WMSHIPSSAILING AWAY Three of Our Vessels Bonnd for South Atlantic Waters. MAY MEET AT VALPARAISO rnder Order for Long Cruises, but on ltor.Us Which Will Not Take Them Out or Beach or Cable Com anuuteatiou. New Yoek, Nov. 8. Tha corvette Kearsage, under command of Captain Horace Elmer, left her anchorage in the East river for the West Indies. She is bouud first for St. Thomas. Just where she will sail then depends upon circum stances. She is attached to the South Atlantic squadron. Admiral Gherardi's flagship, the Philadelphia, also 6tarted for St. Thomas. The Philadelphia, it is expected, will reach there as soon as the Kearsage, and Captain Elmer will then report to Admiral Gherardi. If the Philadelphia be too late, Captain Elmer will rejiort by eiible to the navy depart ment. ' The Bitty ought to reach St. Thomas next Sunday. Developments in the Chili quarrel may lead to one or both the vessels being ordered to Valparaiso. If this be not necessary and if uo other complications arise it is quite likely that the Kearsage will follow the sailing orders issued some weeks ago. These are to cruise among the West Indies and call at points touched by Columbus. A naval officer, whose rank entitles him to the confidence of Commandant Ei-ben of the navy yard, said: "These warships are not being ordered to Cliili simply to scare somebody. It cost more than $15,000 to fit out a ship for a voy age of 14,000 miles, and they are not be ing sent away merely to keep them mov ing. Diplomacy forbids that a govern ment should show its hand too strongly. We Jiave seen the Petrel sailing from cue navy yard ostensibly from China, but there is cable communication to St. Thomas, and to Gibraltar, at both of which places she will touch. The Kear sarge sailed for the West Indies, where she also can be reached by cable, and or dered to continue on to Valparaiso. The Philadelphia sailed for St, Thomas. Keep your eye on the navy department's orders to these vessels within the next two weeks, and see if some of them are not ordered to follow the Yorktown and Boston to Valparaiso, to say nothing of the Chicago, Atlanta, Concord, Mainto noiuali. and Bennington, still at the Brooklyn yard. After election is over, we may hear some interesting Chilian news from Washington." Admiral Brown's Orders. , Washington, Nov. 3. Secretary Tracy has niadeipublic,,the instructions sent last spring to Admiral Brown, command in? the Pacific squadron at the beginning of, the Chilian disturbance. "These in structions," Secretary Tracy said, "have been rigorously adhered to throughout. In no single instance have they been de parted from. They prove conclusively that the charges of partiality made by the English newspapers are untruths, and that they have been invented in order to prejudice the Chilians against the United States for commercial pur poses." Montt Offered the Presidency. London, Nov. 3. A dispatch to The Times from Valparaiso says the presi dency has been offered to Jorge Montt, and that congress will re-open Nov, 18. All political prisoners have been re leased. The excitement is fast dying out r.nd it is lie! ieved that the government is new willing to settle all claims made by the foreigners who have been in jured. What Secretary Tracy Snys, Washington, Nov. 3. General Tracy said: "There is nothing new or alarming in the Chilian business. Everything will, I think, be satisfactorily settled. This is the general impression in this city. Our government, however, will be as conciliatory as possible in conduct ing the negotiations with the South American republic." Egan Is All Right. Washington, Nov. 3. It is authorl- tjvcly stated that no complaint has been received by the state authorities from the Chilian government of the conduct of Kgnn. and his recall has not been con sidsml by the president or the secretary if state. Reversed the Decision. Chicago, Nov. 3. On April last Spoon si' Howell, a big lumber merchant of this city, with branches at Omaha and elsewhere, turned over his property to the First National bank of this city to which he was indebted to the amount if $200,000. Later the North Wis consin Lumber company brought suit for $."0.!64, claiming that the transaction withthe First National bank was collusive and to the detriment of outside creditors. Judge Brown, before whom the case was tried, decided in favor of the Wisconsin company. The case was taken to the appellate court, which reversed that decision. The de cision is a set-back for creditors of the First National bank. Business Blocks Burned. Macon, Ga., Nov. 3. Fire destroyed the buildings on Cotton avenue occupied by Carpet & Co., boots and shoes; Dady & Co., dry goods, and T. W. White, hardware. Other buildings and stocks were damaged by fire and water.

NO MORE THRASHERS NEEDED. Farmers of the Northwest liar tha i Craln in Stack. St. Pacl, Minn., Nov. 3. The Great Northern railway company issued a fpeciul bulletin announcing that there was no further need for threshing outfits in northern Minnesota and North Da kota. Farmers with large crops in shock have taken advantage of the favorablo weather to stack tho grain. It Is now comparatively safe and can be threshed any time during the winter. A. C Lor ing, general manager of one of the big Minnesota mills, said: "Of the 500 cars of wheat rocived in Minneapolis daily 50 per cent contained damaged wheat from North Dakota. There has been just about enough sound wheat received in iuinneanous to supply me mills and the rejected wheat has made tip almost the entire built or tne gram snippea via Duluth and other points to the eastern market. There has been a strong demand for this wheat from the east. Ban Francisco' Uid. San Francisco.

