Great Northern to Reach That City in Early Spring. The United States Declared to Have No Grievance. SEASONABLE NOVELTIES British Columbia Sugar Industry. CHICAGO, Dec. 12.?8. T. Rogers, manager of the recently organized British Columbia sutrar refinery at \ancouver, talked freely here today about its prospects. He said that when in two years the Spreckels Hawaiian monopoly ex- pires his company will probab.y get a contract with ihe Hawaiians. He said the Canadian Pacific road was doing wonders for that country. In addition to the fast mail which has been established between Japan and England, he has the best authority for stating that in th.o near future British Co- lumbia will have a fast line of steamers to Aus- tralia, touching Honolulu, and they will use every,means to divert the traffic and travel now going via San Francisco. Mr. Rogers spoke of the rich strikes made in the Kootenai mount- ains a few days before he left for the East and says that if first reports come true their silver mines will pale the Comstock lode.

[Special.] ?The spur from this point to the Great Northern road began to materalize this week. A large force of men are now at work building the mile and a half of road, and track-laying will commence in a short time. It was stated a few weeks ago that there was trouble ltetween the Northern Pacific and Great Northern over the prop- osition and the former road had a cinch on the latter, as it could compel the Great Northern to unload its steel at Sand Point, thus forcing them to reload all supplies. This would practically have shut off track- laying on this end of the extension, as it is expected that more than 1,000 carloads of Great Northern steel will be handled here, and the unloading, moving and re- loading would have been too expensive. This trouble has been satisfactorily settled, and the Great Northern will commence to lay track both east and west from a point opposite here this month. Tacoma Itailroad Notes. VALPARAISO. Dec. 12.? [New York Herald Special.]? A circular letter prepared by Minister of Foreign Affairs Motte for dis- tribution among the Chilean legations in Europe and America gives Chile's side of the difficulty with the United States, grow- ing out of the Baltimore outrage. It says, in part: TACOMA, Dec. 12.?(Special.]?The old North- ern Pacific carshop at Seventeenth street will be used as a depot train shed for the present The seventeenth street depot will be moved across Pacific avenue and will be used in connection with the improvised train sheds. Mullen A t 0., of St. Paul, builders of the Edi- son car shops, have been awarded the contract for placing the masonry for the Northern Pa- cific's 1,400 foot iron br.dge at Granite, Idaho. The masonry work will cost 130,000. The movement of the Chamter of Commerce and Commercial Club in investigating the com- parative freight rates of the Northern Pacific, will probably result in the organization of a transportation bureau, to be composed of the heavy local shippers. The bureau will endeavor to secure desirable freight rates, and rates that are not formulated on a basis unfavorable to the local shippers. With reference to the report of tho secretary of the navy and the message of tho president of the I nited States, I think it opportune to say that the information upon which the report and message are grounded is erroneous or deliber- ately iucorreet. So far as refugees are con- cerned, they have never been threatened with cruelty, nor has anyone attempted to take them from the legation, nor has delivery been or- dered. nor has the house or person of a f r- eign minister been molested, in sp\te of dally- ing and intentional provocation. This is provou by the eleven notes of September, October aud November. -All the above goods strictly first-class and astonishingly low in price. Call and we will convince yon. of the ~ truth of this state- "?? mont. News from Tend d* Oreille. HOP*, Idaho, Dec. 12.?[Special.]