CHILI'S BLUFF.
The Junta Becoming Arrogant and Refuse to
Make Reparation.

SANTIAGO, Oct. 2S.-The Gillian gov
eminent has replied to Minister Egan's
demand for an explanation OF the
recent attack upon the American
sailors.
The reply is couched in very strong
language and it is understood that it
amounts to a refusal to accept the
responsibility for the affair. The state
department at Washington has been
notified, and Minister Egan, Com
mander Schley and Consul McGreery
are consulting together and it is
thought that decisive action will be
taken soon. The state departments
orders in reference to the matter are
very strong. The intendente OF Val
paraiso has refused to guarantee safety
for market boats coming to that city
early in the morning from the United
States war ship Baltimore or the
safety of the officers OF that vessel
coming ashore at night. There is a
practical boycott on the Baltimore.
No American sailors are allowed
ashore. Great excitement has been
caused here by the report that the
Gillian legation in Washington has
been attacked.

A pack of wolves have been doing
great damage to range stock on lower

Dan Slayton's pasture and devoured a
yearling colt.
Shufelt & Fletcher have cut about
5000 feet of lumber, mostly on orders,
and are now having more logs cut to

Senator John Sherman and Major
Mckinley during the cen campaign
in Ohio have both contended that
nothing but the difference of eleven
cents duty has prevented American
woods from falling to the same price as
foreign woods. Justice Bateman & Co.,
in a recent circular, says: at is the
cheapness of the foreign woods which
has prevented the advance in the price
of American wool, which has been
looked for as a consequence of the
greatly increased consumption of wool
in the United States, which has taken
place since the passage of the Mckinley
bill. The cheapness of the best foreign
wool also accounts for the increase of
the imports of raw wool, at a time
when the imports of manufactures of
wool have fallen of. The total value
of raw wool imported into the United
States in the eight months ending
August 81 1891, was S13, 7O4, 191 as
against S1O,414, 191 for the same eight
months Of 1890; an increase in the
imports of raw wool in two-thirds of
the present year of 100000, while
during the same period the decrease
in the importation of manufactures of
wool has been about S16,OO0,000. Each
dollars worth of goods represents at
least three pounds of unwashed wool.
Assuming that the goods which were
formerly imported are now made here,
of which there is no doubt, there were
manufactured in goods in America A.
100000 pounds more wool in the first
eight months of 1891 under the Nc
Kinley bill than during the same eight
months of the previous year, before the
Mckinley bill was passed. At that
rate the American clip would be made
quate, and increased importations of
foreign wool is unavoidable. This in
creased use Of wool il was expected
would advance the price in the United
States, but SO far the decline in the out
side markets of the world has been
great enough to keep down values here
TO the prices now current" That do
mestic woods have not fallen to q lower
figure is surprising when the condition
Of the foreign market is taken into
consideration.

RIOTING BRIcEvILLE MINERS.
Over Three Hundred convicts Released and
Turned Loose in the Mountains of
Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 3l.-The news which
reached this city last night and this
morning of the release by 1000 miners
OF the convicts working in mines at
Briceville and Coal Creek and the re-
ports of bloodshed were received with
interest here. The number OF conyicts
released at Briceville was 1853 and at
Coal Creek 143; total, 306. Gov.
Buchanan entered into t~elegraphic
communication with Attorney Gen
eral Hickle, now at Knoxville, but no
definite plan OF action was formulated.
The governor is very positive and de-
termined to bring the law-breakers to
justice and effectually put down such
lawlessness. The affair is the talk of
the state, and from all sections there
comes a demand that the miners who
participated in the affair shall be
caught and brought to justice if it
takes a mint OF money and an army.

SUICIDE BY AMMONIA.
The Terrible Agony Does Not Prevent Its
Use.

No poison brings death with more mad
dening agony than ammonia, but the fact
not seem to discourage the suicide.
The man H~arrowitz, who deliberately swal-
lowed a fatal dose of the drug in New York
recently, is only one of the many who nave
gone the ammonia route to death in spite
OF the excruciating pain. DIR. Blyth has
recorded thirty cases OF ammonia poison
ing in the small London district of which
he is health officer, Professor Mitchell
mentions twenty-five cases, and four have
occurred during the short time DIR. Jenkins
has been connected with the coroner's
office in New York.
Cases of slow poisoning from ammonia
are OF constant occurrence among men h
work in it's manufacture, or even in decom-
posing substances which give it off in con-
siderable quantities. Ammonia, slowly
and from day to day taken into the sys-
tenn, causes the complexion to lose it's
freshness, and the skin of men who get
heavily impregnated Wit it has a disagree
able blotched and discolored appearance.
Taken into the m from day 70 day
in even the small quantities used to adul-
terate food, such as baking powder, it not
only injuries the complexion but attacks
the lining OF the stomach, and is the source
OF much general i'll health.
The recent rapid increase in the use of
ammonia for various purposes, and the
consequent increase in it's manufacture,
have made it one of the most easily OBJ
tanned poisons, and although everybody is
familiar with it in some form, there is a
surprising amount OF ignorance of it's dan
gerous qualities. Its use as an adulterant
in any food preparation is simply a crime,
and as a crime should be punished.

At the recent annual meeting of the So

Evidently the old rebel spirit still ex-
lists. The Worlds Fair will glorify the

rebellion inaugurated to destroy the
Union. Emblems of that uprising

closet with other curio. Field had

The widespread industrial depres-
sion in European countries is being
evidenced by n series of lock-outs and
strikes against a reduction in wages.
A season of famine seriously affects
the purchasing power of the masses,
and It's effect reaches all branches of
commercial life. 1t is also claimed
that the fiscal policy of the United
States has restricted British exports
and intensified the degree of depres-
sion.-Democratic Exchange.
Yet the calamity shriekers in this
country would have American work
men reduced to the same condition.
We don't believe the result in Ohio
will indicate any such desire.

AN UNDERGROUND sPoOK.
Nightly scares the Miners in an Idaho
Property.

MULLAN, Idaho, Oct. 26.-lSpecial
to the Independent. Report has
reached here that the Granite mine on
Canyon creek, owned by S. S. Glidden,
is possessed of a spook. The miners
have been quitting work in this mine
for the last two weeks, but nothing
was thought of the ghost stories until
Friday night, when the entire night
shift quit work in the mine and de-
clared that it was haunted. 1t seems
that the spook will come up behind
the men at work in the different levels
and stops and asks them for a light
and will then ask them, with many
groans and unearthly cries, to ''take
the timbers and rocks off me-" Moth
ing in the shape OF the spook has been
seen, though the sounds and voices
are heard nearly every night. A num-
Der of men have been killed in this
mine and the superstitioas believe
that the ghosts OF these dead men have
returned to the mine to haunt the
workmen. Ii the truth were known
it is very probable that some ventrilo-
auist has obtained a Job in the Gran
ite mine and is practicing his art or
the miners, just for thefun ofthe thing.

The British press seem very prolific
with advice regarding the course the
United States should pursue in its
treatment of Chill. Thus far this
country has got along pretty well with
out the aid of England, and can prob
ably do so in the future. For a nation
that has eve known what it was to be
merciful to an inferior power its advice
seems sadly out of place in this in
stance. If England wants another
brush with the United States it should
form an alliance with Chill. This
would also prove that its sympathies
were genuine.
