TEOUBLIS IX OTIinC SOUTHEnS EErCBLICS rrnov A surf coanEsrovDENT. Washington, July 27. There is n deal of "whispering these days in the corridors of the State Department is regard to Chilean matters. The whispers go that Minister Patrick Egan is about to be hauled over the coals for his open and peculiar espousal ot the cause of Balmaceda, and for deceiving this Government in regard to the state of affairs in Chile. It is asserted that but for information given by Egan this Government would not have plunged into the complications with which it has been beet ever since the be ginning of the trouble with the Itata, and out of which this Government will doubt less emerge with little credit to itself, and with the gain of nothing but a big bill of expenses for the performances ot the Charles ton. T-LACED IN A HAD POSITION". It is an undeniable fact that this Govern ment, through the representations of 3Iin Uter Egan, or for other reasons not known, has assumed a position not risked by any other Government. All others have been Mrictly neutral, and their representatives at Chile have only attempted to compose matters without t-howing the slightest par tiality for either the so-called insurgent Congress or the dictator Balmaceda, who has assumed absolute power, and has sup pressed every newspaper in Chile, except ing three, which he controls himself. Minister Egan's representations to the Stat Department, as given to The Dis- vatch corresrokdejtt ic-diy, are alleged to have been, and to ye; ce, entirely partial to Balmaceda, th- ''cia'or, and so blindly partial that the Siatc Dej-arimcjit is now routidering what the authorities look upon as gross deception in reg.irdto the real state of affairs. The f.trcngth of the ''Insur r;"nts," as th-y are called, their long battle against the pow- of the t-elf-appointed dictator, and the fair prospect of their suc cess, have led tin I'residentand the officials of the State Iq.artmcnt to look into the character of the conttnding armies more critically thin ever before, and, it is said, with much more respectful leelings toward the Cor.grfitional c::d cf the Chilean in. lirosrSin. FJNANOIAI, IVIiKaTS AT STAKE. 2.ettTs have b-cn received at the de partment rcoently charging that Jlinister Egan's partisanship for Balmaceda is due to n promire of the iatt-r that if Egan would influence the TJnittd States, Go, crnraent to mpport hi' cause, citizens of the United States would te favored above all others in contracts for working the great and valu able nitrate beds, which are almost wholly 5; the pos&eion of the Chilean Govern ment. An incident reported to the State Depart ment as happening recently and alleged r.pon the highest authority to be true isnow given to The Dim-atch for a first publica tion. A short time ago the Ministers in Chile of the three republics, the United States, France and Brazil, induced Balma ccla to agree to a meeting with nine of the moil prominent of the so-called insurgents toendea-or to arrive at a composition of the civil strife. As the nine envoys entered the city and nearcd the residence of Balma ceda a bomb wa exploded and Balmaceda's police closed in upon the envoys and i'rcted them upon the absurd charge of having thrown the bomb, as though they vould deliberately put their own necks into a noose. KB.vxrE TO THE ri-OKT. Thereupon the French Minister declared tiiat the nine envoys thonld be protected or he would order a French gunboat lying in the harbor to shell the city. By such he mic means he saved the lives of the. envoys. In all this proceeding, so the information received at the State Department declares, Minister Egan opentd not his mouth. He had joined as a matter of form in the re qjest for the mectini; of the envoys and Bal maceda, but w hen the lives of the envoys, called into existence by his act, were at r'.akc, he refused to say one word to iiave them. From this information it would also appear that Balmaceda is in great straits for vessels and ammunition. It is ullcgcd that "hcn the war broke out one Chilean war vessel was s.rnt to Great Britain and two to Franc; fer arms and ammunition. Attempting to carry out thctr purpose, the British and French Gov ernments, alive to the meaning of the situ ation, said they would not prevent the gun boats from proceeding homeward, but they could not take one ton of coal, one ounce of j.owder, nor a single gun from British or French soiL Other governments interested indorsed this view of the situation. This was an em phatic expression of the most rigid neu trality and in the most cunning manner, in marked contrast to the blundering methods of the Government of the United States, w hicli precipitated itself, possibly through the labors of its Chilean minister, on the sidp of the dictator. JSAI-MACEDA IX SOKE KEED. The Chilean gunboats are still across the Atlautic and at last accounts one of them v as aground in the mud of the Seine with- out coal enough to get tip steam to pull her self out. These vessels are dreadfully needed by Balmaceda in his business and their detention, none the less forced be cause it is indirect, may turn the tide in favor of the Ooneressional party. Officials at the State Department when asked what the United States intends to do, wink knowingly as much as to say that something will he heard in regard to Minis ter Egan before many days. It is asserted by one who ought to know, however, that 3tr. Egan has already been overhauled by letter and that this Government will get out of the Itain scrape as easily as possible and thenceforth occupy strictly neutral ground. BALMACEDA'S CRUELTY.

