CHILI'S NEW HHITS, Insnrgants Trying- to Have Tbam Sui'k In Some Foielfn Part, London, Aug. 10. Information is in possession of the Chilian le iration in reference to the con spiracy to destroy the two Chilian ironclads, 'resident rinto ana r rauriz. It appears that $15,000 was ottered an English maritime otlicer in the service of the Chilian government if he would undertake to blow up tne urrazuriz. tie refused the offer with indignation. While the vessel was in the har bor of Lisbon auspicious boats were seen approaching on several occasions, but the caretui outlook on the vessel kept them at bay, While the Pinto was at loulon a party of men attempted to join the crew. 1 ney looaea so unune sail ors that a suspicion was aroused and the commander concluded to reject them, although in need men. Proof afterwards came i- his knowledge that these men had neen engaged to sink tne snu There is also reason to believe that the running ground at Toulon was owing to treachery, llie com mander was so convinced of this that he sent a report to that effect to Paris. 1 be Krrazuriz is already safe at sea,and it is understood the Pinto will soon be in a position to follow, and their arrival will put an end to the revolution. The Old Fight Oyer Again. Dktroit. Aug. 10. Great excite' ment prevailed at Windsor, Can ada, Saturday evening. Citizens who have a leaning toward Ainer ican principles and government decorated their places of business in honor ol tbeurand Army ot tne Republic celebration in this city. Minister of Militia uaron was telegraphed bv the Windsor roy alists, who were wrathy because the Canadians made so much ot what thev termed the "d d Amer icanism," and requested that he instruct the authorities at Windsor to remove the decorations. This order was telegraphed to Windsor, and the aid of the Essex county fusiliers had to be called upon When the Windsor Americans saw the law was imperative and that they must obey, the flags were removed, but not until sev eral squabbles, in which stones, etc., were hurled, had occurred.

They went there to protest against long hours and other grievances. Many women marched in the procession, which was very respectable. The places of the clerks are so easily tilled that until recently they were afraid to form a union for fear of general discharge, but learning tli at they bad not only the sym pathy of the public but also the good will of many emoloyers, who were willing to do better if all employes were on an equal footing me union was lormea. J no rain had a dampening effect, but the speeches were none the less eiu phatic, as well as reasonable. Mattel In the Irish Factions. London, Aug. 10. The situation of the Irish party does not seem to improve with Dillon and O'Brien out of prison. O'Brien maintains comparative seclusion, and Dillon who was willing at liret to be air gressive against Parnell, has, it is said, almost concluded not to take a share in the struggle between the two factions. The reported scandal in the family of an Irish member of parliament opposed to Parnell will probably not come before the pnblic. The first wife is said to have accepted the oiler ed compromise, and will maintain the reticence on the subject which she has maintained for years. Train Ditched by a Steer. clacktakp.

Culture In Mexico City. Mexico City is a far more cul tivated capital than is irenerallv supposed. You may have as good schools here as anywhere. There are collges for women and men there is a great national museum a line art gallery, which contains a number of the old masters, and tne people nave tiieir social clubs and their literarp societies Mexico has its poets, and while I have been here its poet laurate has recited a patriotic poem at public celebration. It has its novelists and its historians, and nowhere in the world will you find a more general love for music among all cla-ses of people. Kvery Mexican city uas its puza or Central park, containing floweis trees, seats and a band stand, and several times a week the govern ment and other bands give here free open air concerts. In Mexico City every Sun bay morning you may hear delicious music by one of the best bands of the world in the Plaza Mayor. from 12 o'clock to 1 the whole city turns out and takes a promenade in the Alamada, auotber great nark, and here also an excellent baud plays at this time. In tin evening mere is more ruueic in the olaza. ana tins great square ol ten acres is tilled with men, women and children of all ages and costumes mere are Hundreds ot persons who move about under bin hats with bright blankets thrown around their shoulders over their cotton suits.

Manv of the women have babies wrapped up in their rebesa shawl or slung upon their backs, and m many cases the men carried ine names Here a couple of lovers go along hand in band, or with arm of the man around the waist of the sweet heart or wife, and all listen to the music and criticise it and enjoy it. There are also the rich in the plszs.

