BALMACEDA'S CRUISERS
THE ERRAzURIZ SUCCEEDS IN
GETTING A CREW.
She Sets Sail from Lisbon for South
America, Well Manned, Coaled and
Provisioned-The Pinto Afoat and
Sailors Coming from Chile to Man Her.

LISBON, July 81. - The Balmacedan
cruiser Presidente Errazuriz left this
port this morning and anchored short
distance off shore; she is being carefully
watched by the authorities.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Chilean
minister received the following telegram
from Lisbon this morning:
"This morning at O'Clock the Presi-
dente Errazuaiz, we'll manned, coaled
and provisioned, left Lisbon for Chile.
The intrigues and false reports of the in
surgents were not able to prevent her
from sailing. The cruiser has 2O0 Chilean
sailors on board and a few European
volunteers. She will remain at port
on the Atlantic, where the rest of her
crew awaits the cruisers arrival.
Another dispatch received by the
legation from Paris, says the cruiser
President Pinto, which was stranded at
Toulon, was righted again without hav-
ing suffered injury. The cruiser will get
ready to leave Toulon Immediately to
complete preparations and continue her
voyage to Chile at once. The Chilean
government has sent complete crew OF
fine sailors to meet the cruiser with
whom she will continue her voyage to

THE LUMBER TRADE.
Statistics Showing the Exports From the
Pacific Coast.

Pacific Coast.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3l.-The Pacific
Coast Wood and Iron Journal, in pre-
senting statistics of the lumber export
trade during the first six months of the
present year says: 1.-The export trade
was good, notwithstanding the numer-
GUS drawbacks 1t has undergone at sew
erai of the most important points ol
shipment. As compared with the ex-
ports of the corresponding period last
year, we are nearly 100000 short,
while we are nearly 100000 feet
in excess of the exports for the same
time IN 'S9. The unsettled state of af-
shipments to that quarter to certain
extent, and the reaction of the building
boom in Australia, has caused more
caution to be used on the part of export
ers in that trade. Taking these draw
backs into consideration we have no
cause for complaint regarding the fig
ures. The exports during the first six
months Of '91 aggregated 81, 1856, 900 feet.
as against SO, $50 900 feet in the same
period in go, and 1886, ,00O
feet in the first six months of '89. The
values OF the exports aggregated for the
period of six months $872, 900 in 1891,
$8SS, 900 in 1890, and $692,000 in 1889.
The countries to which the principal
shipments were made were Australia,
1877, 900 feet, of the aggregate value Of
1897 900; the Hawaiian islands, S, S,076, ,00O
feet, valued at $1O9, 900; Chile, +, ,133, 900
feet, valued at $4,000; Peru, 4,772, 900
feet, valued at $4,000; China, 1 ,425,- :
600 feet, valued at $4,000. The princi-
pal ports of export were Port Blakely,
Wash, 1S, 100000 feet; San Francisco,
10, ,402, 900 feet; Tacoma, 4,7S3,000 feet !;

BELLAiRE, o., July 3l.-Another hor-
ror has been added to the late list OF
railroad accidents in Ohio. This morn
ing passenger train on the Bellaire,
GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati narrow gauge
road left the track three miles south of
Bellaire, two cars being overturned and
dragged some distance. Seventy pas
sengers were on the train, and the two
cars were crowded. Assistance was soon
on hand from the other passengers and
the trainmen, and when all were finally
taken out of the wrecked cars it was
found that fourteen people were injured,
four seriously and one fatally. The train
was running thirty-ive miles per hour,
and as it reached curve the cars were
noticed to sway violently, and unheed-
ing the cries for the passengers to keep
their seats, rush was made for the
doors. Many of the frightened passen-
gers had reached the platform when the
cars jumped the rails, and when they
turned over, in another moment, these
were hurled into the ditch. The seri-
ously injured are as follows: John Nor
ris, baggagemaster, will die; Charles
McElroy, John Irwin, G. P. Wilcox.
In addition to these many were badly
bruised, but able to take care of them
selves, and this afternoon they went to
their destinations.

Must Have Dogs.

EDITORS HERALD: Knowing you to be
the friend of the laboring class, I hope
you will have the kindness to publish
these few lines. What authority has
the council to order the dog catcher to
catch dogs in isolated parts of the city :?
live on Brooklyn Heights, where
thieves from all over the city do almost
as they please, stealing chickens, hose,
and even clothes from the lines. We
have no policemen, although we pay
taxes to keep them. Our dogs are the
only protection we have. and as we have
to turn our dogs loose once in while
for exercise, they are caught by the dog
catchers, who are too lazy to earn a liv-
ing by honest labor, and fine of 50 is
charged to help pay the high salaried
officials who run this city. The people
of Brooklyn Heights pay as much taxes
as those of any part of the city, but we
have no police protection, bridges or
graded streets. Catch all the dogs you
want in the principal streets, Mr.. May
or and councilmen, but, leave the sub
urbs alone. JOHN G. MOORE.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 31.-Early this
morning fire consumed the Montana
livery stables, saloon, lodging house,
and number Of Chinese stores. The
charred remains of George Williams, a
meat-monger, were found in the ruins
of the lodging house. A negro cook and
his wife are at Providence hospital,
probably fatally burned. Early during
the progress of the fire the ne
gro jumped head first from the
building. His form was covered with
flames, and as he fell his bones
were heard to crack. The burned flesh
hung in threads from hisquivering form.
The woman also jumped, and when she
fell blood streamed from her mouth,
nose and ears. One of the buildings
burned was Chinese store, and for fl
teen minutes the cannonading fire.
crackers sounded like roar of artillery.
The horses that were turned loose from
the Montana stables, rushed madly
through the streets, cuusing the crowd
to stampede frightfully. 1t required
tremendous work to save the surround
ing buildings. There were six build
ings burned. The loss is $4,000; in
surance less than $4,000.
