CbTeara—A Promiscuous Attack by
an Armed Mob.
Washington, Oct 23. Seoretary Tracy
end Geu. John VV. Ft star had a ooafei-eiice
with the President this afternoon in regard
to the Valparaiso incident, and at it* close
Secretary Tracy dictatedftho following as
tba latest ofiloial information on the sub
ject: “From a dispatch received from Capt
Schley last evening, it appears that he has
made a careful investigation of the origin of
the assault on our sailors attached to the
Baltimore at Valparaiso on Oct. 16. The
investigation showed that Petty Officer
Cbarl s Riggan, while riding in n street
car. was assailed, drugged from the car
and sh t; that he was murdered in the arms
cfh is companions by about 100 men, who
were armed; that Apprentice Fred Talbot
was a-sailed aud dangerously cut several
times in the back, two of the wounds pene
trating hie lung; that Coal Heaver Ither
i>n was robbed and dangerously out
several time* iu tbo back, this as
sault being made by a out twenty
five men; that Coal Heaver Turnbull
received eighteen wounds in the back, two
of which penetrated his lungs, and that be
is iu a critical state; that Petty Officer
Hamilton was wounded several times In the
buck and other parts of the body: that Coal
Heaver Paiter and Landin.au Davidson
were dangerously injured by assaults with
clubs, stonei and knives, and that many
other men were seriously injured
by assaults; that tnlrty-five seamen were
arrested by the public authorities and
detained: that the surgeons on the Baltimore
are u anitnously of the opinion that Snue
of the wounds were inflicted by bayonets,
thus showing clearly tho participation of the
police: that the American sailors were with
out arms and defenseless; that they were
s ber and innocent of any misbehaviour ;
that two of tue seriously wounded are still
In the hospital; that in several instances
sailors of the Chilean fleet rendered assist
ance to our sailors and that in some in
stances police officers protected them.”
Secretary Tracy said that be was obliged
to paraphrase the dispatch in order to pro
tect toe department's cipher code, other
wise the dispatch would have been made
public exactly as written. He said that
turotigh some difficulty with the cipher used
in tho dispatch they were as yet unable to
ascertain wha disposition has been made of
the men arrested by the authorities. He
declined moat positively to say anything
further in regard to the matter.
NO SERIOUS OUTCOME EXPECTED.
It is im jossibla that any serious results
will follow tue incident. Among tho diffi
cult matters with which diplomacy has t>
deal is that of the amenability of a nation
for outrages resulting from mob violence.
If nothing was done by the country in which
the outrages occurred to incite tha trouble,
aud the country subsequently dealt
with the perpetrators according
to law it has been held that such occur
rences are hardly grouud for a diplomatic
rupture. The principle was thoroughly ex
pounded by Secretary Blaine in the case of
the Italians killed iu New Orleans, and
from information at hand it appears that
the Chilean government has complied with
both requirements. Iu other words, it has
not connived at the demonstration and
It has, through its magistrate, set iu motion
the machinery of law to fix the respousi
bnity and punish the perpetrators of the
attack on tha Baltimore’s sailors. So it u
probable that this government will await
the outcome of the legal inquiry now in
progress before malting any move, and that
meanwhile precautions will be adopted to
avoid any further collisions.
.MINISTER koan’s report.
Santiago de Chile, Oot. 23.— United
States Minister has received from
Capt. Schley of the United Slates scearn
ship Baltimore a full report of the recent
attack on the Baltimore’s sailors. The re
port shows the attack to have been brutal
and cowardly, and to have been made be
cause the men were Americans. Minister
"' au *dl present the matter to his gov
ernment, but will not make formal demands
tpon the Chilean government until he hears
from the state department. The Chilean
government has informed Minister Egan
'cat safe conduct will not be issued for
refugees now in the United States legation,
the supposed ground for this refusal is that
e men are criminals. Minister Egan con
tuses to demand safe conduct for the men.
Tbe question now appears far from settle
ment.

