Gilroj Says McClure Isn't Tosted on Ketr
Tork Politics, and
CLEVELAND CANNOT CAERT TOE STATE
Milwaukee, March 14. Hon. Edward
S. Bragg, author ofthe famous phrase "Wo
love him for the enemies he has made,"
has been urging ex-President Cleveland to
make public avowal of his position in con
nection "with the approaching Democratic
Presidental convention. Under date of
March 5 he wrote a letter to Mr. Cleveland
from Fond du Lac, containing the follow ing
paragraph:
The danger to the public interests which a
failure of tlie Democratic party would In
volve seems to n now to require the open
avowal of your willingness to submit to any
service to which j our party and the people
may assign you. Many entertain fears that
you may decline further public duty, which
none but you can effectually remove, and
your voice v ill everywhere be heard with
benefit and effect. I believe your useful
ness to the nation may bo greater now than
ever In the past to carry to victory the
cause of tariff 1 cform and to restore the
blessings of good government to our pcoDle;
and as your fellow Democrat and fellow cit
izen, I ask you to say to your party and the
people that your name may be presented to
the National Democratic Convention as a
candidate for its nomination to the Presi
dency, and that you will accept the nomina
tion if the convention shall make it, and
again undertake the duties of President, if
the people shall, as I believe they will,
choose you for that office
The Answer of 31r. Cleveland.
In reply tho Ex-President writes as fol
lows: Lakewood. X. J., March 9, 1S32.
Hon. Edward S. Bragg:
Mr Dear Sin Your letter or tho 5th in
stant is received. I havo often thought
until now that I might continue silent on
the subjects which, under the high sanction
of your position as my "fellow Democrat and
fellow citizen," and in your relation as a
true and trusted friend, you present to me.
If, in answering your questions, I might
only consider my personal desires and. my
individual ease and comfort, my response
would be promptly made and without the
least reservation or difficulty. Bet if you
are right in supposing that the subject is re
lated to a duty I owe to the country and to
my party, a condition exists which makes
such private and personal consider
ations entirely irrelevant. I cannot
however, refrain from declaring to you
that my experience in the great office of
President of the United States has so im
pressed me with the solemnity of the trust
and its awful responsibilities that I cannot
bring myself to legard a candidacy for tho
place as something to ba won by per
sonal strife and activo self-assertion.
The Presidency the People' Office.
I have also an idea that tho Presidency Is
pre-eminently the people's office, and I have
been sincere in my constant advocacy of tho
effective participation in political affairs on
the part of all our citizens. Consequently,
I believe the people should be heard in tne
choice of their party candidates, and that
they themselves should make nominations
as directly as is consistent with open, lair
and full organization and methods.
I speak of these things solely for tho pur
pose of advising you that my conception of
the nature ot the Presidental office and my
conviction mat tue voters oi our party
should be free m the selection of their can
didates preclude the possibility of my lead
ing and pnshing a self-seeking canvass for the
Presidental nomination, even if I bad a de
Sire to be again a candidate.
Believing that the complete supremacy
ot Democratic principles means increased
national prosperity and tho increased happi
ness of our people, I am earnestly anxious
lor the success of the party. I am confident
success is Mill within our reach, but I be
lieve this is a time for Democratic thought
lulness and deliberation, not only as to can
didates, hut concerning party action upon
questions of immense interest to patriotic
and intelligent voters ofthe land who watch
lor the assurance of safety as tho price of
theii confluence and support.
Yours very truly,
GnoVEB CI.EVELAMJ.

Who Can't Carry New York.
Atlanta, Ga., March 14. Thomas F.
Gilroy, Commissioner of Public "Works of
the City of Xew Tork, and one of Tam
many's leaders, was asked to-day his opinion
concerning the statement ot Colonel A. K.
McClure, that Hill cannot carry New York
if nominated.
''I have just seen it," 6aid he, "in the
Associated Press dispatches, and my com
ment on it is that Colonel McClure is a
poor judge of Xew York politics. He lives
in a city which has been steadily increas
ing its Kcpublicin majority, while the
State, ot whose politics he knows appar
ently so much, has been constantly increas
ing in Democratic strength. Tlie Demo
cratic nominee, whoever he may be, with
the possible exception of Cleveland, will
carry Xew York."
QUAY ON TOP IN CLABIOK.
The Senator' Candidates for Delegate
Chosen and Dalzell's Are Lett.
