Tha Ktmarslda was Acapnia Tha Eng-lish Point ar Viaw. Washington. May 15. The ime re-ply "no news" was made by acting secretary Ramsey this morning to the question as to whether he bad hoard from the Charleston or ltata. A. cable dispatch in cypher was received this moruing, presumably from admiral McCanu at Chile. It is known at the department that the Chilean insur-gent cruiser Esmeralda put into aeapulco a day or two ago She appeared there late in the eveniug and slipped out pf the harbor and dis-appeared before daylight. THE r.sMEIlALDA IN 1'ORT. Cirv uk Mexico, May 15.,--A dis-patch received late last night from Aeapulco says the Chilean cruiser entered that port yesterday itnd sailed again today. Several of her oftiocrs were ashore and used thu wires and male various Inqurica regarding tho action of the United states, showing that they were iutormed thut the cruiser Charles-ton had been sent in pursuit of the ltata. They steamed north to iutercept the ltata and protect her should the Charleston attempt to capture her. Tho ollicers who came ashore were very reticent, but from one of tho sail-- s it was learned that they expected to sight thu ltata and act a:; her consort down the coast. The Esmeralda has a numerous crew and in appearaucs they are veterans and will tight. The above dispatch is c ufirmad at the war department but the ollicers are iuclined to' bo reticent, A promi-nent official said the cruiser was warned not to remain in port as Mexico was not harboriug insurgent vessels and did not recognize auy other gov-ernment iu Chile than that of Baluia-coda- .

London, May 15 The Standard n an editorial this moruing says: "We can only account ior the American's extracrdiiia.-- y zeal in pursuing the Chilean steamer ltata rn the assumption that tha govei anient is delighted at having an opportunity retrospectively of justifying its Ala-bama contention as against England. It is doubtful, however. wueiher this ingenuous behavior can establish any new dictera in iuternational law. , FLASHES FPOM THE WIRES.

In the early morn-ing hours it did look as though showe'S might come, but as the day advanced and the sun showed itself through the ha.o, a shout of joy went up from a groop of trainers who bad gathered in front of the grand stand to watch tLelr worses work. The joy was short lived, however, fof about 1 o'clock a slow, drizzling rain bflgan. to fall, with every prosoect that it would conliuuo through the after-noon. " t The track before the rain was in as good condition as it was possible for human bands to make it, but, never-theless, it was not fast, and the rain has made it slow. The top drtesing that it has received lately has n:it become thoroughly packed and next to tha rails the track is quite deep.. This will suit most of the horses that will go to tie po3t for the handicap, and a great race is looked for. A continuous line of carriages of every description laden with men and women crossed the Brooklyn bridge this morning bound for the race track. A cumber of Tallyhos carrying gay crowds attracted much attention as they drove through the city of cburohes. It is expected 30,000 pep-pi- e will see the great race. The Brook-lyn handicap is tha fourth event, and it is not expected that tha horses wUl be sent off before 4:30. .y"" , New York. May 13.

When the new men went to work this morning they found the mine in possession of a number of Frenchwomen, wives of .the strikers, who defied the men with stones and clubs. The miners would not tight the women, so they left them in possession of the field. Detectives will come up from Deuver tonight and will use force if necessary to drive the women from the mine, to allow the miners to work. The Frenchmen threaten to assist tbeir wives.

On silver the platform says: "Recog-nizing the fact that tbe I'm ted States is the greatest silver-producin- country in the world, and that both gold and silver were equally the money of the constitution from the beginning of the republic until the hostile and fraudu-lent legislation of tbe republican party against silver, which unduly contracted the circulating medium of the country, and fueling that tbe great interests of the people demand more money for use in the channels of trade and com-merce, we tender our gratitude to the democrats of tbe last congress for their almost unanimous vote in both houses in favor of the free coinage of silver, and demand its restoration to the po-sition of equality before tha law giveu it by our fathers."

