A telegram has be em received at the Navy Department from Captain Schley, commander of the United States steam­ ship Baltimore, at Valparaiso, Chili, giving additional details of the affray between American and Chilian sailors, in which one of the former was killed. The cablegram corroborates the facts already published and as;erts that the fight was caused by the Chilians, who, he says, made an attack on the sailors without provocation. The boatswain's mate who was killed was dragged from a street car bv tbe niob, whi h num­ bered about «ne hundred and fifty, and he died in t&e arms of .a fellow-sailor. Distrust the Heathen. It is reported that the Chinese Gov­ ernment, in view<of the threatening con­ dition of its foreign relations, especially with Russia, 4e anxious to procure Eng­ lish officers ef experience for subordi­ nate commands. This, it is believed, will be diftieult, in consequence of the bad treatment accorded to Capt Lang, who, after foaiiding up the navy to con­ siderable "efficiency, was driven into re­ signing. The Chinese Government then declared that it would never again in­ trust reii.1 authority to any foreigner, and it is hard >to find'competent foreign naval o&cers willing to serve under Chinese. , "Soft Drinks" Tabooed.

D. ) farm owned by tbe Grandin brothers, four men were killed outright and two oth­ ers so seriously hurt that they died within an hour afterward. The men were killed by the explosion of the boi er, due to the fact, it is claimed, that the engineer had allowed the water to run ('own too low. The machine had been standing still about two hours while some repairs were being made, and the explosion followed within two minutes after the engine started and tbe pump began pouring cold water into the boiler. Two of the killed were blown nearly to pieces. Two otheis were seriously injured, but will recover.

If allowed the privilege on the gallows, I will tell the people of the treatment I received at tbe hands of one whose duty it was to stay by me to the last."

A few days ago a wealthy landowner named Kaleras received a large consignment of corn, the price of which he placed at $4 per busheL When the starriag cattle- herders of the vicinity learned of his action a mob of them got together, and. proceeding to Kaleras' heme, took him out and shot him to death. M< oiiy and Sankey, the evangelists, will sail from New York for Scotland, from which country they will start to­ gether f^r a trip around the world. This is a long-tal.ked'Of .Journey, which until recently Mr. Moody intended making alone. On his return from Ch'cago he met Mr. Sankey and persuaded him to accompany him to the Holy I And They will probably be ab ent from this coun­ try about eighteen months. The object of the trip is to gain rest and a firmly seated desire to see the eastern lands and tho country written about in the book they have spent their lives studying and expounding. Upon their arriving in Scotland the evangelists will held a se­ ries of meetings as of old, after which they will start immediately for the east. Three, perhaps four, American man- of-war men were killed and several 'Oth­ ers wounded in a desperate street fight at Valparaiso, Chili, with a crowd of Chilian sailors. The Chilians did <not do all the fighting, for when the fight was ended a number of them were pretty badly hurt The American b ue jackets were from the United States cruiser Bal­ timore and the Chilians were from the various warships now in the harbor. One account of theditliculty which seems plausible Is this: Ever since the triumph of the Junta there has been a feeling among the lower c asses of hostility to the Americans, and the blue jackets from the American warships were some­ times subj< cted to insult A party of mall ditches which flow into the vino- yards, orchards or gardens The carp, being a species of suckt r and having the mouth* peculiar to that kind of fish, ucks the roots out of the banks of the ditches, causing the banks to wash out. Mr. Page got rid of the fish in some of the small ditches last year by ha'iling soil «trongly impregnated with alkali. He proposes hauling enough alkali soil next spring to the ditch banks to keep the fish away from his ditches. Besides hurting the banks the fish create a ter­ rible stench in the ditches when water stops flowing In and the fish are left there to perish in the sun. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. At Childress, Texas, the eourt-house was bunted to the ground. The county records ef Childress and Cott'e Counties are a total loss. The tire is supposed to have been tbe work of ince&diaries. Loss, $42,00a A conviction for a murder Mtnmlt- ted twenty-two years ago occurred ia the Criminal District Court in New Or­ leans. The accused is William Rede- foux, an aged and feeble negro, and the crime for which he will spend the re­ mainder oi his life in the penitentiary was the killing of Henry Porter at Gen- tilly Road, August lH(iy. A curious phase of the case is that all tbe testi­ mony for the prosecution was given by negro witnesses, while a number of white persons gave, evidence that placed the identity of the prisoner entirely in doubt The jury was white. The orange crop of Louisiana, which is rapidly approaching ripening, is im­ mense; in fact, ono of the largest ever raised. Some of th trees are so laden with oranges that the branches have to be supported with props t» prevent their breaking. The crop will be picked by the end of October and is now about past any danger of damage. The orange farms are valued at #1,500 or more per acre, yielding $150 to $250 in oranges. There is little or no cultivation. The crop is so'd on the trees, to bj gathered by the purchaser, and frequently the sale is made "in the bud. " The Louisiana orange, a cross between the sweet and the sour orange, has suffered in com pari- am vitfe tbe California and Florida prop­ erty, went up with the Chilian man-«f- war men. The hatred of the "Yankees?* led to some insulting remark, which was resented by ono of the hotter-headed Americans, and this brought on the gen­ eral fight which was attended with such fatal results.

