It Is Mot Tat Settled, and IitoWii Some Ditfioalt Points- Th Vsssel Is Not a Firats. Washington, May 8. The ques tion of the right of the United .states to take the Chilian steamer Itata on the high seas is not alto gether Bet tied. The state depart ment people are inclinM to -doubt the right. The whole question arises from a dispute as to the character of the vessel. If she were a pirate or a vessel of Ameri can register engaged in acts of vio'ation of the treaty stipula tions, the case would be a simple one; but she is merely a Chilian vessel engaged in the transporta tion of a suspected cargo and there is a great risk involved. The dis- f latches from Chili throw a pecu iar side light on the war, being to the effect that President Balma ceda has directed that the pay ments of tiie revenue and other duties to the government must be made in silver. A naval officer to day pointed out the fact that this means a good deal, and might indicate that a certain amount of specie was taken as a precautioo on the part of Balmaceda, who is as likely as not preparing for an abdication. Such an act will of course end the war in favor of the insurgents. FEMALE CUIM1NAI.. Over Eighty Tears Old anil Maiy Years In I'rlsou. A report from Hartford says that Mrs. Lucy Campbell, Connecti cut's most notorious female crim inal, was sent to jail again to-day for drunkenness. Mrs. Campbell is 8S yei rs old, and nearly fifty years oi her life ha-e been passed in prison. Her most conspicuous crime was committed in 1S74. While em ployed in a boarding house in this city Lucy sneaked into the room of the landlady at night, chloroform ed her and robbed her of her jew els and a large amount of money. She was captured and spent seven years at Wethersville for the crime. Later she committed a daring theft in Waterbury for which she did time, and then went to BridgejKirt, where she robbed a woman ol a large sum of money. Her last conspicuous crime was the robbery of the residence of Vi-car-tieneral Hughes ia this city, when she was 70 years old. Since serving her sentence for this she has become too feeble to do much in that line, and has spent most of her time in almshouses and jails for drunkenness. In her prime s'ie was remarkably handsome. HOW IT FAILED. The Inside History of a, Philadel phia Bank. The arrest in Philadelphia of two ex-ollicers of the Keystone National Bank has resulted in bringing to light much of the in side history of the bank, and how the speculations of the former president, J. C. Lucas, wrecked the institution. It is learned that to sustain the burden of his many ventures he tock from the bank funds about a million dollars, for which he deposited little or no collateral. The returns to the con troller of the currencv were falsified to conceal this. After the death of Lucas, President Marsh continued to make false returns until the failure of the bank. When Mrs. Lucas was called on to make good the indebtedness of her late husband, which was then supposed to be about $600,000, she turned over collaterals to that amount and was given a receipt in full for all claims against her hus band's estate. When it was learned Lucas owed $400,000 more, another call was made on the widow, who, however, declines to respond. EVANGELICAL CONFERENCE. Meets In Spokane, Portland for Next Meeting;. Spokane, May 8. The eighth annual session of the Oregon con ference of the Evangelical Associ ation of North America, met in the Trinity church in Spokane this morning. Bishop J. J. Esher presiding.

Lord James Edward Sholto Douglas, brother SATURDAY, MAY 9 of the Marquis of Queensbury, committed suicide to-day by cut ting his throat with a razor. Lord Douglas had been traveling from Ireland during the night. Ha be haved in such a strange manner that the railroad officials, noticing he was apparently in a demented condition, ordered cne of the com pany's employes to accompany tiim to London. Upon his arrival in this city Douglas put up at a hotel, and subsequently eluded his attendant and cut his throat. TBI DEADLY CIGARETTE. It Causes Fire. Entailing Loss of ZS.OOO. AfSTiN, Tex., May 8.

