All of the vessels received ill-uage during the late civil war, and but little has been done siaee then to repair, them. It is said the machinery of all of them, in cluding the Esmeralda and the Cochrane, is in vcrr bail condition. Even the Errazuriz. which is a new ship and arrived only last .week, is saw to be in the same condition as ibc other-. It is reported her boilers are burnt out and it will be necessary to send her to Europe for repairs belore she can be of any service. A slight international incident occurred jn Valparaiso harbor on the night that the ISrrazuriz arrived. She commenced using herscaich lights about 1 o'clock in the moraine and throw the glare all over the liny in what was supposed to be an ellbrt to find the Yorkt own. lrliel "5 illl the Star-5panlrd Kannr. She finally threw the light across the forecastle of the American gunboat and come of the rays penetrated through the pons to the berth deck, where the '"watch below" was sleeping. The blue jackets mere aroused trom their slumbers by the light and a number of them went oVi the forecastle and sang the "Star Spangled Bar.r.er" until the illumination ceased.

Secretary j Blaine s-ent a cable message to Minister i form the Chilean Government tna its prop- sit ion for a settlement of the differences l between thn two governments, made in re- ; sponse to the nllimatuni cf the 21st inst., is satisfying to the President of the United States as indicating a good l prospect that the controversy can now be uiijusieu ou icmis saiiiaciurv u imsijui erninent by the usual diplomatic methods. The telesritm makes no request or sugges tion ot any kind whatever tor a salute by Chile to the American flag. There was nothing said at yesterday's Cabinet meeting on this subject, and there is no reason to be lieve that this Government will require such a salute from Chile. While it is not altogether improbable that Chile may change her diplomatic repre sentative at "Washington, it is stated au thoritatively that tins Government has taken no steps whatever looking to that end. That President Harrison has no feeling against Minister Montt is shown by trfe tact that he has sent him a personal invitation to attend the state dinner to be given at the White House next Tuesday, in honor of the diplomatic corps. An oliicial ot the International Naviga tion Company, the owner of the steamer Ohio, winch was impressed bv the Govern ment tor use as a transport ship in case of trouole with Chile, will conter with Secre tary Tracy next week with the object of securing the suspension of the contract which the Government made for the use ot the ship tor three months at 5.W0 a day. The contract will probably be canceled, and the ship restored to her agents with pay tor the number ot days she has been in the Gov ernment service. 1GAN HEAES FR02E BLAINE. The Secretary Agalu skvs That Chile's Re ply Is JsatislRctory. Santiago, Jan. 30. Several members of the Chilean Cabinet have stated to the As sociated Press correspondent that the rea son that the recall of Mr. Egan, the United States Minister, was requested last week, was that he had notified Secretary Illaine that the Chilean Government had issued a safe conduct for refugees and had afterward withdrawn it. The newspapers here pub lish a dispatch irom Mr. Blaine to Mr. Egan. received to-day, in which the United States Secretary of Slate says that Mr. Egan had never informed him that a safe conduct had been issued for the refugees. Senor Pereira, Chilean Minister of Eoreisn Affairs, has thanked Mr. Egan warmly for having given him a copy of the dispatch mentioned. Mr. Egan received to-night from Mr. Blaine a dispatch, the import of which is similar to that of the message scut to Con gress by President Harrison on Tuesday. In this Mr. Blaine says that the President is satisfied with 'the withdrawal of Senor Matta's telegram and the request for Mr. Ecran's recall, and hopes that the affair of the attack on the Baltimore's men in Valparaiso will be settled amicably. The contents of the latter dispatch will' be con veyed to Minister Pereira by Mr. Egan on Monday. CHILE 2ESTS AT EASE. Harrison's Second .VJessaso Calms the Ex citement His First Produced. Saktiago, Jan. 30. Late Thursday last averybnc synopsis of President Harri son's second message to the American Con gress relative to Chile's position in the dispute with the United States, was received here and in a short time " Ills'- news spread through the city that there was no lurthcr danger of war, the tenor of the brief telegraphic re ports showing that the United States was willing to accept Chile's apology. presi dent Harrison's first message had caused 1 great excitement here, where its warlike utterances wcie thoroughly discussed in the cafes and other places of public resort, but the second messase caused a revulsion of ieeling, and the people generally became much calmer. For the first time in three months the Chilean press is publihing respectful com ments concerning Minister Egan and other American officials, and it is thought the Chilean newspapers will henceforth be more circumspect in their utterances regardinsr America and the Americans.

Naval Constructor Philip Hichborn, United StatcsVNavy, was at the Astor House to-day. He said there can be no doubt that the recent war scare had aroused the people to the urgent necessity of providing for the public defense. The temper of Congress favors an appropriation to finish the construction work now under vvay, and to piovide for the building of two or three more war ships after the style of the Oiegon, Indiana and Massachusetts. They are the highest types of the modern battle ships. Thev arc larger, better armored and more effective than either the Maine or the New York.

