TOE JUNTA'S STAND It Still Claims the Eight to Arrest Eefugees at the American Legation. EGA2TS COURSE PROTESTED The Minister Charged With Misrep resenting Chilean Affairs, A SPECIAL ENVOY DISPATCHED To Tliis Country to Present a List of Grievances Against Him. HIS RECALL WILL ALSO BE DEMANDED rrnoM x FTArr coriu.sposdext.1 Washington-, Oct. C. The peculiar re lations existing between the United State and Chile continue to excite a great deal of discussion in diplomatic circles. The latest information is that though no arrets have been made of persons coming to or depart ing from the United States Legation the Junta's police still keep it under surveil lance, and the Junta has not abandoned the assumption of the right to make such ar rests. It is believed here, outside of the State Department at least, that Jliuister Egan mut be harboring (somebody who is pecu liarly objectionable to the authorities, as no other foreign legation has become involved in a controversy with them except the United States. The assertion of some of the State De partment officials that a foreign legation has the right to protect political offenders against the Government they have offended, and within the shadow of their capitol, is treated by the most experienced diplomats as perfectly absurd, and they usually sug gest that the United States Government would hardly have acquiesced if, at the close of the late war, President Davis, of the Confederacy, had sought and found asylum ith the British Minister at Wash ington. A BACKDOWN IS EXrECTED. It is well established, however, that all precedent is against the stand taken by the administration in the defense of Egan, and that a backdown will have to be made and Eeau asked to resign. It is the general ex presou here that this is the one sensible thing to do. as there can be no friendly in tercourse between the two countries so long as Egan is the representative at Santiago. This was plain to everybody but the Stat Department and the President from the first, and the opinion is frequently heard that the mere lVt that Egan was not at once withdraw n showed there was an in fluence at work with the administratis to create a feeling against the victorious party and poisiblv htir up a revolt asraiust them. This may be a violent view of the matter, but there can be no doubt that the conduct of this Government throughout the whole affair has been very remarkable, and that no sufficient explanation of its course has ever been vouchsafed the public MEAOKHNKSS Or ECAX'S KT.W3. The difficulty of getting definite news in regard to the Mtuation has aUo been peculiar. AVith the cable at his command and the heavy tolls paid by the United States, it would seem that Egan should have been able to give a detailed statement of all occurrences in which the United States is interested, but instead of this hie messages have been of the most meager and unsatisfactory character, and so misleading that the Junta ha, determined to send a representative to AVashingtor. to explain "matter:-and cxhibi; Minister Egau in his proper complexion. The reprcsentati .'e of the Junta now in Washington received information of this fact to-day. They say that the misrepre sentations are so flagran- that their Govern ment detnicd it wise to take this course to impress the truth on thi-. Government in a manner that would be impossible were they to depend on the transmission of official documents through the representatives here, who have been tor months lar away from the scene of action and whose relations have not at any time brought them into cordial onituuniration, with the President or the State Department. A CHILEAN ENVOY COMING. If it be true as telegraphed to-dav, that Senor Campos Pedro, a brother-in-law of Senor Jorge Montt, Ciiief of the Junta, has been dispatched to this country, loaded witii information, there will probably be a lull in the controversy until he is hard from, unless some act of Kgau's should provoke a new outbreak. Those who best know the temper of the Chileans, say it is astonish ing that no attack has been made on the American Legation by a mob, such as as sembles there at times as though by magic. If the Legation were stormed and Egan killed it would be a natural result ofthe""in tensc feeling anhiat him, and this country could do no more than demand indemnity. The representatives of the Junta here a's- Ert, however, tint the Junta are using the police, not to watch and annoy the Lega tion, but to protect Egan and othcrpropcrtv of the United States lrom possihle harm at the hands of a mob, preferring to let their own people believe that thev are 0:1 the lookout lor fugitives. It is pinhablc, there fore, that there will ni; l.c lurthcr trouble, and that information will soon be at hand which will put an end to the present anomal ous relations between the United States and Chile.

The Supreme Court of the United States will meet next Monday for the October term.

