Of course the mere men—
tion of cork sole shoes brings
to your mind the thought of
excellence and quality.
True, the name is attached
to some very low priced
goods, but then, the genuine
cork sole shoe represents
something way up high in
foot wear.
I am talking about that
kind now.
I. mean the very best in the
market.
I mean a good variety for
you to choose from.

A BAD SNUB FROM CHILI
If Her Alleged Reply to Uncle Sam
Is True Affairs Are Serious.
THE POSSIBILITY OF WAR.
What Showing the United States Could
Make and \Vhat Chili Could Com- '
bat Us with if Extreme Mons-
ures Should Bo Beoortod To.
VVASHINGTON,Oct.30.-—Nothing is known
at the state department of the reported
reply of the junta to the demand of this
government for an explanation of the Val-
paraiso imbroglio; The report referred to
wasgivou in an Associated Press dispatch
from Santiago, and is as follows:
The Chilinn government has replied to Min-
ister Egan‘s demand for an explanation of the
recent attack upon American sailors. Tho ro-
ply is couched in very strong language, and
it is understood amounts to s. refusal to ac-
copt responsibility for the aflnir. The state
department at Washington has been notified.
Minister Egan, Commander Schloy and Con-
sul McCrecry are consulting together, and it 18
thought that decisive action will be taken soon.
The state dopartmont‘s orders in reforonco to
the matter are very strong.
The intendento of Valparaiso has refused to
guarantee the oafoty of market boots coming to
that city early in ~tho_morning from the United
States cruiser Baltimore, or the safoty of officers
of that vessel coming ashore at night. Thoro' 1s
a practical boycott on tho Baltimore. N o Amor-
ican sailors are allowed nshOr0.-
The fooling in official circles 1s that the
whole matter will be adjusted to the en-
tire satisfaction of the United States, but
if the Santiago diipotch states the situa-
tion correctly, the crisis is an exceedingly
grave 0110.
In tho Evont of War.
The question arises as to just what tho
United Stotos could do in the event of war
being dodlarod with Chili. The United
States has a navy of sixteen serviceable
ships. . When the president tho other day
asked Secretary Tracy to furnish him with
a. list "Of 'war vessels that could be got
ready—in ninety days for a fight, tho secre-
tary, replied to the elect that ho had those
sixteen vessels in fairly good condition,
and that they . could be got ready to pro-
ceed to Chilian waters in that time.
The Baltimore is already at Valparaiso.
It was some of her men who wore mur-
dered down there. The Boston is now on
route for Valparaiso, as is the Yorktown.
The San Francisco is at Collao. She has
beeu'ordered back to San Francisco. She
will there go on the dry dock and be re-
paired. She has been at sea for some time,
and is not in a very good condition. The
Newark, now fitting out at Boston, could
be ordered to proceed almost immediately.
So could the Petrol, which is in New Yerk
waters.
Besides these vessels, the Philadelphia,
Kearsarge and Concord, of Rear Admiral
Gherardi’ a command; the Chicago, At-
lanta and Bennington, of Acting Rear Ad-
miral Walker’s command, could 'also be
got ready. The Yantic is also on her way
to South American waters. The Thetis,
the Mohegan and the Ranger are at San
Francisco and would swell the number.
Besides this fleet, there is the new moni-
tor, Miantonomoh, which was put into
commission only the other day. She could
be ordered to the scene of the trouble and
could do good ‘work. Her four 10-inch
guns could do a great deal of damage in
Valparaiso, though at least five miles ed
'the coast _
“ * Tho Chilian Navy.
The Chilian navy in comparison is con-
siderably stronger than the United States
navy. It consists of thirty-two fighting
vessels. Besides the government has the
power to subsidize the fine steamships of
the North American Navigation company,
a passenger line of steamships owned by
Chilian capitalists. These steamships
could be manned and armed and would
_ form quite an important addition to the
fleet. They are so built that a. long range
gun could be placed on each one of them.
They would serve in time of war, however,
more as transport ships. -
. The Chilian navy proper consists of three
battle ships, three armored cruisers, two
torpedo cruisers, five, corvettes, one dis-
patch boat, five gunboats and thirteen tor-
pedo boats. The largest battle ship is the
Captain Prat. She is 6,900 tons. She was
built but recently and cost £391,000. She
4 is 328 feet long and has a breadth of beam
of 32 feet. She has a coat of armor 12
inches thick on her. She carries four
24-centimeter breech loading rifles and
eight 12-ce11timeter breech loading rifles.
She draws 24feet 10 inches of water and
has a speed of 19 knots an hour. She
is therefore one of the strongest and
most dangerous battle ships afloat.
As Good as Any of Our Boats.
The next largest battleship is the Almi-
rante Cochrane. She is of 3,500 tons and
is of iron. She has a coat of armor9 inches
thick. She is 210 feet long, an has a .
breadth of beam of 45 feet 9 inches. Be-
hind her armor she has 7% inches of pack-
ing, a total protection therefore of nearly
16 inches. She carries four Armstrong 9-
inch breech loading rifles and two Arm-
strong,r 7-inch guns. besides rapid firing
and Gatling guns in her tops. Each of
her 9—inch guns weighs 18 tons. She draws
19 feet 8 inches of water, and has a speed
of 13 knots. This vessel took a prominent
part in the war just ended, and with her
sister ship, the Encalada, captured the
little Huascar.
The last mentioned vessel was probably
most heard of in the war between Peru
and Chili. Single handed she kept the
two vessels at bay, doing great damage.
the war against Peru. The Husacar' 18 of
She Is 200 feet long and 35
feet broad. She has an armor of 4% inches.
She is of' iron, and has a bow of solid brass,
drawn to a very fine edge, so that she is
invaluable as a ram. She carries two 10-
inch Armstrong guns in a turret 5% inches
thiCk, and two 40-pounders fore and aft.
The sister cruisers, the Presidents Erra-
suniz and Presidents Pinto, completed
within the past year, are as good as any of
the vessels of their kind in the United
States navy. They are of 2,080 tons bur-
den, and built of steel and coppered. They
each carry two 12-inch breech loading guns
and four others of slightly smaller caliber.