Washington, Oct. 23 —A. L. Conger.
Senator Quay’s closest friend on the repub
lican national committee, upon which he
representa Ohio, his precipitated the finan
cial ruin of Pension Commissioner Raum
by bri king into court the unpaid notes
which Commissioner Raum gave for $3,5u0,
which he borrowed from him. Ail Com
imsdoner Raum's other creditors immedi
ately took proceeding- against him, aud the
circuit court for the District of Columbia
has just ordered his bouse aud other real
estate sold to satisfy his creditors. Com
missioner Raum’s piignt Is so well known
and so mu h pitied that it may keep him
longer in office than he would otherwise
have stayed, the $0,060 salary being es
pecially necessary just now. Mr. Conger
exorcises what Commissioner Rauut's
friends call persecution for political pur
poses, Mr. Conger being a strong anti-Har

his administration by saying that he tent

Washington, Oot. 23.—The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius now at New London,
Conn., has been ordered to Washington for
the purpose of conveying the President, the
Secretary of the Navy and other officials to
Indian Head, on the Potomac, to
w ituoss tho testing of armor plate for naval
vessels. The exact date of the tests has not
yet been fixed, but as the Vesuvius is
ordered to bo in Wasbington not later than
Oct. 28, it is expected that they will be
made aoout that iirae. The Dispatch was
on her way to perform this service when
wrecked on Assateague shoals.

and ictments against the officers and directors
oi the Louisiana lottery. The evidenoe was
all laid before the jury in tho
form of affidavits, and was kept

