VALPARAISO, Nov. 4-The discovery of Q
plot to assassinate Colonel Canto created
great excitement here to-day. Canto led
the forces of the Junta which landed at
Quintero Bay and which, after q series
Of fights, captured Valparaiso and led
to the downfall of Balmaceda. Just how
the clew came into the hands of the author
tiles and the full details of the plot have
not yet been made public, but enough is
known to indicate that Canto had narrow
escape from death.
The steamer Itata arrived at Valparaiso
to-day, and her officers and crew were most
heartily received by the populace. Many

The sensational stories which have been
cabled to England and thence back to this
country rejecting upon the conduct Of the
United States Minister and our naval
officers are probably intended moro
for a sensation in Great Britain
than in Chile. An investigation Of the

English newspapers fall to find any cor
roboration for it, In regard to the allega-
tion that the American naval officers acted
as spies In the interest of Balmaceda it ap-
pears from what seems to be good and
impartial authority that the charge
is without foundation. Said a prom

IRISH FACTIONS.
Scenes Of Strife at Waterford at the Na-
tiOnal Federation Meeting.

DUBLIN, Nov. 4-Dispatches from Water
ford, where the convention of the National
Federation is being held, say that great ex-
element prevails there. The streets are
crowded with upr0arious mobs, ready for
any kind of disturbance. Timothy Healy,
who was horsewhipped yesterday by Nc
Dermott, the nephew of Parnell, Is one of
the speakers. lie said that he Will not be
deferred by violence from pursuing
the course he has mapped out for himself
and repeated his language in reference to
the widow of the Irish leader which he
used at Longford, Sunday. and which led
to the chastlsement at the hands of Nc
Dermott
Dillon on arriving at Waterford was re-
celyed with mingled cheers and hisses.
Three hundred police guarded the fedora
ton delegates on their way TO the conven-
ton. The police repelled repeated charges
by the mob. The Parnelllte sympa-
thizers tried to rush through the en-
trance of the City Hall. but were beaten
back In the conventions proceeding
Dillon confirmed O'Brien's BOul0gne revela-
tions, and added that the men now calling
him traitor telegraphed him while in New
York offering him the leadership in success
sion to Parnell. Harrington, Redmond and
other prominent Parnelites joined in the
request, which was made after lie declared
against the leadership of Parnen An
ship that they would be his loyal followers.
He had done nothing since that.
Dillon left the convention hall on the way
TO the railway station, guarded by police and
hundred priests. The mob followed and
kept up continuous attack until Dillon
obtained shelter in the station. A number
of skulls were cracked. Thirty delegates
while crossing the toll bridge were thrown
to the ground and trampled upon. Many
were badly hurt and bleeding prOfusely
when rescued by the police. Several thou
sand Parnellites held the approaches to the
convention hall, and everywhere struck
down their opponents. On the whole quay,
mile in length, there was a scene of saw
age fighting. Many persons were taken to
the hospital.
1t is estimated that 100 persons were seri-
ously and many others badly injured durin z

relatives from Healy's defamation.
REPLY OF THE PARNELLiTEs.
John Redmond and Timothy Harrington
have issued statement in reply to o. Brien' s
recent revelations in connection with the
BnulOgne negotiations. They characterize
o. O'Brien's statements as artful and dishonest
sentatiOns, a shameless breach of
confidence and a wanton outrage on the
relatives of the dead leader. They accuse
Dillon and @ 'Blien with suppressing vari-
Gus letters which passed between the Par
nelites and Messrs. Glads tone and Morley,
the Liberal leaders. They also alege that
O'Brien was not satisfied with the promises
of the Liberals, and in support of theiI
statement have challenged him to publish n
letter which they say he wrote to Morley
begging him to amend his assurances and
Morley's reply in which he refused to alter

AMMONIA AND SUICIDES.
One of the Most Certain Agents for Caus
ing Death by Slow Poisoning.