The firm imported goods on the 6th of l l-tobcr, 1 WK), and duty was lev isd on them under the McKinley act. The firm contended that the goods" were dutiable under the act of March 4, 1883, which it was insisted had never been repealed. The constitutionality of the Mclvinlcy tariff act is attacked, on the ground that it never passed the House and Henate, but that the bill which did pass the House and Senate, and which included the tobacco rate section, never was presented to the President, as re quired by the Constitution. The document signed by the President as the McICinlcv bill was not in fact, it is held, the bill as ft passed the House and .Senate. The case of Oharle Starnbach et al vs the United States also raises the question suggested in the previous ease, as well as other interesting points.

It TVai Perfectly Proper According to tho British Point of View. Washington, Oct. G. The statement contained in the dispatch from Ottawa that the British sealer Otto had been seized by the United States ship Mohican on account ot an irregularity in her papers, is pro nounced at the Navy Department to be without the slightest foundation. Reports have, been received at the Navy Department from Commander Cotton, commanding the Mohican, which shows that the Otto was seized August 31 for a violation of the modus vivendi; that Bhe was taken in Bering Sea, 20 miles northwest of Unimak Pjss, with a full sealing outfit and 48 seal skins on board. It further appears that five days before the seizure was made Commander Cotton had received an official letter from Com mander Turner, senior British naval officer at Ounalaska, stating that he considered the Otto a just and lawful capture for any vessel of war of either nation. No question arose in reference to her papers. The Otto was delivered two days after her capture to the commanding officer of Her Majesty's ship Pheasant at Ounalaska. A NEW COLLEGE CODE THAT KESTRICTS TOE C.T,I.S OF MALE ON FEaiALE STUDENTS. Wesleyan University ' Social Sensation Tounj Gentlemen Only Allowed One Visit a Vi'eek to a Young Lady Both Sexes Rebel Against the Edict. MlDDLETOWN, CONN., Oct. 6. Special Wesleyan University has a lively social sensation nnd a dozen young lady students ate freely expressing their minds regarding a new order from the college authorities. "Wesleyan has many charming young men among itsstudents,and the young ladies have found them agreeable companions in their hours of leisure. The voting gentlemen have been permitted to call upon them at their dormitorv, which, in the slang of the institution, is known as the "roost." Presi dent Itaymoud recently conceived the idea that the calls of the young gentleman should be systematized. The matter was talked over by the faculty, and it was con cluded that some plan should be adopted whereby the President might know ' which of the young gentlemen were frequenting the "roost." The outcome of the affair was that a general restriction has been placed upon rails. The new edict requires the filling out of a card, in this form: Middleton Conn. 1891. Signature of caller . Itesidence . Evening desired . Hour . Gentlemen are requested to bear in mind the following facts: The ladies do not re ceive later ihan 10 o'clock. The Indies desire caller-4 to conform to their cards. Sot trans le:able. Xaweotlady . The members of the faculty claim that the use of thce cards will operate advantage ously in several ways. The,y can ascertain whether certain students are calling too frequent".,', whether it is advisable, on ac count, of the personal character of any of them, to shut off the privilege. A young gentleman can hereafter obtain only one card a week, on which is designated the evening he may call. Each young lady may recciv! not exceeding three evenings in the week. The young gentlemen and Toting ladies are agreed in protcstingagainst President Raymond's new rule as an un-called-ior interference with their individual rights and privilege. CHINESE IN A QTJANDABY. In a Ferryboat ana Not Allowed to Land on Either ShO' e. Buffalo, Oci. C. To-day at noon the Deputy Marshal's men took four Chinamen to the ferry for deportation, acting under the instruction of Judge Cox, of the Federal Court, who had ruled that they were to be returned to Canada as the count rv whence they came. When the Jour Chinamen arrived at Fort Erie, on the opposite shore of the Niagara river, a di lemma presented itself. Two of the de ported Celestials had certificates of entrance to Canada and were accepted, but two