CHEAP LABOR IN THE M.NES.
Elvina and Negroes Taken Into the
Pennsylvania Goal Fields.
Pittsburg, Pa., Oot. 23. —A special from
Monongahela City, P.. says: “The influx of
Huns aud negroes from tbe south and east
continues steadily, nud the miners are
thoroughly alarmed over the prospect. AU
along the Baltimore and Ohio railroad they
have been brought to the mines, exceD. be
tween tho Finley villa and Snowden mines,
sometimes merely a handful, and again in
large numbers, in the first pool mines the
greater number of them have been taken.
At iVailrock there are from sixty
to 100 of them, while at
Cook & Sodb' mines at Cook
station, on the Charliers division of the Pun
Handle, there are a number of negroes, A
riot is feared when they are placed in the
pits. There have beeu no more breaks in
the strikers’ ranks since the men iu the
Scott mine No. 2, at West Newton, returned
to work. The officers of the associations
have them well in hand ai.d have lestored
the confidence of the men, which wavered
on the receipt of the tidings that Huus were
on their way here."
CLINGING TO THS RIGGING.
Perilous Position of a Crew on a
Schooner sunt Off Chatham.
Citatham, Mass., Oct. 23.—A small
schooner is supposed to have sunk north of
Pollock Kip shoal. It cleared at sunset,
showing tbs crew clinging to the rigging of
a three masted schooner sunk near the Shov
elful shoal. They have probably been nearly
twenty-four hours exposed to the fury of
the storm, and as no help cau reach them
before morning ie it feared they will perish
to-nighr. The ehip Wandering Jew, which
the tug Colby took from Boston yesterday,
probably parted her hawser last night and
was blown out to sea. Another three
masted schooner is ashore three
miles south of Shovelful lightship, having
lost her bowsprit and all her spars except
toe stumps of her lower masts. She has
probably been in collision. Fifteen schoon
ers were sighted at anchor north vest of the
Handkerchief at sunset. The gale has been
very severe and probably there will be other
disasters reported hereabouts to-morrow.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24,1891.
GLADSTONE’S NEW BILL.
IT IS READY TO BE MADE PUBLIC
• AT A MOMENT’:) NOTICE
Earl Spencer, Mr. Morley and 3!r
William Vernon Harc.urt Aided In
Shaping Its Political Features—Lord
Kerschell Looked After Its Legal
Form— ihe New Leader of the Par
nellites.
(Copyright, 1891, Ifu tho .V. V. Associated Prea. )
London, Oot. 23.— Mr. Gladstone has re
vised his heme rule bill. Matured during a
long period of consideration by himself and
discussed iu detail by probable colleagues
iof tho next liberal ministry, the measure
| has now assumed suoh definite form as to
enable Mr. Gladstone at any moment to
place it before the country. Earl Spencer,
M. Morley aud Sir William Vernon
Harccurt have aided him iu shaping the
political features, while L <rd Herschell
especially attended to the legal and consti
tutb nal form of the scheme. Lord Rose
bery, though continually advised os to the
progress of the bill, tacitly declined to assist
or interfere until recently, when he was in
formed that he must define his attitude to
ward the project of the liberal leaders. Ee
then assented to a conference on the matter.
Rosebery's adhesion obtained.
Sir William Vernon Karcuiirt and Mr.
M rley accordingly visited Lord Rosebery
at Meutmore this wee* and obtained his
adhesion to the project. Had he refused his
assistance the services of some other persons
must have been obtained to lead tho party
iu tha House of Lords. As to what time the
schema in detail would be di
vulged depends upon the futo and char
acter of the governments Irish local
government measure; but the fuot that the
scheme has been perfected ad is expected
to be announced by Mr. Moriey next w-all
would deprive the unioni-ts of their stock
argument that Mr. Gladstone has no deft
idle idea of what the . 11l would be, and
that bis colleagues throughout the oountrv,
relymg upon him, would take a leap in the
dark.
READY FOR PUBLICATION.
If dissolution came now, the measure
would be published with such completeness
as would leave the conservatives no chance
to Buy that the country had been deceived
on an important point. Wnen thegeue a!
election does come the issue will be fought
ou definitely declared homo ruie lines. If
the popular vote places Mr. Gladstone iu
power, the course adopted will paralyse the
opp sitlon. The House of Lords will not dare
to reject the bill ou the ground that the
vote of the electorate hud uot been especial
ly taken thereon. Regarding the principles
of the new measure, enough has been ascer
tained to enable one to state that it gives
the proposed Irish legislature more than tho
bill of 1885. It retains the lower and upper
houses of the Irish parliament, and the ap
pointment of the judiciary in the Irish
executive, and maintains larger representa
tion of Ireland in the imperial parliament.
The complete question of the financial rela
tions aud control of police are also settled.
REDMOND’S LEADERSHIP.
Now that John Redmond is the acknowl
edged leader of the Parnellites, oniy the
McCarthyite partisans decry the part,-.
Impartial observers of John Redmond con
cur in testifying to his ability and modesty
of character. In these respects he ought not
to be confounded w ith bis showier brother,
William, who is always ready to push to
the front. Mr. Parnell selected John Red
mond as one having qualities
kindred to his own. He is stolid
and thoughtful, with a gravity and reti
cence of manner fitting him for the confi
dence of the party leaders and now bring
ing him the confidence of the party. He is
a good platform speaker and an atile parlia
mentary debater. It 13 not probable, how
ever, that 1 e will develoo qualities equal to
sustaining the life of his faction against
such tremendous odds.
GAME OF THE M’CARTHYITES.
The present game of the McCarthvites is
an attempt to blight the budding influence
of John Redmond by branding him as a
traitor to Mr. Parnell. Mr. Dillon, in bis
speech at Wexford, aimed to uutna k Mr.
liedmo .and. He said it was notorious that
Mr. Redmond was about to desert Mr. Par
nsll just before the iatter was stricken
down, and had refused to accompany his
eader to speak tit Listowell and Croagh.
It filled him (Dillon) with disgust to see such
a man deserting tha cause because he saw
it going down hill. Men now talking of
desertion from Mr. Parnell were hiding in
holia and corners in Dublin when Mr. Par
nell went to Creagh, where he contracted
his fatal illness. Toere woo not one of them
who would go and staud by bis side. Thus
spoke Mr. Dillon. Black assertions of this
kind, however, fail to touch the reliance of
the party in Mr. Redmond, who knew that
Mr. Parnell trusted him to the lost. The
selection of Mr. Flaven to oppose John Red
mond in Cork increases the hopes of the
La radii ites. Mr. Flaxen, who is a mao of
good repute and town councillor, relies
mainly on the support of tue priests,
but a number of municipal officials
aud the mans of the citizens are
against him. The supporters of Mr. Red
mond are making a vigorous house-to-house
canvass, and they declare themselves confi
de it of victory. They have no lack of
funds, part of the money coming from
America.
UNITY RESTS WITH DAVITT.
The Anal hope of the restoration of party
unity rests with Michael Davitt. If he re
frains from throwing his whole iuflueuce
on the side of the McCarthyite? and uses his
personal power in a uuiet policy of concilia
tion, he will in time reconstitute the
Irish partv. If ho assents to
contest Kilkenny, thus throwing
the gage of battle to tno Parneliires, the
feud will be eternal. When interviewed
to-day he talked as if he was entirely com
mitted to the majority.
THE NEW IRISH SECRETARY.
William La wiles Jackson, whose ap
pointment as Irish secretary is definitely
announced, has a reputation among the
treasury officials of being a good business
mau without any bias toward b.s own
ideas, if he had any, and a ready and pliant
Instrument of Becre:ary Balfour and Lord
Salisbury, with n shrewd eye on the
maiu chance. Trained as a Wes
leyan, he joined the church of Eng
land and has been conspicuous ou
church platforms. He works! ids father's
busmens in I.sedt out of bankruptcy, (laying
all of the creditors. He graduated from
the Leeds town council to parMamonr,
where his hush e s aptitude soon made him
the co eervative minis: er's maid of
all work. Secretary Balfour's friends say
that Mr. Jackson's apooiutmeut will enable
biin to obtain sums leisure, Baskins having
a fondn-as for philosophical studies, (Secre

