PARIS, May 10.-The Chilean Congress
sional leaders here deny that the failure of
peace negotiations was due to the demands
of the Congressional party.
Their advices state that President Bal
maceda, after offering to treat, changed
his mind upon hearing of the sinking of
the war-ship Blanco Encalada, and made
the publicity given to the proposals of the
Congressional party an excuse for
rupturing negotiations. The leaders of
the eanti-Government party say that their
losses on the sea will not affect their final
victory.
The Congressional party, according to
the same authority, possesses an organ
lied army which is about to march upon
Santiago. Even if the troops be confined
to threatening in action, Balmaceda
must surrender within three months be-
cause of the collapse of his resources. The
$4,000, 900 reserve which he held prior to
the lnSurrection is exhausted, and he has
now no sources of revenue.
Fifty steamers at Valparaiso laden with
coal, which were detained by order of
Balmaceda, have now been released, un-
der pressure from foreign powers, and
are about to trade at the ports held by the
Congressional party. These vessels will
load with nitrateS, the duty on which will
bring the insurgents large sum. AL
though Godoy failed to raise loan in
Europe, the agent of the Congressional
party has been promised assistance here.

MADRID, May 10.-General Foster, the
American Reciprocity Envoy, having
failed in his negotiations for q general
treaty between Spain and the United
States, suggested secret treaty which has
also failed to meet the approval of the
Spanish Ministry.
He therefore agreed to conclude a
simple convention on the basis O'Donnell
proposed for treaty.
This convention necessarily comprises
a double tariff, the first commencing in
July and enduring until Spanish treaties
with other powers are renounced in July,
1892, when the second comes into opera
ton. The convention provides for the
free entry into the United States Of sugar,
honey, cocoa. coffee and skins from the
Spanish West Indies, tobacco and iron
ore paying the duty eXacted by the
United States tariff. In exchange the
Spanish Colonies in the West Indies are
to receive American coal, ice, wood,
boots, shoes, fresh and salted meats and
fish either free or under small duty,
While butter and drfppings are entirely
from three and one-half to one half dollar
per barrel with the same reduction on
corn
The tariff on dry goods and husbandry
machinery will afford the United States
no material advantages until 1892, because
any privileges accorded will be repeated
by Great Britain, France, Germany and
Belgium treaties, thus injuring Americas
future interest. Competent authorities
calculate that Cuba will suffer a reduc-
ton in the custom receipts of $500, 900
monthly,

The Origin of High Heels.

Heels, it is said, owe their origin to
Persia, where they were introduced upon
sandals in the shape of blocks of wood
fixed underneath, such being the root
idea of those deformities to which lovely
woman owes so many of her woes. A
high, unsteady heel, it is an open secret,
Injuries the leg tendons and affects the
spine as well as the internal organs,
which are liable to be displaced by the
thrown-forward position entailed.
In Persia. the first home of the high
heels, however, the blocks of wood were
used simply to ''raise the feet from the
burning sand of that country, and were
about two inches high" With the Per-
slah women these blocks were vastly
higher than those erected by the men.
their hight being from eighteen inches to
two feet, thus becoming more of the ma
ture OF Stllts than anything else
strangely enough, many years after, a
similar fashion came into vogue in Ven
Ice; but the motive in this case was comi-
cally different, for ''by its means Jealous
husbands thought they would be able to
keep their wives at home" The supports
OF such shoes in Venice We're called
"chaplneys," and to appease the vanity of
the ladies, and doubtless also to sugar tho
pill, were made highly ornate.
The hight Of these chapineys deter
mined the rank of the wearer an extra
coating for the pill, "the noblest DANES
being permitted to wear them one-half
yard or more high. 1.-The Hospital.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The will of
Admiral Rohan was filed at Washington
Wednesday. 1t was executed on the
steamship Gascoyne, of the French line,
on April 27, 1887, on voyage from Havre
to New York.
The entire estate is willed to his sister
in-law, the widow of Rear-Admiral Dahl
gren.
On August 21st, a few months before he
died, he sent a note to Mrs. Dahlgren
properly witnessed, in which he said: 81
bequeath all my estate to you by will of
1887, which you have"
Over half century ago he quarreled
with his brother, Admiral Dahlgren,
knocked him down and was fined in the
Police Court. The result of this was that
he refused to longer bear his fathers
name, and took that of his mothers
family. He refused to serve in the
American navy during the civil war, lest
he should be brought under his brothers
orders. He served in the Turkish navy
as Captain, and with Garibaldi for the
Liberation of Italy, commanding the ma
rlne division at the siege of Rome. He
advanced nearly quarter of million
dollars to the house of Savoy, and was

light OF the Ising-LeaderS Arrested
at San Jaques.
HALIFAX, May 10.-The latest advices
about the affairs at Fortune Bay, Nova
Scotia, are to the effect that more than
eighty schooners had escaped with bait
to ST. Pierre.
The crews of the schooners disposed of
the bait all right, but the trouble was
how they could get home again and
escape the law.
After much deliberation in st. Pierre,
thirty-fve of them determined to risk it,
and accordingly put out for home. They
were accompanied by twenty more
schooners which had not been in the
bait traffic but whose crews sympathized
with them.
The Tiona, Lady Glover and Favorite
helplessly followed, the men on board the
schooners threatening to fire if they
were interfered with
The fleet got into San Jaques in the
evening and the smugglers soon ascer-
tained the strength of the bait protective
squadron as represented by the crews of
TiOna and Lady Glover. They landed
with the fixed determination OF defying
arrest.
The Tiona and Lady Glover however
received reinforcements by the steamer
Conscript, and the men, seeing that they
had overwhelming numbers to deal with,
gave in. Thirty-tive men were at first
arrested, but that number was afterward
reduced to eight, who were considered
to be the ringleaders of the breakers.

Electric IInht.

1t has been remarked as showing what
a powerful element of health the electric
light is, that the general health of those
who use it improves, their appetite and
their ability to sleep increase, and tho
visits of the doctor become less frequent.
This is especially apparent in the statis-
tics of the attendance of working people
in factories and other places. In the saw
ings bank in Queen Victoria street. Lon
don, where 1,200 persons are employed,
the absences from illness have been so
far reduced that tho extra labor gained is
said to have paid for the electric light.
The influence of artificial light on the eyes
has also very important sanitary bear
ing. Il has been asserted that the injury
to the eyes, of which the growing short
sightedness of the day is but one result, is
due TO the heat rays and not to the light
rays. If that be SO, the electric light is
less injurious than any other. If the
eyes are exposed to the strong light of the
arc lamp, it's ultraviolet rays have a
painful effect, but no one has ever COM
planned of the influence of steady glow
lamp upon the sight, and it is possible to
read and write for many hours by such
light without experiencing the least fa-
tigue.-Nea0 York Sun.
