EeAN AT THE BOTTOM OF 1T.

The unprovoked attacks upon and
abuse OF citizens Of the United
States in Chile called for the speedy
and stern action by our Government
which the State department took yester-
day. The crimes committed against
American citizens must be promptly
punished.
But that IS not the end Of the matter.
1t is beyond reason to suppose that the
bitter feeling in Chile toward the United
States is without cause, and it is per-
fectly clear that that cause is to be
found in the obnoxious and unjustifa-
BILE acts Of United States Minister
PATRICK EGAN, who is grossly misre-
presenting the American government
and the American people at Santiago.
He has sheltered a lot Of thieves and
scoundrels at the American legation
under the protection Of the American
flag, aud it is these to whom the Chilean
Government ItAuSoo ooAo NpAANNNef Va
the ground that they are criminals
fugitlves from justice.
The State Department has demanded
reprisa, for the unprovOked murders Of
American sailors, but it should Ions
ago have recalled the prime cause o
all the trouble between the United
States and Chile, the pestilent EGAN.
The duty Of the next Congress in re
gard to EGAN is plain. From the be
ginning Of his connection with BALMA
cEpA his entire career in Chile shoulC
be searchingly investigated. And Their
Is no doubt it will be, and he need loOl
for no mercy. Meanwhile Mr.. BLAINl
will do wise act If he instantly fol
lows up his demand on the Chilean
Government BY issuing recall for hi
disgracsful subordinate.

in these dispatches, embezzled large sums
of money received by him from settlers
who had bought land from the Little

whereabouts. His shortage is supposed
to be heavy, but at this time no account
of it can be had. Many OF the farmers,
who had bought land on the instalment
plan, have paid in full for their land and
hold Weaver's receipt therefor. Weaver

New CASTLE, PA, October 26.-The
turnacemen at the Rosena, Etna, Craw-
ford and Raney furnaces struck to-day
for an advance of ten cents in the wages
of laborers and fifteen for turnmen.
The operators refused to grant the de-
mand, but afterwards conceded it, as
the men would not coke the furnaces,
and the operators could not afford to
let them chill. The employers say
they will blow the furnaces out in the
first of the month, as they cannot afford
to pay the wages.

A Few Easy but Important Questions

A Few Easy but Important Questions
About Whist Answered.
Enthusiastic am going 70 tell you what
I know about whist, and then | want 70
ask you an important question. I under
stand that as a rule the original lead
should be the fourth best Of my longest
suit, unless that suit is headed by a Sc
quence, or by an acs with four or more,
and that when a high card is led the sec
ond card should be the fourth best. That
of two indifferent cards the higher should
be led when the suit originally contained
four, and the lower when it contained FIVE
or Elore. That the signal is nothing mos.
than an unnecessarily high card played
fore low card. That the echo is nothip-
more than asignal on your partners trum
lead That should return the highest 0
a suit Of three, and the fourth best Of a SUN
Of four or more. But although have car
RED these points in my mind. and have
practiced them q great deal, il discouraEes
ne to think that my progress has been so
slow, and. particularly near the end OF the
hand, that I should be so often mistaken
s. TO where certain cards lay, even after
al these means of information. Now what
! want 70 ask you Is this: Is il possible for
me, with only an ordinary memory, to
keep these ffty-two cards in nv mind,
Expert-Certainly. OF course in whist.
as in every other intellectual pursuit. the
better the memory the better the result.
But If you follow a certain line you will
be surprised 20 find how easy II is TO place
the cards. But this requires the closest
attention, and 10 talking should te al
lowed. This Is the worst ozense that can
be committed Now there IL only one rule
10 follow In a game Of whist, and that j. %
take each card In turn AZ It falls on the
table and surround il by every inferencs
possible on the instant Dou't wait. When
you have thus assigned a reason for IL
plsy drop it from your mind and take up
the next in turn. You viii Dc surprised
70 fnd how easy Il i, when the proper

were soon washed away by the heavy seas,
and the steamer again became unmanage-
able. All hands were put to the pumps,
and as the water was kept in check Capt.
Whitson had hopes of saving the vessel.
Some days later the Pollux was spoken by
the steamer Michigan, but the heroic cap
tain declined assistance, thinking be could
weather the gale and fetch port in safety.
But harder times still were in store for
the gallant captain and crew. Two days
sfterward stronger gale came from the
southeast Huge waves broke over the
steamer and made the stout iron hull
culver; the leak grew larger, the bilges
were choked with coal, and the coal bunk
ers were flooded. Then the appalling dis
covery was made that the provisions were
running low While the engines worked
there was still hope, but once they stopped
the Pollux was at the mercy of the bolster
Gus waves. One forenoon the engines
ceased working; the forecastle and officers
quarters were flooded. ana for twenty
eight days the vessel drifted hither and
thither The only provisions left were some
cans of corned beef and a small quantity
Of salt meats. The daily allowance OF food
WAS cut down 10 four ounces, but captain
and crew struggled manfully on. Finally
the State OF Nevada hove in sight and
rescued them. Notwithstanding all the
danger and privation only one man was
lost-a fireman, who was swept overheard

ing the Revolution. The movement for the
erection of this memorial was inaugurated
during the first years of the century, and
the Society of Old Brooklynites. which sub
sequently took the matter in charge, made
urgent but futile appeals to congress for
substantial recognition. During its re-
searches among the records OF the British
war department the society found that
over 5000 persons had been confined in the
hell as the prison ship Jersey was called.
The Jersey was, however, only one of those
dens of terror and cruelty; thousands more
were imprisoned in the Prince of Wales,
Good Hope, Scorpion, Strombolo, Whitby
and Falmouth, where they were subjected
to every species of inhumanity. Disease
and death made frightfUl havoc among
them, and they were buried in shallow
graves on the shore
