ExnerImenta in Texna.

MIDLAND, Sept. 8.-The rainfall expe-
dition which has been conducting the
experiments at the Chicago ranch,
twenty-five miles from this place, will
proceed at once to Ell Paso. Mr.. John
s. Ellis, who is In command Of the ex-
pedition during General Dyrenforth's
temporary absence in Washington, is
making extensive preparations to have a
grand test at FL Paso. The mayor and
citizens Of Ell Paso have offered to bear
all expenses Of the experiments, but this
offer has only been accepted In part.
The smallness OF the appropriation un-
der which the rain-producers have been
working compels the acceptance of out
side help.
Many prominent men have written
and promised to be present to see Uncle
Sans rain produces make rain, and from
letters received from all over Texas il Ii
thought great many people will come.
A delegation from southeastern Texas
came TO see Mr.. Ellis Monday, and Of
Tered to advance $1,000 to pay the ex-
penses Of further experiment there.
Governor Hogg is greatly interested in
the subject. and is in correspondence
with Secretary Rusk in regard to the
continuance Of experiments in this state
at the expense Of the citizens. The rain
makers will probably go to southern
Texas and continue their experiments
there.

Hns Egan Roen I,rIhed9 2

New YORK, Sept. ga Washington
special to The World says:
A member of the diplomatic corps
who has recently returned from Europe
states that while he was abroad he heard
1t charged in several European capitals
that Minister Egan had been heavily
bribed by Balmaceda to prevent the
United States government granting any
recognition to the congressional party.
The informant declared that draft for
100000, drawn by the dictator on his
agents in London, had been traced al
most into the hands of Egan.
The delay in receiving this report has
been solved by the department. Acting
Secretary Wharton has received in
formation that the telegraphic connec-
tion between Santiago and Valparaiso,
the western cable terminus, had been
cut and has just been restored, and that
the line eastward from Santiago to Bue-
nos Ayres has been interrupted by heavy
SHOWS in the Andes mountains. AL
though Egan's cablegram officially indi-
Gates the success of what he as describes
as the revolution, he has not yet In
formed the department of state that
government has been set up that may
be recognized as a government of the
people representative of the country.
Accordingly the department will prob
ably await further detailed information
from the minister before according for
NAL recognition to the new government.

A Report Reaches New York That He
Was Killed in the Mountains.

Report Reaches New York That He
Was Killed in the Mountains.
NEW YORK, Sept. "a report has
reached this city from Santiago that
Balmaceda, ex-dictator of Chill, has
been killed in the mountains while try
ing to effect his escape. According to
the story Balmaceda left Santiago on
Saturday night before the rioting COM
menced. He took his family with him,
and carried a great deal of personal
property, including a considerable sum
of money and some valuable jewels.
When he reached point few miles
outside of the city he and his family
abandoned the carriage in which they
had been travelling, and took special
train which was in waiting to convey
them to Los Andes, thirty-two miles
northeast of Santiago. Here Balmaceda
left his family and with a companion
started on Monday night to make his
way across the mountains his ultimate
purpose being to reach Buenos Ayres.
The weather was bitterly cold, and
the snow on the ground made travelling
difficult. Balmaceda rode O. mule, which
is the only animal that is of any use in
the mountain passes through which he
was making his way.
Tuesday morning the muleteers began
to grumble and wanted TO tuIn back, as
the weather was becoming so severe and
the snow so deep that they feared they
would lose their lives. Balmaceda,
knowing that almost certain death
awaited him if he returned, refused 10
turn back, and in fit of passion struck
one of the muleteers, who retaliated by
drawing pistol and shooting the ex-
president dead on the spot
His companions then killed Balmace-
das companion, and after rifing their
pockets made good their escape. Their
bodies, according TO the story sent here,
were found by party of mountaineers
and returned to Los Andes. No further
particulars could be obtained.

So Says Census Superintendent Porter.
Greater Part of tho Work Done.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. disappointment
ent Porter, Of the census bureau, who is
now giving his entire attention to revis-
ing final census reports, says that he ex-
poets to have the first 500 pages of the
compendium of the eleventh census
ready for the public printer on Sept. 10.
He has received the last card punched
containing population statistics, the
number of which is 62, ,622,250. For the
past six months large number of clerks,
working night and day, have
been engaged upon punching ma
chimes, which, corresponding with the
enumerators' sheets, give all the infor-
nation required by law. Each card
will average seventeen holes, being the
number Of questions answered by each
person. The number Of holes punched
far exceed 1850, 900.
Mr.. Porter says that since Feb.
%, 1891, the clerks have punched 700
cards per day, which is 200 more than
the estimates furnished by him
when this method of tabulation was
adopted. Both men and women were
engaged upon the machines, but the
latter, he says, showed greater adapta-
bility to the work The backbone of the
census work is broken, and the few
hundred clerks employed will be suf-
flcient to complete the work He ex-
poets to have several completed vol
umes ready for congress in December.

that the Rio Grande train robbers se-
cured $4,000 from the express car in
stead of $4,000, as reported heretofore.
