Valparaiso, Not. 12.—The congress
which was elected last month has convened
and it is expected that the controversies
which have arisen between Chile and the
United State3 will be laid before that body
soon. There wag considerable excitement
here two weeks ago on account of tho official
corns Dor.dunce between the United
States and the junta government upon
the recent attack upon the sailors
of the United State* cruiser Baltimore In
Valparaiso. But the officers of the Chileau
government have stated that that affair
aud also the question of the disposal of the
refugees now in the Amerioan legation at
Santiago would be referred to tho oongress
for settlement, and it Is expected that
action will be taken upon these matters
soon.
THE FEELING STILL INIMICAL.
There is no change, however, in the atti
tude which Is displayed here toward the
Baltimore, or in the attitude of the Chileau
pir lie toward Americans in general. The
officers of the Baltimore come ashore only
during the day, aud the members
of the crew do not come
ashore at any time. The officers
and crews of other foreign men of-war are
allowed liberty of the port at all times.
Capt. Schley is unwilling to subject his
crew to the possibility of another attack,
and consequently the men are confined to
the vessel. The captain visited tho inten
dente recently and informed him that he
desired to send his market boats ashor
early in the morning to obtain provisions.
This a custom which is followed by all the
men-cf-war in pert, as provisions can be
obtained then better than later in the day.
REFUSED POLICE PROTECTION.
Early in the morning the landing pier is
crowded with boatmen, longshoreman and
rough characters who infest the saloons
along tho water front, and Capt. Bchley
requested the iuteudente to give him
some promise or guarantee of
police protection to bis market boats, and
also to his officers who might desire to come
ashore at nigh’. The intendento declined
to do so, nnd elr.oe then the Baltimore has
been supplied with provisions by boats
from shore, which go out to the cruiser a
mile from the lauding pier.
THE ATTACK ON TURNBULL.
There is now living on the Baltimore a
I) . Stanley, a British subject, who has
lived in Chile for some years. He was a
witness to the attack upon Turnbull, the
Baltimore sailor, who received twenty knife
wounds in the affray last month and after
ward died of his injuries. Dr. Stanley do
fended the man as well ns ho was
able and afterward took him to the
hospital and cared for him. It was known
that hi* testimony would be damaging in
this cose, aud abcut a week after the affair
occurred lie wus assaulted at V’ina del Mar
and arrested. Efforts were made to pre
vent his testimony being taken, but when
he was relea'ed from prison he went aboard
tho Baltimore for protection and has
remained there since. The members of
the crew of the Baltimore have
subscribed nearly SSOO in gold, and pur
chased a monument to place over the graves
of Heggins aud Turnbull, their two com
rades, who were killed last month. The
monument has been suitably inscribed, aud
will be placed in position in a few days.
ANOTHER CASK OF CRUELTY.
Anotner case of cruelty to American sea
men ceourred here recently, ad has
attracted some attention. The American
steamer Keweenaw, from New York for
San Francisco, stopped here for repairs a
month eg >. One of the crew, a sailor
named Patrick Shields, was arrested
in Valparaiso for drunkenness. The
man admits that ho was intoxicated,
but he says he was given
no hearing at all, and was refused permis
sion to communicate with his captain or
consul. He was kept at work cleaning the
streets for more than a week, and was
brutally beaten by the police. When be
was released he was scarcely able to walk.
His back and arms were a mass of bruises,
and according to the statement of a navy
surgeon who examined him, he received
severe internal injuries which will prevent
him from working lor several months.
Consul McCreary took the man to the in
tondente to show him his injuries, but the
inteudente declined to examine him, though
he promised that he would investigate the
matter. The local authorities have reached
Ro conclusion in the case yet.

