RARpsLEY TO TIE BAR.
1t is Not Believed that senteno wnI be
Passed To-day.

1t is Not Believed that senteno WIZ be
Passed To-day.
PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-Bardsley will
probably not be sentenced this afternoon
At least that is the intimation this fore
noon in official circles The court will
probably be asked to postpone action for
a time.
The explanation Is that Bardsley Is
wanted as a witness against Yard and
others. Under the law his testimony
cannot be used after sentence is imposed.
Consequently the authorities do not want
him disqualified just yet, not until the
cases of Yard and others whom they ex-
pect to capture in the drag net are dis
posed of,
Among lawyers the prevailing opinion
is that to permit the sentence to be i'm
posed without request for delay from the
district attorney would be to expose the
authorities to criticism for blocking the
prosecution of others, especially at this
time, when the disappearance of the
money is as much mystery as ever, and
when the investigation in progress is
likely to bring further disclosures of i'm
nOrtance

A REIGN OF TERROR
Startling Facts About the Rev
OlutiOn in Chill.
BALMACEDA CALLED A TYRANT,
Horrible Punishment Inflicted on Men
Who Sympathi2o With the Rebels,

TaolSs and Pins Drlygu Into a Mans rin-
gers-A soldier Pounds Poor Follows
Hands to a Jelly No Two Persons Can
stand and Converse ON tho Streets
Laborers Forced to.wear Tags.
New YoRK, June 23.-Many startling
facts in connection with the revolution
now raging in Chilli, which throw light
upon the ferocity and despotism of Bal
maceda, are now given to the public for
the first time.
The three gentlemen--two ofwhom are
prominent Chilians--from whom these
facts are obtained have just arrived in
New York They have witnessed tie
revolution from it's inception, and speak
from actual knowledge.
Bnimaceda Termed "The Tyrant."
The combined storiNs of the three men
show that Balmaceda is we'll termed
''The Tyront." In Santiago where his
headquarters are, no one dares TO utter a
word against him. He has caused 3
cross of red to be painted on all the
houses Of people whom he suspects are
not =, molly in sympathy with him, and
into these marked residences his police
and soldiers go at any hour of the day OF
night. They rans1ck the rooms on the
ground that they are looking for revolu-
tionisJs who are supposed to be hidden
there. The people in these houses are
forbidden to lock their doors.
No one is allowed to ride on horse back
through the streets after D O'Clock in the
afternoon; no three persons are allowed
to walk the streets in company at any
time of the day, and no two persons can
| stand and converse on the streets. 1t is
a veritable reign of terror for all who,
either through fear or interest, have
failed to cast their fortunes with Balma-
ceda.
The storekeepers and all who employ
laborers have to furnish each with a tag
showing that they are regularly employ
| ed by such a merchant at such place.
| If the laborer is caught on the street GO
| ing to or from his work without this tag
| he is gobbled up by the soldiers of Bal
maceda and impressed into his service
| This system exists in Valparaiso also.
TacIs Driven Into a Mans Hands.
One of the gentlemen referred to wat
walking along the street past a Jail yard
| He heard some terrible shrieks from
! some one on the other side of the wall.
He inquired of a soldier the cause and
WAS told that some of Balmaceda's sol.
diers were Furnishing a man who had re.
| fused to work for him by driving tacks
| and pins into his hands and fngers The
next day he saw horrible punishment
meted ont to n Chilian who had been
| heard to say that he was willing to work
his hands off for the revolutionists. The
poor fellows hands were placed on 6
block and his fingers pounded to a jelly
by big mailet in the hands of sold Ter
He was then told that he could go ant
work his hands any way he wanted t
and for any one.

Tho Kansas Senator Spoke at Mass
Meeting Last Night.
New YoRK, June Ex-senator Pfeffer
of Kansas spoke at meeting held at
Cooper Union last night under the au-
spices of the Citizens Alliance Associa-
tion. About 500 persons were present
The Senator was cordially received.
He said among other things that af-
fairs had come to such a state in this
country that whenever the men of Wall
street dictated policy of government,
that policy was adopted. Whenever
Wall street men needed money all they
had TO do was to ask their partners in
Washington for it.
He contrasted the treatment of these
men with that received by the farmers
and the workmen. He predicted that
the Alliance would conquer with their
vote, and that a change would surely
coma.

ITALIANS ATTACKED
American Laborers Drive Them
from a Camp.

The Fight Did Not Last Long and the
Foreigners Fled in Terror

Their Departure Followed by Scene OF
Pmago-sevoral of tho Rioters Arrestcd
The Italian Consul Ind gnant Over the
Attack on His Countrymen and Demands
an Immediate Omoial Investigation.
ST. LOUIS, juno 80 There is great in
dignation among the Italians over the
race riot which occurred between the la
borers employed by Contractor Workiey
at the chain of rocks where the new water
works are being constructed.
One Italian was dangerously stabbed,
over 20 of his fellow-countrymen driven
from the camp and their valuables and
money conhscated by the gang of Ameri-
can and other laborers making the at
tack.
The riot was prim arily caused by the
admittance into camp of a lot of Italian
laborers and the report that Contractor
Workley had gone Chicago for more Gre
ated feeling Of revolt against the en-
ploymeut Of Italian labor.
The laborers were paid off and con-
gregated in a saloon just outside the city
limits, where they remained gambling
and drinking bud whiskey until the en-
tire party were crazy drunk.
The Attack on the Italians.
About a. m. the party broke up and
started for their sleeping quarters On
the way over some one suggested that
they drive out the id Dagos." The
idea took like wild fire, and the drunken
crowd rushed into the tents of the for
eigners, armed with sticks, clubs, knives
and whatever else they could lay their
| hands on.
The Hght did not last long. The Ital-
fans were at too great a disadvantage,
and after brief resistance they fed in
terror, leaving behind all their belong
ings.
A Scene of Pillage.
They carried away Cataliz Francisco,
| one of their comrades, fatally wounded
| by stab in the breast The Italians
made their way to this city, where they
reported the matter to the police, and
| Francisco was taken to the City Hospi-
| tai, where his wounds were dressed A t
the camp their departure was followed
| by scene of pillage. Their valises
bundles and packages were broken open
and stolen.
Several Arrests Made.
A rigid investigation was Immediately
| begun by the police, and the following g
arrests were made: Edward Manley, J.
H. Jones, Michael Cahill, VIM. Blai r,
VIM. Brooks, Fred Leader and John Shil-
Ter. These men profess ignorance of the
attack on the Italians and say they were
