CATION of Commissioner of Pensions Raum

hal done 1t faithfully and we'll He did own
some of the stock, but that fact in no man
ner could affect the integrity or the honor Of
an honest man.

RIOT AT VALPARAISO.
Stores PluGdered and Citizens Murdered by
Mnh

Mob
PANAMA, Sept. IA letter from Valpa-
Taiso. Chile, gives an account of, riOting that
characterized the recent strikes there 1t
seems that the launchmen and steyedores
struck in the morning. and soon compelled
the workmen in the Custom-house to cease
labor. The strikers demanded payment in
coin, not in notes, and this demand caused
the doors of the Custom-house to be
closed, a step which was promptly
followed by most of the business houses
throughout the city. The strikers then
formed mob and visited several manufact-
uring establishments, doing much damage.
A number of citizens appealed to the
authorities to act. but they remained pas
sive for several hours, during which rioting
and plundering was going on. Finally,
after eight men had been wounded and
twelve killed the authorities determined to
send out military piekets and defend
the public offices. BY this time the
mob, which had divided in three
sections, was busily engaged in plundering
and destroying the stores in the streets not
visited IN the morning, compelling workmen
In all places to quit and fighting where they
resisted. AT bakery in one street twelve
men were killed. The bakery ard several
adjoining stores were sacked. Finally a
picket Of soldiers appeared and asked the
plunderers TO withdraw. As they did not do
so the soldiers withdrew. Similar scenes were
at the same time being enacted in othe,
quarters Of the city. Railway shops were
completely destroyed, as well as manufac-
turies in the vicinity, and their contents
thrown into the sea. While the mob was
engaged in sacking the National Biscuit
Factory a picket arrived, and the mob not
retiring, opened fire, killing one of the riot
ers and wounding four others. BY this
time, however, the crowd numbered at
least 10000, and although repeatedly
charged by the police who employed sabreS,
it stood its ground, although some twenty
of its members were killed and others
seriously wounded. Viewed from the beach
the scene on the hill was horrible. as the
police were seen, sabres in hand, charging
here and there. The mob offered some re-
sstance and wounded some policemen.
But order was temporarily restored with
the assistance of the reinforcement of the
fresh pickets and by stationing another
company of artillery near the railway
station.
By o'clock in tie afternoon the mob had
almost disappeared to drinking-shOps and
Proggeries. At the time the foregoing scenes
were being enacted, many others Of SINH

lar class were in progress in other part s.
At o'clock this evening q body of police
men charged on the mob and made five
prisoners. At the same time a band Of
rioters passed through Victoria street smash
ing doors, windows, lamps, ETC., and crying
"Pillage, pillage." They plundered many
houses During the night the streets were pa
trolled by troops. At 7:20 p NJ. cavalry
pickets made several charges in the
Amandral, where stores were being
sacked. In Condell street the mob
attacked some jewelry-stores. The pickets
arrived after all was over. At 9:30
o'clock P. NJ. trains arrived with
a battalion commanded by General Valdi-
yieso, and subsequently corps Of 800 strong.
The 1ntendente and Commander of Police
had almost fraternized with the strikers. On
the hills around Valparaiso many outrages
and robberies have been committed. AT
Santiago somewhat similar rioting occurred
at the session of the Deputies.
