KKWS FROM CHILI.
American Sailors Baring Anything Bat
, : a Good Time In That Country..
- Washington, Oct. .24. Secretary
Tracy said this morning that a further
study of the cipher dispatches received
from Captain Schley, of the; Baltimore,
last Thursday, in regard totfje recent
assault on American sailors at .Valpa
raiso, showed ' that in addition to the
killing of one man and the serious
wounding of six others, thirty-five
other -American seamen were arrested
and detained by the Chilian authorities
at the same time, and they were after
wards examined and dismissed, there
being no proof that they had been
guilty of any misbehavior. It also ap
pears now up to the date of Captain
Schley's report that the Chilian author
ities had : taken no steps : to arrest and
punish any Chilians responsible for the
affair.- ' , . o ,; k-y--- -
An official thoroughly familiar with
all the facts in the ' possession ' of the
government in regard to the. Valparaiso
affair, pointed out . this morning that
it- was ; altogether -'- different in its ' ma
terial features from the Italian affairs at
New Orleans. The men ' attacked wore
the uniform of United States . govern
ment,' and were attacked simply because
they were Americans.'
Secretarv Tracv had an interview
with the president this morning in re
gard to the matter, ' but refuses posi
tively to say what plan of action had
been agreed upon. It is known that the
administration regards the situation as
most; serions. While 'no other vessels
have been ordered to proceed to Chili
to enforce the demand for reparation
that will probably.' be made, it is likely
the naval force in' the Chilian water
will be', speedily reinforced, unless this
government receives a proper assurance
from the Chilian government that
proper justice willl be meted out to the
offenders. ' . ; -. .
Minister Egan has been advised of
the views of the administration, but the
exact nature of the messages sent him
cannot be ascertained.
Chinamen Starring in Vancouver.
Chicago, Oct.: 24.r-Treasury Agent
Scanlon, today says he received advices
to the effect that there are ten thousand
celestials in Vancouver and along the
line of the . Canadian Pacific Railroad,
who are., suffering, for ..want .of ...food.
Scanlon believes: the Canadian govern
ment is assisting the celestials into the
country in order to get the 50 per head
they are compelled to pay. the govern
ment. A Large Petition.
Boston, Oct; 24. A circular has been
issned from the office of the Lend-a-hand
magazine, edited by Rev. Dr. Edward
Everett Hale, in which it is stated that
a petition to the czar of Russia in re
gard to bis treatment of the Siberian
exiles has been signed by more than a
million citizens of this s uri'rv.
Continued Floods In England.
London, Oct. 24. The flooded districts
of England show no signs of improve
ment. The Thames has risen 2k,' feet
during the night. Two children were
drowned by the flood at Northampton.

A CHANCE FUR WAR.
The Chilian Goverement to be Called
. to Account.
- Washington, Oct. - 23. Interesting
international difficulties are likely to
ensue as. a result of the recent cowardly
attack on American men-of-war's-men
in the city of "Valparaiso. Captain
Schley, of the United States steamship
Baltimore, has cabled the naval depart
ment the details of the affair, from
which it appears that the attack was
both cowardly and uncalled-for. Secre
tary Tracy laid the report before the
president, and it will be considered at
the cabinet meeting today. The opinion
is prevalent that Minister Egan will be
instructed to demand immediate repara
tion and indemnity from the Chilian
government.. A correspondent reports
the president as having said : "I mean
to have no more of this business from
any nation, and the demand upon. Chili
must be immediate and peremptory."
Captain Schley informed the secretary
in his report that it has become impos
sible for American officers to go ashore
without being insulted, and that here
after they mean to go armed and to
resent insults in the proper way. "We
are losing our respect by permitting
these things," says Schley, "and the
younger officers are wild with rage, and
can't be much longer ' restrained." "I
do not want them to be further re
strained," said Secretary Tracy to one of
the commodores, "and I have told Schley
so." . Therefore any day may bring
new 8 of a serious emeute between the
Americans and the Chilian mob, insti
gated and secretly encouraged, it is be
lieved here, by persons high in authority
there. ... . , ' . : .;
Two Much Wine and Poker.