The Australian Ballot Proving Satlsfac . tory, but a little Difficulty Re ported at Some riaces. Des Moines, Nov. 3. Interest in the state election is at a white heat. The registration in some precincts in this citv has been so lartre that it is almost impossible to poll the vote before closing at i o ciock. uemocrats taut or gerang out a writ of injunction to restrain the election board from closing the polls earlier than the latest hour named in the statue, which is 9 o'clock. Advices from leading cities show the existence of the same feeling that is here. Demo cratic leaders claim they hold the high water mark of two years ago in the river counties and they will make ma terial gains in the interior. Members of the Republican central committee are equally sanguine and say there is no doubt of Wheeler's election. They say the Republicans will gain in tho strong anti-prohibition counties. At Mew York. NewYobk, Nov. 3. The weather is perfect and voting was done more rap idly thr.n last year, as the new ballot law .. . is better understood. - The election in- continuance oi uiai, rate, ami soon uxwr spoctors state that the vote up to noon wards bought two entire sections of land has fallen unmercifully far behind what from the defendant and commenced his had been up to that time at other elec- , farming operations; that in the tions. year 1888 . he raised a crop of Fifty persons were arrested for at- barley on the land with a view to mar tempted illegal voting and taken befora keting the same in Chicago, but when Commissioner Davenport.

They proceeded to the Thirteenth election district snd stole the Republican box. Republican workers are bitter against the police for not protecting them. At Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Nov. 3. The weather was cold and cloudy. It was apparent that the heaviest vote ever cast in the conn-, try would have been recorded if the old Bystem of ballot was in vogue. Many working men who were at the polls could not vote without loosing half a day and dropped out. There is intense interest in the election, but the votes fall short nianv hundred from the registration list in this county owing to the process of balloting. At Omaha. Omaha, Nov. 3. The state, county and city elections aro passing off quietly, although trouble may occur liecause of the religious feeling. The anti-Catholics are allied with the Republicans. The Democrats endorsed Edgerton, Independ ent candidate, for supreme judge, and l,ia oliwHm-i ig almrwt. ndrtiiin TVia ritv vote is very close, but the Republicans have a strong majority against them to overcome.

Charles Blisch, proprietor of the Eagle hotel, in this city was shot and almost instantly killed by Betts of Brooklyn. Betts gave himselt up. It appears that Blischknew Betts in Brooklyn. As the story goes more than a year ago Betts transferred $100,000 to his wife. He says that Blisch alienated his wife's affections and she left him taking with her his children. It is surmised that part of the $100,000 which Betts transferred to his wife was given to Blisch and used in purchasing the Eagle hotel. Blisch bought the ho tel alKut ten months ago. Terrlhle Fight ut a I'nlitlral Meeting. Boone, la., Nov. 3. At a political meeting in Grant, one of the outlying townships of Boone county, about twenty miles from this city, vesterday, the Swedish Democrats were holding a polit ical meeting, which was disturbed by a lot of roughs who came for that purpose.

Sa-'ven u the charges that certain roa are secretly manipulating rates on eUbtljOUIld bUSUlOSS. I An important question to be considered at the meeting of the Western Passenger association is the establishment of a rate ( bureau in connection with the nssocia ' tion. The committee having the matter Uncharge strongly recomhiouds thees ' tublisliinent of such a bureau. I General Passenger Agent Pond, of tho i Wisconsin Central, has applied for au thority to quote short line rates from Duluth to southern points via Ashland. Objection is made by the Omaha line, which holds that the Wisconsin Central should make rates on the basis of the Kansas City rate. Chairman Finley has referred the matter to the Northwestern committee for settlement. Did Not Discriminate. Chicago, Nov. 3. The interstate com merce commission has just promulgated an important opinion in the case of Daniel Buchanan againt the Northern Pacific Railroad company, the latter le ing charged with making excessive rates on wheat and barley. Tiie complainant claimed that in the month of June, 1883, he came from Wisconsin and looked over the situation in the vicinity of the place where he ultimately located with a view to investing in farm lands, and having ascertained that the freight rate on grain from Ritzville to Duluth and St. Paul was 40 cents per 100 pounds, and that as this rate was established and maintained in the complete absence of competition, and in the presence of little , business, he bases his calculations on the . . O i t. i i'i the same time the rSia on wheat had been advanced to 45 cents; that at the time of bringing the complaint the rato on barley was 50 cents ana on wheat 50 cents; that these advanced rates were un just, unequal, unreasonable, and oppres sive, and absorbed all the profits he ex pected to derive from investing in the land. The commission decides that the de fendant was justified in changing its rates and that it is a just and reasonable charge, We Are a Riding People New York, Nov. 8. The Street Rail way News of this city, in its issue of this week will call the attention to the re markable increase in urban rapid transit facilities as shown by the annual ad dress of President Watson at the recent convention at Pittsburg of the Ameri can Street Railway association. These figurs show that in 1889 only 470 cities in the United States possessed rapid transit facilities. Now there is not a city with a population of 10,000 or over without its street railroad. Nunspiipers' Rights. Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 3. In the case of Elizabeth K. Sherwood vs. the ; Chicago and West Michigan railroad j company a decision has been handed down by the supreme court of Michigan. The newspapers published the tact that a verdict for $13,000 had lw?en given in tho first trial of the case while the second trial was in progress, and the counsel for the defense moved to have the pub lishers committed for contempt. Tiie court denied the motion and the second I triil1 t'nled ul a verdict for the plaintiff for $15,000. The supreme court in its decision affirming the verdict of tho lower court holds that the newspapers have a right to publish verdicts and judgments rendered in courts, and de clares that no matter how prejudicial it ' may be to publish them at the time of trial no violation or tno law is committed in ao doing. The decision further states that that the reading of such informa tion by jurors does not render them incompetent.- Relllcose ltrothers-ln-Law. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 8. A street ; eht between brothers-in-law resulted in the wounding of four men. The streets were filled with people when Ambrose Polvgroves and Jerry Williams met.