CHICAGO UNWASHED AGAIN. The Clo-jgiiic r Water Tnnnel With Ice Causes btltt Another Panic Chicago, Jan. 30. For a time yesterday this city was threatened with another water famine.

I read it in a news paper, t called on Miss Fuller and asked her if she knew that Mr. Hayes all cad y had a wile. She said she did. "Then Iasked her it the rumor was true. She said it was not; that her relations with Mr. Hayes were purely of a businesscharacter." During this testimony Miss Fuller rolled her eyes as though shocked, and lifted her hands in horror. "Heavens, what a lie," she whispered. "I never saw that woman in my Hie until I saw her in the court room the other day." The examination was adjourned until February 16, when Miss Fuller will be acting in this city. Lawyer Lalls insisted that Mr. Hayes" be put under bonds, ami Justice Grady fixed bail at 52,500, which was furnished by Mrs. Hayes. Hayes then started out of the room with his wife.

Qnajism or Anti-Qnayism Is a Stirring Issue in That County. Holmdaysbubg, Jan. 30. .sprcin'. The Republican County Committee held a largely attended meeting here to-day and fixed the time and place of the two conven tions. An unroar was created in the meet ing when Committeeman Craig, of East Hollidaysbiirg, in vain pleaded for fair play while he offered a resolution binding delegates to the county convention to vote for the candidates receiving the highest votes at the preceding primaries in their districts, and so on down the list. A per fect bedlam ensued, during which Chairman Hammond ordered the resolution to be laid on the table. A strong resolution had been prepared to make each candidate for the State Senate and Assembly to declare belore their nom ination whether thev- would support United States Senator Quay for renomination, but the managers quickly suppressed the verdant delegate who fathered it, and he kept the paper in his pocket; but a mild resolution was passed that the instructions as to choice for a United States Senator be submitted to tlie people at the primary election, to be held March 19. State Senator John A- Lemon and Kepresentativcs Stayer and Metzer were greatly interested in the action of the committee to-day, so they might learn whether it is necessary to hedge on their well-known preferences for Quay.

