Oil I I.I S NAVY OFK.

NKW VOHK, Jan. 20.—The Recorder's Washington special says: "A long-dis-patch hashe'en received at the navy de partmcnt from Commander Evans. Cupt. Evans has reported to the department that four of the best, cruisers in the Chilian navy will leave Valparaiso January 20, for the straits of Magellan, with a torpedo boat besides. From another oflieer comes the additional information that the captain of one of the English ships of war in these waters snid that the Chilian commander informed him that the fleet was going "on a special mission.'' "Yon may be astonished before long," he said.

Clilli to Open the Hall llrrirlf. The news is interpreted to mean that Admiral Walker's lleet may be halted there and directed to turn back or risk a tight. This is the most serious indication of Chili's hostile intentions that the department has received. Naval oilicers say it can only mean one thing, which is (hat Chili intends opening the ball herself. The vessels to go are said to be tile Esmeralda, the Almirante Cochrane, the Pinto, a new unarmored cruiser, whose sailing rate is nineteen knots an hour, and the Condell, the famous fust torpedo boat that blew up the lilanco Kncalado.

Admiral Walker Warned.

Admiral Walker, in his flagship, the Chicago, arrived at Montevideo January 11. He was informed of what might await him and warned to make ready for it. Tor the first time there is real alarm here at the threatened danger to Admiral Walker. His squadron is not equipped with torpedoes and the Chicago might be blown up in spite of the utmost vigilance. It would be a daring and plucky attempt, but so was the successful attempt on the Blanco Kncalado.

Capt. Evans also informs the department that lie is taking the most extreme precautions on account of what lie has been told for the safety of the Yorktown. lie does not intend to be blown out of the water if he can help it.

Feeling In Washington.

WASHINGTON", Jan. 120.—News of startling naval possibilities reaches Washington, and at the same time comes the information from Minister Egan that the authorities in Santiago are coming closer to a definite proposition looking to a friendly settlement The minister's message before the cabinet meeting Tuesday was general as to the suggestions he had received from Foreign Minister l'ercira, but he has supplemented it with ail intimation of his own belief thai the prospect is impioving and tliu* it may be worth while to give further consideration to what the Montt cabinet has to say. He represents that lie is merely awaiting the proposition the foreign minister makes, and thinks it possible that the disavowal of the Malta letter may be made satisfactory.

A Natal KiiKiiKfiiieut l'i'uliilMp. While the outlook at Santiago is therefore more promising the skies are darker in Valparaiso, which praccully dictates the policy of the government. Consul McCreary has found the ugly feeling against Americans increasing. This is not so important in itself as the news that tlu Chilian naval authorities are showing a more hostile spirit than ever, and a naval engagement in the straits of Magellan within the next few days is not altogether improbable. Secretary Tracy has advices from Coinman ier Evans which make the naval outlook threatening. The Chilian fleet is undoubtedly on its way to the straits of Magellan. 1,'nclc Kiiii'm Preparations.

On the part of the United States there is no let-up in the naval preparations. It was acknowledged at the navy department Tuesday that Hear Admiral Gherardi had left Uarbadoes with the Philadelphia. bound for Montevideo. This fact tends to confirm the statement made in these dispatches that Admiral Gherardi would in all probability be nlaeed in command of the naval forces in the event of a war with Chili. It also leaked out Tuesday that the gunboat Concord, which has been with the Philadelphia at Uarbadoes, loft there a week ago for Montevideo. The fleet at Montevideo will soon thereafter be reinforced by the Newark and the Miantonoinoh, and it is expected that it will remain at Montevideo until needed for action in Chilian waters, unless another revolution should break out in Chili meantime, in which case it would sail at once for Valparaiso, in order to be available there for guarding United States interests and citizens.

The M«HRR[O Still Delayed. President. IJarrison's message and the accompanying diplomatic and naval correspondence will go to congress tomorrow, but this is not because of any reassuring news received from Chili either through Minister Egan in Santiago or through Minister Montt in Washington. "Nothing in the way cf apology or reparation has come from the South American country.

Our Stronj Militia Foree.

