Washixgiok, Aug. 31. All was quiet
as a funeral to-day at the house of the Bal
mnccdan Legation, if indeed it can be gien
this doubtful designatiAn. Uy the United
States Government Senor Lazcano is still
recognized as the Minister from Chile,
though lie really represents nobody, lie
will continue to be so rccognied until the
. new -Government becomes organized and a
successor is appointed.
It is expected here ' that Senor PedroJ
Monti, who has been here for some time as
confidential agent of the Congressionalist
party and chief of the several enoys sent"
by that party, will be designated -as
ter, and then we will have the specta
u of the State Department an'd the-Presi-d.at
receiving as Minister one to
whom they refused even decent treat
ment nhen he was an 4 envoy.
iSo one will sympathize witli the officials
" of the State Department if they art lorced
to eat humble pie, as they have been con
stantly opposed to the popular feeling iu
this city and in the whole country in regard
I to the merits of the bloody controversy in
I the shoestring republic of the southern
antipodes.
Oi
j CHEAT DKAI. QP MYSTERY.
i The State Department is exceedingly sc
Jcretive iu regard to the information on
Jihich it has acted. The officials are trying
to be very 'Jsmart" in their efforts to avoid
i scandal, and the administration does not
p -? i nviw-thelriih-OJtrifit Miii-,
ter Egau, if it can be abided, on aeeouuV
of the disastrous cUcct it might have on the
Irish vote next year.
Even if matters are iu a way hushed up
at this time, it is very certain tint -Congress
will not have been in session for a week
next December before the Secretary of
State is called upon to submit all the cor
respondence in regard to the relations of
the United States and Chile, and a severe
criticism of the conduct of the administra
tion in this affair may be expected from
Republicans as well as Democrats.
S.OJ1E l'OI.ITICAti CATITAT.
Moreo er, if Eean can be reached in any
to he will be investigated with a big
searchlight. The Democrats especially will
insist on this, as they do not easily forgh e
:.n Irishman who votes the Republican
ticket, to say nothing of one who accepts
olhce at the hands of a Republican adminis
tration. Certainly the career of Mr. Egan in the
field of Smith American diplomacy is ended.
Leaving aside the charges made ngninst him
or more than a po'itical Interest in the suc
cess of Balmaceda, w hicl. most iin olvo Iiim
with his own government, his bold expres
sion of opposition to and contempt for tho
Congressional party are too well kttbwn to
admit of a possibility of his being
een briefly, acceptable to the ad
ministration of that party after it gets
settled in its seat with a Arm hold or the
governmental reins.
He seems to liai e written promiscuously
to spread his contemptuous opinions of
the now victorious party. There aro
In this city m the hands of officials
of the navy letters from him
in which he speaks of tho Congressional
party as a party oT tho roughs and of tho
mob, while Balmnceda represented the re
spectable element the reverse being the
case.
THE AWSITRAI., ALSO.
The conduct of Admiral Brown, in mak ing
war vessels of the United States a" place of
refuge for fleeing officials of the administra
tion of the dictator, is also severely criti
cised here, and if tho Admiral be not nble
togne a very clear and satisfactory ex
planation m his report to the State Depart
ment, he Mill also doubtless bo o crhauled
to satisfy popular demand, though It is prob
able tho administration will seek to be as
- gentle as possible with any -ho were
ivirttcipitcs enminis with itself in tho con
spiracy to uphold the dictator, Ealmacoda
Altogether the conduct of tho United
States (Jovernmcnt and its agents in this
Chilean broil is considered by those who
were merely Intelligent lookers-on as highly
extraordinary, especially as monarchical
;overnmcnts chose a much more liberal
policy toward tho popular Govern
ment, or Congressional party, and w hose
t .great newsppers like the London limes
are calling fortbo severest investigation of
a British warvtssel in carrj ing away mili
- ions of Government funds at the behest of a
self-appointed rulor who is now a fugitive
underlie.

