lists Of the New York Health Bureau and the
chemists of the Agricultural Department of
New York The former think the Bordeaux
mixture" injurious and the latter assert
that it would take a ton of grapes sprayed
feight times to make poisonous dose for one
person. With this disagreement of experts
the only way to settle the question is by
practical test. Let one of the agricultural
chemists eat a ton ofthe grapes, and if any
unfortunate results ensue, the conclusion
will be evident that either so much of the
mixture or so much of the grapes disagreed

WITH regardrto that reported attempt to
tar and feather Mr.. L. L. Polk, President Of
the Farmers Alliance, out at Wichita, Kan
sas, there seems to be a dispute as to the
reasons for it. One story is that Polk was
charged with being a Confederate officer
connected with the ill-treatment of prison
ers at Andersonville; the other that the
for repudiating his Confederate record in
order to gain votes among the Union SOL
diers. On either hypothesis 1t is plain that
the attempt involved an error of applica-
tfon. 1t would be permissible to tar and
feather Polk IS doctrines, but not his person.

would be difficult to conceive a more
atrocious deed than the one perpe-
trated at the residence Of J.

Democrat and mayor of this city. early
this morning. and which resulted in
the speedy death of Mrs. Williamson.
About midnight Mrs. Williamson was
awakened by some noise in her room,
and quickly awakening a young lady
who was sleeping with her, spring out
OF bed and TO crib in which
her baby was sleeping. just as
reached the baby she received a pistol
shot, which entered just beneath the
collar bone on her shoulder. The pistol
was so near her body that her garments
were burned. She sank to the floor,
and a man was seen by her companion
TO escape through a window which
he had raised from the outside
and propped up with stick,
climbing upon wheelbarrow to enter.
Mrs. Williamson lived till ! o'clock this
morning and expired. To make the
matter worse Mayor Williamson was

THE MURDER OF SAILORS.
Witnesses Afraid to Testify to the
Facts Openly.


New YORK, Oct. 31.-A special from
Valparaiso to the World gives the fol-
lowing account of the attack on our
sailors: Capt. Schlsy's men had
been on board the Baltimore sew
eral months without liberty. When
he arrived at Valparaiso he re-
celyed the usual visit of courtesy and
an assurance Of assistance. Other for
elgn ships were daily giving their men
liberty. Therefore. Capt. Schley sent
10 men ashore. OF these, only four re-
turned drunk: four overstayed their
liberty, thirtySix were imprisoned. sew
enteen were wounded. one was killed
outright ana one subsequently died.
Men received from five to TWENTY-FIVE
wounds, mostly knife and bay
net cuts in the back. which
would characterize the assault as
unprovoked. brutal and dastardly. No
mitigating circumstances have vet come
TO the Worlds correspondents knoWl-
edge 1t is probable that if there were
any they would be published. Can't.
Schley ordered a court Oh board the
Baltimore to take testimony. The re-
suit Is said TO be remarkable for clear
ness and cOnnectedness. Two sailors
IN the street were insulted by Chilians
splitting in their faces. A crowd near
by was waiting to attack them
should they resent the insult.
The Baltlmore's men wisely tOokeEe-
fuge In tram car. The crowd stopped
the car and hauled the men out. beaf-
ing them with sticks and stones and
knitting them. One man fell with tweIs4
ty-two slabs, and while a companion
was assisting him to a chemists. a Do
lceman shot him through the neck. He
died instantly. A second shot fred
passed between the flesh and the shirt
Of the other man. q
An officer with white can. presume
bly, a gentleman. drew his sword and
slashed both the living and dead. The
attack then became general. Sailors
quietly eating in small restaurants ats1ltl
town were brutality beaten and stabbed.
Mounted police arrived, bat instead of
sHecoring the sailors, they began saber-
ing them. One man was tied with min
perS about the wrists to a horse. which
was started at full gaiop. dragging the
man through the streets. Afterwards
a horse was walked to another man. who
was hauled to the station with a lasso
about his neck.
There were plenty of witnesses on
shore to the shooting, but thew were
afraid TO testify. One wrote an aponv-
nous letter to Capt. Schley and after
wards visited the ship. bnt ne saws he
would lose his life if he were known.
The Gillian investigation was secret.
The meu's cause was unrepresented.
Although Capt. Sehley urged that an
officer be present. his request was de-
MED on the claim that such proceedings
are always secret.
The report Of the intendente of Val
paradise says that there were nearly
LOCO men engaged in the recent fight.
