"What," was asked, edo you think OF
the prospects of war between Chile and
this country?"
"There is, think, no fear Of such a
contingency. The authorities at Wash
ington probably realize that patience
must be exercised in dealing with a
country that has just emerged from a
bloody revolution, and whose affairs,
in consequence, are in badly
unsettled condition. There is no doubt
that ample reparation will be made for
the killing of the men from the Balti-
more, and an investigation is now going
on. The dispatches sent here, accusing
the police of Valparaiso of participa-
ton in the killing, denounce as false.
1t is we'll known fact that the police
of Chile are armed with wooden clubs,
and carry no pistols and knives at any
time. The fact is the attack was the
work of mob composed probably of
the lower classes, who are bitter in their
feeling toward this country"
what has led to this feeling?"
"Well, mainly, / should say, the action
of Admiral Brown spying upon the
movements of the insurgents and fur
nishing Balmaceda with information.
That this is true will assert most posi-
lively. and know that the admiral in
formed Balmaceda OF the strength of the
insurgent forces which were landed at
Quintero bay.
II anticipate that affairs in Chile from
this time on will move smoothly. Con-
gress will meet on the 18th of the pres
ent month at Santiago, and one of their
acts will be to make certain amendments
to the constitution, which, if made long
ago, would have rendered unnecessary
the late uprising"

An Important Case Pending in the Uni
ted States Court.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. GA case
involving the entire silver-lead export
ing industry of Mexico into the United
States, was heard on appeal by
Judge Pardee, of the United
States circuit court today, and
taken under advisement. About a
year ago two carloads of ore was ship
ped by j. F. Matthews Of Monterey,
Mexico, to E. H. Chichester, through
the port OF Eagle Pass, where the col
lector OF customs held it for non-pay-
ment of the $50 per ton duty on all ores
classified as silver-lead. The consignee
held that the ore should be classified as
silver and admitted duty free. He ap-
pealed from the decision of the collector
to the United States board of appraisers
in New York, to rate the classification
and assessment of duty. The board de-
cided in favor of Chichester. The Sec
retary OF the treasury appealed from the
decision OF the appraisers to the circuit
court, and Judge Pardee today reviewed
the case. He will render decision to-
morrow.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The cover.

the peasants will soon be without food,
and that ], 800, 900 pools of grain are re.

The condition of st. Petersburg money
market is causing grave apprehension.
There are rumors affecting the stability
of ten banking houses, some of which
are considered the soundest in the city.
Finance Minister Vishnegradsky's g order
that all foreign accounts for October be
paid in cash has greatly embarrassed
many bankers, who are obliged to pledge
government securities to raise funds.
Rouble exchange and government stock
continue to fall steadily, and everything
indicates that crisis is impending.

Rioters are sentenced to receive 500

The Moscow Gazette demands the for

which it sets forth would prevent con-
ficting policies leading to famine.
LONDON, Nov. 6.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of The Times telegraphs
that he learns from the best sources that
heavy export taxes will be imposed on
wheat three weeks hence. All the min

of finance, favored total prohibition Of
expectation. Therefore a modification
is still possible. The long warning given
exporters will result in active trade in
the meantime. Vishnegradsky is seek

recent drop in Russian securities in
Paris.

THE JAPAN EARraoUAKE.
An Official Dispatch Says $500 People
Were Killed.

WASHINGTON, November GA tele-
gram from the Japanese government was
today received by Tateno, Japanese
minister, giving an account of the earth
quake which occurred in Japan on the
2Sth of October. 1t seems from this re-
port that the damage caused by the
earthquake was confined almost entirely
to the procedures Of Aichi and Gifu.
Nagoya is the chief city in Hichi pre-
lecture and has population of 10000,
and there are very large cities in Gifu
prefecture. No mention is made of any
damage in any other parts Of Japan.
According to this information $500 per-
sons were killed, 5000 were injured, 75,-
600 houses were totally destroyed and
1000 badly damaged.

SEAFARING CITIES.

Carthage and Venice In tho South and
Lubbock In tho North.
The life by ca was the very life OF
Carthage Who tho Romans before the
last sioge mado it condition OF peace
that Carthage should be forsaken and
some point ten miles from tho sea oc-
cupied instead, every Carthaginian felt
it as sentence of death. Athens could
not DO great without her feet; but sho

moment q scattered dominion somewhat
OF tho samo kind as the dominion of
Carthage; but it was only for a moment.
No other city of old Greece, no other
city of her own Phnnician stock, comes
near enough to her to admit oven of con-
trast. The modiDval world supplies
nearer parallels. Among cities of our
own race, as VIC arc tempted to call
Bern tho Toutonic Rome, SO arc we
tempted to call Lubbock tho Teutonic
Carthage. But neither Lubbock nor any
of her Hanseatic sisters fully repro
duce the old Phnnican model. They
are mighty on the sea, mighty for trade,
mighty for warfare; but their special
character was to DO mighty in both
ways, to strike terror and to boar rule
without forming any thing which could
be called territorial dominion. Far
nearer to Carthage are the later seafar-
ing cities Of her own Mediterranean
waters, Genoa in some measure, Venice
in higher. Venice indeed is the near
est reproduction of Carthage that the
world has seen. She too united trade
and dominion; she ruled from her is

Giddincss from Deep breathing.

The effect upon the brain of taking
deep inhalations is not to cause rush
of blood to the head, but to diminish
the action of the heart and lessen the
pressure of blood. The blood is thus
drawn into the chest cavity from all
parts of the body, including the brain
as well as the eXtremities. So it will
be understood that sensation of giddi-
ness is not the result of rush OF blood
to the head, but of drawing away of
the blood into the head. Holding
the breath drives the blood
into the brain although tax
ing deep breath has just the opposite
effect. IL. Kellogg, NJ. d.