THE FIEST STJBBENDEB DISPATCH.
A Chilean Tries to Kxplaln Away the'Bogus
News of Insurgent Defeat.
VVashimotox, Aug. 31. A friend of the
Chilean Minister is authority for a conjec
ture that a curious mistake was made at
some point in the transmission to the Minis
ter or the dispatch of last Thursday an
nouncing the surrender of the Insurgent
army at Vina del Mar. "
Tho dispatch came, as these disnatches
usually do. in cipher, and it contained U?2
equivalent of a Spanish , word "rendieron,"
meaning iu English surrendered," whereas
what was doubtless meant was tho word
"rendlran," meaning ."will surrender. The
dispatch was received In the same terms At
the Chilean legations in Europe. It is also
thought, however! taat the dispatch might
possibly have been a bogus one.

NkavJY-ork, Aug. 31. Telegrams re
ceived bWifcw York merchants by their
Chileanjcorrespondcnts to-day confirm the
news bf the complete overthrow Of the Bal
rnacecuVparty. Charles .R. Flint, who lias
been in close communication with the in
surgents, said: "We have icablcgrnnis
from" Santiago which say that Balma
Ceda is not to be found and that
ttiere is but one party in Chile. A
Iirovisional government has been cstab
Uhed, and before long a President will be
elected. The leaders of what was known as
,the insurgent party are men of wealth, in-
leuigenccanu muuer&tion. x uo nutiiuuit
Balmaccda, if caught, will suffer any more
serious punishment than banishment. I un
derstand that Chilean bonds have already
advanced 10 per cent in the London market.
"To mo the best confirmation of the news
is the fact that we are receiving, cablegrams
to fill orders which weie suspended during
the trouble.' The insurgents hao shqwn
moderation throughout, and thqv arc no
doubt settling affairs with a view
of pacifying any animosity that may
exist. As to the new President, there
are severalcandidates mentioned Belesario,
Prates, Lrrazuriz, Walker, Mortiney, Canto.
The last man named was the military leader
of the revolution. Ills .candidacy is not
looked upon -with OTry-Afavor. The feeling
inChlleOias been against a military presi
dent and that feeling is no doubt very
strong Justuow. I thmk the president will
be a civilian."
- U illiam K. Grace is ill at his home on Long
Island. J.R. Grace saiil: "Wo are informed
that all difficulties are at an end and the
revolutionary party Is triumphant. I think
this settlement of the trouhlois In favorofbet

Balmaceda, who acted as a dictator, and had

A DECISION TO-DAY
AS TO THE COST OF ALLEGHENY'S PUB

Assistant Secretary Croose to Give His
Opinion as to Whether Moro Than SG5,
000 Can Bo' Used The Building May
Tet Be Lost
FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.:
Washington, Aue. 3L Assistant Sec
retary Crouse, of the Treasury Department,
said to-day that to-morrow he will make a
statement of the matter of the appropria
tion for the Allegheny Government build
ing site to the Solicitor of the Treasury lor
a final opinion whether the original appro
priation of 565,000- only is available for the
purchase of a site, or -whether the subse
quent appropriation of $35,000 for "com
mencing operations" may also bo Included.
No formal opinion has been rendered on
this Subject. The Law Clerk of tho office of
the Supervising Architect submitted as Mb
opinion that the appropriation of $63,000
only was avallablennd there the case rested,
and the attempt -was made to seenre a satis
factory site within that sum. As that seems
to be impossible, the act of Congress malt
ing the subsequent appropriation of $33,000
will be submitted to Solicitor Hepburn for
his construction. It Is vaguely worded, and
by straining a point It maybe construed
favorably to tho employment of tho entire
sum of $100,000, or so much or It as may be
negessary for tlte purchase of a site, merely
reserving enough to begin operations.
In case Uie Solicitor agrees with the Law
Clerk xf tho ofllce of the Supervising Archi
tect, the only resource will bo to ask Con
gress to inct case the appropriation for tho
site, and In that case a House bf Representa
tives devoted to a cheese-paring- policy, as
the next one will probably, be, may decide
that Allegheny does not need a new build
ing at all, and bo repeal both of tho acts
making appropriations.

