THE CHILEAN REBELLION.
Leaders of the Anti-GOvernment Party Con

Leaders of the Anti-Government Party Con-
fdent Of Final Success.
PARIS, May 10.-The Chilean Congress
ssional leaders here deny that the failure of
peace negotiations was due TO the demands
Of the Congressional party. Their advices
state that President Balmaceda, after Offer
ing TO treat changed his mind upon hear
ing of the sinking of the war-ship Blanco
Encalado. and made the publicity given to
The proposals of the Congressional party an
excuse for rupturIng the negotiations. The
leaders OF the anti Government party say
their losses on the sea will not affect their
final victory.
The Congressional party, acc ordng to the
same authority, possess au organized army,
which Is about to march upon Santiago.
Even If the troops be confined to threaten
ing and inacti0n, Balmaceda must surren-
der within three months, because of the
collapse OF his resources. The $4,000, 600
reserve which he held prior TO the insurr &C.
tion Is exhausted and he has no sources of
revenue. Fifty steamers at Valparaiso laden
with coal which were detained by order of
Balmaceda, have now been released under
pressure from foreign powers, and are about
to trade at ports held by the Congressional
party. These vessels will load with
nitrates, the duty on which will bring the
insurgents large sum. Although GodOy
failed to raise a loan in Europe, an agent of
the Congressional party has been promised
assistance here

WHEAT PESTS.
Scheme to Scatter Infected Bugs Throughout
the State of Kansas

Scheme to Scatter Infected Bugs Throughout
the State of Kansas.
KANSAS CITY, May 10.-A letter to Sec
retary Mohler of the State Board of Agri-
culture from Chancellor Snow of the State
University of Kansas concerning his con-
elusions regarding the wheat pests has just
been made public. Mr.. Snow says the
present spring has been particularly unfaV-
OTable for the health of the chinch bug, but
still in twenty counties in the southeastern
part of the State the chinch bug is out in
full force. In other counties the pest is not
so numerous. The bugs in the fields are Che
remnant Of last falPS brood. The females
have been laying their eggs and the young
will soon be hatched. The eggs are very
susceptible to the influence of climatic con-
ditions, and if we should have heavy rains
between now and May Goth the crop Of
young bugs would be much ensnalled. Con-
tinuing, the report says: active measures
must be reSOrted to to keep the pests down.
Much hope is placed in the outcome of the
workings of the new remedy, namely-the
attempt to spread artifcialIy contagious
disease among the bugs. Experiments early
in the spring in the laboratory Indicate th9
activity of the eOntagion, and If the CO.
operation OF the farmers, by sending in
large numbers OF live, healthy chineh bugs
may be relied on, the station will be pre-
,,,aaEed to scatter infected bugs all over the
State"
Several reports showing the presence OF
the Hessian fly have been reeelVeu, Dut no
serious apprehension is felt.

the admission of those with tickets, and
a strong force Of police was posted to ex-
clude all others, though favored few of
the congregation gained entrance to the
gallery.
The church decorations were feature OF

all who had an opportunity to inspect them.

artistic arrangement Of tree ferns and

drapery of breath-of-heayen and snowballs.

CANON FARRAR.
he Is Spoken of as Bishop Brooks Successor
in Boston.

Boston, May 10.-It is generally under
stood here that the veStrymen of Trinity
Episcopal Church will extend an invitation
to Canon Farrar of London to come over
and accept the pulpit made vacant by the
elevation of Philips Brooks to the EpiscO-
pacy. Such a course, it is understood. is
favored by DR.. Brooks, who is stanch
admrer and friend of the Canon aud it is
partially due to remark Of the latter pub
licly uttered during his recent trip to this
country, that if he should ever be tempted
away from England he would come to Bos-
ton. A canvass of the veStrymen reveals
a unanimous disposition to be uncommuni-
cative upon the subject. All DR.. Brooks
would say was that he should most love to
have his dear friend thus associated with
him in church work. The idea meets with
popular approval.

Pellegrini opened Congress to-day. His

spite of the decrease in the customs revenue
the state of the Treasury is satisfactory.
Referring to the collapse of State banks, he
appeals for union on the part Of all sections
to save the nation from bank
ruptcy. The President is decidedly op-
posed to fresh issue of paper,
but is willing to accept any rational solution
that Congress proposes. He suggests the
formation Of a commission to decide the
matter. In conclusion, the President favors
reform IN the currency on a silver basis,
and announces important financial changes