?On Thurs- day tbe steamer Great Kastern was floated off the rocks in Garfield buy, lake I'end d' Oreille, where she was driven by the storm on Sunday. Her cargo of ore was first unloaded. The steamer sustained no serious injury. Hope is suffering from a Chinese invasion. Intruders to the number of fifteen or twenty are coming from Clark s Fork, where an anti- Chinese movement is on foot, resulting from the robbsrv of John O'Counell by two Chinamen at that place last Tuesday. Conceraing the Bailors of the Baltimore, there is a want of exactness and frankness in the statements made in Washington City. The af- fray took place in the bad quarters of the eitx, the "main top" of Valparaiso, and amoug i>eo- pe by no means models. When the police and other forc>s interfered and calmed down the tumult, there were already several hundred men engaged, and it hud spread to a distance of ten b.wks or more from the place where it commenced. Mr. Kgan pur- posely communicated to the 1 mted States a ucte in aggressive and violent language on October lit"), as shown by a copy and note which was an- Bwered October 27. The Valparaiso court on October 18 began a summing up, which was sus- pended on account of the non-appearance of the crew of the Baltimore and on account of il- legal pretences and denials by Kgan. There has never been any provocation com- menced or accepted by this department, and it always maintained au attitude of firmness and prudence. It has never had an aggressive pol- icy and will never approve a humiliating one. Notwithstanding the fact that interested par- ties may try to make their conduct appear hon- est and try to dodge the issue by erroneous ac- counts; notwithstanding what may be said or may have been said in Washington City, the telegrams, notes and patters sent you contain the truth, and the whole truth, about what has happened in regard to this affair, and the ili- wiil and subsequent differences and pretensions have not proceeded from this department. The engineers say that work will com- mence by December 20. This should take the road into Spokane early next spring. All the contractors have received orders lately to hurry the work. Welch <fc Co. and Burns it Chapman will have the grad- ing completed sixty-seven miles from here in less than two months, and the San Francisco Bridge Company have their forty miles to the west in a like stage of advancement. The oniy thing in the way of track-laying is the scarcity of ties, but that can doubt- less be overcome. Store open every evening until after the holidays. FRONT STREET AND PIONEER PIACE Whstcom County Itoad Bond Question. WHATCOM, Dec. 12.?[Special.]? Represent- atives of the road districts are in the city to at- tend the road bond convention. It is proposed toboudthe county for $400,000 by a three fifth* vote. The citizens want the roads, but there is a diversity of opinion as to the amount of debt desirable. Another meeting was held tonight, and the convention was divided on the propo- sition. Representative Tiffany and some others spoke against the bonds. The tide land claimants are preparing to pre- sent their claims. The secretary of the navy has received a cablegram l'rom Captain Schley, com- manding the United States steamer Balti- more, saying that as there appears to ho no further necessity for the presence of that vessel in Valparaiso, she sailed yesterday for San Franciseo for the purpose of being docked, and scraped. The York town is now the only American warship at Valparaiso, but she will he joined there in about ten d;t>'s by the cruiser Boston, which sailed from Montevideo a few days ago. Agent Rogers, of the Northern Pacific, has received orders to prepare to take care of 1,000 carloads of steel, and is putting the yards in shape for big business. The contract for a railroad bridge for the spur across the Slough has been let to the San Francisco Bridge Company. They have their pile-driver here ready to com- mence work, and as soon as the bridge is completed the other work will be ready for the track. Commencing work from the west end of the extension will make Sand Point lively, as it will probably be the headquarters for tracklayers and general supply camps. Work on the Granite cut-off of the Northern Pacific road is progressing rap- idly, with the exception of the tunnel. Altogether about I<M) men are employed, and work is going forward from both ends. It is not being put through as last as calculated upon. A Taconia Woman Attempts Suicide. TACOMA.Dec. I£?[Special.]?Mrs. J. M. I'rayter, aged 43, wife of a saloon-keeper, has recovered from the effect of a dose of morphine which she swaliowed Inst night with avowed suicidal in- tent. She refused to open her mouth to swallow emetics, necessitating the injection of the samo hypodermically. She says her troubles causa her to wish to die. She threatens to suicide at the very first opportunity. HAWAII Kll'K FOR UK VOLITTIO!