believed.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. 10 Every
where in the capital this morning the
Chilian question is the topic of conver
sation. In his prayer the chapinin of
the House asked for divine guidance for
the President and his advisors and
members of the two houses in the pres
ent crisis, in that all shall be advised,
decided upon and done for the safety,
honor, dignity and welfuro of tho na
tion, in the Bpirit of justice and concil
iation to all other nations, and have the
sanction and blessing of the rulers of
tho universe.
The Senate chaplain thanked heaven
for peace and prayed that peace may
be preserved to this nation and to the
great family of nations.
I'EACIil'UI, HKTTLICMKNT I'BOif All MS.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 19 The cab
inet meeting today was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration of the
Chilian question. The proceedings were
only temporarily interrupted by the
slight illness of Secrotary Blaine, who
experienced another attack of Indiges
tion, accompanied with nauHea, being
obliged to leave the meeting.
.Secretary ISlaine had not boon at the
meeting moro than a half an hour when
ho complained of nausea and said he
felt weak and faint. He suggested that
they iiad better go heme and Secretary
Elkins agreed with him. They drove to
Mr. Blaine's house and his regular phy
Bician was soon in attemlance. Tim at
tack was somewhat similar to that of a
fortnight ago, but not nearly so Horious
and yielded much moro readily to treat
ment. It is not likely to have iinv ser
ious permanent ellect.
Secretary Tracy was very busy before
he went to tho cabinet mcetine: todav.
Soon alter reaching his oMico be had a
long conference with Senator Cameron,
chairman of the Senate naval commit
tee. 'Hie secretary was also today in
consultation, as usual, late with" his
stall' officers on various mutters concern
ing the present operations of the depart
ment. Tho session continued until 2 o'clock.
Tho only infoi niation in regard to tho
proceedings win Hint no conclusion had
boon reached in tho Chilian matter.
there is reason to believe that tho
government has received disimtchns
through tho Chilian minister, looking to
peaceiui aim sausiactory solution of the
questions in dispute and that thev will
bo submitted to the cabinet today." This
may possibly do away altogether with
the necessity of referring the question to
congress.

Washington, 1). C, Jan. 19 It is ro
porled at tho rapitol today that the
government of Great Britain has taken
stops to bring about a more friondlv
fooling betwoen the United States and
Chili and will intervene to effect a settle
ment ol tho trouble.
Members of tho foreign affairs com
mittee of the ilouso said this afternoon
that he had not received the informa
tion officially, but that he had no doubt
of its correctness. It said Great Britain
offered her good office and would en
deavor to arrange a basis on which an
amicable agreement might be reached.
THE CHARLESTON STILL AT NAN DIKOO.
San Dikiio, Jan. 19 The cipher dis
patches received from Washington by
Admiral llrowu npponr to change tho
plans in regard to tho movement of the
Charleston, which was expected to sail
for San Francisco this morning. At uny
rate the Charleston is making no prep
arations to move this morning. Yester
day niternoon a diver was Bent down to
examine the cruiser's bottom. His re
port to Captain lteiuy is that the vessel
is cleaner than was expected. An en
gineer also reported the mnchiiiery to
be in good condition and not in need of
overhauling. Tho ammunition brought
here by the Sail Francisco gives the
Charleston a complete store.
San Dii iiio, Jan. 19 Just lioforo noon
the final orders were given to Captain
Homey to proceed with the Charleston
to San Francisco. It is expected the
vossel will leave the harbor about 4
o'clock this afternoon.

