IN Issue.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 20.-The appointed
time for the opening OF the mining
congress this morning was Y:3U O'Clock
but 1t was 1915 before Chairman
Searles called the meeting to order.
L. II. Brown, OF Aspen, was the first
called 10 the platform. He said America
should declare the parity OF the metals.
Why should the United States consult
with Great Britain? Why should they
ask Belgium what to do? The United
States could maintain any position she
might take on the silver question.
At this iuncturc Senator Stewart
arose and announced that he did not
own 4 share oil Comstock stock, thus re-.
futing an old allegation.
Hon. Martin Maginnis, OF Montana,

in Il scathing manner for bis cowardicc
in not advocating platform upon which
he WAS nominated.

clarcd that every man, woman and
child in Nevada were united in favor OF

An Onicer OF tho sun franclsco Tells of
What ho Saw
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.--An officer OF
tho San Francisco, speaking OF tho
scenes after tho battle OF Valparaiso,
said: "Tho bodies Of tho two dead gen.
erals were allowed to lio uncared for
where they fell for nearly week. Fl
naiiy after the rcvclry in Valparaiso
had partially subsided, tho bodies OF
tho two dead generals wcro picked up,
placed Oh u rude four wheeled carry.all
and dragged through tho streets OF VAL
paraiso, being spit upon and stoned by
tho infuriated mob. 1t was n torriblo
sight TO see two bodies stiff in death,
tho arm OF ono OF them stretched out
almost upright, being treated in such q
hideously nncivilized manner"
Another officer, in speaking OF the
attack on Nina Del Mar by the Con.
srcssionalist forces, stated that tho tor
pcdo gunboat Almirantc was lying close
in by Valparaiso directly ahead OF tho
San Francisco. Tho Lynch steamed
ahead rs close 10 the contending forces
as possible and opened fire on tho Con-
grcssionalists with her Hotchkiss rapid
fire machine guns. Sho. had not boon
firing very long when sho lowered her
FLAG TO half and steamed in around the
San Francisco and Baltimore back TO-
her original anchorage. We aftcrward
learned that the lIotchkiss gun had cx-
ploded, killing lieutenant and severely
wounding hall a dozen men. That was
the reason she retired IRON the fight.
Tho officers say that Chilean hatred
toward the American seamen was man
iicsted on the streets OF Valparaiso
whenever the men went ashore. The

attacked, for one OF tho San Francisco's
mon, a Young man named Monahan,
was stabbed in the bacl, and suffered
from the effects OF the wound forweeks.
Thcro was ono place near the dock
which the American seamen used as
rendezvous. When tho Chihpn fleet
came i'll thopropretor OF the !. .Juse was
afraid to allow the American sailors to
enter his place. One OF tho men did so,
however, and after some little trouble
he and his two companions, who re-
NAMED outside, had to leave, and in
the rush Monahan was stabbed in the
back.

Tho Situation in Brazil Said to be Border.

LONDON, Nov. o0.-Thc Exchange Tel
cgraph Company has further advices
from Rio do janeiro this afternoon. Ac-
cordins to these dispatches the condi-
ton OF affairs Throughout. Brazil is rap
idly growing more critical. Eyerywhere
discomfort and disailection with the
present regime are becoming more pro-
nounced.
Instead OF tranquility and acquies-
cence in Fonscca's assumption OF die
tatorial power there is vigorous OPPOSE
tion and increasing agitation. In gem
eral terms the political condition OF tho
country is described Us closely border
ing on anarchy.
Tho Exchange Telegraph Company's
despatch further declares that Fonseca's
death is probable at any moment.
Though it is known that Fonseca has
been i'll, this statement is not supposed
to refer to death by natural causes. 1t
is taken to mean that there is extreme
danger oil assassination, or OF a sudden
and powerful uprising OF the incensed
opposition which will overthrow the
present regime and make away with it's
head.

New YoRE, Nov. or. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade will say:
Much has happened OF late to deprcss
business and shake confidence, and yet
confidence is not shaken, and the vol
ume OF business is still close 10 the
greatest ever attained. Prices are set
Ting downward with enormous proGuc-
ton, but the TACT that such production
continues shows that tho low prices are
not rulnous and 10 disturbance is ap-
pretended this year. Industries are on
the whole well employed, and it is es-
pccially Noteworthy this week that
there is 4 better tone in tho branches
OF trade which have been most embar-
rasSed.
a distinctly better tone in woolcn
goods Is due 10 the appearance OF spot
demand, clothicrs having worked of
old stocks to 4 great extent. The de-
manu lor oyercoatnga and heavy goods
is stimulated by the cold Weather. Wool
sales continued Of good volume, though
western llceccs are rather weaker, The
most stubborn iron market ever known
gives surprise to many, for in spite OF
unprecedented production the prospect
OF some accumulation OF stocks does not
disturb strong makers, who reckon that
it may be well 10 lay in nand hold much
larger stocks than heretofore, SO that
sudden anJ violent fluctuations may
not he so readily produced. Large sales
OF trails attho West are reported, but
markets for other finished products are
not materially altered.
Oil has dccinel y cent, but suser il a
shade stronger, aud col!oe has risen
three.eighths on account OF Brazilian
troubles, which reHdof commerce with
that country ppenliarly uncertain.
The money markets OF the country
are well sunpliea far legitimate needs,
but some points report speculative
money tight" The business failures
occurring throughout the country dur.

compared with q total OF sol last week.
