LONDON, AnR 29.-Official dispatches re-
ceived in Berlin and Paris confirm the an
nouncement that the city of Valparaiso has
been captured by the troops of the con.
gresaionhl party OF Chill. The orderly
manner in which the congressional party's
forces occupied the stragetic points and the
quiet prevailing throughout Valparaiso has
been 40 marked that the admirals in COM
mand Of foreign fleets in Chilian waters
decided that there WAS no nsed for any in
tervention on the part Of the assembled
feet to protect the foreign population Of
Valparaiso.
The Globe this afternoon, commenting
upon the capture OF Valpa raiso and the
consequent downfall of Balmaceda, says
the congressional victory gives the Espiegele
affair much more serious complexion,
adding: Had Balmaceda won no diplo-
matte dispute would have followed; but
England will now have to explain what ap-
pears to be fragrant breach Of neutrality.
England is answerable for her agents, and
If the congressional party claims damages,
as it probably will, John Bull will find him
self with another Alabama imbroglio of far
less excusable character on HIS hads. II
the case is as bad as it appears to be, the
soundest policy would be to frankly admit
the blunder and come to some friendly
arrangement about compensation. Unless
we have good defence, a resort to inter-
national arbitration is strongly to be de-
precated."

Copper Statiatics.

The London Ironmonger says it is appar-
ent that "the recent level of prices is quite
sufficient to attract ample supplies of cop
per, and particularly to bring them to us
from the United States, where the produc-
tion of the mines is much greater than is
required for home consumption. It is true
that the deliveries of the past twelve
months have exceeded the supplies by some
14.00O tons, but in the previous twelve
months the excess Of deliveries was as much
as $4,000 tons. yet the price of bars during
the greater part of that period was under
ESQ, and at the highest (in August, 1890,
only touched EGO 81. per ton. The deliv-
cries last month were the lowest Of any
month since March, 1889, when the French
syndicate had collapsed, and if they are
any criterion of the present requirements
of consumers it follows as Il matter of GER
tainty that. there will be no early legitimate
rise in value. If attempts are made to
force up prices by the spectators who are
INTERCEPTED in Rio Tinto shares. buyers of
the metal may safely leave the market to
shape it's own ends and to defeat the manip-
ulators."

CONSUL GENERAL FLINT,
Thinks Balmaceda Will Make = Stand at
Santiago.


Santiago.
New YORK, Aug. 29.--The recently ap-
pointed Chilian consul general at New
York, Charles r. Flint, has always been a
warm supporter of Balmacedn and is un-
prepared to think that his chief is defeated.
In an interview tonight he said: $40 me
it hardly seems possible, much less proba-
BILE, that President Balmaceda met with de-
feat, because he had every advantage in his
favor from the beginning. His army was
greatly superior in numbers to that of the
insurgents, and he also had practically an
impregnable position. OF course this is
mere conjecture on my part, because T am
without particulars, but believe that if he
has been defeated it was because something
happened for which he was not prepared at
the outset. 1t has been said that more or
less discomfort existed among his
troops and large number of
them may, probably have deserted
taken sides with the insurgents his position
would have been so weakened of course
that an easy victory over him would have
been the natural result. That is the only
reason or explanation possible for me to
offer for his defeat.'
"Do you think that this battle will end
the WARP
n do not think so, unless President
Balmaceda and his principal lieutenants
are now prisoners in the hands of the in
surgents. If that proves to be the case the
trouble will. / suppose, end where it is.
But if the president succeeded iii reaching
Santiago, where he has another large force
of troops concentrated. the situation will
be somewhat different" The consul
general states that Balnaceda will now
concentrate his forces about santiago, and
if he has prestige enough to recall his troops
to his standard he will still have the larger
army. AT Santiago the rebel fleet will be
of no value and the government would
still have the advantage. Since the 27th
he had received no advices from Santiago.

CAUSES OF REBELLION.

Balmaceda Raputed Conservative States

New York, Aug. 29.--William M. Wins,
counsel for the Chilian legation, to-day
made lengthy statement of the causes
leading up to the Gillian revolutions. Bal
naceda. he sid. was elected five years ago
by the liheral party. He has had eight or
nine distinct cabinets Ill hls endeavor to
please the party and insure harmony among
the factions. 1t was impossible, however,
to satisfy the different wings. There were
a number of men in the party determined
to rule or ruin. Balmaceda Mr.. WINS says,
il an even-tempered, broad-minded man of
great forbearance. and he aequiesced in the
demands of the liberal leaders as long as
possible. Whenit became evident that to
further submit to congressional des
potism would be virtually 10 abdi-
cate his office, serious trouble
began. Compress refused to pass appropri-
alton bills and charged that the president
had u candidate to succeed him, whom he
was trying to force upon the country. To
settle this difficulty Balmaceda appointed
the gentleman in question to u cabinet Of
foe, thus removing him from the list of
candidates. Then, Notwithstanding that

