A wholesale merchant named Sven

At a mission house in Vermland, says
The North, a public meeting wass called
for the purpose of arousing the public
sentiment to the realization of the neces

country. But the result was wholly un
expected. When two otficers of the
army had spoken, Rev. Bjorlin, the pas
tor of the place, also spoke in favor of
stronger defenses, upon which anumber
of logmen could no longer keep quiet
but expressed their astonishment at
their pastor who always used to preach
peace, but now preached fortifications,
war, wholesale murder. Being asked if
they would not support and defend their
fatherland, they coolly answered that
"under the present circumstances they
did not see any reason why any one
should ask the Swedish people to defend
their country."

f8. F. Examiner.!
Just now all Oakland is in a great
bother over the millions left by Dr.
Samuel Merritt and his sisters, Mrs. C.
M. Garcelon ; but the story of the mar
velous luck which enabled Merritt to
start those millions is known to few.
When he came to California he was a
poor physician, witL, a recommendation
from Daniel Webster and some knowl
edge of the sea. He soon pulled to
gether something of a practice, saved
ins money and chartered a ship.
He sent this ship to Puget Sound to
load ice for the summer consumption of
the growing city on San Francisco bay.
He reasoned well that if ice formed in
merchantable quantities in the latitude
of San Francisco on theAtlantic it would
be found surely as far north as Puget
Sound on the Pacific.
The ship sailed away and was one of
the first vessels to enter the northern
sound. Then the owner waited for her
return. He walked out upon the sand
dunes and scanned the. ocean for his
ship. Finally he gave her up for lost.
Just then she sailed into the harbor.
He rowed out to her and clambered up
the side. The first information which
greeted him was this from his captain .-
"Ice doesn't form on Puget Sound."
For a moment he could see nothino-
but blue ruin, but he was soon reas
sured. The captain, a hard-headed
chap, had not been idle all the months
he was away. When he found there
was no ice on the sound he set his crew
to work cutting trees and trimming them
for pileB. The cargo of piles brought as
much as four cargoes of ice in a city
where wharves were needed, and this
freak of fortune opened up the great
trade in Puget Sound lumber.
Another Confession.
San Francisco, Jan. 10 The attor
neys for Sidney P. Bell, under conviction
for the murder of Samuel Jacobson on
August 10, 1890, argued in Judge Mur
phy's court this morning in support of the
motion for a new trial. Attoiney Henley
announced that a man called on him
last night and announced that another
party confessed to having killed Jacob
son while engaged in plundering the
latter's resilience.
"Lost evening, your honor," contin
ued llenlev, "a man came to mv office
and aaked for J. A. Brown, who has been
sent out here from the East to look after
certain portions of the case. He told
Brown that he knew something of im
portance. He told Brown that a man
came to his house on the ni.'ht of the
homicide and told him that he had
entered Jacobson 's house on the night
in question for the purpose of commit
ting buiglarv. The self-confessed bur
glar told this man that be was in
Jacobson s house for about an hour be
fore Jacobson came home. He was dis
covered in the back parlor, and that in
an affray he had to shoot Jacobson.
This man I speak of says that he was
awakened by his wife when the alleged
burglar called, and that she will sub
stantiate his statements. To show his
sincerity Brown will go to this man and
take any representatives of the defense.
Subpoenas were then issued for the al
leged man and his wife.
beveral attiuavits were then read. The
first was that of E. W. Campbell, of
Truckee. Campbell declares that he was
paid money and promised immunity
from punishment for burglary to commit
perjury at the first trial of Bell. The
next affidavit was also from Campbell
and declared that the detective, Brown,
had uever ottered him $1000, or any other
man, to swear that Bell had not killed
Jacobson. Then the noted "Campbell
confession," made in Chicago last week.
toiiowed. ine substance ol this has al
ready been given in these dispatches.
me next affidavit was that of Charles
G. Schmidt, Bell's cell mate, now dead.
On tbe trial he swore that Bell confessed
that he had killed Jacobson. In the
affidavit, Schmidt alleged that the
testimony was false.
San iRANcisco. Jan. 16 Edw. w.
Campbell, who has made several sensa
tional statements in the Bell murder
case, returned from Chicago this morn
ing.
Bell is in the San Francisco county
jail under sentence of hanging for the
murder ol a young man named Jacob
son. For a long time the case was a
mystery and it was rumored that Jacob
son had been killed by a lover of his
sister. A year alter the tragedy
Bell was arrested by the police and on
testimony of various kinds convicted. It
has since been charged that the San
Francisco police were given $3000 with
which to secure the conviction of some
one for this murder and they happpened
on Bell, who had not borne a good name,
and got criminals to testify against
him. An uncle of Bell in the East
has recently sent out a detective
named Brown to look into the
case, and this man has obtained the
Campbell confession and other matters
reflecting very gravely on the police of
that city. Ihe tight for a new trial for
Bell will doubtless be a bitter one, as
tbe whole police force is against it and
will consider a refusal to give him a new
trial a a victory over Brown.

