GLAD HE GOT AWAY.
Nobody Seems to Regret the Escape
2 of Ex-fresident Balmaceda.
HE WILL NOT Be SURRENDERED,
As the United States Is an Asylum for AL
Political Refugees.
THE PART PLAYED BY ADMIRAL BROWN
ESPECIAL rsLreaAx TO THE p,spArcH,1

l. ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 15-The reported
escape of Balmaceda from Valparaiso to the
tie United States flagship San Francisco
through the connivance of Admiral Brown,
is viewed BY the State and Navy Depart
ments with an indifference bordering on
satisfaction. It Is believed that even the
Congressional Government is pleased with
the escape and considers itself we'll rid of
the ex-President. Should it not be, Bal
maceda will still be permitted to remain
under the protection of the American flag
as he sees fit. He certainly will not be
given up.
''Should he be surrendered" said Assist
ant Secretary Wharton this evening, "the
people of this country would rise en- inasse
to protest against it. 1t is our policy, and
has always been, to grant an asylum to po-
litical refugees. Were the situation in
Chile reversed, and the Congressionalists
sought our protection. we should give it to
them just the same It is what should have
been done in the Barrundia affair, and Min
lister MINERS failure to protect him was the
reason for Miners recall.
Secretary Tracey declined to express an
opinion on Admiral Browns act until the
receipt Of official information.
'I never oriticise my officers" he said,
and hastily added, ''nor praise them, upon
newspaper reports. Not that the latter are
not Trustworthy, but because it would be
improper upon anything but official inform
ation.''
At the Chilean Congressional legation
the news of Balmaeeda's escape was re-
ceived with qualification. Mr. Foster, who
is in charge Of the legation, said: at is
fortunate for all concerned, especially for
Balmaceda. Had he been caught he would
have been undoubtedly condemned by the
law, If he were not torn to pieces by an en-
ragged people. I am glad he escaped. There
will be no bitter feeling towards the United
States in consequence Of Admiral Browns
act. We are glad to get rid of the cowardly
tyrant. He will doubtless come to San
Francisco. The failure of Peru to help him
during the war makes his landing at Callao
impossible.

A DOG WITH A CATARACT.
An Accidental BLOW Relieves When the
Surgeons Had Failed.

An Accidental Blow Relieves When the
Surgeons Had Failed.
The Epoch.l
A lady friend of mine owns a skye ter
rier, now years old, Of which she is very
fond. When the little fellow was about a
year old, very savage cat jumped at him
without the slightest provocation and
scratched his left eye, from the effects of
which cataract formed, and after two years
caused blindness in that eye. From sympathy
cataract formed gradually over the
other eye, and last summer he became to-
tally blind. Some years before the second
eye'became affected, the owner took Teddie
(such is his name) to an eye and ear hos
pital of this city and had an operation per-
formed on the eye which the cat had
scratched. One of the physieisns attached
to the hospital was the operator, and he
was surrounded by other physicians, by as
sistants and nurses, all of whom were deeply
interested. The owner held the dog in her
lap, cocaine was administered. and Teddie
did not move until deep cut caused him to
give little cry. The operation was
failure; the cataract was so hard that the
instrument slipped. 1t was like working
on piece of marble.
operation painlessly on two different occa-
sions on the same eye, with no better sue
cess than the first time; but he was willing
to try it again and cut off the cataract en-
tirely, but 1t would be necessary to chloro-
form the boy, as the pain would otherwise
be too great. Teddie's mistress was at the
same time informed that he might die from
the effects of the anesthetic, and she would
not take the risk of losing her pet. A few
months ago, however, she changed her
mind and determined to allow it to be
chloroformed,, preparatory to the fourth
operation. The doctor, upon examining the
eye, told her that nature had done what
three operations had failed to do Teddie
had evidently struck himself against some
thing which had loosened one of the corners
of the cataract, which now swings to and
from like a curtain, and enables him to see
enough to get around without hurting him.
self So the fourth operation was not found
necessary.

WONDERS WROUGHT BY PRESSURE.
Tlmbers Foot Square Reduced to Walk
ing Sticks In the Comstock Mines.

