8 tar tl hie Manifesto,
New Tokk, Aug. 15. The last
mail from Panama brings a copy
of a manifesto iseued by the execu
tive council of the Chilian revolu
tionists June 15 last. The mani
festo accuses Balniaceda of lying
when be stated that men ol war ot
every nation were in pursuit of the
insurgent vessels. and had captured
some ot them, the actaot Balma
ceda, both military and civil, are
mentioned in a earcastlc manner.
Speaking of Baluiaceda's policy,
the manifesto adds:
"The dictator squandered $20,
000,000 left in the national vaults
by previous administrations. He
emitted $12,000,000 in paper mon
ey, and has tecently been author
ized by hia so-called congress to
get $0,000,000 ; and besides all thia
he used $20,000,000 unfairly appro
priated from the issues of the
hanks. This vast amount should
have been used to purchase war
material with which to resist revo
lution, but has been spent in pay
ing spies and bribery". Naturally
and logically the crdit of Chili
will sutler iu foreign markets from
the effects of such proceedings.
Tli ree things are needful that
opposition may speedily reach tin
desired end: First, to put lan
forces in motion ; second, to pei
feet the organization of forces;
and third, to attack tyranny in it
own locality.
"The first two have already been
accomplished. It only remains
now to attack the tyrant in his
den, and the hour draws near. The
dictator, contemplating the fate
that threatens him, has easayed a
new intrigue to delay the evil day,
and has proposed an armistice to
the congressional party throngh
the American admiral. The lead
ers of the revolution regarded it
with contempt. We ask our friends
to have entire confidence in the
outcome."

KILLED BY A MKTEOK.
Terrible Death by a 6bot from the
Sky,
BlNGHAMPTON, N. Y., AllgUSt 15
It ia reported that Lhoina
Lucaa was killed by a falling star
at a email hamlet in Elk county
Pa. Lucas' little daughter
aroused the neighbors, and a party
repaired to his home. Directly
over the bed waa a .arge hoie in
the ceiling, and the plastering was
scattered in all directions. On
the bed lay the mangled form of
Lucas. Hia head had been par
tially torn oil. On the blood
stained pillow lay one eye and
several teeth, while blood and
brains besmeared the headboard
A big hole was burned througl.
the bed clothing, and piercing the
tloor. the lloor boards were re
moved, and, embedded in the
earth, was found a large piece of
rock, weighing fully twenty-five
pounds, which was yet warm
1 his confirmed the belief that the
house had been s'ruck by a por
tion ot an exploded meteor.
Lousy Hop.
A corrrseondent to the Eugene
Journal takes a gloomy view 01 the
situation. He savs the hop louse
haa already begun working on the
ope and growers tell us that they
have found hops turning black
and rotting from the effects of the
louse. If such ia the case the
chances for the hop growers are
very poor this year. Last vear
the louse did not begin working
ou the hops until about picking
time and then a large quantity
of hops were spoiled before they
could be saved, and aa the louse
baa already begun working on the
hops thia year the chances are
that the hope will be spoiled lie-
lore they are ready to pick. Mr.
Jaa. Ebbert tells us that he found
bop lice away up the McKeuzie
on a lone hop vine twenty uve or
thirty milea from any hop vard.
He also aaya he has lound them on
on the leava of maple trees. If
he hop louse has come to stay the
hops must go.
A Wonderful Lily Tend.
Twelve miles north of Norwich,
Conn., is one of the most wonder
ful lily ponda in America. It is a
lake one mile in diameter, so
closely grown with lilies that dur
ing the blossoming time it is hard
to get a glimpse of the water.
When the wind ia strong and the
lilies are open the perfume of them
is perceptible a quart r of a mile
from the brink of the pond. So
thick are the lilies and in such
tangfod masses that it is almost
impossible to propel a boat in the
pond, and the lily gatherers have
to wade for them in hip rubber
boots. Not only are the lilies ex
traordinarily plentiful, but the
blossoms are more regal, perfect,
lustrous and of deeper hue than
in other ponds.
Important Derlsslun,
Acting Secretary Chandler
rendered a decision which
has
will
materially change the practice of
the department as to agricultural
entriea which are subsequently
found to be mineral in character,
Tho acting secretary holds that
"in order to defeat the agricultur
al entry on the ground
of the ' mineral character of
the land, it must be shown that
the mineral was known to exist at
the time of the entry." Hereto
fore it has been the practice to con
ceal such entries when the min
eral was discovered prior to the
issuance of the patent.

FARMERS WILL MAKE MONEY.
Indescribable Scene of Eioiteaent in
Chicago A Str.m? Forelgi Market
and High Price Prevail.
Chicago, August 15. December
wheat opened with a continuation
of yesterday's wild scenes. Strong
cables continued to allect the mar
ket. Those who sold wheat
around to C yesterday, thinking
the culmination had been reached,
rushed into the pit to cover at any
terms to stop the loss. Orders
from New York and St. Louis for
shorts came pouring in, and alto
gether there was a wild scene. AH
sorta of prices were bid and ac
cepted in different parts of the pit
at the eanie time. Within two
minutes after the bell tappe l, all
the way between $1.015a and
$l.027n", with some trade possibly
at $1.0., were paid. The flood of
selling orders caused a break to
$1.04 V. There was a rally at
$1.02, then another break to
$1.01 and an advance to $1.02'j.
About 10:15 another bull wave
swept over the wheat pit. and
amid indescribable scenes ot ex
citement the price was put up by
halves and quarters to $I.0o'a
within three minutes. This bulge
it is understood, was the result
f buying in for the account of
the shorts who failed to respond to
the margin calls. When these
wants were satisfied there was a
luick reaction to $1.03'j, and at
10 :3'J the price was $1.04
Alter 10:.J0 the m:or subsided
somew hat, at least for a time, and
the fluctuations were narrow.
Then another advance set in, nnd
t.he price rose to $1.00 about 11
j'clock. Ten minutes later it
Iropiied to $1.08. Other markets
were lost sight of in the excite
ment in wheat. Russia, France.
Germany, Austria, Hungary and
India have short crops. All the
loreign markets are excitedly
higher, and aa America is the only
country wnico lias full crops, she
counts on profiling by the Euro
pean and Asiatic ecarcity. This,
in brief, seems to be the senti
ment prevalent on the board here.
As the session drew toward the
close, traders were desirous of
evening up their trades. The con-
equence was that from the ex
tretne high point of $1.09, the
market broke off to $1.053j.
1 here was a rally in December
wheat to $1.00', at which noint
t closed.