*. Hubert Wilcox Says America Prevents Kstablislinient of a Republic. Mr. Tracy aud Mr. Harrison have been led into an error concerning our people and govern- ment. Their instructions of impartiality and amity have not been complied with. They are not now, or have they been before, and if no complaints have been made against the minis- ter and sailors it is because they are puo- lic and notorious in Chile and the United Btates, and could never have been made use of by our confidential agents, even when well established. Balmaceda's demands aud eon- cessions were made in Juno ami July. The whole Itata affair; the San Francisco in Ouintero bay, and the matter of the cable company are proofs of it. It has been purposely misstated that North American sailors were attacked in various localities at the same time. No final summing up having been concluded, it remains unknown who and how many are the guilty parties. NRW YORK, Dec. 12. The If*»rf<Lprints several letters from Robert Wilcox, the ilawaiiau revo- lutionist, to Captain Moreno, now at Washing- ton City, once prime minister of king Kalakuua, which throw some light ou the unsettled condi- tion of affairs in the islands. One letter, dutud October 17, says: Oskrtdsie News. OAKKSDALK, Dec. LI ? A large force of men are at work putting up poles ior electric lights, which will be iu position as soon as possible. I have just heard that Mott Smith is goin* to Washington City to make a treaty With a bayo- net clausu so a* to get the United Elates to pro- tect the missionary planters and their tool, the queen, in spite of the wishes of the people. This is another scheme to destroy the plan* of the National party tor a republic. 1 also hear that strict orders from the National party have been sent to you to instruct you to paralyze this cowardly missionary scheme. The people aro anxious to hee the new republic under the pro- tection of the American eagle. The Oaxesdale mills have been shut this week while uew machinery was put in position. Ar- rangements have been made to grind cornmeal, and a carload of corn from lowa is expected within a day or two. The mills will start up again on Monday. SHOOTING AFFKAT AT KOOTENAY. Prizefighter Steel Wound* Saloon- Keeper Turner 0»«r Gnuhling (i»in«. KOOTKNAY, Idaho, Pec. 12.?[Special.]?Koot- enay was thrown into a wild state of excitement this evening on account of a shooting »crape in Turner <fc Cunningham's saloon. A 1 Turner and Bill Stoel, a prizefighter, got into an altercation over some money, claimed by the latter, in Turner's possession. Turner attempted to make a "gun play," but Steel was the quicker and fired two shots, one builet going through Turner's hat and the other striking hiin in the neck. Turner will live. l)eputy Sheriff Wentzell entered the sa- loon, but Steel covered him with his pistol and escaped. He was arreted a few minutes later t>v Weutzell, who followed him up, and was lodged in jail. The shooting was the result of a prizefight this afternoon between Red Gor- man and bill Hiel. Fire st liemeraville, Mont. KALISPELL, Mont., Dec. 12.?[Special.]?Fire swept out a block of business houses in Demers- ville, three miles south of here, at 5 o'clock this morning, entailing a loss of about SIO,OOO. All were snloous, with two exceptions. There is only fiiOO insurance on the proj>erty. As the fire started in au empty building and at such an hour, there is no doubt but that the tire was of incendiary origin. To a friend in New York Moreno has written some very interesting letter* concerning the Condition of affairs in Hawaii. Under date of November 25 he wrote: Your excellency should take my note of No- vember 'J, in answer to Minister Egmn, as well as tile other note asking for evidence, which he did n*t like to give, although he h«d said he hnd proofs of who were the murderers and other guilty parties of October 16; and a'.so all other notes. Your excellency should have them translated and published. In tne meantime, please deny all that appears to the contrary. V\ e are sure of the right and propriety of Chile's acts and of the final result in spite of the In- trigues that descend so low and threats that come from so high in this contingency. The revolution is not toberpruuir until I havo received assurances from Mr. RUin# that tae t'nited States navy will not !>e übie to interfere in the domestic a'lv.r* of Hawaii and that !t<» rounds of ammunition, arms, sailors nor marine! will be loaned to the missionary r:ug in Honolulu in the event of a revolution. It is a shame tor the I'nited State* to p'.ay the [»au of policeman in the Hawaiian n*Jand->. By doing so the United States imposes upon the Hawaiian people the mean, rapacious, cruel, hypocrite al and tyrannical missionary rule which u» t le worst calamity that ever ttefeil a race. A con- dition of affairs similar to that in Hawaii eiists in Samoa, where the Germans have obtained ei>n- trol, to the detrimtnt the eommene, preside and influence of the United States, iust as the English have done in Hawaii. The Great Northern at tinohoiufsh. SNOHOMISH, Dec. 12.? [Special.]