BALMACEDA'S BETRAYAL.
A Late Arrival From Chile Tells tn
Story of the Dictator's Death.

A Late Arrival From Chile Tells the
Story of the Dictator's Death.
SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. ia special
to the Post-Intelligeucer from Port
Townsend, Wash, says: j. Perkins
Shanks, an American engineer who for
the past twenty-five years has resided
in Chile, and who arrived here few
days ago, tells the story of how Balma-
ceda was betrayed. He says: "Balma-
ceda was betrayed by the Argentine
minister, Sef1or Uribirru, in Santiago,
in this manner: When Balmaceda sent
his minister to request the hospitality
of Senior Uribirru to shelter him against
the attack of the insurgents, it was
agreed that Balmaceda should arrive
at the Argentine legation at O'Clock
in the morning. When he arrived he
was met by the senior, and on entering
he met face to face the wife of his most
bitter enemy, Mrs. Carlos Walker Mar
tinez, who had taken refuge in the same
legation, fearing an attempt on
her life on the part OF Balmaceda. Great
confusion followed the meeting, and the
lady was compelled to take a solemn
oath not to divulge the whereabouts of
Balmaceda. But she entered into an
intrigue with the Argentine minister to
betray Balmaceda to George Montt.
Word was sent notifying Montt Of
Balmaceda's hiding place. Montt inn
mediately took steps to induce the
ex-dictator to surrender himself peace
ably to the newly constituted authori-
ties, promising every guarantee of fair
and just trial. Balmaceda agreed to
surrender after the holidays. From the
day Balmaceda received the first word
from Montt, he commenced preparing
for death and began writing instructions
disposing of all his personal affairs, and
when the time arrived for him to sur
render, he killed himself, knowing he
could not receive justice"

mel. She lost two boats and the crew
became almast exhausted.
A hurricane swept over Camp Alder
shot today, doing considerable damage,
blowing off the glass roof of the bar
racks and damaging every building on

fortunately, were at divine service when
the storm broke out and no one was in
jured, the church in which the service
was held having withstood the gale.
Vessels arriving at Queenstown report
terrific weather on the Atlantic.
Buildings have been unroofed at the
Welch seaport of Lanlly, and DR.. Rees
was fatally injured by roof falling on
him.
Along the Yorkshire coast there has
been a severe snow storm. The sus-
pension of the railway service is re-
ported.
Floods are reported in many parts OF
Derbyshire, and many streets are under

ley damage amounting to thousands OF
pounds has been done by high water.

THE BOMB THRO WEIR.
All DOUBT Removed as to the Identit
of the Dead DYnamiter.

Boston, Dec. 13.-In an interview to.
night, Mrs. Norcross said the letter
found in her sons desk, addressed to
her, removed from the minds OF herself
and husband all doubts that Henry, hel
son, was the man who threw the bomb
at Russell Sage. The opening sentence
OF the letter was: II got to New York
to get 81 ,250, 900. If do not succeed, !
will kill myself" She refused to di-
vulge the further contents of the letter,
but finally said: He was insane, and
made martyr of himself in the inter
est of his inventions and the good OF So
ciety."

the ground that their business arrange
ments hardly permitted their views to
be made public. Others said the act
had been in operation too brief time to
enable them to form definite judgment
OF the result. The summing up of the
other interviews shows the concensus of
opinion to be that the effects of the law
will not be detrimental to either Euro
pean or American trade. 1t is thought,
however, that the law will result IN the
gradual cheapening of good literature in
both countries

The city park is constantly becomin,
more and more attractive. The latest at
fractions arc a mountain lion, a bust o
Gen. Grant and a beautiful grotto formed
Of limestone rocks. The rocks cam,
from Mr.. PetersOn's ranch and are oil
varied and peculiar shapes which have
been caused by the action of the waters
upon them. The grotto is neal the west
entrance. Next year it will be surrounded
by young spruce trees and beds of various
colored flowers.
The grotto on three sides and iron
bars on the other form a cage for the
mountain lion which is a fair specimen of
the taxidermist art. The lion and also
the bust Of Grant we're presented BY
Fred Bohnstedt.
There will be a band concert at the park
today by the Union Pacific band from
$50 to $50 IN the evening.

afternoon. Sykes places the number of
fish caught at l72, but the balance Of the
party only claim a catch of nine. There
is quite a discrepancy in the count, but as
Sykes made a big winning on the ball
game he is excusable. Charlie Connors

TO RUSSIA.

