THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
The House Judiciary Committee Declines
TO Investigate.


WASHINGTON, February 5.-The House
Committee on the Judiciary to-day de-
clined TO adopt the report made by Mr..
Caswell, from the subcommittee, that an
investigation be held by the committee IN
cases of certain States of the Union whose
Constitutions contain provisions which
are practically a denial of the right OF
suffrage. Objection to the proposed IN
quiry was based on the ground that the
committee has not the means of ascertain
ing who were deprived of their right, to
vote. Mr.. Caswell said subsequently that
the purport OF the resolution was misun-
derstood; that it was intended 70 ascer-
tain whether the Constitution of the States
contained provisions concerning suffrage
in conflict with the fourteenth amendment
TO the Constitution, the material for which
the committee could easily acquire. He
will, therefore. call up the report again
tomorrow for reconsideration.

WASHINGTON, February 5.-The Republic

purpose was the arrangement of an order

the outcome was the selecting of the fol-
lowing measures to be considered as far as
practicable in the order named: The eight

Paddock pure-food bill, and the Con-
ger lard bill (Which was discussed

THE CHILEAN UPRISING
Due to the Violence of the Regulars-Ip.
surgents Retreat to the Mountains.

Due to the violence OF the tSeguibrs-ln.
surgents Retreat to the Mountains.
1ry Anglo-American cable TO the Dispatch.I
PARIS, February 5.-A dispatch to the
Gd,tlois from Buenos Ayres says that the
Chilean rising was due TO violence on the
part of the Chilean regulars. The rising
occurred at Castro. The battle between
the regulars and the insurgents lasted
three hours Seventeen of the former and
l3U of the latter were killed. Profitlng by
the revolt the hostile sections of the Chi
lean regulars attacked one another with
knives to settle an old quarrel and the
insurgents around the city joined
in the fighting, which lasted two
DAYS. The lyceum and hospital suffered
severely. The number of persons killed is
not known exactly, but is large. Ancud is
now quiet. The harbor is patrolled by the
volunteers. who are partisans of the Presi-
dent, assisted by two thousand sailors.
The revolt appears to be reduced 10 the
principal harbors. Beaten on all sides,
the insurgents intend to retreat to the
mountains and assume the defensive and
march towards Santiago, which is now de-
nuded of troops. Friends advise the Presi-
dent TO conyoke Congress, which would
settle the quarrel.

The POpulRce Alarmed-Many People
Desperately Wounded by Gendarmes.
tBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
BARCELONA. February 5.-The revolu-
tionary spirit smouldering throughout
Spain nearly burst into a flame in this city
to-day. There was peaceful demonstra-
ton, in which O parade and speeches were
the main features. going on in favor OF the
Republican leader, Don Nicholas SALINE
ron, Alfonso Zorilla's co-worker in the pro-
pagat:on of republican ideas, and naturally
the crowds which were attracted by the
procession became somewhat excited.
This attitude of the populace seems to
have alarmed the officer in charge of the
troop of mounted gendarmos who had
been detailed TO maintain order and, In
case of such an emergency arising, to sup
press any revolutionary proceedings.
HE LOST HIS HEAD.
In any case the officer seems to have
lost his head and TO have ordered the gen.
darmes to charge the crowd. They did so
at a gallop, firing pistols and carbines
right and left The result was several per-
sons were more OF less desperately wound
ed and number of bullets from the gen.
darmes' weapons fattened around the bal
cony and windows of the hotel from which
Dir. Salmeron was speaking. The action
OF the gendarmes deeply enraged the
people, but the crowd seems to have dis
persed with out any open act OF retalla-
ton.
1t is understood that the Government
will be asked to order an inquiry into the
conduct of the officer in charge OF the
eendarmes. Mr. Salmeron's friends claim
that the bullet-marks around the window
from which he was speaking show that the
gendarmes tried to shoot him.
