THE iNSURGENT iTATA.
The Saucy Vessel Surrendered to Admiral
Mccain at Iquique.

Mccain Mt Iquique.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 5-Secretary
Tracy last night received the following
dispatch from Admiral Mccain, dated
Iquique, Chill, June 4: "The Itata arrived
at Iquique from 'Tocapella last night,
and was placed at the disposition of Ad-
miral McCann this morning. She had on
board 5000 rifles and ammunition taken
from the Robert and Minnie off the port
of San Diego, Cal. She had no more mu-
nitions of war than those belonging to the
ship, and transferred nothing to the Es-
meralda, with whom she communicated
to Tocapela. The Charleston arrived at
Iquique to day"
VIII BE Sent Back to San Diego.
AS soon as the Itata takes on coal and
prepares for the return trip, Admiral Nc
Cam will send her back to San Diego,
probably under convoy of one of the
cruisers. She will I've delivered to the
United States court officers at San Diego,
and the proceedings against her for viola
ton of the neutrality laws will be resumed
at the point where they were interrupted
by the unlawful departure of the steamer,
and the responsible parties will likely be
called upon to answer the charge of con-
tempt of court for running away while un-
der injunction.
Didn't Want to Affrost Uncle Sam.
The CHILEAN insurgents, it seems, upon
hearing of the escape of the Itata while
under injunction, disapproved of this ac-
ton and at once determined to surrender
the vessel, and a proposition was made by
the insurgents through Admiral Mccain
to surrender the vessel as soon as she
reached a South American port. Toca-
pella is an insurgent port, and there was
nothing to prevent the Itata unloading her
war munitions into the hands of the in
surgents while she was there, but the in
surgent junta did not care to anger the
United States.

The inquest on the murder of Carrie Brown
in New York yesterday, portion Of which was
reported in The STAR, was resumed in the
afternoon. An architects plans Of the scene OF
the butchery were presented to the jury. Bell
boy Eddie Fitzgerald, who discovered the body,
testified that on the night of the murder he let
a man up to room SO (Frenchy's room) and
gave him new green candle. The man was
the prisoner. At o'clock in the morning
Frenchy came down and sneaked out as if to
avoid recognition. The boy, who is twenty
years old, was q bright witness, and his replies
made spectators and jury laugh. Frenchy
joined in the laugh with the rest The witness
said he did not see Shakespeare or her COM
panion enter.
DIR. Cyrus Edison exhibited several blue en-
velopes which he said contained pieces of cloth
ing, dirt from beneath Frenchy's finger nails
and wall paper from the East River Hotel satu
rated with human blood. The doctor would
not swear positively they were human blood
corpuscles, but only that they resembled such
corpuscles.
After this the jury visited the scene of the
murder. Great crowds surrounded the coro-
ner's Office to catch a sight of the alleged Rip
per. At the hotel Frenchy betrayed no excite
ment until the room 80, in which he is said to
have slept on the night of the murder, was
reached, when he began to jabber excitedly in
French and declared to Juror Brennan, who
speaks that language, that that was not the
room he had slept In on the night in question,
but room IS. His lawyers prevented him from
saying more.
Reporters who have had access to the hotel
register declare that by it it does not appear

Special to the New York Times. -
CHICAGO, May 13.-Congressman James Blu
chanan Of New Jersey passed through the city
today journeying to Alaska for a pleasure trip.
"Refore left Washington" he said, "a canvass
OF majority Of the votes showed Mr. Crisp s
strength to be much greater than that Of the
other aspirants for the position Of Speaker of
the next House. While any number Of changes
may be made between now and next autumn,
Crisp is practically elected today. His cause
had hard fight at first, but this was more than
made up on the home stretch"
"How about the other candidates?''
1T was conceded by many Of the democrats
that to Mills should be given the honor. have
always thought that the democrats would re-
ward Mills as soon as an opportunity showed
itself and was surprised to learn that most OF
his following had gone to Crisp. Mr.. Mills is
more entitled to the speakership than any other
democrat, and so long as a republican can't be
placed there this time, would personally rather
see the gentleman from Texas in the chair"
"What are Mr.. Springer's chances?'
springer u an able man, but has little hope
OF being elected Speaker. He becomes ratified
on slight cause, and could not sit still during
an excited debate. His friends made move a
few weeks ago which may help him a little.
They sent word to the southern democrats that
the northern democrats demanded the speaker
ship and that Springer was the man for the
place. He would have q deal of influence in
the west, so the argument went, and could be Of
immense aid in 1892. But the democrats want
to be on their very best behavior during the
next session, and they believe Crisp is the safest
man for the place"
will he follow Gar Reeds rulings?"
"MOst assuredly."
.'What effect will that have?'
The democrats can't do anything but follow
Reed 8 rulings IL they do not we can tie them
up on every question. We can 'mesmerize'
them, SO to speak. Speaker Csrlisle's methods
will be abandoned now"

WILL REFUSE THE PERMIT.
The Commissioners Unanimously Approve
Capt. Lusk's Report.

NaPt. Lusk . Report.
Recently the Commissioners received Q re-
quest from the United States Electric Lighting
Company for o permit to make a street con-
nsctaon With the underground conduit corner
9Th and i streets southeast and HOO 5th street
southeast In his Endorsement upon the papers
Capt Lusk, who has charge Of street lighting,
says: ''The permit granted the United States
Electric Lighting Company on March 8, 1891.
allowed that company to extend the conduit
system ~ far south on 5th street southeast as
street The present application is for per-
mission to make . practical extension Of the
underground system for one full block farther
south-that L. TO the south side Of street south
sast-to furnish electric light to the
premises HOO 9Th street southeast i do
not believe that the Commissioners are
authorized to grant this privilege. The
oct approved March 3. 1891, excerpts neces-
oAry street or house connections for cleo
tric service from the prohibition against FUR
Their extensions Of conduits for electric lighting
Of telephone purposes i understand the term
street connections to mean such connections
different from the ordinary house connections
- are necessary to connect the conduits with
authorized poles or with the public sewer sys-
tam to afford drainage. Amy further inter-
probation would, in my opinion, nullify the
law, since IL the Commissioners can authorize
the extension of Q conduit for the distance OF
one block as o street connection they can In
the same guise permit this extension for one
block or for ten miles or for more blocks At a
time" The Commissioners are unanimous In
the approval of Capt. Lusks Recommendation,
and the permit will be refused