han Francisco ijkki;nni:m.
San Fhaniinio, Jan. 19 In view of
the warlike tone of dispatches in regard
to Chilian affairs and ot the repeated as
sertion of San Francisco's danger ot
bombardment by u Chilian licet, the fol
lowing statement by an army officer
high in authority and peihaps as well
informed as any man in the service, on
tho subject of our ability to resist an
attack, will be very reassuring.
"1 think," said the officer, w ho pre
ferred that his name should not he used,
"that with our resources we could with
stand any attack made by any lleet
Chili couid send. Our present" arma
ment in Fort Winlield Scott and on tho
lull ahove consists of about 30 S-iuch
rilled annum converted from 10-inch
smooth bores, alwut 10 mounted and M
unmounted 15 inch smooth bore guns
and 32 mounted and hi unmounted 16
inch smooth bore guns and 32 mounted
and 55 unmounted old Ill-inch smooth
bore guns.
"Besides this there are about 100 va
rious old guns in the 'bene yard,' many
of which could be made to do good ser
vice at short range. Fifteen inch guns
Are a projectile weighing 450 pounds
about four miles, but about three miles
with effectiveness, and will penetrate 10
inches of iron at 1.00J vaids. Tim eit-ht
j inch rifled gun is very effective for about
i two miles and will carry a ISO pound;
j projectile (our and one-half miles and!
! penetrate armour eight inches in thick- j
ness at a distance of 10,000 yards.
"There are also some giuis at Black I
Point and at Catraze. The Chilian navv !
has no vessels which could withstand
Buch projectiles as could be fired from !
even our present guns. For this reason !
I don't think any Chilian cruiser could j
enter our harbor. j
"But there is hardly a supposuble case j
that a fleet would appear oil' our coast
simultaneously with a declaration of
war, and in all probability it would be I
a month or more at least niter such
declaration belore this city would be at
tacked. By or before that time extem
porized fortifications would be made that
would, I think, prevent any fleet getting
near even to the entrance of the bay.
"The government has some high pow
er rilled guns and mortars just finished
and more nearly bo, whose delivery
could be hastened if circumstances de
manded. We could have them ready
a week after they arrived in this city.
If batteries of these rides and mortars
were located back of the Cliff house and
on Point Bonita, I do not think a fleet
would dare approach near enough to
shell the city.
"We could also nut un within a couple
of weeks an extemporized bay torpedo
system that could blow up any vessel
that might preform the miracle of pass
ing the batteries along the shore of the
Golden Gate."
A CHILIAN MENACE,
Washington, 1). C, Jan. 19 "There
are three Chilian war vessels in the
Straits of Magellan," said a uavnl officer
today. "They lire not obstructing tbut
important highway against tho vessel of
any nation, but there is an understand
ing between the State department and
Navy department that the presence
of Chilian vessels is intended as
a menace against the passage
of any moro war vessels of the United
States from Atlantic to l'acilic waters.
Inside of 10 days the Miantomoniah, one
of the strongest warships in the world,
will start for Valparaiso in com
pany with the -Newark. At Mon
tevideo the Atlanta and Chicago will
join them. These vessels accompanied
by tho cruiser Bennington are not only
going to the straits of Magellan but they
are going right on through, if there is
any obstruction it will be swept out of
the way. They are going to Valparaiso
and nothing will stop them." The above
statement was made by an officer who
knew his authority and meant every
word of it.
ENGLISHMEN GET SCARED liLK'KLV.
London, Jan. 19 barge sales of Amer

The l'acilic Steam Navigation compa
ny's muil steamer John Elder, from Val
paraiso for Liverpool has also been
wrecked in the Straits of Magellan. All
the passengers mid crew of tho steamer
were saved, but the vessel herself will
be a total loss.
A dispatch to the Times from Sunt hero

church, at the Boulevard and Sixty
eighth street, gave an interesting lecture
on "Samples from Sample Hooms" last
night.
.Mr. Peters began by sayint? that in
December he visited a dozen of the best

and bought pint samples of their best

"In the sample of 'pure Holland gin,"

"But the port wine," said .Air. Peters.
that rich, fruity drink which solid re
spectability is proud to take after din
ner that was the worst of all. What
do you think we found in tho best sam
ple wo could buy ! Well, there were
neutral acid, glycerine, licorice, zinc,
mercury, antimony, salts of tartar and
ether, muriatic acid and alum.
"I have statistics to show that one
hundred times more imported oort wine
is sold than can be made from all the
grapes in Oporto, it is the same with
all other wines. Madeira produces .'10,000
barrels of wine per vear, and America
alone drinks 50,000 barrels of Madeira
w ine in that time."
In the best lager beer he could get,
Mr. Peters said, there were discovered
pepper, ginger, vinegar, capsicum, cream
of tartar, acetic, nitric, citric, tartaric,
sulphuric and prussic acids ; nitric, sul
phuric and acetic ether ; spirits of nitre,

"One ounce of whisky," continued the
speaker, "is a good big drink. There
are la of those ill a gallon, which at 10
cents a drink brings in If 12.80 for what
costs the saloonkeeper just $1.70. But
how is it those 8000 are allowed to stay
open beyond their legal hours and have
their potty crimes winked at? It is not
police stupidity. It is police complicity.
"By police 1 mean not the patrolmen,
but the captains and commissioners,
who by the elaborate system of black
mail they maintain on tliesj saloons,
live like princes, though they not so
long ago were paupers. 1 know a little
saloonkeeper in this town who told me
only a short time ago that he put up ifl
a week regularly for the privilege of
keeping open on Sunday. If all his
companions were taxed the same sum
there would still bo the neat total o:

Chicago, III., Jan. 19 None of the
delegates here to the Now York meeting
of the Western Trallie Association ur
certain that the association will live bo
yond April and it is developed that in
any event Gould can gain no advantage
from the withdrawal ol his lines. The
five high-priced chairmen were re-elected
only to April 30, the list of all associa
tion olhcmls expiring tho same day.
i hen Jav Gould retired from the New
York meeting the agreement was
secretly made by all the other lines that
they would resign in a body on the day
any Gould line dropped its membership.
This will throw the responsibility upon
Gould and compel him to help pay the
association expenses as long us any of
them. The prosperity of association
lines has rendered them careless of the
continuance of the organization as they
believe tho abundant trallie w ill keep
competitors from cutting rates for 12
months at least.