?The Great Northern Kailroad Company has established an engineering headquarters here. Shepherd, Henry & Co., the contractors, have established an immense depot for supplies in the old Jack- sou store on the river bank. A large barn is be- ing erected for keeping horses. A man was "rolled" here last night for S2O, and another bunkoed out of |75. The town is still lull oi thieves and rounder*. The sheriff has been telegraphed for to come at once and render his assistance to Deputy Sheriffs Joe Warren, J. S. Mostly and Kllsworth Wentzell, who are here, and will endeavor to uphold the law. There are threats of cleaning the town tomorrow by mob force. Senator Conaderillas asked last night for an explanation from Matte of his letters to the American government referred to by President Harrison in the message as an insulting reply. Matte replied that there was not the least truth in the characterization. He never penned an insulting reply to the United States administration. On the other band, Egan's letters to the Chilean foreign olfice are insulting in a marked degree. Matte then went on to maintain the truth of the data contained in the circular letter to the Chilean legations in Europe and America. He added in vehemency that Chile would act in every way with strict justice, and scored Egan and Consul McCreery for the alleged withholding of evidence neces- sary to arrive at a clear understanding of the merits of the Baltimore case. He said nothing would prevent Chile from fully investigating the affair or of punish- ing those found guilty in accordance with the law of the land. llerr Gutschmidt, the German minister, is doing all in his power to stir up ill-feel- ing against the United States government. It is said that he promised the Chilean ad- ministration the support of the German fleet in the event of a war between Chile and the United States.

At the date of the letter there was living on the Baltimore a doctor named Stanley, a British subject, who had been a resident of Chile for a number of years. He was a wit- ness to the attack upon Turnhull, the Baltimore sailor, who received twenty knite wounds in the aTfray last month and afterward died. Dr. Stan- ley defended the man as well as he could, and afterward took him to a hospital and cared for him. It was known that us testimony would be damaging, and a few days later he was assaulted and arrested. Efforts were made to prevent his t« -ti- monv being taken, but when he was re- leased from prison he went aboard the Baltimore for protection. The members of the crew of the Baltimore subscribed nearly |T>OO in gold and purchased a mon- ument suitably inscribed to place over the graves of Riggin and Turnbuli. Another case of cruelty to American seamen has attracted attention. The American steamer Keewenaw, from New York for San Francisco, stopped at Val- paraiso in October. One of her crew, Pat- rick Shields, was arrested for drunken- ness. The man admits he was drunk, but says he was given no hearing at all, and was refused permission to communicate with his captain on the vessel or with the consulate. He was kept at work cleaning the streets more than a week, and brutally beaten by the police. When re- leased he was scarcely able to walk, his back and arms being a mass of bruises, and according to the statement of a sur- geon who attended him lie received in- ternal injuries which will prevent him working for several months. Consul Mc- Creery took the man to the intendente to show the latter his injuries, but the in- tendente declined to look at him, though he promised to investigate the matter. No conclusion had been reached in the caie up to the date of the letter.

Have No Grievance.SEASONABLE NOVELTIES British Columbia Sugar Industry.CHICAGO, Dec. 12.?8. T. Rogers, manager of
the recently organized British Columbia sutrarrefinery at \ancouver, talked freely here todayabout its prospects. He said that when in twoyears the Spreckels Hawaiian monopoly ex-pires his company will probab.y get a contractwith ihe Hawaiians. He said the CanadianPacific road was doing wonders forthat country. In addition to thefast mail which has been established betweenJapan and England, he has the best authorityfor stating that in th.o near future British Co-lumbia will have a fast line of steamers to Aus-tralia, touching Honolulu, and they will useevery,means to divert the traffic and travel nowgoing via San Francisco. Mr. Rogers spoke ofthe rich strikes made in the Kootenai mount-ains a few days before he left for the East andsays that if first reports come true their silvermines will pale the Comstock lode.