Chicaq.0. Aug. 3L Senator Washburn, of
Minnesota, thinks theio has been a con
spiracy of defamation to drivo Secretary of
State Blaine from the Presldeutal field.
The Senator Is onlils way home after a long
tour otEuropc
"A-deliberate attempt was made," said
the Senator thin Afternoon. "to convince
the-world-tbat his health Jwas. broken and'
,iuat ins brilliant mind had failed, aney
are trying to ruin Blaine's reputation, not
only inthis country but also in Europe. It
Is a noticeable fact that all attacks on Blaine
ro printed at length In all English papers.
Before I sailed I saw Mr. Blaine nt "Wash
ington. Ho told md he; was Jn excellent
health. When I reod these stories ..in Eng
lish papers I at first paid, no attention to
thetn. Coming back from tape north, I go$
a copy of tho London Timet nt Drontheim.
The first thing I saw was a flaming dispatch
from Bar Harbor announcing that BUiine
was dyings f cabled Senator Hale and
promptly gotj. -eply that Blaine w as steadi
ly Improving, "liut I was scared, and so
were.all the Americans in Europe."
In conclusion tho Senator said he wa of

Seremntory refusal to run can prevent Mr,

attend tho meeting at I'omeroy without
inconvenience and loss of time, Major Mc-
iiiiueywas reqnesicu to auuress tuem at

It is the remark of those who are taking
pbscrvations on McKinley's physical con
dition and the manner in which he is stand
ing tho strong work of tho campaign, that
they never saw him looking bettor nnd in
better spirits than lie exhibited at head

"with his health. Mr. McKinley will leave

Even the political opponents of Governor
Campbell are sympathizing with him. Ills

he wns unable to leave his room. Tho slight
change in tho weather Friday night caused
what might be termed a relanse-and -it is
now Indefinite as to when he will bo able to

him.
His physician states that he has given the
Governor all the medicine necessary and the
only thing now that will do him any good Is
a change of air and location. It is probable
that within tho next two or three days the
Governor will leave for some point, in the
East, if his physician is able to make lilm see
tho importance of such a move.
Governor Foraker has been assigned to

