GILLIAN REVOLUTION.
The Conference Fails to Agree.

President Balmaceda rejected the de-
mands Of the delegates from the insur-
gents who have been trying to come to
some understanding by which the civil
war might be terminated. There is
therefore Il complete rupture in the
peace negotiations, and it would APP
pear the struggle will have to continue
until one or the other is completely
crushed. The president has given no.
tice Of the withdrawal of bank notes,
which will take place at the rate Of 10
per cent monthly. He demands all
import duties TO be paid in silver.
Much excitement was caused by the
attempt TO assassinate the leading
members of the cabinet. The persons
engaged in the plot sought to take the
lives of the ministers by means of a
bomb thrown at the intended victims
in the street.

Once upon u time n burglar, who
had contrived TO get himself into II
gentcman's house in the night time,
was met by the owner OF the mansion
with little in the way of dress, but a
good deal in the way OF u revolver.
If you are law-abiding citizen,"
said the burglar, 'you win not inn
brue your hands in blood and alarm
this quiet neighborhood."
"Your abstract proposition, re-
sponded the proprietor, calmly, "can
be better argued hereafter
He put four bullets in various parts
OF the burglars person and then con-
tinued:
My friend, your premises were not
well taken because they were my
premises; therefore your argument,
like your body, falls to the ground. ~
