THE ITATA CAUGHT.
She is Delivered Over to the
United States Authorities.
NONE OK TIIK AltMS MISSING,
The Insurgents Are Great!; Excited Over
the Turn 1 Affairs - What Will the
Fede.-ul Courts Deoide?
luim'.'i:, Chili, June 4. (Via
Galveston.) The steamship Itata
arrivtd l.eie this morning from
Tocopilla, and has been delivered
over to the American war ehips
nowhere. The Charlestoi la ex
pected to arrive here to day from
Arica.
The Itata handed over all the
arms she took from San Diego,
consisting of oliOO rifles.
New York, June 4. A Herald
special from Iquiipie, Chili, says:
"The excitement and rejoicing re
cently c.iused tiiere by the news
t tat the l.'nitcd Slates cruiser
Charleston had an ived at Callao,
Peru, without having caught sight
of the Itata, was nothing compared
to the sensation and enthusiasm
when word was received that I he
Itata had an ived at locupilla
Immediately upon hearing this
welcome intelligence the insurgeRt
authorities sent back orders I) the
commander of the Itala lo lose no
time in coming on to this port. Il
is therefore believed the Itata will
arrive here to-morrow, and an
ovation awaits her. The pursuit
of the transport by the Charleston
has been naturally followed with
the keenest interest by the inhab
itants of this town. The dispatch
from the connu iink-r of the Itata
was vety brief, and we shall have
to await tier arrival her.; to learn
the details of her famous run from
San Diego, Cal. 4 am informed,
however, that the commander ol
the Itata reports he did not fee
iny traces of his pursuer. It is
generally believed here that the
1 tata has made a transfer other
arms and ammunition to the Ks
meralda oil' the Mexican coast. It
is not thought likely, however,
that the insurgents would order
the Itata here if she had arms and
ammunition still on board. It may
be she has already discharged her
cargo at Tocopilla. At any rate, if
she has got rid of it in anv way, by
a transfer to the Esmeralda or by
landing it on the Chilian coast, it
may be that her being rrdered
here is in accordance with the re
port already sent out that the in-
urgentfl intend to turn Her over
to the United States government
in order that the question of a vio
lation of the neutrality laws may
be f illy tested in the federal
c'ourts. Tocopilla is a little over
100 miles south of Iquiipie, and is
in the northwestern part of the
province of At-jcama. It is just
the spot for the captain of the
Itata to turn ins vessel in. its
nearness to Cobij t would enable
him to reach an important rail
road center, if necessary, while at
the email ort of Tocopilla no one
would expect to mid the Itata. It
would seem the Itata'scommandei
was fully apprised from s-mii
source, doubtless the r.nmeia.:.
His superiors i.ave ordered him p
return, and all responsibility i
taken oil' his shoulders if the shi
is to be surrendered."
LonpoN, June 4. A Valparais"
cable says tl at the president is
aoout to make another t-tTort to
bring IquKpie to surrender. The
rebel Oeneral I rrutia, the only
Chilian general ho proved un
faithlul to the established govern
ment, is souring I he provinces
held by the libels for recruits, and
in many instances men have been
shot for refusing; to en'nt. I he
rebels are attempting to organize
an army with a view to a forlorn-
hope inarch on Santiago, liaium-
eeda, however, has within imme
diate call for defense ol the capital

the young California pugilist, ar
rived in this city thismorning and
received a welcome calculated to

THE 9TOKV OF A CKIMK.
A Mysterious Power That Revealed
a Murderer' Work.
Lospon, June '4. Present indi
cations leave hardly a hope that
Duncan, the American who mur
derously assaulted his ife in
Wales, will escape a charge of
murder. An interesting state
ment, not yet presentcu in evi
dence, is told by the quarryman
who came upon the couple and
prevented the completion of the
deadly work. It is that while
pursuing another way home he
felt a mysterious impulse to take
a secluded and totally unfrequent
ed path instead of the one which
he ordinarily followed". This im
pulse he is utterly unable to ex
plain, but it is so powerful that he
did not resist, and when he start
ed on the path he at once felt
easier in his mind, l'.nt for this
singular prompting nobody would
have seen Duncan and his wife ou
the terrible occasion.