One OF the Most Certain Agents for Caus-
ing Death by Slow Poisoning.
New York sun.
OF the number OF those seeking suicide BY
swallowing some form OF poison, probably there
are few who have sought TO Kill themselves by
means Of ammonia. Nevertheless ammonia,
although 1t Is the active agent in most OF the
salts sold TO women for their gilt decorated and
perfumed scent-bottles, Is poisonous when taken
internally In concentrated form. To attest this
there have been recently In New York several
cases, the most recent being that OF Herman
II ar owitz, OF which Deputy Coroner Jenkins
said that death took place In a comparatively
short time after the ammonia was taken. In
another case. that OF n child, DIR. jenkins said
death resulted In five minutes after swallowing
the ammonia solution.
There are on record also cases OF slow poison
Ing from ammonia administered with intent 10
commit murder. Furthermore, the appearance
OF workmen In guano factories, where ammonia

TEN OF poisoning. 1hts Is dscOloraiiOn of the
skin OF the face, which assumes a blotched,
dirty appearance. First TO take on this appear
ance Is the skin Of the nose and forehead.
AntOpsies OF those who die from ammonia
poisoning reveal dark hue on the mucous mem.
brane lining the stomach and intestnes.
As an agent for causing death by slow poison
Ing ammonia Is one Of the most cert ain and diff
cult OF detection, owing to Ills volatile nature.
This quality has led physicians TO believe that
some OF the mysterious deaths that have taken
place IN the history OF modern and medl aval
crime are due to ammonia. 1t 10 known now
that months have elapsed between the first symp-
toms Of sickness ana the death OF person from
ammonia poisoning. On The other hand death
has resulted In four minutes from the time a
large draught Of ammonia has been swallowed.
1t las been iound In cases OF gradual absorption
OF ammonia Ia the human system that there Is q
general elimination Of healthy oxidation of the
blood and a consequent lowering OF the bodily
strength. In the Cases OF Immediate POISONING
death comes with frighiful agony, as IN the case
OF Harowitz. Blood gushed from his nose and
mouth.

PREPARING FOR TROUBLE.

Chileans Strengthening Their Defeuses
and Preparing Their Navy for Service.
LONDON, Nov. 4.-The latest advices
from Valparaiso state that there 10 no d.
minution of popular animosity against
Americans, and no real effort is being made
to bring any Chlleans to justice for the kill
ing OF American sailors.
While the American negotiations are
pending the Junta has ordered the Chilean
war vessels to be ready for service. and the
forts defending Valparaiso harbor are be-
ing strengthened. These steps are taken
very quietly. as with view TO avoid at
tracing attention.
The Baltimore maintains great vigilance.
Captain Schley is evidently on the lookout
for treacherous attack.
The opinion is expressed that should the
situation not culminate before the 18th inst,
the new President, probably Jorge Montt,
may bring matters to a settlement Montt
is believed to be the best disposed to
Americans of any Of the revolutionary
leaders.
The correspondent of the London Times
at Valparaiso is said to be writer who has
been noted in the past for his hostility to
the United States. The Times articles
continue the subject of unfavorable COM
ment in London, as calculated to stir up
trouble between the United States and
England.

not now proposed for trial. The committee
charges him with uttering dOctrinal teach

further added the charges were general and
OBSCURE, and irregular in form through
out. There was nothing in the speci-
ncations that can be tested by de-
fendant. He admitted the excerpts from his
address made on the occasion of his inaugu-
ration as Professor of Biblical Theology in
the Union Theological Seminary. The facts
reiled upon to sustain the charges are miss
Ing IN the Indictment. He said also the in
dlctment contained insinuatiOns wholly un-
warranted. He denied that he ever taught
doctrines conflicting with the Holy Scrip
lures as the only infallible rule of faith and
practice.
THE CHARGES DISMISSED.
During the discussion the resolution Of
DR.. Van Dyke was taken up. DR.. Van
Dyke made dignifed aud earnest plea in
support OF his proposition to dismiss the
case against DR.. Briggs. After an extended
discussion the resolution to dismiss was
read and vote was taken, resulting in 81

