The communi cation received to-day at the State Depart ment from Minister Egan, in regard to the feeling of the temporary Government of Chile touching the saloon and street not in which seamen of the Baltimore suffered, is all the gossip to-night, and as usual the un thinking are ready to predict war. It may be said at the .outset that the State Department does not place implicit faith in the coloring given by Egan to the opinion ascribed to the officials of the Junta. It is on its face an Eganism, intended, as nearly all of his acts have been, to encour age misunderstanding between this country and Chile. State Officials Afraid of Egan. "While the officials of the State Derail ment refuse to talk for 'publication, they prhateiy admit that Egan's use of the En glish language is usually faulty and that he probably does not fully understand the im port of his words when he says that the Minister of the Junta asserts that this Gov ernment has formulated demands and ad vanced threats. Xo intelligent or sane man could say that any demands have been formulated or threats advanced by this Government, and that is the reason why Egan's statement of the matter is doubted. At any rate, this iew of the affair does not come in direct of ficial language from the Chilean Govern ment, and it is argued by some that no no tice should be taken of it until official in vestigation is ended and a formal statement made of the conclusions of the Chilean Gov ernment. TUc Minister Breeding Trouble The important feature of the whole mat ter, as it seems to be diagnosed by the official circle in this capital, is that it is tieinonstratcd more plainly than ever that Egan's mission is to breed trouble and mis understanding between the United States and Chile, and that he should be recalled at once, even though to accomplish that end it be necessary to pretend to a cessation of diplomatic intercourse. The correspondent of The Dispatch is able to mv, from tile bfst of information, that the President and Secretary Blaine iook-nith grave doubts upon the continu ance of Egan in 'his present position, but that the President, grown abnormally timid in the presence of important State elections, hesitates and refuses to take any step that might be made use of by the opposition with some cllect ou the eve of those elec tions. Why Two Officials Are Retained. The entire official circle here view with wonder the continuance in office of two per sons especially, and they are Minister Egan and Commissioner of Pensions Itaum, and it cannot be explained why they are retained except upon the theory of timidity caused by the near approach of the elections. The officials of the Junta now in this city point to the cable dispatch from Egan as an illustration of all they have been asserting in regard to his course, and they predict at if he ifc not speedily silenced he will ir. live the two countries in a difficulty that may not be adjusted in long years. They say, as they have said all along, that tWeraof good feeling cannot be initiated x hile Egan remains the representative of thi country in Chile, and their great fear is that some act of his will so enrage the ex citable populace that they will attack the United States legation and thus precipitate an international imbroglio that will be ex- trc n iy difficult to adjust. , The Chilean Envoy's Protest. Don Pedro Montt, really the Chilean Minister here, feels assured that the Gov ernment of the United States will take no official notice of the construction put by Minister Egan on the informal and possibly ierv much distorted reply of the Chilean Government to the note of this Government in regard to the affair of the Baltimore, and yet believes that, in spite of the conspiracy of-rtain Americans, Egan included, to mate trouble in the interests of the faction opposed to the Junta, the difficulty will be settled without even a breac in diplomatic relations. OTJB PACIFIC NAVAL STRENGTH. Extra Activity Noticeable In theJNavy Tard at Vallejo, Cal. Vallejo, Cal., Oct 29. There seems EI H WAS to be considerable extra activity about ves sels at the 2Tavy Yard. Naval officers aro forbidden to give information regarding the movements of vessels. A telegram came to-day asking for an estimate of the cost of preparing the Mohician for sea duty within two weeks. It is , expected that a large force of men will bo immedi ately set to work uponher. The monitor Conimanche, though designed for harbor de fense, can put to sea in a few days. The Monadanock will not be in condition for six months yet. Few vessels here are avail able. All are up 2"orth, at Honolulu or in Chinese waters. EGAN'S CIPHER DISPATCH. 