Claijion, March 14. Special The Ee
publicans held a harmonious convention
here to-day. The returns of Saturday's
primaries were counted and resulted in the
nomination of Frank L. Shallenberger for
delegate to the National Convention, sub
ject to the district conference. M. Arnold,
his contestant, is said to have been the Dal
zell representative in the county, and so far
the Quay men seem to be on top, the repre
sentatives to the State Convention, T. C
"Wilson and Mr. Shallenberger, both being
strong adherents of the Beaver statesman.
The issue lay in the Clarion postoffice
fight of the past few months, Dalzell and
Quay men having taken strong opposite
sides on the question, and the convention
of to-day puts the Dalzell men to the rear.

THIRD PARTY MACHINERY ,
And How to Set It Up Detailed In a Circular
Trom the Secretary at tho Peopled
Tarty A Warning Against Primaries
Packed by the Outsiders.
Milwaukee, March 14. The following
document, addressed to "The People," was
issued from the Secretary's office of the
People's party to-day:
Tho call issued by the joint committee Tor
a national convention to nominate candi
dates for President and Vice President, em
anating from tho great industrial conference
held in St. Louis Fcbruaiy 22, and tho Na
tional Central Committee of tho People's
party, to be held in Omaha on tho 4th day of
July, contains the following request:
TVe urge that all citizens who support these de
mauds shall meet on the last Saturday in March
next In their respective towns and villages, bold
public meetings ratify these demands and take
steps to organize, preparatory to electing delegates
to a National Convention.
Tho Executive Committee wonld respect
fully ask that all the people who believe in
our principles earnestly attend and meet In
their cities, towns and villages, In halls,
lodgerooms or schoolhouses, to ratify the
work of the great conference and assist in
carrying out the progamme as indicated in
the tame. This is a movement of the people,
by the people and for the people, and they
must take charge of the work. We submit
tho following suggestion:
How to act the Machinery in Motion,
First In the meetings of Saturday, March
28, to ratify the work or the couference,form
local organizations, appoint a committee of
thteo (unless one alieady exists), which
should meet at the county scat as early as
possible and not later than April 16 The
duty of this committee shall bo to -fix tho
time, place and basis of representation for
the county convention.
Second Said committees, when they meet
Jointly in their respectUe county seats,shall
also select a committee of three from each
county (unless such a committee already
exists), whose duty It sfrall be to confer
v 1th a Hire committee from all other coun
ties belonging to the same legislative and
congressional district, tor the pnrpose of
nxing time, place ana oasis ox representa
tion to hold legislative and congressional
convention .
Thhd We also urge that tho Execntlvo
Committee ot each State meet as early as
convenient and fix time, place and basis of
representation for holding a State Conven
tion and designate how the delegates from
their State to the Rational Convention shall
be chosen.
Fourth When delegates are selected to
the Nntional Convention their names and
postoffico address should be forwaided im
mediately to Robert Schilling, Milwaukee,
Secretary of the National Committee, so that
he will be able to prenarc a roll of States be
fore the convention meets.
A Warning Against Packed Primaries.
Fifth We caution the people to tafce gieat
care in selecting delegates to the Congres
sional, State and National Conventions.
Select no one unless he is known to be true to
our causa. Take men who have been tried
and not found wanting. We have already
received word from New York and Pennsyl
vania that the old parties intend to pack
our j-rtmnsies, select delegates to the State
and National conventions who are not in
sympathy with our cause, and who will go
tneie tobrins confusion and name objection
able candidates. It Is also very important
that each State should have a full delega
tion at the National Convention, and for this
purpose we urgo that at all meetings called
to select delegates to the National Conven
tion, and before such delegates are selected,
a collection be taken up to defray the ex
penses of those who are unable to go on
their own account.
Sixth We again urge upon you the neces
sity of pushing the woik. To do this money
must be raised. Therefore, we kindly and
earnestly ask them that when meeting in
primal capacity on Maich 26 to ratify the
worK uone uy tue great conierence, a col
lection be taken up to promulgate our
cause Let the donations irom each indi
vidual bo ever so small, if each on'i will as
sist a little it will collects ely amount to a
great deal. Forward all money to M. C
Ranrrln, Terre Haute, Ind., who will receipt
for same.
We also ask the reform press to push tho
work through the columns of their papers
as much as Dossiblc It will not do to stop
or to flinch now. We must not yield a
single point or retreat an Inch from the po
sition we have taken. Tnu is a fight for
our country, our flag and our homes. In
which every producer is equally interested.
