FURTHER FROM CHILE.

The Chilean news grows more and
more dramatic. 1t now appears that
when Balmaceda's troops entered Iqui-
que it was only due to the fact that the
Congressionalists had retired to ships in
the harbor, not dreaming of the enemy
being so near at hand. In clearing a
street TO enable troops to land, revolu-
ZIONIST gunboat destroyed unwillingly a
great deal of property. But the landing
was effected, and Balmaceda's men
driven out, but not until they had burned
the finest part of the city.
The news is that all the revolutionists
lack is arms and ammunition sufficient
to equip the volunteers who flock TO that
side. On the other hand, Balmaceda has
double the number of troops and more,
all well armed. But it is stated by relia-
BILE authority that fully two-thirds of his
men are conscripts, have been seized and
forced into the ranks, and that it is a COM
mon thing to see patches of recruits
brought in under guard in leg and hand
irons. One Intendente is said 10 have
written to the dictator that he could send
no larger number OF volunteers, sowing
to a scarcity of handouts"
Gentlemen recently returned from Bal
macedan dominated territory, relates acts
of cruelty on the part of the dictator that
make the blood run cold. For instance

employers have to tag their servants.
and those untagged are seized and driven
into the ranks. If they resist they are
beaten or bayoneted on the spot, then
drafted to work by Balmaceda's under
1lngs, are tortured by having tacks and
pins driven into them. In some cases,
| II the drafted man expresses sympathy
for the revolutionists, his fingers are
beaten to jelly on rocks with mallets,
and he is told to go and serve his friends.
On the house-doors of those he "sus-
pects'' of sympathy for the Congression-
alists, Balmaceda has red cross painted.
These people thus distinguished must
never lock their doors, must retire at 5
P. NJ, and are liable at any moment to
be compelled to feed and clothe soldiers.
'Sympathizers' are imprisoned by Bal
maceda on the slightest suspicion, or,
worse yet, are cruelty tortured.
On their part the revolutionists are
charged with no excesses, except that
after the burning of Iquiques best Sec
ton their soldiers ravaged the city and
committed outrages by firing upon nom
combatants and shooting those who at
tempted to extinguish the flames of their
burning houses. This, it must be re-
membered, is not infrequently the case
in revolutions. Officers lose control of
their men, who, infamed by victory and
liquor, commit excesses upon their own
party. A commission is now on its way
to the United States to ask for the recog-
milton of the revolutionists as belliger-
ents. If the plea is granted, the Con-
gressional party will have gained an ex-
ceedingly important point Since they
control more than one-half of Chilean
territory, have an army of 1900 men
and navy of seven ships of war, and
have maintained themselves in pitched
battles by land and sea, it would seem
that they are entitled to the recognition
they ask.

GETTING AT THE FACTS.

We shall now probably get at the exact
truth concerning the menace to the Behr-
ing Sea seal fisheries. Professor Henry
W. Elliotts report set forth that unless
there was absolute cessation of seal tax
ing for from five to seven years, the catch
would close in two years. Indeed, hede-
clared that single year more Of seal TAX
ing would imperil the industry. Pro-
mers in the sea. He diligently gathered
the evidence of Aleuts, Russians and
Americans. In short, he made thor
ough study of the natural history of the
seal, and of the conditions of the Behring
Sea fisheries.
The Canadian, and to some extent the
American poachers, have denied the cor
rectness of Professor Elliott's conclu-
sions, and the former have gone so far as
to pronounce them absurd. They declare
that there has been no diminution of the
seals, and that it would be quite impos-
sible to exterminate them. Professor
| Elliott, however, is fortified by the fact
that the catch last year fell off more than
so per cent, compared with the take of
! five years ago.
The English Government has now
named Sir George Baden-Powell and w.
Dawson as agents to visit Behring Sea
and ascertain the facts They will cruise
in the sea all this summer in an English
ship-ofwar, stopping at any point they
may desire. Two American commission
ers will soon be named to make a similar
examination. The belief is that Pro-
| fessor Elliott will be named as one of the
| American commissioners. They will
cruise in the sea, and toward the close of
the inquiry it is likely that the two COM
missions will meet and compare notes
prior to the official arbitration in October.
We may thus expect within the next six
months to have the issue between the
poachers and Professor Elliott settled on
a line of facts that viii not be open to any
dispute.
The British commissioners are named
as arbiters in the arbitration agreed to be-
! tween the two Governments, and while
/ the United States may name a distinct
commission of inquiry, it is probable
that the arbiters VIII themselves be the

THE CHRONICLES" IRRIGATION
PAPER.

We print in another column a letter
from G. P. Huntington, discussing the
validity Of the district bonds issued by ir-
rigation districts in this State under the
Wright law. This article originally ap-
peared in the irrigation edition of the San
Francisco Chronicle, publication which
has, perhaps, conferred more signal ben
eft on the State of California than any
other single issue of any other paper pub
lished in the State. We reproduce the
article from Mr.. Huntington as really
presenting an epitome of all the Chronicle
contains-that is to say, it discusses in a
clear, business-like and forcible way the
history, both legislative and judicial, of
the bonds offered on the market.
The intelligent, well-directed enter
prise Of the Chronicle should be COM
mended by the people of California. The
progressive sections of the State where ir-
rigation under the Wright law had been
projected were languishing for want of a
clear, exhaustive and thorough explana-
ton Of the irrigation system as outlined
by the Wright, law and the nature
and character Of the securities Of
fered by irrigation districts. This was
supplied by the splendid issue of the
Chronicle in a manner so effective as to
furnish the means of the complete educa-
ton of the public mind.
This estimate of the value of the Cltr0Ya-
tcJe's enterprise is made upon realized re-
the issue of the paper under considera-
ton, and the benefit to the State is al
ready apparent.
