A CHILEAN INCIDENT.

A New York Post Buenos Ayres
special says: The insurgents are en-
trenched strongly near Iquique. A
British West Indian steamship, sup
posed to be carrying insurgents,
when called on by Chilean warship
near Coronel, hoisted the British flag
and stopped. The vessel was then
boarded and searched. A quantity of
powder and dynamite was found,
which the Chleans were about to
seiza, when they were warned by the
Captain, who said the articles should
not be taken without fight. He was
let alone, and the steamship was al
lowed TO continue on her way.

To Stop Canadian Depredatlons.

It will be remembered that some
time ago there was considerable stir
over alleged stealing OF American tim.
ber along the tributaries Of the Rainy
river south of the international
boundary. The government sent up
two investigating expeditions along
the Big land Little Fork rivers to Rainy
lake and river. As result OF these ex.
petitions it has now been decided by
the interior department to establish
q permanent government post on
Rainy river, and two officers OF the
department are now there to select a
location, and put up the needle build
ings. The post will be located near
Fort Francis about $50 miles north.

An IOwaR0ad Wants to Come Into the
y Freight Association.

= The Indiana, Illinois e. Iowa road
has made application for membership
in the Western freight association.
Ordinarily this would not be regarded
as a circumstance worthy OF special
mention. since the institution is SIM
ply g. short line, but considering the
stir that was recently occasioned by
the alleged manipulation OF through
rates via this connecting line, a pecu-
liar significance is given to this event.
A few months ago some of the Chlca-
go lines began to protest that rates
were not being maintained by certain
of their competitors. The roads
chiefly affected by the order issued,
are the Burlington and the Achison,
Topeka & Sante Fe. Both re-.
fused to obey it. An appeal was
taken to the board of commission
ers of the Western traffic association
of which these companies are
members, and the question consider
ed at the meeting OF Aug. IL. 1t Is to
come up for final action at the next
meeting of the commissioners, Sept. q,
anu Cnere mas Deen no question up to
this time as to what the decision
would be. The question to be con.
sidered is what divisions shall be made
with roads not members of the West.
ern freight association, in case such
divisions are not within the jurisdic-
tlon OF the joint rate ecommlttee. For
this agitation, the Indiana, Illinois &
Iowa have taken steps to become a
member OF the association, and go
avoid the threatened punishment.
There is little doubt it has been advls
ed to do this by the Burlington and
the Atchison, and perhaps by the Chi
cago d Alton, those beng the three
roads interested. The question of
uniting the application W II be put by
Chairman Midgeley to a vote OF the
members.

A Daring Attempt to Wreck a Train.


A daring attempt was made to
wreck O. train on the Illinois Central
main line a few days ago. About sew
en- miles north of Holy Springs, Miss,
carpenters are repairing q bridge. AS
the northbound train came in sight
Of the bridge tile engineer noticed that
one rail seemed to be undulv elevated.
He quickly applied the air brakes and
reversed his engine. Luckily only the
front trucks OF the engine left the rails.
Word was at once sent along the road
and soon after a posse of men. with
M. L. Brewer, Holly Springs, at their
head, went in pursuit OF the perpetra.
tors OF the deed. The engineer motto
ed two negroes sneaking away through
the bushes. The posse heard of the
negroes being seen in the vicinity, and
all accurate description was secured
of both. After a chase OF several
hours Mr.. Brewer caught the two ne.
groes. They gave their names as Will
Frost and Will Mcdowell. They were
separated by the posse, and each said
enough to lmplicate the other. They
were then confronted and their captor
told each what the other had said.
They confessed to having done the
deed.

Warlike Activity.