'The wonder Is that a hundred lives wore not lost, for the train of t-»n cars <w»s heavily loaded and the destru tlon of the coaches, with the exception q| two sleepers, is complete. No. 5, the ill-fated train, was made up of two sleepers, three chair cars, one smoker, one bazgage car, one express and two mail cars Many of the passtw gers were Chicagoans, but. strange to say, not one seriously Injured is from 'tnat city. The train had been running at a high rate of si ee I when, with ut a moment's warning, it was hurled off the rails and into the empty freight cars standing on the side track. All the cars except two sleeepers were overturned and com­ pletely ruined. Those passengers who were not in jured were scared out of their senses. Women s roamed and fainted, and the cries from among the debris were frightfuL Shortly afier the accident Superin­ tendent Wilson and 8uper ntendent Rice with a force of assistants arrived and bezan caring for the hurt. All those who were able to be mo.od were taken by Mr. Wilson to .Burlington, where he w II have them c^red for. • The company stafcop that the ca :so of the accident was the maMcious d sp ace- m»ntof the switch leading to the pottery works Certain it Is the open switch caused the disaster. Nobody knows how it was opened. Super.ntendent Wil­ son says seven trains passed over the line sines the switch was used. Yet after the crash one of the train officia's ran to the switch and found it partly thrown, with the lock gone and the pin out. The Super­ intendent says the switch could not liavo been partly turned and a train pass over It without being derailed, lie declares that to bo an impossibility,and states that the switch was turned between the time the seventh train passed tho switch and the hour when the express'was.due. He believes that some malicious scoundrel purposely.turned^tho switch. 8 George Courtney, tho traveling engi­ neer, was on s of the oldest employes of the road. He boarded tho engine and took a scat by tho engineer to s *e how th i locomotive, which was a brand-new one, was working. His first work for the road was done long before the war, and probably no man on the division was more popular among the men or ihoiior d witli more confidence by the com pany. There wore some remarkable escapes. Oscar Zimmerman was pitched through the window of tho smokfng car a )d was unhurt. A torriblo a eno and loss of life was prevoiitcd by the prompt action of Baggageman .loliu Dore, of Chicago who exrtingwished t|n> li&mcs that caught In tho car immediately after the crash. One of the saddest casualties occurred In tho first chair car. Cicorgo Allen, his wife, and baby woro sitting in tho front of tho car when the wr ck occurred. Mra Alien wa< thrown against the win- daw and killed. The child was hurl d across the car, but escaped injury. Mr. Allen was a'soiunhurt, but heartbroken by tho death of his wifa When the train left the main track and started on tho siding Engineer Eauery reverse I iiis engine and stuck to his post, but .the engine left the track after running a few feet on the siding, and all of the sevon cars, with the ex­ ception «f tho rear one, a Pullman sleep­ er, weatinto the d tcli. Engineer Emmery, Traveling Engineer Courtney and Fire­ man Peter Anderson went down with tho engine. The two engineers were killed insta:iUy and tio fireman is tprob- aWy fatally Injured. Tho^e in the smoking car escaped with'their iliwes. Standing on tho stops of the nc*t car were two students of Heddlng College, Frank L. Johnson, of Awan, and W. R. Harding, of Abingdon. They jmuaped, and Johnson was killed bjra b'.ow on like head from a flying timber. Few on the train cscaped without being cut by broke® glass or l.adly bruised by being thrown against scats wli u the shock came. As the train was running behind time when it rcachcd Galesbitrg, ^'©ariuctor Hughes laughingly blamed the engineer. "All right; hold on to your hats this tl •e." roplied Emery, as ho pulled the throttle and started on the ride to his death. At the time the train ran onto the open switch it wa* running at the rate of fifty mi c-; an hour. • As far as the matter has thus far been Investigated it looks as if the wrecking of tho train was the res lit of a well-laid plan, 'ihe target light had been extin­ guished, and everything tends t3 f-how that the wreck was prearranged, The road's olil« ials are look'ng for the per­ son or per.-ons who turned tho switch.

