"Washington, Nov. 6. Ex-Postmaster
General Don M. Dickinson, of Michigan,
has been interviewed here on the general
subject of politics viewed in the light of
Tuesday's election, and as usual he is in
tensely enthusiastic over the result and
brilliant prospect of the future, Mr. Dick
inson regards the victories in New York,
Massachusetts and Iowa as promising great
things for Grover Cleveland and tariff reform,
but poc-poohs the Republican victory in
Ohio and the almost equally significant one
in Michigan.
In fact, he almost entirely ignored the
Michigan situation, stating that tho few.
Democrats in Michigan believe that the
election of a Republican Congressman in
the Grand JJapids district docs not mean a
weakening of the fret traders in that State.
The fact that the late Representative Ford's
majority of 2,500 or more was overturned
and the Republican candidate elected by
1,200, carrying every county in the district,
and upon the tariff issue fair and square, is
not regarded by Dickinson as important
lie Does Not Notice Defeats.
This once powerful and somewhat dra
matic boss of the Michigan Cleveland Dem
ocrats has not a word to say in his interview
about the recent contest in Detroit in
which he and his lieutenants were utterly
routed, horse, foot and dragoon. Mr. Dick
inson, the Cnaicman. and Secretary ot tne
State Central Committee, and all of the
local leaders and workers who have for the
past six years enjoyed the patronage of the
Dickinsonian wing bolted the regular Dem
ocratic convention for the nomination of a
Mayor of Detroit after the nomination of
W. G. Thompson was made by the anti
Dickinsonian wing of the Detroit Democ
racy. The bolters adjourned to the cellar of the
building in which the convention was held
and nominated John Miner, a good Demo
crat, whombnt a fewyears before the Dickin
tonianshad repudiated. The Republicans re
nominated Mayor Pingrie. Dickinson and
ilp State, county and city organization
madea big fight for Miner. "When the
votes were counted Tuesday night it was
found that Pingrie was elected by a majority
of several thousand, carrying the entire
Republican ticket with him, thus over
turning the politics of the Board of Alder
men, and that Thompson, the anti-Dickinson
Democrat, had received 50 per cent
more votes than "The Junta's" candidate,
Miner.
Tlie Possible Oicrthrow of Dickinson.
The outcome of the fight is generally re
garded in Michigan as the overthrow of
Dickinson and that it is quite improbable
that he will be able to render much service
in 1892 foranv Presidental candidate, to say
nothing about helping himself to be placed
at the tail of the ticket But Mr. Dickin
son in his interview to-day says nothing
about the Detroit contest
He makes observations about the elections
elsewhere, however, that arc somewhat
interesting if not altogether trustworthy as
political prophecies. For instance he says
that Mr. Cleveland can carry Wis
consin. He then continues: "Every
one who was associated with Mr. Cleveland's
administration must rejoice over the result
in New ork, Massachusetts and Iowa. Mr.
Campbell made a glorious fight in Ohio and
deserves great credit for it I regret that
he is not to serve another term as Governor,
but McKinley's election is not much of a
victorv for the Republicans. To be decisive
he should have carried the State as Gorman
carried Maryland. "With the national party
organization straining every nerve in his
behalf, he should have been elected by a
verv much larger majority than he got
"From a party point of view his election
I think will prove a benefit to the Demo
crats, inasmuch as it will compel the Re
publicans to stand up to the fight in defense
of the McKinley law. That is, of course,
what we Democrats want If McKinley had
been beaten the Republicans would prob
ably now be looking around for some other
issue. I think the Democracy is sure of
success in 1892 on the tariff issue.
Willing; to Dodge Free Silver.
"The tariff will be the issue upon which
the campaign will be fought I do not think
that the silver question will figure in the
campaign. I think there will be legisla
tion of a tentative character on that sub
ject by the Fifty-second Congress. I doubt
it6 being possible to get a free coinage bill
through the Senate. The margin is very
narrow and in the last force bill fight had a
trreat deal to do with the vote on silver.
But if a free coinage bill should be passed
by both Houses of Congress the probabilities
are that it would be vetoed, and this con
sideration will probably lead to some ex
perimental, perhaps temporary financial
legislation, which will carry the whole
question over until after the national
election."
Mr. Dickinson said he thought the result
of Tuesday's vote made things look par
ticularly bright for Mr. Cleveland.
"I do not think," he said, "that there is
anything in this talk of great hostility
toward Mr. Cleveland on the part of Mr.
Hill and his friends. I think it will be
lound that the party in New York is united
on Cleveland."
"Do vou think the Democrats can hold
Iowa""'" , .
"Beyond question, Iowa may be counted
as a safe Democratic State on the tariff
issue. Her electoral vote will be cast for
the Democratic candidate for President in
1802."
"How about Massachusetts?"

