sentiment - .rather iiyleboles - joined.

A Railroad Wreck Near Bryant, Ind.
Caused by Improper Signals-En-.
gineer and Fireman Killed.
-
Londox, Aujl-i-Balfonr, chief sec
retary of Ireland,' in a speech delivewd
at - Plymouth yesterday, , outlined.-'his
ideas of .Irish local government.' He
was aware that many members of the
conservative partydisliked the proposal,
but he argued there were--two reasons
why local government should not be
withheld from Ireland. The first, from
sentiment alone, because it had already
been given England and Scotland, and
second, because a local government had
been repeatedly promised Ireland. The
police question,- Balfour continued,
caused alarm, but he would never con
sent' to the decent realization of the
force by handing over local jKlice either
to counselor or councils in association
With the grand jury. He further believed
there would be no serious' attempt by
counties to secure control of so costly a
force. He was compelled" to admit
he feared the first result of the change
would lie to oust landlords from sharing
in the government but he trusted and
believed as the political storm subsided
and as the effects of the land purchase
measure felt by these gentlemen if they
remained,' would be largely recognized
and elected as the best men to carry on
the county business, and thus reconcile
the places which have been ,too much
and too long separated.

THE AFFAIlt IN CHILI.
Conspiracy Discovered to Itlow up
' Balmaceda's New Vessels.
London, Aug. 10. Startling informa
tion is in possession of the Chilian lega
tion in referenre to a conspinicy to des
troy the two Chilian iron clads Presi
dente Pinto and Errazuriz. It appears
that the sum of 3000 was offered to an
English maritime officer in the service
of the Chilian government, if he would
undertake to blow up the Errazuriz.
He refused the offer with indignation.
While the vessel was in the harlor of
Lisbon suspicious boats were seen ap
proaching on several occasions at night,
but the careful lookout on the vessel
kept them at bay. There was no doubt
a purpose to explode the vessel at Lis
bon. While the Presidente Pinto was at
Toulon ' a party of men attempted to
join the crew. They looked so unlike
ordinary sailors, two of them 1eing un
able to conceal their refinement of man
ner, that suspicion- was aroused and the .
commander concluded to reject them,
although in need, of men. Proof after
ward came to his knowledge' that the
men bad been engaged to siuk the ship.
There is also reason to believe that the
running aground at Toulon was owing to
treachery. The-commander was so con
vinced of this that he sent a report to
that effect to Paris. The Errazuriz is
already safe at sea, and it its understood
that tne Pinto will soon follow, and that
their arrival in Chili will ont an end lo
the revolution. -
EFFECT OF THE RAIN.
Very Little Damage Done Except to the
- Berries Prospect for Hops.
Salem, Aug. 9. Articles of incorpora-
tion were filed with the secretary of state '
today by the Butte Creek, Land, Live
Stock and Lumber company, of Fossil.
Incorporators: W. L. McKenzie, Charles
McKenzie and H. H. Hendricks; capi
tal stock, $50,000.
The rain being over and the sun shin
ing out bright and warm today, harvest
ers and machines 'started up in many
wheat fields. The late rains have done
but little damage to the wheat crops, the
only injury being in a slight discolora
tion of tne berries. With no more rain
the threshers will all be humming next
week. '
: Hop growers calculate to be able to har
vest two-thirds of a crop of hops, iu spite
of the lice. There are. not over 100 bales -of
old hops in this vicinity. Offers are ,
made to contract for new hops at 1
cents. -'.,. . ' .
THE DEMOCRACY.
Cleveland to be Shelved and Whitney
Blade the Standard-Bearer.
Saratoga, Aug. 9. The result of the

tempt to succeed himself as senator;
that a nnion of the forces has been made
upon Roswell P. Flower as the demo
cratic nominee for governor ; that Grover
Cleveland is to be shelved and that the
