Washington", D. C., May 10.?Af- j
ter a week's waiting some tangible news j
was received at the navy department
from the "Charleston." First came a i
dispatch irom Acapulco stating that th e |
Chilian insurgent cruiser "Esmeralda" j
had put out of Acapu.'co harbor yester- |
day and had returned to port today, j
Later on through the state department |
a dispatch came saying the Charles- ;
ton" had arrived at Acapulco and that j
the '"Esmeralda" was still in port, but j
giving no news of the kiItata."
What next step will be taken no one \

to tell.
The "Charleston" will take on coal
as her supply probably ran out during
the week's chase. Whether the "Esmeralda"
is to have the privilege of taking
coal aboard can uot be answered here,
as it is a matter entirely within the
pleasure ot the Mexican "government,
but the opinion here is against it, as the
neutrality laws would be strained by
the Mexican government if it alio ved
anything more than water and food to
be supplied to the insurgents. As to the
''Charleston" it is quite probable that
commander, (Japtain Kemey, oas oruers
admitting large discretionary movements
and will lie at or near Acapulco
for a time trusting that the "Itata,"
which is a slow seven knot ship, has not
yet passed down the coast, anci wiil try
to coal m that neighborhood. If she is
sighted the "Charleston" will doubtless
try to seize her. She can not do this in
Mexican waters, so that it would be nec.?
essary to head her oil'outside the three
mile line, or if unsuccessiull to follow
her to sea when she coes out. What
fciTV fvnsvwaIj-7aV will /3/\ in tlio

time is problematical. The general expression
is that the officers ot the vessel'
will rely more upon strategy than force
to obtain the supplies carried by the
"Itata" and some officers believe that
sbe is trying to lure her iuto a trap
wh~:e she can be easily taken.
Recourse to force to prevent the j
^ "Charleston" from capturing the
"Itata," however, it is said would, be
HI* the death blow of the insurgent cause
in Chile, as the entire naval force of the
United States in the Paciiic would, it
necessary, be called into play to destroy
the insurgent navy.
The cablegram received at the department
from Admiral McCann on the
"San Francisco" announced that the
"Baltimore" and "San Francisco" were
at Iquique together. So it appears that j
the "Baltimore" has come north and ;
the "San Francisco" has been stayed I
in her southern course just at the point j
where the Chilian insurgent navv is now |
nearly altogether assembled. This j
point is almost in the extreme north of
Chili, and the place where the "Itata"
would naturally find her des'ination if
she eluded the "Charleston."
Washington, ^Iay IS.?Just before
4 o'clock this afternoon the Navy Department
received confirmation of a
dispatch to the effect that the Charleston
sailed Southward from Acapulco last
evening leaving the Esmeralda in l.ort.
There was no word of the Itata. The
presumption that the Charleston's
commander was satisfied that the Iiata
had passed Acapulco either before he j
arrived there or while he lay in port,
and tnat tie uas resumca uie long ctiase. j
It is estimated that the Itata has been j
steaming along at about seven knots, i
and as she was ten days out last Friday i
night she should, at that time, have been
just off Acapulco, where it is reported
i'rom that place that she met Esmeralda.
As she is a much smaller vessel than the
Emeralda and burns very much less coal,
it is regarded as within probabilities that
latter vessel might have supplied her
with this necessary article, which would
account for the strange war ship which
was in port getting a new supply < f coal.
If it be true that the Itata was off
Acapulco Friday night she had two full
days start of the Charleston when the
latter started again in pursuit last night.
This is about the same lead that she had
when she started from .San Diego but it
??does not appear that the chase is any
nearer conclusion. But if the two vessels
now follow the same course, the
Charleston steaming at fourteen knots

night. This event of course is
based upon the assumption which is not
founded upon strong probability that the
two vessels are steering exactly the
same course. If the Charleston passes i
Itata the next port where they are likely
to be beard from is Panama, about
1,200 miles irom Acapulco or Payta,
Peru, siill further down the coast. As
it is the vessels have probably covered
less than half the distance to Iquique,
the nearest Chilian port.

May IS.?The war department, having !
asked for niws in regard to Chilian in-1
surcent vessels from Acapulco, has been |
informed that there is no probablity of!

