arbitration l' phut.
When on Novemlier 10 last year Attorney-General
Miller made the an
noncement before the supreme court of
tho United States that a basis for the
arbitrating of the Behring sea difficulty
had been reached he was saying what
was at that time strictly true. The
agreement Beeuied to have been arrived
at as to the different questions to be
submitted to tho arbitrators. What
Attorney -General Miller then an
nounced has all now been
bv the demands on the part of
Lnid Salisbury for further modi
fications of the agreement reached in
November. Precisely what the nature
of these demands is it is impossible to
say just now, but that they are touching
minor points, not however heretofore
raised by him, seems pretty certain, so
that in extent they appear frivolous and
nsincere rather than based upon sound
premises.
Indeed they suggest in an unpleasant
manner the policy of delay which has
characterized Lord Salisbury's conduct
throughout these negotiations and
which, H it was not intenueu as sucn,
has most undoubtedly resulted in serious
loss, financial an t otherwise, to the
United States. There is good reason,
however, for believing that the patience
of this government is exhausted. It
would be premature, perhaps, to say
anything definite at the present time,
but means will not be wanting when
required to compel more consideration of
the questions at issue on the part of
Lord saitsDury.

Npe
nking f the
steamship - Newport Comss Up t
the lotal R-qitlrem,wiis.
New York, Jan. 9 The Newport, of
the Pacific Mail SteamBhip Company,
completed yesterday a successful trial
under supervision of the naval board ot
inspectors. Under the provisions oi tne
postal subsidy bill the vessels that carry
mails have to come up to a certain speed.
That required of the Newport was 14
knots an hour. During tne tour-nour
run the vessel made an average of 15
knots per hour, and the trial waa pro
nounced satisfactory.
Captain Shackelford, the bronzed
commander of the Newport, was an
officer in the United States navy during
the war and saw service in that capacity.
1 think," he said, it a a wise step on
the part of the government to have such
ships ready for naval use at a moment's
notice."
When the report of the board has been
made and accepted, the vessel will be
long to the auxiliary navy, and will be
liable to be called on at any moment lor
duty as a national vessel. The neces
sary alterationa to convert her from a
peaceful trader to an armed vessel ot
war are not considerable. She could then
easily carry a formidable battery of rapid
firing guns.
Judge Botkiu Hold Court W.th Sol
diers all About Him.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 7 Governor
Humphreys wired Judge Botkin this
morning that he could not put arms in
the hands of deputy sheriffs. The
adjutant general iB further instructed
not to interfere with the work done by
the civil authorities but to assist them
in serving warrants if called upon.
The suapieian is that Botkiu's request
for arms is for the purpose of arming his
friends and had they been sent
a general ngnt would nave ioi-
lowed. Botkin has showed no
disposition to retire from the bench, and
impression prevails that he will remain
even if it becomes necessary to place the
entire judicial district under military
law.
Governor Humphrey received a dis
patch this afternoon from the adjutant
general, dated Arkalon, stating that he
had arrested and was holding lour pris
oners. It is generally anticipated tnat
there will be no trouble as long aa the
troops remain.

preparations for war whicli our counuy
bus been making.
Our naval officers have not failed to
discover that two naval attaches of the
Rritish legation in this city, Captains
William 11. Wav and G. C. Langley,
have been watching every movement of
the navy department since the talk of
war with Chili first commenced. What
these officers have learned has, of course,
been duly communicated to their gov
ernment and the reports have doubtless
upset j ueen the means of convincing the British
authorities that the United StateB is in
sober earnest in her demand for repara
tion. It is noticeable to those who have
watched the developments of the Chil
ian controversy that the English influ
ence in the direction of peace com
menced just after the naval attaches
began familiarizing themselves with
our naval activity. These attaches have
made personal visits to different places
throughout the country where work on
war materials is in progress.
Only a few days ago Captain Langley
visited Mare Island navy yard and the
Union iron works at San Francisco to
see what truth there was in the rumors
of hurried work on the coast defense
vessel Monterey and othr vessels. Upon
his return a day or two ago he told his
friends he had been on a few days'
pleasure trip to New York, but this did
not deceive some of the naval officers
here.
Captain Langley is too well known to
the officers on duty on the Pacific slope
to conceal his identity, and he had not
been in San Francisco many hours be
fore his presence and the object of his
mission became known to tho depart
ment officials. . There can be no doubt
he discovered that the reports of great
activity in the work on the Monterey
were not exaggerated, and it is to be
presumed that he lost no time in in
forming his government of her condi
tion, and wh it a formidable craft she
will be when finished.