NEX T YEAR'S APPROPRIATIONS.
A Comparative Statement for the Two
Houses of Congress.
IV ashington , Doc. 12.—A comparative
statement of the estimates of the appropri
ations needed for the next fiscal year with
the estimates and appropriations for the
current fiscal year, have been prepared by
.Vussrs. Courti aud Cleves, respective clerks
to the House and rienato committees on ap-
I propriattons. This statement shows an ex
cess in tho estimates of regular appro
priations for the fiscal year, begin
| mug July 1. 1592, of $9,522,852,
i M compared with the estimates a vuar ago,
for the current fiscal year. Similar esti
mates of the permanent annual appropria
tions show a reduction of $622,928. These
appropriations for the current fiscal year
(exolusive of the deficiency appropriations
of $38,699,746, of which $29,335,598 was
on account of pensions and of miscel
laneous appropriation* amounting to
$4,271,531) were $482,047.394,w bich is $7,884,-
649 less than the amuunt estimated as nec
essary to be appropriated for tho next fiscal
year. These estimate* and appropriations
do not inoluda rivers and harbors, on which
the chief engineers report that $58,064,950
can be profitably expended durlug the
year.
HOW THE OOMPARISON SHOWS UP.
A comparison of the estimates for the
next fiscal year with the estimates of a year
ago, according to the several heads under
which the appropriations are made, is as
follows: Agricultural, $3,360,995 for the
next fiscal year, an increase $548,992,
though only $332,842 in excess of the cur
rent year’s appropriations, due to the fact
that after last year’s estimates were sub
mitted, $889,758 heretofore appropriated for
the wur department was added to the agri

(the appropriations for the current year,
however, exceeding last year’s estimate by
$7,752,377 on account of tue

CRIcP’S COMMITTEES.
Tho Speaker Don’t Expect to Complete
Them Before the Recess.
Washington, Deo. 12.—Speaker Crisp this
afternoon said that he was afraid he could
not complete the organization of the com
mittees before the Christmas recess, though
some of his friends think the work can be
done in a few days after he gets started on
the actual work of framing them.
NOT going away.
Speaker Crisp said this evening that it
was a mistake to suppose that he was going
away to some quiet and unknown spot to
deliberate on the committees. He would
stay here until the Christmas recess, when
he would go home for his wife. Nothing
lias been decided about the chairmanship of
tho ways and means committee. He hus
not heard from Mr. Mills, or from any one
authorized to speak fur him, whether he
would accept if it was offered to him. It
is evident that this question must be settled
in the speaker’s mind before he can settle
the question of mnkiug the tender,
but it seems likely that the
tender will be made to Mr. Mills and ac
cepted, and that Mr. Springer will be put
second and succeed Mr. Mills when tho lat
ter goes to the Senate in the spring, as
everybody here expects him to do. The de
olinatlon of Mr. Korney makes it certain
that Mr. Holman will be ohairman of the
committee on appropriations. His commit
tee will not, however, get back all the scat
tered appropriation bills. The Influence of
the members likely to have those independ
ent appropriation bills has been too strong
for Mr. Holman. He will, however, secure
caucus action which will keep down the ap
propriations all around. The resignation
of Mr. Culbartion leaves the speaker com
paratively free to appoint a northern man
ohairman of the judiciary eommittoe.Uiougb
Mr. Oats of Alabama, who stood second on
the democratic list, came to see Mr. Crisp
promptly this evening about it.

The Republican Caucus Committee
Completes Its Work.
Washington, Deo. 12.—The Senato re
publican oauous committee has been at
work all tho afternoon engaged in the work
of rearranging the committee membership,
and the task is at last praotieally com
pleted with the exception of a few minor
plaoes. It is probable that the caucus will
i be called to meet Monday to receive the re
port of the oominittee.
Becretary Foster Still Weak.
Washington, Dec. 12,-Secrstary Foster
is reported better and stronger to-day than
at any time since he was token sick. He is

several weeks.

