The result is said to be due. in part, to political intlaenco bronght to bear upon the mine-owners by the lories, who are particularly anxious at this time to avoid labor troubles as much as possible, and also to avoid atiy issue likely to raise the question of mining royalties, which the Radicals are disposed to press upon the public.

WANTED TO DKOWX HI SI. UanJred Chicago Gamine Attempt Drive & Chinaman Into tha Lake. five to Chicago. Jaa. 1. Five hundred boys, armed with tin horns, attempted to drive a Chinaman, Lee Wab, into the lako a little after 12 o'clock this morning. The boys had obtained the horns to assist in welcoming in the new year, but seeing Lee Wan at the intersection of State and Madison streets one of the merry-makers thrust a horn to the Chinaman's ear and blew a blast. Lee retaliated by smashing the horn. The corner is the most central point in the city, and seemingly in a twinkling half a thousand boys with horns had gathered and vociferously crowded the frenzied Lee. A voice in the crowd shouted. "Kill the heathen;" another, "Throw him in the lake." All were anxions for excitement, and scarcely had the latter proposition been made before it was being shouted over and over by hundreds. The Chinaman started to run south on State street, but was quickly flanked and driven east on Madison toward the lake. Hatleas. and with pisr-tail and robes Hying in the wind, the Chinaman dashed across the lake-front commons, straight toward the piers. The mob almost bad its hands on him within Ulty feet of the choppy waves, when a rapidly passing . suburban train was boarded by the Celestial. lie was eeen to jump oit on the other side, and either fell into the water or took refuge in the labyrinth of freight trains near at hand.

EIGHT OF ASYLUM IN CHILI

Incident in Valparaiso Showing IIow Cicely Minister Egan Is Guarded. Testimony ia ths Baltimore's Crew Harder Case Still Being Taken English Sailors Afflicted with Deadly Black Vomit. DELATED CHILIAN NEWS. Testimony Concerning the Attack on the Baltimore's Sailors Ulnlster Egan'i llefusjees. Valparaiso. Dec L The United States gun-boat Yorktown arrived here on Nov. SO. She saluted the Chilian flag and also the admiral of the German squadron on enterins pore She anchored close to the Haitimore, abont a mile off shore. Her commander. Captain Evans, intends to send his men ashore on liberty within a few days, but the Intendente will be requested first to afford them police protection. There seems to be nothing here at the present time to indicate the necessity of having a large American squadron in Chilian waters. Owing to the pressure which was brought to bear by the United States government, the Chilian authorities are making a more searching investigation of the attack on the Baltimore's sailors in October 'Jast This investigation is still in progress before the judge of the Court of Crimes in Valparaiso. Captain Schley was requested to send his men before the court to give their testimony, and the condition which he imposed, that one of his officers attend the proceedings and act as interpreter for the American sailors, was accepted. Lieut. McCrea. of the Baltimore, who is familiar with the Spanish language, has been in constant attendance at the court The principal dispute has been ever the character of the wound received by Riggins, one of the victims. The Americans have claimed that he was shot and killed by a noliceman, and the testimony of a comrade named Johnson, who was with Rig gins at the time, shows that a . policeman advauced upon the men with a ride in his hand and tire at them twice. Kiggins was then insensible from a knife wound and Johnson was carrying him to a drug store. One ball from the policeman's rifle passed through the collar of Johnson's shirt and entered Kiggins'a neck, killing him instantly. Tho shot was tired at such close range that Johnson's shirt was powderburned. The Chilian cfScialsbave claimed that the appearance of Johnson's clothing indicated that the shot had been tired from a revolver, while the police were armed only with rifles and bayonet swords. Dr. Stitt, of the Baltimore, made 6ome experiments by firing at a piece of cloth at close range with a ride and revolver. " The result of this experiment was laid before the court yesterday, and the appearance of' the cloth which had been fired at with a ride corresponded exactly with the appearance of Johnson's clothing. Both Dr. White and Dr. Stitt, of the Baltimore, have described before the court the character of the wounds received by the men, and have shown that a number of the wonnds were made by the bayonets carried by the police, and the testimony of the men themselves shows that the police did use that weapon on them. There has been nothing of special importance at Santiago for several weeks past. A flairs at the American legation thre are practically in the same condition as they have been since the close of the vrsr in August last. The Chilian government has given no intimation that it