The following letter We publish with
the kind permission of Mr.. Lucy, to
whom it is addressed. 1t seems to be n
straightforward and honest opinion of
the South American mining district by
miners who are capable of Judging for
themselves which of the two countries
is the better.
lQufoUE, Chilli, South America,
June 10, 1889.
DEAR FRIEND JACK: For Gods sake
stay away from here or any other part
of South America and advise all your
friends to do the same. We arrived here
about ten days ago after being ninety
days on tho passage and were ready to
return the next day.
This is the principal mining district of
the South American continent, and the
mines are all worked by natives, who
are very poorly paid. The country is
nothing but a perfect desert, with
vegetation or drop of water for hun
dred and fifty miles into the interior,
They haul condensed water for that dis
tance to the mines. Without Il doubt
the ore is very rich, and all the miners
are searched as they come out from
work. A white man has no chance to
do anything unless Inc can speak Spanish
and then he might get in as major domo
and receive $40 per month in Chill
money, on which there is As per cent
discount for gold.
We are perfectly lost here and will
soon leave. There are very few English
speaking people here, and those chiefly
English aristocracy, who won't look at
poor man. | and Dave walked the
town over on our arrival for three hours,
asking every light-complcxioned man
that we met for the poStofiiCe before we
met one that could savee. The natives
are just the same as the North Amcri.

| was up on the Pampas to the mines
three times but all to no avail. Dave
is sick to-day and insisted on my writ
ing to you, which am pleased to do to
keep any more good boys from getting
fooled and | know YOU want to hear
from us. We are thinking seriously OF
taking the next steamer for Panama but
have not decided yet. Stay where you
are, boys, you are in the best country in
the civilized world. 1t is impossible
for white men to compete with
native labor. You will see men carry
ing sacks which average 400 pounds each
on their heads, containing saltpetre, from
the warehouses to the sCows, and walk
ing waist deep in water for twelve hours
day. They live principally on beans
and only two meals of them day.

WIND AND WATER.
The Question of Water and Water
Rights TaLsn Up.


Mr.. Dyer took the chair and called
upon the sergeant.at-arms to preserve
order.
Section of the report was taken up
as follows;
SECTION 1. That the water of every
natural stream not heretofore appropri-
ated within the state of Washington is
hereby declared to be the property of
the public and the same is dedicated to
the use of the people of the state, SUBJ
ject TO appropriation as hereinafter pro-
vided.
Il. Fl. Sullivan, Mires, Warner, Pow
er, Goodman and Sturdevant debated
the legal aspect Of this case as to the
right to turn a natural stream entirely
from its channel (Which 1t seemed
evident was contemplated by this sec
tion) and thus deprive settlers on that
stream of their rights to nse of the water.
Apprehensions OF danger were expressed
by several speakers, and the absence of
so many members was referred to.
Mr.. Sturdevant said II was short ar
ticlc, but might be ffnught with good
deal of serious consequence to the people
OF the state, so he moved that tho com
mittee rise and report progress. So

Mrs. Foster on Prohibition.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster,
of Iowa, chairman of the Woman's National
Republican committee and well known as a
Republican Prohibitionist, was in this city
to-day on her way home from Rhode Island.
Speaking of the recent defeats in the east,
she said it was new evidence of the power
and extent to which the liquor traffic
has depraved the people of this country.
She denied that there had been a genuine
test in Rhode Island and New Hampshire
but added that in Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania the contest was fair. The Repub-
lican party in both states, said she, de-
clared for submission and redeemed its
pledges. 1.-THE campaigns, - she said, ''were
necessarily non-partisan. No political
party is responsible for the success of this
political moral question" Temperance
people, Mrs. Foster said, will keep right
on the old lines of moral suasion works,
and when the time is ripe and
wont, and the assumptions of the
liquor power in politics reach
a point beyond endurance, an outraged
people win sweep this American ogligarchy
from the country. prohibition work, "
said Mrs. Foster twill not be abandoned
and all other legislative measures will be
as transient as they believe this to be su-
perficial"
When asked if she was opposed to ma
tional prohibition, she replied: 81 believe
it will be some time before being accom-
plished, but believe it will come when
the ground is prepared for action"

General Butler ON Admiral Porter.

New YORK, June 22-The Herald will
print to morrow four-column letter from
General Butler, in which he pro
duces the facts and official re-
cords to prove his charges of
cowardice against Admiral Porter in the
siege of New Orleans, which charges
have been made public and have been the
subject of long controversy among the prin-
cipals. Admiral Porter has been quoted as
saying that one of the officers ran away,
but he would not give his name. ''There
was no officer who ran away save Porter"
says Butler. To the statement that he had
a letter from Gideon Welles, thanking him
for his efforts, and saving that but for
his, POrters exertions, Farragut could not
have captured New Orleans, General But
Ter says Welles' letter was only drawn
out and founded upon Porter's
own false and bombastic account.
written and dispatched while he was at
Pitstown on the 25th of April. Butler
asks why the fact that this report was
written twenty-five miles down the river
from the forts was concealed from the
secretary. In conclusion Butler says

DUTY ON LEAD ORES.
To be Determined by the Relative
Weight of the Metals.
CONNECTICUPS BALLOT REFORM.
The Governor Signs the Secret Ballot Bill-A
Nez Perces Indian Protests In Person
Against MOntieth's Appointment.

r WASHINGTON, June 22.-Secretary Win
dom has determined to settle as soon as
possible all the important tariff questions
which have been raised during his incum-
bency. The principal questions are relat-
ing to the classification of lead ores contain
ing silver; drawbacks on jutting and the
classification of Canadian built cars used
on American railroads In regard to the
former question, it is learned he has re-
ceived reports from special agents
sent to the Mexican border for the
purpose of investigating the subject
of the importation of lead ores
from Mexico, and that extensive frauds
have been practiced, and thep payment of the
proper amount of duties on this commodity
has been systematically evaded. These re
ports will have great weight in the settle
ment of the question at issue, and it is be-
lieved at the department that the dutlable
value of imported ores containing lead and
silver must be determined by the relative
weight of the two metals, instead OF by
their relative value, as under the present
practice. Secretary Window said this
afternoon, speaking of the conference,
that they had reached conclusions on sew
eral questions under considerations, but
they would not be in shape for public
announcement before next week.

THE POETIC BANK CASHIER.

1t was in Indianapolis, or somewhere
around there. He was trusted clerk in
the bank, with all the usual Sunday school
connections and religious reputation. 1t
was big bank, where the directors took
special note of character. The cashier died
and they gave him the vacant post. He
was man of feeling and had great deal
of poetry and originality besides. He was
deeply touched by the death of his friend,
whose place he took. So he took page
of the cash book where his friends ac-
counts closed, ruled it around in artistic
style with broad bands of black, and in the
center he wrote a beautiful, touching
poetic, obituary which brought tears to the
eyes of the president and the board Of
directors. They were deeply impressed.
Later they came a little dispute between
the board and himself touching extraordi-
nary difference in the balance between what
they thought it ought to be and what he
found it was. He left, and they turned
back to read that beautiful obituary again.
Opposite that feeling tribute they found on
the first page of his career two mistakes"
which were much against the bank and
to the cashiers advantage.-San Francisco

CHICAGO, June 22.-George E. Brooks, a

his sweetheart, and saw three men loading

men dumping the contents of the trunk
into the catch basin in which the body of
Cronin was found. He said he saw the
men and female companion, and would be
able to identify them. Brooks explanation
of his failure to tell his story before is that
he was afraid of losing his life, as he be

were so desperate that they would kill any
one they thought would turn up as wit
