Washington, Dec. 24. The talk of iiossible trouble with Chili, al- thnmrli u-tmltvT unnllieial anil un authorized, has at no time been so gepenl as it is at present among nriuara nf tliA nrmv itnii navv.

The whole forca at the Washington navy yard is at work turning out projectiles, and the n.en are kept at work night and day. General Schoiield has bet n twice summon ed before the cabinet and has given it 83 his opinion that if lO.OUU men are sent out of this country it will be quite possible to till their places in ttie regular army at home by temporary enlistments from the miiitia. A certa n quota of regu lars, equipped for actual service at the army ports, are to be called for from each htato. In case the 10,0li0 men transKUted to Chili should not be enough, it is report ed that the president may call lor 20,0i!0 volunteeis for a year. Add to these facts and rumors the gen eral understanding that the presi dent will insist upon immediate and full reparation by Chili, and and that several of Spreckle.-' steamers in the Australian and Hawaiian trade have been condi tionally chartered, the war talk to current here seems to have mine apparent foundation. coming to a cams. If the statements made by a natal otlicer, who should be in a position to know what is going on in naval circles, are correct, the United States government will tak'? steps in a few day? to bring matters in tl'c Chilian a Hair to a ciisis.

There is some excitement in eoeialcircles over an article printed in the Washington Post, giving the re plies which were received to i-.n adveitisement in the local p i for a lady prominent in socio introduce and chaperone a young woman from the west who has money but no social standing. A large number of replies were re ceived, and though the names and street addresses were omitted in the publication, many ladies w ho made reply are easily identified by the context of their communi cations, and as some of them are really prominent in society, par ticularly in the always proud but often poor ai my and navy circle, the .matter is the subject of no end of gossip. A summary of the re plies teceived 6how that there are scores of society women w illing to take debutantes and put them on the track for a compensation rang ing from $100 to $1000 a month. A Lumber Market for Oregon President Warner Miller, of the Nicaragua Canal Company, says that George M. Pullman has be come a large stockholder in that enterprise. Mr. Pullman was a warm personal fiiend f General Grant, who often talked w ith him of the projected canal. When it was oh the boards that General Grant should be president of the company and General 15 McClellan chief engineer, Mr. Pullman stood ready to buck the enterprise large ly. A writer in the New York Press states that a bige syndicate of gentlemen, with whom General Kmst'll A. Alger is associated in timber land investments on the Pacific coast, is interested through its individual members in the Nicaragua scheme. There can be no doubt that with the Nicaragua canal open, tiie forests of Oregon and Washington would furnish I ii tuner for the Atlantic seaboard cities at a cheaper rati that it can no'v be shipped from Michigan, Maine or Canada. Timber Cutting. Commissioner Caiter, of the general hind ofiice, iias is-utd a torm of permit to be grantei per sons applying to cut timber from public lands, says the Lakeview Examiner. Am jnglhestepulatiofis is one forbidding the cutting of more than fifty percent, of timber of that class growing on an acre. A monthly statement under oath is requested, giving descriptions of the tracts from which the lumber is taken. No trees shall be cut or removed of less than a epecilied mi. nber of inches in diameter, ex cept for a neetled roadway through the timber. The person cutting th timber is required to cut, remove, burn or o'hei wise dispose of the tops and brush of the trees, etc., to prevent forest fiiee, and will be held liable in damages for the spread of tires, attributable lo bis neglect. Freedom of the Press. Somo day the liberty of the press will be as positive as it is to-day theoretical. An evidence of tho new era is plain in the follow ing taken from the Boston Press and Printer : "The supreme court of Michigan has decided that newspapers have a tight to publish reports of court pioceedings, no matter how prejudicial they may be to cases on trial, and that the reading of such reports does not disqualify men to serve as jurors. The decision argues a high degree of intelligence in both judges and jurors in Michigan." Murdered by Her Husband. Albany, N. Y., Dec 24. Mary McElroy was brutally murdeied to-night by Walter Nelson, a no toriously bad character, w hom phc claimed as her husband. Nelson went to the house where Mrs. Mc Ehoy was stopping, and forced his way in. He was armed with a heavy club and compelled the wo man to accompany him. A few minutes after he left, the body of Mrs. McElroy was found in an ad jacent alley. The womau's-head was nearly severed from her body apparently with a razor. Nelson was arrested.