Tlmbers q Foot Square Reduced to Walk
ing Sticks In the Comstock Mines.
The enormous depth of the great Com
stock mines in Nevada and the gigantic and
incomprehensible weight of the mass of
stones and earth resting upon the timbers
(which actually hold up the mountains that
have literally been honeyoombed by the
miners), have wrought wonders which puz-
zle the deepest thinkers, says the ST. Louis
Rcpu6licul For instance, queer polished
sticks, as smooth as dressed mahogany and
not thicker than your wrist, are often taken
out Of deserted portions of the mines. They
are as hard and as heavy as iron, and knife
of the best material will not make scratch
ON them.
Do you have any idea what they are?
Drill cores, you think, but they are not.
Originally they were solid oak timbers Tx
II inches square. But why are they no
thicker than walking stick upon removal
after having seen years of service? The
weight of the mountain bearing upon them
from all directions, perpendicularly as well
as laterally (for it is only in this way that
mines of enormous depth can be safely tim
bered) has wrought the wonders seen in the
polished stick Sometimes these trans
formed timbers are found in small sections,
sometimes in long pieces, and are taken out
where cave-ins have occurred and displaced
the workings. 1t is well-known fact that
paper can be compressed until it will be so
hard that diamond will hardly touch it,
but no-known mechanism of the present or
the past has such power to compress and
work marvels with wood

1.-THE Republican ticket is attractive and
the candidates are both popular. They

A DEBATE ON PREDEsT1NAT1oN.
Points in the Confession of Faith Discussed
by the Pfttsburg Presbytery.

Points in the Confession of Faith Discussed
by the Pittsburg Presbytery.
MoNoNGAHELA CITY, Sept 15.-[ Special ]
The second days proceedings of the Pitts,
burg Presbytery were very interesting, in.
volving, as they did, protracted and warm
discussion regarding the revision of the
Westminster Confession of Faith. The first
meeting of the Presbytery last night was
merely preliminary to the real work of the
sessions. Rev. r. S. Holmes, of the Shady
side Church, preached the opening sermon,
after which Rev. j. NJ. Mercer, of Sharon
Church, Allegheny county, was elected
Moderator, and Rev. w. P. Thomas Tenn
porary Clerk.
The debate to-day was devoted almost en-
tirelv to the report of the General Assem-
bly, on the revision of the Confession of
Faith. The most spirited portion of the
debate was on Section 8, Chapter 3, of the
proposed revision, which dealt with predes-
tination. After some talk on this question,
Rev. Mr.. Donehoo of Pittsburg, moved
that the section be omitted entirely, as its
wording was weak and unsatisfactory, but
the preponderance of argument and opinion
seemed to be against Rev. Mr.. Donehoo's
motion, and it was defeated by an over
whelming vote. AS a compromise the
whole matter was finally referred to COM
mittee of five, with instructions to report as
soon as possible.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15.-(SpsciaL ii.
W. Hanley, of this city, was killed at Clio,
La, Friday in a somewhat sensational man
ner. Hanley was an engineer on the Corsair
and married. He told his wife Thursday
evening that he had been suddenly called
away and had to go in great hurry to
Biloxi, Miss, on important business. She
has not heard from him since, until to-day,
when Mr.. Saddler, of Clio, arrived here with
her husbands watch and other property and
announced that Hanley had been killed by
his son-in-law, Sim Kemp, on Friday even
ing The men met by appointment, he said,
six miles from Clio, where fight had taken
place, and Kemp, who was armed with a
rife, killed Hanley. Kemp buried the
body of the man he killed at his own ex-
pense, acting as chief mourner, and sent
Hanley's property to his wife
Saddler refused to say anything more as
to what the trouble between the men was
about, but Mrs. Haniey, who is from Gin
cinnati, insists that jealousy is at the bot
tom of it. Hanley was engineer of the
steamer Corona when she blew up and of the
John H. Hanna when she burned up and 40
lives were lost. The Knights of Pythias, of
which he was a member, have undertaken
the investigation of the mystery.

Senator Stanford receives an enormous
mail. 1t is too bulky for him to give it all
his personal attention. 1t is opened by his
private secretary, John Mccarthy, and only
the letters which concern him intimately
are referred to him. Last summer, when
Mr.. Stanford was going abroad, he left word
that only his important mail was to be for
warded to him, and he made arrangements
with his clerk to forward his important let
ters under peculiar cover, so that he
might be able to distinguish them from the
other mail which might be sent to him
To everyone who inquired the Senator's
address it was given freely, but the bankers
in London, who attended to forwarding his
letters, quietly disposed of all which did
not bear the private mark of his private
secretary. When the Senator returned
from his trip abroad Mr.. Mccarthy asked
him what he had done with his mail during
the summer. ''There it is" said the Sena-
tor pointing to six large mail bags. Mr.
Mccarthy opened one of them. The letters
lay there intact. Mr.. Sanford had not
touched one of them during his absence