THE EEVOLT AT A STANDSTILL Judicial Authority Has Been Ite-Estab-lisued Throughout Chile. Saxtiago de Chile, July 27. An of ficial announcement has been made to the effect that revolt is not making any prog ress. After the defeat of the rebels at Yallenar 3,200 men were ordered from Iquique to Atacama, but 1,000 of them re fused to leave, as they had not received any pay. The rebels will not venture to attack the army at Coquimbo, although the forces there are isolated from the other Balma cedan forces.

A VICTIM OF TOBACCO. Edwin Booth Is Now Said to Bo Smoking Himself to Death. rsrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Buzzards Bay, Juk, July 27. It has leaked out since Edwin .Booth's departure Saturday from Buttermilk Bay, that the noted tragedian is smoking himself to death Edwin Booth'is a ww&tant user of tobacco.' IIc is forever smoking. This habit has ap parently seriouslv aflected his health, and threatens to end his career as abruptly, but certainly not in the same way, as it shut out the life of General Grant. He sought Buttermilk Bay for his health. ITc goes because no perceptible improve ment has come to him. He can't expect permanent relief while he persists in using tobacco. He refuses to pay tbe slightest had to the warnings of his close friends. His going from Buttermilk Bav is disap pointing, not only to Mr. Jefferson, but also to Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. They had hoped to keep Mr. Booth here and to gradu ally wean him from excessive smoking. His plans for the future are but little known here. A FATAL BULL FIGHT. FItlCHTFUI. KXPEKIENCE OF A TAKM HAND WITH THE BEAST. He Gives Battle "With a Pitchfork to the Maddened Animal After a Terrific Struggle the Bull Conquers Horrible Condition of the Victim. rsriCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. Cortland, X. Y., July 27. George Frieze, a farm hand, died early this morn ing from injuries received in an unequal fight with an infuriated bull. Frieze worked on George Petrie's farm, two miles south of here. In the herd of cattle on the place was a bull that had made several attempts to attack Frieze. "Whenever the laborer went into the lot where the bull was he always carried a three-pronged pitchfork for safety's sake. On Sunday morning Frieze entered the pasture to do the milking. He had just sat down on the milking stool, when he heard the bellowing of the bull and saw the ani mal charging down on him. He. quickly sprang to his feet and, knowing he could not reach a place of safety in time, seized his pitchfork. The bull rushed on with his nose almost touching the ground and his tail erect. Just as he reached Frieze the latter srjrang to one Bide and jabbed the pitchfork into the side of the maddened brute. Bellowing with pain and rage he turned and once more charged on the farm hand. Again the prongs of the fork were driven into his side. Frenzied, necked with foam, andbleeding from his wounds he again turned and made a rush for Frieze. The move was so sudden that the laborer could not dodge the beast. The pitchfork struck the animal square in the forehead. The force of the charge knocked Frieze to the ground. The bull trampled on him, but the man kept his hold on the fork. The bull saw that his victim was down and rushed at him, and as the fork again stuck in his nose he turned it aside Catching Frieze on his horns he tossed him in the air. The bull met him as he came down and again tossed him, catching him on his horns as he fell. Henry Brockman. who was some distance off, heard the cries of the man and the bel lowing of the bull. He hastened to the pasture and arrived in time to see the bull pawing at the form of the laborer, who was unconscious. As Brockman approached the bull picked Freiza up on his horns and hurled him ten feet over a three-rail fence into an adjoining lot. His body was a mass of cuts and bruiseSj and he was disem boweled. Medical aid was summoned, but nothing could be done. BOBBED HIS BKIDE. A Bridegroom Disappears With All His Toung Wife's Biches. tFBOM A STAFF CORBESPONDEXT. "Washington, July 27.

