- Minor Mention.
Washington, Jan. : 17. Secretary
Tracy tonight made public the following
dispatch from Commander Evans, of the
Yorktown now at Valparaiso, in regard
to the Balmacedist refugees aboard that
vessel: " ...
The American minister informs me
the Chilian minister of foreign" affairs
has changed his mind about the refugees
now on the Yorktown md they may be
taken off any merchant vessel touching
at the Chilian ports by local authorities.
Arrangements had bqen made for all of
them to sail today, but this' change-on
the part of the Chilian minister of
foreign affairs compels me to keep them,
which crowds me very much. Shall I
land them at Callao or. Molendo, Peru?
No steamers from here go direct to
neutral territory. This unexpected act
of the Chilian minister is due, he states,
in part to my saluting the Spanish min
ister when he came on board to deliver
two refugees. I have requested the
American minister to say to the minister
of foreign affairs that I am responsible
to my own government and hot to that
of Chili in such matters, and I consider
his criticisms offensive, and will not
accept it. His action seems unworthy
of a representative of any government.
The action on the part of Pereriea, the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs, in de
ciding that the refugees might be taken
out of any merchant vessel touching at
any Chilian port by local authorities,
was a great surprise to the officials in
Washington. They were lead to believe
from the fact that the refugees were al
lowed aboard the Yorktown without
molestation, they would be permitted to
leave the country without further, hind
rance. Notwithstanding this setback to
their departure, there is no doubt they
will be able to get to neutral territory,
if the navy department can bring about
such a result. " Secrtary Tracy said , to
night he will send a reply to Commander
Evans tomorrow, instructing him what
to do in the matter. He will ,' probably
order, the refugees taken to some place in
neutral territory by the Yorktown
There is no ground for offense to the
Chilian . government in the action of
Evans, saluting the Spanish minester
when tlie latter came aboard to deliver
two refugees who have been under bis
care. " The naval regulation require com
manders to extend courtesy to visiting
dignitaries. ' -
Senator Algers' View of the Situation.
Detroit, Jan, 17; General Alger, in
an interview here today, said :
"There is a good deal of Chilian war
talk in Washington and . war may be
the outcome of the present situation.
The army and navy naturally . favor it
and their influence is felt. War p'repar
ations always excite and . enthuse the
masses too, and ' a war policy is apt
to be temporally popular on that ac
count. But it seems to me it would be
prudent and proper to send '-. a com mis
sion to Chili, previous to a determina
tion to begin hostilities with the view of
thus securing ample reparation and
avoiding an appeal -to arms, which
would sacrifice not less than 10,000 lives
and cost $300,000,000. If the commis
sion failed war would be inevitable and
I only refer to the appointing of a com
mission as a means of honorably avoiding
hostilities. . There is one good result of
the war scare,' -anyway. .It has con
vinced people of the necessity for a
strong navy.' ",
JACK THE SLASHER.
I A Mysterious Assassin Can(ht in Sew
York.
v-Nkw York, Jan. 18. "Jack, , the
Slasher, that mysterious individual,
who since December 29, last, has amused
himself, by cutting the throats, of
drunken men with a razor,' and has been
he terror of night travelers in the Fourth
ward, was captured at an earlv hoar I
this morning red-handed. He inveialed I
his victim, a drunken man, to an un
frequented street and then catching, the
man around the week with one hand,
with the other he dr.ew a. keen razor
across his throat. He then slunk awav.
but an officer, who hacT been watching
him for some time . and who had been
unable to come up in time to save, the
drunken man from injury, gave pursuit,
and with the aid of other officers soon
captured' ' the slasher." Inspector
Byrnes has no doubt that he has the
right man, at whose door also is laid the
death of John Carson, the Baltimore ex
lawyer, and the dangerous wounding of
five other men. The prisoner's name is
Henry G. Dowd. He is well connected,
so far as his family is concerned, but his
habits have long made him a social out
cast, and for two years at least, he has
had no other home than the cheap lodging-houses
on the Bowery. He is about
43 years old, and is believed to be insane.
Dowd's seventh victim is a man named
William Miller, 45 years old, of 328 West
Third street, who was walking along
James street in a drunken condition.
His throat was badly cut, and he was
taken to the . hospital. Dowd was ar
raigned this morning in a police court,
and was from there remanded to the
care of Inspector Byrnes. -
The following is a list of the victims
of the man who has been dubbed by the
police as "Jack the Slasher" : '
John Hefin, of N6. 148 East Eighteenth
street, cut by some person unknown, the
night of December 29th last (this was
the first case) y Louis Law son, of No. 5
Albany street, throat cut January 8;
John Clark, of Elizabeth, N. J., throat
cut January 9;.-George Williams, of
Brooktyn, throat cut and slashed Janu
ary 11 ; Edward Christianson, a Swede,
throat slashed January 12; John Carson,
throat cut from ear to ear, found dead
January 15.
'. After the preliminary examination of
the prisoner he was taken to the Bellvue
hospital where Clark, the man who was
cut January 9 was being treated for the
injury Inflicted by the slasher. Clark
positively identified Dowd as the man
wnuassauitea mm. wiien uowd was
taken back to police headquarters he
made' a confession of his crimes,' or some
of them. He said the impulse to kill
was incontrolable. He said be wanted
to kill all the Dutchmen because a Ger
man had once ravished his mother at
her home in Brooklyn. "Why did you
kill Carson, he wasn't a German?" the
inspector asked. "I could not help it,"
was the reply. Then seeing his error,
he quickly corrected himself saying he
did not kill Carson. Dowd s room was
searched and' blood-stained clothing
found. His shirt sleeves were also full
of blood stains.