THE CURTAIN BUNS DOWN
ON STATE POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS
FOR THE SEASON.
Chairman Watres Very Happy as He Settles
Up Affairs A Compliment for Mr.
Leath Chairman Kerr Wants the Office
No Longer Ont of Pocket
Philadelphia, Nov. 6. Special
Both political headquarters closed to-day
for the season of 189L The little act that
brought down the curtain for the last time
was a transaction in which but few partici
pated. Last bills and final credits were on
file by noon, and no, a vestige of the late
campaign met the eye of farewell callers an
hour later.
Republican Chairman "Watres was es
pecially happy over the great success his
party registered at the polls last Tuesday,
lie was a Continental Hotel arrival early in
the day, and late in the afternoon left tor
his home in Scranton. "Our victory is en
tirely on a line with my estimates, as far as
the majorities for General Grecc and Cap
tain Morrison are concerned," said Chair-i
man Watres, "and the campaign was con
ducted on a dignified and honorable basis.
It did not require any length of time for
the people to understand the situation and
appreciate the fitness of our ticket, and,
contrary to many assertions, I do not be
lieve the result was in doubt from the
convention day to the closing of the polls.
Yes, we shall "be here next year, and now
that the work has been so greatly simpli-
uca oy tne excellent executive uireuuuu
and system of Mr. Leach, the Presidental
campaign will open without friction or
trouble. You know there was a change of
chairmen some months ago, and that al
ways implies new plans and measures."
Democratic State Chairman James Kerr
was at the Penn Square rooms to-day, and
made arrangements to close his headquar
ters finally. The lease on the building
runs out in December, and it is probable it
will not be renewed. The rent paid is ?1,100
a year, and of this sum the Democratic City
Executive Committee settled for $400, and
Mr. Kerr met the remaining 5700 due out of
his own pocket His past campaign was
conducted on plans that had very little cash
to back them. Mr. Kerr left for "Washing
ton to-day noon, confident of success in his
fight for Chief Clerkship of the Fifty-second
Congress. He has many assurances of
support, to-day's mail bringing word that
the Michigan delegation had declared on
his side.
"The election is done for, and there is
nothing to be gained by talking," said Mj.
Kerr, as he prepared to go away with ex
Speaker Faunce, who called early. "There
are some enigmas that will nnravel by and
by, and those who come after will gather
the harvest"
"Will you continue as State Chairman
next year?"
"I do not expect to. In fact I might sav
very safely I do not see how I can look
after this work, nor why I should be ex
pected to. The way is open for another
man, as I am really not in a position to
keep at the head of the State Committee
any longer."
BLAINE AND M'KINLET CLUBS
To Be Formed Throngboat Kansas, and the
Booms "Worked Thoroughly.
TOPEKA, Kax., Xov. 6. Special The
recent elections in Xew York, Massachu
setts, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa have
caused a great deal of Presidental talk
among the leaders of both parties. For the
past two months Cleveland's hold upon the
Kansas Democracy has been slipping away,
but the result in Xew York is credited
largely to his entry in the campaign, andlf
the convention to elect delegates was held
to-day, other names wonld be mentioned and
instructions would be unanimously passed,
"Cleveland and Boies" is the Idealticket of
the Kansas Democrats. On the other hand,
Republicans are overjoyed with the great
victory achieved over their greatest enemy,
the new People's party. Blaine has always
been the choice of Kansas' Republicans, but
the recent elections have stimulated the
sentiment, and nearlv every Republican is
or him.
To-night a quiet meeting is beipg held by
a few leading Republicans of the State to
start a movement for Blaine and McKinley
for 1892. It is surprising the number of
Republicans who have announced these
names as their choice. The meeting to
night is attended by prominentRepublicans
who are desirous of forming Blaine and
McKinley clubs all over tfie State and pre
pare to send a solid delegation to the next
convention for these leaders. It is claimed
that in the event of Mr. Blaine's death a
man his peer as a leader would succeed to
the Presidencv, and that such a