At 3:30 this morning hre was discovered in Conway's lodging house, corner becond and Mill. Before an en gine arrived tne building was a mass of flames and the inmates were fleeing for their lives. All the guests but one have been ac counted for. The hook and ladder truck was immediately called into use to save tne lives of the in mates. Charles Johnson, Mrs. Conway's brother, was taken out through a second story window, lie had been suffocated to death. His face was burned almost be yond recognition. He was a terri ble sight. Just across from him on the east side of the building was a negro named Washington. His hands and arms were terribly burned, fie will die. A man named Green jumped from a third story window and is injured internally. He can hard ly recover. J. H. Dwver jumped from a third story window. His injuries were a broken arm. Several others jumped from third story windows and escaped unhurt. The lire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. There seemed to be no person whose duty it was to attend to the sufferers, and, as they lay on the street, their groans added to the panic of the crowd. OOIMU WRONG. A Wayward Girl Creates 1 Com- notion In Seattle. Seattle, August 10. X. Sil- bonn, an acrobat employed at the Palace theater, fell from his trapeze to the theater floor, a dis tance of twenty feet, on his head, and it is thought he sustained Utal injuries. The accident oc curred this morning. The injured man was taken to his room on Jackson street. Complaint was made at the police headquarters to-dav by Mrs. Dr. Barnes, who lives on Third street, near Spring, that her laughter lela, 14 years old, had iieen mismng from her home since the dav before at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. It was suspected that a certain cigar dealer on Front street as interested in the girl's disappearance and Otlicer Foster was detailed to hunt up the girl 1 he mother had previously seen the runaway girl on nest street, near Cedar street and the otlicer immediately began searching along West and Water streets. where the family has a good many friends. At I :w o clock the otli cer found the girl in a shack occu pied bv a man named f.dles and liis wife, situated in an alley be tween Battery and Bell street. There were two other men in the room with the girl. OHicer Foster turned the girl over to her mother, who took her home. The case is surrounded in mystery, and owing to an ellort to keep the matter inlet it was impossible to get all the facts with regard to the affair, BLAINE WILL ACCEPT, That Is the Way Conger, of Ohio ruts It. Chicago, Aug. 10. A Washing ton special says: A man who talked with Conger, of Ohio, mem ber of the national republican committee, is authority for the statement that Blaine, iiis health permitting, will be in the bauds of bis lrieiids in 1SD2. He says : "Conger broached the subject to Blaine, who seemed rather indis nosed to talk about it at all Conger dwelt at length upon the steadfastness of Blaine's friends. Kepublicans generally wished to see him president, ana victory with any other man as the nom inee waa uncertain. Blaine showed great feeling when Conger dilated upon me taitniui service of his friends, and said he had every disposition to serve them and the republican party too, and would decline tie nomination in advance. W hether he told Conger directly that he would take the nomination I do not know, but this much I can say : That Con ger says Blaine will accept it, and so believe now all of Blaine's friends." CENTRAL AMERICAN STATES, Seize a United States Mall Steam ship for Lack of Permit, San Salvador, August 10. The Pacific mail steamship, Citv of 'anama, Captain White, the fast est of the Panama fleet, has been seized by the authorities at La Libertad, because the vessel had left La Union without a permit iVmii the otlicer at that port. The vs of Uuatemala, .Nicaragua .. ' 'alvador passed laws making it . .1 to employ natives to load stea -i at night. It is stated this leg.slation was caused by the fact that the people were incenied at the rates charged by the com pany, which they deemed exces sive. Tbe company has been loading its vessels day and night, so as to make quicker time, to meet the terms of the subsidy for carrying mails. It is said Captain White, in his desire to maintain his time schedule, left La Union without a permit, as the authori ties insisted on a lot of goods.then on the dock, being shipped, and this would delay him consMerably. The United States steamer Ranger is in these waters, and it is ex pected her commander will assist in adjusting the difficulty. ANOTHER DROWNING. Clayton Riley's Body la Found Bad ly Decomposed.