EVANSVILLB, Oct. 30 ——Forest fires along
the Louisville, Evansville and St. Louis
and the Evansville and Indianapolis roil-
ronds are still raging, and thousands of
dollars’ worth of property-hos been de—
stroyod. At English, Pigeon and Hockey
the people are terror stricken. and are
making fire guards to prevent the destruc-
tion of the» towns. The fires burned
over the 300 acre form of- Thomas Feather-
stono and destroyed everything in sight.
The sawmill of George C'hspelle and 100,-
000 feet of quarter oak lumber were
burned. For miles on the Louisville,
Evansville and St. Louis roads the woods
are burning on both sides of the track,
and trains are compelled to go through
clouds of sparks and smoke. Nothing but
heavy rains can check the destruction now
going on. '
No Rain for Two Heaths.
LITTLE ROCK, Oct. Sid—Forest fires are
raging in Monroe county. Fields have
contents, have been consumed, involving
great loss. No rain has fallen in two
months, and the autumn leaves are feed.-
ing the fires. The smoke from the fires,
with the great dust, makes the atmosphere
suffocating.
Toxos Burning.
BU'RIIVILLE, Oct. 80.—In this (Newton)
county much timber is being destroyed
by forest fires. The country is so dry from
protracted drought that grave apprehen-
sion is folt. The smoke is so dense that a.

Ion n'nd Eva's Ito-loco.
NEW Yeas, Oct. lid—Rev. David Junor,
pastor of tho Mount Olivot Presbyterian
church, Brooklyn, of which Samuel Thom-
ton and Miss Eva Jewoll are members,
gave out his ofiiciol report of the “Sam
and Eva” matter. There is nothing new
in the four columns of matter sent out. It
records at length the trip of the young
people to Coney Island; their drifting out
to sea on slog at the rats of eighteen miles
an hour against the tide; their being
picked up by a vessel, name unknown, and
their subsequent landing upon an impos-
sible point of the Florida coast. The re-
port says that the church believes that the
young people were really cast away.

BUCKPon'I‘, Ark, Oct. 30. —At :1 Farmers’

guns and pistols were used with deadly
eifect. Burt Manning, J H. Toenail and
three others ii hose names could not be
learned were killed and several slightly
wounded. Sheriff Goodwin, of Union
county, left Eldorado for the scene of the
trouble. Politics was the sole cause of the
row.