She makes a bequest to Yale college of $150,000 for memorial to her husband. Other charitable bequests are made. General Butler Attached. Lowell, Mass., May 8 The Prescott National Bank has placed an attachment on the property of General Butler for $12,000. The money consideration was given about four years ago on a personal note which the bank discounted. When the note fell due it was not paid. WAR INOTES. HOW THE CHILIAN WAfl VES SELS WERE MANAGED. Came In Company and tbe War Ship Awaits the Returner tbe Transport. Sax Diaoo, May 8. The Associ ated Press reporter to-day secured an interview with the two desert ers from the Chilian steamer Ktata. They said that the Chilian man of war Esmeralda, which is now in the hands of tbe insurgents, left Iquique early in April to con vey the steamer Itata to the near est American port for the purpose of buying provisions, and to set arms which had already been pur chased by the agent ol the insurg ents in New York, and shipped to San Francisco, to be placed on some coasting vessel and trans ferred to the Itata at some rendez vous to be arranged later. The Transport and the man of war sailed northward in company as far as Cape San Luicas. where the transfer was made of a large portion of the crew of the Esmer alda to the hold of the Itata, with their cutlaBses and muskets and after the captain of the war ship had himself gone aboard the Itata the vessels parted, it being under stood the Esmeralda would wait off San Luicas for the return of the transport. TELEGRAPHIC NOTES. Three men were drowned Mon day at the outlet of Braddock's bay, on Lake Ontario. Judgments aggregating $239,625 were filed yesterday against Lehi ner & Co., New York importers. President Van Home of the'.Ca nadian Pacific says there ia a great er acreage of wheat planted this season than ever before. Ex-Governor Thomas Critten den of Missouri was reported much better yesterday, and strong hopes of hid recovery are entertained. Dr. Boiling, one of the most prominent physicians in the South and dean of" the University of Louisville, died in that city yes terday. Great forest fires are reported in the vicinity of Davis, Tucker county, W. Va and heavy losses will result unless they are soon ex tinguished. Another Indian company has been sworn in as Company I of the Eighth Infautry, composed of twenty-eight Shoshones and twen ty eight Arapahoes. The twenty-first international conference of general secretaries of the Young Men's Christian Asso ciation of North America, which has been in session at St. Joseph, Mo., adjonrned Monday. The total defalcation of ex-Cashier Percival of the Shoe and Leath er National Bank of Auburn, Me., is $160,000. He is very feeble, but if he ever is able to leave his room he will be prosecuted. As an outgrowth of the naturali zation frauds of 1890 the United States circuit court at St. Louis has declared null and void the na turalization papers of seventy-two persons on the charge that they were fraudulently obtained. General Manager St. John of the Rock Island road says that the crop prospects were never better, and Kansas alone shows a great increase in acreage. As for Oxla noma, he says it is prospering be yond the most sanguine expectations. 1891 NAUGHTY ATTORNEY He Collects An Aged Widow's Insurance Money. PAYS OVER ONLY HALF OF IT. Thsn Skips Oat for Petturts N.w and Qrssa-Tbs Law Fallswt Him Up sad He Is is Limbo. Ashland, Or., May 8. A war rant was issued this afternoon and telegtaphed to the sheriff of Doug las county, at Roseburg, for the arrest of Luther N. Burteushaw, a lawyer who bas had his shingle out in Ashland for a year or two past. Burtenshaw solicited the collection of an insurance policy for $1200 for Mary J. Moore, an aged widow lady whose eon died several months ago, itnd Wednes day collected the amount of the policy through the Jackscn county bank at Medford. Last evening he paid Mrs. Moore $600, saying he had Lot collected the balance. Suspicion was aroused which led to the discovery that he bad col lected the full amount through the Medford bank, and had taken the train for the north. Burlenshaw was arrested. O'SHEA D1VOKCE, Kuuiors That the Cane Is Not Yet Settled. The latest upon t ie O'-Shea case says that thougn no official confir mation can be obtained of the story that the Queen's Proctor is making inquiries with a view to intervene in the O'Sbea divorce suit to pre vent the decree Wing made abso lute, it is generally credited. It is also stated that the information supplied to the Queen's Proctor alleges that O'Shea suppressed material facts. If this is proved to have been the case the divorce proceedings will be annulled and Paruell cannot marry Mrs. O'Shea. The belief is prevalent that the latent independent inquiry would upset O'Shea's case, not by dis proving the adulterv of his wife, but by showing that negligence and indifference on his part might amount to collusion. LAND CASES AFF1KMEU. Timber Laud Entry Held fur cancel latlon. The secretary of the interior has amrmed tne decision of the com missioner of the general land office in holding for carcellation timber lu nd entries of Morris Prager and Lewie Prager, transferees of m Gates, for tracts of land in the Oregon City district, Oregon.

WARnrvninu Hfi a on.- erintendent of the census issued a bulletin on the subject of asylums for the insane in the United States. The total number of insane per sons treated in both public and private institutions during lSS'.i was 97,533, while 18S1 there were 56,203 treated, showing an increase in nine vears of 41,330 or 73.53 per cent, t his percentage of increase compared with the percentages of increase of population, namely 34.86, does not indicate au increase in the porportion of insane persons to the population, but rather a great increase in the amount of asylum accommodation provided, and the willingness on the part of the pub'ic to make use of all the facilities provided. The numln-r of insane in each geographical di vision were: North Atlantic divi sion 30,5 ; South Atlantic 11.2H3 ; North Central, 28,iH) ; South Cen tral, 7,75!t and Western, C,S20. Of the 6,820 in the Western divis ion 4,593 or 67.42 per cent are in California, leaving but 2,222 or 32.58 per cent for the remaining stales composing the Western di vision. Instantly Killed.