An italian Syndicate Wants to Set Up q
Gambling Place.
New YORK, Aug. GA special to the
Herald from Chicago says: Henry r.
Omaged, of Monte Carlo. representing the
great gambling interests there. has been in
Chicago three or four days, and it is said
that his mission is to make proposition to
the Worlds fair people for the establishment
of a fac simile of the famous Monaco gam

position. According to the story
Mr.. Omaesd is authorized. to
purchase $1.OOO,OOO of Worlds fair
bonds for cash and offer one-third of the
gross receipts of the gambling table to the
fair directors for the privilege sought In
addition he guarantees the erection of
building to cost $lOOO.0O0, wherein the
gambling il to be carried on. There are
two drawbacks to the scheme, one being
that the laws against gambling are very Sc
we're and the other is that the directors
would not dare to accept owing to the howl
it would raise. II is reported that Nj.
OmaRed submitted his scheme to one of the
Chicago fair commissioners now abroad
and was advised to come to Chicago, which
he proceeded to do.

THE HOPPER OUTLOOK.
Dooidsdly Chcers. 10 Opinion oil
Prof. NJ.

Pref ~.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.--Bsfore the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement Of
Science Prot. Riley read paper entitled
The Grasshoppsr Outlook," :" giving a sum
mary Of the Investigations made during the
previous six weeks. He said that the whole
territory concerned snst OF the Rocky
mountains has been examined by agents OF
the department and the conclusions drawn
are quite reassuring.
The Rocky mountain locust was found
only in limited localities in North Dakota
and Minnesota, and the species producing
injury in Colorado, Kansas and other sec-
tions are species which have in the past
proved OF national Importance.
The injury done in parts of California is
due to species which are local in California.
Prof. Riley therefore takes cheerful view
of the outlook and foels that it is only
necessary to continue Investigations
with view OF learning as exactly as may
be the area over which ths eggs OF the de-
structive species are laid, go that If it be
necessary congressional aid may be secured
for the farmers during 1892.
There is no longer any danger of serious
general injury this fall. 1t il also import
ant that the United States should ascertain
the condition OF things in the territory
north OF our boundary line, and in this the
cooperation of the dominion government
10 desirable.

Hope for Both Had Fled aud They Died
e Together.
NEW YoKK, Aug. 29.-The World will
publish tomorrow, exclusively in America,
but in conjunction with the London Times,
which holds the original manuscript OF
pamphlet prepared by the family Of the
late Baroness Marie Yetzera, who was
found shot to death, together with her
lover, Rudolph, crown prince of Australia,
at Mayerling January 30 1889. The pamph-
let was suppressed by the Austrian imperial
family. 1t tells the whole story in so cir
cumstantinl q manner, backed by autograph
letters, rs to leave no doubt RS toits value
as a historical document. The important
feature is the infamous pait played in the
tragedy by NO less parsonage than a
niece of the empress of Austria. The
pamphlet accuses her of being not
only an intermediary, but black
mailer as we'll. Briefly summarized the
story is that Baroness Marie Yetzera, then
II years old, fell in love at first sight with
the crown prince, and frequently met him
IN an ordinary social waJ. Finally she en-
trusted her secret to Countess Larisch. the
empress of Austria's NIECE and this lady at
once undertook to act as go-between, while
taking advantage of her knowledge of the
state affairs to levy blackmail from the
prince.
At one time the mother of the girl sus-
peoted something aniss, but Countess
Larisch was ready with PLAUSIBLE tale.
At lsst the girl fed to Mayerling, by pre-
arrangement With the prince, and few
hours later her death was known by the
emperor, but not by the distracted mother,
who in vain implorsd the chief of police
and Count Tasfe Austrian PREMIER to cause
search to be instituted for her daugh-
ter. The truth OF double suicide, or muir
der and suicide, is at last definitely estab-
lished by this publication. The pamphlet
shows that the PRINCES mind had long been
given TO thoughts of suicide, but Marie did
her best to diasuade him from this fatal
step. 1t WAS not until hope for both of
them fled that she resolved to share his
death. For the first time ia revealed the
indlgnities offered her dead body. how she
was oarted away in sitting posture be-
tween her two uncles, even y coffin being
denied her relatives when moving her. how
her mother wns persecuted and villihsd,
how everything was done to lay blame on
the girl, forms narrowing story, as told by
the mother. Alleged falsehoods circulated
about her are exposed and her daughters
dying messages are given.