I have been grossly misrepresented as to these transactions, and 1 am prepared to maintain and shall maintain at the proper time and in the proper way the entire propriety and fair­ ness of my conduct in regard to all of them. I invite a judicial determination of any claims which may be asserted against me In behalf of the company. If the proper tribunals shall say that,. I owe nny thing to the Adams Express I shall most cheerfully pay It. I find myself in the meantime placed in a position of antagonism to a ma­ jority of the board and to the official man­ agement of the company. It is manifest that under these circumstances and during such a controversy 1 cxnnot properly take part in the deliberations of the board, and I herewith tender my resignation of the office of manager. Very respectfully, . John Hoet. A bill was filed in the United States Circuit Court In Trenton, N. J., by the new President of the Adams., Exures4 Company against John Hoey, of Long Branch. It demands an accounting by Hoey for about $750,000 taken by him which belongs to the Adams Express1 Company. It is set forth that nearly all or part ef this amount was spent to fur­ nish, build, and equip the property known as Hollywood. The property is in the name of Mrs. Hoey, but tino com­ pany claims that it was built with its money. Thero is a mortgage of $100,000 which was executed bv Josephine Hoey to the Guarantee Trust Company of Philadelphia. It was paid off by a check of the Adams Express Company. This Is alleged to be a breach of trust. The corporation asks tho court to estab­ lish by decree how far the Adams Ex­ press Company is entitled .to follow the money taken by Hoey and put Into Hol­ lywood, and asks for .a lien -on the prop- erty. - . COT OW.F THK PRESS SERVICE. The Western Union Telegraph Company Seeking Trouble with Other Corpora­ tions. The Associated Press and the Western Union '1 elegraph Company have uot been on good terms forsome time, and the other night the telegraph company cut off the three leased wires.on which the greater part Of the Associated i'ress news has been received at New York. No notice had been given of the intention to stop service. General Manager William Honry Smith hurried over to the Postal Telegraph olice. I herc he arranged to have the matter usually carried by the leased wires carried by he Postal lines. The matter usually cfrried over the Western Union general lines we.nt as usual. The law forbids a telegraph company ito refu e business offered for its general wires, no matter how badly it .may desire to do so Of theithree leased wires one carried tbe heavy Western .business and two went to ;the South. On the Western, wire were the offices at Cincinnati, Cleveland, ^Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Mil­ waukee, -tit Paul, and Minneapolis. < n (the Southern wire were Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, At'a ta, and all the larger oitios In that part of the coun­ try. These wiir.es carried about 75,000 \Wurds. The iunoontradicted story was (that the di flic ii lit v grew out of a new ar­ rangement whicih the Ass ciated Press wa-e about to make w.th the Bell Tele- phue Company. The telephone company owns excel­ lent t opper wires between al„Jhe prin­ cipal cities of tike United Stares. Not having much »so for them itself it is willing to lease tfeeim for use as telegraph line* They not oiily afford better cir­ cuits at lower rates than the Western Union lilies, but the <ompany offers cer­ tain advantages to ite lessors In the way of free telephone service. The Asso­ ciated Press, it is said, made a contract for the telephone wires beginning Nov. I. The contract with the Western Union expired the day the wires were cut The telegraph company has been anxious to renew it for a y; ar. The Assoc ated Press has held off lrom an arrangement from day to day until Nov. 1. General E^'kert is said to have discovered why the A^so iated Press did not want a year's < on tract He Imme­ diately ordered the leased wires to be shut off. The Associated Press expects to make the necessary arrangements witH tbe Postal Company to handle its matter without de'ay over the general wires. After Nov. 1, Mr. Smith thinks he will have octter leased-wire service than ever. In the meantime there will be a pretty low brewing between the Western Union and the Bell Telephone Gpmpanfc •vV BIG BATCH OF PASTE. TWO THOUSAND TONS OF FLOUR IN THE SBA; A Scheme of the Patent Me4Uptne People --Canadians Pussled Over the Question «T Puper Immigrant*--Desperate OmI Over a Girl. Flotir shippers throughout the West were greatly worried when they learned that the stean er Conemaugh had gone to the bottom of Tetroit River, the re­ sult of a collision with the steamer New York, of the Union Line. J. C. Evans, agent of the Anchor Line, stated that the Conemaugh had on board about 1,000 tons of flour from Chicago, 900 tons from Milwaukee, and about 400 tons of general freight. Turn­ ing to the steamer's manifest, it seemed as if about every shipper was repre­ sented on tbe fourteen pages of fine y written copy paper. Among the Chi­ cago firms having four on the sunken' boat, the Star and Crescent Mills were the most important. They haJ 1,550 sacks and twenty-five barrels. The ba'ance of the cargo was shipped from the following points: Alton, 300 barrels; La Crosse, 150 bar­ rels; Hannibal, 250 sacks; St Louis, 885 sacks. 