11K GIVES THE ANSWER OF CHILEAN GOVERNMENT. THE The Junta Refuses to Accede to "What Aro Styled the Demands and Threats of the United States Waiting for the Regular Judicial Decision. "WASHlNGTOX.Oct. 29. Asioeiated Prcst. It was nearly noon before Egan's cable pram was translated and laid before the President. An hour afterward messengers were dispatched to Secretary Blaine and Secretary Tracy requesting their presence at the White House. The Secretaries promptly responded to the President's sum mons, Secretary Blaine coming over from his house and Secretary Tracy from the 2avy Department Up to this time it had been understood that .Minister Egan's cablegram was to be ,'made public at an early hour, but as the consultation ran along it was apparent that some cause for delay had arisen. Secretary Tracy, after an hour at the 'White House, returned to the .Navy Department, but had not bees there long before he was recalled. Wild Speculation Rampant.'" ""'" Naturally these movements gave rise to all kinds of more or less wild speculation as to the nature of Mr. Egan's dispatch and the intention of the Government "When Sec retary Tracy again emerged from the "White House he refused to make any statement whatever respecting the Chilean correspond ence, on the ground that the Department of State had the matter in charge. Secretary Blaine appeared to be in good spirits when he came out of the White House and stepped into his carriage to go home. He had noth ing to say about Mr. Egan's message, but intimated that when the proper time had elapsed the public would be informed of the facts.. Soon after 6 o'clock to-night an offi cial statement of the contents of Minister Egan's dispatch was made public. It read as follows: The Department of State received this morning a telegram from Minister Egan. dated Santiago, October 23, in which he gives the following as the reply or the Chil ean Government to the President's tele gram of October S3, asking reparation for the recent murder of American sailors In the streets of Valparaiso: "The minister ot Foreign Affairs replies tbxi the Govern ment of the United States Formulates Demands and Advances Threats that, without being cast back with acrimony, are not acceptable, nor could they be ac cepted in the present case, or in any other of like nature. He does not doubt theslncerlty' rectitude or expertness of Investigation on board the Baltimore, but will recognize only the Jurisdiction and authority of his own country to Jndge and punish the guilty in Chilean territory. He says the administrative and judicialauthori- ttes have beeri Investigating the affair: also, that a Judicial investigation under the Chilean law is secret, and the time is not yet arrived to make known the result; when that time does arrive, he will communicate the result, although he does not recognize any other authority competent to judge criminal cases than that established by the Chilean people. Until the time arrives to disclose the result of investigation he can not admit that the disorders in Valparaiso or tbe silence of his department should ap pear as an expression of unfriendliness toward the Government of the United States which might put in peril the friendly re lations between the two countries. Up to the hour when the above state ment was made public, no reply had been made to it. "What will be the nature of Secretary Blaine's reply is altogether a matter of conjecture. The most plausible theory advanced is that the suggestions couiteously and diplomatically conveyed in Acting Secretary "Wharton's dispatch, that this Government had no doubt in ve tigation would be made and reparation afforded, will now be renewed in the shape of a stern and formal demand for some im mediate assurance of proper action on the part of the Junta, and if this is not forth coming, Minister Egan will take passage on the Baltimore lor the United States, thus severing diplomatic relations between the United States and Chile. THE NAVY IN GOOD SHAPE. NO ORDERS ISSUED TO PREPARE FLEET FOR SAILING. "Work on the New Cruisers Advancing Rapidly The Big Monitor Approaching Completion Coaling at Sea a Drawback in Case of War. NEW York, Oct. 29. Special No orders have been received at the navy yard in Brooklyn to indicate that the Gov ernment is prepared to send a fleet to Chile. Work on the several cruisers at the yard is advaaciug more rapidly perhaps than is usual, but possibly it is because in the ordi nary course of events there is more work than usual to be done. The Philadelphia, the Bennington, the Concord, the Chicago, the Miautonomoh and the Petrel are "undergoing repairs. The latter was ordered yesterday to sail for China by way of the Suez Canal The At lanta is being restored to good condition after the rough treatment she received off Asseatcague Island, shortly after the loss of the Despatch. She is under orders to be ready t o sail in 20 days. The Petrel will be in condition to put to sea on Saturday. All the other cruisers could be made ready for service in two weeks, at longest- The monitor Miantonomoh, the only bat tle