house cat that is good aud true and does net
sing at midnight, but Lemusl became tired
OF him, and the other day thought he would
put him where the woodbne twineth. He
dug deep little grave in the garden, near

Being tender hearted man he plotted an
Easy death for puss. He soaked sponge
In ohloroform, tied 1t about the cate nose,
put him In an empty barrel, and eet The bar
rel on its open end. In Is minutes he tipped
the barrel over, and there lay puss, with
his claws peacefully folded across his breast,
and wearing life-llke and resigned express
sion. Tnen he immured the Cat in the &C.
puchre and tramped the earth down over
him, went into the house and felt solemn
and guilty for half so hour. At the end of
that period be heard lively oaterWauling
in the garden and gaucing out OF the kitch-

HE GETS AWAY.
Balmaoeda Makes His Escape
from Chill.
rendered Refuge by Admiral Brown,
He Sails on the San Francisco,
Disguised as a Drunken Tar
HIDDEN IN VALPARAISO.

VALPARAISO, Sept. l6.-As a drunken
sailor Balmaceda gets away from Chilli.
His disguise was furnished by Admiral
Brown, and the ex-president is now
aboard the San Francisco on the high
seas. 1t was a perilous plan, but
proved a success. During all the time
his foes We're guarding mountain
passes and searching monas-
teries in hopes to catch him he
was hidden in Valparaiso. Inn
mediately after his arrival on the
United States flagship a cabin aft was
placed at his disposal and nobody was
allowed there. Admiral Brown did
what all the other foreign admirals
would have done under similar circum-
stances. He stepped in to save posi-
bly, human life. In the name of
humanity he consented to afford Bal
maceda the shelter of his ship and the
protection of the stars and stripes.
To effect the ex-president's escape it
was decided to have Balmaceda dis
guise himself as drunken United
States sailor. The clothing was sent
ashore in market boat Sunday night
by order of Admiral Brown. 1t was
Struggled by one of Balmaceda's faith
full adherents into the house where Bal
maceda was in hiding. He carefully
donned it, and after a close inspection of
his new and strange attire, to see
that there was nothing about the
get-up which would arouse suspicion,
he stole out by a rear entrance into the
street. Nightfall favored his disguise
and he had studied his part so well
that he feigned a drunken tar to per-
lection. In his way toward the water
front he rolled by many men who
would have been delighted to have had
the chance to seize and turn him over
to the police authorities.
In time he reached the spot in the
harbols that had been arranged upon.
There he found a boat awaiting him.
1t was manned by sturdy United States
man-of. wars-men. Balmaceda, still
maintaining mis- disguise, made his
final drunken stumble and fell into
the boat 1t was pushed off at once,
and in short time the eX-president,
all signs of inebriety at an end,
climbed swiftly up the ropes and was

cabins aft of the San Francisco and did
not again show himself above deck
That part of the vessel was reserved
solely for its prominent guest Nobody
was allowed to visit his cabin
The officers of the San Francisco
were questioned about the matter, but
resolutely refused to discuss it. The
San Francisco left Valparaiso Monday
evening for Callao. Thence it viii sail
for California. Balmaceda may elect
to land at Callao. where many of his
leading partisans have already been
taken by foreign ships on board which
they sought refuge after the fall of
Valparaiso
Admiral Browns action will un-
doubtedly, for time at least, increase
the bitter feeling here towards the
United States government, although
the admirals of the other foreign YES
sells have taken prominent Balmace-
distS aboard.

WAR AND THE FAIR.

How a Fight in Europe Would Affect the
Great Chicago Exposition-The Ma
jority of officials Believe 1t Would
Prove Disastrous.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Rumors of war
in Europe have east cloud on worlds
fair circles. From Director General
Davis down. the officials and EN-
ployes are looking anxiously for
news from across the continent.
Many of the officials were
interviewed as to what effect
European war would have on
the exposition Naturally enough they
were very averse to being quoted, but
the general sentiment seemed to be
that trouble of that 1ind would be dis
astrous, to say the least; not that its in
fuence would be sufficient eithe. to
stop or postpone the fair, but
it would initiate against it to
a very great extent. There would be
few exhibits from Europe or Asia.
transportation would be so excessively
risky that exhibitors would not take
the chances Most of the officials in
terviewed considered the chances of a
war before the opening of the fair as
very strong.

John Dow. of Pennsylvania. Tries to Steas
$500, 900 in Santiago and Is Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept I6.-By the last
mail from Chill news WA received OF
an attempt of John Dow, a Pennsyl-
vanian, and Henry Merriam, an English
adventurer. to seize $500. 600 in bullion
which was secreted in the suburbs of
Santiago by Balm;seda preparatory
to shipping it to France The con-
spirators were surprised while break
ing open the house in which the treas
ure was stored, but both escaped ar
rest. Dow. in order to escape arrest,
hid in the casa of a relative of his wife
situated in the suburbs of the city.
Orders were issued to arrest him and
prevent his leaving TIE coun-
try. lie remained concealed for five
days in the house. and was fed by
his wife, who came daily to the place
with food This proceeding on her part
was detected by government officers
and the house was surrounded one
night and demand made for the sur
render of the American. Dow
sent the woman out of the casa and
sent word to the ponce that ne would
never be taken alive, and fol-
lowed up his message with volley
from his pistols The police poured
bullets through the door and windows
of the place, but the American would
not surrender One officer, a little
drawer than the rest. went up to the
window and, placing his pistol inside,
fred. He fell back, shot in the breast.
1t was then decided to blow
the house up with dynamite Dow was
informed of this, and fifteen minutes
later made a dash for liberty, but fell
dead with a score of bullets in his body.
His little half-breed wife was true to
the end and attempted to stab one of
the officers. She was arrested. Dow
went to Chill in 1889, claiming 10 be a
citizen of the United States and ma
tive of Pennsylvania. He made con-
siderable money peddling notions
among the natives, and during his trav-
els met and married half-breed Chill
ian girl. and afterwards took up his
residence in Santiago.