had none and were refused permission to land. They remained on board the boat and were ferried back to Builalo. Here they were not allowed to alight because of the exclusion act, and so they remained on board the ferryboat, plying back and forth between the two countries, taking in the river scenery.but very much in doubt wheth er they would ever set foot on dry land again. The captain of the boat was almost as dis tressed as the Chinese. He feared he might have to engage them as deck hands, since he could not land thein anywhere as passengers. Finally the Canadian authorities agreed to their landing at Fort Erie, provided they paid the entrance fee. This the Celestials willingly agreed to do. Each produced the requisite amount, 550. FOOD EXHIBITION IN BOSTON. An Attempt to Brine Makers, Sellers, and Consumer Together. Roston, Oct. C. A great step in an art long neglected was taken this morning when the Food and Health Exposition was opened, under the superintend ence of the Boston Retail Grocers' Association. The event is the first of the kind held in New England, and will be watched with no small interest by all who wish to sec the advancement of the culinary art. All descriptions of food from the spices of India to the food products of the New World were exhibited. Health appli ances of till kinds form no small feature of the exhibit. The object cf the association is to unite the manufacturers of food products and tho wholesale and retail sellers so as to give the consumers a better insight into what ig being done for them. Lectures are to be given on cooking, both in theory and prac tice, regularly during the exhibition. The attendance this mqrning was rather meager, owing to the unpleasant weather. There were no formalities. All the ex hibitors are not yet quite ready, but it is expected that about Wednesday everything will be in order. SHOT HIS SCHOOL EIVAL IN A DUEL. John B. Wood Sentenced to Spend Bis Life in State Prison. Hiwasskf, GA.,Oct. 6. John B. Wood shot and killed Alexander S. Brown in a duel last May and was to-day convicted of murder. The jury recommended him to the mercy 01 the Court. Wood was sentenced to life imprisonment. Wood and Brown were fellow students and class rivals in thcHiwassee Institute, a Methodist school.

At the close of the exercise the young men with half a dozen witnesses went tb a clump of woods near the town and fought a duel according to the code. Brown fell dead at the first fire. Upon the indictment and trial of Wood thegreatest difficulty was experienced in se curing jurors. Thirteen grand jurors were disqualified because of their relationship to Wood or to Brown. Out of 117 men drawn as petit jurors only tho first requisite 12 were found not disqualified cither by relationship or by op position to eapital punishment. Tho State or the Actors' Fund.

This morning Mr. Smith's condition became critical, arid he died at 3 P. si. Eight Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, M. P. for East Manchester and Chief Secretary for Ireland, will succeed the late Mr. Smith as the Conservative leader in the Hpuse of Commons if the inflnence of the powerful Carlton Club and the opinion of the Con servative party as a whole rules in the de cision to be made by Lord Salisbury. On the other hand, if the negotiations now pending for a reconstruction of the Cabinet based on the absorption of the Liberal Unionists are effected, Eight Hon. George J. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, will claim the leadership. GOSCIIEN'S CLAIM TO THE PLACE. An intimate friend of Mr. Goschen in forms a correspondent that Lord Salisbury, during a critical period in the history of the coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal-Unionists, gave a written assurance that Mr. Goschen should have the leader ship of the Conservative party in the House of Commons in the event (then a possibil ity, owing to Mr. Smith's state of health, and me rumor mat ne was aDoui to De raised 10 the peerage) of the retirement of the First Lord of the Treasurer from that position. Mr. Gladstone lias wired the following message of condolence to the relatives of Mr. Smith: "I have received with grief the news of Mr. Smith's death. I shall long re tain a recollection of his kindly nature, fine qualities and distinguished devotion to the public service." Mr. Smith, who was one of the representa tive business men of England, is popularly reputed to have left a fortune of about 10, 000,000. He was born in this city June 34, 182.5.