intends to release the refngees or grant them safe conduct. An incident occurred a few days ago which shows with what zeal tho refugees are beiug watched. One of the men who had been living at the American legation Tor several months left there last week and went to his home, which is only two doors from the legation. The spies around the legation discovered this, and, while they made no immediate attempt to arrest him, they blockaded his bouse to Ere vent his escape. A few mornings ago e received a friendly call from a member of the Chamber of Depnties who is a supporter of tho present government. "As the "Depnty wasn leaving the house be was arrested by a spy in front of the door. The man informed him that he was a spy and that he had orders to mmke the arrest. All mom hers of Congress in Chili are exempt from arrest and the Deputy immediately retaliated by arresting the soy. A half dozen other spies came to bis assistance and quite a disturbance arose, but the Depnty established bis identity and gave his prisoner in charge of a policeman, who took him to the station, where the disposition that was made of him is not known. A few hours later the man who had left his asylum at the legation requested Minister Kgan to escort him hack. But Minister Egan notified him that he had left tho legation voluntarily and he was nnable to escort' him back to it. as tho right of asylum did not extend that far. Thanksgiving day was observed by the American Bailors in Valparaiso bay by a number of boat-races and a dinner given aboard the Baltimore to tho competing crews of the Preneb men-of-war. The Baltimore and three French vessels were the only men-of-war in port at the "time, and invitations were not extended to the Chilian ships to take part in the races, but at the invitation of Captalu Schley the commanders of the Cochrane and the Esm eralda and several other Chilian naval officers went aboard the Baltimore and witnessed the sport. The Americans won three races and the Frenchmen one. There were also a number of games aboard tho Baltimore, and afterwards about five hundred American and Frenoh sailors had a Thanksgiving dinner in the mess-room. The Capltan Prat's Armament Not Ready. Paris, Jan. I. Scnor Matte, the Chilian minister to France, states in response to an inquiry by the correspondent, that it will be impossible to supply the new Chilian cruiser, the Capitan Prat, with bor armament complete, in less than four or five months. The Charleston Will Take on Ammunition. San Diroo, Cal., Jan. 1. The Charleston entered the harbor to-day. She came direct from Honolulu to San Diego, and did not call at Acapulco, as expected. To-morrow she will take ammunition held for her by the cruiser San Francisco, and will then wait for further orders from Washington. Would Assist Uncle Sain. Panama, Dec. 25. A Lima dispatch to the Star and Herald says that, in the event of war with Chili, the United States would surely have the active support of Peru, as well as Bolivia. BLACK VOMIT AND SMAIX-FOX. Terrible Havoo of the Two Diseases Among Sailor and Kmlgraatt at Santos. London, Jan. 1. Lord Salisbury received to-day a special cable dispatch from her Majesty's consul at Ssntos, confirming the recent alarming reports in regard to the terrible state of at! airs there growing out of the ravages of combined yellow fever and small-pox. Eighteen captains of merchant vessels have died either from the blsck vomit or small-pox within two months. On some vessels the entire ship's company, officers and crew, have perishod from these awful maladies. Seven sailors died in the streets, so quickly fatal has been the shafts of disease. It is estimated that at least two-thirds of the persons attacked have died. The great majority of the victims aro emigrants and sailors. The consul writes that a much greater mortality than now exists is looked for during ths hot months of January and February. AMERICANS IN PERIL. Foreign Missionaries Along the Tangtse River Living In Fear of an Uprising. 8an Francisco, Jan. 1. Letters from China received by the steamer Oceanio show that the foreign missionaries along tho Yangtso river are in extreme peril. The Chinese soldiers and common people at open perU. the former especially, are very aggressive toward ths foreliaexa, paxtleur

