THE PITTSBURG-" DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1891 JM INSANE AMBITION Balmaceda Wanted to Unite the South American Kepnblics With Him self as President. A- CONSPIRACY AGAINST FONSECA. English and German Plotters Accused of Trying to Eestore the Mon archy in Brazil. R , 0. OFFICIAIS 1XSPECT THE LISE. Eij Impmemtnts for the Mountain Brxnch and the Fittstrais and Western. TV. F. Burns, of San Francisco, who was employed in the secret service of Balma ceda, is still at the Anderson. He speaks Spanish and Portuguse fluently, and has traveled extensively through South America. He thinks it is about time for the United States Government to make an example of somebody south of the equator, where Yankees are compelled constantly to deny their country and claim they are English men for the protection which the British Sag aflords. He insists that the Americans have good cause for complaint against the Chileans, and they should enforce their rights at the point of the sword, if neces sary. "The Brazilians," said Mr. Burns Yes terday, "are the only people in South America who have any love for lis. The average native down there has no idea of the extent of our country or its resources. They are only acquainted with the English, French, German and a few other continental nations. The Chileans style themselves the Sonth American Yankees, and they are a very clever business people. Their conceit, however, is something wonderful, and they haven't the least doubt about their ability to successfully cope with the United States. Think Thej Can TMiip America. I was amused one day with a Chilean who said to me that France had a sreat army and England a strong navy, but his country had both. Pick np any of the histories taught in ChiK-, and they contain nothing except an account of the war of 1812 between Spain and Chile in which they came out ahead, and the con flict with Peru when that Republic was worsted. I learn through friends that ropes were placed around Americans and they were dragged through the streets of their cities with horses. This is kow our people have been treated by the Chileans. "As for Balmaceda, I knew him person ally. I have always regarded him as a man with an insane ambition. He was anxious to unite the South American Republics with himself at the head. His name, by the way, is pronounced as if jt were spelled in this way, 'Balmatheda,' and the Junta has this pronunciation, 'Hoontah.' In discussing the Chilean war you must make allowance for the brute in the Spaniards. The Junta has committed a number of atrocious acts since it came into power, and I don't think it is any better than Balmaceda was. They have shot a great many people and thev are doing it all the time. ""What puzzles me is that the rich Pitts burg manufacturers do not take advantage ot the opportunities lor trade ottered by the reciprocity treaty with Brazil. The En glish have most of the trade in South America, and while they pretend to be friendly when we visit them or they come here, tfiey never hesitate to roast us behind our backs. X think that foreign scheming itoyt the bottom of the trouble in Brazil. I knw President Fonseca. His name is Deodora de Fonseca. and down there he known as General Deodora, which was father's name. His mother's name was enseca. Iroplieies Victory for Fonseca. "I wag introduced to Deodora in Bio Jan eiro by the American consul. He is a mighty nice fellow, and one of the most Democratic of men. He walks through the streets of Kio Janeiro,and greets everybody pleasantly. Fonseca discovered there was a bic conspiracy aided by Europeans to re store the monarchy. It was started imme diately after the dethronement of Dom Pedro, and to crush it he has appealed to the army, which is the great power, and for the present has declared himself dictator as the best method of getting at it. The seat of the trouble is in Bio Grande do Sul, a t-ontheastern province along the coast, chiefly inhabitated by Germans. These people hate the United States and are op posed to the reciprocity treaty. They have always neen trouuiesome, ana J. was present not long ago when a mob of 5,000 people rushed through the streets of the principal seaport one morn ing, and refuted to accept the Governor tent by Fonseca. An imperial Governor wa then put up. Fonseca lorwarded sev eral iron clads there, and compelled them to .cat his Governor. The waterin the harbor is only 13 feet, and they have succeeded in blockading it. The best way to reach the protince now with an army is to send the men through Uruguay. I expect to see this done shortly, as the vegetation to the north is fo thick that an army could not get through it I firmly believe that Presi dent Fonseca will come out victorious." EFFECTS OF TEE TASIFF. A Tailor Points Out Hon tlie McKinley Bill Benefits the Country. "As long as the tariff system stands, there are those who will never cease to railat it," remarked Charles Arkcll, a Xew York tailor, at the Union station yesterday. "The good effects of the McKinleybili are becom ing more apparent everyday. In my busi ness cloths have slightly advanced, but it is not more than a few dollars per suit on the material. In a few years I think the Amer icans will be able to make cloth as cheaply as the English. At any rate thousands of our own people are at work in cotton and woolen mills, which the tariff protects. I have done something this season that I net er did before. I ordered a lot of Amer ican goods instead of buying from the En glish, lam willing to give the home mak ers a chance. The quality may not be so good this year.'but I look lor better things in the future. "Without the duty we are at the mcrcv of the foreigners. I notice that lion the tarifl is low their prices are high, and vice versa. English cloths and hosicrv were never so cheap as at present. T hyV Well, their market is in this country, and they re duced the wages of their men to make up for the advance in the tariff. They can't get into the United States except by under selling us. This couvinces me that the tariffis a good thing for the American workmen, but very bad for the poor foreign laborer. However, our first duty is to pro tect the home toiler." Chief Arthur Sleeting the Engineers. Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engiueers.passed through the city last evening, bound for Baltimore. He Eaid he had arranged for a number of gatherings throughout the country, to meet the men and get better acquainted with them and their needs. Such a meeting will be held at Baltimore to-day, and he expected to see about 500 engineers present He said the order was growing, and he thought the en gineers were becoming more intelligent c ery year. The order is opposed to strikes, but they do not deny their right to resort to this method ot fixing up grievances if it is nec essary. He added that affairs were quiet in the railroad world, and there was no trouble anywhere. It was rumored some time ago that at the next meeting Mr. Ar thur would decline a re-election and that Allred Youngson, his assistant, would suc ceed him. The Chief declined to talk about it when asked. Youngson comes from ileadville, and for a number of years was an engineer on the Xypano road. Mr. Arthur spoke very highly of Youngson'a usefulness. BEXT TO CIHCIHHATL "ot Great Deal of Money Is Collected Sere on Unpaid Postage. "Oh, yes," said Colonel Hudson yester day at the postoffice, "we get letters here on which the postage has not been prepaid, but the number is not nearly as large as you would think. Cincinnati has the low est percentage, and Pittsburg comes next. On this kind of mail we receive from domestic and foreign business about $1,300 a quarter. I think the foreign letters paid for will amount to50 centsperday. Most of them are from Italy, Boumania, Hungary, and a few other countries where prepaying the postage is optional. In all such cases double rates are charged. I snnpose with the Italians their friends across the sea are too poor to buy the stamps, and rather than not hear from them the people on this side pay the postage. Every day almost letters destined to Australia ara returned to us from San Francisco, because of insufiicient postage. If we know the sender the letters are sent to them, and if we can't locate them the mail goes to the Dead Better Office. Australia is one of the coun tries that won't accept mail unless the postage as prepaid. When any of these unpaid letters appear in Xew York they are rated, and the amount due is stamped on the envelope which is paid here before delivery. Most of the nations of the world are now in the International Postal union, and their rates are uniform. "The foreism noDulation in this citv tnve us a great deal of trouble, especially the Italians, who move around so much. It is hard lor the carriers to keep track of them. Several Italian bureaus have been started in this city, and there seems to be a general understanding among the people to leave their names and addresses with them. "When we can't find an Italian we go to one of these bureaus. Every man pays them a small sum, and in this way they are main tained. A large banking concern in Sew York makes money looking up foreigners. B &0. OFFICIALS IN TOWN. The Jlorgantown Line to Be Completed ext Summer. President C F. Maver, with the officers and directors of the B. and O. road, reached Pittsburg yesterday afternoon on the annual inspection tour. Thev registered at the Monongahela House, and will go over the Pittsburg and "Western and Akron branch to-morrow. President Mayer claimed he was tired and refused to talk, as did the other officiaK On this trip it will be decided what is beet to be done to make the main line through Pittsburg equal to the traffic. One of the directors said that toe Pittsburg and Connellsville road to Cumberland would be greatly improved, and another track on the mountain division is among the possibilities. There are two tracks to Connellsville, but the line has all it can do at present to handle the traffic offered. Running the "Western freight over this end of the road will make the business very heavy and more facilities will be needed. One of the plana suggested when the Pittsburg and "Western was pur chased was to build a passenger depot at Baughlin and have n dummy meet the main line trains. The men on the Pittsburg di vision dont like the scheme. They claim it would virtually be abandon ing the Pittsburg depot. This is one of the problems that mustbe solved, and from, present indications 'the management will likely decide to run the passenger trains into the citv. Some time will be lost in Pittsburg and Alleehenv, but neither place will put up with an unsatisfactory service. The rolling stock on the Pittsburg and "Western is to be increased. The master car builder has been looking over this end of the system, and a number of locomotives and new cars will be ordered. The Uniontown branch will be extended to Morgactown next summer. It is expected the road will be finished by the coming falL This will connect Pittsburg with the Camden svstem of railroads in "West Virginia, and will be a big boon to the Morgantown people. CAN TAKB CASE OF A CROWD. Pittsbnrc Handled 100,000 People at the Soldiers' Convention in 1S72. "The people who think that Pittsburg can't take care of the crowd that will attend a National Bepublican Convention don't know what they are talking about," said Captain Orcutt, of the St Charles, yester day. "I am the oldest hotel man in town, and was here when the great meeting of soldiers and sailors was held in this city in 1872. Fully 100,000 people -Here present, and I am sure we have not had such a large crowd since. Such men as Garfield, Gen erals Butler, Burnsides, Sheridan, Hawley, Xogan and other prominent people were on hand. Everybody was provided with a bed, and nobody was compelled to sit up or sleep in the streets. In those days there were no Anderson, Seventh Avenue, Du quesne or Schlosser hotels. Now we have them, and they can take care of a number of