Cantos, If ov. 6. SpaHdl The greatest
celebration in the history of Canton oc
curred here to-night, it being a Republican
jollification over the election of Major Mc
Kinley. Republicans from all over the
State arrived in the city to take part in the
celebration. Early in the evening delega
tions began arrive and they poured in until
9 o'clock, when it was estimated that 5,000
visitTs were in the city.
The parade, which was the leading
feature of the occasion, passed the
Hurford House, where it was reviewed
by Major McKinley. Delegations from
Cleveland, Akron, Massillon, Alliance,
Xew Berlin, Greentown, Uniontown and
othcrplaces marched. Afterward the Major
was escorted to a stand in the Square, where
he spoke to an audience of 10,000 people.
To-night a gorgeous display of fireworks
took place.

LAID TO THE SILVER PLANE.
What Senator Palmer Says of the Result of
the Ohio Campaign.
Springfield, Ill.,Uov.6 Senator-elect
General John H. Palmer credits the Demo
cratic defeat in Ohio largely to the
silver plank in the Democratic plat
form. "The importance of the silver
plank in the State platform,"
said the General was exaggerated to the
greatest extreme, and all through the cam-"
naign the tariff issue was lost sight of. At
least it was a secondary matter. There is
no denying that Senator Sherman's reputa
tion as a financier had a good deal to do
with the result His campaign on the
money question tended greatly to detract
attention from the tariff issue.

The Secret Irish Agreement With

ALL SORTS OF REPRESENTATIONS.
Another Friend of Mrs. Parhell Threatens
Ilealya Thrashing.

