General Satisfaction at the Out
come in Chill.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-The news from
sensation in London. When, over the
Offic al signature of ChiIian minister.
a dispatch came Thursday stating
that the insurgents had surrendered,
everybody accepted it as the end of
the war. The news was not welcome
in London, for the public sympathy is
strongly with the side of the Revol-
utionists, but it was not supposed pos
Sible that a false report of such plain
and clearcut character would be cabled
throughout the world and the truth of
the statement was not, therefore ques-
toned. Then came the denial
from Pedro Montt, chief Of
the revolutionary Junta, followed
this morning by the authorities news of
the defeat of Balmaceda'S force and
surrender of Valparaiso. Apart from
any political issue the result Is great
relief to British comm ercial interests,
which have been injured to the extent
of millions of pounds by the existing en-
barge on traffic. for although commerce
has not been prohibited it has been
greatly hampered.
1t is said that now there will be
speedy end OF the conflict and that COM
mercial affairs will resume their old
channels uninterrupted. The insur-
gents have received sympathy in Great
Britain. When the secret history of the
war is told it will be found that the
land and to some extent the naval op-
eratiOns of the Congressional party
have been conducted by English
Col. Holley is said to be either an Eng
lishman or an American. The British
press is unanimous against Balmaceda,
and nearly every day he has been de-
nOunced as dictator, despOt or usurper.
The British government, however. has
acted cautiously, and without commit
ting itself to either side. while at the
same time recognizing the Balmaceda
government.
France has been most outspoken in
hostility to the Chilian president, who
mortalIy offended the French in the
matter of DreifuS' claim, while it had
been apparent that the important COM
mercial interests of Germany in Chilli
London, therefore, and on the con-
tinent there is rejoicing over
the result. Aside from national
or financial prejudices there is
a feeling of satisfaction that
the contest has been settled, one way or
another. There was a rise in Gillian
securities and nitrate stocks to-day.
There is an uneasy feeling, however, on
the action of the British man-Of-war
Espiegle, in carrying treasure away
from Chill at the request of Balmaceda,
and the Globe advises the government
to admit the violation of neutrality,
and offer compensation to the new
Chilian government.
BERLIN, Aug. 29.-The fall of Bal
maceda is received with great satisfac-
ton. The position of the new Balma-
cedan war ship Presidente Pinto, which
is now at Kiel, is a matter of discussion
among naval officers owing to the diff
ferent circumstance which now attaches
to her. Her commander expects to re-
main at Kiel until he can obtain orders
from the constituted government at
Santiago de Chile.

OPPOSITE VIEWS.
TrumbuIl and Flint Talk of the
Victory.

New YORK, Aug. 29.-Richard L.
TrumbulI, who was the agent for the
Itata, and who is to appear for trial in
San Francisco in few weeks, is now in
this city. He received the news of the
downfall of Balmaeeda with much salts
faction. Il consider that this victory"
said MIR. Trumbull, sends the war. The
taking of Santiago, if it has not already
fallen, is only question of few hours.
| believe that Balmaceda will fly
the country at once. The taking
of Valparaiso is the key to the
whole situation. 1t is the bases of sup
plies, the source of revenue, and in two
days we shall be able to double our
army and march on Santiago. 1t will
now take US but a very short while to
re-establiSh the constitutional govern
ment, which we have always repre-
sented. That will leave no doubt in the
minds of foreigners that those they have
been pleased to call insurgents really
represented the constitutional govern
ment, and were fighting against an un-
scrupulous dictator"
"What are the victors likely to do at
the beginning?'
Il believe that everything will be re-
established on a constitutional basis,
and that the people will elect a new
congress. We will be very generous in
the treatment of everyone, even of
Balmaceda. But if you want my per-
sonal opinion of Balmaceda, l will say.
that if ever any man deserved to be
hanged or shot, it was this man who
brought on a bloody revolution in a
quiet country. The supreme court had
already decided that his acts were
illegal There was no outrage that he
had not committed, but we can be
magnanimous, and there will be no
reprisals."
The recent appointed Chilian consul
general at New York, Charles r. Flint,
has always been a warm supporter of
Balmaceda, and was last night unpre-
pared to believe that his chief had been
defeated. In an interview he said:
''TO me it hardly seemed possible, much
less probable, that President Balmaceda
has met with defeat, because he had
every advantage in his favor from the
beginning. His army was greatly SUI
perior in numbers to that of the in
surgents, and he also had a practically
impregnable position"
"Do you think that this battle will
end the rar?H

