assault on the sailors of the Balti

British bark named the Prince of
Wales had a c'aim against, the
Brazilian government. At the
same time three officers of the
British frigate Forte were arretted
wbilrt ailiore in a Brazilian town,
itmrr while in civilian dres, for
drunkenness and disorderly con
dnct. The 'British minister at
Riode Janeiro at once demanded
the payment of 6009. This sum
not being forthcoming, tour Britiih
men-of war sailed away from the
harbor of Rio. In a few days one
of them returned with the infor
mation that a number of Brazilian
merchant vessels had bJeu cap-
tin ed by the Knglis'i men-of-war.
Up in th s the Brazilian govern

Balauce Wheel.
Cohk. Oct. 2ii. Jobu Dillion
was pursued and attacked last
night while driving to attend an
anti-i'arneliite meeting, lie was
pelted with stones, and during the
fracas received a severe blow on
tbe knee from a stick. The injury
la not of a severe nature, out on
account ot the swelling Dillion
must keep quiet. Consequently
the injured parliamentarian li4a
ceased ti is woik of canvaesin in
behalf of the nominee of the Mc
Carthyi'e party.
The fighting which took place
between th. McCarthyiies and
Paruellites last night in the streets
of this city was more cerious than
at first apiieated. There was a
series of scrimmages between the
contending parties, the most severe
being the one in which Mr. Dillon
was disabled. Crowds of Mc
Carthyites were upon tint occa
sion accompanying Dillon and
O'Brien, who were on their way to
attend a McCartbyite meeting.
The McCartbyitea came into col
lision with a procession of Paruell
ites. Neither. crowd would give
away to the other, and so a general
melee foKowed, several thousand
combatants taking part. Black
hiins, bricks and stones were
uedbyboth parties. Finally the
McCarthy ites succeeded in wicnch
ing the torches from the hands of
the Parnellites. The victorious
McCartbyitea then continued tneir
match. Upon arriving at the
maTket-place, where the meeting
was held, O'Brien addressed about
5000 McCarthyites. In the mean
time the routed Parnellites,
with reinforcements, made another
onslaught on the . McCarthyites.
Thep charged into the rquare,
slashing right and left with their
blackthorns and splitting many
hi ads. The McCarthyites, though
they fought desperately, were
slowly driven back. Then for a
time the Parnellites held the mar
ketplace. The McCarthyites soon
found strong reinforcements, and
thus strengthened they again mus
tered in a compact body and madu
a dash at the Parnellites. After a
most desperate battle, the Parnell
ites was routed. Many on both
aides were injured, in addition to
those already reported as having
beea taken to the hospital to nave
their wonnds attended to
A similar scene, though on
somewhat more modest a scale,
occurred at Bandon, twenty miles
from bere. During the light a
number of contestants on both
sides were severely cut and
bruised.
They Were Really Carried Away.
New York. Oct. . Samuel W.
Thornton and Miss Eva Jewel, are
held guiltless of any wrong by the
committee appointed by the Mount
Olivet Presbyterian church,
Brooklyn. The committee repoit
that, after careful investigation,
they believe that the two persons
above mentioned were tarri d
away by the undertow at Coney
island, rescued by a vessel and
landed ou the Florida coa9t. This
decision was unanimously adopted
yesterday, and was based on the
statements secured bv the Pv.
Junor, in Jacksonville, Fla., and
at other places.

