A STROKE OF POLICY.
The Insurgents Could Well Afford to Sur
render the Itatn.

render the Itatn.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Paris dis
patch, stating that the Itata is to be peace
fully surrendered to the United States by
the insurgents upon her arrival in Chill,
was shown to the officials OF the navy and
state departments today, but one and all
declined to discuss the matter publicly.
Nevertheless it can be stated positively
that there have been no negotiations as
reported between insurgent agents in
France or elsewhere and this government
respecting the Itata. There is reason to
believe that this government expects that
the Itata will be peaceably surrendered to
TO the United States by the insurgents
when she reaches Chilli. but that when she
is so surrendered the vessel will
be found 10 have discharged her arms and
munitions of war. 1t is surmised that il
the Itata did not place her arms aboard
the Esmeralda, the latter probably ar
ranged rendezvous for her and one of
the insurgents ships now at Iquique so
rs to admit of the transfer at some speci-
fed point at sea. Besides the arms. the
ltata has aboard large quantity of flour,
which is very valuable now in Chill, but
as this is not contraband OF war there
would probably be little difficulty in Sc
curing its delivery to the insurgents. The
surrender of the Itata might prove to be a
stroke of good policy to the insurgents,
particularly after they have secured her
stores.
The object of libeling the ship in Cali
fornia was to determine whether she had
violated the neutrality lave. If she stands
trial on that charge the status of the in
surgents must be judicially determined as
preliminary. If it is held that they are
belligerents, according to the precise de-
finition of international law, tue insur-
gents will have realized substantial adj
vantage, and al that they risk is the loss
by forfeiture OF an empty vessel. Nothing
has been heard at the department yet of
the Charleston. She is due at Panama to-
day, but it may be that she has proceeded
straight on to Payta, Peru.

1T WILL BE SURRENDERED.
THEITATA TO BE QUIETLY GIVEN UP.
She Isn't Worth Much and Her Surrender
By the Insurgents Would Be Great
Stroke OF Policy-An Account
of Her Trip.

PARIS, May 2l.-The CHILEAN agents in
this city. who represent the congressional
or insurgent party, declared today that an
arrangement has been made between the
congressional party and the L. S. authori-
ties by which the insurgents steamer
Itata, which is now being chased down
the west coast OF America by the q. s.
war ship Charleston, will not be seized by
force by the Charleston or by any other
vessel OF the American navy. BY the
terms of this arrangement the agents here
state the fugitive craft will be handed over
by the CHILEAN insurgents to the U. s
authorities pending a settlement OF the
question in dispute as TO whether or not
the Itata has violated the neutrality laws.
This action, it is added, will be taken
without prejudice to the congressional
party, in so much as the Itata has enough
start of the Charleston to enable her to
reach port in the possession of the con-
gressional party, and TO unload there be-
fore she is surrendered to the United
States.

A MEMPHIS SENSATION.
The Hill shoe Company Fails and the
Pr sid emit Kills Himself.


MEMPHIS, May PA heavy failure
coming close in the wake of the assign
ment of the Davis shoe company at Lynn,
Mass, followed by the suicide OF promi-
nent business man late yesterday after
noon, shocked this city IRON end TO end.
The firm which today closed its doors is
the Hill shoe company, doing business at
359 Main-st., one of the Oldest and best
known Wholesale houses of Memphis, and
the man who was unable to hold up his
head under the crash was William Villas
Hill, the president OF the company. The
failure OF the firm was directly due to the
failure of the Lynn Davis shoe company.
The Hill shoe company hos been floating
large quantities OF paper for the Davis CON-
pany. the amout being it is said, between
5 10000 and S400.00O.
President Hill received telegram from
the Lynn house about o'clock yesterday,
advising to assign to protect himself. He
gave orders soon after that this De done,
and without word, left the store. He
went direct to bis home on P0ntotoc-st.,
reaching there about o'clock. Climbing
over the rear fence, he entered the house
by the back door and went direct to his
room. Here he undressed, an d taking a
Winchester rifle from its position over
the fireplace, went TO the bathroom.
Placing the butt end OF the gun on the
floor, he leaned over the gun, bringing
the muzzle few inches below his heart.
and pulled the trigger. The bullet passed
through his body near the spinal column
and lodged in the top of the bathroom
door. No member of Mr.. Hills family
was at home and the servants did not hear
the shot. The body was found, when
cold, by member of the family who had
returned home for dinner.
The tragedy created great excitement
throughout the city and the failure was
not known down town until Mr.. Hills
death was given out last night. He was
thirty-two years old, prominent i'll social
circles and q nephew OF eX-Posmaster-
General Villas. The failure is one of the
worst that ever happened in Memphis,
the liabilities being about 100000 and
the assets 100000. The creditors are
principal Y eastern parties.
The liabilities OF the Hill shoe company
which failed yesterday are now given as
/ SO, 600 instead OF 100000, the figure ut
which they were placed last night. The
schedule, which was unsatisfactory, foots
/ up S59i,0G0.