CCOrTRIGHT. 1891, BT THE HIW YORK ASSOCIXIXD
PRESS.
Londos', Nov. 6. An authorized expla
nation 'sent to the Gladstonian papers
anent the Liberal leader's share in the
Boulogne negotiations, will only serve to
confirm the suspicion that Mr. Gladstone's
old parliamentary hand has been once more
working in darkness in trying to win the ad
hesion of the solid Irish party, while keep
ing the terms of the bargain secret
Mr. O'Brien's statements are declared by
the Liberal leaders to be absurd misrepre
sentations. It is absolutely denied that the
Liberal leaders gave Mr. McCarthy or any
other negotiator any assurance as a basis for
a secret covenant There was no such
covenant, it is said, and everything Mr.
Gladstone said or did was meant to be pub
lished as from the housetops.
These official denials are so wrapt up in
verbal quibbles aa to be deprived of the
force inherent in a direct and honest contra
diction. Thus Mr. O'Brien's proposed
secret agreement, while it is declared that
it was never made to Gladstone, is ad
mitted in an authoritative communication
to the Gazette to have been made to Mr. Mor
ley and to have been rejected.
The Gladstone Interview Ended.
Further,the GlaSstone interview with the
Boulogne deputation is denied. Mr, Glad
stone declined, it is said, to see the deputa
tion, but he saw Mr. McCarthy, to whom
he gave no fresh assurances. "What Mr.
O'Brien called secret assurances simply
meant Mr. Gladstone's endorsement of the
public statements of Mr.Morley in pledging
the Liberals to give the Irish Legislature
control of the police and power to deal with
the land question.
These disclaimers in themselves prove
that Messrs. Gladstone aud Morley had
secret communication with Messrs. O'Brien,
Dillon and McCarthy during the Boulougne
negotiations. But the Liberals have reason
to (ear, while the Conservatives exult the
the prospects of further revelations. The
document which Mr. Carthy produced at
Boulogne as one embodying Mr. Gladstone's
latest assurances, was only one of the sever
al communications from the Liberal leaders.
Mr. O'Brien holds some of these communi
cations, which Messrs, Harrington and
Redmond challenge him to publish. It is
not probable,however, that Mr.O'Brien will
disclose them as longas the alliance with the
Liberals exists.
Mrs. Farnell Holds a Band.
The widow of Mr. Parnell has other of
these communications, and it is now ex
pected that they will come to light as soon
ns her recovery will enable her to take part
in the defense of Mr. Parnell and to strike
his enemies. The exigencies of the position
created by the disclosures is keenly felt by
the Liberals and confirms the general party
demand that Mr. Gladstone .shall at the
earliest opportunity make a clear statement
of his revised home rule scheme.
UEidnisSf revel in the personal 'criticisms
of the leaders on each side in the Cork elec
tion contest Mr. Redmond describes "Mr.
O'Brien as acting the part of a bogus peace
maker and fighting for his own hand.
Patrick O'Brien states that William
O'Brien privately denounced Mr. Dillon as
aiming at the leadership, and said that if
Mr. Dillon remained in America he would
have been able to bring about a reunion.
"Self-seekers first and patriots a long way
afterward," is the burden of the compli
ments exchanged by the opposing factions.
Another Thrashing; Awaits Healy.
Timothy M. Healy must face a worse en
counter than tho ono he had with Mr. Mc
Derroott Henry Harrison, M. P. for Tip
perary, warned Mr. Healy that if he re
peated his insulting allusions to Mrs. Par
nell he would take the law into his own
hands and punish Mr. Healy. Mr. Healv,
in repeating his references to Mrs. Parnell,
added that he would not mince words in
dealing with the matter because she had
found a protector in Mr. Harrison, who had
declared his readiness to vindicate her
honor. Mr. Harrison, who is of athletic
build, will bide his time to get at Mr.
Healy, who is now constantly protected by
police.
Alio iroiu ut jnuniuip. l uiiiiw.
The Conservative press announced that
the labor candidates in the municipal elec
tions were everywhere defeated. An analy
sis of returns, on the contrary, show that
labor men carried 30 seats in Englind,
some districts returning two at the head of
the polls. The general results favor the
Radicals. The elections were fought on
party lines chiefly, and forecast a triumph
for the Gladstonians in the coming Parlia
mentary elections. There were several in
stances where labor candidates opposed
Liberals and thus gave a victory to the
Conservatives. The Coniervatives cap
tured two seats in Bradford through a
division' of the Radical vote.
China Mutt Reply This Month.
The Foreign Office awaits a response from.
Peking to the ultirrtotum demanding the
adoption of adequate measures .to punish
the leaders in the recent outrages and to se
cure n resumption of trade in the Huan
province. Sir Jchn Walsham, the British
Minister to China, has been directed to give
the Chinese Government until the end of
the month to reply, when, failing satisfac
tion, the combined foreign fleet will seize
Shanghai and other treaty ports on the
Yang-Tse-Kiang and the powers will take
control of the customs of each port until
the matter in dispute is arranged. The
British Admiral, who is now at Xagaski,
two days' steaming distance from Shanghai,
has been warned to hold the Bqnadron in
readiness.
PEANCE AND ITALY MAKING DP.
Tho. Tariff War Between the Countries
Mow to Cease.
Rome, Nov. 6. The news from Paris that
the Council of Ministers has decided to
abolish the differential duties now levied in
France against Italian products, has given
the greatest satisfaction to the people of
Italy. This measure has been taken even
before the new tariff laws are to go into
force, not only for economical reasons but
also as a proof that France desires hereafter
the most cordial relations with Italy.
The importance of this measure to the
agriculturist of Italy can hardly be overes
timated. France has been for many years
their chief customer, until the beginning of
the tariff war, which is now to cease, and
the sudden closing of her market, especially
to-Italian wines, added seriously to the
crisis that has produced so much misery
during the past few years.