guests. "You mnst remember that the convention will be held in June or July, the dullest months in the year. At such a time the local hotels are "almost empty, and don't half pay expenses. I know that we are better prepared to handle a large crowd than either Omaha, Minneapolis or St. Bonis. It is impossible now to get a good room at any of the New York hotels with out telegraphing in advance for it." Detroit Has Great Nerve. The Detroit delegation composed of Dem ocrats and Republicans, after the Bepub lican National Convention, passed through the city yesterday morning. They claimed they have a population of 250,000, 80 hotels that will accommodate 7,000 guests, and a rink on the lake that can be turned into a hall to hold 10,000 people. Ex-Senator Palmer and Don M. Dickinson are now in Washington and will co-operate with them. Irrthe crowd were lawyers, doctors, mer chants, hotel men and others. Ex-Congressman W. C Maybury, a Democrat, was the spokesman. The B. O. Gets Its Share. So many theatrical people in the large operatic companies were in the city during the week that it was an object to the pas senger agents to put forth their best efforts. The Baltimore and Ohio secured the Emma Juch Company, 120 members, to Philadel phia; the Dowling-Hasson people to Colum bus, and the Bentz-Santley company on the 26th to Wheeling. Coming in the road has Fanny Bice and her company from Cincin nati and Williams & Orr's "Meteors from if ew York. Thornton Bros., Allegheny.

YERY COSTLY SPORT. .Pittsburg Must Pay a Big Bill for the Carr-Pfeiffer Contest. THEYDIDFT VOTE IN A STOREBOX, But It Was Only Because They Didn't Think of It in That Ward. STENOGRAPHERS WILL EOT BE PAID The echo of ' an old election contest was heard in the Quarter Sessions yesterday, and it was one calculated to arouse sus picion in the minds of some citizens who have been in the habit of placidly regarding their liberties as perfectly assured and se cure behind the bulwark of free and un trammcled elections by soverign voters. Attorney Stillwagen, on behalf of P. M. Carr, and ex-Judge Fetterman for Henry Pfeiffer, contestants for a seat in Common Council from the Twenty-seventh ward, asked that the Court pass on the matter of costs arising out of the contest and which costs the taxpayers of the city must pay, through a long, tedious and expensive con test failed to determine who was elected. Mr. Stillwagen read a statement of the finding of the commissioner, J. 6. Bobb, Jr., which showed that in the First district of the ward there were 1G votes thrown out, the voters of 14 of which had not registered and had made no attempt to get registered. Two had made defective affidavits and one had not paid taxes within the time required by law to make a voter eligible. In the Second district were found 115 illegal votes, 61 voters not having regis tered, 31 had made no attempt to get registered, 30 had filed defective affidavits, 5 had not been naturalized, 16 had not paid the necessary taxes, 3 had voted on bogus tax receipts, which they neither paid, nor authorized any one else to pay; 9 voted on age without making the required affidavits, the names of 3 wfere added to the registry and no affi 'avits were found to entitle the addition, and 3 had not been assessed either in 1888 or 18S9. Couldn't Tell Good from Bad. In this district, the Second, it was im possible, on account of irregularities, to dis tinguish legal from illegal votes. The list kept by the clerk shows that there were 417 votes cast, and thename of Patrick Wilson is j not on the list, though he swore he voted long before the time to close the polls. One clerk skipped the numbers from 270 to 281, and continued before he discovered his error nntil he had reached 320. One clerk has a voter numbered 325,.while the other has him 326. It is claimed that the fact that seven witnesses testified that they naa votea lor uenry Kleiner, out wno were shown by the record found in the box to have voted for P. M. Carr, is held to prove that the inspectors had not been attending to their business. The grand result in the Second district is that 115 votes are thrown out, as it cannot be shown for whom they voted, as the dents lists do not tally. So End to Irreenlarltles. In the Third district 79 votes were ad judged illegal by the commissioner on ac count of defective affidavits as to their right to do so. The list of irregularities might be ex tended to a column in length, but the above will suffice to show the general condition of affairs that prevailed in the ward on that day. The result is that, although Mr. Pfeiffer gave up the contest long ago, Mr. Carr could not see hi"! way clear to claim the seat, and Pfeiffer has continued to oc cupy it, and will probably to the end of the term. The" question yesterday was one of costs, and they are considerable. Judge Ewing thought'5250 would be enough for the com missioner, but Mr. Fetterman contended it snouia De couu. Alter some con troversy, His Honor fixed it at 400, but refused to allow pay for steno graphic services. Messrs. Donnelly and Mead have both filed claims for this service, and now a controversy is snpposed to be in sight which they will, under order of court, be obliged to fight with the commissioner who employed them. Judge Ewing con tended that a stenographer was not a neces sity in such cases, and accordingly refused to grant allowance for the work. "There were 200 witnesses in the case and their fees, added to the constable's fees amounting to S100 for subpoenaing them, will make a nice little bill for the city to pay, and emphasizes the necessity of electing election officers who are competent to perform their duties, but "whether it will have the desired effect is exceedingly doubtful. a quartet of family jabs. Bright Dreams of Matrimony Prom "Which the Bliss Has Vanished. Four suits for divorce were entered yes terday. Attorney J. H. Porte filed the suit of Mary Glenn, by her next friend, Edward llalion, against Charles Glenn. They were married April 16, 18SS.