Washington, Dea 12.—1 t is understood
that Representative Culberson of Texas has
accepted the position of interstate com ”
merce commissioner, and that his name will
be sent to the Senate Monday.
SAVANNAH, GA„ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13,1891—SIXTEEN PAGES.
STRIKING MIXERS SHOT.
THEY WERE IN A MOB THAT FIRED
ON A SHERIFF’3 POSSE.
Five Italians ar.d Two Austrians
Fatally Wounded—The Posse In
trenched Behind Redoubts at the
Mine—The Miners in an Ugly Mood
For Some Time Past.
Denver, Col., Dec. 12.—The strike cf
the miners at the mines of the Colorado
Coal aud Iron Company at Crested Butte
has resulted much more seriously than was
at first anticipated, and there are yet in
dications of further bloodshed before the
matter is settled. About two weeks ago
500 Austrian and Italian miners employed at
these works went out on a strike because of
a proposed reduction of wages announced
by the company. Since the men
went out they have been very
URly, refusing to allow the
company to bring in new men, have stopped
the pumi sand fans at work, allowing them
to fill with gas until there is danger of the
mines blowing up, and have paraded the
streets heavily armed, threatening death to
any one who should attempt to assist the
oompany in any manner,
SEVEN FATALLY WOUNDED.
Y'esterday Sheriff Shares of Gunnison ar
rived there with a posse of twenty-five men
for tho purpose of taking possession and
guarding the mines. No soouer had the
sheriff aud his men alighted from the
traiu than they were attacked
by about 200 armed Sicilians end
Austrians, who began firing with their
Winchester rifles. The officer held his men
for a moment aud then ordered them to re
turn the fire, which they did, fatally
wounding Mise Copuioine, Mike Mionel
lon, Mike Guerolo, Mike Warn and
John Poohe, Italians, aud George Simonoi
and Matt urahak, Austrians. After the
flriDg the miners retreatod and the sheriff’s
posse marched up the bill and took posses
sion of the mine* and threw up redoubts.
The miners are swearing revenge upon
every friend of tho coal com; any,
and the town of Crested
Butte is upon the verge of
a riot. Further trouble is foarpd to-night,
which if started will result in many deaths.
The governor has oalled out the state
militia, and troops are now at the armory
ready to start for the scene by special train
at a moment’s notice.
NORCROSS THE BOMBTHROWEH.
Hia Parents Now Fully Convinced of
His Identity.
Boston, Mass.. Dec. 12.—The father and
mother of Henry L. Norcrosi are now fully
convinced that their son was the man whose
Insane act lu the office of Ruwell .Sage re
sulted in his own death. Additional evl
denoo was offered them tnia forenoon which
removes all doubt from their minds. As
soon as they have sufficiently recovered
from the shock of their son’s terrible death
they will go to New York and bring baok
the remains for suitable burial.
A LETTER TO HIS PARENTS.
It was ascertained to-night that during
the visit of Nurcross’ father to bis son’s
office to-day a letter was found lu his desk
addressed to his mother, which it believed
to have furnished convincing proof to his
parents that he was the bomb-thrower. It
is said, howevor, that in the letter
young Nororuss informed his mother tbat
he was going away on Thursday on im
portant business, that if successful he should
return Saturday, but if unsuccessful he
might never return. Tho parents probably
know now as much about their son’s actions
in this matter as ever will be known.
THE HEAD REPORTED IDENTIFIED.
New York, Dec. 12. — Reports were pub
lished this morning that the bead of the
man whoexploded the dynamite bomb in
Russell .Sage’s office bad been identified as
that of Henry L. Norcross of .Somerville,
Mass. It is stated that a friend of his vis
ited the morgue and identified the head as
that of Norcross. Inspector Byrnes, who
lias charge of the official work of endeavor
ing to find out who the bombthrower was,
said to-day he had no knowledge that the
