QHEASANT PUTS TO SEA
like Imperial to Follow 'l‘o-Morrow--All
the Others Ordered in :Readiness, but
Not Likely to Be Called For-«To Trans-
{crin the Empress Into a Fighter.
Victoria, B. C., Jan. 21.—-—Orders have
seen received at Esquimault, by Rear
kalmiral Palliser, from the Admiralty,
ratcheting him to have every vessel
mills fleet ready to start for China on
warty-eight hours’ notice.
Immediately all was bustle around
file: dockyards, the crews of the differ-
ent; vessels being busily engaged rush—
ng coal and provisions on board.
~Then came an order for Her, Majes-
::c’s ship Pheasant to start on her trip
across the Pacific yesterday, she being
nearer ready than the others. Later
instructions were received for H. M. S.
imperial, the flagship of the squadron,
to proceed to the scene of activity.
She will start to-morrow. It is not
known whether or not Admiral Palliser
will accompany her.’ ’
It is not Likely, unless the conditions
in t‘.e Orient reach a climax, that the
otlin 1' vessels at present here will be
arr" red there. The Icarius is only a
alkali vessel and the Phateon and
Leander, having just completed a long
r:.~.y‘age, are in need "of some repairs.
In fact, the Leander is already in the
‘lry dock and the Phaeton is to follow
her.
It is not known just where H. M. S.
Amphion is at present, but she has
probably completed her work at Cocos
island, and is coming north, being un-
der orders to report at Esquimault. The
torpedo boat Destroyer will remain at
Esquimault.
The next order was one to have the
--§irma1ncnt of the Empress boats ready
to be shipped on short notice.
. To Add to Her Navy.
London, Jan. 21.—The Central News
says that the Government has decided,
.in view of the Chinese situation, to in-
crease the personnel of the navy by 5,-
300 men. and 2,000 additional stokers
will also be engaged within the current
quarter, besides a large number of en-
gine room artificers.
TCHREE FIGHTS PENDING.
L’hoynski. Jackson, Ryan and Jefl‘ries
Training in California.
, San Francisco, Jan. 21.—The sports of
San Francisco will witness, probably
within the next-two months, a series
of contests between three pairs of
heavy-weight boxers, which may de-
termine who is really the coming cham-
pion. The Choynski and Tut Ryan
fiewnty-round contest, which will take
place under the auspices of the Em-
pire Athletic Club, is booked for the
evening of February 11, at Mechanics’
‘Pavilion.
Peter Jackson is training faithfully
across the bay in Alameda for anything
"that may turn up in the way of a
match. Peter is tolerably confident of
meeting‘Maher in the near future. At
any rate Jackson has taken time by
the forelock and to the surprise of his
admirers he is training faithfully and
will assuredly be in the pink of condi-
‘tion when he is called upon to give
an. account of himself. Jeffries is also
at work in Alameda for his prospective
matclrwith Tom Sharkey.
.7 Japanese Cruiser Launched.
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.—The Japanese
cruiser Kasagi was successfully
launched yesterday afternoon. Instead
of the traditional breaking of a. bottle
of champagne in the christening cere-
mony, two white doves were released
by the sponsor, Miss Long, daughterof
the Secretary of the Navy. The Ka-
sagi is the most importan ship ever
built in the United States for a for-
eign country and is the first foreign
warship launched-in America since the
R‘uSsian warship Zobica, in 1878. The
custom of releasing white doves at
the launching of a Japanese cruiser has
its origin in history, but more in fable.
Ever since Japan had a navy the cus-
tom has been in vogue, and the release
of the two young birds is to symbolize
' the happy fruition of a great endeavor
accomplished through the intercession
of white winged peace.

Washington, Jan. 21.—The programme
"For the reception and entertainment on
.fifresident Dole, of Hawaii, has not yel
been arranged. Major Heistand for tht
War Department and Lieut. Phelps for
the Navy are in-conference on the sub-
ject, and will have the matter settled

as can be without consulting him. One
feature has been settled upon, which
will'be a dinner given by the Presidenl
in the visitor's honor.
Strike Situation Unchanged.
Boston, Jan. 21.—The morning of the
fifth day of the strike of cotton textile.
operatives in several New England
cities brought out nothing new to either
aide, unless possibly it was a. more
deeply settled feeling of determina-
tion on the part of the-strikers to wait
for the manufacturers to yield.