150 barrels; Winona, 200 ?acks; Peoria, 1,470 sacks; Burlington, 455 sacks; Minneapolis, 1,825 sacks; Quincv, 4,400 sacks. All the flour in sacks was for export, the sacks weighing 140 and 280 i ounds. In addition to this there were 800 pigs of lead, 400 sacks of bran, 622 sacks of oilcake. Milwaukee's part of the cargo was even more varied than that shipped from Chicago Mr. Evans estimated tho value of the cargo at close to #100,000. It is believed to bo fully covered by insurance, but it is pos­ sible that some ami ng so many shippers might have overlooked the item of in­ suring their flour. This is Captain Vaughn's first season as master of the New York. He is considered'a careful and skillful navigator. . SOMETHING UKK A TRUST. Wholesale Druggists Devise Means to Keep Up Price* on Patent Medicines. The National Wbo'esale Druggists' Association at its meeting at Louisville, Ky., adopted a resolution calling upon Congress to pass a law "to protect tho public from unscrupulous imitations and counterreits of foods and medical prep­ arations sold under trade mark." 'The resolution is preceded by tho statement under a decision by Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, that the pr.sent law to punish counterfeits of trade jnarks is inoper­ ative and valueless. Tho "substitute evil" was further dis­ cussed during the day, and resolutions adopted to provide agai st it. The reso­ lutions recommend fiat proprietary medicines be sold under eight condi­ tions. Th(»se are in substance that own­ ers of proprietary medicines sell only to druggists, wholt sale dealers in proprie-. tary medicines; and established agen­ cies; wholesa'e dealers and agencies not to supply dealers on the cut of list ex­ cept at full reta 1 prices; re tail dealers agree to sell all contract or rebate articles, and further agree not to substitute another article for any article requested if such article is on the contract or rebate plan, nor deliver such goods to any dealer on the cut off list excepting at full retail prices. Names ( f all druggists who do not com­ ply with these conditions will be p'aced On the cut-off list. No manufacturer or who'esa'e druggist shall supply cut-off dealers except at full retail prices. All manufacturers and dea'ers shall refuse to sell to commission n.erchauts. brokers, or other agents on t'ie contract plan ex­ cept for export Manufacturers and wholesalers agree not to sell, except at full prices, to any retailer who w.ll not agree to sell at full retail prices. All dea'ers who vio'ate the agreement will be p aced on the cut-off list. CAN'T KEEP OUT PAUPX^RS* Canada Unable to stop the Stream of Destitute Immigrants. It will be remembered that tho Cana­ dian Minister of Agriculture took the first steps toward prohibiting the immi­ gration of pauDer Russian-Jews by rj- questing the signature of the Governor General to a proclamation carrying into effect that clause of the immigration act which prohibits the landing of destitute immigrants. The Minister of Justice, however, saw possible danger ahead, and requested that no action be taken until it was learned what decision the United States courts had rendered with regard to a case then before them as to the de'fini- tlon of the pauper Immigrant. Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justice, it is un­ derstood, held that to establish the fact of an immigraut be'ng a pauper it would first ba necessary for him to beg, and to do that he would have to land. The matter still remains in abeyance as regards the landing of pauper Jews in Canada, and it is doubtful whether, in view of the recent decision of the United States Courts, any further action will be taken under the present statute. In well-informed legal circles it is con­ t e n d e d t h a t f u r t h e r l e g i s l a t i o n o f t h ; Dominion Parliament will be necessary before any prohibitory step3 will be at­ tempted to prevent these Russian refu­ gees laudinS in Canada Resisted the Printers' Demands. The United Typothetae of America, in session at Cincinnati, approved the ac­ tion of the Pittsb rg Typothet e in re­ sisting the recent demands made by the Typographical Union of that city and pledged them hearty support in every practical form. This action possibly in­ volves a sprea 1 ef the trouble now ex­ isting in Pittsbnrg and other cities. The Typothet e of America selected Toronto as the place for the next meet­ ing to be held in August, 1892. Officers were elected as follows: President, W. O. Shepherd, Toronto; Secretary, Everett Waddy, Richmond, Va.; Treasurer, Charles Buss, Cincinnati; Executive Comm ttee, Amo< l ettibone, Chicago; Theodore L. DeVlnne, New York; C. S. Moorehouse, New Haven; W. H. Wood­ ward, St Louis; William H. Bates, Memphis; A, M. Geeseiuan, Minneapolis; N. S. Fish, Indianapolis. CURRENT COMMENT. Dr. Briggs* Case.