BA*D POINT, Idaho, Dec. 12.? [Special.]?The spur from this point to the GreatNorthern road began to materalize thisweek. A large force of men are now atwork building the mile and a half of road,and track-laying will commence in a shorttime. It was stated a few weeks ago thatthere was trouble ltetween the NorthernPacific and Great Northern over the prop-osition and the former road had a cinchon the latter, as it could compel the GreatNorthern to unload its steel at Sand Point,thus forcing them to reload all supplies.This would practically have shut off track-laying on this end of the extension, as itis expected that more than 1,000 carloadsof Great Northern steel will be handledhere, and the unloading, moving and re-loading would have been too expensive.This trouble has been satisfactorily settled,and the Great Northern will commence to
lay track both east and west from a pointopposite here this month.
Tacoma Itailroad Notes.VALPARAISO. Dec. 12.? [New York Herald
Special.]? A circular letter prepared byMinister of Foreign Affairs Motte for dis-tribution among the Chilean legations inEurope and America gives Chile's side ofthe difficulty with the United States, grow-ing out of the Baltimore outrage. It says,in part:
TACOMA, Dec. 12.?(Special.]?The old North-ern Pacific carshop at Seventeenth street will beused as a depot train shed for the present Theseventeenth street depot will be moved acrossPacific avenue and will be used in connectionwith the improvised train sheds.
Mullen A t 0., of St. Paul, builders of the Edi-son car shops, have been awarded the contractfor placing the masonry for the Northern Pa-cific's 1,400 foot iron br.dge at Granite, Idaho.The masonry work will cost 130,000.
The movement of the Chamter of Commerceand Commercial Club in investigating the com-parative freight rates of the Northern Pacific,will probably result in the organization of atransportation bureau, to be composed of theheavy local shippers. The bureau will endeavorto secure desirable freight rates, and rates thatare not formulated on a basis unfavorable to thelocal shippers.
With reference to the report of tho secretary ofthe navy and the message of tho president of theI nited States, I think it opportune to say thatthe information upon which the report andmessage are grounded is erroneous or deliber-ately iucorreet. So far as refugees are con-cerned, they have never been threatened withcruelty, nor has anyone attempted to take themfrom the legation, nor has delivery been or-dered. nor has the house or person of a f r-eign minister been molested, in sp\te of dally-ingand intentional provocation. This is provouby the eleven notes of September, October audNovember.
-All the above goods strictly first-class andastonishingly low in price. Call and

News from Tend d* Oreille.HOP*, Idaho, Dec. 12.?[Special.]?On Thurs-
day tbe steamer Great Kastern was floated offthe rocks in Garfield buy, lake I'end d' Oreille,where she was driven by the storm on Sunday.Her cargo of ore was first unloaded. Thesteamer sustained no serious injury.
Hope is suffering from a Chinese invasion.Intruders to the number of fifteen or twentyare coming from Clark s Fork, where an anti-Chinese movement is on foot, resulting from therobbsrv of John O'Counell by two Chinamen atthat place last Tuesday.
Conceraing the Bailors of the Baltimore, thereis a want of exactness and frankness in thestatements made in Washington City. The af-fray took place in the bad quarters of the eitx,the "main top" of Valparaiso, and amoug i>eo-pe by no means models. When the policeand other forc>s interfered and calmeddown the tumult, there were alreadyseveral hundred men engaged, and it hudspread to a distance of ten b.wks or more fromthe place where it commenced. Mr. Kgan pur-posely communicated to the 1 mted States a uctein aggressive and violent language on Octoberlit"), as shown by a copy and note which was an-Bwered October 27. The Valparaiso court onOctober 18 began a summing up, which was sus-pended on account of the non-appearance ofthe crew of the Baltimore and on account of il-legal pretences and denials by Kgan.