ship of the navy, is rapidly assuming the appearance of a fully-equipped fighter. As soon as she is painted and polished she will be a formidable thing to look upon. If necessary the Miantonomoh could reach the scene of the trouble in about 50 days, but she would not be Bent unless war was de clared. Two Boats on the Way to Chile. The Boston and the Yorktown are now on their way to Chile. The latter arrived at Bahia yesterday. Both will stop for coal at Bahia, Santa Lucia and Sandy Point At these places orders could be cabled for the cruisers to hasten to their destination, or to cut off the two new Chilean vessels now on their way from Toulon to Valparaiso. The Newark is preparing for sea at the Charles ton navy yard, and will be ready in about eight days. The crews of such vessels as could soon be in Chilean waters would number altogether nearly 4,000 men. Marines could be brought together at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, or any other convenient spot, from Boston, Philadelphia, Washington and Norfolk. There are 200 already here. The whole PITTSBURG, PEJDAY, OCTOBER 30, 891 force could be ready to start, if ordered, in two days. If it were desired that a land force should co-operate with'the navv, troops could be carried by a Pacific Mail steamer or any other steamer taken as n transport, and could reach Colon in eight days. In another day the forte could cross the Isthmus of Panama, and then go by .another transport to Valparaiso in about 10 days more. In short, the United 8tates could in a brief time assemble a land and a sea force against Chile Hard to Keep a Supply of Coat The most serious disadvantage to which our ships would be subjected in case of war with Chile wculd be the impossibility of purchasing coaL If the United States should declare war all coal would have to be carried to our ships from this country or seized from the enemy. No. neutral nation might sell coal to our vessels, as it is one of the most important of the contrabands of war. A. fleet of colliers sent to South America, moreover, for the use of our cruisers would have to be conveyed bv sev eral men-of-war to protect it from the at tack of such a ship as the Esmeralda, which could make short work of sinking a fleet of defenseless coal carriers. The city of "Valparaiso, where the United States sailors were attacked, is one of the strongest cities of South America in natural and artificial coast defenses. The harbor is semi-circular, the open side facing the north. High bluffs surround the bay on all sides, and on these bluffs are several strong-forts. DETAILS OF A MASSACRE. AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE HORRORS OF CHILEAN WAR. ''TJJ? -Z I The Horrible Butchery Indulged in by Balmaceda' Soldiers AnJeirber2t Slaughter of .Defenseless Offenders , AcmeTorinred to Death. New Yoke, Oct 29. In a letter re ceived yesterday from. Chile full details are given of the massacre at Los Canas, near Santiago, in August last, of a number of young men belonging to some of the leading families of that city. A summary of the tragedy was cabled immediately after its occurrence and was among the Important exclusiv accounts of the sensational events in Chile which have appeared in these columns. A few days before August 18 about ISO yonng Chileans, residing at Santiago, agreed to form themselves into a body to assist the Congressional army as soon as it should ar rive in front of Valparaiso. On August 17 nearly all of their number met on the Los Canas estate, situated some 10 or 12 miles from Santiago and belonging to Senor Don Carlos Walker Martinez. ' A Traitor .Reveals Their Plot Their object was to fail upon the capital and stir up the peopVs to take it in case the Dictator withdrew his troops to act against the Congressional army. Unfortunately for these youthj then was among them a wretched traitor who betrayed them to Bal maceda. In possession of the information supplied by the wretch in question, the Dic tator took steps to wreak vengeance on the young men who had assembled on this es tate and who considered themselves to be so secure that even the most ordinary precau tions of safety were considered unnecessary. At 2 p. si. on August 18 a lorce consisting of 75 cavalry and 75 infantry, the latter being mounted behind the former, left Santiago quietly for Los Canaa. At daybreak the houses and buildings on the estate were surrounded, and the band of youths were rudely awakened by the dis charge of rifles and carbines. The truth im mediately flashed ou them that they had been betrayed and that theV were sur rounded by a band ot relentless soldiery. There was "nothing to do but to endeavor to escape by running -a gauntlet of fire from all sides. Details of the Massacre. The first, to leave was Don Arturo TTn- l duraja Vecuna, accompanied by 12 or more cuiiipuuiuus, auu. uxeir uvea were saved