A VERY SINGULAR STORY.
Few York the Actual ;, at of the Chiiian
War.


War;
New York, May 5.-Judging from GER
tain developments that have taken place
during the past twenty-four hours and
from rumors that were prevalent in bust
ness circles downtown today, the actual
seat of the Gillian war is located in this
city.
1t is claimed that two prominent COM
mercial houses, both having very large in
terests in Chill, are furnishing arms, am
munition and money to the two factions
the government, or Balmaceda forces, and
to the revolutionists. The houses men
toned are opposite to each other CONNER
cially and each is doing its utmost to
have the faction it supports win.
News was received by one Of the firms
yesterday from its agents in Buenos Ayres
that its competitor had sent lot OF rifles
and ammunition to Balmaceda's forces.
The agent stated that the firm had
shipped $50 cases OF rifles and 1000
pounds of ammunition on the Brazil mail
steamships Vigilance and Advance from
this port TO Santos. The ammunition was
to Monteviden. At Montevideo, so goes
the story, the CHILEAN men-of-war Al
marante Lynch and the Almarante Con-
dell were met and the rifles and ammuni-
ton and small arms put on board them.
The war vessels then sailed for Valparaiso
and delivered the arms to Balmaceda's
forces.
One of the partners of the above firm
left New York, it is said Just before the
munitions of war were shipped and went
directly to Buenos Ayres and from there
TO Montevideo in order to be present at
the transfer of the goods to the war ships.
Commercial house No. ,, the revolution
ist hacker, has been charged by Balma-
ceda's friends with aiding the insurgents
bv sending arms and cartridges down
there. The prize for which both mer-
chants are said to be struggling is valuable
concessions which have been promised
them by their respective parties in the
event Of victory. One of the New York
houses interested and backing the revolu-
tionists is said to practically control one
of the South American republics The
other has large Brazilian interests.
II is said TODAY by many INGREDIENTS that
the efforts of the two merchants here in
New York. There have been several
representatives of both contesting forces
in Chill here in New York for the past
ten days. 1t is presumed they are pur-
chasing arms for shipment

Win KnoMa2
Washington Democrat

The Hon. W. D. Bynum, the famous In
dianapolis congressman and whilom mayor
of Washington, is in the city on some
legal business. Mr.. Bynum is one OF the
shrewdest politicians in the country and
stands an excellent chance of being elected
speaker of the next house of representa-
tives. We hope he may be elected. He
is one of the best parliamentarians in the
house and would make an admirable pre-
siding officer. He is the idol of the de-
mocracy of his district. His reputation
is national, he is young, and, who kncws2
may achieve something higher than the
speakership.