THEIR OPINION OF EG AN.
Valparaiso, Jan. 11 There is a great
deal of talk about the action of Minister
Egan yesterday in escorting the three
Ralmacedist reiuaees. Juan and William
McKenna and Jose Carrerra from the
American legation at Santiago to Val
paraiso, but the knowledge that he did
bo with the tacit approval of the new ad
ministration nas aroused severe orui
ciam.
The press gives considerable space to
the subject, Put discusses u in a caim
aniri t. While in no wise condemning
Mr. Egan for what he has done in the
matter, it asserts tnat ine unueu ouu.es
government must assume the responsi
bility of its minister if its minister loses
the respect of the public in escorting
such characters as these refugees, for hie
doing so degradea him to the level ot a
policeman.

Washington, I. C, Jan. 11 The
I'nited States supreme court today in
the interstate commerce case, Charles
Councillman, applicant, vs. Frank
Hitchcock, marshal of the United States
District court for the Northern district
of Illinois, decided that witnesses cannot
he compelled to testily in any criminal
cases where their answers might tend to
criminate them in any way, or subject
them to nosrtible future prosecution.
This case is one ol the greatest inter
est to the railroads, anu is attracting
widespread attention. Councillman was
asked whether he ever obtained trorn
any railroad a rate on grtcui shipments
lower than the open rate to all shippers.
He refused to answer ou the ground that
it might criminate him, and claimed the
protection oi tne cobbuiuwuuui guaiau
tee conferred by the Fifth amendment.
Judge Gresham decided against him
and held him in contempt of court for
refusine to answer Questions, and it was
on appeal from Judge Gresham's order
that tne case oeciueu ay me supreme
court today came up.

lnl. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 9 "Is there any
property in and around Savannah, or iu
any other part of Georgia, to which the
heirs of General James Oglethorpe,
founder of the colony, can lay claim to?"
That is the qusetion that has been put
to Messrs. O'Connor and O'Brien, of
this city, and it is the question they will
endeavor to answer after a thorough
search into all records having any bear
ing upon it.
General Oglethorpe's direct heir, a
lineal descendant of the next ot kin, is
now preparing for a struggle to obtain
some monev and other property held in
England. He lives in London, Ont.,
and through the United States consul at
that city has started an investigation to
discover what the prospects are of secur
inc a fortune in Georgia in a similar
wav to that in which he hopes to get
one in England.
His name is Allan Goodburn, and he
is the son of John and Mary Goodburn.
His mother's maiden name was Mary
Oglethorpe, and she was the daughter of
Samuel Oglethorpe, the nephew of Gen
eral Oglethorpe. This makes the claim
ant the great-grandnephew of the
founder. The fact ihat such an investi
gation is now under way is made first
public today, and has rather startled
real estate owners.

"England." he continued, "has all

Two men will always oppose a war over

advices received by Dr. McDill from the
Tongue River agency, where an upris
ing among the Indians is expected soon,
are as follows :
Troops of cavalry are being mobilized
at this point (Lame Deer, Montana,)
and are building barracks. The sheriff
was called upou last night to arrest
Walks Nights, the unruly buck, but
bv the request of General Morrill, who
is at St. Paul, desisted for a time, to
give the general a chance to place more
troops here to protect the settlers.
"The sheriff gave the Indians' agent
two weeks in which to arrest Walks
Nights and in case of failure he will
notify the war department three days
ahead of time that ne is to leave Miles
City to make the arrest. The Bheriff
says that when he Btarts to arrest
Walks Nights he will take with him
enough men to sweep the whole tribe.
He told the agent that it was his inten
tion to make the Indians come to the
agency and if they refused they would
suffer the consequences.
"Things look ugly and I expect there
will be several whites and Indians killed
inside of three weeks. Nearly every
buck carries a knife, a revolver a and
rifle with plenty of ammunition."