CAPKIVI WEAKENING, The Kaiser's Education Bill Stirs Up . Dangerous Opposition. 'TWILL PEOBABLY BE MODIFIED. Trince Bismarck Holds His Tongue, but Enjovs the situation. A CABINET CRISIS SEEMS IMMINENT rCOPTBIGIlT. ISSi ET TtIK NEW YORK ASSOCIATED PHKSS.: Bem-in-, Jan. 30. The debate on the sec tarian education bill in he Lower House of the Prussian Diet to-day was -conducted. with less acrimony on all sides than has previously mat ked the discussions of the measure. The debate was closed by agree ing to rcler the bill to a committee of 2.1 In the early stases of the discussion Herr j Ktchter and other Frcistnnige leaders op- - w posed the remitting of the bill to the com mittee until the House, in a plenarr sit ting, either approved or rejected the lead ing clauses of the treasure. The Freisinnige leader had reason to fear that the bill, after disappearing from the House, would be handled privately by a prejudicad commit tee and would be returned with its sub stance unaltered. The National Liberals shared the Freis innige leader's reluctance against allowing the bill to go to Ihe committee so long as the Government appeared to be determined upon agreeing to no compromise. The Government Partly Ha'cUinc Down Chancellor von Caprivi's speech on the bill yesterday showed no sign of any dis position toward conciliation. Since then, however, private negotiations, in which Herr Miquel, the Prussian Minister of Com merce, Chancellor von Caprivi and Herr von Bennigsen were concerned, have given rise to the hope that the Government will assent to so remodel the clauses as to divest the measure of its inosi obnoxious features. This departure is due to the Government realizing the strength of the coalition of the moderate Conservatives, .National Liberals and Freisinniges. The Chancellor calcu lated that out of the 428 members constitut ing the House the bill would get the sup port of 232, consisting of Centrists, Con servatives and several Independents. This estimated majority has beeu reduced by the threatened defection of a number of Con servatives. Doubtless the Government can still really force the measure through vVith the de pleted majority, but it would result in a rupture in thc'Ministry, the inevitable dis solution of the Diet and the formation of a strong and united Liberal party, backed by popular agitation, which would eventually overturn the Government and lead to a re action against the Emperor's policy. Caprivi Not So Defisnt Now. So to-day Chancellor Von Caprivi altered his tone of defiant hostility toward the Na tional Liberals. Alter declaring that re ligion and education were inseparaole, he denied desiring to domineer over the Lib erals. It was the Liberal coalition, he said, that aimed to domineer over the Gov ernment. The National. Liberals designed to use the bill as a lever in forming a great Liberal party. "But," he added, "I ac cept the conciliatory attitude of to-day's party orgaus, and I now think the menace to create an opposing coalition only a soap bubble that has already burst." Dr. Fricdburg, a National Liberal, reply ing to the Chancellor, said that a coalition against the Government was a mere hypoth esis. It might happen if the defeuse of religious liberty threw the parties together. Herr Eichter, the Freisinnige leader, de clared himself opposed to any compromise. It was impossible, hj said, to alter the measure so as to make it acceptable. I ever it became a law' it would prove useless as a weapon against the social democracy. It would ruin education and would place the schools under the rule ot ecclesiasts who were less concerned with genuine cul ture than with enforcing their belief in dogmatic creeds. The Freisinnige Y,'lll Fight to the End. His party was ready to oppose the bill to the bitter end. The Government, he dc-1 clared, would find itself face to face with an unceasing conflict with the best elements of the nation, whose life depended on the results of the struggle. Chancellor Von Caprivi, npon the con clusion of Herr Kichter's address, again arose and commented on the opposition of tiie National .Liberals as implying only three possible conditions. These conditions, he said, were that cither the Government must enter into a lasting compact with the National Liberals an impossibility in Prussia where the actions of the Govern ment depended on the King or the party must take the Government in tow, a condi tion that the Government would oppose to the last, or the party must allow itself to bn towed by the Government, an arrangement he would not suggest to the National Liberals. The whole tenor of the Chan cellor's remarks indicated hisdesire toavoid a financial rupture with tlie National Liberals. The House is now adjourned till Wednes day. A Cabinet Crisis Imminent. In the meantime the situation is one of a suspended crisis. Miuistcrs Boettischer and Herr Furth will resign with Herr 3Iiqncl if the Emperor-King does not allow the Chan cellor to assent to crucial amendments Minister Von Zedlitz alone in the Cabinet urges that no concessions be made. As a Minister after the King's own heart, Von Zedlitz has been decorated with the insignia of the Order of the lied Eagle of tlie first class. It is probable the issue of the struggle will be to precipitate the general election, which is due in the jutumn. The Liberals are confident that the bulk of the Prussian electorate will vote against the Govern ment. Pnnce Bismarck declines to commit him self for or asrainst the hill. A correspon dent of a National Liberal paper vainly tried to obtain an interview with him on the subject. The Hamburger Xachritfiten, Prince Bismarck's organ, adopts an uucer tain tone. It twits Conservatives with'be comir.gtools of the Government and with ceasing to be,a party having a conscience lor the interests of the country. The Man oT Iron TVoll Pleased. If the Hamburger Kaehrichten's article was inspired by the Prince it is evident he chiefly enjoys the struggle as likely to insure disaster to the Government and render the Emperor-King unpopular. A report which is credited by the court circle is current to the effect that the Grand Duke of Baden has written to the King on tiie grave consequences "of a popular up rising against religious coercion. The Grand Duke isa man of liberal ideas akin to those of his deceased brother-in-law, Emperor Frederick. He has, however, small in fluence vi ith his nephew, Emperor William.

English engravers are grumbling that they are not represented on the British committee for the Chicago Ex hibition. The Koyal Commission is being bombarded with remonstrances and. denun ciations on the subject, and will probably surrender to save further worries. It is stated that considerable dilliriilty is being experienced in persuading artists and owners to take the risk of sending pictures long journeys by sea and rail to Chicago. Some sort of fdea' seems to prevail that most trains running between New York ar.d Chicago eci smashed up and barned. BUNCO O'BKISN AS A Wit H Glres a Sample of Ills Fumy Work to n Fellow Pnssrncer. , fnVCABI.E TO THE DISPATCtM , London, Jan. 30. The steamship com panies of Liverpool have protested strongly against the police allowing it to he known by which ship Tom O'Brien, the bunco swindler, would travel to America. They point out that such disclosures do not im prove their business,and if the Government wants to make these announcement before hand it had better use its own warships to convey criminals across the Atlantic. The passengers on board the Arizona were much excited over t-hc fact that this notorious character was on board. One old lady on the way from Liverpool to Queens town asked a fellow passenger if heknew there was a notorious criminal on board. The gentleman to whom the inquiry was ad dressed happened to be O'Brien himself. He said that he had heard so, and whispered that it was scandalous that decent people should be subjected to such treatment. "If it hadn't been for some circumstances over which I had no control," concluded O'Brien, "I'm darned if I should have trav eled by this ship."

The destination of the itinds collected for wedding gifts to the late Duke of Clarence and Princess May remains undecided. It w;as sought to learn the wishes of the Prince of Wales, but he declined to give the slightest hint on so delicate a matter. The Lord Mayor of London has convened a meeting of the principal collectors throughout the country, to secure an interchange of views, and as so many are in favor of doing something for Princess May, it is probable that a settle ment will be made upon her.