The defense hero rested its case, ami
I'augherty began the argument for

that the jury was packed. The publica

heated campaign, and he insisted that
whether it was true or false tho papers
had a right to publish them as a matter

street and financial circles genorally be
came excited generally at a dispatch
from Now York, which stated that the
American sugar refining company (the
S'igar trust as it is popularly known),
had ollored if 10,00l),000 for the
big sugar refinery of Harrison,
Fraser A Co. There was the usual
fluctuations in sugar prices and other se
curities, brokers discussing with business
like sagacity tho effect of ibis latest
move by tho big trust and there was a
general air of activity among the finan
cial operators that sway the local and
general markets.
Mr. Fraser of the firm of Harrison,
Fraser . Co., was seen at bis ollice.
"No," lie said, ' that's the tirst I've
heard of this Tuird street rumor, or the
oiler lor our plant."
"The report is, Mr. fraser, that vou

can say that if such an offer was made I
would certainly bo inlornied of it, and I
have no knowledge whatever of any
such proposition, either from the sugar

New Yokk, Jan. 19 William M. Wis
dom, manager of the Stark Medicine
Company, lias disappeared anil since
Beceniher o'lth all trace of him has been
lost. On that day be left No. 217 West
Thirty-eighth street, where lie had been
stopping, saying that be was going to
Chicago on a short businois trip. He
was to have taken a train at the Grand
Central depot, but some of bis friends
think that he did not get as far as the
station.
.Mr. Wisdom came to this city from
Portland, Or. llo was the originator of
two or three proprietary medicines
which are manufactured and sold on the
l'acilic coast. Ho was in the East ar
ranging for the establishment of labora
tories in New ork and Philadelphia.
He was thoroughly familiar with his
business and tho degrees of M. I), and
Ph. 1). had been conferred on him. He
was a steady, thoroughgoing business
man, and had met with considerable
success in the East. Three of the pro
prietary medicines of w hich he was the
agent bear bis name.
ins Headquarters in .New lork were
with McKesson .i liobhine, of 91 Fulton
street, and with Ladd & Coffin, No. 24
Barclay street, with which firms he did
business. Three days ago 11. S. Neal,
who is the Western agent for tho same
line of medicines, came to Now York
from Chicago, wdiere lie had an engage
ment to meet Wisdom on the Monday
after New Year's.
Ho stated that Mr. Wisdom had never
been to Chicago, or at least had never
attended to any business there, as all of
his letters were there, unopened. Mr.
Neal came on to this city and at once
began search for the missing man. His
efforts were of no avail. A Broadway
caie, where Wisdom took his breakfast
on the morning be started oil', was the
last place he was seen by those wdio
knew him.
He was a middle-aged man, mild
mannered and pleasant. His height
was ahout ft feet 8 inches and his figure
was square and well built. His eyes
were blue and twinkling, his face open
and expressive. He wore a short mous
tache, but was clean shaven otherwise.
Mr. Neal, his associate in business,
says: "Mr. Wisdom Bhould have had a
considerable sum of money on his per
son. He could not sav "exactlv how
much. lie thinks that he has met with
some intal mishap. Wisdom has a wife
and children in Oregon, and as far as is
known thev are ignorant of his wdiere-