A dispatch from Berlin says that
the arrival of the kaiser has been fol-
lowed by unusual activity in the war
Office and by instructions to strength
en- the garrison in Alsace Lorraine
and all along the frontier. The kaiser
is said. on semi official authority, to
be of opinion that France sin frame
OF mind that may lead at any time to
war; that the people of France have
been so stirred up by the evidence of
Russian sympathy and friendship
that they are likely at any moment
to insult Germany in a way that
would of necessity be followed by war.
The French sentlnels on the Alsace
frontier have of late become very ar.
rogant in their treatment of Germans
who cross the line and refuse some-
times even to look at passports, driv-
ing the Germans back at the point CT
the bayonet. A similar disposition
has been displayed recently among
French costoms officers, and all the
conduct of the French points to will
ingness to provoke crisis by the mall
treatment of Germans.
THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY MANEUvERs
at Chill have begun and last until Sept.
2. The German kaiser will be present
and the Austrian kaiser will entertain
Kaiser William and the kings of Sax
ony and Roumania at the chateau of
Baron Widman. The Hungarian in
fantry and artillery will maneuver
from Sept. ID to l6, and later there
will be cavalry maneuvers The Aus
trians keep a keen observation OF the.
military movements of Russia, which
now has vast force of infantry and
five divisions of rifles in addition to
numerous frontier guards, designed for
the invasion of eastern Galicia, and
to interfere with Austrian nloblllza-
ton in the event OF war. Austria is
not in financial condition to rival
the military preparations OF Russia,
out the army is to be increased as far
as the revenues will permit.

Near Wernerville, on this branch,
just after the engine of g. freight train
passed over q culvert in safety, the
culvert was washed away and the en-.

Reading & Columbia railroad between
Reading and Lancaster, was washed
away and no trains were running be.
tween those points for twenty.four
hours. The wires on the Reading &
Columbia division were down and
communication west and south of
Sinking Spring was cut off. A tempo
rary telegraph Office was opened at
the scene OF the wreck and a large force
OF employees were put to work clearing
away the wreckage and repairing the
damage. Passengers for Harrisburg
and the Western mills were sent
through via Auburn. There were sew
eral slight washouts between Reading
and Allentown, but the damage was
soon repaired. At Mohnsville, eight
dams, each half an acre in extent,
were washed away, and the hat fac
tories and mills will be unable to re-
sumo until the dam breasts have been
rebuilt. This will take at least
three weeks. The bridge and three

The New Union Depot at Omaha In
Trouble For Want of Funds Which
We're Diverted.
Other Railroad Matters... The Keystone
Muddle. ANarrOw Attempt to
Wreck q Train.

A telegram comes from Omaha dat
ed the 25th inst, which carries con-
sternation into the ranks of certain
railway officials. 1t says that the
financial straits of Gould's Union Pa
cific interests have been made further
manifest, and a big sensation in rail-
road circles is the result. A con-
ference was held in the private office Of
T. L. Kimball, third vice president of
the Union Pacific and president of the
Union depot company, and a commit
tee of the city council, appointed for
the purpose of finding out what could
be done toward getting work started
on the new depot. A surprise was in
store for the committee, when Mr..
Kimball informed the gentlemen that
the Union depot company had no
funds with which to complete the
work, even were there no other obsta-
clts in the way. This was explained
by a statement that bonds of the
Union depot company, issued last fail,
had been diverted to meet the running
expenses OF the Union Pacific and Bur-
lington roads, and were gone beyond
recall. There was no way to get it
back, and the only thing to do would
be for the two companies to 20 to
work and put up the amount used.
This would require time and might not
be successfully accomplished at all.
Mr.. Kimball spoke for himself and Mr..
Holdridge, OF the Burlington. Hesaid
they were both anxious to have the
depot completed, and would do every
thing in their power to have the work
done. One OF the conditions, the
prime one, which Mr.. Kimball said
would be necessary to meet before fur
ther work, would be the dismissal
OF the injunction suit now impend-
ing in court prohibiting the delivery
OF the depot company. The
councilmen present refused to
agree to any such condition until work
had been actually and earnestly COM
. menced on the depot structure, and
until assurances were given that there
will be no further delay in the com,
Pletion of the depot. Meantime Mr..
Kimball will endeavor to get the mat
ter before the railroad officials. Jay
Gould will leave his summer retreat
in Idaho in few days, and will be
met by Mr.. Kimball, and they will
come to Omaha for a conference with
the officials OF the Union depot and
the Burlington road Mr.. Kimball
hopes to have a dicision reached at
I this meeting that will result in a re-.
newal OF the work on the long prom.
ised and long delayed union depot.