That we should thrive on the misfor,
tunes of Others is perhaps unfortunate.
That the United States is probably on
the eve of a prosperous season because
Russia is famine swept is a truth of much
interest to the great body of people of
this country. Upon the question of the
actual condition of crops in Russia de
ponds the future price of wheat in
American markets.
Other countries too are interested. Ger
many, France and England look to Rus,
sia for a large portion OF their supplies of
wheat and other grain and If the supply
is short these countries will be heavy
purchasers from America. The Chicago
Tribune, distrusting any information on
the subject coming through the s~pecula-
tors of New York has secured from the
August issue of the Free Russia, a publ
cation devoted to the interest OF the
peasant classes of Russia, the following
summary OF the situation:
"A terrible calamity has fallen on the
Russian people: a famine, a truly medieval
famine, is certain to visit the empire in the
course of the forthcoming year. The
crops have been destroyed, or almost de-
stroyed in twenty-six provinces of Euro
pean Russia In SIX provinces more than
one-half of the districts are afflicted with
the same calamity. In thirteen provinces
the harvest promises to be middling-
sufficient for the needs of the population.
leaving no surplus. Only in the nOrthern
Caucasus, in the few northern provinces,
and in three districts OF the southeast the
harvest is expected to be above the
average. and the region which has sui
fered most is the one that is the most fer.
tile and that has been the granary of the
empire"
While we may sympathize with the
Russians in the visitation of this calamity
OF famine we can appreciate very fully
any of the benefits which may accrue to
our own country.

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSO-
CATIONS.

Many people are astonished at the
disastrous failures in the list of the
national building and loan associations.
In direct and striking contrast with these
failures among the nationals" is the
success OF local associations. No form of
cooperation has been so successful as the
home building and loan associations in all
parts of the country. Managed with the
utmost economy, the local building and
loan associations are the greatest helpers
W homes, while to those who use them
as a savings bank they make a gratifying
return.
The talk of % to 30 per cent per
annum profit is preposterous. Local
associations aim to earn from 10 to is
per cen per year and mature their stock
in from five to seven wears. They are
enabled to do this mainly because the
officers serve for no pay and the expenses
are nominal.
The nationals" all run on a broad
gauge of expense; large salaries, hosts of
employees, heavy advertising bills and an
army of travelling agents. These agents
play the mischief; they make promises
the companies can never redeem, and the
army of disappointed shareholders con-
tinue to harass the companies into dis
credit and death before the usual results
Of extravagant mismanagement would
naturally kill them.
The local associations need no defense.
The shareholders own them and manage
them and fraud is almost impossible.

GEORGE JONES.
The Editor VINO Smashed the Tweed
Ring In New York.

The New York Times is in some re
spects the most Influential paper in the
City Of New York. and it has been under
the control of George Jones since 1851.
George Jones was born in Poultnoy, N.
Y in 1909. He commenced business in
Albany, n. Y, as a newsdcaler, from
which he branched out IN the publishing
business. Subsequently he engaged in
banking, in which he attained considera-
bic success. In his management of the
Times Mr.. Jones has set a noble example
to other newspaper proprietors OF New
York. He attended to his business in a
, 1891-08-16

business like way, and did not pretend to
be the greatest editor and publisher in
the world. He employed men in whom he
reposcd the most implicit confidence. He
was as modest as the most humble of the
clerks in the model business department
of his great establishment. No one in
the Times building ever heard any one in
his en- loy speaks harshly of him. In
deed, ne was known to but few OF the edi
tors and reporters and probably did not
visit their quarters IN the upper part OF
the building more than twice a year, and
then only to see whether he could
IN some way, add to their
comfort. OF course he was
IN constant communication with his eli-
tors, and the principal ones visited him
daily and consulted his wishes. 1t was not
often that he made suggestions or found
fault with the matter and makeup of the
paper. Everything went like clock work
in the Office and there was rarely any tur-
mol or excitement there. lie was a little
man, with a large heart, a large brain and
a quiet tongue. lie was a generous man
and his acts OF charity are many. Mr..
Jones and the New York Times have
achieved undying fame in their war on
the Tweed ring, which led to the crush
ing of that infamous organization. Mr..
Gilbert Jones, Mr.. George Jones son. is
the business manager of the Times. Ii
was the Republican organ, but supported
Cleveland and boiled Blaine. 1t is
now free trade and ''mugwumpian' in
its opinions. The death of George Jones
removes oncot she great figures in Ameri,
can journalism.
