TO CHAIRMAN III NIFY.

TO CHAIRMAN NNIEY.
Chicago, July Eft begins to look as II Chairman
Finley and the Chicago and Alton road would never
arrive at an understanding. In a brief note TO Cen
ers Passenger Agent Charlton today Mr.. Finley In
formed that official that the reason his name had been
omitted from the latest eXcursion-ra circular was
because of the status OF the Alton under the agree
nent as defined IN q recent decision. This was any
thing but satisfactory explanation and Mr.. Charlton
has again written TO Mr.. Finley follows

SANTIAGO, Oct. 26.-The United
States government to day, through
Minister Eagan, formally demanded a
PREPARATION from the government Of
Chill for the attack recently made in
Valparaiso on number of seamen OF
the United States cruiser Baltimore.
Egan presented the Junta with a de-
tailed statement with the results of the
investigation made by Captain Schley

veatigaJion shows that Chas. Rigg9n.
one OF the Baltimore's petty officer,
was brutally assaulted by several Chi
ians while riding on a street car. Rig
gan resisted but was dragged from The
car and murdered. Turnbuil, another
of the Baltimore's wounded who dice
to-day from injuries. received no less

suit was brought IN the superior court
here to-day. Mary E. Belanger Of Port
Townsend is plaintiff and Robert H.
Crasswell, an English capitalist residing
at Bloomfield, Price Edward Island, is
the defendant Crasswell has large land
interests in this state and was here in
1884, when he became engaged to Mary
Belanger, to whom he promised $4,000
on the wedding day, The marriage was
postponed from time to time for four
years. While here IN 1888 she insisted
on the marriage. He refused unless she
would abandon her parents, who ran
restaurant. She declined to forsake her
parents and the engagement was broken
off by mutual consent. A year later she
became engaged to another man, and
Craswell hearing of it came here from
Canada and persuaded her to break off
her engagement by renewing his prom
Use to marry her and give her $4,000
The marriage was set for May, 1891, but
Crasswell said business affairs in Can
ada would prevent his coming to the
Pacific coast this year, but that if she
would meet him in Montreal in the lat
ter part of June he would marry her
She went there to the hotel he desig-
mated, and a minister was engaged to
perform the ceremony on the morning Of
June 80. The night before the marriage
was to occur Crasswell forced himself in
to her room, locked the door and made
improper advances. She refused to
comply with his wishes, when he became
angry and said he would not marry her
and left the hotel.

due cause. Egan, in presenting the
Chilian Junta with this statement, ex-
pressed in very distinct terms the feel
ing of great indignation which the state
department at Washington feels at the
whole affair; and especially at the bru-
tai conduct Of the police at Valparaiso
in joining with the mob in the latter's
attack on the BaltimOre's seamen; and
in drawing bayonets and using them
against unarmed Americans. Egan
also particularly calls attention to the
additional brutality of the police of
Valparaiso in using horses to drag the
Americans to prison. Eagan informed
representatives, of the junta that in the
name of the United States he demanded
a reparation for the insults and injuries
complained of The question which
arises is, what will be the action of the
Chiians? AS it appears now there
seems doubt that the jnnta will
soon make the reparation demanded.
Naturally the action taken to-day by
Minister Eagan is attracting the atten-
tion of foreign ministers and ministers
generally, who are resident in the re-
public. The sympathy of the American
colony is entirely with Captain Schley
and his blue jackets, and they are one
and all glad to receive news made pub
lie to day that another United States
war vessel, the Boston, has actually
sailed for these waters, The Chilians
try to smooth oyer the assault upon,
and the Imprisonment OF, the American
sailors by chasing it as a street row.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-In Straffordshire

Oyerstocked With SeaISkins.

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. 28.-The seal
inc men are very blue over the condi-
,iop of the market for sealskins. The
fall sales of seaIskins, which determine
the price for the year, were held Mon
dav and instead of the sealskins being
in strong demand at high figures, the
market proved to be overstocked and
nnrchasers considered sixty shillings

6ftv-seven shillings, or about Sl3, and
of this price the business done was
trsnsacted. Eighteen dollars was the
standard price last year. aud owing to
the closing of Boring sea, and conse-
