Formally Proclaimed President.

VALPARAISO, Chill, Dec. 24.-Congress
today, after careful scrutiny of the re-
cent electoral vote, formally proclaimed
Jorge Montt Balmaceda's successor as
president of Chill. Probably the new
cabinet will include: Ramon Burros
Lucas, as minister of the interior; Fran
cisco Vergara, now manager of the bank
of Valparaiso, as minister of finance,
and Blame Viel; an able, bright man, as
minister of foreign affairs to succeed
Malta, whose reply to the American
governments demand for redress in the
Baltimore affair called forth President
Harrison s criticism in his recent mes
sage. Augustin Edwards, the. banker
and one of the foremost men in the con-
seryative party, will probably retain his
present position of minister of public
works.

ROME, Dec. 26.-The directors today
say it is the intention of the pope to
confer the grand order of the cross of
Christ upon the arch bishop of AK, as a
token of the sympathy of his holiness
with the arch bishop in the latter's re-
cent inviction and fine for writing an
insulting letter to the French minister OF
public worship, should the diretor's in
formation prove correct, it means the
pope's defiance to the government and

A sexere SNOW storm.

All day yesterday a blizzard prevailed
throughout Nebraska. The weather
turned intensely cold and the wind blew
at terrific rate, and snow fell in great
quantities. Traffic on all railroads in
the state is seriously retarded and in
many cases along the western division
of the Union Pacific trains are blockaded.
The snow has drifted furiously. Stock
has suffered intensely but the farmers
feel partially compensated for the loss
of their ssock in the fact of having their
winter wheat well protected. In the in
terror portion heavy fall of snow oc-
CURED before it turned so cold, conse-
quently the winter grain is well pro.
tected. The storm extended through.
out Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming and the
Dakotas. In Wyoming the loss of stock
is reported as unusually large with 6
complete train blockade.

Delinquent subscribers Must Pay Up.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-It will be sorry
Christmas for many delinquent sub
scribers to the worlds fair stock. This
morning nearly 200 executions were put
in the hands of constables, with instruc-
tions to levy on the property of those
who have not paid up. The constabless
were told to serve the writs of attach
ment at once, and accept no explana-
tions nor promises from the delinquents.
This vigorous policy is made necessary
by the large demands made on Treas
urer Seeberger by the contractors at
jackson park. The funds of the worlds
fair are lower now than they haye been
at any time since the first assessment
was ordered. Treasurer Seeberger has
less than 100000 to the credit of the ex-
position in the banks of Chicago.

PEKIN, Nov. So.-The government is fully
aware OF the serious condition which eonfronts
1t, and every possible step is being taken to
break the strength OF che rebels before they get
within striking distance OF the capital.
There is much excitement here among all classes
of population, and the authorities believe
that If they can inhct defeat upon the rebel
forces 1t viii have good effect upon the people
OF PeSin and vicinity. Ii is believed that
many people are secretly in favor of the rebels,
out should the imperial forces do battle with
the insurgents aud defeat them, the malcon-
tents would then side with the government No
oouot Is entertained that tho situation would
be dangerous should the rebel forces continue
TO advance toward the capital in spite OF the
efforts of the imperial troops to prevent them.
1t Is feared by foreigners that the whole coun-
try Will rise and aid the invaders. The garri-
son of shankaikivan has been sent to suppress
other insurreetionGry bodies which are march,
ing in various directions through the country,
evidently with the intention OF joining the
msin body
The most serious condition OF affairs exists at
Takoa. Al this place the most brutal outrages
were committed on priests. nuns and converts
What action the government Will take in this
matter is hard to say That the officers are in
full sympathy with the perpetrators of
these most horrible crimes there is no
stated that after these fiends had worked their
bloody will on all the Christian men, women
and children who fell into their hands they
were feasted by the leading man
darins in the district 1t is now said
the local mandarins agreed to allow the rebels
free license for ou,rases on Christians provided
they aid no harm TO the other inhabitants.
These terms were accepted by the rebels, and
they pursued their work without hindrance.
Three hundred Europeans and native Christians
were massacred 1t is believed not
single Christian in that district
escaped. CONSERVATION prevails among
the Protestant missionaries in the district
through which 1t is expected the rebels will
pass. The local officials of Tsuuha have de-
eiared that they are pOwerless to protect the
missionaries, and that If they desired to save
their lives they would better seek safety in
flight The missionaries at Tsunha have there
fore abandoned their stations and sought
refuge in safer parts OF the country

Sandwith and Stowe in vfctoria-Bonds-
man Fails to Kidnap One.

PORT TOWNSEND. Nov. 30.-[Special. l-Several
weeks ago the customs officers and revenue
officers OF the Wolcott made raid on the
ranchers of San Juan island and al rested eleven
OF them on the charge OF smuggling. They
Were taken to Tacoma and allowed to give
bail. The principals in the smuggling ring
were supposed to be Isaac sandwith and Silas
Stowe, and it was alleged there was sufficient
evidences to ceayict them. Most of them fur
nished bail, two ranehers of San Juan going
bail for Sandwith and stowe. When these two
returned they concluded that the evidence
against them was so strong that they had better
jump their bail. They made their bondsmen
acquainted with these facts and decided to them
their property TO cover their loss.
After they had departed for Victoria the
bondsmen looked up the title TO the land they
had been decided and found in both instances
the property had been mortgaged for its full
value, especially in the case OF stoves land.
One of Stoves bondsmen, young man named
semore, took a sloop and went to Victoria to find
Stowe and bring him back If possible He dis
guised himself aud found stowe in a saloon. 1t
was his intention to kidnsp him. Semore pro-
cured the services OF a boatman there TO assist
him, but when it came to the time for action
his assistant failed him, declaring he did not
wish to be compromised in any trouble The
amount OF bonds forfeited is $500. The balance
OF the men arrested went to Tacoma today to
stand trial, which will come off this week

three buildings were completely demolished.

was that the place had been visited by an earth
quake, and great excitement prevailed. When
the true source of the shocks became known,
and it was learned that there were many people
in the Crown hotel, the alarm OF the citizens
was much intensified. Exaggerated reports

brigade are still energetically digging in the
ruina SO far, I've persons have been recovered
aud one dead body taken out
