CHIIpS RETOLUTIoN.

The Insurgents in Controi--LootinG and
Turning Foreign Residents Except
Italians are Safe--The President Must
Resign.
LONDON, Jan. 23.-A dispatch from
Buenos Ayres received in the city states
that information has been received there
from Chill to the effect that Valparaiso,
Iquique, Coquimbo and Plea continue
in state Of blockade.
The dispatch adds that the insurgents
are masters of the situation. They have
seized Tarapaca and have sacked all the
stores containing, or supposed to con-
tain arms and ammunition in Val
paraiso.
The insurgents will consent to allow
the port of Valparaiso to be reopened to
commerce, provided the foreign consuls
maintain neutral attitude.
The general opinion throughout
Chill according to the advices received
at Buenos Ayres seems to be that unless
President Balmaceda promptly resigns
the whole Of the military forces of Chill
will rise in revolt against his authority.
1t is added that foreigners residing in
Chill are safe from molestation except
the Italian residents who are accused by
the Balmaceda party of having openly
and secretly encouraged the revolution.

Chester Tair viii Probably close.

The stockholders of the Chester
County Agricultural Society spent five
hours, at West Chester, Pa, Monday,
discussing the future Of the society.
The question was whether the society
shall close up or not. Many
stockholders want to continue the
fair and $500 was pledged Monday
afternoon, to help along with fair next
fall. A vote on the matter was then
taken, but it was not decisive, as only
ABA shares Of the 1900 were voted on.
OF those who voted, 272 We're for sell
ing the grounds and closing out the
affairs of the society, and 1862 were for
continuing the fair. A committee was
appointed to make thorough investl-
CATION of the matter and report at a
future meeting. The indications are
that the end Of the society is close at
hand,

He Was Guilty of Far More Serious
Offences Than Delanater, But Has
Escaped Punishment.

He Was Guilty of Far More Serious
Offences Than Delanater, But Has
Escaped Punishment.
New York Evening Post
The Importance of the late Pennsyl-
vana election to Quay and Delamater
was more fully revealed by the arrest Of
Delamater and all the members of his
firm, on charge of embe2zlcmert, pre-
ferred by the county commissioners,
based on his having received the county
money on deposit after he knew that he
was insolvent. Ii he had been elected
governor, not only would the hellsh
designs of the Golden Club and the
Mugwumps against the tariff have been
foiled, but Quay would have easily
"tided over" the financial difficulty.
Quay knew how to do it, because he had
done it already. The starting of this
criminalpursuit of Delamater raises anew
the question how it was that in great
commercial state like Pennsylvania no
one was ever found to prosecute Quay
for more serious offences than Della
matters. Dclamater, being in the bank
ing business, received public money on
deposit Which he had much reason 10
believe he would not be able to pay
back when called for. But it was easy
fora man in his position to deceive him
self about this, and to persuade himself
that something would turn up in his
business before the money was called
for, to help him out Of the difficulty,
But Quay, not being in the bank
ing or any other business,
went boldly to the treasury, and took
what he wanted, just like bank rohber
who knocks down the cashier, orthrows
pepper in his eyes when left alone in
the bank at dinner time. This has been
known for years by scores of reputable
business men in Philadelphia, and vet
no attempt has been made TO bring the
offender to justice. Not only this, but
the state which Quay robbed has gone
on heaping honors on him, and now
that he has been fully found ont he re-
talns his senatorship and his chairman
ship of the national Republican COM
mittce, while poor Delamater, his CON
federate and subordinate, goes to Jail.
And yet his party claims, as Mr. Henry
9, Lea remarks, "the major portion of
the intellect and culture Of the land"
II il could only now work in among
"tac intellect and culture" a little com
mon honesty, what party il would be

New York Herald
Senator Hoar wrote an article for the
Youths C0mpdRioR of November 18th,
1890, in which he said
In this assembly, (thc Senate) speech is
absolutely nnfettered. Every measure can
he discussed fully without restraint and
amended without limit. This is Of i'm
mensc Importance, not only To the per-
fection Of legislation, but also to the
dignity Of the Senate, and, in my opinion,
to civil liberty itself.
AT this moment, however, Senator
lIoar is himself trying to pass gag law
for that very body whose freedom Of
debate he so highly eXtolled.
The principle which two months ago
he advocated as Of immense Importance
he now utterly repudiates.
The rights which he then defended as
necessary to the perfection of legislation
he now whistles down the wind.
Nothing is more clear than that sound
common sense controlled him then and
that his malignant hatred of the south
furnishes the motive of his present
action.

almost severed from his body. One arm
was crushed. He was brought to the

BRUSSELS, Jan. 26,-The court goes
into mourning for Prince Baudouin for
three months. 1t is stated that the real
cause of the princes death was internal
varials a hew form Of disease observed
here lately. The king has ordered that
the fact of the princes death be con
cealed from his aunt, Princess
Charlotte, the ex-empress of Mexico.
The report that the Princess
Henriette, who is seriously ill
had been informed of the death of
her brother, Prince Baudouin, proves
entirely incorrect. The physicians at
tending the princess refused to allow
her to be subjected to the risk of the
consequence of the shock which the
news Of her brothers. death would cause
her. The painful intelligence will prob
ably be communicated to the princess on
Tuesday by her mother.

