WASII'.NOTUN, Dec. IT.—lion. A. Warner, chairman of the national executive silver committee, has called a meeting of the cciiiuiiUcc here Tuesday, .In 11 mir.v next. lien. Warner sai in his call that in view of tlie probable action of congress at its present session on the silver

Question,

the

meeting of tlie committee will be an important one. It is believed the du­

position of a majority in both houses of congress is favoruble to the reinon«tizing of silver. On the other hand, opposition to the present law has rapidly developed in the east, while antagonism to the free coinage of silver has grown more and more demonstrative.

Chinese Mu*t Keep Out.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—Acting on the information that 1.200 Chinese laborers who had been discharged by the Tehaunteper. Railroad Company were on their way to the United States Acting Secretary Spaulding has instructed the customs officials along the Mexican frontier to use extra vigilance to prevent any of them from crossing the borderline.

CHILI'S REPLY.

ller Statement lle£arUui tlio Italtiinnr. OutrucM Laid llofore Secretary of state filulMfl.

WASHINGTON-, Dee. 17.—Minister Montt had an interview with Secretary Blaine at the state department Weduesday and laid before him the statement of the Chilian government in regard to the Baltimore outrages. The statement presents tlieChilian side of the case, and undertakes to minimize the attack on the sailors. Minister Montt was very conciliatory, and the documents he laid before Secretary lfliiine were free from the offensive tone that lias marked Foreign Minister Matta. ]iut the representations lie made bore out the cablegram received Tuesday from Minister Egan which foreshadowed that the Chilian government was determined not to make reparation and would join issue as to facts. As this country cannot admit the contention of Chili that there is no outrage to makt reparation for, the next step will be to have Minister Egan formally notify the Chilian government that its reply is not satisfactory. This reply may direct Minister Egan to withdraw and diplomatic relations be broken off, but circumstances will determine whether this shall be'done at once or await the president's message to congress. This message, after giving the facts and the correspondence, wil) indicate what action the president thinks advisable on the part of congress. Meantime, the navy was never in better trim.

The members of congress do not as a rule share in the belief that war will be declared against Chili. Many of them say that it ifould be punishment enough to the little, republic to send her minister home and cut off diplomatic relations with the United States. It looks as though there might be a war in congress over the matter before any blood is shed in Chili.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.—There is no doubt among naval oflicers here that the cruiser San Francisco will leave for Chili this week. She has

1

taken on all the provisions she can hold, enough for a long cruise, and it is significant that these stores include many articles which would not be bought here if she were going to the China station. It is also a fact that, in addition to her own supplies, she takes a large amount of ammunition and balls for the Charleston's guns. The theory of the naval men is that the San Francisco will take these stores to lquiiue, where she will transfer them to the Charleston. It is supposed that the Charleston will make the direct course to Peru from Monolulu, which port she left on the 12th. It is rumored that Admiral ltrdwn has received sealed orders to sail in a few days, but this could not be confirmed.

NKW YORK, Dec. IT. Kdward M. Field passed a restless night in Ludlow street jail, lie went to bed early Tuesday evening after yartaking of tea and toast. He tossed about uneasily all night being closely watched by two keepers. The keepers say that his talk is very rational and that he acts like a min whose spirit is all broken. Dr. Fuller was his only visitor Wednesday morning. Since the news of the arrest of his son was made known to Cyrus W. Field lie has been gradnully failing and is now reported to be in a very critical condition. Dr. Fuller, who has been attending him through his illness, snid that his patient had taken a change for the worse. The physician lias given up hope of Mr. Cyrus W. Field's recovery, but thinks the end may not come for several daj's.

Tivo nl111i«ii»H (iotm.

It is now asserted on Wall street that within the last year Kdward M. Field has had intrusted to him over S3,000,000 in money, bonds and stocks: that the owners thereof have had no profit therefrom while in his hands, and that now they do not know where the money, bonds and stocks are. In other words, these people have been apparently robbed of over S3,000,000. Where it has all been placed they do not know whether Field lias put some oi most of it away, as Ferdinand Ward is supposed to have done with his gigantic stealings, they do not know and, further, they do not know whether they are ever going to got any of it back.

INIIIANAI'OI.IS. Ind.. Dee. IT.—No effort is omitted to maintain secrecy as to the doings of the baseball magnates who are here striving to stifle the competition which ma lies big salaries and small profits possible. Wednesday's developments leave no room to doubt that the league and association are tilings of the past ami in their plm-cs has been born a welve-city association. Amalgamation lias been effected, but it remains yet to settle tho amount due the old association corporations on the score of reimbursement. ltoston claims $75,00(1, Philadelphia £55,000, Columbus S'-JO.OOO, nnd Chicago it is thought should not ask more than from SI0,000 to SI5,000. Chicago, however, is putting up a demand for S'25.000. It is the settlement of this matter that, will prolong the conference. The twelve cities of the new combination are: Koston, New

York, Brooklyn. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cleveland. Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and Chicago. Columbus drops out of the list, and will probably be in the minor league that is talked of.

At the conclusion of the conference there will be a general reception held, and in the evening the delegates will be given a banquet The press convention will meet to-day.

MATTOON, 111., Dcc. 17.— Judge Horftce S. Clark is renting well, his wounds paining him but little. He is able to dictate his correspondence while bolstered up in bed. Frank liornish, who made the attempt upon his life Tuesday night, waived examination Wednesday and was taken to the county jail in Charleston. His only remark relating to the affair since his arrest was that be would have inflicted more serious if not fatal wounds on Clark had he not fought him so determinedly. A special grand jury was impaneled and an indictment for assault with intent to murder was found. Judge Wright is still sitting on the bench in Charleston and a speedy hearing of the case anticipated.

MINERS GOING TO WORK.

(Cntl of Hi,? Slrlke ill Sight—Tivn Milieu at ltnir.il, Intl., IteHiinio Work on the Oltl Term*.

HHA/.II., Ind., Dec. 17.—Nos. 8 and 10 mines will resume operations to-day. A committee of miners called on tho Krn/.il ltlock Coal Company and tusked for work af. the old price. The Sherburne Coal Company acceded to the miners' demands and resumed work Wednesday morning. The company only operates one mine, which is almost exhausted. It is claimed that this mine will be worked out in a few months and the owners thought it advisable to pay the advance and work a full force of men, with an eye to closing down the mine permanently at the earliest opportunity. It will give employment to from fifty to seventyfive men. A report reached here Wednesday that Woodruff, Drownlee & Wilton .have closed down their mine at Carbon. The cause is attributed to their inability to find a market for thyir coal. As the weather is pleasant the dotuestic trade is light and the Chicago markets arc flooded with Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky coal. Ky the closing down of this mine '200 miners are thrown out of employment. No remittance lias been received by tho miners from" their association, which I leaves hundreds of families on the verge of starvation. The miners' oflieials admit that unless assistance is soon secured tlie miners will be forced to work or starve. Matters are becoming alarming and rumors are numerous to the effect that quite a number of miners will return to work to-day. If this be true the strike is virtually ended. ....