The reports of the strength of the inilitia in the various states have been coming in of late, although they have not been in response to any spccial request of the department but are the regular routine reports. The Illinois report was made two months ago. The New York report lias been in the hands of the department for several weeks, and its substance was made public at Albany at the time it was sent to Washington.

THE JOURNAL.

*0RAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1892.

There is hardly a state in the country, north or south, which does not make a showing of an effective militia force, well drilled, well equipped

Straits and.receiving both arms and ammtiniI tion from the federal government under the general law for the encouragement of state inilitia. Altogether it is estimated that in case of need 000,000 welldrilled and well-equipped militiamen could be brought together within thirty days, although it is calculated that not more than 100,000 men would beneeded to cope with Chili's fighting force, which at the maximum is about 30,000.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE.

The house passed a bill fixing the time for holding terms of the circuit and district courts for the western district of Wisconsin. After considerable discussion the bill providing for the printing, binding and distribution of public documents was practically killed.

In the senate Tuesday the chaplain prayed that peace may be preserved '.o this nation and to the great family of nations. The first paper presented was a report from the secretary of state (in reply to a senate resolution) as to the Mexican awards under the convention of 1 S(5s. Secretary Iilaine's report gives the full amount of the awards as S3,805,000, all of which had been paid by Mexico in fourteen aunual installments in perfect accordance with the terms of the convention. Hills were passed the erection of public buildings at Mammoth Hot Springs in the Yellowstone national park, Hastings. Neb., Mansfield. O., Norfolk, Neb., Jacksonville. 111., Fergus Falls.

The enrollcd house bill fixing times of sessions of the United States courts in the Northern district of Iowa was signed by the vice president and is the first act of the present session to go to the president for liis approval.

Sworn to Kill.

Three men residing in widely separated localities have furnished inforI mation concerning the masked men and their forecasts have always been 1 correct, proving that they have never I made guesses. While they are not ready at this time to reveal the full enormity of this criminal organization, they' have learned enough of its workings lo show that three separate oaths bind the members to obey the orders of the inner council without question, even though t.hey may be commanded to the take life of their dearest relatives.

Slxty-Fi»i, .Member*.

In the counties of llaskell, Grant, Stevens and Seward there are sixtyfive members, all of whose names have been furnished Judge ltotkin. These men are taken only from the alliance, and even then the utmost care is used in selecting proper material. The meetings are heid only at Springfield and at Woodsdale. where the three de-

appropriating funds for grees are taken. Tlireo Awful Oaths. The first degree binds the members to stand by each other in public and in private, and to defend each other at the risk of life, if necessary. The applicant is pledged, under penalty of having his residence burned and his stock and crops destroyed, never to reveal aught that may come to his knowledge concerning the actions of any member.

When taking the second degree lie swears to join any member or members in the protection of their rights and in resenting any personal affront or injury. If he fails in responding when called upon or reveals any contemplated action 011 the part of a fellow member his life may lie declared forfeited by the council to which he belongs.

It will be noticed that in these two degrees there is 110 provision for enforcing the penalty. Every member is expected to take all three degrees. In the final degree he places himself at the disposal of the inner council in life and death, lie swears to faithfully execute any orders issued him by that council. He is given to understand that the power of -this "secret order of justice" will be directed against the enemies of one or all of the organization. 'He further swears that when ordered to "destroy" any member proving trntorous, or even suspected of being such, that he will unhesitatingly obey such mandate. When called out bv the inby one member thereof.

ner

council or

lie swears to obey, holding himself in readiness at all times to join any party for the extermination of common enemies. Failing in any part of his obligations, he places his life at the disposal of his comrades.

Met Before Dunn wns Killed. It lias been learned that a meeting of this organization was held in a deserted hotel at Springfield the night before the Dunn murder at which forty-1 one men were present. There are no rituals or written work. The oaths I are administered by one of three men who are now definitely locatcd.

This information comes from one of three men who joined the society who has been spirited away to a place of safety. The other two are still in that county. They will be enabled to strengthen the evidence they already have as soon as the proper time comes. Within two weeks the plans of the prosecutor will be so fully matured that arrests will begin, when all the details will be given.

