WASHINGTON, November 2.-Patrick

State Department that the authorities of
Chill have, at his solicitation, pardoned
John Welby Lindsay Armstrong, a citizen
of Maine, convicted in the Chilian courts of
homicide eight years ago and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment.
Minister Egan says that Armstrong was
mate of a vessel on which while she was in
the harbor at Valparaiso, fight occurred
among the sailors. Armstrong shot one of
the men, but pleaded that he did it in self
defense. However, he was convicted and
sentenced as stated. Under the circum-
stances and because of the fact that up to
the time of the commission of the homicide
Armstrong had borne an unblemished repu-

WHISKY SMUGGLERS.
A Gigantic System OF Illicit Importation
Into Canada.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-A dispatch to the Times
from Montreal says: The gigantic frauds on
revenue discovered in Quebec are the sensation
OF the hour. The customs officials estimate
that the federal treasury was defrauded last
year by whisky smugglers at Quebec alone Of
a considerable sum in excess Of $3.50 900. The
seizures thus far in this vicinity foot I'D III
barrels OF fifty gallons each upon which the
duty should be S2.60 per gallon. This would
make $l40, 600 that smugglers would have pock-
eted. A prominent local business man stated
Yesterday that the illigitimate trade done here
amounted in all probability to one-third OF the
importation at Quebec, much of the contraband
whisky being landed at various river side
parishes all the way up from the gulf and es-
pecially on islands in the ST. Lawrence, where
large deposits, in one place alone 200 barrels,
have been seized. The spirits so far seized
sre principally high wines of greater strength
than Canadian standard and supposed to be Of
American manufacture. So far none has been
found In possession OF merchants here, though
there is little doubt that there are merchants at
the bottom Of these smuggling operations
Rumor Is at present busy with the name Of more

however, that his instructions are to proceed

he caused the first batch of summonses to be
issued from the police court here returnable on

found and against whom there are two charges
claiming penalty of $500.

THE FOREIGN BUDGET.
SIR HENRY.


LONDON, Nov. 20.-Continuing his speech in
behalf OF the Times before the Parnell COM
mission today Sir Henry James referred to the
fight of Patrick ESan as proof of criminal con-
duct and declared that there was other proof
OF his association with the Phoenix park muir
derers. He next referred to Byrnes' alleged
completely in the murders while he was acting as
secretary for the Parnellite party. Abiding
to the suppression of the leagues books Sir
Henry said he did not wish to direct suspicion
against Mr.. Lewis nor to make allegations
against him. Still, he could not help thinking
that that astute gentleman had been imposed
upon regarding the missing book. If the COM
mission could have got the books they would
have been found to contain records showing
that Byrnes and other members of the Par
nellite party were connected in a financial
way with the Invincibles. The defense put for
ward by Sir Charles Russell on this aspect Of
the case was open to the gravest suspicion.

An Elevated Road Into the Heart of
the City to be Used.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-A morning paper init
mates that the Baltimore and Ohio is endeavor-
ing to secure an independent entrance to this
city by utilizing an ordinance passed last spring
granting a franchise for an elevated road be-
tween Wabash avenue and State street far
north as Van Buren, street close to the business
heart Of the city. The Baltimore and Ohio at
present secures entrance over the tracks of the
Illinois Central, but has been notified to find
other facilities. The matter is in the courts,
and so far the case has gone against the Balti-
more and Ohio, SO that the prospects are that
1t will have to vacate its present quarters.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 20.-In regard to the

president of the Baltimore and Ohio, states
that his road knows nothing OF
an elevated railroad franchise in Chicago
and is making no arrangements to secure any.
There is no trouble between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Illinois Central over terminals.
difference exists between the roads regard
Ing a small piece OF ground which the Illinois
Central thinks the Baltimore and Ohio is not
entitled to under their agreement, but this does
not affect the Baltimore and Ohio's terminals
at all.

New YORK, Nov. 20. - There was de-

this morning, and first prices as compared with
last nights figures were generally from Is to II
higher on a moderately large volume of busi-
ness. The weakness in sugar refneries was
continued, but failed to have any influence
upon the rest OF the market, and general up
ward movement took place. which was generally
confined to fractional amounts except in Lack
awanna, which rose per cent, and Tennessee
Coal, and Denver, Texas and Forth Worth,
which advanced 2 and u respectively. Union
Pacific and Rock Island led the rest OF the list
with advances of q each. Sugar declined IL
to 6S5l but the downward movement was soon
checked, and almost the entire decline was af-
terward recovered. A quieting down Of the
market followed, and, though sugar retired
fractionaiiy again, the rest of the market was
we'll held, and at IL o'clock was quiet and firm
at about the best prices reached.

the American federation of labor to indicate
the trade or trades organized within the folds
OF that society which is or are prepared 10 sue

on May l, 1880, confident that the Knights of
