AMERICAN SAILORS KILLED.
Fatal Street Fight at Valparaiso with
Chilean Senmen.


VALPARAISO, Oct. lS.-Three, perhaps
four American man-ot wars men were
killed and several others were moro or less
severely wounded in desperate street fight
here Friday afternoon with a crowd Of
Chilean sailors. The Chileans did not do
oil the fighting, for when the fight was end
ed a number of them were found to be badly
hurt, though none were killed. The Amer
lean blue jackets who were engaged IN the
battle were from the United States cruiser
Baltimore, and the ChisauS v ere from he
various war ships now in the harbor.
There are several accounts as to tue origin
of the difficulty. One Of them, which seeing
plausible is this. Ever since the triumph
Of the Junta there has been a feeling among
the lower classes Of the people of marked
hostility to the Americans, and the biuo
jackets from the American warshlps wore
sometime subjected to insult. 1t is alleged
a party of men from the Baltimore, ashore
on liberty, met with the Chilean man-of-
war men. The hatred of the ''lanlices led
to some insulting remark, which was re-
sented by some of the hotter headed Ameri-
cans, ami this brought on the light, which
was attended with such fatal result,
There much excitement in tine city
when the news Of the fight sprs ad. Tie un-
fortunate affair is greatly regretted in Off
cial circles and among the better class OF
citizens.

Home People Must support Those Now
Established in Helena.
While a great deal can be accomplished
in the way of inducing capital to embark in
manufacturing enterprises in Helena by
showing those who have an idea of starting
business in the city the advantages offered
as a distributing point, yet the best induce
ment would be to prove that those indust-
ries already established are Loyalty sup
ported by the people Of the city and state.
Speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr..
Samuel Weinstein said: 1--WE cannot ex-
pect to gain much in the matter of manu-
featuring in this city and state unless we
show our appreciation of those now here
by a hearty support. Take tho milling
business for an example. Sanford d Evans
have a frst-class plant and turn out an Al
grade of -four. Do they receive the sup
port they deserve? Not by any means.
Many of the Helena dealers buy flour of an

than they could charge for the homemade
article. One reason for this may be that

price of the Helena made flour, and there

He pays less for the Washington flour, but

LO THE LOAFER.

OF all the emaciated drivel and mis- !
cradle namby-pamby talk that has been
sputtered forth on the subject of Indian
affairs, the latest deliverance of Com
missioner Morgan's is the most trying.
Good, tender-hearted man! he would
not disarm poor Lo. Poor Lo shall not
be unjustly treated, his tender feelings
shall not be wounded by the compulsory
loss of his Winchester and the arsenal
of revolvers that his innocent heart
loves to carry around. They are not
weapons Of o%ffense; Oh, dear, no, the
commissioner is sure of that. He knows
the Indian too we'll; he has met him
more than once III the streets of Wash
ington. Those guns of his are but the
o~utcropping of the romantic tinge in the
aboringinal nature. He can no longer
pursue the buffalo over the plains as
his fathers did, and who shall deny
him and a hundred other red devils the
satisfaction of whooping and dashing
after some miserable reservation steer,
and putting Il hundred unnecessary

10 romance indeed. A butchers knife is
too prosaic and commonplace to be
dreamt OF for a moment. Hard is the
lot Of poor Lao! His life is Il series of
ambuscades. The commissioner knows
how the tendish settler, neglecting the
work of his ranch, lies in wait la secret
places to have the satisfaction oil a snap
shot at Lo and 20 keep his eye in prac-
tice during the close season. And the
gentle red man goes sadly to his tepee
to weep over the depravity of the white
man, and to bid his squaw and her cubs
never to dream Of stabbing the lone I'm,
fortunate they may chance to meet on
the prairie. So good, so forgiving, &C
patient is Lo.