L0n1)0N SCANDAL. THE CASK OF CAI'T. VEIINEV STILL GOING ON. Verney aud One Other Eiprllcd From the Commons - Law to En able Men to Ketlgu. London, May 8. The formalit ies of the expulsion of Captain Verney and Mr. deCabain from the bouse of commons will lie secret. The recent report of the scandals involves in disgrace seven members of parliament, not in cluding several who escaped ex posure, though tlieir cases were widely talked about. No parly capital can tie made, each section contributing blackguards to the list. Talking of recent develop ments with his friends, Gladstone said it was nothing exceptional in the cases of the pub'ic men ex posed ; that the importance of the cases lay in their being (symptom atic of social and motal dixease requiring vigorous united Chris tian action to amend it. Sir Henry James intra luceil a bill enabling tbe members of the commons to resign without resort ing to the fiction of applying for stewartship of the Chiltern hun dreds. Tunneling for Trattlc and Pelf. The gigantic scheme of tunnel ing the Rocky mountains is now in progress. A tunnel is already 3,000 feet on the east side into Kelso mountain, ami 1,400 feet on the west side. The two main ob jects of the enterprise ere to obtain a direct rail route from Denver to Salt Lake City, which will shorten the distance, it is said 250 miles, and to strike the rich veins which are supposed to run in vertical lines through the mountains. There are more than 250 of these veins, which will be reached at 1,000 to 4,440 leet below the tops of the mountains. The length of the proposed tunnel is to be 26,200 feet. It is supposed that it will be a big paying object. Little too Previous. The East Washingtonian savs: that George Gibson is in the city irom Asotin county. He is mbi- lant over his magnesia find, and brought some verv hne samples from his claim, which is located about a mile from Snake river, and a short distance above Asotin city. He also exhibited some ex cellent samples of limestone, taken irom the same claim. George thinks the railroad, which is now assured for Asotin, will be ex tended up the river to bis magnesia quarry, when hundreds of thou sands of tons of this superior qual ity oi Dnilding stone will be shipped to Chicago and other hit cities the west. World's Fair Directory. Washington', May X.

LOSSES AKE INPAKALLELKU, Foreigners flocking in to Supply Placet -No Lack of Namlers. bat Skilled Workmen Are Scarce. PiTTsiit ko. May 8. The ruins of Tuesday night's conflagration were looted to-ilay by a moo oi Italian and Hungarian men, women and children. Foreigners are coming into the coke region in a bulk. An opera tor said to day that he can turn 3000 men into the region in 24 hours, but cannot shelter them. The peculiarity about this whole sale importation is that the strik eis are as firm and unbroken as ever. In addition to the inconvenience suffered by the near town furnaces, owing to the strike, a general com plaint conies to-day from Matron ing and Shenango valley furnaces, that are estimated to produce one eighth of the pig iron in the coun try. 1 he furnaces in these valleys shut down last January, for two months, but the coke strike came upon them just as they expected to resume, and for live months many blast furnaces in the valleys have been dead. Operators would be glad to resume, but the coke supply is too weak to be depended upon, in liguring up tne losses no attention has yet been paid to the railioads that are really the greatest l.ers. The lines running through the coke regions have missed tlieir S000 cars of coke per week for three months, while the roads in the Shenango and Ma honing valleys for five months have lound a falling oft in the shipments of a million tons of coal, iron ore and finished arti cles. All this loss, exclusive of the wages of the men on every side, and tbe profits of the coke, furnace and mill oieratore, will present figures of a loss bevond belief. Itank Failure. Pini.AiiEi.i'iiiA, May 8. Spring Garden National Bauk closed its doors this morning. The large withdrawals of deposits during the late stringency in the money mat ket caused the suspension. Presi dent Kennedy said: "We have been below our reserve fund Io .some weeks and can see no imme diate pruspect of increasing it. We iill owe a balance to the clearing house committee, for outstanding the loan certificates, payment of which being pressed. These facts coupled with the disturbances of lunt week caused increased uneasi ness ou the part of some depositors and weakening our credit with other banks. The Pennsylvania Trust Co., which is now a state in stitution, but was originally the outgrowth of the Spring Garden hank, made an assignment, capi tal of trust, tf 125,000. The Trust company was formed by officers of the bank according to tbe state ment made by the Spring Garden hauk to the clearing house. Monday last the assets exceeded liabilities $1,S75,000. Among the items was $2,427,000 worth of loans and discounts. Much of these were not of a guilt edged character. President Kennedy, his brother, the cashier, and Director Evans are said to be interested in a number of ventures of a specula tive character, that have not proven successful. City Treasurer Bardsley has $144,000 "on deposit in this bank.'' Italy Still Cavorting. Home. May 8.
