Ha shII In Chill.

VALPARAISO, Chilli, September To-
Rumors continue to spread concerning
the whereabout of the fugitive presi'
dent. The other day it was said he was
fleeing by way OF Los Andes, in the
Argentine Republic, his purpose being
to reach Buenos Ayres.S Now 1t is re-
ported that, not daring just at present
to attempt to escape from the country
he has taken refuge in some OF the lega-
lions, or else has concealed himself In q
monastery. II he has been fortunate
enough TO gain admission TO q legation,
he will. in all likelihood, be protected
from the wrath Of his triumphant
enemies. II, on the contrary, he has
sought refuge in q monastery, he ID IN
immediate danger Of being captured.
The council Of state will undoubtedly
cause all the monasteries to be searched
for him II it puts any faith in the re-
port It seems hardly plausible, how
ever, that he should seek an asylum
with the clerical party, as ever since
the outbreak Of the war the priests have
been almost unanimously In sympathy
with the Congressionalists.
Ex-Minister Of Foreign Affairs Aldu-
nate, while travelling toward Santiago
to-day, was stopped ct Quillota, fifty
miles from here, by an armed body Of
men.
Last Friday the American depart
ment of state cabled Minister Egan
that If the congressional party had
formed a government which Wes 90

Slow In Settling.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Septem Der
15.-There is Some delay about the pay
ment for the public building site re-
Gently purchased in Kansas City. II
does not appear that the trouble is
with the title, but the treasury depart
ment moves slowly. Mr.. Snyder, who
sold the site, is here prepared to carry
home the money. but the government
is in no particular haste, seemingly,
to disburse. What is true in regard TO
the Kansas City purchase applies to
various other site purchases, and also
to public building appropriations. In
fact, the treasury officials are moving
with deliberation in the matter OF all
disbursements except such as are re-
quired for the actual running expenses
Of the government. The acts making
the appropriations say that they shall
be ''paid out OF any money in the treas
ury not otherwise appropriated" 1t is
useless, therefore TO try to hurry the
secretary of the treasury IN these dis.
bursements.

Sure OF Good Times.

New YORK. September Is The ad-
vance wave OF the good times predicted
for the fall appears to have reached
this city. There has been a sudden and
pronounced Quickening of trade and
merchants in almost every line are en-
thusiastic over what is an earlier fall
opening than has ever before been
known, even in the years OF the great
est prosperity. The principal whole
sale grOcers OF the city, say that the re-
ports of their traders are enthusiastic
and that they are assured OF an unusu-
ally good business season, not boom"
but a period OF very liberal purchases.
Jobbers and country dealers are al
ready sending in large orders and col
lections have within o week improved
nearly 100 per cent.
The same reports come from the big
house in the dry goods trade. One OF
H. B. ClaHin's head men says that the
indications are remarkably bright and
cheerful. The big boot and shoe deal.
ers say that money is beginning to be
expended literally and that the next
three or four months give every prom.
Use oil great prosperity. Representa-.
tives of many other lines of trade which
are an index OF the general condition OF
the country, concur in these statements
and are almost unanimously united in
the declaration that the developments
of the past few days indicate an i'm.
mense 'all BUSINESS that will make
money extremely plentiful.

UNUSUALLY ENCOURAGING.
Financial and Business Prospects Quite
Cheering.

NV YORK, September 15.-R. G.
Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review OF Trade
says:
All returns OF the condition OF bust.
ness are encouraging. There is no
room for doubt about the improvement
In trade. From nearly every city comes
the cheering information that business
Is better and prospects brighter. At
Boston business Is increasing. At Phil
adelphia the tone OF the iron market
has much improved. Business Is encour-
aging at Buffalo, decidedly improving
ut Cincinnati and Cleveland, and IL NAV
be noted that at eastern points general
Y some improvement Is seen In collec-
lions.
Receipts OF wheat at Chicago are five
times those OF last year, OF corn double,
OF rye seven times and OF oats and
dressed beef about third lsrger. with
some increase in wool, while decrease
OF third appears in barley and cured
meats Dry goods sales in August were
the largset ever known, the clothing
trade is very large with fair collections
and the shoe trade excellent. Money
Is plentiful for legitimate trade. At
Minneapolis sales OF lumber are large
with prices stiff, and receipts of wheat
1000 bushels against 800, 600 last
year. AT st. Paul improvement Is
seen and reports are brighter. At St.
Louis shipments OF money to the cotton
states are increasing. but the market
is comparatively easy. At Denver
trade improves and also at Kansas
City.
Even at the south the improvement
is general, especially at Louisville,
Memphis, Savannah and Atlanta and
at New Orleans trade Is more active,
rice being especially strong and money
In good demand.
The financial outlook is clearer. Ex-
ports OF merchandise from New York
Tor the past two weeks have exceeded
those OF the same weeks last year by
more than go per cent, while in imports
there appears decrease OF about 20 per
cent. The opening OF Germany and
Denmark to American pork products
has lifted the price OF pork so cents per
barrel. With the greatest crops eyer
grown, and an unprecedented foreign
demand for grain and meats, the pros
pect must be considered unusually en-
couraging.

Two Young Kausans Batter Each Other
Until They Can Fight No More.
ATCHIspN, September 15.-Homer
Pittman and Henry Clodielter, young
men near Cummingsville, quarreled
about girl and agreed to fight duel

suaded them to abandon the idea, and
they concluded to fight it out with their
ists. They met Tuesday afternoon,
zach accompanied by friends to see fair
play, and went at it with great ferocity.
They were we'll matched In size and
weight. They fought until both were
exhausted and unable to continue the
cattle. It was decided ''oraw," and
the combatants were literally hauled
Of the field. Neither was able to work
and both were battured and bruised al
most beyond recognition. They are
still in bed, but each Is anxious to re-
new the battle and fight TO finish.
The young lady in the case feels no
more than passing interest in either
of the young fellows and does not know
that the fight was about her.

The Local Demand.

With us the local demand for resi-
dence lots in this city is becoming bet
ter and better every day. The compile
ton of the various quick transit lines,
extending to all parts of the city, has
made great demand on the part of
residents who have heretofore lived IN
the center of the city for homes located
within easy reach of some of these lines.
We have found good sale of property
out between st. Paul and Minneapolis,
along the various lines in that direc-
ton, and also for nice. modest class of
homes and lots near the motor line at
Inver Grove.
We think the situation to-day is a
most promising one, and we look for
good healthy increase in business from
this time on. 1t has been very hard to
get money to loan on residence prop
erty IN st. Paul during the past two
months. owing to the unfavorable crit
iciSms aroused by the action of our leg
iSfature, but it looks now as though we
soon Will be relieved of any anxiety in
that matter by the early retuPa af these
gentlemen to their homes, when | have
no doubt but what our Eastern friends
and clients Will remember the success
of their former ventures in this direc-
ton and send on their money promptly
and in large quantities for invest
ment.
The success and growth of our city
rests entirely with our own citizens. If
they have love for country, love of city,
and love of home sufficient in their
hea rtS to make them do their duty, no
one need fear the result. / trust you
will be able to shake up the slumber-
ing, sleeping element in our city, to the
end that we may all see a season of
prosperity during 1891.
