BELLIGERENT RIGHTS
The Gillian Insurgents Ask for
Recognition.
A NOTE TO EUROPEAN POWERS
Balmaceda Telegraphs His Reply to the Same
The Proposals for Amnesty are
Summarily Rejected.

LONDON, June ia lengthy circular
note addressed to the European powers by
the Gillian provisional government repre-
senting the insurgent party of Chill, is
published in England and the continent to
day In the note the powers are appealed
to by the insurgents TO be recognized as
belligerents.
The Junta's note, which is signed by the
congressional party's agents, seniors Matte
and Ross, speaks Of recent lawless acts
upon the part OF ''the DICTATOR" (Balma-
ceds) and claims for the provisional gov
eminent belligerent's rights on the ground
that its organization is sufficiently regular
and responsible to Chilians and to foreign
ers, and is able to make itself respected by
force of arms. The note maintains that
the Junta has been invested with regular
constitutional authority by the congress
elected March, 1888. The note continues by
stating the congressional party has undts-
puted jurisdiction over four OF the richest
provinces Of Chilli, comprising, it is added,
over half the populated territory of the re-
pubic. The congressional party also claims
1t is growing in military power and its
naval supremacy is indisputable, enabling
IT TO maintain sovereignty over its territory
and TO threaten the provinces still under
1.-The DICTATOR (Balmaceda). In view OF
these facts, the provisional government
says it is called upon TO maintain interna-
tional commercial and other relations and
therefore claims it is entitled better than
the Balmaceda government to be consid-
cred perfectinternational body. The note
adds that the probabilities of the future
rest with the congressional party, which
from the hrSt has represented law and
right and now also represents force.n

Treasurer Bsrdsley with embezzlement as
q public officer and said, as Bardsley had
already pleaded guilty on seventeen bills
involving a maximum punishment of fifty
or sixty years, it would be useless to take
up this indictment. The jury returned a
verdict Of not guilty on that count.
The announcement of Bank Examiner
Drew's suspension was not surprise to
the authorities here. There was not. it is
said, any particular knowledge affecting
Drew's integrity but there was a dispute
between Drew and Comptroller Lacey
respecting the examiners reports before
the Keystone bank closed. On being
shown the dispatch from Washington, Mr.
Drew said some days ago the comptroller
wrote him desiring a conference ON the
situation and suggesting the propriety of
his not resuming work until such confer
ence was had, and Saturday he received
telegram from the comptroller stating he
would nix an early time for the conference.
He presumes this is the foundation for the
reported suspension. He is confident the
investigation will result in Eis complete
vindication.

Armour on the New Stockyards.

CARLSBAD, June lip. ID. Armour, of
Chicago, who is here with his invalid wife.
said to-day, he had just received long dis
patch from Chicago, stating ground had
been broken at Tolleston, Ind, for the new
stock yards. He said they proposed TO
establish packing houses there. They will
not be so cramped for room as at the old
yards, which, he says, are altogether out
of place in such close proximity to the best
part of Chicago. They propose to issue
SIC, 200. 900 of stock, which they will divide
among the packers and dealers who follow
them. An Associated Press correspondent
asked if other packers will follow and
desert the old yards. They cannot help
themselves" said MIR. Armour "We
three, Armour, Morris and Swift, practi-
cally control the business, the others must
follow. Besides. it is to their own advant-
age as the old yards charge now so high
that it scarcely pays TO do busin ess there
We shall give Accommodations at more
moderate rates.
'You see the old yards which originally
cost about 100000 were sold several
months ago 10 an English syndicate for
S25 600, 00O The investors want to get in
terest on this immense sum, consequently
high charges are necessary"
'But what will become of these millions
when you and all the otner great houses
move away!" said the correspondent
81 am not worrying about English in
vestors," said MIR. Armour. 81 feel sorry
for them, but must look out for my own
interests and the interests of the COM
munity first"
MIR. Armour said there are also many
reasons why change should be made. In
the new quarters they will have the most
perfect arrangements for the proper ex-
animation and packing of pork, and he
thinks as soon as Germany is convinced of
proper examination, etc, it will allow the
importation of American pork