BAYARD'S WARNING.
He Sees Democratic Disaster In the Party's
Silver Policy Free Coinage the Worst
Step That Could Be Taken Earnest and
Patriotic Advice.
"Wilmisgton, Del., March 14. Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard has addressed an open
letter to the Democrats of the country upon
tho question of free silver coinage, in the
course of which ho says:
In proportibn to the gravity of publio
question", plain and candid utterances be
come the duty of an American citizen. I
havo watched with increasing apprehension
the legislation of Congress in relation to
the coinage of silver, and from the very
flrt have deplored and opposed the false
position assumed by the Government in
1S73, for the first time in its history, of enter
ing tne market as a purchaser of silver
bullion, and forcing its coinage as money
and as an unlimited legal tender at a nomi
nal value behind its intrinsicand real value.
Natural laws, the laws of demand and
supply and the right of private contract,
propeily and justly control the presence or
absence of gold and silver, and statutes
arbitrarily replacing these laws will be
alwnjs maleucient and creative of con
fusion and disaster in the business
of mankind. These truths are plainly
written on the face of history
and all human experience. Their denial
or rejection will be met by speedy proof of
their necessary and inexorable acceptance.
If those who now propose to deny
them and being possessed of the
temporary repreentatlvo power shall
assert by the pasage of a statute their
power to create a value In the metal of sil
ver, or any other commodity, and enforce
Its freo and unlimited coinage at a ratio of
value as compared to gold far above the in
trinsic value altered by the prices
current in every market in the civ
ilized world, they will soon find them
selves and their follow era face to lace with
the "opinions of mankind," that tribunal to
which our forefathers so solemnly appealed
when they struck the shield of the arbitrary
power of a British king and his ministry and
declared for liberty and independence.
With such a flood set In motion what
must become of tho carefully conceived
power of onr present gold reserve of
$100,000,000, expressly set apart for tho single
and special end of maintaining free
competition and tho lnterconvortlblllty of
the two precious metals a fund, be it re
membered, bousht and paid for by the sale
of Government bonds upon which interest
has ever since been regularly paid.
Can this angle bulwark, which has
been ttio great faction in maintain
ing the unquestionable confidence in
every dollar in the bands of the men,
women and children of the land, withstand
the current of demand for gold when it has
reached a premium, and the panic that is
sure to follow.
I would be unfaithful to my party affilia
tions and unreniiudtul of my duty to my
country if I aid not warn the Democratic .
advocates of free silver coinage to beware
lest by their action they impair and
weaken public confidence in the wisdom
and conservatism of the organization of
which they are members, and thereby de
crease the dangers and evils of the continued
ascendancy and control of a political party,
proven by its record in the last Congress to
be sectional in its objects and purposes,
mercenary throughout its organization, and
regardless af the consideration of our Gov
ernment whenever power is to be obtained
or perpetuated by its violation.

Eminent English Financiers Interested in

STARTING OUT WITH JUST $3,000,000
fSPICIAL TTISOBAII TO im DISPATCH.
Chicago, Marchll "The Transatlantic
Morteage and Securities Trust, Limited,"
is the name of another colossal financial
syndicate, the organization of which has
just been perfected here by the signing of
papers to which the names of some of Eng
land's greatest financiers .had previously
been attached. It is the first syndicate ever
formed with a purely American board
which will first pass upon all American in
vestments and which will control the oper
ations ofthe concern in this country.
The nominal capital of the new syndicate
is 15,000,000, but it has practically un
limited resources behind it,-and it is the
intention of the founders to draw upon
those resources whenever a promising in
vestment justifies. Tho Marquis of Twee
dale is the head and front of this syndicate,
and among the foreigners associated with
him are Sir John Pender, Gerald Balfour, R.
W. Duff.member of Parliament; Wm.Fwlay
son, of Glasgow, Edwin, Guthrie, of London
and Manchester; "Walter W. Gray, of Bres
tonkirk, N. B.; J. Dunham Massey, of
London; G. B. Wieland, of Edinburgh;
"W. P. Fullerton and "William Jackson, of
London, and Robert Fowley, formerly of
the Anglo-American Packing Company, of
Chicago, but now of London. Nearly every
man in the list is worth a million, while
several ore worth a great deal more.
Prominent American Fonndors.
