Monte says: 81 am here to represent

gaI government of Chile, but it would be
lmpolltic to disclose my mission now.
cannot tell how long l will stay in the
country, but / will probably be in New

what is in the papers and learned the
feeilng toward my Government, NAV
have more to say Our Government at
Iqmque is well organized. There have
peen seven battles between the two forces
SO far. In these fights Balmaceda has
only had one genuine victory"
Inc OrLd quotes Senior Monte as say
ing: IN the southern portion of the
State, which Balmaceda and his party
hoIa py force, both the Constitution and
laws are utterly ignored. Many hum
qreuS OF the most prominent citizons
nave been imprisoned without warrant
IN Jalis and penitentiaries indiscrimi-
nately with the worst conVicts for nearly
HNe months. The courts ordered them
10 De set at liberty, but Balmaceda not
only ordered the courts not to discharge
their duty, but when they persisted in
their rights, prevented them from con-
yenlng by stationing policemen at the
doors OF the courtrooms and threatening
the Judges of the Supreme and Appellate
Courts with arrest in case they should
attempt to enter.
by decree of Balmaceda the property
OF more than fifty eminent citizens has
been contiscated. No citizen of Chile is
allowed TO leave the country without per
mission from Balmaceda. Every ship
and steamer in Valparaiso and other
ports is searched, and if any one is found
trying to get away he is Immediately
sent to prison. The most cruel tortures,
such as were practiced during the Spanish
lnqu!sition, have been inflicted indis-
criminately upon unoffending citizens.

for absolute success for our party within

To be Fought This Week by Eminent
Legal Talent.
The Davis'will contest will be a great draw
ing card at the court house in Butte thisweek.
The seating capacity of the district scu,t
room is pretty certain to be filled every day
that the case is on trial, particularly since
it has been whispered about that some sen
sational testimony in support of the claim
that the will is a forgery is to be intro
duced by the contestants, Colonel Bob In
gersoll will lend the weight of his prestige
to this cause celibre, but he will not be seen
at his best until the time comes to argue
upon the evidence produced. Judge Trim
ble of Iowa, and Judge Woolworth, of
Omaha. with Congressman Dixon OF
Butte, will defend the interests of John A.
Davis, while Toole & Wallace, Mcconnell
g. Clayberg, of Helena, Robinson d Staple
ton and Henry A. Root himself will assist
Colonel Ingersoll in the effort to break or
prove fraudulent the will of 1866. Not the
least interesting witness at the trial will be
John G. Sconce, of Arkansas, the only
living witness to the will that has been Of
fered for probate, says the Miner. Mr..
Sconce went from Arkansas to his former
home in Iowa week or so ago. and be is
very reticent old man Judging by this para
graph, which is taken from the Ottumwa
(Iowa) Press "Uncie John Sconce will
have nothing to say now regarding the
Davis will, but expects to start in about ten
days for Butte City, and at the opportune
time will talk. The old man is one of the
pioneers of Soap creek, and during this days
of Andrew j. Davis business career at
Blackhawk was quite familiar with him
and was at times employed by him. He is
especially friendly with young jeff, who
seems perfectly confident in the authentici-
to of the will, and they are together to
some extent. Sconce has been awav from
Iowa five wears and was welcomed by his
old friends and neighbors. He will leave
for Montana about February L.
The contestants in the case made another
attempt on SATURDAY. to secure another post
ponement of the hearing in the contest.
Through counsel they set up claim that
the present panel of trial jurors had been
Improperly drawn. and moved for the ap-
pointnient of jury commission in con-
formity with the amendments to the jury
law adopted by the Sixteenth legislative
assembly of the territory of Montana. In
support of the claim the affidavit of G. w.
Stapleton, one of Henry A. Roots lawyers,
was filed, to the effect that there is not now.
and has not been for some time. any jury
provided by law. The persons who now
constitute the panel we're not drawn as
provided by law, or at all since the present
judge has been in office. That the persons
who now constitute the jury to try causes
were drawn by the judge and clerk, and
were not selected by jury commission
| That there should be 300 names drawn by
commission appointed by the court.
The motions made by the contestants fol
the appointment of jury commission and
the dismissal of the present jurors Wer,
overruled by Judge McHatton.

THE New York Sun is getting little
comfort out of it's historical discoveries
that United States senators have been
nominated for president, and the deduc-
tlon therefrom that Coy. Hills promo
tlon to the senate is not necessarily
fatal. Perhaps not, but it makes Cleye-
lands chances better The fact that
Hills accession to the presidency would
almost certainly mean the election of a
republican to succeed him in the senate
would have weight IN the nomnatlng
convention. 1t has been nearly a quar-
ter OF century since New York was
represented in the senate by demo.
crat. Under the unfair legislative an.
portionment it is likely to be years be