through the instrumentality of a roll of notes offered to and accepted by the soldiers against whom they had the good fortune to run. Others' of their companions were, less fortunate. As they rushed out of the buildings they, too, found themselves con fronted by the soldiery, and a voice rang clear out above the din to give them no quarter. The order was given by an aide ot General Barbosa, named Alejo San Mar tin. At the first discharge six or eight fell; the remainder attempted to cut their way out Fifteen or more were then shot dead and 10 or 12 were made prisoners. The wounded were bayonetted and sabred to death and their bodies mutilated and burned. A few hours later the prisoners were marched off in the direction of Santiago, but when about half way to the capital orders were received from Balmaceda and Barbosa to take them back to Los Canas. This was done, and on the way there were sujected not only to all kinds of idignities, but to brutalities. Some Were Tortured to Death. On reaching the estate the manager, Don Wenceslao Aranguiz Eontecilla, was sub jected to unspeakable horrors. He was bound to a tree, beaten and cut with sabers and swords to compel him to disclose the hiding place of Don Carlos Walker Mar tinet As he asserted he was unaware of the hiding place of his employer, first one leg was broken, then the other. Paraffin o was then thrown over him and then set fire to, but the quantity was limited to prqlong his agony, which lasted nearly an hour. In the midst of his sufferings 'he appealed to his tormentors to put him out bf his agony, but they only reviled him. The bodies of the remainder of the victims weresubjectdd to unheardof atrocities. Some were cut in two in the middle and suspended by cords from trees. The bodies were then collected in heaps and burned. They had been stripped of everything of any value. The following ore the names of some of the victims: Ignazio Euenzalida Castro, Manuel Campino, Isaias Carracho, Luis Zorillia, Ramon Luis Ivarrazaral, Ignacio Valen zuela, Ismail Zamudio Flores and Wen ceslao Aranguiz. The following officers are supposed to have taken part in this infain oijp crime: Colonel Ramon Vidaurre and Lieutenant Colonels Emilio Aris, Edu&rdo Infante and Julio Sepulsida.

Among the guests of the Victoria Hotel is a tall, distinguished looking man, with iron gray -hair and mus tache, a broad, high forehead, and of most courteous manner. .He is Senor DonClaudio Vicuna, who, three months ago, was the President elect of Chile, the ohoice of Bal maceda as his successor. Now he is an exile, his home has been destroyed by fire and his property has been confiscated by the victori ous Junta. " . Vicuna was seen by a reporter, bu$ said that if he did talk his words might be mis construed or twisted so as to affect not only his own family, but the other refugees not yet delivered up by the Junta. On these grounds he declined to discuss Balmaceda's administration or his suicide or Minister Egan's conduct It is his intention to re main in New'York for a few days longer and then sail for EuropeT , "What his future movements will be he does not now know. They will depend upon the turn of affairs in Chile. He hopes, however, that as soon as matters are settled he. will be permitted to return to his native land unmolested..

The iW, after re marking that the naval inferiority of the United States will make it difficult for her to coerce Chile, expresses the hope that both parties will modify their attitude be fore proceeding to hostilities. The Foii then enters into an elaborate argument quoting from authorities on international law and giv ingpracticalinstancesto prove the invalidity of Minister Egan's views on the exterritor iality of the United States Legation, and concludes: "The whole question is so im portant that the action of the United States will be awaited with interest everywhere, and, not without anxiety at the prospect ot a confusing revolution of international cus toms." The Telegraph says: "President Harrison was perfectly justified in acting as he did. Doubtless Minister Egan's appointment has turned out to be the worst that couW have been made. His action was a notori ous violation of the obligations of neutral ity. But there' is no reason in the world why the Chileans should adopt a defiant attitude. If they refused to make an in vestigation and to punish the guilty per sons, they were acting under the impulse of insensate pride. It will be necessary for the United States doubtless sorely against her will to give them a salutary lesson." The OhronicU thinks the affair" is hardly a matter for war or even a mobiluinc of the ,United States navy. It says that -Chile wjli, doubtless hnd it more prudent to apologize, punish the assailants of the" American sailors and pay a compensation rather than to risk her ironclads in an encounter with the United "States.