Chicago, Jan. 10 President Baker of
the local world's fair directory, must
tep down. He has given the fair a
ilack eye by leaving the fight on the
national commission and insisting that
vniv.t:u sunn uuiiuui ait toe monev anu
natronage. Chicago is now made to re
pudiate him and an attempt is being
made to have .Mr. Cage again accept the
presidency. The address of the com
mittee ot federal legislation, refusing to
join Chicago in asking lor an appropria
tion, is put down as the result of Presi
dent Baker's policy.
Hirector General Daviea said today:
"Baker lias blunderel at everv step.
The work of the chief of departments is
now balke 1 by him and ne is exercising j
authority to which he has no right, i
Tins nation ii the directory. 'We raised !
the money and we will spend it as we '
see fit.' was his idea. He is the one
man who caused this trouble. It is not
the members of the directory who have '
caused this troub.e, the direc-
announces that the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad has completed
negotiations for options on valuable ter
minal property worth $1,000,000 in Fort
Worth and at Dallas, Tex. For some
time past there have been vague hints
that the Knck Island was to build at
once into Texas. It has become known
that heavy orders for steel rails have
been given to an Illinois rolling mill,
and President Cable in this city last
week admitted that the Hock Island
lines in the Indian Territory were to be
extended toward Texas.
The move is one of vast importance
from the southwestern standpoint. It
is stated that the extension to Fort
Worth is to be mainly for the purpose
of assuming direct connection with the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas. The latter
company is now controlled by William
and John Rockefeller, the Standard oil
millionaires. Jay Gould unloaded it on
them at $40 a share and then let them
discover that it was bankrupt. A re
ceivership and stock assessment fol
lowed. The oil magnates have been
quoted as threatening to show Mr.
Gould that they know how to get even.
Thus the news that the Rock Island is
to move on to a Fort Worth connection
is exceptionally important. The Mis
souri, Kansas & Texas uets direct con
nection with the best Northwestern ter
ritory and is able to reach Chicago
direct. Uock Island's gains are not one
whit less important. Over the Missouri,
Kansas A Texas it will run to almost
every important distributing point in
Texas and be able to reach the sea at
Galveston, and in this connection there
is talk of a new line of steamers to be
put on by the Rockefellers to carry Rock
Island, Missouri, Kansas i&Texas freight
to Iinrope and South America.
What, if any, proprietary interest the
Rockefellers have acquired in tho Rock
Island road is not disclosed, though
there are intimations that representa
tives of one of them are to become Rock
Island directors.

Philadelphia, Jan. 18 John Bards
ley, obstinate and silent, refused to be

State and city funds. Neither the quer
ies of the district attorney, the admon
itions of the bench, nor the pricking of
his own conscience moved the obdurate
municipal criminal when his testimony
was needed to open the doors of the
Kastern penitentiary for other and
equally guilty culprits.
John Pardsley today is a broken
hearted, tearful aud crushed old man.
His nerve and force have gone. The
brain that dominated City Councils for
years and forced the city treasury
within his grasp, now only dreams of
freedom. A gentleman who haa m.
cently seen and talked with the convict,
says that the old man has no interest,
no heart in anything, but liveH and
breathes only in tho hone of a return t.n
the world. John liardsley believes that
he will be pardoned, declared his recent
visitor, or mat ins term ot imprison

