LATER
Reparation Demanded.

SANTIAGO DE CHILL Oct 26.-The
United States government to-day,
through Minister Egan, formally de-
nanded reparation from the govern
ment of Chilli for the attack recently
made in Valparaiso upon number of
the seamen Of the United States cruis-
er Baltimore. The demand made by
the United States minister is no infor-
NAL suggestion that the government at
Washington expects some kind of sat
isfaction for the killing and wounding
of the Baltimore's sailors.
1t is a friendly put notification, given
according to direct orders received from
the state department at Washington,
that the United States demands an inn
mediate explanation Of the whole
affair, and PREPARATION for the injuries
inflicted. Acting upon the instructions
sent to him, Mr.. Egan presented the
Gillian junta with a detailed statement
of the results of the investigation made
by Capt. Schley, of the Baltimore, and
by Mr.. Egan himself
These investigations had shown that
Charles Riggin, one of the Baltimore's
petty officers, was brutality assaulted
by several Chilians while he was riding
on q street car. Riggan resisted, but
was dragged from the car and .smur-
dered by q pistol shot In the arms of
his companions Turnbull, anotheraof
the Baltimore's wounded men, wlo
died to-day from his injuries, received
no less than eighteen stab wounds in
the back, twosof them penetrating his
lungs.
After giving a full list of the Balti-i
more's crew who were injured by the
mob, Mr.. Egan's statement called at
tention to the fact that thirty-fivc Of
the cruisers crew were, on the day Of
the riots, arrested, unnecessary vio-
lence being used by the police, and
that they We're detained in custody
without due cause.

TONS OF HAY DESTROYED.
Farmers Lose Heavily by Fires in the
WISCONSIN River bottoms.

Farmers Lose Heavily by Fires in the
Wisconsin River Bottoms.
MADISON, Wis, Oct. 26-Fires in the
Wisconsin river bottoms and those
rivers tributary to the Wisconsin have
caused heavy losses to the farmers liv-
ing along the rivers. Curtis Hazeltine,
of Mazomapie, who owns about
10000 acres Of marsh lands in
Dane, Sank and Iowa counties. says
most all of the hay grown on his land
was destroyed by fire. lie has leased
the marsh in small parcels to farmers,
and those placing almost sole depend
ence for hay on the marsh are in des-
perate straits and will be Obliged to
sell their cattle at whatever they will
bring in order to avoid their starving
Mr.. Hazeltine estimates that 3d.
600 tons of hay have been destroyed
in southern Wisconsin alone. Along
the Wolf river and its tributaries
marshes have burned out and farmers
were unable to rescue their hay which
had been stacked in them. IN many
places the fire is still burning. Stock
can be purchased at almos: any price

MILLIONS IN WANT.

Women Sell Their Hair for u Meal.
LONDON, Oct. 26. Winter began in
Russia on Thursday with the first sharp
frost. Living men cannot remember
any other year in which this simple
announcement meant what il does
now. There are literally millions
of human beings, at the fur.
thest within a six days journey Of
London, to whom this frost comes as q
sentence of death by starvation. Al
though the censors have forbidden the
Russian papers to discuss the famine,
the Novosti ventures the decl aration
that 90, 900, 900 creatures are already
without food.
Statistics prove conclusively that
in many places spectators get
extortionate prices. Corn merchants
and village koolaks, or Insurers,
are charged with responsibility
for the extortion. Samara paper
declares that Jews arc angels COM
pared with the koolaks, who are in the
habit of reducing those in their
power to the lowest stage of pow
erty. Incidents showing the terrible
distress of the people continue to be re-
corded A poor woman of Hatch;no,
on returning homo from eighboring
village, whittier she had gone to try to
purchase food, found all her children
dead, and post-mortem examination
being made their stomachs were found
filled with rags and earth. Many VII
lagos are completely deserted in the
district of PORN. One half of the pop
ulation of Reasan has died Of hunger
or disease An odious traffic is carried
on in women's hair, the best heads
realizing a crown apiece. In some
cases the price of a single meal is
eagerly accepted.
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. GA pc.
culiar feature of the famine now rag
ing is the large expectation of grain
to foreign ports while millions of Rus
slams are starving. It appears that
about $4,000, 900 more pounds of rye
have been exported this year than
in 1890, notwithstanding the pro.
hibition which gave vast stimu-
lus to export during the few weeks be-
fore it took effect. The diseases already
prevailing in the ADMINISTRATION prov
inces are creating almost as much
alarm as the famine itself. The munich
pal authorities of st. Petersburg have
voted a sum of money equivalent TO
S625, 900 for the relief of the sufferers
from the famine.

The recent advocacy by some of the
use OF atmospheric air as fuel is pro-

results of modern experiments with
one of the essential elements Of the
universe. As is well understood, air is
mixed with coal gas and with hydro.
carbon vapors, and the compound,
when burned, generates much great
err heat than if the air was absent.
The new fuel, however, is the ar it
rected upon an incandescent sub

Accused of Extorting Money.

Much interesting evidence has been
given during the past week in the
case of II. E. Sutherland, of Hazleton,
arrested two weeks ago on a charge Of
violating the United States mails, brief
account of which was given in our last
issue. Four thousand dollars, of the
ten thousand dollars. which was given
by Mr.. Sutherland to Rev. Donohue to
satisfy the latter's claim for damages, is
said to have been extorted from Mr..
Sutherland by Marshal Barring who
made the arrest. Mr.. Sutherland states
that after his arrival at the county seat
on the evening of his arrest, he was
taken direct to a private office of Mar
shal Barring, where he was told weird
stories of what the probable result of the
case would be and that if he would settle
for the prescribed amount-$l0 ,O00-he
would be discharged without further
publicity. To this Sutherland agreed
and signed the note paying four thousand
dollars down. This money was paid to
Marshal Barring, he to pay all expenses
of those connected with the apprehen-
sion of the criminal, and the balance
was to be paid to Rev. Donohue. Not
withstanding the alleged settlement of
the case the trial is set down for April 4.