larly at and above Hankow. At Ichang all the residents, except the customs staff, are living in boats. Outward tranquillity at those ports is only secured by the presence of foreign men-of-war. There can be little question that it will be necessary to make some open display of an intention to use force, which will overawe the tnrbnlent soldiery, in order to restore security to foreigners in the interior which followed, the last war. A Tiensin letter of Nov. 24 says the Canadian Presbyterian Mission has met with a second reverse in Honan in ra disturbance which occurred at Hsincthen. a new place in which they had rented property and occupied it a short time ago. The premises were attacked by a crowd of beirgars. armed with knives and sticks, some of whom had cut their arms and faces till they were smeared with blood and presented a ghastly appearance, and, after breaking down the doors, menaced the missionaries and brandished their weapons. It turned cot that the attack was made by an organized gang of black waiters. The Viceroy sent troops, who dispersed the mob. Three years ago the American Methodist Mission in Tiensin obtained an eligible site for a new chaDel jnst Inside tho east gate of the city. A few steps west of it is a Confucian temple, and it is opposite an alley leading down to "examination halls," on which also reside several of the literati. These people began an agitation for the removal of the chapels, and so persistent wero they that the missionaries were forced to sell out and select another site. The Chinese also sent out daily a man with a gong, who paraded in front of the mission and announced the loss of a Chinese child. Placards totheeameeffoct werealso posted. The lost child was a myth and the whole proceeding was designed to cause trouble. Edward Bedloe, United States consul at A in or, in the province of Fo Kien, the region of the recent disturbances, arrived here by the Oceanic on the way to Washington on leave of absence. Consul Bedloe is a Pennsylvanian; has been United States consul at Vienna and an attache of the American legation in Egypt. He went to China in February, lS'JO. lie says the latest news be got was from Admiral Belknap, of the Asiatio squadron, at Yokohama, on the way here. There were disturbances in North China, and it looked warlike. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

Lawless Rands Again Committing Depredations in the Northeastern Part of China. London, Jan. 1. A dispatch from Shanghai, received to day, states that notwithstanding the punishment recently indicted by the emperial troops upon the Mongolian outlaws who committed so many depredations in Manchoorja, lawless bands are again marauding in the northeastern part of China. It is reported that theso bands have destroyed a nnmber of the temples in that section of China, but no religious or political importance attaches to the movement, which it is thus termed in lieu of a better word to describe the lawlessness. It is believed that it is not a preconcerted rising against the Chinese authorities. In fact tho dispatch of to-day says that the matter is partly due to agrarian troubles, the Mongolians being land-owners, and that the marauders include a large number of Shan Tung farmers. The dispatch further says that Li Hung Chang, the Viceroy, is recovering from his recent attack of illness and that be is so far convalescent that he is able to attend to government business. He has, as in the recent troubled, assumed the direction and deposition. of tho military forces and is dispatching cavalry to repress tho lawlessness, and, if possible, to capture the marauders. Russia's Adulterated Food Scandal. Bt. Petersburg, Jan. 1. The municipal scandal, arising out of the recent purchase of adulterated flour for the purposo of regulating the price of wheat in the St. Petersburg market and affording relief to famine suff erers, has been the subject of a stormy debate in the Municipal Council. Many members demanded the resignation and the prosecution of the Mayor and the purchasing committee. Ultimately, in spite of the strenuons opposition of the minority, who declared that it was a half measure intended to facilitate tho escape of the culprits, the Counoil decided to appoint a committee of revision. The newspapers denounce this decision and urge that a judicial inquiry Do instituted. Brushed Off by Overhanging Trees. Bogota, Dec. 10.

The presidential election took place in Guatemala yesterday. Tho weather throughout Davaria is very severe. The lakes are frozen almost to the bottom. Dr. Charcot, the distinguished French physician, is suflering from a severe attack of inlluenza. King George, of Greece, who for some time has been sick with small-pox, has recovered from his illness. The offers of Americans to supply needy Mexicans with corn has stimulated the Spaniards to make similar offers, with the object of outvying the generosity of Americans. It has been decreed that rice, beans, peas, corn and hay and all kinds of vegetables may be imported into Guatemala free of duty. The duty on imports of cattle has also been removed. President Ilarrilas, of Guatemala, has requested that a denial be made of the ref torts that he is trying to incite a rebellion n Sau Salvador, and that he intends to declare himself dictator of Guatemala. Hrrr Kessler, an architect in the German government service, has been appointed 1 editor! the Socialist papei Yolksblatt, at

The officials of the United States consulate and of tho United States legation aro taking steps to relieve the distress of the dead man's family. The Bishop of St. lirieuc, France, yesterday received New Year greetings from the Municipal Council, with which he has for a long time had strained relations.