Osborne, .Minister to Chile un der President Hayes, is very guarded in his remarks concerning the diplomatic relations between this Government nd the Chileans. 'Ton may say," said he to a reporter, "that I regard the strained relations aa very un fortunate at this time. The Chileans are a very sensitive people and tieasure malice.

SpecUL Jack J Parker, a negro section foreman on the East Louisiana JBLailroad, was. taken from the parish jail in Covington late last night and hanged to 'a tree in the jail yard, the lynching being done by ne groes. Parker was in jail for the murder of another colored man, Joe Hardy, who worked on the railroad under him, and had confessed to the crime. He and Hardy had had a quarrel, he Suspected the latter of trying tojjet his place, and when they met on the railroad trestle, October 8, Parker knocked Hardy over the head with a club, knocking him off the trestle and killing him. In order to destroy all evidence of the crime he tried to cremate the )body,covering it with brushwood and pine and set fire to the funeral pile. A few drops of blood, however, betrayed him. Most of Hardy's body had been reduced to ashes, but there was enough left for his wife to identify the remains. "Parker was arrested and locked up in the parish jail, at first protesting his innocence, but afterward confessing. xne crime ne naa committed wrought tip the popular feeling against him. andlvnch- ing was freely discussed. The Bleriff thought the situation sufficiently threaten ing to take unusual precautions, and a guard of four armed men were stationed at the jail to protect it in case an attack should be made. The talk of lynching died away, but the guards were kept on duty, and were at 'the jail last night, when a mob of armed men came upon them so suddenly that resistance was impossible. The guards were overpowered ana captured, and forced to surrender the keys. The mob entered the jail, broke into the cell where Parker was confined, dragged him to'an oak, and lynched him. It was composed of negroes, and this being the first successful lynching carried out by negroes in Louisani Ihey acted so quietly that'peo ple'inthe immediate vicinity of the jail were not awakened. GOING TO COLLEGE ON HIS HDSCLE. A Good Football Flayer to Get His Educa tion for Nothing. Buffalo, Oct. 2ft. Special. Six months ago Robert Acton came to Buffalo. He had graduated from a school in Cork, Ireland. He applied for a place as clerk in several of the leading drygoods stores here, but met with no success. He was at last obliged to engage as a common dock laborer; Here he has worked for the past five months at $1 a day, stopping at a low sailors' boarding house. Acton is a .bright fellow, and his great strength won for him the title of Hercules. To-night he left Buffalo! for Yale College. The circumstances of his going are interest ing. Acton was a member,, of a football team in England, and has won several medals for good work in the field. The students at Yale heard, that Acton was in Buffalo, and proposed that he attend col lege at their expense and play in their foot "ball team. He accepted the terms, and a draft for f300 was sent to him yesterday. Mexico Preparing for the Fair. Sax Antonio, Tex., Oct 29. Hon.