head had been identified.
HOLD YOUR WHEAT.
Another Clroular Sent to tho Farmers
of the West.
St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 12.—The alliance
organ, the State, is out this week with an
other “hold-your-whsat” circular, and pre
sents the usual array of figures to show that
tho farmer will profit by following the ad
vice laid down therein. It holds that Rus
sia is entirely out of the race,
and India praotieally so, and that the
present and future deliveries from
farmers will fill but a small por
tion of the requirements. It does not
advise the farmers to create an unnecessary
scarcity or to repudiate his debts, but to
sell only what be is obliged to when the
reoeipts are large and increasing, and when
they are on the deoliue to sell only certain
portions eaoh mouth. Taking all things
into account the author of the circular
claims that if tho farmer does not get
twice what he is now offered ior his wheat
it is his awn fault.
QUAY TAKEN ILL.
The Attack Very Sudden, but Hia Oon
dlt on Not Dangerous.
Pittsburg. Pa., Deo. 12.—Senator Quay
was token suddenly ill this morning at the
house of United States Marshal Harr ah at
Beaver, and was unable to attend the poli
tical conference arranged to be held here
to-day. The senator’s family is not home
and he has been taking bis meals at the
home of United States Marshal Harrah
since his return from Washington. This
morning he ate a light breakfast and then
pnt on his overcoat to come to Pittsburg.
He was about to leave Mr. Harrah’s bouse
when he was seized with a sudden illness
which grew worse rapidly and prevented
his visit to tho city. Reports from Beaver
to-night are that the senator’s condition was
not serious aud that he will be all right by
Monday. • •
AN ILLYGAL GRAND JURY.
The State Supreme Court Decides the
Point,
Ban Francisco, Cal., Dea 12.— The
state surrome court, by five justices against
two, decided to-day tbat tho present grand
jury of tho city and county of
baa Franoisoo is an illegal body.
The question came before the supreme
court ou an application of
ex-Assemblymaa Elwood Bruner for
a writ of prohibition to
restrain Superior Judge Wallace from pro
ceeding against him under indictments
found by the grand jury, charging Bruner
with malfeasance in office. Chief Justice
Beatty concurred in the opinion that the
grad jury had no legal powers, but
tnought the writ of prohibition not the
proper way to bring tho mattor before the
supreme court.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS.
A Lively Fight to Cut Them Off From
Public Sobool Funds.
Stillwater, Minn., Dec. 12.—The pa
rochial public school row is to be pushed to
a ooneiusion at once. The whole commun
ity is worked up over the matter. The
Pr teatants fear being driven to the wall
bv the Roman hierarchy, Ths Protestants
claim that tbs foreign system is not whole
some to Americans. Monday morning a
delegation of Protestant ministers will call
on N. Z. Clapp, president of the city school
board, aud ask that a oontract me king the
parochial school part of tho public school
system be annulled ou the ground that it is
illegal.
AN INJUNCTION TO BE OBTAINED.
If the board pays no attention to this re
quest au injunction will be served on the
board. If no results are obtainable from
this a delegation of citizens will refuse to
pay taxes on the ground that the uionev is
not speut for the purpose for which it was
levied. It is understood that the
local Catholics are unable to take
any action in the matter, because
it has gone out of their bauds to the pope.
The move to prevent tho parochial sahoola
from sharing in the public school money is
based on a charge tnat the cor, tract between
the parochial authorities and city school
board, providing that no religious I’loctriue
shall be taught in the schools between the
hours of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m., is being
openly violated,as the Catholic catechism is
taught between 1 and 1:30 p. in.