His remarks are considered important as an indication of a change of attitude on the part of the Catholic bishops. THE "ROOF OF THE WORLD,' Where England Is Battling with the Mountaineers of liunza and Nagar. New York Herald. - The road from Gilglt to liunza and Xagar runs alongside the Hunza river duo north for abont thirty miles. Here is situated the Chalt fort, and a few miles to the northwest is Chaprot. The extreme difficulty of the road from Gilitit may be imagined when it is said that for some distance the path is constructed along the face of precipitous cliffs and supported by wooden pegs, after a fashion not infrequent in the more difficult gorges of the Himalayas. The importanee of improving this ronte was early recognized, but the work involved is tremendous. It has been clear for some years that the British relations with tho Hunza-Nagar states would sooner or later be ruptured, and the building of the road mentioned has brought on the trouble. A British mission dispatched to the country in 1&6-6 showed that the Mountaineers. Hushed with their success against the ill-dleciplined mid poorly-armed troops of the Maharajah of Cashmere, were Inclined to be hostile to British interests. Th government was inactive, however, owintr to the troubles in Burinah at that time, and the tribesmen grew defiant. In the summer of 18 they advanced upon Chaprot and Chanlt, and succeeded in capturing these forts And in penetrating down the valley or the liunza river to within a day's march of Gilglt. Kveutnally it required a force of some five or six thousand native troops to compel them to retread They seem to have deemed the present an opportune moment to again make their way down the liunza valley and prevent the British from carrying their project to build a road from Gil git to the Pamirs. A firm of British contractors is now building a road from Seriugapur to Gil git, and when it is completed, which, according to the contract, is to bo July 1. lSlfi, a practicable road will exist, by which additional troops will be enabled to reach Gilgit in a very short space of time. This, it is believed, will result in the British putting an end to- fprthe. tjpnble with the HunzaNagar mountaineer;1. - i It would seem thai Russia and England will soon be face to lace on the Indian frontier. The English are pushing on their outposts from the one side and the Russians theirs from the other. In the late summer a party of Russians numbering, it is believed, eight officers, sixty cavalry and forty infantry, made an exploring expedition toward the Afghan, Chitral and Chinese boundaries, which all approach each other in a loosely-defined way on the Pamirs. Captain Younghusband, then op his iourney to Chinese Turkestan,. started oil at once to discover their intentions. He eventually met a detachment of them at Bozai Gumbaz, and sent word to Gilgit of their arrival. The Russian party at Bozai Gumbaz consisted of ten Cossjck infantry in charge of supplies, while rive o dice rs, u kurveyor and thirty mounted Cossacks had gone forward in tho Chitral direction. On their return to Bozai Gumbaz they were perfectly friendly, and treated Captain Yonnghusband well, telling him at the same time that they claimed the whole country tip to the Khora bahnt pass. This party, umier Colonel Yanoti', then went on to join the Russian advance party of sixty men. who were on the Great Pamir. Next day, in the evening. Captain Younghusband was surprised by hearing horsemen riding tip to his camp. He saw that his tent was surrounded by mounted Cossacks, and their commanding officer. Colonel Yanoti', told him he had some unpleasant news to communicate. Captain Younghusband asked him into his tent, and the Colonel stated that orders had arrived that morning from the Russian Governor general that both Captain Youughusbandaud Lieutenant Davison (of whom we shall hear presently) were to be deported to Chinese territory. Colonel Yauoil told Captain Younghnsbnnd, howeye r, that if he would undertake to proceed thither without re-entering "the newly annexed Russian territory," by certain named passes, he would be permitted to go alone. Otherwise a Cossack escort . must be sent with him. Captain Yonnghusband agreed under protest, pointing out that owinetothe absence of any guard of his own he had no alternative but to yield to force majeure. He then retired to the Taghdurabash Pamir, where ho covered the roads leading into Hunza, in ease the Russians shonld endeavor to enter that district or to send arms to the Kanjutis. ; When Captain Younghusband started for Bozai Gumbaz he had dispatched Lieutenant Davidson, who was traveling in Eastern Tnrkestan during leave of absence, to the Alichur Pamir to watch events on that side. Here Lieutenant Davison was found by Colonel Yanolf, and, though the Chinese official Chang protested, the Russians carried Lientenant Davison oft' with them to Osb and thenee to Marghilan. There he was liberated, at the request of Mr. Elliot, secretary of the British embassy at St. Petersburg, who happened to be traveling at the time -with the Russian Governorgeneral, and he . eventually reached the Taghdumbash Pamir, where he rejoined Captain Yonnghusband. They both arrived in safety at Gilgit on Oct. 14. The object of the Russian expedition was to give solidarity to certainclaims which they have for some time vaguely put forward to advance southward from the demarcating line agreed to in 1873. That line, as will be seen from the map, followed pretty closely one of the northern headwaters ot the Oxus. It left Badakhshan, including its northeastern angle of Shiva, within the Afghan territories or dependencies. Italsorsn north of Sbighnan and the whole of the Pamir region nowindispnte. But the territorial claims to this region were left an open question, and the region itself was supposed to form an undefined, inaccessible and neutral ground between the territories or dependencies of Russia on the north, Afghanistan on the south and Chinese Turkestan on the east.