THE DEMISE OF A CEOVVN. A cable dispatch from Stuttgart says tha"; the King of Wurtemburg died at 7 o'clock this morning. He had been ill for some time past, and yesterday his condition be came so critical that the last rites of the church were administered to him. During the night his condition became worse, and he sank gradually'until the end came. Karl I, King of Wurtemburg, was born March 6, 1823, and ascended the throne at the death of his father. King Wilhelm I, on June 23, 1864. On July 13, 1846, he mar jied the Grand Duchess" Olga Nicolajewna, daughter of the late Emperor Nicholas of Russia. Prior to the year 1804 Wurtemburg was a grand duchy, but by the peace of Pres burg it was erected into a kingdom. The civil list ot the ruler of the kingdom amounts to 1,769,000 marks, with additional grants ot L'yjJWJ marts lor other members of the roval family. The new king, William LT, nephew ofthe dead monarch, presided at a Cabinet Coun cil held here to-day. The Landstade, or "Estate" of the realm, will shortly be called together to . take action on certain matters. In all of the streets of this city the people have draped their houses with mourning emblems as a mark of sorrow for the death ofthe King. - THE AMERICAN PAVOKITE. According to the St. James Gazette, there has been danger recently that the Ameri cans who gained such influence at the court of Wurtenburg some time ago would resume their swajj in which case it is understood the late King would have been forced to abdicate had not Queen Olga undertaken to prevent a recurrence of the scandals. The King since that time has been practically a prisoner in his apartments, as it was feared he would escape from Stuttgart and go to Paris, which the same paper concludes would probably have resulted in a scandal or a catastrophe.

ITALY'S POOR FINANCES. THE EXCESS OF IMPORTS OVER EX FORTS IS GROWING. Conflicting Reports From tho Commercial Treaty Negotiations The Silver Ques tion a Burning Issue In the Kingdom Causes Driving the Coin From the Coun try. Rome, Oct. 6. The foreign commerce of Italy for the eight months ending August 31 shows that the imports exceeded the ex ports by 102,000,000 lire (538,400,000), while for the same period of 1800 they were 330,000,000 lire (?G6,000,000) in excess. During the same period the customs re ceipts declined 23,000,000 lire, due in large part to the decreased imports of cereals, which were 230,000 tons less than in 1890. The reports concerning the progress of the commercial treaties at Munich continue to be conflicting. The official press express the conviction that they will have a favor able conclusion, while the opposition insists that the differences between the Italian and other representatives arc almost irrecon cilable. The press of Italy is much concerned over the recent decrees "relating to the transpor tation of silver coin and to the acceptance of the coupons due January 1 as cash for all payments to the Government. The tariff for the transportation of silver coin amounts to about 1 per cent for every 78 miles by land, which is virtual prohibition, not only to export, but even to the transportation between the various centers of Italy. The monetary convention of 1885 author ized each member of the Latin Union to coin fractional silver coin to the amount of 9 lire or fraucs for each inhabitant. Italy has coined the full amount allowed, so she cannot obtain relief from the scarcity of silver change by buving bullion and coining it. Although her silver coins have no legai circulation in other States, yet in con sequence of article G of the conven tion, which provides that the Government offices of each State shall accept the frac tional silver coins of each of other States up to the sum of 100 lire, the Italian coins are accepted in the other countries without question. There is thus every inducement to export them, as they can be sold at sub stantially ine same premium asgoiu, wuicu is from i to 2 par cent. It is argued that the only possible way to, prevent the export of silver is to make the paper currency equal in value to coin and to Keep it so. The decree providing that coupons due January 1 shall he accepted by the Government as cash' will virtually in crease the paper circulation for the time being, but will probably accomplish the object intended, by the redemption of the coupons at home at the value of paper instead of in Paris, London or Berlin, where gold must be provided for that pur pose at least a month in advance. TUBEISH BRIGANDS' LATEST JOB. They Attempt, but Unsuccessfully, to Wreck a Passenger Train. Constantinople, Oct. 5. A band of brigands yesterday made a desperate at tempt to wreck and rob a passenger train. The train was passing along a desolate portion of the Haidar-Pachaiamidt Railroad when the engineer discovered that some thing was wrong along the rails ahead. The train was brought to a standstill as soon as possible, and an examination ofthe, line showed that the brigands had torn up the rails and so damaged the road bed that had the train not been stopped in time a disaster would have surely happened. The brigands retreated as soon as they saw that their plan had miscarried, instead of attack ing the train. This is only one of a series of similar outrages upon the part of Turkish brigands, and in which foreigners have usually suffered .at the expense ofthe Porte, the latter having to indemnify the Govern ments to which the foreigners owed allegi ance for ransoms, etc., collected by the brigands.

