which felled him 10 the ground
knocking him senseless. The bear rushed
upon Boswell, caught one of his legs in

treated few steps. Boswell was nearly
frantic with pain, but tried to restore
Schetielin, when he saw the bear return

Boswell made desperate attempt to dis
lodge the shell, and when the
bear was within ten feet of him he
got the she'll loose and put bullet

THE JUNTA STILL INSISTS.
That It May Search Egan's House-The
Sam Francisco's Return.


SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 5.--The Chilean
government has SO far evinced no intention
OF abandoning its position that il has a
perfect right to arrest persons as they
enter or leave the precincts of the Ameri-
can legation. But while strenuously in
slsting upon the possession of this abstract
right, the government is at present max
ing no attempt TO put it in practice. The
partisans of Balmaceda who tookyefuge
under Minister Egan's roof are
still there, and no arrests have been
made during the past few days, and
it cannot be learned whether the govern
ment has in contemplation any plan for
asserting in the near future the right of
arrest that is claimed, but it is thought the
present unsatisfactory situation cannot be
long continued.
In accordance with instructions re-
ceiyed from the state department at Wash
ington City. Minister Egan has given the
Junta to understand. by formal and off,
cial notice. that if the Chilean authori-
ties continue to maintain their pres
ent attitude, the friendly relations
between Chile and the United States will
be interrupted. The Junta's reply to this
notice is awaited with great interest.
What Minister Egan's next step will be
In case the reply is unfavorable is
not known. The United States flag
ship, San Francisco, which
is returning from the north
is expected to reach Valparaiso some time
this week. When she gets into port the
present plan of the American minister is
to ask the Chilean government to allow
the refugees now at the United States
legation to go on board the United States
man-of-war Baltimore and take their de-
parture from Chilean territory.
VALPARAISO, Oct. As election day
draws near rumors about candidates for
the office OF president are increasing
In number. Among those prominently
mentioned for the office of president are
Senior Irarazavel. 1t is understood, how
over, that majority of the leaders
are in favor of rendering the
honor to Admiral George NJ.
Montt. who, with Waldo Silva and Ra-
mon Barros Luco, form the now widely
celebrated Junta de Gobierno. In fact it
is reported that he has already been urged
to allow his name to be used as a candi-
date. No one could be selected who could
satisfy all the factions as Admiral Mont
would.
Word has reached here of the arrival of
the flagship San Francisco at Payta,
Peru, of her orders from the Ameri-
can government to return to VAL
paraiso, and of her putting into
Callao on her return to this city. The
news has not been received pleasantly
here. The Chileans regard her return
with undisguised disfavor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.-There was some

On Saturday last Henry Jeransen, who
was formerly employed by Strellinger as q
gardener, identified the pistol found near
the scene of the murder as one belonging
to Strellinger. Today Jarensen voluntarily
took the stand and said his testimony
given Saturday was false, and that he
testified then. through fear of the police,
to what they had told him to say. He
said today that he had never seen the
pistol in Strellinger's possession. The
nippers found on Strelhnger's wrist were
identified as those belonging to Officer

LAST WEEK OF THE EXPO.
ONLY SEVEN MORE DAYS OF THE
SHOW AT THE POINT.

Beauties of the Art Exhibition Soon TO Be
Lost to View-Another Popular Day
Classical Programme Yesterday-The
Excursion Business.
One week from to-day the Exposition
will close its doors to the public for the
season of 1891. There are therefore only
six days more in which the people of Pitts
burg and elsewhere can view the many in
teresting features of the two big halls at the
Point. 1t is to be feared that many visitors
to the Exposition have not seen many things
that would delight them, simply because
they would not take the trouble to explore.
The management has better art display
than has ever been thrown open to the pub
lie in this city. The paintings are speci-
mems of the hest work of the artists of Pitts
burg and other cities, and the other works
of art are such as please the connoisseur, as
well as those who admire pretty objects for
their own sake, without knowing much
about them from technical point of view.
Yesterday was classical day." and the
programme rendered by the orchestra was q
carefully selected one, taking in the works
of most of the famous masters There were
popular airs interspersed, so that all tastes
were satisfied. This will be popular day.
1t is the last save the closing day of the Ex-
position, next SATURDAY.. There will be
several excursions into the city to-day, and
it is safe to say that the popular Battle of
Gettysburg" will be given before one OF the
largest audiences of the season.