ANOTHER FIGHT IN TEXAS

Captain Bardie's Troops Encounter 200 Mexicau Revolutionists. x None of the United States Soldiers Rilled Meaner Reports of tho Bailie Garza's Spies at San Antonio More Troops to the Front. Rio Grande Cur. Tex., Jan. L The following report is received from Capt. Hardie G Troop. Third Cavalrj, by courier: T struck the camp of abont 200 of Garza's followers on the 20th int., at sundown, in a dense chapparel, near Garcia's ranch, with no casualties on our side. Captain Brooks's company of rangers, and Troop A. Third Cavalry, Lieutenants Beach and Short, are with me. Captains Bourke and McKay are also here as volunteere." Captains Bourke and McKay retnrned to this place last night, and the following report was made to department headquarters . by Captain Bourke: "Hardio has with ' him Captain Bourke'a company of Texas Rangers and a forco of deputy marshals under Deputy Marshal Van Riper, a posse under Sheriff Haines, of Carriszo, and some Mexican trailers sent him by General Lorenzo Garcia, of the Mexican army. There are - two companies, under Beach and Short, jnst down from San Antonio. Tne bandits scattered in tne chapparel at sundown, and I do not think they will fightmuch unless they get caught in the toils. McKay and I left Hardie this morning after a fight and came across country to Fmemo, twenty miles, and back of some of the ranches. The great danger is that these bandits will break into small squads and plunder the travelers. They have, 'a perfect organization, a good system of signals, know the country thoroughly, and, being without uniform, can tnrn themselves into innocent ranchmen and goat-herders In five minutes. There is a great need of pack trains, and guides, and trailers who know the country and people. I give it as the opinion of Hardie, McKay, Brooks, Yan Riper, Haines and myself that there should be a general rounding-up of ranches from Polisto Blanco west. ' "Hardie marched his command from 3 o'clock in the morning until sundown of the 23tb, going over fifty miles, but it was impossible to bring the outlaws to bay in the darkness." Captain McNiel's company of rangers arrived here last night from Aliee. Captain Brito, of the Rangers, telegraphs to the sheriffdom Edinborg.Tex., fifty milessonth of here, as follows: "An armed party is at Arguellas Blanco, twenty miles below here. Sheriff Closner and myself, in combination with Colonel Manero's cavalry, will raid them to-morrow night late. Can you or a deputy marshal with United States troops come and meet ns tomorrow at Kdinburgf The Blanco is very large, and n largo nnmber is needed to guard the river front. Blanco is American soil on the Mexican side." It seems that Garza is making no attempt to cross into Mexico, but collecting all his forces together on this side to dety the United States troops. Several outlaws who crossed the river, and ono of Captain Brito's prisoners that escaped from him night before last and swam the river, were captured by Mexican soldiers, yesterday, and aro now in jail at Reynosa, Mexico. A detachment of troops arrived this morning wirti Sexto Lougoria as prisoner, severely wounded in . tho leg, which will necessitate amputation. He was shot in the recent tight between United States troops and the bandits and is one of the roou who invaded Mexico with Garza on his first raid on the 15th of September. Lousoria lives at the Lagrulla ranch. He was formerly a United States Deputy Marshal, and. is now reported to be a prominent man among the insurgents. Captain Bourke and escort left with tho prisoner this afternoon for Brownsviile. Tex., by steamer. Muoh valnablo information is expected to be gained from the prisoner. An attempt will be made to-night by United States troops, rangers, and Mexican troops to surround and capture the Blanco, on which there aro congregated quite a party of revolutionists and outlaws. Later. A squad of Captain McNeil's company of rauaers had a rnnning tight with a small party of revolutionists about ten miles from here this afternoon. He succeeded in captnring one of their horses. About three hundred shots were fired, bat no rangers were injured. The loss on the other side is hot reported. Garza's Spies at elan Antonio. 