The situation in Chill.

VALPARAISO, Nov. There is deci-
dedly more friendly feeling here between
the Americans and Chilians. The inten-
dente at Valparaiso has addressed an
official communication to Captain Schley,
of the United States warship Baltimore,
requesting that the sailors attached to
that ship who were wounded In the recent
riots, be permitted to appear before
Judge Foster and give their testimony.
In case 1t is found impossible or inexps-
dient to have the men appear before the
judge in person, he is requested to fur
nish copies of their deposltions, which
have already been taken by Captain
Scbley. The Baltimore's wounded men are
rapidly recovering from their hurts A
feeling of extreme cordiallty now seems
to exist between the Chllian authorities
and the United States naval officers, and
there are frequent iDterchanges of courte-
sizes.

C0nvicts and Miners.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 9.-The sltua-
ton of affairs IN Tennessee is becoming
alarming. 1t has but one equal In the
history of America, and that was when
Carolina attempted to secede from the
United States. It has been stated Off
clally that the rebellion of the miners, so
far as estimated, has damaged the COM
mercial standing of East Tennessee to an
amount of millions of dollars. The two
town companies-one with $50,000,000
capital, located af Bristol; the other with
$1OO, 1000, 900, located at Elizabethtown-
have refused to enter the state, claiming
that the state, not being able to protect
its own interests, cannot protect the
interests of capital. Suspicious commu-
nication is being held between the East
Tennessee miners and the miners of Ken
lucky, Alabama and Virginia. The hardy
mountaineers who released the convicts
have sworn that the governor shall not re-
build the stockades, and that If he sends
the convicts back to the Briceville and
Coal Creek mines, they will be butchered
in cold blood. Sheriff Rutherford, of
Anderson county. who was notified by
Governor Buchanan yesterday that if he
could not sustain order and protect the
people that his resignation would be re-
quested, received notice to day of two
death heads with grinning skulls and
bones, which were marked on the paper
and uuder this significant message:
"Tell your governor that if be sends
the convicts back again we will kill them
one by one. We mean business.
TIE MINERS COMMITTEE"
The law is now openly defed. There
can be nothing but blood shed ii the gov
ernor really intends to rebuild the stock
ades. Governor Buchanan means busi-
ness too. He has had fifty new Calling
guns and thousands of small arms pur-
chased. The state has paid out to date
$500 for the capture of convicts, and
the Iessees steadily refuse to keep their
part of the contract.

of obtaining information concerning
the abuses committed upon American
citizens in Mexican territory in connec-
tion with the Cartino Garcia affair
President Diaz has given orders to com
manders OF troops on the northeast from
tier that no more persons be shot or pun
ished without previous trial by competent
authorities, This has been done in view
OF the reports published in the United
States of arbitrary executions, which as
rule, are exaggerations put in circulation
by the bandits or smuggling residents
there, headed by escaped felons, like Gar
cia and Sandoval, who give out false
revolutionary news.

Bloody Week in SAN francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, NoY. 8.-The receiving
hospital is crowded with victims of yes
terday's shooting. Charles Vest, who
shot his wife and himself yesterday, is
apparently recovering. He now claims
to be ignorant of bis crime, and seems to
be trying to create the impression of in
sanity. Mrs. Vest still lives. but the
chances are against her recovery. Cowell,
who was shot by the Chinsman. is still
unconscious. The surgeons say that 1t
will be almost a miracle If he RECEIVERS.
Now it appears that the Chlnaman who
did the shooting speaks English well
and is not a recent arrival. Officer
Gillen, his other victim, will be buried on
Tuesday. The week closing Saturday
was the bloodiest here for long time.
In all there were ten attempts at suicide,
three of which proved fatal, and five per-
sons were murdered, one being horribly
butchered. Should Mrs. Vest and Cowell
die, as is probable, the number will be
increased to seven.

ST PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The COVER

aie exhausted, that the peasants will soon
be without food, and that 100000

Terrible Accident to a Great Northern
Engineer

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov, g. Thomas W
Major, an engineer, was terribly injured
in an accident on the Columbia g. Puge
Sound railroad at o'clock this morning.
He was bringing in tram of twenty five
cars with coal from the Cedar mountain.
When about three miles from Renton, the
engine struck a cow which had fallen
into the cattle guard, and after rolling
the animal along for 100 feet or more,
the engine left the track and plunged
down a fifteen-foot embankment into
Cedar river. The four tralnmen, who
were in the cab. escaped serious injury,
except Engineer Major. David McKin-
ney, the conductor, was thrown entirely
over the wreck and fell unhurt into the
water. Alexander w. Forbes, the fire
man, also went into the river, and VIII
liam Malady, the brakeman, got out with
slight injury on the head. Major, the
engineer. with a crushed ankle and q
broken leg, was pinned down in the cab
with only his head out OF the water.
The escaping steam from the boiler was
scalding him, and his cries for help were
heart-rendering. In the darkness and in
the debris of the wreck, it was hard TO

Judge Ross Decision.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Tbe decision
rendered by Judge Ross in the Itata case
is subject of serious annoyance to the
president, who sees in it great future
leaves our government in position
where 1t can be called upon to pay
damages to every other government which
is defending itself against civil insur,
rectlun. IF any citizens of the Uulted
States gee fit to furnish munitions of
war to the party in revolt, it is powerless
to prevent the transactions, and yet the
government may be called to account
for it afterwards. The president is now
contemplating recommendation in his
message that the statutes be amended so
as to make 1t unlawful for private parties
to render such aid to an unrecoSnized
fsction at war with power friendly to
ourselves. He would like, also, to have
an amendment to the stat ties, or a con
stitutional amendment, as might seem
best, clothing the executives with au-
thority to check, by proclamation, any
preparations IN apparent violation of the
Neutrality law. The difficulties of the
administration with the law left In its
present condition are enhanced by the
news from Brazil.
THE CONDITIONS ARE DIFFERENT
In that country, If the revolutionists
organize strong movement, there will be
demand undoubtedly for arms and am
munitlon, which this country can supply.
We are thus liable to have cases like that
of the Itata multiplying indefinitely.
All that the reyolutlonis:s will have to
do is to enlist in their service vessels and
crews that are competent to carry on
successful smuggling trade, and use them
as transports, being careful that they
shall receive their wares in this country
SO packed as to preclude the assumption
that they are intended for equipment of
the vessels themselves, and they can get
anything they want under Judge Ross
decision. What adds to the complica-
tion is that, whereas in the Chilian affair
our government was privately advised
from the outset that the constitutional |
party had good chance of winning the |
fight, in the case of Brazil all its in
formation is favorable to the president. |
If, therefore, it should reverse the policy |
it pursued in the Itata incident, 1t feels |
that it would be likely to be very sharply |
called to account by the established |
government in Brazil at the end of the |
war.

Killed While Hunting.

was missing. They were in the vicinity
of Zena. Polk county, and searching
party this morning found the dead body
of their missing member lying on the
ground by fence. He was William
Lannsen, young German, who worked
in the brickyard here. A coroner's jury
found that be came to his death by the
accidental discharge of gun in his own
hands. 1t is thought that in getting
over the fence the hammer caught and
the gun was discharged. The load
entered in his neck, and blew the back
OF his head off.