Gen Pedro Hinajosa, secretary
wrr, declares to an Associated Press
correspondent that Mexico only insists
that her neutrality be respected and will
not interfere in the matter. Gen Hinajosa
says his orders are not to sell coal
to insurgent vessels or allow them to
load arms m Mexican territory.
One of the officers of the Esmeralda
in an interview at Acapulco said: "We
will try to get coal here, but if this is
impossible we are sure oi getting it
within a few hours sail. We are not [
afraid of a conflict with t he Charleston, !
but our orders are to be prudent and not!
provoke a conflict." When asked if the ;
Esmeralda was en route to Chill the I

PEFFEfVS PREDICTIONS.
TIip Kansas Senator Talks -jf tli:*. Aji- j
proach'ns Altiaiiie Convention.
Washington, L\ C.. May is.? !
Senator PefFer, of Kansas, the Farmers'
All'ancc representati ve and successor oi :
John J. Ingalis. ta!k.s in a rather interesting
way about, the coming conference j
in Cincinnati, which will be held on the
19th inst. Mr. I'ell'er. in the first place,
declares that the reports which allege an
attempt of Socialists and Anarchists to
r^ntnre the Cincinnati Convention are
prompted by politician*. who arc trviui; j
iu advaucc lo discredit the natherin:;*. *
lie admits that in the matter of decora-i
tious there may bo something leaning in I
that direction, but lie denies thai any-'
thlnjc ol an unpatriotic or Anarchistic :
character will he said or done.
.Senator Poller then ^oes on to ex-:
plain that those of his belief do not pro-1
pose to destroy anything, hut rather to
build up and defend. TL- y do not wish
to comoel the rich to ^i\? ..pall lit at
they ha-.'e, but to devise somi way by |
which the poor can be relieved. The j
one purpose oi the Convention, he says.
will be lo beneiiL tno conuiuon 01 mu ;
distressed, and no wandering oil' on side j
issues is to be permitted. All classes i
of labor are nov working under disad- J
vantages, Mr. l'efl'cr believes, and this i
is especially true ot tiie farmers. The
heavily n.ort^a^ed larms ami the ruinous
rates of interest which eat up ail the
farmers' substance are a cryiug evil
which Senator Feller proposes to deal
with by suggesting to the Convention a
scheme refunding such as that adopted
by railroad corporations and other business
concerns.
la explaining now t;us:s 10 oe eueci?u
Senator I'eller gets around to the Alliance
idea of governmental relief: because,
as lie is compelled to admit, private
individuals will nut accept lower
rates of interest t'nau those now ruling,
lie argues that there has been a steady
contraction of tiie circulating medium
for nine yiars past, and that the Gov*
eminent should print or coin, it makes
no dill ere nee which, about *1,000,000,000
to make up for this great loss to the
people. The creation or production of
so great a sum would, according to the
Alliance idea, izive reiiel to mose oppressed
by debt, and to distribute it
where it would do the mo?: good loan
agencies controlled by the Federal authorities
are to be established in all the
States. The absorption of t'jc new |
money bv the richer classes, or those |
UQworthy of it, is to be prevented by an j
investigation of the circumstances o: j
those applying for relief.

Mammoth mass meetings ia all pirts
of the country are to be inaugurated
during the coming summer to agitate this
question, which the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr. Peil'er hopes, will make prominent.

Third Party, the Senator from Kansas
says that nothing of the kind is intended j
at present. lie declares there will be i
no discussion o{ candidate or of a par:y j

will be postponed until a later day, and

were 55upi-lied with guns. No attempt
to molest the black laborers was made, c
and they were soon placed in possession j
of the houses and tents provided for their a
use near the mines. Many of the rain- v
ers' wives gathered around the colored n
people and remarked: "Look at Cor- v
rey's black slaves." c
At the town of Franklin a dead line r
has been established and white people
are not allowed to go beyond it. The a
negroes are eon lined to certain limits as s
far as possible. Intense indignation prevails
on account of the presence of the
hired guards. At a meeting of citizens
last night over two hundred were pres- e
ent. about thirty of them bein? negroes. 8
It is asserted by those who conducted *
the meeting that all the negroes present
stated that they had been brought here }.
under false representations and intended rj
to return. Resolutions were passed de- Q
nouncing the companies for bringing negroes
in under an armed guard, and ap- ^
pealing to Governor Ferry to enforce r
the provision of the Constitution which d
forbids the assembling of armed bodies g
of men. The white miners are endeav- o
oring to proselyte the blacks and some
of them have already deserted the com- s
paav. At a late hour last night all was 1
quiet and the guards were patrolling ihe v
dead line.

