the 3-year-old trot Faustina made the
mile in 2:14a4, which is said to be the
fastest mile ever made in a race by g.
year-old, except by Axtell. Marcus

in and won the race. The time by heats
was 2:2314, 2:144, 2:241s, 2:21A. Lady
Wilton won all but the second heat.

The New York Herald's Valparaiso,
Chill, special says the papers are filled
with bitter comments on the action of
the British minister in diverting the
shipment Of silver by Balmaceda on the
British steamer to Montevideo and
thence to London. They demand full
indemnity to Chill for the silver valued
at $4,000 pounds sterling. This money
is now held in the bank of England. It
is not generally believed that the evil
dence of ill-feeling towards Americans
will be kept up, except on the part of
the valient blowers, aided by few news
papers and urged on by the British ele-
ment, who are absolutely inimical to the
people of the United States. The firm
attitude of the United States will stop
any nonsense, especially if the firmness
backed by the presence of a few ships of
the white squadron.

also expecting such action upon the part &
Of the powers that they are preparing to
act when the right moment arrives.
Many young men of the best Chinese
families are connected with these secret
societies. A prominent foreign resident
Of Shanghai in the same paper states he
has been asked to send an estimate to t
Nankin for organizing troops to be dis
ciplined and armed according to the 7
English system. The same resident q
also said he had been asked to state the g
terms upon which he can supply those
last steam cruisers fully equipped for
war to be delivered within three months