Foster Explains the Situation at
Present.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Julio Foster,
agent of the Congressionalist party, was
brimful of excitement aud eXultatiOn
when seen by a reporter, and was will
ing to talk freely.
What will the congressional govern
ment do with Balmaeeda, now that it
has defeated him?" he was asked.
LET him CO." replied Mr., Foster.
"Whatl You will not shoot or exc
cute him?''
The worst punishment that can be
given him will be to make him an out
cast, an exile, a wanderer on the face
of the earth, branded ike Cain. Balma-
ceda is an intensely proud man. He
believes he is better capable to conduct
a government than any one else. He
wanted to prove that and has failed.
We know all this. ana we know how 10
punish him. Banishment from Chill
will be living death for him. AS to
those with him-the leading men-they
will fly away for a time, but after a
while all will come back and be for
given. The CongressiOnalists are
not bloodthirsty. All we want is
the establishment of the old consti-
tutiOnal government-not revenge. l
am confident that there will not be a
single execution. It will be Just as it
was when the South rebelled against
the United States government. The
North conquered, but there was none of
the Southern leaders. not even the chief
one, shot or executed. You became a
band of brothers again; so shall we"
''Still. you think Balmaceda Will be
haniShed?'
Perhaps not by the government, but
most certainly by his own act. / know
the man, and know he cannot live in
Chill again"
DO you think he is, by the fall of
Valparaiso, utterly crusbed?'
''NOt utterly just at this time, because
he will retreat TO the capital, Santiago.
But we have him like a rat in a trap.
We Will march on Santiago, but will
probably not attack it. You see, the
Congressionalist own most of the prop
erty there, and they will not storm the
town. They will take It in the end,
peacefully, because Balmaceda cannot
hold it. The people will rise up and
overpOwer him. His money is all gone,
for we now have control of the whole
seacOast, and will have the customs re-
ceipts, which have been Balmaceda's
main source Of revenue. Without this
income he cannot carry on the war.
His paper money is now worth nothing.
Still. he may hold out two or three
weeks,

que to Valparaiso, call an election %

A USELESS ROYALTY.
Duke of EIecklenburg-S
Walking Corpse.


LONDON, Aug. 29.-One Of the most
serious problems in Germany, according
to Berlin dispatch, is the condition of
the Grand Duke OF Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. This prince. although but
forty years of age, is little more than
an animated corpse. His lower limbs
are paralyzed and the upper part Of his
body is also IN some degree affected.
He has often been thought to be dying,
but he lives on, enduring pain, and ut
terly useless as a ruler. He is the
proudest of German sOvereigns, claim
ing a descent that makes the HOhen-
Zollerns pavernues by comparison, and
calls himself Prince OF the Wends.
Being married to princess Of Russia,
he has always been more Russian than
German in his sympathies. 1t is now
seriously proposed to appoint regent
of the grand dukedom, but no one has
dared to suggest the matter to the grand
duke. The dukes brother, Paul Fred
erick, has been spoken of as regent, but
is said to be Objectionable to the cZar.
who, on the ground of relationship, is
taking great interest in the matter.
Much anxiety prevails in Mecklenburg,
and great interest is felt throughout
Germany, as both Mecklenburg-
SchWerin and Mecklenburg-StrelItz are
extremely particuiarist in their rela-
tions to the federal government.

FIRE AMONG THE WHEAT.
Faulk County, S. D., Visited by a
Conflagration.