She Shoots Per Danchter in the Face and V ants to Kill Her Son. Atlantic City, Jan. 30. Mrs. Emma Warwick, the wife of Captain "Warwick, of the schooner Blanche King, now in Phila delphia, yesterday shot her young daughter1 Lanra in the face while suffering Irom a severe attack of nervous prostration. It is said that she was firmly impressed with the hallucination that Bhe should, also kill her Ki-year-old son and herself. In the afternoon she sent her son on an errand and then called her daughter to her bedside. Unconscious that her mother held a weapon in her hand the young girl in quired what she desired, when the sick woman raised the pistol and fired full in her face. The ball took effect just below the left eye and is still lodged in her head. The girl bravely stepped forward and wrested the weapon from her mother's hand and said'nothing to the neighbors of what had taken place. When her brother Clifford returned she sent him for Dr. Eugene Reed, who immediately responded, and with difficulty learned of what had taken place. He does not think that the wound will prove fatal, but believes that the wound maycanse the loss of the sight of her left eye. There is nothing to point otherwise than that the woman did the shooting while temporarily out of her mind. A LAWEENCEVILLEEIOT. Two Police Offlp'-rs Hxdiy Used Up White Jinking an Arrest.

England Would Re Only Too Glad to Be Represented at the PKOrOSED INTERXATJOXAL COXGRESS tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCIM London, Jan. 30. Copyright Tho controversy still rages in connection with Mr. Goschen's 1 note scheme, notwith standing that it will not be proceeded with. Next to the bankers, the class which takes most interest in the subject are the retired Anglo-Indian officers, civil nnd military, whose incomes have been greatly affected by the fall in price of silver. Major Gen eral Saxton, of the Madras staff corps, speaking for this class, remarks to-day: "It is marvelous that the see-saw now go ing on receives no attention. The United States Government every week or so pur chases something like a quarter of a million sterling of silver at the current market pricp, with the avowed object of raising the price of silver. Exactly every week the Secretary of State for India sells nearly a half million worth of silver as money, not at the market price, but invariably below the market quotation. It is impossible un der such conditions that any other resnlt than that which happens could occur. Co operation with the United States is the first start toward solving this difficult problem." Faith Pinned on Snull Notes. General Saxton, in common with a good many people in this conntry, believes in the issue of 25 florins or 2 notes on a sil ver basis, while nthers still pin their faith to 1 and 10 shilling notes. Thanks to the discussions and reports in the newspapers, and to" the propaganda of the Bi-Metallic Leagne, thousands of En glishmen now take intelligent interest in the silver, question, where formerly scores displayed but a languid curiosity. This being so, and seeing that there are in the present Cabinet at least three bi-metallists more or less pronounced, the moment is singularly propitious for asking the British Government to take part in an international currency congress. If, as it is stated here, such an invitation has already been sent, it will almost certainly be accepted; and it is equally sure that a Liberal Government, which may be in power a few months hence, will have nothing to do with anything which savors of bi-metallism. Incitement in the Financial Wor'd. Some excitement prevails in the financial world over the announcement that the ' Austro-Hungarian Government has decided to proceed forthwith with a scheme of cur rency reform which will require 20,000,000 ingold o effect. As most of this will have to come from London, a special agent has been sent over to talk over the matter with Mr. Goschen, who is not in an amiable mood just now. But the agent has been in structed to meet the wishes and con veniences of the British Government and financiers as far as possible, and doubtless the desired loan will be arranged. The Daily Aran, however, thinks the agent's re ception will hardly be a cordial one. It says: In tho first place, tho present condition of -business is not .such as to make it at all de sirable to give a foreign country fresh power to withdraw gold from London. "Even if a loan were concluded on the i ontinent, Lon don would be called upon to supply the gold required. As to such silver as Austria has on hand it appears that the Government of the dual monarchy has made no definite offer to the United States Treasury, and the . proposal to sell Austrian silver in New York seems to have been put forward tentatively. In other words, it was a sporting offer, for the purpose of ollciting the views of the American Treasury in case an opportunity... to carry tnrouu tne excuange oi Austrian silver tor American gold should rise. The amount of surplus silver held iu Austria Hnnearv is believed to be between o0.UL0.000 and 50, COO, WX) florins. It is a pity that the opportnnity is not taken to introduce in stead a silver standard, but in any case the present proposition is not ono which would favor the sale of even .3OCO,O0O of silver, and it is believed that the metal will be retained for cninago into .Maria Theresa dollars by degrees. More Tots to Be Started. Twenty new pots will be started in the Charleroi plate glass factory to-day. Next Sunday 20 more will be pnt in operation.

Alexander, one of the firm, says 'their business is better than thev expected at this time of the year.