Senator Hall Protests Talnly igainBt the Sodden Shift JDDGE ORYIS TALES FOR TIIBEE HOURS ITltOK A STA7T COBBESPONDIVT.1 Harbisbukg, Oct 29. The Republican Senators could handily give the heathen Chinee points on tricks and mysterious movements. The Boyer case was summarily and unceremoniously dropped to-day, and the case of the Philadelphia magistrates, in which no evidence has been taken, was argued, and the arrangement to delay a ver dict and at the same time keep the Attorney General from reviewing the evidence brought out in the Boyer case was perfect ed. Of course there was no authority for taking up the case of the magistrates. No witnesses . were called against them or in their behalf, but their attorney was required to defend them, just to kill time. The question of jurisdiction was the argu ment in the Magistrates' cases. The Senate refused to consider the question of juris diction two weeks ago, but then its consid eration diJ"B0t serve their purpose. After Judge Orvis had reviewed at great length the Constitution features of the Boyer case, and had argued--,that the Senate was without authority in theiBxfiUgation, and it was argued that Attorney ShieM' should proceed with the argument of the Magis trates' cases, Senator Hall rose and oflerft an objection. .nail's Protest Against the Argument. He said the cases had not yet been tried, and protested against the argument. He contended that the arrangement had been made by the Bepublicans to keep Attorney General Hengel from addressing the Senate before the 'election, and demanded in all fairness that Mr. Boyers case be finished before the other cases be taken up. The Senator called attention to tho in consistency of the Bepublicans, and showed that they had changed front six different times since the investigation began. He believed, he said, that the people could not be hoodwinked by such cheap political trickery, and while he was confident that there was -no intention of addressing the Governor in the case of either Boyer or McCamant, he was also firm in the belief that the public, or that portion, of the people who have noted the evidence brought out, were firmly convinced that both Boyer and "McCamant are guilty of the charges made against fiiem by .the Governor. He referred to the refusal of the Bepublicans to consider the question of jurisdiction two weeks ago, and charged that the whole" matter was a political farce comedy, in which the leaders on the Republican side were the star actors. Jnd;e Orvis Speaks for Three Hours. . Notwithstanding Senator Hall's protest the Bover case was dropped for the dav and the question of jurisdiction in the mag istrates cases was argued. The same line of argument as was used by Mr. Shapley yesterday was followed by Attorney Shields. Judge Orvis talked for nearly three hours. He protested against the authority of the Senate, and stated that the Governor's action in calling together the Senate iias undemocratic, and was in viola tion of the principles of the Democratic party. Referring to the question of juris diction, Judge Orvis said: The question raisod by the answers of Ilenry K. Boyer. State Treasurer, ana Thomas McCamant, Auditor General, raises an issue as to the jurisdiction of this body to inquiro into anu aoiermine tno matter or their guilt pr innocence of various charges and accusations which have been mnde against them, of misbehavior or misde meanor in their respective offices. To my mind this question is the most serious and important one that has ever come before any tribunal in America since the Supreme Court of the United States decided, in ex parte Hilligan, that a citizen could not be lawfully tried for alleged crimes by a mili tary commission. The Qnestion as the Jndge Sees It. The question, stated somewhat dilferently from the statement of it in the answers of these officers, is this: Can a citizen of this Commonwealth, who has been dnly and le gally elected to an office oreated by the Con stitution, who has been duly commissioned according to the Constltntion, who has en tered upon the discharge of the duties of his office, be removed from that office as a punishment for alleged misbehavior or mis demeanor in office, without first being im peached or indicted, tried and convicted of such alleged misbehavior In office 1 The very -statement or the proposition would suggest an emphatic negative, it seems to me, in tbe mind of every intelligent person who has an understanding of the principles of right and justice as applied to the admin istration of criminal law; that it is contrary to every principle of right and justice that a man can be punished lawfully for an al leged crime before he has been tried and convicted of that crime. The charges that have been made not formally, by artioles of impeachment pre sented by the House of Representatives; not by an Indictment found by a grand Jury in a criminal court, but imade In an informal manner, in the message sent by His Excel lency, the Governor, to this body, on the 13th oi uctooer aro in every instance, as I un derstand them, charges of misdemeanors or misbehavior in office, eacbT and every one of which would constitute an impeachable offense and also an indictable offense; and if theso officeis or either of them are guilty of any of the accusations thus made against them they aie liable to be impeached bvtue House of Representatives, or to be indicted in the criminal courts of Dauphin county, and, if convicted, to be punished; apaitof which punishment would bo a removal from their office. Considered a Monstrous "Proposal. The proposition Is that the punishment may bo inflicted without impeachment, without trial, and Without conviction. The proposition itself, to my mind, is so mon strous that it ought to startle every intelli gent citizen of this Commonwealth. I will submit two simple, plain proposi tions, and attempt to maintain them: First, that no citizen of tbe Commonwealth who has been elected to an office created by the Constitution or statute, who has been duly commissioned and has duly qualified and entered upon the duties of the office can be lawfully and properly removed from that office as a punishment for misbehavior in office, without first being eltber impeached by the House of Representatives, tried and convicted before the Senate sitting as a high court of impeachment, or indicted in tbe ordinary criminal courts and there tried and convicted of such alleged misbehavior in office. 'Secondly, that neither the Senate of Pennsylvania, in executive session, nor the Governor of this Commonwealth, nor both the Senate and the Governor com bined, are authorized, under the Constitu tion and laws of Pennsylvania, to try and vrfKBJW " 'M THE CBILEAX BLUFF.