AS BLACK AS NIGHT A Fog That Hangs Like a Pall Over London, MANY I'KOI LE HAVE rUKISH'D Business Paralj zed abd Peoplo Afraid to Vejt are Out Features of the Paen-moLon. London, Dec. 24. The fog that settled dow n over the city Tuesday- last still bangs over it, and every where 'lis as black as ii'ght. Pulpi ness is interrupted and the mtney loss serious, as people will not venture out even to make their Christmas purchases. It is im possible to see more than a few inches in any direction Street an ) rivet trallic are greatly hinder ed. The fog is not only prevalent in Loudon, but it extends over a wide section of country. It is without exception the worst visita tion of the kind that has come to England in years. Fears are en tertained that if the thick weather prevails it will cause many disas ters to shipping, particularly to vessels bound up and down the chaunel. The weather is so bad that- few people ven ure into the streets unler-s they are absolutely compelled to. The saddeet feature oi me mutation is trie great loss oi life caused by persons losing their way and wandering into rivers, canals and ponds. Alieady seven bodies ol unfortunates, w ho have fallen into the river and drowned, have been recovered. Four other men and girls are reporten miss ing, and there is scarcely any doubt that they perished as the others did. A dispatch from Leeds this morning, states that three men w hile walking beside a canal, lost their way in the fog and fell into the water, aud were drowned. Several persons were killed on the railways. It is imps'sible for trains to run on their schedule time. Many trains from suburban points did not reach Ixmdon until two hours after their regular time, liusines: in the city is generally suffering because of the phenomenal density of the fog, and, in some cases, it is entirely suspended. V KE.HAUK.VULE OI EKATION. Two Surgeons Working I'nder the Muzzle of a Gun. New York, Dec. 24. Drs. Louis Hess and Arthur S. Smylie, in Brooklyn, are two physicians who can tell how it feels t perform a difficult surgical operation under the muzzle of a lo uied gun in the hands of a man threa'ening their lives unless their pttient survives tho treatment. Their story wa first made known yesterday during the trial of a civil puit brouirht against Peter Heiss, a saloon keeper, to recover f75 for profes sional services and costs. Dr. Hess was engaged bv Keiss to a'tend his wife on the night of Dec. 2. He was hurriedly sum moned and on arriving found the woman's condition extremely critical. She grew worse and Dr. Hess called in Dr. Smylie for con sultation. They decided that the woman's life coul.l only be saved by a difficult opsratioD, which they immediately begin. Smie one sent word to Ueies that the "octois were mutilating his wife. Reiss, who is a hot-headed Ger man, at once procured a loaded shotgun and stood in a door-way at the foot of ti e bed with the gun at his shoulder, which was pointed directly a the heads ol the physicians. "For God's sake, don't ehcot ; what is the matter?" exclaimed Dr. Hess. ''You are killing my wife," retorted Reiss; "a life for a life; I will have the lives of both of you if she dies." The physicians worked as they never worked before, convinced that the half-crazed husband would keep his word. Their skill stood them in good etead. They were finally able to announce to Reiss that his wife was out of dan irer. The saloon-keeper was con vinced the physicians were telling the truth and low ered the gun, greatly to their relief. Young Mrs. Klalne. New Yokk. Dec. 21. For sev eral davs past the friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Blaine, jr., have been using every exertion to smooth over the domestic troubles of the couple and prevent the divorce suit coming to trial. All these efforts, however, will have to be abandoned, as apparently nothing less tlmn a decree on the ground of abandonment will satis fy Mr. Plame. Ibis tlccision was only arrived at yesterday afternoon when ine persons particularly interested had debated the subject for several hours. A Borax Fountain. Large borax beds which are no attracting attention are situated hixtv-tive miles due east of Ellens- burg, in Doit'.'las county, Wash., and are at present twenty-one miles from the nearest railroad tioint. savs the caiutal. The do I osit has the appearance of a lake a mi'o and a half loig by half a mile wide, except that instead of containing water it is a solid de posit of birax, which is eight and one-half feet thick, resting on clay, which is turn overlies a bedrock 1 of slate. The boiax is solid and almost as transparant as ice and can he easily cut with an ax, or it can be saw t'd out in blocks of any e':.o that might bedeeired, and it is so easily cut that one man could take out a vast amount in a day. On exposure to the air it slacks, in which state it looks like lime. In this process, however, none of i's slrenghtli is lost, and if put in water it seemingly tlisolves, but only to resolve itself into its or iginal icy consistency again. While the diinensisons of this lake and the deposit would seem to give a fair idea of the quantity con tained there, such is uot the case, ami instead of a computation of H is supply being possible it can truly be said that the supply is utterly inexhaustible, lor the reason that the substance bubbles uo, milk warm, from the bottom so fast that were a hole, cay, for instance, ten feet square, cut out, h wculd be refilled in forty-night hours. About Hops, A census bulletin on the subject of hops says: Otsego county, New lork, with a yield of J,(!I8, t;S7 pounds, is the greatest hop- producing county, while Sacra mento county, California, with 2217 pounds per acre, stands at the head in average vield. Ten counties, viz., Otsego, Madison, Oneida, Schoharie, and Franklin in .New lork, Pierce and King m California, and Marion in Oregon, produce nearly - per cent, of the crop ;f the United States. Oregon is fourth hop-producng state in the Cuion, with Sl.'iO acres and 3.013. :Jt pounds of hops. The average; per acre is Il.w. Over the census of Ih-SO the increase in Oiogon was 3.3i;i,.'j5 pounds. In ISPi Oregon raised eight pounds of hops. KtWS OF IHti 00ASX. Interesting Items From Eichangrs Throsghtnt the Korlhwest.

Mrs Annie Hajes, a widow ol td ward Hayes, of Worchester square had jut arrived from Boston to spend the holidays with her hus band's relatives when a train from Portland came into the station.