11U 5CVCIU ^UUIJcU^iaLlUU U1 iOlt, uuo
here been such a calamltious visitation
?{' lire as thai which swooped down on
his city yesterday. Fire broke out at
!.30 1\ M. in Langweil's livery barn, on
Jay avenue. The old frame structure
vas soon in flames, aud llying spr.rks
md burning shingles carried by a strong
lortli wind almost at once set lire to the
oofs of a score of old tinder boxes in the
mmediate vicinity. .Soon the distance
jetween Pine and .Spring streets had
>een traversed, and ihen the fire settled
Iown to a southerly course and coninued
between Spring and Pine Streets
o eat everything that lav in its path.
BUSINESS SECTION* SAVED.
The flames continued to work their
>a) in a ovui.iati.ij uuiuiu xivi
:ross over Spring street. They leaped
o the west side ol Pine street, devoured
vent block and three adjoining stores,
,hen the residence ot" Fred Drexilms at
he corner of Fine street and Muslcegon
ivenue, and back of that destroyed
Matthew Wilson's house, but was
ihecked on that side ot the street, aud
,he people breathed easier, for they saw
,hat the solid business part of the city
vas out of danger.
The lire, however continued its way
lp Fine aud Spring streets, licking up
nany stores and dwellings with a terrijle
roaring that nearly drove the people
ran tic. After Leaving Mont Watson's
iousc, the lire jumped to the Fine Street
.louse, burned mat ami ir.i. (jutwaite's
ine residence aud continued its course
):i the west side of Pine street, destroying
every store on that side of the street
ind also three houses on Walton street,
jut here the lire was again checked fro u
spreading westerly.
THE COURT HOUSE DESTROYED.
The Court House, built in 1SG9, a threestory
brick building, was seen to be on I
ire. The sberill'immediately took possession
of the prisoners, twelve in num
jer, and conveyed then: to the city hall
ock-up. There was a geoeral stampede
ind papers were quickly hustled into the
arge lire-proof vaults. All the papers
ire supposed to be safe. Judge I)ickerliau
lost about half of his Hue library
Hid others also lost a good deal in a
lersonal way. All that remains of the
arge Court House is the bare walls.
The lire again jumped across Myrtle
street and took more stores and dvvellngs
on the \>est side of Pine street and
. i . - : _ J. 1.1 .i x- m -

Iwellings and buildings were quickly
jurncd, and then the lire struck thelloland
Church parsonaire and the brick
school house belonging to the same
lenominatiou.
EXTENT OK THE BURNED DISTRICT.
In the meantime the lire continued to
)urn everything between 1'iae and Soring
streets, and was only checked at Isabella
street, a distauce of ten blocks.
; On Terrace street the buildings burned
nvftvnrl n civjen nf livr> KlrwL-o orul t!io
yhole number of blocks burned is over
wenly. The total number of dwellings
)urned is probably 350.
By 9 o'clock the lire had reached the
outhern district of the city, where there
vas more snace between the houses and
he firemen succeeded iu considerably
educing the further progress of the
lames.
Thetotal loss will not fall much below
i-j00,000, audau insurance man last
ug'^t estimated that the insurance will

A I'oiiit. in Corn Culture.
A great deal ol' injury is done to corn
by deep, close culture with the double
shovel plow or any otner implement
tbat severs or greatly disturbs the
roots. Plowing deep and close to the
roots is harmful at any time, but especially
late in the season, as the larger
roots developed late and those which
originated earlier in the growth of the
plants are cut or pulled oil. To ascertain
the extent of the damage from
such cultivation a trial was made-<t the
Minnesota experimental station. Hows
of corn were thoroughly root pruned to
the depth of six inches and at the same
distance from the hills on all four sides.
The first root cutting was done when
the plants were seven inches high, and
the second when at a height, ot' fifteen i
in^h.ps The efTectt on the crrovvth ot I
the corn was very marked. Contrasted
with similar rows adjacent, not rootpruned,
the average difference in yield
was thirteen aid a half bushels of corn
and one quarter ton of i odder per acre
against disturbing the roots. In another
experiment made just as the corn
was "laid by," root pruning at a distance
of eight inches from the hills
lowered the yield three bushels 10 the
acre. At this stage of theiv growth
hilling up four inches around the plants
with the hoe had no apparent elfect.