The distinguished lawyer droppett'J11'0 politics, and as a Democrat said; I remember well tha condition of things in this country 30 years ago and for many years p afterwards, the excitement that ran not, tho disposition more was to sec asiue tne provi sions of the Constltntion and all the safe guards of individual liberty. If a provision such aa the one nnder which this dangerous power is claimed here had existed in the Constitution then, we can well imagine what would have been the consequences. If a time such as that should come again, and, there should bo a Governor and two-thirds of the Senate agreeing in politics, there would not ,be lert in the State pf. Pennsylvania an' elected offlaer in any of thi 'office (hit ''they could restb. IfhBre had been a Republican Senate, to the ixtentol two-thirds, a Vid a Re-' jmblicau uovernor during tne war, mere would not have been a Democratic officer In Berks, or Northampton, or Lehigh, or any Democratic county left; every one of them would have been removed on tbe charge of disloyalty to the Government. It is a power that Democrats dare not give or agree to fiveto any branch of the Government; and , as a Democrat, protest against any con struction such as tbe one contended for here as dangerons to the people of Pennsyl vania and especially dangerous to members of my party. Herbert, RIPE FOR REVOLUTION. THE HAWAIIAN QDEEN'S SUBJECTS TTKED OF HEK KEIGN. They Are Anxious to Have a Republic With President Getting Restive Under the Control of British Consul and Mission aries One Step Taken. Washington, Oct 29. Special. Celso .Casar Mareno, the representative of the National party in Hawaii, to-day re ceived the following letter from Honolulu, dated October 16, and written by one of the leaders of the party: "The missionary, Mott Smith, leaves by to-day's steamer for "Washington, and prob ably goes also to London, with a political mission entrusted to him by the missiona ries and also by Queen Liliuokolani. The, aim of his mission is to request the United States Government to keep continually a man-of-war in the harbor of Honolulu, and to land the marines in case of a revolution, to protect the missionaries who are no longer American citizens, but Hawaiian citizens. The Queen is under the absolute control of British Consul General "Wood house and the missionaries, which thing makes her very unpopular with the natives and with the American residents. "The people are looking for a new ruler, a President for the Hawaiian republic. The newspapers are full of republican ideas, and all have opened their eyes since the British intrigues and arrogance began. The gov ernment of the Queen is very weak, and can be upset at any time. The Ministers are very poor men, and the principal adviser of the Queen and of her Ministers is a big and ignorant blacksmith. But the time is near for the downfall of all of them. "Dear friend, Moreno, I hope that you have seen Secretary Blaine andf President Harrison on behalf of our party, which is bound to win, as the Congressional party did win in Chile. Keep us posted."