8an Antonio, Tex. Jan. 1. To-day General Stanley issued orders for Troops L and. K, Third Calvary, to proceed from this point at once to Ft. Mcintosh. They will be commanded by Maior Morris. Troop D will thence proceed to Fort Ringgold and Major Morris will remain at Ft. Mcintosh. This makes four troops of cavalry sent from this Toint and swells the total nnmber of United States troops in the turbulent territory to about one thousand. Garza has spies in this city, who keep him fully posted of every maneuver of the troops and if the rumored revolt of the Mexican soldiers to join his standard proves correct, it " is believed that the population of northern Mexico will rlock to his standard rapidly. The recent persecutions of the Catholio clergy has heightened the disaffection toward tho Diaz government, and all the people are waiting for. to join any revolutionary movement, is the prospects of its success. Further news is awaited here with much anxiety. Numbered Only Tn. City of Mexico, Jan. 1.

WHY SENATOR P1.U31II DIED. Careless Neglect of the Laws of Health Will Dreak Down the Strongest Men. Kate Field. Senator Flnmb defied the laws of health. probably without knowing it- Born of farmer stock, he inherited muscle and virility. In phjeiqne he was a giant compared with his associates of the Senate, and with one blow could have laid most of them on the lloor. Realizing his strength, never having been taught the needs of the body. Senator Plumb treated himself with as little mercy as though he had been his own worst enemv; and then oeople prate about "the inscrutability of Providence!'.' If Senator Plumb's death teaches any lesson it is that eaung and drinking are a science, a knowledge of which is absolutely necessary lor the preservation of life, and that incessant work, combined with neglect of hygjene, is suicidal. Hard work does not kill if accompanied by an easily digested diet, with proper distraction after meals. Tho Greatest scientist I know labors from 3 in the morning nntil 11 at night, with little out-door exercise; but he eats simply and slowly, rarely toncbes stimulants, never drinks ice-water and lies down whenever he has a spare quarter of an hour. He knows the eflvct of foods and never puts into his stomach what it cannot digest. Had Senator Plumb followed the ancestral plough, he might have been as careless as his fathers in diet and yet lived to be a hundred. A physically active life enables one to digest almost anything. Look at the goat and the oatrieh! See what piss swallow, and then remember that the con stitution of man more nearly resembles that of the bog than any other ammaL But man cannot eat like a pig unless he lives like a pig; and even pigs have all sorts of diseases unless they are carefully fed. It is onlv recently that tho embargo on the American hog has been removed by Europe. 1 he last time I saw Senator 1'iumo was several months azo in the breakfast-room of the Shorehanu Ho was greatly con cerned about his wife, whose health had been in a nrecarions condition for five years and who had been kept alive by strict . . i . t - .. n 1 1 aiienuon to aieu J was pas v o oioe. when this big, strong man hurried to breakfast after having been at work for three hours. Sitting down with the morning paper in hand, he gave bis order while reading, and at one gulp disposed of a glass of ice-water. It gave me a shiver to see this reckless disregard of his stomach, but if J had protested I should have been called a crank, let theman who gavenothougnt to his own diet, had saved his wife's life by putting her in cbanze of a hygienist. Mr. Plumb's breakfast consisted of messes, swallowed without really masticating, and windine no with a glass of milk taken at a gulp. Then he strode off to more work. 1 bo spectacle frightened me, and I wondered how long even his iron phvsique could endure snch a strain. The end has come far sooner than I expected, and I'm very sorry for it. . How many American men aro following in Senator Plumb's footsteps? I believe their name is legion. It is time to appoint a physical trainer to Congress, whose business it shall be to examine all Congressmen at the beginning of a session, find out their exact physical, condition, keep an eye on the unhealthy and report their condition to their family from time to time. Indeed, the Nation is concerned in this vital matter, for it is the people who pay for these unnecessary funerals, and it ia the people's time which is wasted in