He Attempts to Rob His Mother-She
Escapes, He is Arrested and is Now in
Jail.
NEWTON, Mass, Dec. 10.-An afro
cious attempt at robbery was made in
this place Tuesday night, in which a
son, devoid of all flial respect and af-
fection, was the principal. Mrs.
Bridget Carney keeps small store in
River street, and at o'clock Tuesday
night, while alone in the place two men
entered, one of whom, in disguised
but brutal tone, demanded her money.
The men had their hats down over their
faces and the woman did not recognize
them at the first glance. She refused to
comply with the demand, whereupon
the spokesman threatened to kill her.
Suiting his action to his words, the ruff
fan sprang forward and forced the
woman to a lounge in the store, at the
same time calling upon his companion
to strap her. During the scuffie the
hat of the man who had grasped Mrs.
Carney fell to the ground, and the poor
woman, though half dead with
fright, was still more Mortified to
recognize in her chief assailant her own
son Joseph, who had been in New York
for some time, and who had returned
unknown to her. Mrs Carney said she
would give her son the money if he
would allow her to go in a back room
where it was kept to fetch it. He did
so, and she took the opportunity to es-
cape by back door, whence she went
in search of the police.
In the police court yesterday morn
ing Carney was held in $500 bail fol
trial, and Denue, his companion, in
$500.

CLAIMS AGAINST CHILL.
The Report of Foreign Minister Malta T.
the ChiIian Congress.

The Report of Foreign Minister Malta to
the Gillian Congress.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso
saws Foreign Minister Malta has made
a report to congress relative to the
claims made against Chilli by foreigners,
in which he says the government is not
bound in duty to administer strict
Justice. The Chilian ministry, how
ever, he adds, rejects all attempts
to formulate claims which at times
have been allowed in America,
owing to the circumstances un-
der which the government against
whom such claims were preferred, were
placed.toward those in whose favor they
were formulated. To countenancc the
present attempts would be to create ID
favor of foreigners privileges that are
allowed neither by state nor interna'
tional law. While there is no doubt he
concludes, that the claims of prominent
British merchants are in several cases
greatly exaggerated, still, in the end,
the Chilian government can not refuse
to pay large portion of the claims
made for the sacking and looting OF
Valparaiso, Vina Del Mar and Santiago,
as well as for damages as to the nation

NEW YORK, Dec "a special to the
World from Lake Wood, n. j., says it
is learned that Mrs. Cleveland has not,
as it was hoped, received real benefit
from her stay here. She is, in fact,

exclusively on milk and wine. When
she and her distinguished husband drive
out Mrs Cleveland is muffied in furs,

Caught at 1t Again.


Caught at 1t Again.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 10. via GALVESTON.
The statement recently sent to the
London Times by it's correspondent to
the effect that United States Minister
Eean had, during the recent corre-
spondence between the United States
and the government at Santiago,
sent several insulting notes to
Minister of Foreign Affairs Malta,
which had caused q proposition
to be presented to the Chilian
congress looking 10 the suppression OF
Chilian legation at Washington, which
proposition had only been defeated by
the government exerting its influence
to the utmost, is unqualifiedly false.
The matter has not even been discussed
by the government or by congress, and
all indications point to desire on the
part of congress to keep up the amicable
relations which have existed for so long
a time with the United States

TUESDAYS BOND ELECTION.
Nearly Everything Ready and Mayor Gour.
ley Is Confident. -

Nearly Everything Ready and Mayor Gour-
ley Is CONFIDENT. -,
Almost everything is ready for Tuesday s
bond election. Mayor Gourley has sent out
papers to 12O of the 40 election districts in
the city. The remaining so districts are
mostly those near the center of the city and
can be attended to easily tomorrow. Two
persons have entered objections against
their property being used as polling places,
claiming the 50 so rent does not compensate
for the trouble. They are both business
men who have to close their stores on that
account. But no serious trouble is antici-
pated from this source. Mayor Gourley is
is confident the bond issue will win.
''It must be apparent to all intelligent
voters" said he, ''that this is the best way
out of the present difficulty. For one do
not feel like having the tax on my property
raised 9 or 10 mills in 1898, and other prop
erty holders must certainly feel the same.
Those who rent houses are in similar posi-
tion. If the landlords tax on house is
increased $40 per year he will undoubtedly
raise the rent that much The principal OBJ
iectors to the plan are those whose property
has been benefited by street Improvements
and who hope to get out of paying what in
all equity they should"

The West End Railway Company Comes

Mayor Gourley yesterday signed the ordi-
nance granting right of way to the West
End Street Railway Company. Owing to
the opposition to the measure the Mayor
withheld his signature until yesterday, Civ
ing the obiectors a week In which to lay
their claims before him. But nobody came
In the meantime the Mayor went all over
the ground and gave the ordinance more
thought than he has any measure for some
months. He came to the conclusion it was
proper ordinance.
The Mayor had scarcely signed the bill
Yesterday afternoon when two of the OBJ
jectlng property owners on Steuben street
entered his Office. Their only objection to
granting the right of wav on Steuben street
was the fear that the West End company
simply wanted to shut out opposition and
would never operate line there.
II am satisfied" said the Mayor, ''that
the company intends to build and operate o
line on Steuben street. If not, it will lose
its right of way there. The street would be
of no avail to rival line. There is no way
for it to get over to the city except by
building bridge to Allegheny and coming
around that way. The West End company
must carry its patrons to the city for 5
cents. With rival line on Steuben street
transfer would be necessary, making the
cost of the trip 10 cents 1 see no reason
why the property owners should object to
the ordinance.
1t is understood that number of those
who opposed the measure are now in favor
of it.

Pittsburg was fortunate yesterday in not
having made its proposed issue of bonds.
The officials of the Vanderbilt system were
in town, and the fact that there was moth
ing lying around loose is the only accounta-
BILE reason for the fact Pittsburg remains in
tact at the old site. The distinguished party
consisted Of Chauncey NJ Depew, President
Third Vice President; Hamilton Nick.
Twombly, Charles F. Cox and President
John Newell, of the Lake Shore. They are
investigating the Vanderbilt system, and
came to Pittsburg as the guests OF the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie officials.
In the forenoon Chauncey Depew and
Cornelius Vanderbilt were taken to the Al !.
legheny Carnegie Library BY Congressman
Stone. Mr.. Depew was greatly interested
in the building and library. He was
shown through by Librarian Stevenson, and
asked great many questions relative to the
interest taken in the library by the citi-
zens. He seemed to think remarkable
progress had been made in the collection of
books, ana examined with great deal OF
interest the Phipps scientific neGaction.
Speaking Of the Presidential outlook, Mr..
Depew said he believed the nomination
would be rendered to Mr.. Blaine, and that
if he would not accept, Mr.. Harrison could
have it. He looks upon Flower as Presi-
dental possibility. When asked about

dent would have all he could manage with
