HlSHI the ldIJeT kept VlSll over ] his sister, and more than once had ! hard work to keep her in the house. l Early last evening he was in the draw ] ing-room with her, when, upon the pre- 1 text that she wished to speak to her | mother, she left the room.
 She had no sooner closed the door l than MT. Anderson surmised her pur- l pose, and, hurrying to the door, learned l that she had gone cut. Search was | instituted, but proved unsuccessful
 until, just after he had notified the po- | lice, a telephone message announced ! Miss AndersOn's rescue at Old Tacoma. l She was hurried to the hospital in a l hack. It Is thought she had previously ! determined to go to the sound and l plunge in, probably believing, in her
 delirium, that that was the best way
 to shake off the fever.
 Miss Anderson is a daughter of Gen
 eral Adna Anderson, deceased, a promi-
 nent officer of the Engineering Depart
 ment of the army during the Civil War.

A PETER THE GREAT BOOM"

We are about to witness the out break of a boom on Peter the Great similar to that which has ragged for some years round the person of Napo- leon. Sir Henry Irving, with all the world open to him, has chosen a play on Peter the Great written by his son. With this drama the Lyceum season will open in January. Professor oscar Browning is about to publish a life of the inevitable Peter; and MT. J. M. Grahams historical novel, "The Son of the Czar," published by Harpers, has already attracted considerable at tention, and will certainly be widely read, as it gives a powerful presenta- tion of Russian life at the most crit icaI epoch of Muscovite history. There is something significant in this renais- sance of Peter the Great. The smaller States of Europe are vanishing, one by one, and everything points to eventual collision between the Teuton and the Slav. In the meantime everything that Holy Russia and the anointed person of the Kaiser can do to magnify their respective missions will certainly be mplished.-Harper's Weekly.

STRAINED RELATIONS OF
 CHILE AND ARGENTINA
Recent Diplomatic Disclosures That Tend to
 Increase the Possibilities or Var

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Little surprise is expressed in diplomatic cir cles at the announcement that Argen- tina and Chile are on the verge of war. The friction between the two govern ments has been recently very great. It is known here that the hostile attitude of Argentina toward Chile in 1892, in offering the United States permission to use its territory for warlike purposes against Chile, became known to the Chilean Government only very recently, and the latter, it is said, has excellent information concerning the whole af- fair. The history of the intrigue was told in the Herald of Monday last, and caused something of a sensation among the Latin-American diplomats The Chilean Government is incensed over the disclosures, and 1t is believed when the facts reach the Chilean pub lie the situation may become even more grave.
 Minister Gan, the diplomatic repre- sentative of Chile in Washington. could not be seen tonight, but his son told me that his father had no advices that Chile was preparing to go to war with Argentina, and did not believe the re- port. The State Department has been informed. however, that the relations between Chile and Argentina have been much strained, and no surprise would be felt if war should result

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A special to the Herald from Valley View, Ky, says: Dora Clay was unable to walk to the home of her husband, General Cassius NJ. Clay, yesterday. and, after going a short distance, returned to the home of her sister. Mrs. Mary Kelly, where she remained all night under guard of her brothers, John and Tom. She walked across the fields, nearly a mile, to the home of Squire J. M. Mastin, to-day and, although he refused to let her have a horse yesterday, she again importuned him. The squire, not having heard any more of Clell Richardson. could not resist the pleadings of the girl-wife, who was so anxious to go and see her husband and he loaned her one of his best horses. She told him she would return 1t to- night
 Jim Litterell. one of General Clay's hired men, says Dora arrived at White hall this afternoon in company with her brother. Will Richardson, who had been driven off the place by General Clay and who had been accused by him with try ing to keep Dora away. The general was greatly affected when ne saw his child wife and exclaimed Thank God, they have not killed you"