from Knoxville, Tenn., says: "Last May
one Dr. J. L. Young was arrested here

and he knows the fact that the Senate is

EUROPE’S NEW TREATIES
THE CHANCELLOR RUBBING THEM
THROUGH THE REICH3TAO.
The Minority too Hmall to Offer Any
Effective Resistance and the Gov

Way With a Highhanded Bluff.
Other News of the Fatherland.
(Oop fright, 1691, by the X Y. Associated iVtss.)
Berlin, Dec. 12. —The treatne of com
merce are now prnctloally passed In princi
ple and detail by the almost unanimous
voice of the Reichstag. A minority drawn
from the uitra-oonsorvatlves aud members
of ibi Keiohs party, who opposed
the proposed measures, found them
selves too feeble either to divide on
the first reading or to try to cause delay by
by referring the trestles to a committee.
Chancellor von Caprlvi finding, as the de
bate proceeded, tbat only an insignificant
fraction of the House was opposed to tho
government, caused it to become known to
the member* tbat be would brook no dally
ing committee and that the details of the
treaties would be in no way nidified. Tho
proposals, be let it be understood, must be
acoepted strictly a* they wero set forth in
the oouvention*. Telegram* from Vleuna
were circulated among the members of the
Reichstag during the long debate in that
body t -day, announcing that the Hun
garian miniaier of commerce bad declared
that the treaties formed a complete transac
tion, from which oil modifications
were concluded. In lauguago of complacent
acceptance, Herr Banger, sooialist; I’rince
Von Hatzfeldt and Baron Manteuffei, con
servatives; Herr Ochelhauser, national
liberal; Herr Ricker t, froissinnige; Herr
Oerterer, centenst, and Herr Decken
Guelph supported tho treaties. Herr von
Muehrm declared that no roferenoe to the
committee was necessary and urged that the
treaties be not referred.
BPEKen OF THE CHANCELLOR.
The chancellor dwelt open the necessity
of ;>assitig the treaties before Christmas.
The result of their operation*, he declared
would soon Bhow that no preference hud
been given to other industries over that of
the agricuilurist. He, with great diffi
culty, keptoorn duties ashigh a*3>{ marks.
Chancellor vou Caprivi concluded
his address by announcing tbat
the government with a view of meet
ing the dearth of labor in
the rural districts, was preparing amend
ments to tho laws relative to tho main
tenance and housing of rural laborers, aud
that a bill embodying these amendments
would bo introduced during the prosent ses
sion of She Rsichetag. Upon the ooneiusion
of the ohanoellor’e speech, which closed a
debate of six hours’ duration, the Relobstog

THE CHANCELLOR AH AN ORATOR.
The chunoellor by his address greatly en
hanced his reputation a* a masterly
speaker, displaying great lucidity of state
ment and quicksess in response and dealing
effectively with overy argument which the
opposition put forward. The Freissinniye
Zeituny says he Is by far the finest debater
of the government.

NO EFFECT ON BUSINESS.
On the bourse the opinion is general that
the conventions will nave little effect upon
the geueral aspect of business for a long
time to come. The term zollverein, as ap
plied to the treaties, is considered a thor
ough milnomer. Each of the five state*
oo .trading, while making some concessions,
retains a string of heavy duties against
the others. The value of the measures
can only lie shown by time. The
new tariffs, when announced, hardly caused
a monetary throb on the Bourse. In Vi
enna, however, the case wasdifferent. The
prospect of an increase In various traffics
under the new tariffs led to large buying
of railway securities, nnd gave a general
impetus to business, which extended to bank
and raining shares. This rise wiped out
the lest traces of the decline which has
prevailed since tho reoont panic.
EIBMARCK’S COMPLAINT.
In the course of a recent Interview with
the editor of the Lubeck Hisenbahn
Zeituny Prince Bismarck accused the gov
ernment of hurrying the treaties through.
The prince would not take part iu the de
bate)* because the members of the Reichstag,
he declared, had not been given sufficient
time to study the proposals. Referring to
the inscription “supreme lex regia volun
tas.” placed in the golden book of Munich
by Emperor W illiam, and to other recent
autooratic utterances of his majesty,
Prince Bismarck said he bad never
been a supporter of absolutism
and expressed regret that the emperor had
made use of such expressions. Referring
to the subject of his resignation, the prince
ssid be declared at the time that Gen. von
Caprivi would be his successor, and that ho
himself recommended the present chancel
lor to the emperor for appointment.
WAR ON OUR PORK. .