IthE POPE ON SOCIAL PR0BLEIV1S. lh Apprarrs of Worklnrmei'l ttooleties sod 8tat luterveation, Rome, May 15. The Latin text of the papal encyclical refute the socialist theories tending to abolish . private property and upholds tbe principles of the church as the first and main ele-ment in the solution of social ques-tions. Tbe true solution, the pope says, is to be found iu the Gospel, whic, rightly studied, would teach the employers and the employed to become united while fulfilling their respective duties. The state should intervene to regulate private property, in order to insure the public peace and morals and the material welfare of the working people. The pope comments on the necessity of Sunday rest, and deals at length 'with Btrikes for wages and hours of labor. He dilates on w orking-men'- s associations, including societies for mutual aid and accident insurance; speaks of benctit funds, of technical education and mixed syndicates of em-ployers and employes. The state ought to countenance all such institutions as calculated to improve existing social conditions. He speaks of the good work such institutions have already achieved, and calls upon Catholics to assist in their formation, urging that all should be animated by a Christian spirit. TWO INFANTS ELOPE.

BxelBStoa of Sicilian Immla-raa- Recera-meade- d Fusltian of Consul Carta. fi.s:jK May 15. The com- - :...: v mittee of fifty made its report to- tha Mayor last night. It says in part: "Tim tirst work of the eommitle' waa to from the Chief of Police a report of the ninety-fourt- assassinations by Italians and Sicilians where the accused escaped for want of evidence. Then following the assassination of Chief of Police Hennessy, the result of the trial demonstrated to the people that no one was safe from the mysterious band that was operating regardless of law. It was only when this tear grew into an absolute conviction that the people rose in their might, took the law iu tbeir hands, and then followed the event of March 14th." Tbe report then at length goes on to show the existence of the Mafia, and tel.s of a visit made to the Italian coa-su- l to secure information. He stated Uiat he was ready to ivith the committee, and would prepare a re-port containing the information iu his He was convinced of the existence of tbe Malia in the city, and had a stroug suspicion us to who were the leaders. He furnished the commit-tee both these names. He stated that prior to the Hennessy assassination ho had in some wi.y incurred the displeas-ure of the coterie, composed principally of the men who met death at tbe parish prison. They iuvited him to supper, and, although he partook only of oyster soup, he was taken desper-ately ill with symptoms of poisoning, and was satiated that his life had been attempted. The written information promised, however, never came. After some delay he notified tbe committee that, it being an extrajudicial body, he did not feel warranted in giving tbe in formation. During the interview with hiiu thi! committee called his attention to a published statement in a New York paper to the effect that the mayor had appointed un extra judicial body,, but its object was frustrated, owing to bis (Corte's) earnest protest aud the inter-vention of Mr. Blaine. "Wj reminded him that lis and prom-ine- nt Italian citizens had called on the committer before the mass meeting last fall and approved a pacific course, and asked him how he reconciled his published statement with this. He re-plied that tho rtatements he made in the New York Tribune were made as an individual' not as consul, and that the reporter greatly exaggerated bis statements." The committee, in pointing out rem-edies fur the existing trouble, suggests the regulation of immigration; retorm in tho criminal laws and administra-tion of criminal justice; a law recogniz-in- g the existence of tho Bar association and endowiug it with full power to try and disbar any httorney whose evil practices render him uuwortuy of being au officer of a court. "The only radical remedy which stig. geita itself to us is the entire prohibi-- , tion of immigration from Sicily and lower Italy, It was found necessary to prohibit Chinese immigration and con-gress passed the necessary law. The danger to California from the Chinese wasnogreattr than the danger to this state from the Sicilian and gouthera Italian. They are undesirable citizens, aud thure is no reason why they should be permitted to participate in the bless-ings of freedom and civilization, which they are not only unable to appreciate, but which they refuse to understand and to accept." Ths grand jury was called together today to ant on the published state, raents of Italian Consul Corte, that ho frustrated a plot of Italians for ven-geance on the mayor and othsrs. Cort was called before the grand jury, bub said be had been misinterpreted by the, , newspaper. There was a strong feel-- A in against the Italians here, aud he. had simply used his best effort! ia th, interest of pece and tjuie - A Hooking Valley Com promise. Columbus. Ohio, May 15.