following Congressmen to their self-dug graves. Will Americans stop talklnsr about Browning and the infinite, and tariff and free silver long enough to consider the f unetions of their own digestion? SECRETARY ELK INS. He Is a Devoted Family Man and Has a Delightful Horn. Correspondence Philadelphia Iteoorl. He loves his wife and children better than everything else in the world, much as he loves fame, and power, and money. If he believes iu nothing else he believes in making his home happy, and it is safe to ssy there is no happier home in the United States. Beiii? rich be can, of course, give his loved ones everything that money can buy, but it is the thoughfulness . and the tastefulneas with which he ministers to their wants which make him so dear to them. His honse at Klkins, his rosidencein Went Virginia, and the house he has had in New York are exquisitely furnished and admirably conducted, as will be the house which he will take here, where his hospitality will excel any that he has ever shown, and that is saying a great deal. It will surprise most people to know that rerhaps tho chief feature at any of the Klkins mansions is the library. Klkins Is a lover of books rather than a student or a scholar. He bnys and reads voraciously. It is his only dissipation, for he eats and drinks most sparingly, plays cards only fur fun and has no known vices. Alter a day spent, perhaps. In his special car. transacting railroad and political business at widely distant points. Klkins finds after his family have retired, delightful oblivion to nil outside considerations in the depths of his books. Elkins is not at all pedantic, and so he is not given toquotingrouch in conversation, and. as he is not a speech-maker and long jo adopted Martin Van Bnren's wise rule to walk a bnudred miles rather than write a letter, the result of bis reading do.not appear very frequently, and so it is perhaps as little known as the fact that he is a connoisseur in paintings and a great collector of etchings. The fact is that Elkins is a very versatile man. the only art that he knows nothing abont. perhaps, beingthe art of war. His friends here have been very much amused in this connection by the statements made in New York by soms solemn old person, who knew nothingat.out the matter, that President Harrison selected Mr. Elkins for Secretary of War jnst at this time because of the impending danger of war with Chili, Mr. Elkins being, according to this oracle, not only a miahty warrior himself, but especially well unformed by a visit to Chili as to the character of the Chilian army and navy and war power generally. The only fact m this little romance, beyond the one that President Harrison had selected bim for Secretary ot War just at this time, is the fact that Mr. Elkins has been in Chili. He was there about ten years go, trying to get a contract to bnild a railroad or something of that kind whioh he either did not get or wonld not take, at all events his visit. I am told, came to nothing. mil's Dinner to HllL Bprlnjcfltld EepnWcan. Those who do not care a rap for the political fortunes of Double-decker Hill, of New York, are getting lots of fun ont of that complimentary" dinner which Hill gave to. Hill at Albany. They thoroughly enjoy watching Hill press the bntton, while the State officers do the rest. But certain members of Hill's military staff do not see anything particularly funny about Hill's dinner to Hill. They wero "invited" a sort of royal invitation to chip in and help ont on the expenses, the assessment to be not more than Of course they could not gracefully refuse witnout hazarding their military positions, but some of them are nut in a very happy frame of mind with which to begin the new year. m.m. What HUllsiu Hay Do. Boston Transcript. Bat if Hilllsm becomes 'the dominant force in New Yoric polities, so that Hill demands recognition as a boss whose power no one cares to dispute, so much the better will it be for the Republican. There are Democrats of the Smith M. Weed kind in New York who are only biding their time to punish the upstart Hill lor the shameless inaunerin which he has trodden upon men better entitled to high office than himsolf. Hill elected President Harrison in 1S8. and it would be quits remarkable if he should succeed in re-electing him next year. But wno would then aaoum. foe the Soul&f