New Orleans, La., Oot. 23.— 1n an in

Cashier Eugene F. Gircla’s defalcation, he
said: “Eugene F. Garcia, paying toller of

while they only contained #SOO and $1,250.
Complaint to this effect was made to the

was from old payments,errors and mistakes
committed by him withiu the last fifteen
years. The cash in the bank was examined
and the shortage disc vored. Tue loss of a
large amount has been carried to profit and
loss and still the capital of $500,00.) aud the

“Do you think that any deposits will be

‘‘i do not. If anything of that kind
s lould occur I am auihoriztd as president
of the clearing house to say that every dol

the is'i. is an exceedingly strong one, and
It is able to meet the requirements for its
deposits as will be seeu by a statement pub

No arr-.su have been made and none are
probable.
Garcia was arrested to-uight upon an
affidavit made by United States Commis

ENGLAND AND THE FAIR.
A F:\VOR\BLE REPORT BY THE
BH.TISH COMMI - SIONBRS.
The Erection of a HancUome Building
on the site Reserved for Great
Britain Recommended—A Flattering
Report on the Ds gna fir the Maia
Buildings—Transportation Facilities.
London, Oct. 38.—There was published
to-day ait elaborate report of Sir Henry
Wo >d aud James Dredge, the British com
missioners who recently returned to this
city after visiting Chicago aud makiug in
quiries iu regard to the steps which Great
Britain Could and might take in making a
sji'able exhibit at the Columbian fair of
1893. The reports consist of fifteen printed
pages, to which Is attached au appendix and
several maps. Among other things the
report recommends the erection of
a handsome building on the site provided
for Great Britain and says that it is certain
that the juries intrusted with tho task of
making awards will be international in ail
groups contaiuing foreign exhibits. The
report also commends the courtesy of Pres*
ideut Harrison and Secretary Foster and of
ail the exposition officials whom the British
con tmssiouers met and who, they say,
grated all the requests made on behalf of
Great Britain.
DESIGNS FOR TIIS FAIR.
Referring to the designs for the fair the
commissioners remark : “Bo far as wo
could judge great skill and boldness charac
terize the general engineering designs,
which have all been prepared by the con
struction department.” Touching upon
the question of decoration they state that
”.t Is gratifying to record tnat the im
portant work of decoratl n Is controlled bv
au Engli .huian, Mr. l’eymaii.”
As to local transportation the report
asserts: “There is i.o doubt that the problem
involving the transportation of passengers
from the city (Chicago) to the exhibition
will be successfully solved. The question
of railways within the grounds is a very
serious one. The auth Titles have made
many arrangements in this direction, but it
will lie difficult to provide too liberally for
the easy circulation of visitors withiu the
vast Inol sure."
COMMITTEES TO BB APPOINTED.
The royal commission decided to appoint
committees to attend to finance, fine aruQ