Cork, Nov. 6. At the close of the poll
ing to-day for member of Parliament to
succeed Parnell, Mr. Flavin, the Mc
Carthyite candidate, was credited with the
victory. . The poll boxes were escorted, from
the outlying districts by troops and police.
The counting of the ballots will commence
in the morning.
The polling was heavy. Even the lame
and the blind were sought out and brought
up to the polling places. It has been notice
able that in the manv altercations between
the priests and the Pamellites the women
in most cases sided with the priests. "Will
iam O'Brien received an ovation from the
women, who presented him with flowers
and even divested themselves of their
shawls tor him to walk upon,
The supporters of Flavin claim a majority
of 1,200 for him, while the Pamellites be
lieve that they carried the election by a
niaority of 1001
As the morning wore on the sky became
overcast, and contrary to general expecta
tions, the polling opened quietly. This, of
course, was 'somewhat due to the fact that
the more turbulent spirits of both factions
were still sleeping off the fatigues of last
night's campaigning while preparing for
the grand finale to-day. In order to avert
possible disorder, the" polls were strongly
guarded by squads of police, ha had come
prepared for any emergency. The early
morning voters were few in number and did
not attract any more than ordinary atten
tion. Between 9 and 10 o'clock the polling
became brisk, and people generally began
to warm up to the occasion. That period of
the day here is the workingmen's breakfast
hour, and consequently luige numbers of
them took advantaee of that interval of rest
to deposit their ballots.
In addition to the precautions taken by
the police authorities the military command
of this district had taken extraordinary
steps to meet any kind of an uprising or to
restore order under the most desperate cir
cumstances. The whole of the garrison of
Cork and of the adjacent fortifications were
confined to barracks and there held under
arms.

St. Petersburg, Nov. G. The Governor

Madrid, Nov. C. Admiral de Beranger,

Four pistol shots were exchanged, but
neither of the combatants was wounded.
The second then interfered, declared both
principals satisfied and refused to allow any
further hostilities.
Admiral de Beranger is one of the leading
figures in Spanish politics and has been

rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATCH.1
New York, Nov. 6. The relapse into
drunkenness of Colonel John F. Mines, the
literary champion of the bi-chloride of
gold cure for dipsomania, and his death in
the workhouse hospital, has caused a great
deal of talk. Many of Dr. Keeley's patients
have been persons of some prominence, and
have gone to him without Informing their
friends. Nearly every citv in the country
has been represented at Dwight, and none
of.-those who have returned have come for
ward to prove that the cure does not always
work. It has been noticed repeatedly that
patients who have not relapsed have no ob
jection to saying that they weie at Dwight
In fact, nearly all of them seem to have a
desire to tell all the world about their ex
perience. One of the "cured," when asked aVout
this recently, replied: "Why should not I
talk about it? Those who believe in Pi.
Keeley do not look upoa drunkenness as a
vicious habit, but as a disease, for which the
victim is no more responsible than is the
sufferer from smallpox. It is no more a Te
proach to a man to suffer from the one than
the other. "What we desire is to convinoe
the world of this."
Prominent Men Talking of Dwight.
From to-day's talk it is evident that a
good, many men known around town have
been considering the advisability of a trip
to Dwiht. A well-known politician who
has been on a Bpree since election day was
makinglhimself conspicuous in the corridor
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel Thursday night,
when tho. clerk grabbed him by the shoulder