A Successful End to a Long Fight by Two Telegraph Companies. BOSTON, Oct. 6. After many conferences and concessions, W. W. Gooch, counsel for the Postal Telegraph Cable Company and the New England Printing Telegraph Com pany, has succeeded in so adjusting the differences between the telegraph and electric companies that the two cor porations which he represents will get a foothold in Boston. The story of the New England Printing Telegraph Company's previous attempt to obtain rights is pretty well known to the public, resulting in a veto by Mayor Matthews of the order passed by the Board of Aldermen and his subsequent attack on Police Commissioner Osborne on the ground that Mr. Osborne was a stockholder in the companv. Mr. Gooch at that time was not counsel for the company, and his connection with it is of recent date. He was also retained by the Postal Telegraph Cable Company, which desired similar rights, and the cause of both companies has been a common one. In bringing about a satisfactory solution of what appeared to be a very difficult mat ter to settle, Mr. Gooch has induced the Committee on Electric Wires to have the various companies unite in the use of poles instead of having each company, as for merly, maintain separate lines. Texas Lumber Men's Grievances. Orange. Tex., Oct. 6. At a meeting of the mill men of Southeastern Texas and Southwestern Louisiana, held here to-day, resolutions were adopted that the depressed condition of the money market in the past year had curtailed the consumption of lumber by railroads and improvement companies; that the freight rates and railroad commission kept matters unsettled; that the commission rates have shut this section out from a large part of trade, and that the present ruling prices are below the cost of production. It was resolved that the mills in this section reduce the output one-half until the present policy is chanced. HIS WIFE'S IMJLTER Shot Down by Ashley Howell for Which He Will Be Tried To-Day. A SENSATIONAL GE0EGIA MURDEB. Some Damaging Letters to Be Prodnced Igainst Howell's Wife, WHICH EEALLT CAUSED THE TKAGED-I SPECIAL TELEOnAM TO TnE DISPATCH. Warrenton, Ga., Oct. 6. To-morrow the trial of Ashley V. Howell, charged with the murder of Captain W. J. McGrath, will begin. The story is one of sensational plot and development. On the 2d of last April Howell married Miss Julia Do Beaugrine. Miss Julia was one of several sisters, and is a dashing brunette ef handsome figure and attractive features. Before her marriage to Howell she was regarded as somewhat "fly," but the young couple moved immediately to Atlanta after their union. Captain McGrath came from Charleston, S. C, about four years ago. He was about 40 years old and had a beautiful wife and three little children, who came with him to Warrenton. Bad blood arose between young Howell and McGrath, a few months before the former's marriage, which became known to several parties in Warrenton. When Howell and his young bridge lett for At lanta, however, the matter was forgotten, until one morning in early June Howell suddenly appeared at Warrenton. He re mained about the town four days; when it began to be whispered that trouble was brewing. OPENING OF TnE TRAGEDY. As a sequel to this Captain McGrath was seen to leave his store on the morning of the 11th oi June last and walk toward the Court House with some mail matter in his hand. Howell was seated in the window of his brother-in-law's store. A moment after McGrath't form had disappeared in the doorway, Howell arose and walked toward the Court House. Howell entered the room and approached McGrath. When within a few feet of the latter, Howell exclaimed: "Captain Mc Grath, you have been writing letters to my wife." 