THE ITATA'S TRIP.
One of Her Crew Tells the Story of Her
Northern VISIT.

Northern VISIT.
San Francisco, May 21.-John L. Wal
terson, an American employed on the
CHILEAN steamer Itata, has arrived here
and gives q detailed statement of the
steamers trip up the coast. The Itata was
accompanied from Iquique by the Es-
meralda. After leaving africa On April
Sth, the crew was informed that San
Diego was to be the next port of call.
Three days were spent at Galapagoi Is
lands by the crew of the Itata in transfer
ring coal in small boats from that vessel
to the Esmeralda and at Cape San Lucas
another transfer of coal occupying three
days was made. The Itata at the time of
leaving Iquiqni had her lockers full Of
coal. He confirms the report that at
Cape Lucas, the captain of the Esmeralda
took command of the Itata, the captain of
the latter, Dane, assuming command OF
the Esmeralda. WalterSon states that
from Iquique to about half way 10 San
Lucas, the Itata made forty-eight revolu-
tons per minute with sixty pounds OF
steam. This was equal to nine and half
knots per hour. During the remainder
OF the run she made forty-four revolutions
with seventy pounds of steam and after
leaving Cape San Lucas made fifty-iour
revolutions with seventy pounds OF steam,
equal to about ten and half knots per
hour, which, he was told, was equalto the
best speed she had made on her trial tip.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In view of GER

the real condition OF Secretary Blaine a
reporter today called upon Secretary Tracy
and asked "As you have necessarily had
much intercourse with Mr.. Blaine recently,

The RESOLUTIONS.
Sub-Trensury, Free Coinage, Revenue Tariff
and Government Control of Railways.

Sub-Trensury, Free Coinage, Revenue Tariff
and Government Control of Railways.
1t was no accident that the new party
enthusiastically scored heavily in the
adoption of the report of the committee
on rules. The Massachusetts, delegation,
which controlled the rules committee,
fearing that the platform committees re-
port would be adverse to immediate action
for third party, conceived the idea of
providing in the rules committees report
for national committee. and Delegate
Brown of the Bay state, in explaining the
rules to the convention, gave warning
that the adoption OF the report meant the
birth of new party, his idea being that
there could be no executive committee
without third party. The report was,
nevertheless, adopted and the result is
that, while the committee on resolutions
was Juggling away, some OF it's members
being the brainiest opponents of the third
partyism at this time, their action,
should it be adverse, was practically fore
stalled by the adoption of the report of
the committee on rules.
When the convention reassembled let
ter from L. l.. Polk was read advising this
conference to issue An address and defer
action on third party until 1892. This
caused q breeze and when q motion to
refer it to the committee on resolutions
was declared carried there was loud de-
mand--notably from the Minnesota dele
gation-that the negative be put more
forcibly by the chair. The demand was
renewed and continued from time to time
during the reading of number OF mis-
cellaneous kilograms. Mr.. Fisher, OF Min
nesota, argued that Mr.. Folks letter was
ill-timed and claimed that it showed how
useless it would be to refer the third party
question to the meeting in 1892, at which
Polk and his followers will be leading
spirits.
Ignatius Donnelly, chairman OF the
committee on resolutions, climbed upon
the rostrum at this juncture, and almost
his first words caused a whirlwind of ex-
element. The declaration from Donnelly
which set the convention wild was 10 the
effect that he was there to report that the
committee on platform was q unit for the
organization OF a third party. Donnely
evidently felt that his moment of triumph
had come in the struggle which he had
himself so deity begun just twenty-four
hours before, and for which he had been
so publicly castigated by Gen. Weaver.
Two alternatives were presented, he said.
either to ignore third party or to divide
the friends OF reform. He then gave way
to Robert Schilling of Wisconsin, secre-