Among the American founders are Direc
tors Calvin Goddard, President ot the Chi
cago and Southside Rapid Transit Company,
better known as the Alley L Road; , W. A.
Newell, general manager of the Home Life
Insurance Company; Gilbert Montague,
flour and grain dealer; Charles H. Kinsman,
formerly of the wholesale firm of Gray,
Kingman & Collins; H. C. Speer, the
banker, and Frank S. Weighley,.of the law
firm of "Weighley, Bulkley & Gray.
The bankers are the Commercial Bank of
Scotland, with its branches in London
and Scotland, and in all probability
the First National Bank of Chicago. The
solicitors abroad are Messrs. Ashurst, Mor
ris, Crisp & Co., and in this country the
firm ot which Mr. "Weighley is the
senior member. Messrs. Jackson, Gourley,
Taylor nd Macrae, of London and Glasgow,
are the auditors, and the offices of the con
cern are at 31 Lombard street, London, and
in the Home Insurance building in Chicago.
The trust is incorporated under the com
panies acts, 1862-1890, whereby the liability
of each shareholder is limited to the amount
of his share, and tlie capital of 1,000,000 is
divided into 100,000 shares, ot 10 each,
with power to increase and issue debentures.
There has been considerable trouble in com
pleting the American board. In several
cases heavy Chicago capitalists had agreed
to put their names to certain documents,
but at the last moment were compelled to
refuse because of legal proceedings tying
up their available securities.
Only Spot Cash of Any Weight.
One crentleman had atrreed to sien at 3
o'clock on a certain day, but several hours
before the time set he was served with a
notice of injunction that drove him to the
hypothecation of nearly 52,000,000 in bonds
and other securities. The transactions with
the American board have all been on a cash
basis, and in no case has any representative
save spot cosh carried weight
It is set forth in the prospectus of the -new
corporation 'that it is founded for the
purpose of associating British and American
capital in a selection of investments which
can be obtained in the United Kingdom,
America, and elsewhere, through the
co-operation of its directors and share
holders, but the real meat and true index to
where the new corporation will operate
is in the following: "In the Central and
"Western States of America high rates of in
terest prevail; their growth and prosperity
and the increase of population should afford
a continuance of the great development of
industrial enterprises which has hitherto
been so remarkable."
Under the contracts now signed, sealed
and delivered the American business will
be submitted to the investigation and ap
proval of the American board, whose super
vision and experience, are regarded as in''
valuable in the selection of investments tor
the corporation, but no business will be
carried out by them except within the
limits authorized by the London directors
or under their sanction.
A New Plan of Procedure.
This is on a different plan trom that fol
lowed by the foreign financial syndicates up
to the present, as heretofore the bulk of the
heavy transactions have been direct. The
nef pjan is supposed to establish a bond of
sympathy between the foreign capitalists
and the great American public, through thev
meuinm ot tne American board.
The corporation will also undertake trusts
and agencies of every description; the issu
ing and guaranteeing of capital tor com
panies; American municipal tramway,
waterworks and other loans: the conversion
of industrial businesses into joint stock
companies; the negotiations and guarantee
ing of mortgages and other investments as
to both principal and interest and other
objects of a financial character, and while
acting as trustees for debenture holders and
as agents for the payment of dividends and
interest on stocks, shares, debentures and
"other securities, the corporation will also
seek to secure participation in issues, syn
dicates and other financial combinations
which furnish a large and rapidly increas
ing field for thq profitable employment of
money and credit, thus combining the
classes of business tranacted by such well
known companies as the following: The
Assets Realization Company, Limited,
London and New York; Investment Corpor
ation, Limited; Municipal Trust Company,
Limited; The Manchester Trust, Limited;
The Trnstees,Executors and Securities Insur
ance Corporation, Limited; The Debenture
Corporation, Limited, and the 'Realization
Debenture Corporation of Scotland, Limited.
A Comprehensive Combination.
In this respect the corporation is one of
the most comprehensive ever formed. 'It
can buy and hold a house and lot on some
back alley, or invest in submerged lands
down in Florida, but anyone with any
knowledge of the men behind it will never
Buspect it of such intentions. The real
object is to secure control of gilt
edge American properties, including
manufacturing establishments, steam and
street railroads, gas and water plants, eta,
and local gossip has it that the wires are
already laid for the absorption of certain
valuable Chicago franchises, the owners of
which, have been looking for purchasers.