About noon yesterday it was announced that he had de cided vto bring suit for criminal and civil libel against Chairman Kerr, of the Demo cratic State Committee, and those news papers whose comments upon the Keystone Bank due bill were not satisfactory to the Beaver statesman. The following-telegram was then sent out: PrrrsBUSG, October 29, 159L LonlsA. Watres, Continental Hotel, Philadelphia: Please have tbe County Chairman In the different counties procure two copies of each paper In their respective counties that published the lithographed copy of tbe Eardsley certificate, and carefully preserve them for future use. M. S. Quat. The Senator, retained Thomas M. Mar shal, Esq., Maj. K. A. Montooth and ex District Attorney Eobb to prosecute the. libel cases. He was in consultation with his attorneys all the morning and apportion of the afternoon. Instituting Criminal Actions. Criminal proceedings aimed at the Pitts burg Tost were formally commenced last evening, and the three attorneys named above are authorized to enter an additional civil suit for $100,000 damages in the local courts to-day. The criminal informations were made before Alderman McMasters, of Grant street, the attorneys having drafted the form and inserted the alleged libelous statements at Mr. fiobb's office early, in the afternoon. Two informations were made, oilaor the statements made in an editorial "Wednesday morning, and the other for languageesed editorially yesterday. After draftiBo" the "information type--writtea copies ere made by the attorneys and they were plated" ia tie hands of the Alderman, who w&5 Senator Quay's room at the Seventh Ayenne Hotel.

J County of Allegheny, ss.: Before me, an Alderman in and for tha city of Pittsburg, in tbe county aforesaid, personally came Matthew S. Quay, who upon oath duly administered according to law deposes and says that the above-named de fendants, with the others who may here after be brought in, did on the S3th day of October, 1891, willfully, falsely and malic iously print, publish and circulate of and concerning affiant the following in the col umns of the Pittsburg Port, a newspaper printed and published in the city and county aforesaid: "ABABPSLrT-QtXATDrviPE. The important disclosures this morning that Senator M. S. Qnay, who has Just taken command of the Gregg-Morrison campaign in Philadelphia, was in the Bardsley steal will surprise no one. Prom tho outset the general belief in all parties has been that the sly, secretive, money-grabbing Qnay was "in it," and exposure was only a matter of time. Exposure has come. Governor Fattison, in his message, on the basis of the report of experts, states that . Bardsley made not les3 than $300,000 in inter est, dividends and bribes, apart from his salary and fees and what he stole. Bards ley's payment of $8,877 to Quay, through the Keystone Bank, has therefore a very modest recognition. Possibly there are other undis covered drafts. For that information the people will have to wait until after election, when the Senate may conclude to take up the McCamant case, unless it is too black for whitewashing." Affiant further says that the charges mads against him are false, malicious anu with out any reasonable ground for belief. Affiant never had any business relations either directly or indirectly with John Bardsley, either as treasurer of the city of Philadelphia or as an individual; and the whole charge is false in o very particular. M. S. Quay. Sworn to and subscribed, 29th day of Octo ber, 1831. Jas. V. JIcMastirs, Alderman. One Alteration Was Made. Near the close of this information, as prepared by the attorneys, was the follow ing sentence: "And no knowledge of the said Bardsley as a man or officer." Befora the Senator swore to the correctness of the document, however, he directed the Alder man to strike out these words, and the in formation on file ha3 a line drawn through, them. The second affidavit was identical with the above, with the exception of the editorial extracts, which were from a paper of another date. The Alderman returned to his office im mediately after he had secured the Sena torial signature, under oath, to each of t he informations, and placed warrants for the arrest of the defendants in the hands' of Detective Heiner. Mr. Heiner notified them by telephone of the suits. At 3 o'clock last night Mr. Albert J. Barrcalled at the Alderman's office accompanied by several friends, and entered $2,000 bail for his appearance at the hearing between 1 and 2 o'clock, to-morrow afternoon. Edwin Z. Smith, Esq., furnished the bail bond. Mr. Mills is expected to appear and furnish bail at 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. Barr was seen by a reporter, but declined to make any personal statement concerning the actions instituted or contemplated. No Longer a Silent Statesman. The Senator was found by a DISPATCH reporter at the Seventh Avenue Hotel yes terday afternoon sleeping as peacefully as if the step that had excited the politicians was one of his everyday political moves.
