LONDON, Nov. IA despatch from Val
parHiso says that Acting President Montt
Is Fastening the trials of the various Bal
maccdists confined in prison on the
charges of being implicated in the alleged
atrocities committed under the orders Of
the late president. Although the feeling
against the PARTISAN, OF Balmaccda is
strongest at Santiago and VALPARAISO, yet
II is said that the treatment of conquered
Balmoccdists has been more cruel and
harsh in provinces farther removed from
oversight of civilization
At Naldiya, the dispatch says, u con-
siderable number OF Balmaccdist prison
ers are held, including number against
whom members of the iuutu and other in
huential persons in the successful party
have personal animosity. Some of these
have been cruelty tortured and many put to
death
Steps are being taken by the Chilian
government to regain control i'm ArauCa-
MIA. The garrsons in that region were
withdrawn by Bulmaccda in order 10
strengthen his military forces in the field,
and the ArauCanians, who are fierce and
independent, have been showing q dispo-
sition 10 move upon Gillian territory. The
Araucunians have never been fully sub
dued aud their hatred of the Chilians is
very bitter

HERE ARE THE FACTS.
Who introduced the
Railroad Fares Bill?
1T WAS PASSED IN 1884.
What the Providence Star and Tele-
gram Said at the Time.

The following clippings from the Tele-
gram and Star will show that the
TRIBUNE's statement that Hon. f. w.
Bucklin began the work OF reducing fares
on the railroads between Pawtucket and
Providence, and that the Sherman men
are trying to steal the credit which is Mr..
Bucklin's due. The law is Chapter 421 of
the Public Laws, passed May 1, 1884, at the
January session of the General Assembly.
The following is from the Telegram:
A CoMMESDABLE LEGISLATIVE MEASURE
We suggest to the members of both houses
of our Legislature the propriety of giving
prompt approval To the bill introduced on
Thursday last by Representative Bucklin of
Pawtucket. Its provisions meet and over
come n difficulty long complained of, and its
passage viii largely contribute To the con
venience and comfort of the public. II pro
vides that the Providence and Boston and
the Providence and Worcester Railroads
shall recognize and accept each others
tickets between Pawtucket and this city, and
that the coupons of et&er road should entitle
the holder to a trip To this city on any train
In the introduction of this bill Representa-
tive Bucklin has made Il judicious and praise
worthy move.
The Star, at the time, said:
Mr.. Bucklin's bill requiring the Boston and
Providence and Providence II Worcester
Railroad Companies to receive each Others
tickets between this city and Pawtuckct
seems to us to be reasonable one.
The bill was passed end the original is
on file in the Office OF the Secretary OF
State and bears the endorsement of Elisha
w. Bucklin, as introducing it.
AS Senator Sherman did not enter the
legislature until the may session of 1889,
no one but Dave Black could accuse him
of being the author of a bill passed in
1884.

1t is said on good authority that parties
interested in the Sherman campaign who
want to profit by the defeat of Mr.. Car
roll have raised a corruption fund OF inn
mense proportions.
II is said they have had their agents
going through the several wards during the
past ten days or more Offering induce
ments to those who are naturally Demo-

morrow.
This fact having become knuwn, any
Democrat who fails to appear at the polls

neighbors and associates suspect that the
reason he stayed away was because there

Let every Democrat then report promtly

CONTESTED WILL CASE,
In which "a Suit for Alternating u Wife,
Affections Also Figures.


NEW HAVEN, Nov. IA contested will
case, involving a suit for $4,000 for the
alienation of wife's affections, was held
by Judge Robertson In the probate court
here. Mrs. James S. Bodley died on July
20, giving her property to a Mrs. A. M.
Holmes, the wife of Appointment real estate
dealer Ht appeared from the evidence
that Bodley and his wife had not lived
very lovingly together for some time pre-
vious to her death, and that she had
made a deed of the property 70 Mrs.
Holmes previous to her disposition of 1t by
the will.
A suit to set aside that deed is now
pending in the superior court, besides an
other suit brought by Henry j. Hatch
against Bodley for $4,000 damage for the
alienation of Mrs. Hatch's affections. Bod
ley hopes to set aside the will on the
ground that his wife had no sufficient
capacity to make the will when she did,
and that at any rate it did not contain her
intentions, for she had determined to give
the property to Mrs. Holmes in trust for
him instead of giving it outright, as she
did by the deed and will
