Certainly surpasses US in the inventive genius
of its citizens or In the business sagacty of its

SANTIAGO, Oct. 2.-Returns of the election
show the overwhelming defeat of the Clerical
party. The Liberals have a large majority in
the electoral college, the duties of the
members of which are, to great ex-
tent, similar to those of presidential
electors in the United States with this important
difference: That the members themselves Sc
lect and appoint the chief of state. The popu-
larity of the liberal party IL shown by the fact
that it has elected thirty candidates for the
senate, while the clericals elected two. In the
troll of the house with a majority of thirty. The
returns show the election of sixty-tuo liberals
and thirty-two clericals.
CHICAGO, Oct. 2L-Pedro Montt, of Santiago,
Chile, arrived today on the way home from Wash.
ington City. The enormous debts piled upon
Chile by Balmaceda will be heavy burden for
several years to come, said Mr.. Montt. Bal
maceda went into wild career of extravaganza
toward the last, yet the debts he contracted
the Chilean republic will be compelled to pay.
The junta, or present provisional government,
will be supplanted by a permanent government
organization, to take place Immediately after
the coming election. As soon as the new presi-
dent and new congress shall have been elected
the work of reconstruction will progress rap

VALPARAISO, Oct 21.-In regard to the row be-

ALASKA MAIL ROUTES.
Postmaster at Sitka Visiting Here-very
Meagre Service.

Miss Paulina Cohen, postmaster at sitka,
Alaska, was in Seattle yesterday, and was shown
through the local Office by Inspector r. r. Num-
roe and Postmaster Griffith Davis. Miss Cohen
said that she had lived in sitka for twenty
years, but had been in the postoffiee only three
years. 81 am so glad to take short vacation"
said she, "that hardly know how to put in my
time to best advantage. After visiting my rela-
tives in Seattle shall go to Portland and stay
few days before startling back Speaking OF
the condition of Alaskan mail service, she
pointed to the fact that General Post
Office Inspector Robert R. Munroe
had visited Sitka last September and
expressed himself well satisfied with the con-
dition of affairs. ''You see," said Miss Cohen
''there had not been government official of the
postoff +. department in Alaska since 1857, so
now tina. an inspection has been made we think
that our section must be worthy of notice. At
present there are thirteen postoffices in Alaska
and three mail routes. The line from Port
Townsend to Sitka has seven offices, and Fort
Wrangle- Howcan route two offices. The Sitka
and Unalaska route has four offices, but receives
mail only during seven months of the year, and
during that time once month. Sitka, Juneau
and Douglass have special offices for the mails,
but in all other places the offices are in stores.
The largest mails come from Seattle. The last
boat brought ifty-one registered letters. The
population of sitka is 1,190. At present there
are in course of construction three buildings by
order of the navy department, consisting of q
marine barracks, magazine and shell house."

SENSATIONAL WILL CASE.
Revelations in the Contest OF the Heirs
OF San Franciscan.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 2L-A petition was filed
today by Thomas Broderiek and Louis Heyden-
feldt, sons of the late Solomon Heydenfeldt, and
by Leila, daughter of deceased, asking for
revocation OF the will admitted to probate on
September TO- 1900 Heydenfeldt left an estate
valued at 500 900, the bulk thereof being be-
oueathed to Elizabeth Howard, alias Burke.
The petitioners, who are children of Heyden-
feldt by his legal wife Catherine, allege
that the Howard woman possessed great
influence over deceased, and that mere
tricious relations between the two, which began
in 1873, continued until his death in September,
1890. 1t is further alleged that knowing de-
ceased was fond of children, the Howard
wsman entered into an agreement with Heyden-
felt whereby she was TO receive large sum OF
money for every child she bore him. and that to
secure money from him she had liasons with
number of people. 1t is further claimed that
Sunshine, Thor, Oxen, Elm and Moody Hey
denfelt are in no sense children of Solomon
Heydenfeit, though the latter conveyed vslu-
able property to them while under that impress
sion. Charles Ashton and julius Jacobs, execu-
tors of the will, are charged with having con-
spired to defraud the petitioners in the matter.
In the matter of the petition OF leila Hellings,
the married daughter of Heydenleit, Juoge COT
fey ordered that a citation issue for Ashton
Jacobs and devisees. under the viii, TO show
cause tomorrow why the order admitting the
viii to probate should not be vacated. The

M'NEIL FAMILY AT 1T AGAIN.
Golden State Landlord Gets Riotous
and Ii Arrested.


John Mcneil, proprietor of the Golden State
hotel, was on the rampage last night, and
result the personal effects of Mrs Nc
Neil were badly used, the door and
window of her room shattered and
the landlord locked up at police headquarters.
Mrs. Mcneil and her son went TO theater last
night to see Ida siddons, the song and dance
lady, who is personal friend of Mrs. Mcneil.
Mr.. Mcneil knew that she had gone, and took
all the money in the house, some 500,
and started out to gamble. Later he came
back and said he was 500 ahead OF the game,
and was going back to try it again. He did
so, and lost all he had won and the
s100 he took from the house. Then
he returned and took all the change
from the money drawn, and went down to the
theater and took box. across the theater from
his wife. He invited one of the girls to join him
in some beer and soon became hilarious. He
talked across the theater TO his wife
and called her vile names, all the while holding
his companion on his lap. Soon he went
around to the box where his wife was seated
with her son, and commenced to abuse
her, and as result was thrown from the
theater. He went to the hotel and insisted on
throwing his wifes things into the street, but
was prevented by the clerk.
About this time Mrs. McNiel came home and
the lord of the house went at her in Sullivan
style, but was stopped again by the cook.
Foileo In this ne became enraged
and abusive. Young McNiel said: ssYou
have no right to call my mother such Names"
This made Mcneil very angry and
the mother said, "Come, my son, leave
him." and retired to her room, taking
the boy with her. Mcneil jumped for
the door, broke the panel and smashed
the lock to pieces, but could not
get In. Then he raised the window, 1.-THE room

the boy, but fortunately no one
was injured. At this point Mrs. Mcneil
asked the clerk to telephone for an
officer. The clerk did as requested, and
in the meanwhile prevented the crazed man
from doing any damage.
Captain Peer arrived and tried to quiet
things. but Mcneil said: stake
me to jail, take US all to
Jail, whereupon the captain turned him over to
an officer and he was locked up for the night.
Mrs. Mcneil will appear in court to-
day and have her husband re-
committed to Jail. Mcneil was released
about four days ago under bonds to keep the
peace, but, as Mrs. Mcneil expressed it, she
effervesced."