There has never been any provocation com-menced or accepted by this department, and italways maintained au attitude of firmness andprudence. It has never had an aggressive pol-icy and will never approve a humiliating one.Notwithstanding the fact that interested par-ties may try to make their conduct appear hon-est and try to dodge the issue by erroneous ac-counts; notwithstanding what may be said ormay have been said in Washington City, thetelegrams, notes and patters sent you containthe truth, and the whole truth, about what hashappened in regard to this affair, and the ili-wiil and subsequent differences and pretensionshave not proceeded from this department.
The engineers say that work will com-mence by December 20. This should takethe road into Spokane early next spring.
All the contractors have received orderslately to hurry the work. Welch <fc Co.and Burns it Chapman will have the grad-ing completed sixty-seven milesfrom here in less than twomonths, and the San FranciscoBridge Company have their forty miles to
the west in a like stage of advancement.The oniy thing in the way of track-layingis the scarcity of ties, but that can doubt-less be overcome.
Store open every evening until after the holidays.
FRONT STREET AND PIONEER PIACE Whstcom County Itoad Bond Question.WHATCOM, Dec. 12.?[Special.]? Represent-
atives of the road districts are in the city to at-tend the road bond convention. It is proposedtoboudthe county for $400,000 by a three fifth*vote. The citizens want the roads, but there isa diversity of opinion as to the amount of debtdesirable. Another meeting was held tonight,and the convention was divided on the propo-sition. Representative Tiffany and some othersspoke against the bonds.
The tide land claimants are preparing to pre-sent their claims.
The secretary of the navy has received acablegram l'rom Captain Schley, com-manding the United States steamer Balti-more, saying that as there appears to hono further necessity for the presenceof that vessel in Valparaiso, shesailed yesterday for San Franciseofor the purpose of being docked,and scraped. The York town is now theonly American warship at Valparaiso, butshe will he joined there in about ten d;t>'sby the cruiser Boston, which sailed fromMontevideo a few days ago.
Agent Rogers, of the Northern Pacific,has received orders to prepare to take careof 1,000 carloads of steel, and is puttingthe yards in shape for big business.
The contract for a railroad bridge for thespur across the Slough has been let to theSan Francisco Bridge Company. Theyhave their pile-driver here ready to com-mence work, and as soon as the bridgeis completed the other work will beready for the track. Commencing workfrom the west end of the extension willmake Sand Point lively, as it willprobablybe the headquarters for tracklayers andgeneral supply camps.
Work on the Granite cut-off of theNorthern Pacific road is progressing rap-idly, with the exception of the tunnel.Altogether about I<M) men are employed,and work is going forward from bothends. It is not being put through as lastas calculated upon.
A Taconia Woman Attempts Suicide.TACOMA.Dec. I£?[Special.]?Mrs. J. M. I'rayter,
aged 43, wife of a saloon-keeper, has recoveredfrom the effect of a dose of morphine which sheswaliowed Inst night with avowed suicidal in-tent. She refused to open her mouth to swallowemetics, necessitating the injection of the samohypodermically. She says her troubles causaher to wish to die. She threatens to suicide atthe very first opportunity.
HAWAII Kll'K FOR UK VOLITTIO!*.
Hubert Wilcox Says America PreventsKstablislinient of a Republic.
Mr. Tracy aud Mr. Harrison have been ledinto an error concerning our people and govern-ment. Their instructions of impartiality andamity have not been complied with. They arenot now, or have they been before, and if nocomplaints have been made against the minis-ter and sailors it is because they are puo-lic and notorious in Chile and the UnitedBtates, and could never have been made useof by our confidential agents, even when wellestablished. Balmaceda's demands aud eon-cessions were made in Juno ami July. Thewhole Itata affair; the San Francisco in Ouinterobay, and the matter of the cable company areproofs of it. It has been purposely misstatedthat North American sailors were attacked in
various localities at the same time. No finalsumming up having been concluded, it remainsunknown who and how many are the guiltyparties.