COLLECTOR FASSETT CALLED DOWN
CSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO TnE DISPATCH.
New YonK, Ang. 31. Collector Fassett's
office in the Custom House had quite a
throng of visitors at 4 o'clock this after
noon. All were waiting to see Mr. Fassett,
who was then engaged in a conversation
with a young man, rather short, and very
nicely dressed, who kept his straw hat on.
All the other visitors had their hats off, as
the Collector's hat was off also. Collector
Fas'sett sat' in his chair while the young
man stood up, and every now and then the
young man punctuated his remarks by
punching the Collector's table. f
He was irritated about 'something. His
manner'wfls so emphatic that the visitors all
kept their eyes on him. He stood there for
IS minutes, banging the desk and talking to
the CoUector.-Mr.Fassett occasionally got in
aordbutmost of his conversation wa in
panloiuims: Tjils-ocl(-iit& fu -ha!d:itjhs-head
dubiously at his young visitor and ad
justing his glasses and looking full at him.
The quietness of the Collector seemed to ex
asperate the visitor, and he left and did not
raise his hat as he shot out of the office and
down the steep stairway out into "William
street.
THE VISITOR IDENTIFIED.
The Collector's young visitor was Russell
Harrison. Almost everybody knew who he
was, and everyone, to a man, wanted to
know why he was angry and why he talked
so emphatically to the Collector. The
Collector shook his head as he said that Mr.
Harrison had called on him on a matter on
which he conld not speak. It was learned
that the President's son was angry because
Secretary Foster and Collector Fassett had
peremptorily refused to turn over to him the
United Statos cutter Grant foralnnketlng
tour down the bay.
On Friday young Mr. Harrison called on
the Collector and said that bis wife and sis
ter, Mrs- Harrison and Mrs. McKce, wonld
arrive on tbo Majestic to-morrow. Young
Mr. Harrison asked that the Grant be as
signed to him so that he, with the Presi
dent's wife and a few other friend', could
go down tho bay and transfer the young
ladies from the Majestic to the Grant. He
also requested that the baggago of young
Mrs. Harilson and Mrs. Molvce should also
be transferred at the same time. The Grant
is not directly under the control of the Col
lector of the Port. Her movements are di
rected by the Secretary of the Treasury.
A NEW USE FOP. THE GRANT.
She is a cruiser in the rovenue marine ser
vice, nnd her cruising ground extends from
Cape Cod to New York. It appears that the
young Mr. Harrison was told this, and
furthermore, was told that the Grant had
never been used for the purpose he now
suggested. The Grant is not a particularly
heavy boat, and it was thought she might
bo inlnred in running ud alongside the Ma
jestic. It was suggested to him that per
haps he should take either the Washington
or tho Chandler, tho two best customs tugs,
which aro immediately under the orders of
the Collector.
But even with this suggestion it appears
that young Mr. Harrison vtns told that it nag
against tho instructions of the Treasury De
partment to transfer women from incoming
steamers to a smaller craft. The expeii
ment even nith men is hazardous, as the
deck of tho smiller craft is so'mncli below
the saloon deck of the big ocean liners that
n long ladder is alwnjsusedin getting tho
men to tne smaller uuut. ah 11113 time mc
big steamer is in motion, and the little craft,
with a single hawser temporarily thrown
np, is running alongside.
TWICE THE RULE HAS I1EEK BROKEN.
So strict is tho Treasury Department
about the transferring of women that It has
taken only two frdm nn ocean steamship in
this fashion. The first was Mrs. Nellie Sar
toris, daughter of General Grant, and she
was taken off beeanso her father was dying
at Mt. McGregor. The second was Miss Kol
som, tno intended bride of President Clove
land, and she was taken off after dark when
tbo steamship Nordland was at anchor at
quarantine.
Young Mr. Harrison declined absolutely to
take either the Washington or the Chandler,
and stuck to it that tho Collector could" ar
range for the use of the Grant, nnd also order
the transfer of tho two Indies. The Col
lector, it wns learned, declined to assume
any responsibility but in order to please Mr.
Harris&n, who is one of his personal friends,
he submitted tho ease to Secretary Poster.
Secretary Foster wrote sustaining Collector
1'assett in his opposition to young Mr.
Hairison's request. It was this that made
Mr. Harrison so hot this afternoon. He had
called to see how the land Iny nnd it appears
the Collector toid him the verdict.
As the case stands now, If the passes for
the revenue cutter to meet the Majestic aro
not exhausted young Mr. Harrison can go
down In her and board the Majestic and
come up with his peoplo to the dock. But
neither the two ladies nor their baggago w ill
be transferred to the Grant or to any other
cutter down the bay.

"If tho minority will not do what the

edly, "it is high time for the majority to
hang the minority. If ballots won't do the

LxPresldent Hale, who asserts that his
life has been declared a forfeit in the under
ground meetings of these people, was and is
keenly alive to Its existence. Before the
meeting ut Pcrtlo Springs he sent ont a let