The Welshmen say they do not consider further restrictions of their output necessary. The dispatch was shown to H. R. DeMilt, one of the largest importers of tin plate, f and the representative in this city oi r. ri. Laufmann & Co., who are said to be making- an average of 200 boxes of tin plate daily at Apollo, near Pittsburg. Mr. DeMilt said: "There is nothing in that. Those people over there know very well that it would be impossible for American tin plate makers to get into running order within a month after the tariff went into effect. Besides the American market is now glutted with the tin plate which rushed over here last spring., and it will be overstocked for some time to come. As an evidence of this tin platejis to-day selling in the market at from 50 cents to SI a box lower than it can now possiblv be imported for. And even over there the price is now down to the very lowest point." ENOUGH TO LAST FOE MONTHS. "How much tin plate do you suppose there is now in the American market? was asked. "It is impossible to say," was Mr. De Milt's reply, "but there is certainly enough to supply the market for at least three or four months to come. Then, as to their starting up to-day there is a good reason for that. It must be understood that by send ing such enormous quantities of plate to America before the 1st of July, they not only very much depleted their stock, but made considerable profit. While the usual stock carried by the "Welsh mills is from 400,000 to 600,000 boxes, they had on the 1st of July about 163,000 boxes on hand, and this consisted largely of odd lots. Of course this depletion must be replenished, and they very well know that they will not lose anything by having a fair stock on hand when the demand begins again, which it certainly must to some degree, at least, when the stock on hand here is exhausted. There is no object in concealing the fact that our own manufacturers will not be able to supply anything like the demand for some time to come, even after they get into good running older, for our consumption is enormous, and there will consequently still be a heavy demand for the foreign goods, but these must be sold in competition with ours. This will stimulate the home indus try, and in course of time put it on a solid footing. DEMANDS OP THE WOBKMEN. "The reason the Welsh mills are starting a little earlier is to meet the dissatisfaction of their workmen,, who .are,, becoming dis contented that the mills should now shut down and throw them out of employment after having made'such a good thing bv the great demand for tin during the months of June and May. All we ask is a little time time to exhaust the supply with which every house here is loaded down, and time to get the works built and in running, order, "and then with new machinery, which mnst inevitably come and overturn the old fashioned methods of making the plates, there is no reason why America should not lead the world in the manufacture of tinned plates, as it does in so many other branches of industry." A dispatch from Washington says: United States Consul Wildman, at Singapore, has just sent the following report to the State jDepartment, which is timely in view of the tin plate agitation. He says the passage of the new tariff law, which placed a duty on tin plate, has a beneficial effect on the tin mining of the Malay peninsula, inasmuch as it increased the demand for pig tin in the United States. He says: "Formerly the tin that was destined for tin plate to be used in the United States was shipped in large quantities to different parts of the United Kingdom, where it was manufactured into tin plate and the plate exported to the United States instead of the raw material. With the duty on tin plate this industry became less profitable to the .English manutacturer, ana instead ot ship ping the manufactured article, the export of pig tin direct has in a great measure taken its place. In other words, pig tin is now going direct to the United States in stead of by the way of Great Britain. THE GBEAT SOUBCE OF SUPPLY. "According to the statements made bv the Governor of the Straits settlements, this Consular district mines half of the tin of the world. The export of tin Irom the Straits settlements to all countries for the vear 1889 amounted to 523,2.54,023. The price of tin has been quite firm since the passage of the new tariff law, fluctuating slightly between 531 23 in August, 1890, and 532 90, the present price . per picul (133 pounds). The quantity and value of tin from the Straitsjscttlements that finds its way to the United States can hardly be correctly ascertained by the quarterly re ports of, the colony, lor, as A have before pointed out, large quantities of tin, as well as other produce destined for the United States, are shinned via London and Hons- kong for reshipment, nnd consequently are not placed to the credit of the United States. "Howcver,thctinthatwentdirectly to the United States for the quarter ending Sep tember 30, 1890, amounted to 51,137,323 against 54,921,326 credited to the rest of the world, while for the quarter endeiDeccm ber 31, 1890, it amounted to 51,217,730, an increase of $GO,G07 over the preceding quarter, against 53,626,009 credited to the rest of the world.of which 52,306,921 went to the United Kingdom. About one-tenth of the carrying of tin between this port and tho United States is done in Americon bot toms. The firms shipping from here are English and Germans. There is no Ameri can capital engaged in the production or export of tin, although the United States is such a heavy buyer. In my judgment, if an American house cere to be established in Singapore, it would control not only all the shipments of tin to the United States, but the shinment of nearly all of the 511.- 000,000 of exports from the Straits settle ments of the United States."