It is not definitely known that the Chi
cago Compressed Air Company people have
been hawking the exceedingly valuable
franchise recently granted them, but it is
rumored that Promoter Bacon has had sev
eral satisfactory conferences with members
of the American Board, and that while no
contracts have been signed, certain verbal
agreements' have been entered into. No
one save the parties interested is in a posi
tion to say what these agreements are, but
enough is known of Mr. Bacon to justify
the statement that he understands the value
ofthe ordinance which the cltv council and
the mayor presented a few weeks since.
It is known that the members of the
American board have made careful and ex
pert inquiry concerning the Lake street L
road, and It is believed that that is one of
the first investments it will undertake.

organization of 'the corporation a

Mnrderer Ilanged In Sight ol the Temple
of Justice.
SPBDfGFIEiiD, MO., March 14. A mur
derer lynched and a deputy sheriff shot
dead are the work of an infuriated mob at
Forsythe, Taney county, lasti Saturday.
The murderer was John Bright, who shot
and killed his wife in cold blood last Thurs
day, and the deputy sheriff was 'Charles
"Williams.' Bright was exceedingly jealous
of his wife. One morning the children,
fonnd the dead body of their mother and
gave the alarm. A search for the murderer
was commenced. Ho was arrested Friday
and was jailed at Ozar station. His pre
liminary hearing was set for the next day at
Forsythe.
"When court was opened there was no in
dications of mob violence. The court room
was crowded, and tho preliminary
hearing was proceeding qnietly, when
a mob of about 100 men sur
rounded the building in which court
was being held. A deputation of 25 men
was sent into the court room for the
prisoner. As they made their appearance,
with arms drawn, a panic ensned, and most
of the spectators beat a hasty retreat. The
prisoner was in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Charles Williams. The spokesman of the
deputation demanded that he be turned
over to them. "Williams refused and tried
to reason with them. The Justice of the
Peace before whom the hearing was being
held, alss pleaded with them to respect the
law. The deputation, however, insisted.
Still "Williams declined to give up his man.
Finally, the delegation, spurred on by
shouts of impatience and cries of "Hang
him," "Lynch him," from the mob without,
made a rush for Bright and his guard.
"Williams drew his brace of revolvers and
was about to fire when a rifle shot rang out,
and he fell dead at the prisoner's feet. The
shot had penetrated his heart. The rest of
the work ofthe mob was quickly done..
Bright was quickly seized and
dragged out ot the court room.
He was given no opportunity
to confess or deny the charge against him,
or to say a last word. A rope was placed
around his neck; one end was swung over
the limb of a tree, 100 hands grasped the
other end, and in a moment more the mur
derer's body hung lifeless in view ot the
court. The coroner will investigate.
ANOTHER WARSHIP LOST.
The United States Steamer Alliance Buns
Foul of a Breakwater in Yokohama Har
borToss Unable to Pall Her Off Ad
miral Belknap on Board.
San Fkancisco, March 14. Among the
passengers by the Oceanic was Rear Ad
miral George E. Belknap, U. S. N. Rear
Admiral Harmony, who succeeded Rear
Admiral Belknap, started out from the
moorincs in Yokohama harbor on the
United States steamer Alliance to see the
last of his comrades and incidentally a sere
nade was to be given before the warship and
the may steamer parted company. The sere
nade did not take place, however, as the Al
liance went stem on to the breakwater now
being built at the entrance to Yokohama
harbor, and stuck nard and fast.
As the Oceanic steamed away the barge
with 40 men from the British man-of-war
Mercury and three tugs were trying to pull
the. Alliance oft, but apparently were not
succeeding. The chances were that her
back would break when the tide went out.
She was under the command of Captain
Felix McCurley, and Lieutenant Mcintosh
was the navigating officer. Rear Admiral
Harmony, who has just assumed command
of the station, was on board with his staff,
and the vessel was to accompany the
Oceanic to sea and there give Rear Admiral
Belknap a farewell salute. "The man-of-war
was to, pilot the wav, and, in order to keep
ahead, Lieutenant Mcintosh took a short
cut, and in a few minutes was piled up on
the breakwater.
When spoken to about the matter, Ad
miral Belknap confined himself to the as
sertion that he thought the Alliance would
be gotten off. He did not want to talk
about it. The Alliance is a wooden bark
rigged steamer, built in Norfolk, "Va., in
18T5. She .is 185 feet long, 35 broad and
14 deep. She carried four nine-inch and
one eight-inch muzzle loaders.