(Copyright , 1891, by the -V. Y. Associated Press.)
Iu an interview to-day, Mr. Dredge, one
of the commissioners, said that since his re
turn from Chicago he had mot encouraging
indications of increasing interest on the
P irt of English manufacturers in the fair.
3 me eminent E gli-h builders intimate
their intention to so .id large exhibits.
The book collector. Mr. Quaritch, pro
poses to send to tue fair au auiograph letter
of Christopher Columbus, for which he
paid £I,OOO a few mouths ago.
“An idea has prevailed,” raid Mr. D red go,
“that the principal feature of the fair will
be the mere size ot the buildings, with lack
of architectural beauty. That idea is uow
dispelled a id the tact is recognizai that the
architecture will be the fiued the world lias
ever seen at such un exhi itiou. The En
glish commission will issue 10,009 circulars
to be sent throughout Great Britain aud
Ireland inviting exhibits.”

conclusively that iu many places specu
lators get extortionate prices. Tbe corn
merchants and village kootaks, or usurers,
are charged with responsibility for tne ex
tortion. A Samara paper declares that the
Jews are angola compared with the
koolalcs, who are m the hab:t
of reducing those in their powor to
the lowest stage of poverty. In
dictments showing the terrible dis
tress of the people continue to be
recorded. A poor womau of itatobiuo, ou
returning borne from a neighboring village,
whither s e had gone to try to purcha o
food, found all her children deal,
and a poet-mortam examination
being made, their stomachs were
found filled with rags and earth. Many

of Kazan has died of hunger or disease.

QOV. NORTHEN IN A BOX.
Publication of the Direct Tax Claim
ents a big Undertaking.
Atlanta, Oa., Oot. 28. — Qov. Nortben
will probably be put la an einbarrasing
position by the bill passed by the recent
legislature providing for the refunding of
the direct tux. Under the law he ie directed
to publib once a week for two months in
each of the five comities wnmrt the money it
to be distributed, tbe names of the parties
from whom it was collected and to whom It
is no v payable. Thera are at the least
calculation 12,000 of these parties, and, wiln
tbe amount due each auti a description of
the laud upon which tbe tax was levied by
the federal government in ISOfi, it will make
a voluminous subject mutter.
A COSTLY UNDERTAKING.
To publish It In the newspapers, at the
bill provides, will be a heavy expanse, to
rniHrt which, however, the legislature made
no provision. Wmle the governor has not
so declared, it Is behoved that he will con
sider it expedient to draw ou t e contingent
fu id for this purpose, and will, therefore,
probably decline to < rd*r tbe publication of
the name?, etc., as direc.ed by the hi!L
Gov. Nortben has exp eased the opinion
that at any event it would be doubtful wis
dom to publish the names of all these
parties, at. that would be pritna facie evi
dence that such claims were valid without
further substantial! >u.
Another natter that Is troubling the ex
ecutive department is tbe | easiun business.

heavy wore ou the pension roll, the depart
ment is required to furni-b lists of the ap
plicants to the clerks of the superior court
of each of the 137 counties by Jau. 1,