Hretuiait to Go Free.

The attorney general sent instructions to the county attorney at llngoton to enter a motion of nolle pros in case of James lircnuau, the slayer of Col. Wood, when the case comes up. liv this motion Ilrentian will be dismissed, but may at any time, when the conditions may be favorable to a fair trial, be rearrested und tried for the murder. Attorney General Ives says there is little likelihood of Hrennan ever being tried.

The Awful Fate Which Overtook a Sleighing Party.

RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN IN ST. LOUIS.

Mrurk by an Knglne at a CroHning—"lne of the Pleasure Heekern Are Klllvd ami a Number of Other* Injured.

DKATH IX FltlOllTFTI. KOUW. Sr. Lot'is, Jan. 20.—A little before 8 o'clock Tuesday evening a party of twenty-two started out for an evening of enjoyment of the sleighing furnished by the recent heavy fall of snow. Of these nine are now lying in the morgue and nearly all the rest, are in the hospital.

The Victim*.

Those dead are: James Connors. William Krone, Al Metter, Fre:1 and Gustave Neuert, Andrew Stevenson, J. C. Sehuttlc, E. Von llehren and an unknown mail. The, injured: James liarrett Dan ltrcssart, Charles Frey, two unknown men and II. Wagner. Frey had both legs broken and one of the unknown men lost an arm.

Their Joy Changed to lirlef. The party was made up of members of Cloverleaf Fishing club, a social organization of white waiters in some of the leading restaurants. They were all in one conveyance, a large fourhorse sleigh. Starting out about T:4.' p. in., after an evening's drive they went to the Delinonieo, a road house near Forest Park. Partaking of a lunch the party reassembled at 10:30 for the return home. The drive was commenced with gayet.v, but fifteen minutes later at the Sarah street crossing of the. Wabash railway the accident occurred.

How It Occurred.

A Walias'ii special train chartered by a local Legion of Honor lodge was returning from an evening spent at Ferguson, 12 miles out The train, in charge of Engineer James Blanehfield, Fireman Murphy and Conductor Robert Daltou. was moving soni- 2.1 miles an hour, tender first Owing to this last fact the engineer i:id not see the sleighing party until fairly upon them. The tender struck between the pole horses and sleigh, killing two of the horses and throwing I he occupants out of the sleigh in every direction.

Caring Tor the Vlrtlin*.

Ho great was the shock that two of the injured were afterwards found on top of the cab. The train was stopped within 300 yards of the crossing and returned lo the scene, where the Legion of Honor excursionists aided in gathering rip the dead and wounded. By this time the mounted police of the district were on hand, and taking charge they ordered the dead and wounded placed upon the train. This was done and all taken to Fnion depot, whence the wounded were taken to St. Mary's infirmary and the dead to the morgue. It is believed that at least four of the wounded will die, but their condition is now so serious as to preclude measures of identification before the surgeons are through with them.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Many People llrnwned and Trampled to Death at Tiffin, In IturtMa. ST. PiCTKlssnritG, Jan. 20.—A terrible catastrophe'occurred at Tiflis Monday on the occasion of the blessing of the River Kera. As a procession of the clergy was crossing an arm of the river on a temporary bridge the structure collapsed under the weight of the mass of people and fell with its burden into the stream. The people nearest the bridge tried to retreat, but were driven on liv the multitude behind which still pressed forward. The result was a tcrrifie struggle in which many persons were crushed to death and a large number injured. In addition a large number were drowned in the river.

The great state secretary was assisted to his carriage by Secretary Elkins and driven to his home. The family physician was summoned al once and the report given out was that Mr. Iilaine's illess was a recurrence of the attack of nausea from which he suffered on January 0, when lie was taken liotue in a critical condition from the state department

The physician who was summoned to take care of the secretary pronounced the attack of little moment It was, he said, due lo the same cause as the first—improper diet and lack of outdoor exercise. Assistant Secretary of State Wharton said that Mr. Iilaine's prostration was not at al! serious and that were the weather better the secretary would doubtless come to the department