also reported that several other naval ves
sels would be sent to join the Baltimore and
assist the revenue cutters in protecting the
seals from the fleet of poachers already un
der way for the sealing grounds.
Such a policy on the part of the adminis
tration would be in touch with 'the senti
ment expressed in executive session of the
Senate this afternoon. When the report of
the joint commission was sent in, showing
that the English and American experts
who visited the seal islands agreed
that the seal life on the isl
and is being rapidly diminished by the
hand of man, nearly every Senator who
spoke on the subject advocated the policy
of sending a fleet of ships into Bering Sea
with as little delay as possible, to protect
the seal-bearing animals from slaughter by
poachers.
Both Governments Interested.
Senator Faulkner, of West Virginia, is
credited with saying that the United States
are equally interested in protecting the
seals, as Americans catch them and English
men cure tiie skins. In view of
these facts both Governments ought
to be willing, he thinks, to join in
any reasonable scheme calculated'
to protect the seals. If England is not
willing to offer her share of protection, then
the United States should go right ahead and
do her duty, leaving England to abide the
consequences.
Several navarofEcers who were spoken to
on this subject to-night, said they had re
ceived no official information as to the
movement of war ships in the direction of
Bering Sea, but there is a general feeling
that such action on the part of the United
States would go a long wav toward a final
adjustment ot the seal fisheries.
When Secretary Tracy was interviewed
on this subject to-night by The Dispatch
reporter, he gave an emphatic denial ot the
report relative to the Baltimore's alleged
mysterious orders. In a reply to a direct
question, whether the Baltimore had been
ordered to Bering Sea under nominal orders
to China, he said:
Secretary Tracy's Denial.
"It is a mistake. There is absolutelv no
fonndation for such a rumor. The Balti
more has not been ordered in that direction,
and there is no intention of sending
her there. On the contrary, Ad
miral Brown has been ordered
in command of the Baltimore, to sail for
Honolulu, almost in the opposite direction,
and on no account will she go skirmishing
around in the neighborhood of Vancouver
Island. More than that, no other vessel
has been as yet ordered into that neighbor
hood. "What do I think of the propriety of hav
ing some of our war vessels in that locality?
Well, I don't think anything about that
point, Just now. We are all waiting for
Salisbury's answer to the President's last
letters touching the renewal of the
modus vivendi. All will depend on that an
swer. At present the Navy Department is
very dull. Nothing doing of especial in
terest. The department has no news to
night of any movements of British vessels
or fleets." ,
Cannot Credit the Denials.
Other officials of the State and Navy
Departments add their denials to that of
Secretary Tracy. Several of the naval
officers, howe ver those who do not occupy
places requiring them to maintain absolute
silence on diplomatic questions are in
clined to believe that preparations are now
under way for fitting out naval vessels for
Bering Sea duty. Thejr remember that during
the recent troubles with Chile, Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Soleyand other men in
charge of department business denied vig
orously and persistently that active prepara
tions for war were in progress, when they
were perfectly well aware that the entire ,
Department was on a complete war footing.
Navy officers are as patriotic and enthu
siastic now at the prospect of a war with
England as they were then at the promise
of war with Chile. They think also, now as
then, that official denials of Warlike pre
paration must be taken with large grains of
allowance.
The Seals to Be Protected.
It is very well known to everybody
in Washington that President Harrison has
determined to protect the seals by policing
the Bering sea waters in case Lord
Salisbury persists in his refusal
to renew the modus vivendi. To
do this the President must send more ves
sels north than the revenue cutters which
have been relied urftm informer years, and
of course must call upon the navy for ships.
The language of Secretary Tracy's state
ment, moreover, that "no vessels have yet
been ordered in the direction of Bering
Sea," is significant as indicating that
such orders are contemplated. The
Secretary appears to have disposed
of the Baltimore by sending her to Hono
lulu, but there' are other cruisers that could,
and perhaps will be, pressed into service.
The United States steamship Theti?,
which has been surveying of! the coast of
Lower California, has arrived in San Diego,
and will be ordered, to San Francisco, to be
fitted out for service in Bering Sea.
A telegram from "San Francisco says:
The same activity that prevailed at Mare
Island Navy Yard during the discussion of
the Chilean affair has been revived by
the reason of the Bering Sea controversy,
and every indication points strongly to the
fact that the United States proposes to send
immediately North all the available naval
vessels on the Pacific coast station.