Says Sulllvuu Is a Gentleman
Willing to Klglit Him.
, Nkw York, Jan. 18 Peter Jackson is
in town. He arrived here with his
manager, Parson Davies, and William
Kiordan, his sparring partner.
"I expect to stay in New York or
hereabouts," he said, "until the latter
part of next month, when I sail for Lon
don to get ready for my match with
blayin. I shall train about ten weeks
tor this fight, and exnnit tW ... ,.i..
on May 30th will be 195 pounds, or per
haps a trifle more."
"What do you think of your
chances?" '
"I consider them vrv o-,i i.i,i
replied Peter, with a grin. "If I liuVt
think I had an excellent chance for first
money I should never have made the
match, I promise you. Slavin is un
questionably a good man ; 1 don't sav I
can beat him, but I shall try my best
and a man can't do more." '
"What do you think of Slavin's atti
tude towards Sullivan ?" was asked
i.o ,. no.t aPProve of it," he answered.
Sullivan is under contract until next
September, and there is no reason whv
any man should badger hiin about a
match. I consider John L. Sullivan one
of the greatest fighters who ever lived
He can fight and hit good yet and it's
nonsense for any pugilist to say that he
can t. I met Sullivan before he left for
Australia and after his roturn. He is a
very gentlemanly fellow, and I am satis
fied he never talked about men in the
way the papers said.
"If I am successful with Slavin I am
willing to match with Sullivan. DrovM
inghe is desirous of entering the ring
again. I shall not hound him, however
lor I don't believe in that sort of thing

made for public and semi-military pro
cession through London to escort the re
mains of the Duke of Clarence from the
Great Eastern to the Southwestern rail
way stations, have been changed in con
sequence of the general epidemic of in

no concealment of their fears that the
exposure of the troops would probably

the 1 mice ol Wales immediately gave
orders that the projected military fune

that members of the court should not be
exposed to the unnecessary risk which
the procession through London would
entail and which w ould be certain to
seriously affect the health of

Washington, D. C, Jan. 18 The war
cloud, which a week ago was no larger
than a man's hand, now envelops the
war and navy departments. A decided
cnange lias eorue over omciais m these
two departments. They are less reti
cent. On all hands there is the feelin
that war is approaching.
Commodore Ramsey, chief of the
Bureau of Navigation, a very positive
but extremely conservative man, (said
this morning: "It looks warlike this
morning."
Senor Montt, evidently appreciating
the gravity of the situation, called at
the state department to see Seeretarv
lllaine, but ho had not arrived and Seno'r
.Montt, after waiting some lime went to
Blaine's residence to sec him.
Ins mission was too important to
communicate to Assistant Secretary of
State Wharton, nnd the lai ler was not
aware of Senor Montt's presence at the
depart inent.
"If we must have war with
Chili, we should wipe her nil
the map of South America," is
the expression that one hears frequently
in olllcial circles. It is generally ad
mitted that war would be very expens
ive at so great u distance "from this
country.
New York, Jan. IS The selling and
decline in the stock market this morn
ing ia attributed in part to the war
scare, and the belief that a rupture be
tween Chili and the United States was
inevitable
The Piesiilent today denied himself to
all visitors and worked on the Chilian
correspondence. He is preparing his
messavre to Congress. It is the belief
that the message and correspondence
will be sent to Congress on Wednesday.
Secretary of State Blaine was unable
to leave his house today because of an
attack similar to that of a week ago.
Ue recovered from it soon, however.
Tiie rumor is circulated to the nH'eit.
that the Chilian minister has notified
this government that an apologv from
Chili will be forthcoming. This could
not bo confirmed.
Washington, 1). C, Jan. 18 A flurry
was caused in official circles last night
by news of receipt of a cablegram from
Commander Evans, "Fighting Bob," as
he is known in the navy. The inter
ference of the Chilian minister of for
eign allairs in declaring that the re-
lugees now on tho Yorktown may be
tuKen out oi any merchant vesse. touch
ing at a Chilian port by the local author
ities, was properly resented. Fighting
Bob, and tho action of Secretary Tracv
in giving out the commander's dispatch
with its spirited comments, is an evi
dence of the deep feeling now existin"
in tho cabinet.
"If those fellows continue this sort ol
business," said a naval ollicer, "it
wouldn't surprise any of us to see Fight
ing Bob givo thorn a touch of American
spirit in a form that would make a de
cimation of war superfluous."
Secretary Tracy said last night: "The
department will reply to Commander
Evans' cable tomorrow. The refugees
must be taken to a place of safety. 1
am not prepared to say whore they will
be sent, or who will be ordered to take
them, but you can state that thev will
be promptly transferred to neutral ter
ritory, prohalilv on board a United
idU4 war vtj'.sel.
Secrelary Tracy woul I not discuss
further the outlook for a conflict with
Chili.
Washington, D. ('., Jan. S--Secretary
Tracy has sent a cablegram to Com
mander Evans, of the Yorktown, order
ing hiin to proceed to Callao. Peru, nnd
land the Chilian refugees at that place.

