The London Times has endeavor,
ed to get an idea of the harvest
prospects everywhere. Its conclus-
ion is that there are good prospects
for both the English and American
farmer. In Russia there is a grave
deficit, with famine in some quar-
tiers. midas case is no better, so
that these grain producing countries
can do little more than feed them
selves. America will have a harvest
good in quality and amount with
which to feed the hungry of Europe,
and the prospects of the British
farmers are good, the crop being
bountiful, with reasonable certainty
that prices will rule high.

THE GILLIAN WAR.

There is at last some prospect of
a decisive battle between the oppos-
ing forces IN the chilian embroglio.
Recent kilograms describe move
ment made fly the Congressionahsts
which it seems must Inevitably bring
the hostilities to battle or to arbitra-
ment.
The movement of the insurgent
forces is a clever one, and has been
executed with that adroit dispatch
which is sine qua non to the sue
cessful accomplishment of all masked
movements. While the insurgents
were concentrating their forces in
and around the village of Huasco,
between forty and fifty miles distant
from Coquimbo, and were making it
appear that their intention was to
assault that northernmost seaport
and fortress of the Chilian govern
mep.t, that concentration of troops as
if TO attack Coquimbo was simply a
a blind, a pretense. But the ruse
took effect, for Balmaceda hurried
south several thousand of his
trustiest and best equipped men,
and before they can return it is the
intention of the insurgents, who have
landed ten thousand men in
Quientero bay near Valparaiso, to
attack Valparaiso both by land and
sea, They will have to fight or be
hemmed in the enemy's country. If
they succeed in taking Valparaiso
they will probably whip the
Balmacedists, for this is the enemys
strong foot hold.
The armies that will be opposed
to each other when the battle opens
are said to be of about the same
strength, and to be both exceeding
" we'll drilled and equipped; wheth-
er the invaders or the defenders will
have the advantage is to be decided,
therefore, in large measure by the
adventurous aid that each side will
command. That is to say, the re
suit will depend greatly upon the
support that the guns of the
forts and their lntrenched po-
sition will give to the Balmacedists,
and the assistance that the ships
batteries will give to the assaiIants.
However they are no longer waiting
as they have been for months for
something to turn up, but are pre-
pairing for sure enough war and
stirring news may be expected from
there any day.
Since the above was written the
expected engagement has taken
place, and the opposing forces are
clinched in a desperate struggle for
the mastery of the Republic of
Chill.
The battle ground is in full view
of VALPARAISO, and has been raging
for three days. The first engage
ment resulted in reverse to the gov
eminent, and six insurgent war
ships are anchored in Cosnon bay.
Less than 10000 troops were in the
battle and the casualties as report
ed is 5000 killed and wounded.
Balmaceda is in command of the
Government forces, 10000 strong,
while the Insurgents have been re-
duced to about 1000.
The conclusion of this battle will
decide the fate of the Republic. If
the Insurgents can capture Yalpa-
raise it will be easy sailing to the
capital Santiago, whereas on the 9th
er hand if Balmaceda drives them
back he will have to kill most of
them and it will end in a victory for
the administration.

WAR IN CHILL.

The VALPARAISO battle is still on.
Both armies when last heard from
were resting to bury their dead,
while the positions held are being
strengthened in preparation for the
final struggle. Time after time the
rebels dashed against BaImaceda's
lines, but were each time repulsed,
but they were not the only sufferers,
for their artillery played with telling
effect upon the enemy and their
rifles we're not useless in their hands,
and both sides were glad when
darkness came to stop the fight, on
the 18th and the next morning the
truce was continued. All business
is suspended there. Everybody who
could, left the city, while the
government cruiser Almirante
Lynch was assisting the artillery
men in the forests in keeping the
rebelions forces at long range the
breach plug of one of her IA pound
Hotchkiss guns blew out instantly
killing the lieutenant in charge.
The next engagement will come very
near deciding for time at least the
fate of Chill.

THE INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS OF THE
SOUTH.

The Manufacturers Record of
August % says: While midsummer
usually brings certain amount of
dullness everywhere, the signs of
the times all point to busy and
prosperous fall and winter. The
certainty of enormous grain crops
throughout the country and heavy
foreign demand gives assurance of
general business prosperity, which
will prove of great benefit to the
South. Abundant wheat and corn
crops will largely Offset the low
price of cotton, and the South will
be prepared to maintain its position
in the great industrial advance of
the whole country Many great
enterprises, including railroads to
open up mineral and timber regions
OF vast withdrawing possibilities,
iron mining and manufacturing con-
Germs, steel works, cotton mills, etc.
are being put into shape for active
construct bin work IN the near future.
Following the Record publishes a
long list of new industries and
closes by saying this list shows that,
Notwithstanding summer beat and
the troubles that have followed
financial stringency in this country
and abroad, the South is pushing
forward vigorously in establishing
new enterprises to create wealth
out of its abundant natural resour
ces.

RECIPROCITY is nothing more or
less than free trade. It is an aboli-
ton of the custom duties upon the
: products of a country which will
abolish the custom duties upon the
products of this country. What is
this but free trade? Blaine. the
most astute politician upon the Re.
publican side, saw, long before any
of his party, that there must be
some relief from the terrible imposi-
lions of his party's policy; and he
first opened this free trade road out
of the robber tariff Jungle in which
he foresaw that his party would
soon be lost. After taunting the
Democrats with being free traders
in disguise, the Republicans be-
come free traders without any dis
guise; at the same time claiming to
be the most rabid of protectionits |

BARNEY GIBBS says the Alliance
men are pushing the sub-treasury
scheme, but that they are not so
much welded to it that they would
refuse to accept any reasonable
compromise that promised financial
relief. A compromise is perhaps as
much as they ever expect.

One of the inconsistencies of the
Republican party is its position on
the race question. For the South
they favor negro rule and denounce
the Southern people for not letting
them monopolize the offices, while
in the North, where they could
practice what they preach, or take
the medicine they recommend to US,
they rarely give him a nomination
and never fail to beat him in the
elections. There are few negro Of
flee holders in the North.

long and exhaustive document and gives de-
tailed and circumstantial account OF the Comp

delphia as full and complete response to the

ance was asked, as one Of the defendants coun-
sci had to leave the city on the afternoon train
In point Of fact as the record shows the case was

torney for tho Commonwealth. You also put
this headline 20 your account OF that days pro-
ceedings I'm tho Hastings COurt-yiz.: Patteo's s

Any one might draw tho Inference from this

No evidence has been adduCed In court since the