and advised mm to go home, as tne poli
tician turned away several others shrugged
their shoulders, and one remarked: "Well,
it won't be long before he will be trying
the gold cure."
How far the general belief in the treat
ment will be affected by Mines' relapse is
hard to tell. A physician who has been in
terested in the treatment S3id in regard to
this: "While Mines' case does not prove
the worthlessness oi the Keeley treatment,
physicians will not have faith in alleged
cures until Keeley does what he should
have done before explains to the medical
fraternity the properties of his medicine.
It is not " necessary that he should abandon
his rights to the profits of his cure, but it is
the belief of the best physicians throughout
the world, that when a physician discovers
a great remedy for human ills he should
make it known, so that its actual worth can
he tested. Some physicians go farther, and
say that in such an advent the" cure ought to
be given free to the world and that the
glory in the discovery should be sufficient
for the physician. I do not go so ,far as
that
The Doctor Entitled Fully to His Fee.
"In this age everybody is hustling for the
almighty dollar, and I do not see why the
phvslcian who works hard all his life js not
entitiejl -Jtr the benefits of his brain, work.
But it would "not have hn necessary' for
Dr. Keeley io abandon the profits when"he
took into his confidence physicians of re-
Eute. On ,the contrary, their, verdict in
ivor of his cure would have increased his
practice and yet established professional
confidence in his methods. I-firmly believe
that If Keeley doee not rapidly make
known his secret all confidence in it will be
lost. Many physicians believe that drunk
enness is a disease, and that there will some
day be a cure for it Others don't agree
with this view."
It is unquestionably true that physicians
generally have regarded Dr. Keeley's cure
with suspicion. Many have openly ex
pressed their belief that it was not genuine.
Dr. "W. A. Hammond, T,. R. Crotcbers and
G, M. Carpenter have written articles pom
bating the theory "involved in the Keeley
cure.
It has been suggested that some of the
good results ascribed to Keeley's cure are
due to' hypnotism. All the patients
unite in saying that Pr. Keeley
is a man of great personal mag
netism, and that he has wonderful
influence over his patients. Some of the
accounts of the manner in which he receives
patients are likely to raise the impression
that his personal force, acting on the dis
eased condition ot mind found in most
habitual drunkards, makes the latter be
lieve whatever he wishes them to. When
professional hypnotists have given public
fierformances they have chosen drunkards
ust recovered from sprees as the best sub
ects. ' i
Dr. Shrady Thinks Faith Shattered.
Pr. George F. Shrady, editor of the Mdi
ealJiecord. said to-day: "The case of Colonel
Mines will, I believe, kill popular, confi
dence in the treatment Physicians have
always distrusted the cure not so much be
cause it was kept secret, as because it was
irrational. The public believed it because
it was founded on specious arguments and
backed up with personal experiences that
seemed incontestable. People seemed to
have the notion that doctors who expressed
disbelief were jealous. It will draw atten
tion to, the fact that there is always some
thing suspicious about remedies that are
kept secret They have not proved their
right to be."
Corner Messemer and the Bellevue Hos
pital surgeons concluded "to-day that there
was no need of an autopsy in the case of
Colonel Mines. The Charity Hospital sur
geons certified that death was due to "ex
haustion from anaemic convulsions following
nephritis," or, in English, blood poisoning,
consequent on inflammation of the kidneys.
The Coroner thought that an autopsy would
do nothing toward the discovery of the
effect of the gold cure, as so long a time had
elapsed since the patient had oeen under
the treatment '