St. David's Society I Preparing for One of the rargest Musical Competitions Ever Held in Pittsburg Seventeen Prize Are Being Offered. The prospects for a successful eisteddfod on Christmas Day are flattering, and the fact that seven choirs will compete for the chief choral prize is proof positive that the contest will be exceedingly interesting. While the nature of the coming festival is of a local character.it has created more genuine enthusiasm in musical circles than any previous similar festival, ' and it promises to eclipse in number of contest ants all former festivals held under the auspices of St David's Society.

Some Interesting Facts and Figures From the New Assessments. The efforts of the County Commissioners' office in the literary line have produced a book containing a record of over 5,000 sales of realty in the city's boroughs and town ships of this county, made recently. The plot of the story is very simple, but never theless it sends a thrill up the backbones of some people whose lots are assessed at 51U0 and selling for 51,000, and of some who have lots plotted and selling at fancy figures and are at the same time assessed as agricultural lands. .Some of this property, while very valu able for building sites, is so poor, regarded from a farmer's standpoint, that you couldn't raise bricks on it without fertilizer. If borough property be pulled up in valua tion at the rate the city has been, it will not only reduce the county millage, but give needed equalization of taxation. And larm lands should not be forgotten. While some are assessed very nearly to their sell ing value, others equally as good in point of fertibility and proximity to railway stations and to market, are assessed 25 to 40 per cent lower. Some farm lands are as-, sessed at 5100 an acre and Somers & Co. say their experience shows them that there is no demand for exclusively farming land in Allegheny county at prices above that figure. PB0VIDENCE HELPS THEM. The Almighty Gives to the Farmers Wnat the State Befnses. Alex; Gilfillan, a member of the Boad Commission,said yesterday that Providence had done for the country people what Gover nor Pattison refused to let the State do and that the roads this fall" have been good. The farmers in Pennsylvania as well as other States, he stated, havo never had a better year than '91 and as a result the few Alliance organizations that were started in Allegheny counly have almost all died out Mr. Gilfillan believes this remarkable pros perity will have its effect on the Presiden tal election in 1892, and that the Bepubli cans will profit thereby. He says the effort to get road "'egislation will not be abandoned and that when the next Legislature meets the demand will be so general from the farmers that neither the Legislature nor the Governor will dare to ignore it Detailed Boutes of the Pennsylvania Bail road's Golden Gate Tours.

Hoge,- formerly an attorney at Waynesburg, but now the authorized rep resentative of the officers of the defunct Laramie Land and Cattle Company, was'in Pittsburg yesterday winding up the affairs of the company. The 17,000 acres of land owned by 'the defnnct company has been placed in charge of Mr. Hoge hy the stockholders, who purchased it at -Sheriff's sale. Some of the purchasers, however, have not paid up their share of the purchase money, and it is probable that the property will again be exposed to sale by the Sheriff. Mr. Hoge and one or two other former members of the company will, if possible, buy the west tract when it is again placed on sale. The stockholders of the defunct company got nothing in the settlement of the affairs, and John Dowlin, the ex-Collector of Internal Bevenue of this district and who was looked upon as "one of the most substantial business men in Western Pennsylvania, is working for a salary. He is managing the Dowling & Rush Cattle Company, and he is as rap idly as possibly disposing of the cattle and land owned by that company. Mr. Dowlin has become a resident of Pittsburg. His farms in Greene county comprising a vast tract of fertile land, are in the hands of strangers, and his old home stead, one of the most substantial in Greene county, " is occupied by others. Mr. Dowlin's personal and financial friends have confidence in him yet, however. FOR THANKSGIVING WEEK. A Great Sale of High Class Overcoats and Suits for Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day.