'With this excited declaration he whipped out a pistol and fired five shots in rapid succession. Every shot took effect in McGrath's body and head except one. The wounded man sankto the floor with a groan. McGrath was removed to the hallway of the Court House, where, after sneaking a few words, he breathed his last. The wife of the unfortunate man was in a millinery store not 50 paces away and heard every shot. Howell was met by Captain Shnoley, the Town Marshal, who put him under arrest. CAUSE OF THE MURDER. The letter which Howell claims that Mc Grath wrote to his wife and which fell into his hands, thereby bringing about the tragedy, is said to be very repulsive and in decent! Mrs. Howell told ner husband at the time that McGrath had persecuted her for a long time with letters of a similar character, and denied bitterly that her con duct had been such as toAvarrant advances from McGrath. The defense will offer this letter and others of a similar character as evidence of justification on Howell's part, and the defense will offer witnesses whose testimony will develop the fact that Mc Grath sent parties to Atlanta to secure the address of Mrs. Howell, in order to get in communication with her. On the other hand, the State will intro duce about 20 letters from Mrs. Howell to McGrath, one of which, it is claimed, in vited the answer which fell into Howell's hands and precipitated the shooting. The contents of some of these letters abound in vulgarity of the most hideous type. A MYSTERIOUS "WOMAN Haunts the Grave of a Bead Millionaire Claiming to Be His Widow. Augusta, Me., Oct. 6. Spccica. Peo ple acquainted with the late millionaire publisher, E. C. Allen, are greatly inter ested in a report that he who was always considered a single man was married to a German woman in Paris. E. C. Allen was buried in Augusta Sunday, August 9, 1891, and two watchers were stationed at his grave that night and were very much startled by the appearance of a woman at midnight, who knelt by the side of the grave and seemed in great sorrow. The next night the woman is said to have ap peared again and the guards accosted her. In attempting to get her away her face, whioh is said to be beautiful, was disclosed and was seen to be sad as if from some great sorrow. The report states that she had an inter view with Mr. Allen's sisters and had made claims to the property as the legal wife of Mr. Allen. Uscar Hoiway, one ot the ad ministrators of the wealthy estate, says he has had no claim presented to him nor inti mation of a claim. Miss Allen is out of town. It is not believed here that the great publisher was married, but that this woman is an adventuress trying to extort money. KILLED BY AN ELEVATOR. A Prominent Cincinnati Clergyman Meets an Untimely Death. Cincinnati, Oct. 6. At 6 o'clock this evening, Rev. Samuel Benedict, for many years the rector of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church of this city, was killed in an elevator. He was visiting a parish ioner in the San Rafael flats, a splended building on West Fourth street. He had descended in the elevator from the third floor to the second floor, and was stepping out, when, by an unaccountable freak, the elevator shot upward. He had stepped out with his left foot, and he tried to get back. The elevator caught his right leg near the hip between the car and the oaken girder ofthe next floor. The bones were absolutely crushed into small pieces. After much trouble he was extri cated, having been suspended next to the ceiling, in terrible agony, for several min utes. Death relieved him before he reached the hospital. His dead body was taken to the home of his family. The whole parish is in deep mourning to-night. He was 61 years old.

WOODS, Manager, OC3-46-WTS IN THIS HARD AND CRUEL AGE Of money-getting sensible men and women fully comprehend the full mean ing and value of Uncle Sam'-s dollars, and in order that the true spirit of progression may be exemplified, in at least one Furniture House belonging to this city, we present for your earnest and thoughtful consideration a Sew facts, embracing everything to the thoughtful buyer, who prefers a full equiv alent in value to empty sentiment and false sophistry of competing houses, who hope to catch a portion of your patronage through some sale they effected to one of your ancestors long since deceased. THE GREAT MEASURES OF VALUE We give is the keynote to the great success of our house, as well as the last dying wail of that principle of overcharge and extortion, which for years sealed your eyes and emptied your purses under a maxim figuratively sus pended over the entrance of every old furniture shop, and which means to you an extra dollar for sentiment for every dollar you expend, and a half dollar in value for every dollar's worth you buy. ICsTcrw- Qcrme and See TTs We'll convince you that ours is THE store of the city. HOPPER BROS. & CO., 307 WOOD ST., PITTSBURG, PA. NEW.ADVEBTISEMENTS.