LACEY REPLIES TO CHABGES.
The Bank, Which He Knew to Be Unsound
Long Ago Is Not In Boston.
Bostojt, Nov. 6. ComptrolleiJLacey said
this afternoon: "The Maverick National
Bank was closed by my orders upon infor
mation from Mr. Ewer that the bank was
insolvent, supported by the investigation of
members of the Clearing House Committee.
The report that six months ago I advised a
bank president to withhold any report on
the Maverick Bank in the hope that the
bank might recover, is without foundation.
There is not a shadow of truth in the state
ment that I did.
"The bonk alluded to in the report con
cerning Secretary Foster as having been in
bad condition three or four months ago and
which has since pulled through, is not a
Boston bank. It was more than 1,000 miles
from Boston. As to the report from Wash
ington that-the condition of things in Bos
ton is far from satisfactory, t have only this
to say, that so far as I know the only unsat
isfactory thing is the failure of the Maverick
Bank."

BLUE JACKETS KOT IN GOOD FATOR
Chicago, Nov. 6." A private letter re
ceived in Chicago to-day from Benjamin J.
Wells, one of the officers of the United
States steamship Baltimore, by his father,
thoroughly explodes the assertions of
British naval officers that the "Baltimore
acted as a spy on the Chilean insurgents
when the latter made the landing at
Qnintero.
The officers of H. M. S. Champion, ac
cording to dispatches from Victoria, B. C,
declare that when the landing took place
the Champion was lying alongside the Bal
timore at "Valparaiso, and that the Bal
timore steamed around the point to Quin
tero, watched the entire debarkation of the
CongtMsionalists and then deliberately re
turned to the Government wharf at Val
paraiso, reporting the important informa
tion gained to the officials hostile to the
Junta. The bitterness of the Chileans, re
sulting subsequently in the massacre of the
members of the Baltimore's crew, is at
tributed by the British officers to the alleged
spying on the part of the American war
vessel. The letter, which is dated August
31, says'.
Not on the Scene of Battle at AIL
"My last letter to you was from Coquim
bo. The day it was mailed we received
word that the insurgents had landed near
Valparaiso."
The extract shows conclusively that the
Baltimore, so far from being alongside the
Champion the day of the Quintero's land
ing, as asserted by the English officers, was
not at Valparaiso ornear'Quintero as all,
but at Coquimbo. The Baltimore, Mr.
Wells says, did not leave Coquimbo until
after midnight and news of the landing had
reached him at breakfast. It was not until
sunset of the following evening that the
Baltimore came to anohor in Valparaiso
harbor, the first thing attracting attention
being the insurgent warships Abatao and
Magellanes with flags flying at nil their
masts incelebration of the insurgent success
in the first day's" fight
The letter describes the exciting scenes
attending the fall of Valparaiso, the taking
of refugees, including wounded officers and
women and children aboard the Baltimore
and the practical accession of the Junta to
power, adding prophetically: "We will not
te in good favor here. That may be taken
for granted. After capturing the Itata and
cutting the cable at Iquique, our chances
for bare politeness are slim,"
Entire Battalions Wiped Oat.
The letter concludes as follows: "I heard
the Minister of War say last night that as
the tide of battle was turning against them,
he turned to the commander of one of the
battalions and said to him: 'Major, where
are your men? Post them in such and such
a place.'
"The officer answered: 'Sir, the battalion
no longer exists.
'Just think of it! Entire battalions
completely wiped out, and this was only
one of many. There is no doubt about it
that the Government was frightfully beaten.
All the doctors we' cau spare are ashore
working in the hospitals. One that we
sent ashore yesterday went up to the battle
field and worked over the wounded there.
Fifteen hundred were brought in last
night "
It was after this letter, telling of the
Baltimore's surgeon's work of humanity had
been mailed, that a portion of the Balti
more's crew was frightfully maltreated in
the streets of Valparaiso, the incident so
peculiarly referred to by the officers of the
British war vessel Champion. Mr. Wells
was the officer in charge of the boats that
landed a detachment of American blue
jackets and marines to protect the United
States Consulate during the disorder follow
ing the insurgent victory.

CHILE'S NEW PRESIDENT.
ADMIRAL MONTT SAID TO BE A COOT
HEADED. STATESMAN.
His Election Signifies Peace Chile Not
Likely to Demand Egan's Recall Popu
lar Feeling Said to Be Tnrnlns; In Favor
of the Americans.
Washington, Nov. a Special State
Pepartment officials are inclined to take
rather a more cheerful view of the Chilean
situation since the election of Admiral
Montt to the Presidency. The Admiral
has the reputation of being a cool-headed,
conservative man, and it is believed if he is
not hurried into some indiscreet action by
his more rasli and impetuous advisers all
questions growing ont of the attack upon
American seamen will be settled by diplo
matic means.
A high authority stated to-day that Min
ister Egan will not be recalled unless the
Chilean Government 'shall make a formal
complaint against him as a persona non
grata, as a diplomat is termed whose pres
ence is distasteful to the country to which
he is accredited. No reason need be as
signed by a country thus rejecting a minis
ter, and it cannot be regarded atari offensive
act by snch a government. While it is un
doubtedly true that there is mnch popular
feeling against Mr. Egan in Chile, it is not
believed that the Government there will ask
for his recall unless driven to such a course
by popular sentiment.
There seems to be a tendency among the
leaders of the Congressionahsts to change
the popular sentiment in regard to Mr.
Egan, and not only have several of the
leaders of the successful party written let
ters to the Chilean papers defending his
course, but some of them have even gone so
far as to write letters to the State Depart
ment here assurifig the Secretary that the
leading people of Chile do not approve of
the popular anti-American sentiiaent, and
that no fault is to be found with the Minis
ter's course. Mr. Egan's friends in this
country strongly assert that the whole
movement against him is instigated and
kept alive by British agents in Chile.
The tendency just now seems to he to.
make Admiral Brown the scapegoat for
whatever blunders may have been com
mitted by the United States in Chile, and
on his arrival at San Francisco he will
probably be given an opportunity to explain
the reports that he acted as a spy for Bal
maceda Government