Santiago, ChiH, Oct. 29. The
Chilian government has replied to
Minister 1-gan's demard lor an
explanation for the recent attack
upon the American sailors. The
r-ply is couched in very strong
language, and it is understood it
amounts to a refu-al to accept the
responsibility for the affair. Tbe
etste department at Washington
has been notified. Minister Egan,
Commander Schley and Consul
McCreery are consulting together,
and it is thougl t decisive action
will be taken r-oou. The state de
partment's orders in reference to
the mat er are very etrjng. The
intendeme of Va'paraiso has re
fused to guarantee the safety of
the market boats coming to thai
city early in the morning from the
C nited States warship Baltimore,
or the safety of the officers of that
vessel coining ashore at night
There is a practical boycott on the
Laltimoie. No American sailors
are allowed ashore. Great excite
ment has been caused here by the
report that the Chilian legation in
Washington had been attacked.
LOVED A CHEERFUL LIAR.
Henry Vlllard'a Experience With
Seattle Railroad Hen.
Henry Yillard, the railway
magnate, while in reattle Tuesday,
eavs the Press-Times, visited most
of the railwav offices in the city.
He walked up to the counter of the
down-town Northern Pacific ticket
ollice and said to Ticket Ag?nl
Johnson, who had not the slight
est ilea that tie stood in the
presence of the highest official on
his road :
"Give me a ticket to Boston
oertbe Canadian Pacific."
"Canadian Pacific's blocked,"
laconically responded Johnson.
"Don't believe it," said Yillard.
tacty athrmed Johnson.
"How?" inqu red Yillard.
"Mountain leli on track, cutting
tunnel halt a mile long.'
i ii investigate, said ine
financier, as be asked Mr. Jacob
Fur h to await hs return, and
started over to the Canadiau Pa
cific office.
Agent. McGinnis looked up from
his books, but did not recognize
Yillard.
"Want to gj lo Boston over the
Northern Paciffc," said Yillaid
briefly.
Can t do if," said Mcuinnis.
"Why?"
"Four feet of sand en the road
at Pas-jo, Lake Pend d'Oreille over
flowed and Indians on the war
path in Dakota."
"Anything ehe .
"Yes. Gang of train robbers
near Helena. ProhibiMon in force
in Dakota and a strike on the
Eastern division.
"Jewhillkers," exclaimed il-
lard. 'Think I'll go and try the
Union I'acilic then, lhats all
right ain't it."
"Yes. that's all right," sarcasti
cally observed McGinnis, who
stopped telephoning to Johnson for
assistance. "That's all right, I
said," continued McGinnis again.
with a sort of lost-hope move of
the hand, as his supposed cus
tomer was about to leave.
"What do you mean?" inquired
Vdlard.
"Oh, nothing. Goon and take
the U. P. You'll see time enough
if you live through it."
"Olt, good morning, Mr. John
son," said McGinnis, greetirg his
ally as if he had not seen In in lor a
month. "Have you any tidings of
your father jet. Would you mind
telling this gentleman what you
know about him?"
Johnson, after struggling with
his feelings and wiping away sev
eral imaginary tears, spoke up,
sorrowfully:
"It pains me to speak of it, but
my father started west six months
ago over the Union Pacific. He
died on the way of course, and we
hopa to receive bis corpse before
Christmas."
"Well done boys," said Yillard
after a hearty laugh, and handing
each agent his card,
"When the Canadian Pacific fails
to appreciate your services, come
over and SCO Mr. McGinnis."
"Johnson," he said laying bis
hand on that gentleman's shoulder
iu a fatherly manner, ''tome day
you will take my place."
Independent Weetern Pottmnater.
A story recently published in the
Independent recalls to a promi
nent mining man an incident in
the early days of Pony, which, by
the way, is an o'd camp. At the
time referred to the town bad
about forty people. Of course tbey
needed a postotfice, though no one
could be found willing to take the
responsibility. Thire was no
money in it and the office would
be a decided nuisance to the post
in ister. However, a saloon keeper,
who was more public spirited than
his fellow citizens, took ihe office.
Tne office consisted of an old tea
box, in which all tbe mail was
dumped. The citizen would sort
over the lot and take what be
longed to him.
One day a gentleman came along
and after glancing at the system
turned to the postmaster.
"Don't vou know that It is
illegal to allow people to pick out
their own mail like that?" he
sfci I.
Well, stranger, I don't know as
it is any of your business how this
ollice is run,'' replied the post
master. "But I am a United States post
office inspector."
"Well, in that case," said the "
postmaster, "we will finish up this
oostottice in Pony right now." And

with a good run, came down and

I'arnellltet Confident ef Beoeeea.
Cork, Oct. 29. Both parties
boast this morning of their ability
to carry the election, but the Mc
Carthyites, although working
earnestly, do not seem to be so
confident. The Parnellites have
so far shown themselves in the
majority in the street fights, and
but for police and military pro-
tection the McCarthyites would
have been driven out of Cork. Tbe
Parnellite element, however, iu-
chides many non-voters, whose
na nes were stricken off tbe roll
during the severe canvas of last -autumn.

London, Oct. 29. The 50th
birthday of the Prince oi Wales
falls on November 9, and prepar
ations are being made to have it
royally celetr-ited. The corpor
ation of the city of London is tak
ing steps to ascertain what tbe
prince would like to do on the oc
casion and whether he would be
satisfied with an address in a gold
box or some more substantial
donation. Orders have already
been issued to give the army and
navy something out of the usual
line, an 1 the grenadiers at Windsor
will probably have a dinner Ibey
can eat for that day at least. The
prince is said to be hesitating as to
whether he will court publicity of
the occasion, and his personal
friends nh ser that he is not at
all r iiid of his age, and especially
in view of the fact that his
mother's health is particularly
good and her chances of life are at
least tqual to those of Mr. Glad
stone when he was her age.