Ettore Paolucci is dead I
Ettore Paolucci was only a poor old
notuan sanor, ageu rjz years.
Ettore was the victim of circum
stances. Ho was the donkev engineer
on Doaru oi tne snip ft Kaggio.
lien ne arrived at the port of fa.
coma he was very ill. He had fallen, he
said, and injured himself internally. He
was sullenng from the asthma and kid
ney trouble and heart disease, and the
doctor sam ne eoulU not live long.
Captain Capurro, of theship E.Raggio
refused to pav him his waees.
Hon. Thomas Carroll was engaged to
unuertaKe tne collection ot the wages of
tutors, ana ne wrote to C. O. Sooncer
the Italian consular agent at Seattle, and
asKeu nun io come to xacoma
and aid him to secure the
pay for the dying man's services.
Mr. . Spencer replied that he had
no time to come to Tacoma, aud referred
him to the local authorities. Again Mr.
Carroll appealed and again Mr Spencer
replied, this time stating that the matter
nau Been relerred to CaDtain Caourro
and if the captain refused to look after
Paolucci, to apply to the local authorities
lor relief.
Meanwhile Paolucci, who had left his
shin, was claimed by his captain to be a
deserter and not entitled to his seaman's
wages. 1 iio man had left to secure med
ical attendance, and on the street had
met one Antonio Eranchini, a Roman,
iikb nimseii, wno took pity on
him and took him to a boarding house
in me oiu rtowell residence, on St.
Helens avenue, where he was attended
by Drs. Everett and F. C. Miller, each
oi whom pronounced him to be in a
very dangerous condition and too ill to
be moved about. Dr. Everett visited
him last and prescribed for him on
iriday.
Hon. Thomas Carroll during this time
lauing io secure raoluccrs money from
Captain Caourro, acting under the sue-
gestion of the consular agent, drew up a
uoei ugainst tne E ltaggio tor the
wages due. The libel recited that in
January, iswi, the Kaggio being at
the port of Genoa, Captain Capurro
engaged the services of Paolucci
at the sum of one hundred
uioico per montn to make a
voyage not to exceed 30 mmths, from
Genoa to the United States, from the
United States to China, from China to
the United States, and from the United
States back to Europe, agreeing also to
iurnisn provisions, Inedicmes and med
ieal attendance.
In pursuance of this contract poor old
.cuoia went io worn in nis blst year on
shipboard and continued in service until.
he arrived at Tacoma when on the 24th
of December, on the eve of that day
when all the bells in Christendom are
ringing out, "Peace on earth, good will
toward men," when even the humblest
of us is seeking to make some other
happy, the aged Paolucci was forced to
go ashore aud wandered about until he
met his countryman, Franchini, who
look nun in.
The libel further relates that the
master of the ship, careless of the aged
man's infirmities, abused and mistreated
him during the voyage, knocking him
down, and while he was sick refusing
aim meuicine or meaioal treatment,
and that on the 24th
of December he refused to furnish him
anything to eat and ordered him to
leave the ship without paying him any
wages due or furnishing hiin means of
transportation to his home in Italy, to
all ot which he justly entitled.
Yesterday Consular Agent Spencer
after learning that papers in the libel
suit had been forwarded to Judge Han
ford, found time to come to Tacoma,
but did not seek out Paolucci's
attorney. On the contrary Mr. Spencer
sought Captain Capurro and advised
Captain Capurro to pay the wages due
Paolucci to him (the consular agent)
and they duly settled on a basis very
much less than Carrol demanded.
lhen Cantain CaDurro went thrnnah
the formality of discharging Paolucci
from his service. Then the consular
agent and the cantain went to Chanlnin
Stubbs and pretended that they were
going io muae arrangements to have the
man taken to tho Fannie Paddock hos
pital. Then they visited Paolucci and de
manded of the people with whom he
was boarding that he be given over to
the consular agent. The people refused.
Then tho gentlemen went to the chief
of police and represented that the
Italians who wore sheltering Paolucci
were detaining him against his will,
and to prove this took along an
interpreter named Ferrari; and Fer
rari made it all Dlain nn.)
Hartford, Conn., Jan. 19 Hartford
financial circles had a sensation yester
day in the rumored defalcation occur
ring either in the office of a Hartford
bank or .insurance com nan v nr amnn
outside agents. The amount was olaced
at $100,000. Inquiries made among in
surance and bank officials resulted in
tlie assurance that the rumor was with
out any foundation whatever. . The
hurried departure this noon of the presi
dent of one the wealthiest corporations
was cited in support of the rumor, but
the company's officials stated emphat
ically that the trip was one of business
and had no reference whatever to any
or rumored trouble with the company's
outside agents. The general belief is
that the rumor has no basis whatever.
While the report was generally circu-
lated nobody appeared to know its
source or what corporation was re
ferred to.

Chicago, Jan. ID Of 23 mail trains
duo in Chicago this morning from all
points, 14 had, up to noon, failed to ar
rive, aud not one of them on time. The
snow blockade is one of the most exten
sive ever experienced. There are de
layed trains from every point of the
compass.
Reports from many points in Missouri,
Illinois and Arkansas state that blinding
snow storms have raged for the last 24
hours and that all business is at a stand
still and trains ara delayed. Dispatches
from Texas state that the rain
storm of Monday turned to sleet
and the livo stock is suffering
terribly. This is tho coldest spell Kan
sas City has experienced, the thermom
eter registering 25 below this morning,
but later tho weather moderated. It
was 20 below at Atchison, where '
much Bullering was caused by
the cold. Last night in Min
nesota and the Dakotas waB an
other cold one, but today is some
what warmer. Private advices from the
Cherokee nation says that the streams
and pools are frozen over and many cat
tle were drowned by going onto the ice
in search of water and breaking through.
Getting Keady for Use.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 10 There
are now completed at the Washington
gun foundry 20 six-inch rides and 16
eight and 10-inch calibres, making
the present stock 30 guns of modern
patterns that are practically available
for immediate use. Usually takes about
fifty days of eight hours each to
make a six-inch gun. But when the
24 hour system is put into
operation the period can be
cut down to about 17 days.
The twelve-inch gun recently com
pleted at the navy yard for the
Monterey, cost $40,000." According to
final reports received by the navy de
partment, the labor on it cost but $0000.
The guns weighed 104,000 pounds and
thus cost about 40 cents a pound,
or nearly half the averaee cost
of guns of the same size aboard. This is
regarded as an excellent showing for the
foundry.
It is denied at the navv denartment
that any order has been issued in m.
elude visitors from the Washington navy
yard.