NRW YORK, Dec. 12. The If*»rf<Lprints severalletters from Robert Wilcox, the ilawaiiau revo-lutionist, to Captain Moreno, now at Washing-ton City, once prime minister of king Kalakuua,which throw some light ou the unsettled condi-tion of affairs in the islands. One letter, dutudOctober 17, says:
Oskrtdsie News.OAKKSDALK, Dec. LI? A large force of men are
at work putting up poles ior electric lights,which will be iu position as soon as possible.
I have just heard that Mott Smith is goin* toWashington City to make a treaty With a bayo-net clausu so a* to get the United Elates to pro-tect the missionary planters and their tool, thequeen, in spite of the wishes of the people.This is another scheme to destroy the plan* ofthe National party tor a republic. 1 also hearthat strict orders from the National party havebeen sent to you to instruct you to paralyze thiscowardly missionary scheme. The people aroanxious to hee the new republic under the pro-tection of the American eagle.
The Oaxesdale mills have been shut this weekwhile uew machinery was put in position. Ar-rangements have been made to grind cornmeal,and a carload of corn from lowa is expectedwithin a day or two. The mills will start upagain on Monday.
SHOOTING AFFKAT AT KOOTENAY.
Prizefighter Steel Wound* Saloon-Keeper Turner 0»«r Gnuhling (i»in«.KOOTKNAY, Idaho, Pec. 12.?[Special.]?Koot-
enay was thrown into a wild state of excitementthis evening on account of a shooting »crape inTurner <fc Cunningham's saloon. A 1 Turner andBill Stoel, a prizefighter, got into an altercationover some money, claimed by the latter, inTurner's possession. Turner attempted to makea "gun play," but Steel was the quicker andfired two shots, one builet going throughTurner's hat and the other strikinghiin in the neck. Turner will live.l)eputy Sheriff Wentzell entered the sa-loon, but Steel covered him with his pistoland escaped. He was arreted a few minuteslater t>v Weutzell, who followed him up, andwas lodged in jail. The shooting was the resultof a prizefight this afternoon between Red Gor-man and bill Hiel.
Fire st liemeraville, Mont.KALISPELL, Mont., Dec. 12.?[Special.]?Fire
swept out a block of business houses in Demers-ville, three miles south of here, at 5 o'clock thismorning, entailing a loss of about SIO,OOO. Allwere snloous, with two exceptions. There isonly fiiOO insurance on the proj>erty. As the firestarted in au empty building and at such anhour, there is no doubt but that the tire was ofincendiary origin.
To a friend in New York Moreno has writtensome very interesting letter* concerning the
Condition of affairs in Hawaii. Under date ofNovember 25 he wrote:Your excellency should take my note of No-
vember 'J, in answer to Minister Egmn, as well as
tile other note asking for evidence, which he didn*t like to give, although he h«d said he hndproofs of who were the murderers and otherguiltyparties of October 16; and a'.so all othernotes. Your excellency should have themtranslated and published. In tne meantime,please deny all that appears to the contrary. V\ eare sure of the right and propriety of Chile'sacts and of the final result in spite of the In-trigues that descend so low and threats thatcome from so high in this contingency.
The revolution is not toberpruuir until I havoreceived assurances from Mr. RUin# that taet'nited States navy will not !>e übie to interferein the domestic a'lv.r* of Hawaii and that !t<»
rounds of ammunition, arms, sailors normarine! will be loaned to the missionary r:ugin Honolulu in the event of a revolution. It isa shame tor the I'nited State* to p'.ay the [»au ofpoliceman in the Hawaiian n*Jand->. By doingso the United States imposes upon the Hawaiianpeople the mean, rapacious, cruel, hypocrite aland tyrannical missionary rule which u» t le
worst calamity that ever ttefeil a race. A con-dition of affairs similar to that in Hawaii eiistsin Samoa, where the Germans have obtained ei>n-
trol, to the detrimtnt the eommene, presideand influence of the United States, iust as theEnglish have done in Hawaii.