Thursday says: While Robert Ray Ham
ilton's friends and his late partner are

ting his estate, a witness turns up who is
willing to swear positively Mr. Hamilton is
not dead, unless he has died in the last two
weeks. This witness is Henry Strong.
formerly of Green, Chenango county, n. Y.
He declares two weeks ago day he met
Robert Ray Hamilton face to face in the
Yellowstone park region. He is certain it
was Mr.. Hamilton: he recognized him at
once by his face and voice. Mr.. Strong
came TO New York two days ago and said
nothing TO anybody about his meeting Mr.
Hamilton, or his double, until he read in
yesterdays papers of the arrival Of his
partner, Sargent, and his slightly confused
statement. He came TO the Herald Office
last night TO make statement, which is in

New Methods of Leasing Crow Lands.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE interior de-
partmert, acting upon the recommendation
OF the Indian office, has adopted new de-
parture in the management of grazing mat
tiers upon the Crow Indian reservation in
Montana The Crow Indians are author
lied by the act OF Congress of April H.,
1882, to permit cattle grazing on their res
ervation, but under previous arrangements
much friction between cattlemen resulted
from the indiscriminate pasturage of por-
tions of the reservation set apart for graz
ing, proving fruitful source OF trouble
and annoyance, not only TO the agency
management but to the department of in
dian affairs. To obviate these difficulties
in future, and to give the Indians the bene-
Mt OF the advantages resulting from COM
petition between cattlemeu for these graz
ing privileges, the total unoccupied portion
OF the reservation has been divided into tive
grazing districts. and proposals for grazing
the same were invited by advertisement.
The proposals received were opened at the
Crow agency. Permit agreements. cover
ing each of said districts, were executed by
Agent Wyman with the highest bidder for
each, said permits TO be in force for pc
Rod OF three years from July l, proximo.
These agreements are now before the de-
partment for approval.
II is believed the new arrangement will
rellve the department OF much annoyance
and trouble and be decidedly better for the
Indians and better for the cGttlemen. IL
brings the management Of the whole bust
ness under the direct control of the depart
ment, and by the terms of the agreement
executed with cattlemeE, cattle may be
removed from the reservation at any time
by the department for any violation of the
stipulations in the same. The improved
holdings and herds of the Indians are to be
at all times kept secure from interference
by stock company employees, and cattle
men, and grazing ranges occupied by cattle
belonging 10 the Indians are TO be kept IN
disturbed.
The pecuniary advantage 10 the Indians
also is considerable, as they receive about
s., 600 more under this new arrangement
than under the old system, Notwithstanding
the fact that title to an area of about /. $780,
600 acres upon the western portion Of the
reservation is relinquished to the govern
ment.

English PAPERS Criticise Wales.

LONDON, June 1.-THE outspoken news
paper comments upon the part the Prince
of Wales played in the baccarat scandal
continues to be the sensation of the day in
England and elsewhere. A newspaper re-
porter who was present near the Prince of
Wales at Ascot to- day at the races, tele-
graphed the prince was in a very sulky
frame of mind, caused, it would appear,
by the storm Of adverse newspaper criti-
cism which has swept and is still sweeping
over the heir apparent The religious
press, as might be expected is severe in
its COMBINATIONS. A weekly paper
representing all the Protestant de
nominations, says, for instance: 1.-THE
throne rests upon the foundation
of public opinion only. A few more
scandals like that at Tranby Croft would
destroy the foundation and Edward VIII.
would never be crowned"
The British Weekly remarks: "The rev.
Citations are enough TO sober up the strong
est supporters of monarchy"
The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says: 1.-The baccarat scandal caused SEN
sation in army circles on the continent,
especially in countries where the Prince of
Wales is honorary colonel of special regi-
merits"
The Globe this evening says both the
army and navy feel most keenly the stigma
which has been placed upon an honorable
profession by the agreement entered into
between field marshal and general to
maintain secrecy in regard to gambling and
by gambling with youngsters, one Of
them q subaltern".

BERLIN, June ll.-In the lower house OF

ton to the effect that the government should
submit TO the house the material upon
which Chancellor Won Caprivi based his

chancellor opposed the motion, declaring
inquiries had been in progress since April,

chancellor) was mo- In a position to men

Herr Rickert made a most sensational

found necessary TO recall the man who

Herr Riekert charged the government with
endeavoring to ''silence those who were de-
Tending the interests of the millions against
the minority" The same speaker also said
he discredited the government report about
the grain available. Stocks, he said, were
small and prices would advance. Potatoes
he continued, had already replaced bread
as the food Of the people and they (pota-
toes) were also placed at an exorDitant