How the Great Traveller Looks and
Talks to His Audience.

Aalks 10 Ills Audience.
The christian Union says Of Henry
M. Stanley, who lectured at the
Grand Opera House last evening:
Mr.. Stanley's figure, face, and bearing
are in harmony with his achievements.
Like many men of great physical endur-
ance, he is small and compact of statue,
and quick, agile, and energetic in his
movements. His eye is dark and very
expressive. It is the eye of authority,
and one can imagine how directly and
with what magical effect the will at
times flashes through it its immovable
determination.
His figure and bearing are full of vi
tality and force; one needs but to see
him move to read in his quiet, resolute
authoritatiyeaction and gesture the tenn
permanent Of one born to command. The
thick hair, whitened by these recent ter
rible years, gives the head striking eff
fectiveness.
Like all sincere speakers, to whom
truth and conviction are foremost, Mr..
SANKEY'S manner on the platform is
simple and devoid Of ali appearance OF
self-consciousness. He gives the i'm
preston of being anxious to get at his
task and be done with it. He makes
few gestures and carries himself easily,
at times showing a little tendency to
"slouchincss" He is on good terms
with his audience, but he is not specially
interested in their Judgment Of this
particular performance; he is sensitive
about his work, but the telling of the
story is secondary matter. He would
like to please his audience, but he will
not be very unhappy if he fails to win
their applause. This is an admirable
quality i'll speaker; man cannot ie-
spect his audience too highly, but the
man who is anxious about the verdict
of his listeners does not believe pro-
fOnndlY in the thinms he is snvinr

BRUSSELS, Jan. 23.-Prince Baudouin,
nephew of King Leopold and heir to the
throne of Belgium, is dead. He died in
this city at 8 O'clock this morning. The
cause of his death is alleged to have
been an attack of bronchitis.
The death of the prince has caused a
tremendous sensation and creates con-
sternation in all classes in Brussels.
There are all sorts of rumors circulate
ing as the public was entirely unaware
that the prince was ill.
Prince Baudouin Leopold PHILIPPINE
Marie Charles Antoine Joseph Lewis
was the son of the Count of Flanders.
brother of King Leopold. Prince Bau.
douin was born in this city on June Sd,
1868. He was captain of Belgian car
Diners and captain of Prussian cav
airy, being attached to the second regi-
ment of Hanoyerian Dragons.
BRUSSELS, IAN 23.-Ihe sudden death
of Prince Baudouin has caused the most
alarming rumors to be circulated on all
sides and these rumors grew in import
as the day progressed. 1t was openly
asserted that the death of the popular
Belgium prince was repetition. of the
sad circumstances surrounding the death
of the Archduke Rudolph, the heir to
the Austrian throne, who met his death
in such mysterious manner on jan
uary Both, 1889.
1t is added that a beautiful German
goyerness who had been recently ban
ished from the Belgian court by order
of King Leopold had been in some way
connected with the death of Prince
Baudouin. Rumor also has it that there
had been an intrigue lasting long time
between the goyerness and the prince
and the result of there liason is said to
have been the birth of child.
In any case the death of Prince
Baudouin is surrounded with mystery
and speculation. The court physician
in the death certificate announces that
Prince Baudouin's death was caused by
hemorrhage following severe attack of
bronchitis. The physicians also assert
that the prince caught chill while
watching at the bedside of his sister,
the Princess Henrietta, who has been
i'll for some time past. But these state
ments are far from convincing the
people that the real cause of the death
of Prince Baudouin has been given to
the public and the startling rumors
already referred to are popularity be-
lieyed to be founded on solid basis of
fact of some description.
kilograms and messages of condol-
ence with the royal family Of Belgium
in this, their great sorrow, are already
reaching Brussels from all parts of
Europe, among the dispatches received
being words Of sympathy from Queen
Victoria and the Prince and Princess of
Wales.
The brother Of Prince Bauduoin,
Prince Albert Leopold Clement Marie
Meinrad, who was born April Sth, 1873,
is now heir to the throne of Belgium.
Prince Albert is studying under the di-
rection of number Of tutors in prepa-
ration for passing his examinations