FAULKToN, S. D., Aug. 29.-Worse
than the severest hail or the most blight
ing frost is the fire fiend, which swept
with his lighted torch over the north
western section of the county last night,
reducing scores of homes to ashes and
converting prosperous farms into
charred and blackened fields. The sight
is truly pitiable one.
All Of the northwestern part of Faulk
county was thus desolated by ire
twenty miles wide and in length ex-
tending from this city fifty mile north
west as far as the eye can reach. Ihe
sky is lit up to-day with burning nay
and grain stacks. and the wind IS blow
ing a gale, with the fire still swee ping
on, leaving ruin and black desolatlon
behind. Indeed, had not the people
fought 1t hard, this town would have
gone up in smoke. Sol Peck, a poor
farmer living near by here, lost every
thing in the shape of grain, and his
house is now smoking ashes. Henry
Hanselman is also in the same boat, aud
farmers farther distant are ruined by
the score.
A deputy sheriff has just come in
from the country and states that the
sight is a sad one. Men with their fam
lilies are walking about looking at what
a few hours ago were pretty farm
houses and farms filed with grain
stacks. For a space OF twenty miles not
a foot of grass for stock even is left,
and the damage to the county and peo-
pie is nameless. N. L. Lightner has
Just arrived from LoyaltOn, thirty
miles north of this city, and reports
that all the district south of that town
is burned, including a majority of the
hay and grain stacks. Reports from
Senaca, in this county, give the same
facts. The news so far is meager. In
many cases families have been stripped
of their all and are in bad shape, hav-
ing lost all their crops, which they had
lust finished harvesting.

possible get things running as they
ably will try TO enlist support from
some other country, but that will not
avail him. We are the people, and he
is an overthrown dictator. How he can
get out of Santiago, 1 can't see. He
can't get to the coast, for we have pos
session of the whole country. He is
coOped up. He can't get over the
mountains into the Argentine Republic,
because it is winter in Chill now, and
the snow will not be out of the passes
until November. Idon't know whether
this government will continue to reeog-
niZe Balmaceda or not. but l should
think our victory would entitle US to
recognition as belligerents, and give rs

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Aug. 29.-County
Judge A. c. Larson to-day announced
his decision in the famous Watson will
case. Mrs. Morton, the contestant,
claimed to have been married to the
late Alexander r. " atSon in July, 1915,
and lived with him as his wife until
shortly before his death in the fall Of
$780, When Watson died, he left his
property, amounting to about $4,000, to
his two children, minors. On the trial
Mrs. Morton sought to prove that she
was married by contract, though the
paper was lost, and also that the will
was made while Watson was of unsOund
mind, and that undue influence was eX-
ereised over him. The trial lasted three
weeks, and every point was bitterly
contested. The decision sets forth that
Alexander r. Watson, at the time of
making his will, was Of sound mind and
memory, and that he signed the will
with full understanding, and without
any undue influence being exercised
over him; that contestant was never
married to Watson, and mas no right TO
appear and contest the probate of said
Will. An appeal will be taken.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Lieut. Com
mander Todd, executive officer of the
United States steamer Charleston, whose
exciting chase and capture of the
famous Itata. of the Chilian lnsurgent
navy, created a sensation a few
weeks ago, arrived to-day at
the Auditorium from San Francisco.
The news of Balmaceda's defeat he
read with some incredulity. II know
the exact condition of AFFAIRS" he said.
II am inclined to wait longer before
fully believing that Balmaceda was
actually overthrown. l know that
his forces outnumber those OF
the Congressional party two to
one. Then, too, the talk of the wonder
ful strength of the latter's navy is nom
sense. We could have demolished the
whole outfit in fifteen minutes. At the
same time know that there is not a
man in Chill who could not be bought,
and no change in the relative strength
of the armies need cause surprise"

The Holy Goats.

BERLIN, Aug. ga short truce has

of the holy coat at TreYes and those who
uphold the holy coat of Argenteuil in

the holy coat of Argentueil is the small
coat worn by Christ as a child; while,
according to the Treves documents. the
coat in the latter city was worn by the
Savior at the crucifxion. Hence the
congregation of rites has decided that
the two coats belong to different periods
aud that both are genuine.