Many Stubs Are Missing.
To the Auditing Committee:
(3E3TIEMZS In accordance with your re
quest that w e verify the reported payments
of various sums of money to John R.
Murphy and the Mayor's office for amuse
ment license to exhibit in Exposition Park
during the ears 18SI and 1SS5, wo find that
the stubs of tho amusement license receipt
hook, previous to October 2j, 1SS4, are miss
ing and cannot be found.
We examined the stabs beginning October
23, 1881, and find that license No. 710, dated
June 13, 1SJ5, for 13 theatrical performances.
No. 717, dated Jnly 13, 18rt, for 18 ditto; No.
718, dated July 23, 1385, for six theatrical per
formances, and No. 723, dated Augnst 14,
1685, for IC theatrical performances, being a
total of 53 theatrical performances at Expo
sition Park at $3 each, or 1230 in all, issued in.
the name of If. O. Price & Co., bnt do not find
a single instance wherein the fee of
$23 was paid or entered on the stub for any
single theatrical performance at the Expo
sition Park Theater, as is charged.-In re
gard to foot races, we failed to find a single
entry on stub that would indicate that any
exhibition of that character was given in
1381 after October 23 of that year or during'
the entire year of 1SS3.
The item respecting the sum of $1C0 as
having been paid for two days' exhibition
by P. T. Bamnm we find correct as shown
Ijy stub for license No. 7X1 issued September
23, 1SS3. Tho item mentioned respecting 12
day and eight evening performances given
by Buffalo Bill's Wild West show at Expo
sition Park, for which the sum of $30 wai
said to have been paid for each of the 20
performances, we find that onlyonellcerso

No. 731, dated September 21, 1S83, jor threu
performances on September 21, 22 and 23, for
all of which the sum of $13 was accounted to
the city.
No Record to Be Found.
In regard to the wheel of fortune item wo
cannot verify tho charzethat $200 per day
had been paid' Mayor Wyman. John E. Mur
phy and AT. L. Braun, for the reasons stated'
before respecting the missingstubs previous
to October 25, 18S4. Neither do wo find any
record on "tubs since that date respecting
the sum of $400 charged as having been paid
to John It. Murphy in 1SS5, nor of the sum of
$fiC0 charged as having been paid to Mayor
ATyman on the same account on the follow
ing day. The stubs that we examined do
not show the payment of any sum of money ,
for license to open the tobogzan slide at the
Exposition Park to the public, as has been
charged that $5 per day bad been collected
on this account.

In exhibit "R" the debits show the yearly
amount of money the Mayor's office has re

for commitments to jail ana worknousa
and discharged court cases.
The credits on the exhibits show the

City Treasury.
Exhibit "S" shows witness fees earned by -officers
in the regular course of duty which
are due and payable to the city, as per opin
ion of the City Solicitor.
Witness Fees Plentiful.
For example, on Juno 8, 1830, a raid was
made on house No. 95 River avenue, and nine ,,
persons were arrested without warrant,
eight wero charged on the docket with "dis
orderly conduct," one with "drnnkennesss."
The docket numbers of above cases are 701 to

was discharged. In seven case3 the defend
ants paid $1 50 each witness fees, and in tho
remaining case $1 was paid as witness fees,
aggregating $11 60, which properly belongs to

failed to find any evidence to show that any
witnesses were called, except city officers.
Again, on April 10, 1S91, 31 persons were ar
rested on view, and at tho hearing, held on
the 20th, two of these prisoners were dis
charged. The remainingl9 were charged with
disorderly conduct and were convicted on
the strength of testimony given by four offi
cers of tho citr and two other persons, wit
nesses. Each "defendant in these 49 cases
wns taxed $2 60 witness fees aggregating
$122 50; dedncting two fees due the
witnesses that aro not officers leaves wit
ness fees in these cases $121 50 dtip tho cityas

docket was disorderly conduct Two of
these defendants were discharged; in tho
other cases the records show but two wit
nesses testified and both of these were offi

been taxed up and in the remaining one 50
cents is taxed up. aggregating $11 50, all of
which is due the city and should bo paid into
the City Treasury.