AYoung Couple Finally Compelled to Marry in the Middle or the Road. rmOM A STAPP CORHESrOXDEST.I Washington, July 27. The good citizens of Takoma yesterday had an op portunity to attend a rather novel wedding ceremony. The contracting parties were a Mr. Devalt and Miss Annie Morse, and they lived in Montgomery county. The parties interested were all on hand prompt ly and so was quite a large contingent of friends. When the minister looked at the marriage license he announced that he could not Tierfarm. -the- ceremony in Maryland. Thelicense, he said, was only good'for a marriage in the District. This unexpected hitch in the arrangements seemed likely to prevent the wedding, until the happy thought occurred to some one that they might cross over the District line and then the ceremony could be performed. It was no sooner suggested than acted on. AVhen the District line was passed and the legal authority of the license was conferred on the minister, a halt was called and there inthe middle of the dusty road the bridal couple stood up before the minister and were soon made man and wife. The cere mony was witnessed by a large crowd. HEW LEAD TRUST DEAL. A Meeting for the Reorganization of the Concern Called for August 37. rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCII.1 New York, July 27.

Chautauqua, N. Y., July 27. Tn University of Pennsylvania has just cem into the possession of several handsome be quests through the untiring energy and in dustry of Prof. Francis N. Thorpe, who it now lecturing at Chautauqua. Prof. Thorpe received advices from the benefactors to day, which makes it possible to give a de tailed account of the new school,the success of which is assured. The new institution is to be known as the School of American History and Institutions. Everything that pertains to America in the way of history, literature, law and lore of any kind is to be studied. Prof. Thorpe is to be the dean of the new school, and has spent over five years in perfecting his plans and elaborat ing his ideas. One bequest of 5300,000 slipped through the Professor's hands, on account of the un fortunate failure in business of the intend ed donor. The bequests referred to come from several prominent gentlemen In Phila delphia and New York, whose names are withheld for the present. The amounts sub scribed will reach in thp npicrhhnrhood of . several hundred thousand dollars. But the important thing to be noted is that a new . school, distinctively American, is to.be organized, equipped and administered in such a way as to emphasize the place that . American institntions shonld hold in the present history of the world's progress. It will be made np of different departments with special courses, as follows: school op history. The history of American legislation in all the States and in Congress (this course will be for the benefit of lawyers); second, State constitutional history; third, the history of the great movements in education (this it intended for the 300,000 school teachers in the land); fourth, the history of the church; fifth, the history of diplomacy; sixth, the history of municipal affairs, and the growth of cities; seventh, the history of politics and political parties. A school of journalism will also be started, and a prominent man will give his attention especially to the history of the American newspaper in its growth. Among the prominent professors who will be con nected with this school, are the Dean of the Law School, C. Stewart Patterson; Prof. E. J. James, the political economist, Prof. Thompson and others. Prof. Thorpe has his eye on several prominent men, but until they are engaged no names can be given out. The library will be one of the finest on this continent, containing over 50,000 volumes. It will be very rich and complete in every line bearing on Ameri can history, literature and law. It will contain a complete and official record of the national Government, some 4,000 volumes, as well as a complete selection of the laws of everv State "in the Union. The cele brated library of Mr. Jameson, of Chicago, will also form a part of "it. AIT ATTRACTIVE COURSE. The course will be very attractive to po litical men, lawyers, newspaper "men, students and writers in general. For ex ample, in the study of municipal affairs and the growth of cities, etc, much attention will be given to every possible improvement in the way of management and government of the city. The library has already city ordinances of nearly 100 cities in America. This number will be increased as rapidly a possible. The school at present will occupy part of the library building and jiart of the College of Arts, but a new building will be constructed as early as possible. Prof. Thorpe will take a swing around the circle within the next six weeks and visit several of the benefactors referred to, when the names and the amount of subscription will be definitely announced. But the principal point of the whole thing is that the success of the school is certain, and (hat enough money has been subscribed to put itupon a very substantial footing, as well as to embody a very comprehensive plan. The school will be the only one of the kind in America. That it will be a big thing can be gathered from the mere state ment here that the president of a very prominent university has just made ah attractive offer to Prof. Thorpe for the establishment of such a school at the Presi dent's own university. The new school will be started on October 1 in Philadel phia, and Prof. Thorpe has already re ceived over 500 applications from would-be students. A CITY WITHOUT WATER.