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 23. Louis S.
Wilde, teller of the St. Paul Trust Com
pany, was found by the officers of the
company this morning to be a defaulter
in the sum of $5000. He is . also largely
in debt to merchants of the city. He is
said to have been running with a fast
set lately, and a large part of the money
went for poker and wine. Wilde went
tbis regular vacation to the home of
his parents at Lockport, N. Y., early in
September, but has failed to return.
The loss falls upon the American Surety
Company, which was on Wilde's bond.
Arming Police With Rifles.'
, Berlin Oct. 23. The arming of the

Dublin, Oct. 23. Archbishop Walsh
has repudiated an interview which it
was said was held shortly after the death
of Parnell, and in which he was quoted
as referring to the dead leader in terms
disparaging. They aroused indignant
comments in many quarters where sym
pathy for the dead man was not ex
pressed. Archbishop Walsh also de
nounces the attack which was made
upon him by the Chicago Herald of Oct
ober 9, classing the statements made as
"sensational calumny." He adds:
"They attribute to me an atrocious and ,
un Christian-like sentiment that charity
should not find place at the open grave
of Parnell. I feel bound in my own de
fense and in that of the dignity of my
office to ascertain whether the American
law permits the bringing to justice of
the author or publisher of the libel."
TRYING TO GET EVEN.
William Gordon-Cumming Paying Rack
His Kaccarat Game. '
London, Oct. 23. The protest of Sir
William Gordon-Cumming against the
appropriation of money for the enter
tainment of the Duke and Duchess of
Fife at Elgin, has excited a lively row in
the Scotch burg, where the head of the
Cumming family rather outrivals Queen
Victoria in popular regard. Sir William
is considerable of a property-owner in
Elgin, and can, therefore, support his
protest by legal measures If necessary,
while the fact that neither the duke nor
the duchess are of the queen's immediate
family takes away the excuse of loyalty
for the proposed expenditure. The
Cummings, like other Scottish chieftains,
are noted for the tenacity of their hatred
and devotion, and it is believed that the
Prince of Wales will not be. together
without anxiety over this evidence of
the bitterness of his former favorite.
GERMAN PRINTERS.
They Will go out on a General Strike
for Wages Tomorrow.
Berlin, Oct. 23. Meetings of printers
employed in Breslau and ia Leipsic were
held today in those cities, and prepara
tions made for a general strike of Ger
man printers, which seems to be de
termined upon for tomorrow. At the
Breslau and Leipsic meetings the print
ers resolved to give their support to a
resolution arrived at by the printers of
this city . Yesterday this resolution was
voices by 4000 Berlin printers, who. de
cided to ask their union to order a gen
eral strike in case of the refusal of e in-.
plovers to grant them a working day of .
nine hours and an advance of 33 per
cent, in wages. It is generally admitted .
a wholesale strike of printers throughout
Germany will be immediately ordered.
They Admire our Enterprise-
London, Oct. 23. There is published
today an elaborate report of Sir Henry
Wood and James Dredge, British com
missioners,' who recently returned here
from visiting the site of the world's fair
at Chicago. The leport recommends the
erection of a liandsome building on the
site provided for the exhibit of Great
Britain, and commends the courtesy of
President Harrison and Secretary Foster
and all the exposition officials whom the
British commission met. The commis
sioners, it appears, are much impressed
with the manner in which the important
work at Chicago is undertaken, and they
say there is no doubt of the ultimate
success of the fair. ' '
. Result or the Chilian Election.
New York, Oct. 23. The Herald's
cable dispatch ' from ' Valparaiso . this
morning says that the total results of
the present elections show, that the
different parties combined under the
name of liberals have elected fifty-five
deputies, while the conservative clericals
have elected thirty-five. One dictatorial
deputy has also been elected. Promi
nent among those elected are: Carlos,
Walker, Martinez, Pedro Montt and
Ricardo L. Trumbull. The last two are
well known in the United States,: Montt
as the representative of the junta at
Washington, and Trumbull for his con
nection with the late Itata affair.