The Words . that Carry
Weight in Norwalk Are'
from Norwalk People.
When anything that promises relief
is offered you,‘ the first thing you wish
to know is if it ever helped anyone else;
and the amount of faith you will have
in trying it will depend upon the relia-
bility of the testimony offered in its
half. When this is from remote
strangers, way beyond the reach of your
consultation, doubts may remain: but
when it comes from disinterested N or-
walk people, whom you can consult- at
any time, its reliability is apparent; its
truth not to be doubted. And the tea
timon y of N orwalk people, and of pron:-
united in
declaring“ that California Catlu'rh Cure
cures catarrh, that it removes .all
traces of this persistent and humiliat-
ing disease. Note the words of a man
you know you can believe: ‘
Mr. D. C. Croft,'Il East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that California Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone sufi'ering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief is per-
manent.”

Hi 7 WITH A SANDBAG.
alvafion Army Lassie Assaulted by a
l-‘ormer Lieutenant.
.‘(cu' York, Jan. 21.-Captain Annie
mugston Hughes, an assistant secre-
L0 Commander Ballington Booth
: the American Volunteers, is lying in
critical condition at her home at
.:;:nge, N. J., as the result of a mur-
clUUS assault [made upon her on Jan-
dry 13. Ehrich A. Prisman, an ex-
cnvict. who until January 12 was a
icutc—nant in the Volunteers, is under
nest in this city and held to await
xtradition papers from the Jersey au-
horities.
Prisnian’s assault upon Captain
{Light-s was a mistake upon his part,
.5 he undoubtedly, if he made the at—
empt. intended to kill Captain Hughes‘
ister. Major Jennie Hughes, the pri-
nte secretary of Mrs. Ballington
tooth. His reasons for assaulting
v_':.j.:.r Hughes were two—first, she had
rt‘used to accept his attentions, and.
ccond, she had him dismissed from
he service. _
Major Hughes and her mother'were
.efore the Essex County Grand. Jury
'esterday, and a true bill will be re-
urned against Prisman to-day charg-
ug him with felonious assault in the
lrst degree. It has been practically es-
ablished that the weapon which he
ised in his assault upon Captain
Iughes was a sandbag made by a pris-
oner in Sing Sing and presented to
:Irs. Ballington Booth to show that
vhen he was set at liberty he had no
urther use for such weapons.
The assault upon Captain Hughes
vas particularly brutal, and that she
vas not killed outright was due, ac-
ording to the physicians who attended
181‘, to the manner in which she wore
ier hair. i...
BIG FIND OF BAD MONEY.
592,600 in Counterfeits Discovered in
a New York Chimney.
New York, Jan. 21.——Walter Nash of
he West Hoboken police yesterday
'ound $92,600 worth of counterfeit
money in the vacant house at 542 Ann
utreet. It was ajll'in bogus 3100 notes
-n the Bank of Montreal. The house
vas the one formerly occupied by Will-
am Brockway and his, confederates,
lbbie L. Smith and William E. Wag-
ier. They were arrested in August,
895, charged with counterfeiting.
Brockway was indicted separately for
raving in his possession counterfeit
dates of $500 Uunited States goidcertifl-
sates and $100 notes of the Bank of
dontreal. and fibre. '
He will long be remembered as one of
he most skilful forgets and counter-
'eiters known in this country. He was
Ll‘rested in 1880 for forging United
ltates bonds to the amount of $204,000.
)ut sentence was suspended because
1e gave vauable information. He was
irrested again in 1883 and served five
rears for forging a. railroad bond. He
5 now serving a ten years’ sentence
n the State Prison at Trenton, having
)een found guilty of the charges which
ed to his arrrest in 1895. At the time
)f the arrest, Secret Service Agent
Bagg was convinced that all the coun-
erfeit money had not been found, and
1e made an ineffectual search for it.
\Iash had'been searching for the coun-
erfeits for several weeks. H went from
:ellar to attic, and in the attic his per~
:istency was rewarded. His attention
was called yesterday to some loose
bricks on the floor, and in the hole
which they left he came across the
honey which hadso long been hunted
for. The United States Treasury De-
partment has been notified, and the
Secret Service men will take charge of
the counterfeits and try to find the
olate.

maker fight against. Senator Quay in
Philadelphia. has been carried’into the
White House. Twenty men represent—
ng a business men’s league of Phila-
delphia visited President McKinley
vesterday to protest against the lap—
pointment of State" Senator Thomas to

They represented to the President
chat the appointment of Mr. Thomas
would be objectionable to a large num-
oer of business men who have transac-

who has been indorsed by Senators
the delegation
wished to have Major Hancock, 3. Wan-
amaker man, appointed Collector. The

luestion thoroughly before making an
appointment.