A MUNICIPAL MODEL
Superintefldent Gamble Weir Is Given if
Entire Control Over a
POLICE SYSTEM NEARLY PERFECT.
Chief Brown Formally Places Him at tie ;
, Bureau's Head.
HIS NEW DUTIES ABE DEFINED IN FULL
The Bureau of Police will have a head ,
hereafter. This morning Superintendent
(amble "Weir will tak"e up the reins, and
henceforth will have absolute control of all
the police In this city. The change which
is to lake effect to-dar was annonnced
some time ago in The Dispatch. TJp
to this time the inspectors of the
three districts have been responsible only
to the head of the Department or Public
Safety, They will be notified of this
change to-day. At the meeting of the
Board of Police Captains yesterday morn
ing Chief Brown officially notified them
that hereafter the relation ho had borne to
them wonld be Tested in Superintendent
"Weir, and to him through their inspectors
theymnstbe accountable.
"While-bespeaking for Mr. "Weir the same
loyalty and devotion to duty that he him
self had received, the chief reminded -the
board that while Mr. "Weir was responsible
for the men tinder him, after all, as Chief
of the Dapartment of Public Safety, Mr.
-Brown was the responsible head
r the whole forep 'nuder him,
tir the Councils and to the people.
In order to sustain him he said- the
employes of the department must exert
themselves in the future, as they had in the
past, to sustain the Police Superintendent.
Chief Brown was seen last evening, and in
nn interview outlined the, duties of the
Police Superintendent.
CHIEPBROWN'SOPINIOVOPTHECITT.
"There will be little change," said he, "in
the police work. Sir. Weir has had snfiicienS
experience in such matters to enablo him to
tako active charge at once without any drill
ing or Instruction frommo. AVhllo homiir
mnke some improvements in the detail wort
of tne Bureau, 1 am not willing to admit that;
he or any other man can mnke any very
great improvement in the police government
of this city- It Is the tightest city
in tho country to-day, and there is
less violation of the law In proportion to
the number of Inhabitants thin anywhere in
the land. In fact, I sometimes wonder if the
law Is not a little too strictly enforced. But ,
the peoplo generally seem satisfied with the '
present system, and until there is a public
demand for it, I don't think it would bo wise
to relax our vigilance in any partlcnlar.
"Mr. Weir will havo absolute control of the
Police Bureau and everything connected
with it. The only absolute power he cannot
exert is that of appointment or summary
discharge of employes underhim. ThecltV
charter vests that power only in the head 't
the department. It cannot be delegatel
Ilowever, I have promised Mr. Weir that
any appointment ho may desire, consistent
with the standing-rules and regulations, will
be made at hl request. Any mm
ho desires discharged will be dis
missed for tho good of the service.
I will do all In my power to assist Mr. Weir
in the discharge of his duties, and I 'think:
ho goes into tho active work witli a good op
portunity to make a record for the city, the
Police Department and himelf. I do not ex
pect to havo my own labor lessened very
materially by the change. While I have
ueera personalty superintending tno Police
Bureau ever since I came into this office and
wilt have some of the routine work taken
off my shoulders now, still I -null consult
with Mr. Wcirhcreaftcr instead of with the
three inspectors" and will supervise my
whole dep vrtment as carefully in the future
as I . li n havo ilonc."
Slivrci RULES ID tlVE IP JO.
In tho outline of tho police superintend
ent's furnished by Mr. Brown he referred to
the seven rules laid down in tho police
manual for the government of the
police superintendent. The first of these
provides that ho shall be subject
to tho order of the chief of the
Public Safety Department only, ana
he shall issue all orders to inspectors undr
him in writing.
Kule 2 places all property of the Police
Bnrcan tinder charge or tlit Superintendent,

seeing that the funds are econ
omically and wlely expended within the ap
propriations granted by Councils. Also to
watch carefully that the pay rolls are cor
rect In every partlcnlar, and to keep in his
ofllce a Journal and ledger which will at all
times show the exact condition of the ap- ,'
propnatlon. I
Rule 3 places the special patrolmen under f
the charge of the superintendent completely
and requires him to keep accurate record cf
them.
Knle 4 antbori7es him to exercise his dis
cretion as to referring lawsuits against his
subordinates as officers of the city to the .
city attorney.