Henry G. Dowd, "the slasher," is an
Englishman by birth, and is one of the
children of Patrick M. Dowd, the civil
engineer, who was engaged in laying out
Central Park. He is well connected on
his mother's side, his mother's sister
having married Samuel N. Hoyt, a son
of the late Jesse Hoyt, the famous mil
lionaire, whose will was vigorously con
tested by his daughter, Mary Irene
Hoyt. All who know the prisoner say
they have always considered him insane.
ana it is saia mat uowa was once con
fined in an asylum, from which he
caped. . . .
THE DEAD CARDINAL.
Fully Fifty Thousand People View the
Dead Frelaten Remains.
London', Jan. 17. Nat less than 50,
000 persons visited today the bodv of
Cardinal Manning, lying in state in .the
Chppel le Ardeme in the cardinals house
at Westminster. Most of the visitors
were working people, and many of them
testified, by their affections for the de
parted prelate, , an affection apparently
which had nothing to do with - religion
as it was evident that the iarge majority
had come irrespective of religious faith
Among the visitors were leaders of nearly
every trade organization in London
and they could be ' heard expressing in
earnest tones their appreciation of the
dead cardinal's services to the cause of
labor. Chief Eabbi Nahan M. Adler
alluded to his services Saturday to the
breadth and humanity of Cardinal Man
ning's mind and especially to his cordial
support of the effort to obtain ameliora
tlon of the condition of the persecuted
Hebrews of Russia. la most of the
churches and chapels there was some
mention ot toe cardinal, as well as of
the duke. - . ' :.
The . decision ; of the state board to
make the state levy from the assessment
roll9 as revised by the state board of
equalization will meet with the approval
of . the people. To have ignored the
work of the board through a mere tech'
nicality would have placed our taxation
laws in still more inextricable confusion
than they are. If Portland is aggrieved
she knows her remedy .
CHILI GETTINC READY.
Unofficial Reports State that Chili is still

k SHORT . CABINET MEETING.
The Chilian Question was the Subject
of Discussion.

Case of Tronbe The Tennessee
Miners Out Again.
Washington-, Jan. 17. It cannot be
learned that any communications have
passed this morning between the state
aepartment ana minister .gan, nor was
the Chilian minister at the department.
Several senators .and representatives
called upou Secretary Blaine in the fore
noon, une oi tne lorruer saia mat ne
had ' heard nothing direetl'y from the
secretary relating to Chili, but he knew
this country should now assert its dig- '
nity and spank the bumptnous little.
South American republic.
The reported preparations of the Chil
ian government for war, though lacking
official confirmation in all the details,-
are viewed with deep concern at the
navy department. The reported dis
patching of a fleet of three cruisers and
tornedo boats from Valuaraiso under'
sealed orders, which are reported from
Chili through private sources yesterday, '
is thought to be for the purpose of guard
ing the straits of Magellan, which are
regarded to a certain extent as the gate
way to Chili. A comparatively small
number of well-armed vessels advan- "
tageousiy piacea in tne straits couia, in
the opinion of naval experts, hold that
important passage against a large fleet.
To be isure this would not necessarily
Srevent the ultimate rounding of Cape
orn by an American squadron bound
tor Uhiu, as two day's steaming almost,
would carry the 8hips' into the Pacific by
an outside route. The theory is, how
ever, that it is the desire of the Chilian
government to afford ample protection
to its important coal supply station at
Port Cabello in the straits. " The capture,
of this station would be a serious blow to
Chili, and might ultimately be the ob
ject of a campaign in southern waters in
case of hostilities. Secretary Tracy was
in his office all morning seeing members
of congress and other callers. The navy
department was in constant, telegraphic
communication with the navy yards and
naval stations in all parts of the country
for Eeveral hours last night. .
. A Short Cabinet Meeting:.
Washington-, Jan. 17. There seems
to be no good foundation for the war
rumors circulated last night. Yester
day's cabinet meeting, instead of being
three hours long, as one of them stated,
lasted but an hour and a quarter, and
was one of the shortest for months past.
Of course it was important, as the t hil
ian matter was under consideration, but
so. far as can. be learned, none of the sen
sational incidents reported occurred.
Both state and navy departments were
in receipts of communications from
Chili this morning, but the officials state
that they contained nothing of unusual
importance. The fact that dispatches
were received, however, is satisfactory
evidence that Minister Egan has not
abandoned his post, as a telegraui to the
London Times led some persons to infer.
.- To be Made Ready for Sea.
Philadelphia, Jan. 17. Orders have
been received at the League Island navy
yard to put in proper condition and get
ready for sea the monitor Montauk,
which has been "laid up in ordinary" in
the Delaware river front since 1883. The
Montauk was built during the civil war,
and served during the latter part of that
struggle in the naval . campaign on the
Mississippi river. She has a single re
volving turret, in which are mounted
two fifteen-inch rifled guns, which are
formidable weapons for use in coast asd
harbor defense. It is understood that as
soon as the Montauk's machinery has
been connected and made ready for
operation, similar workwill be done on
the Nahant and Jason. '" ' -'
' The Situation In Tennessee.
Knoxvillk, Tenn Jan. '16. Alarm
ing reports were received from Coal
Creek late tonight. A man in on, a
late train says miners to the number of
2000 are assembling on the mountain
overlooking the soldiers' camp with a
view of making an attack. At 11 :30 the
operator in the camp telegraphed thab
many miners were massing on the
mountains and some were forming pick
ets. The camp j9 in, much contusion,
exp cting an attack, but the men are
prepared to hold the fort. At midnight
nothing further was heard. , '