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 11 The sensa

day that the bankers of Minnesota and
the Dakotas are uniting to defeat the
Washburn option bill. They have been
holding quiet meetings for the past 10
days and on Friday night a general
meeting was held in Minneapolis at
tended by members of the clearing
house and many leading members of the
grain and elevator firms. The conclu
sion reached was that the passage of the
Washburn bill m its present lorm
would break up one of tho largest indus
tries in the countrv, one requiring for its
handling nearly $40,000,000 money from
New York, Boston and other money cen
tres. It was agreed that the passage of the
measure would weaken the credit of all
grain dealers and deal the Northwest a
blow from which it could never recover
in a quarter of a century. The Minne
apolis and St. Paul clearing houses will
hold a joint meeting tomorrow, at which
it is understood a protest will be drawn
up and forwarded to Washington.

Mexican consul at Laredo, has received
oruors from the government to doctor all

journalist of considerable talent, and

the revolution will not end. Small
bands will harass the government on all

Made a Deed or Trust.
Sherman. Tex., Ja'i. 9 M. Schneider
of this citv. filed a de
mine.crowding, gesticulating and shriek
in','. Hp to 2 o'clock this morning 48
dead bodies were taken out ot the mine
and 100 injured, 15 of whom died before
morning. Tne remaining 86 miners are
lying at their homes swaliied in cotton
and vaseline. This morning tne com
pany ordered 06, and the local under
takers ordered a car load ol coffins. AH
the mines in the vicinity have shut
down and the miners and women are as
sisting in the worn oi rescue, periormmg
offices lor the dead and relieving tne gut
tering of the wounded.
Some time ago the miners refused to
work with negroes. I'ms morning a
number of negroes went to Krebs and
assisted in tne work in only a half
hearted way, and om of their number
was heard to say it Berved the miners
right to have been killed. The word
passed from mouth to mouth and the
indignation of the miners knew no
bounds. A United States deputy mar
shal anticipating trouble was on hand
with a posse and drove the colored men
from the place at the point ot Winches
ters. As body after body was removed
lrom the ground the women crazed with
despair would throw themselves in front
of the shaft in their efforts to determine
at onco whether it was that of a father,
brother or husband.
Time and time again were the women
pressed back from the mouth of the
shaft, but as the work of rescue pro
ceeded the same scene was enacted. It
was almost impossible to recognize any
resemblance to human form in the
bodies of many of those rescued.
Heads, arms, legs, hands and feet in
many instances were torn from the trunk.
Their clothes were either partially or
entirely burned away and in some cases
the tiaines had literally roasted almost
all the flesh oil' their bodies. The dead
were taken to a blacksmith shop near
the main shaft where a morgue was im
provised, and the living were taken to
their homes. Tiie crowd vacillated be
tween the shall aud the blacksmith
shop all day.
Each particle ol clothing and the con
tents of the pockets were closely scruti
nized for any distinguishing mark
whereby the body could be identified.
A most horrible sight met the gaze of
members of the rescuing party at the
bottom of the shaft whore lay an indis
criminate mass of debris and dismem
bered bodies of miners.
Twenty-four bodies were found at
that point, but only six of them could
be identified. Six email boys, names
unknown, were killed outright
and found dead at their posts. It has
been learned that the explosion was
caused by George Lowery exploding
what is known as a window
pot. At a late hour last night it was
estimated that the number of missing
would reach a total of 14ti
based on the following figures:
About 400 men were in tho mine
at the time of the explosion
48 dead bodies have been re
covered, the names of 98 men
slightly and Boriously injured are known
and about fifty men escaped without
injury.
The explosion was terrific. It has
literally torn the ni'i'.n to pieces. It
closed up the gailoriei. u,.J down the
barricades which kept l!:': air from cir
culating ireely through r-n nnuBed por
tion oi the mine, thus i.tTl' i off all air
lrom the galleries.
This morning a relief i .n 'yof Krebs
miners was compelled, aiti r 48 hours
steady labor, to stop work. The party
was completely exhausted. There were
three carloads of mules in tue mine
when the explosion occurred and only
two of tue animais wore hurt, Boss
Driver Tom Kane was killed. Tue
superintendent sunt that the blame
should be laid upon whoever fired
tne blast, as it waa done too soon. It
Bhould have been fired at 5:10 o'clock,
alter the miners had leit the mine, in
wuich case the explosion would nave
occurred, but only five or six men would
have been killed. The work of bringing
out the dead bodies and removing the
living ib a til 1 progressing. The Osage
mine at Krebs is Gould property and
haB been operated tor a number of years
under tho management of parties in
St. Louis.
About 300 miners from Lehigh and
Coaldale passed through here today to
relieve the rescuers.