The Great Northern at tinohoiufsh.SNOHOMISH, Dec. 12.? [Special.]?The Great
Northern Kailroad Company has established anengineering headquarters here. Shepherd,Henry & Co., the contractors, have establishedan immense depot for supplies in the old Jack-sou store on the river bank. A large barn is be-ing erected for keeping horses.
A man was "rolled" here last night for S2O, andanother bunkoed out of |75. The town is stilllull oi thieves and rounder*. The sheriff hasbeen telegraphed for to come at once and renderhis assistance to Deputy Sheriffs Joe Warren, J.S. Mostly and Kllsworth Wentzell, who are here,and will endeavor to uphold the law. There arethreats of cleaning the town tomorrow by mobforce.
Senator Conaderillas asked last night foran explanation from Matte of his lettersto the American government referred toby President Harrison in the message asan insulting reply.
Matte replied that there was not theleast truth in the characterization. Henever penned an insulting reply to theUnited States administration. On the
other band, Egan's letters to theChilean foreign olfice are insultingin a marked degree. Matte thenwent on to maintain the truth of the datacontained in the circular letter to theChilean legations in Europe and America.He added in vehemency that Chile wouldact in every way with strict justice, andscored Egan and Consul McCreery for thealleged withholding of evidence neces-sary to arrive at a clear understandingof the merits of the Baltimore case. Hesaid nothing would prevent Chile fromfully investigating the affair or of punish-ing those found guilty in accordance withthe law of the land.
llerr Gutschmidt, the German minister,is doing all in his power to stir up ill-feel-ing against the United States government.It is said that he promised the Chilean ad-
ministration the support of the German
fleet in the event of a war between Chileand the United States. The entire corre-spondence bet ween the United States andChile on the political refugee and Balti-more outrage questions i. l - published todayin the official organ.

paraiso. under date of November 10, t< l!sot continued ill-treatinent of Americans,and of the refusal of the intendente of thecity to promise police protection to themarket boats of the Baltimore, necessitat-ing provisions being sent out by privateboats to the cruiser. At the date of theletter there was living on the Baltimore adoctor named Stanley, a British subject,who had been a resident of Chile fora number of years. He was a wit-ness to the attack upon Turnhull,the Baltimore sailor, who receivedtwenty knite wounds in the aTfraylast month and afterward died. Dr. Stan-ley defended the man as well as he could,and afterward took him to a hospital andcared for him. It was known that ustestimony would be damaging, and a fewdays later he was assaulted and arrested.Efforts were made to prevent his t« -ti-monv being taken, but when he was re-leased from prison he went aboard theBaltimore for protection. The membersof the crew of the Baltimore subscribednearly |T>OO in gold and purchased a mon-ument suitably inscribed to place over thegraves of Riggin and Turnbuli.
Another case of cruelty to Americanseamen has attracted attention. TheAmerican steamer Keewenaw, from NewYork for San Francisco, stopped at Val-paraiso in October. One of her crew, Pat-rick Shields, was arrested for drunken-ness. The man admits he was drunk, butsays he was given no hearing at all, andwas refused permission to communicatewith his captain on the vessel or with theconsulate. He was kept at work cleaningthe streets more than a week, andbrutally beaten by the police. When re-leased he was scarcely able to walk, hisback and arms being a mass of bruises,and according to the statement of a sur-geon who attended him lie received in-ternal injuries which will prevent himworking for several months. Consul Mc-Creery took the man to the intendente toshow the latter his injuries, but the in-tendente declined to look at him, thoughhe promised to investigate the matter. Noconclusion had been reached in the caieup to the date of the letter.
