Very tittle.
- Kkoxville, Tenn., Nov. 2.' At one
o'clock this morning two hundred
mounted men came in from the moun
tains and liberated 200 convicts working
in the mines at Oliver Springs. So
quietly was it done that the people of
the town knew nothing of what had
happened until this morning when they
discovered the stockade was a mass of
smoking ruins-i short term prisoners
were furnished with citizens clothes and
with the exception, of a few -captured,
are alt now at large,' ' This makes more
than 500 penitentiary convicts turned
loose in that locality since Friday "even
ing. The governor of the state was here
yesterday,' 'f but left for Nashville this
morning. It does not appear that there
was- any resistence on the part of the
guards, and nobody was hurt. The
wildest rumors prevail, of which one is
that the miners will immediately pro
ceed to Tracy City and release the' con-
; victs there. ' . .
- The Maveripl; Bank. '
? Boktox, Nov. 2.-The doors of the
Maverick Nationtal bank closed this

All customers who hold checks
the Maverick bank . on return of
on
the
6aipae, will be
given checks ' on other
banks in which the Lombard Company
deposited. Several such checks were
presented this morning and j-edeemed.
The diffetnt J;national hanks will
immediately' t-a a meeting, of directors
to ratify the vote of the Clearing House
association.' ' ; .'- '
. The losses of the Maverick national
bank are estimated at upwards of 2,
5o0,000. ' The reported surplus and un
divided profits are $1000,000. The cap
ital is $400,000 and all of a 100 per' cent
assessment that the stock holders will
be called upon : to contribute, but as
nearly a majority of the bank shares are
owned .by President Potter it is doubtful
if a full assessment, can be collected.
The depositors, however, should only
lose a fraction - of their deposits. The
irregularities of the Maverick bank ex
tended back' over a period of two years.
- The banks voted to assess themselves
three per cent of the amount of their
loan. This will raises .about $4,000,000
for a loan to the Maverick bank.

SOMETHING SK1UOI .S SIAY HAPPEN.
Esran Accused of Trying: to Provoke
Var ho Secure Glory for the
United State.
Santiago, Oct. 31. Though there.
were no new developments todaj-, the
political atmosphere shows no signs of
clearing. The junta, through its organs, ,
is now -claiming the police of Valparaiso" '
were in no way at fault for the assault on
the sailors of the Baltimore, or in their
subsequent treatment of them. .This,
with other matters, notably the expect
ation that Minister Egan will soon be
directed to present an ultimatum to the
junta, is naturally causing great excite
ment. The possibilities .of serious
trouble with the United States has led"'
the Chilians into what may turn out to
be a dangerous; delusive belief. They .
seQm of the'opinion thatan alliance with '
Great Britain coujd be formed. - Indeed,
the Chilians are.alrt'ady gravely discus-'
sing the possibilities and probabilities of
such an alliance between Chili and Great
Britain against the United States. .
The United States legation is again
being closely watched by the police in "
the manner adopted some weeks ago,
when the legation's right of asylum was
questioned. No reason, sofaraslearned,
has been assigned for this renewed sur
veilance. It is probable the government
takes this means of keeping fully ad
vised of all who enter or leave the lega- '
tion, and also to make the right of as'- "
Inm -as difficult .and trying an -ivej(f---.
In any event, the fact cannot be 'OrX '
sight of that this espionage is annoying '
tothe members of the United States leg- "
ation, as well as to the American colony
at large. That the police on duty near
t he v American legation are under 'in
structions to arrest persons leaving that
place, in certain contingencies, is man
ifest from the fact that two ladies calling
at Minister Egan's were placed under ar
'rest last night as they came.out into the
street. After an examination they were"
permitted to depart.
These conditions are magnified by the
conditions of public feeling here' and by
the status of negotiations between the. .
United States and Chili, so it is not to be
wondered that the Americans are feel
ing uneaty and apprehensive that some
thing serious may happen, for the mem
bers of the junta continue to express
the strongest feeling against the United
States. A prominent member of the
new government, who holds a position
in the cabinet, today spoke in a most
unfriendly manner concerning America
and Americans. He was particularly
severe on Minister Egan, whom he.
bluntly accuses of trying to invoke war
between Chili and the United States, in.
order to secure glory for herself, On the
other hand, however,-it is asserted by
many persons conversant with the par
ticulars, that Kgan has done nothing
whatever in the matter on his own re
sponsibility, all his actions being guar- .
anteed by orders which have been sent
to him from the state department at
Washington, and furthermore, these
persons claim that Minister Egan made '
efforts privately to maintain friendly
relations between hS two governments.
The report of the intendente of Valpa
raiso says there were nearly 1000 men in ..
the recent fight. . Only fifty of this
number were Americans. Tile intend
ente claims that the police were blame
less in' the affair, but notwithstanding
this assertion , there is the best evidence
to prove they were the chief assailants
of the American sailors. '
The Orampus and Her Crew lteturn.
Sa.n Fhascisco, Oct. 31. The steam
whaler Grampus, about which there has
been so many startling stories of the
massacre of her' crew by natives in
Alaska, . arrived here tonight with a
catch of twenty-one whales. Every
man who started on the cruise returned,
except Second Officer J. A. Dray tan,
who died of ' dropsy. The whaler
returned on account of injury to her rud
der, otherwise she would have remained
another year on the cruise.
K ; . " The Dakota Storm.
Gkand Fohks, N. D., Oct. 31. It is
feared the storm of last night has caused
heavy damage to the . stock ranges and
especially to sheep." The president of
the Prouty Live Stock Association has
just returned from the ranges. He says
it will take , month- to get the cattle
together again. They ate now scattered
from the Manitoba boundary to the
South Dakota line. ' Threshing is greatly
delaved. :