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The New York
Presbytery assembled this morning in the
Scotch Presbyterian Church for the purpose
of beginning the trial of Professor Charles
A. Briggs on the charge of heresy. based
upon language used by him in his inaug-
ural address in the Union Theological Sem
mary.
The Scotch Presbyterian Church is To-
Gated on Fourteenth street, near Sixth
avenue. 1t is an old-fashioned edifice Of
the conventional type, making small pre-
tensions to beauty, either wi thin or with
out. In the principal meeting-room the
tribunal assembled. The pews in the mid
die were reserved for the members of the
presbytery, and the public filed the re-
mainder of the church. When every seat
was occupied the doors were closed.
When a presbytery meets for judicial pro-
ceedings it is called a judicatory in the
language of the church. The regular mod
orator is the presiding officer. In this case,
the magislerial duty was discharged by the
Rev. DR.. J. c. Bliss of the Washington
Heights Presbyterian Church. He was
elected at the meeting of the presbytery
on October 9th. and was not opposed. His

licans carry 1t the Senate will stand, Re

The Republicans claim the election OF
Van Houten for Leutenant-G Governor.
1t is impossible to make II reliable esti-
mate on the State tickets. The returns re-
ceived do not give the vote on other State
officers, except in few cases. so II is i'm
possible TO estimate the result on the rest Of
the ticket
The Democratic State Committee claims
Boies by 5000 to 10, 000 the rest of the State
ticket by 1000. The Republicans are hope
full for the rest of the ticket except Camp
bell, Railroad Commissioner, who is prob
ably defeated by Dey D.).
Fifty counties complete in Iowa out of q
total of ninety-nine in the State give Boies

is Democratic gain over 1889 Of 1926. The
remaining counties in 1889 gave BOies pu-
rality of 156l.
The Leader, Democratic paper, says
The day was ours. Iowa rolls up an in
creased Democratic plurality for Boies for
Governor. The Democratic Moses of the
West still leads the people. The Iowa
farmers were with him. The Democrats
show gains all over the State.

FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
Both Republicans and Democrats Fin
Cause for Rejoicing in the Result.

Both Republicans and Democrats Find
Cause for Rejoicing in the Result.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The Republicans
generally rejoice over the result in Ohio,
claiming that it is a vindication of the new
tariff law, and they are disposed to regard
the reversals in the other States as the re-
suit Of local differences with the party. The
Democrats are rejoicing over the result in
New York. Massachusetts and Iowa, and
assert that IL shows steady and reliable
growth OF that party. Eastern Democrats
are particularly jubllant over the result,
believing that it will preserve the domina-
ton OF Eastern influence in the party; that
free coinage will cut no figure in the ma.
tional campaign; that the Farmers Alliance
will count for hut little in national affairs,
and that the tariff will be the national issue
and is so accepted by both parties.
So it is believed that this election has set
tie ID the line of battle for the national CAM
paign. 1t is generally believed also that the
election will have very decided influence
on the selection of Presidential candidates.
The prevailing opinion here is that the
Democratic cry from this time out will be
"Cleveland's tariff reform"
1t is believed that the defeat of the Demo-
crats in Ohio. with free coinage in their
platform and the great success of Flower in
New York, the active part Cleveland and
his friends took in the campaign will
strengthen the ex-President not only in
the South. who will feel the necessity of
yielding on the silver question and accept
ing him as the inevitable.
AS to the Republican situation, the cleo
ton of Mckinley is expected to introduce
another candidate and another element of
donbt as to the Presidential nomination
McKinley's friends and admirers are un-
d0ubtedly of the opinion that he will be a
very formidable candidate before the next
Republican National Convention. They
foresee that his tariff policy will be the
issue, and express the opinion that the nat
ural thing would be for him to be the can
didate.
Representative Mills said to-day that the
defeat of Governor Campbell was surprise
to him, as he had felt great confidence in
his election. the general result of the cleo
tying to the Democrats, notwithstanding the
disappointment in OHIO. The tariff, he said,
would be the issue in the Presidential cleo
tion, and if the Democrats nominated an
acceptable candidate they would be almost
sure Of success. He said he thought the
Democratic strength in New York had been
pretty we'll tested, and he believed that the
| party had great pr romises opened to them in
New England and in Iowa, Wisconsin and
| Illinois. With the right sort of a nominee
| and with tariff reform as the ISSUE he did
not think the Democrats had anything to
fear in 1882.
| Colonel w. r. Morrison said that the re-
suit showed that the Democratic party was
| growing; that 1t was making substantial
progress, which was very promising for the
future.
President Harrison to-day received the
following telegram from Chairman
Hahn Of the Ohio Republican Central Com
mlttee:
"The Republicans Of Ohio have won q