Rir-iii;stkk, June 4. John Hob

went to Rufl'alo a few days ago and
bought a bear, llruiu was shipped
yesterday on the i.yons accommo

a crate ot rough boards and was
seemingly secure. When the

messenger noticed th.it the bear
-.as uneasy, and soon was teui
ed to see the animal burst out of
he cage and come at him. growl
ing furiously. Tygart made a dash
lor the dor ot the car with the
bear in close pursuit, but the mes
senger got out first and slammed
the door behind him. He crawled
upon the tender and over to the
locomotive and there he stayed
till the train reached here. In the
car were severil barrels of fish,
crates of berries, crock ) of butter
and some boxes of fancy crack
ers, and the bear proceeded to
make an elalnirate lunch of them
and to amuse himself by tearing
open and destroying the express
packages. Ry the time the tiain
reached Rochester, the interior of
the car looked as if a cyclone had
struck it, while the bear was
smeared from head to tail with
butter and still growling furiously.
The car was sent on to Ontario

night all efforts to get him out
had been unsuccessful.
How Portland Won the Kri.c.
San Francisco Report : We ate
very sorry tiiat San Francisco has
lost the Presbyterian (ieneral As
sembly of 18!2, for to have hail it
would have been very advantage
ous to the city. Several hundred
intelligent gentlemen, with their
families, would have visited us,
and we doubt, not gone away
pleased to sjieak well of San Fran
cisco and the state. The manner
in which the assembly was lost
makes the defeat all the more vex
atious. It was lost by sheer lack
of enterprise and spirit. San Fran
cisco otlered, in the "assembly in
Detroit, on Saturday last a guaran
tee of flO,000. Portland olleied
$20,000, and entertainment for 200
delegates. In the piesence of this
oiler ban r rancisco stood n tually
mute. Of cour e its delegat?s
talked, but they did not see Port
land's $20,000 and go it any better.
and, of course, coin talks in church
as in every other. So the assem
bly voted enthusiastically for little
Portland. We congratulate Po.t
land on its grit. It fairly w on the
prize from San Francisco, with its
300,000 inabitants, beaten out and
out by Portland, with one-Sfth of
the population. Well, well!
FUN IN ILLINOIS.
A Scene of Excitement and Con

AM. OVKKTIIK WOKLD'3 FA 111.
A Tie-Vote on a $750,000 Appropriation
Dtci.icd By the Speaker-Ad Atteinot
Will Ee Made to B?coDsider.
Si'itiN'.KiKi.n. III., June 4. An
extraordinary scene of wild con
fusion ami excitement was wit
nessed in the lower house of the
general as.-embly yesterday when
the world's fair bill, which as
passed by the senate appropriates
$1.0 K),000 for the Illinois exhibit
was acted npon. Effort to reduce
the appropriation to $500,090 or
fiiOO.ooo were successively de
feated, but on a motion fixing the
amount at $759,000 it was appar
ent the vote would be a tie. Then
Speaker Crafts, a democrat, voted
fur the amendment, and, ignoring
a republican member who wished
to change his vote, hurriedly an
nounced the ballot closed. Then
the house became a bedlain of
shrieking blasphemy and hurrah
ing men. Crafts coolly declared
tne 75O,OO0 amendment adopted
in the face of a terrific storm of
protest. The speaker would only
listen to a motion to adjourn, and
calmly declared it carried. The
members were now yelling and
running alnjiit like wild men.
Half a doen msde a rush for the
speaker to diag him from the chair
but were forcibly held back by his
friends. It is expected another
outbreak will take place to-day,
w hen an attempt will be made to
reconsider the vote.

Commercial bank, which institu
tion went ruder several months
ago, short nearly $100,000. P.leu
ler has been wanted for some time
as has President Ragsdaie and
other officials, charged with per
jury, embezzlement and otuer
crimes. Ragsdale is in Denver, it
is thought. Vice-President Mc
l.ain is siP)j)osed to be in Newton,
Kan., ana the assistant cashier,
clerks and others, who are all
under indictment, are in different
parti of the cou'itry, but just
s here no one knows. The Com
mercial was supposed to be the
strongest financial institution in
Oklahoma :.t the time of its sus
pension, and hundreds of creditors
ere left penniless as a result. A
short timj ajo Ciief Justice

ceiver, and yesterday Mr. Nix filed
his statement with the court. It
shows that the bank, from its in
ception, started with a view to
take in nil it could in deposits and

and otlier English jtfmtu.g insti
tutions have coMptred to keep up
fictitious rates for mqney with the
purpose? interfering with laws
which should govern trade and
commerce, and are draining ua of

retaliate by maintaining
an arbitrary rate of interest,
say 0 per cent., and that the treas

Germany Is Desirous ot Changing
the Existing Mode of Adminis
tering Death to Criminals.
London, June 4. A Berlin dis
patch says that the Prussian min
ister of j 'ist ice. Dr. Schelling, is
interested in the new American
method of execution by electrity.
and has caused instructions to be
sent for full reports as to its meth
ods of working, so far as obtaina
ble. Many Russians are inclined
to consider decapitation as too
barbarous a method of execution.
and the consequence of thi9 senti
ment is favorable to the criminal
classes. Reimiel, the headsman,
has been making personal inqui
ries on the subjict of electrical
death; whether for official reasons
or to satisfy his ow n curiosity is
not known. The conservative feel
ing in Germany is very strong, and
there is little probability of such
a serious change in the criminal
laws as to do away w:th the exist
irg fotm of death penalty.