being done. The greatest activity pre
vails in the bureau ol naval intelligence,
the agents of whi'h, it is said, have
been at work on a plan of possible cam
paign, besides collecting all imaginable
information abroad. Through this
bureau the secretary has kept himself
thoroughly informed on the movements
of agents oi Chili, who, it is rumored,
have been for some time ransacking Eu
rope for war material. The comprehen
sive operations now conducted by the
department are largoly for the purpose
of ascertaining just what the naval svs
tem can accomplish in the event of hos
tilities. UKt'llMTINIi STATE MILITIA.
St. I.ofis, Jan. 18 Adjutant-General
Wickham ol thoi tute militia, lias issued
a general order that all companies of
the -First Regiment be recruited without

men between the ages of 18 and 30 and
that they be ready for active field serv
ice at IP days' notice. The command
ing officer ol the regiment is required to
make returns before February 5th,
showing the extent ti which the order
has been complied with. General Wick
ham is on his way to Washington, but
his order is explained on the ground
that he desires to increase tho number
of Missouri militia between nowan-1 the

Atlanta, Gn., Jan. IS In an inter

his speeches at Klruira ami Albany were
- 1 inconsistent. In his Elmira speech he
announced his personal views on th
leading questions oi the day. In his
Albany speech he gave Ins opinion as tu
what Congress at this session, and not
what he, should do, were the Democrats
in power in all tho branches of the
government.
lie says he is an ardent reformer and
also favors the free coinage ol silver. In
fact Senator 11:11 advocates that the
Democratic parly should insert a plunk
in their nest platform, that would mean
ultimately tho free coinage o: silver.
Hill believes the Democratic party will
be virtorious in the next election.' The
parly should go lo the country, he said,
on a perlectly plain platform. It should
ue prepared with care by some able and
conservative Democrat.
The platloriu should be so brief and
explicit t ml it should be pointed and
interspersed with .catching sentences
that can be used effectively by Demo
cratic orators in the campaign. We
should declare emphatically for lurill
reform. We should declare for silver on
an equality with gold. The country
should bo made aware that the Demo
cratic party at the prop?)- time will pass
a bill providing ior the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver and also ior a large
circulation per capita.

If the Darwinian theory of the sur
vival of the littest may be applied to dis
eases, then grip muHt reign triumphant
over tho hideous brood ol our turnieiit
ors, the King of Kvils, Death's most
constant and unconquerable ally, thai
has glutted the grave with more slain,
all told, than even the Black i'lague.
The grip after ten years' respite, or
fifteen, il the very mill type which pre
vailed in tho United Stales in 18(11 be
not worthy of consideration, broke oul
in Russia early in .November, li-MI. In
three weeks it bad seiz'd hall the popu
lation of SI. i'otcrbuig, and by ihe
middle o( December its shadow was over
the whole of -Northern Kurope. J lie
.New York World, in an article large y
based on iniorinalion supplied by Dr.
Ceorge l' Shradv, told the people of the
United States thai ill nil probability
westward tbe course of grip would hold
its way. Westward it came, an t in lii
teen ilays alter Dec. 'SA it is estimated
that folly 2'VI,U')) people had been at
tacked by it in New York alone.
The fact of the niafter is, and there is
siiliicient prool for it now to relote all j
statements to the contrary, that grip i
is ihifeiiendent of weaiher, 'i ho mortal- i
ity in -New York in ire-bound winter I

about the grip.
i 'Jhen incidentally h i it be reioeui
