No Doubt but That the Matter Will BE
Amicably settled.
The lynching at New Orleans in March last Of
eleven men OF italian nativity by mob OF cit
liens was most dcplorable and discredi table
incident. 1t did not. however, have its origin
in any general animosity to the Italian people
nor in any diSrespeCt to the government of
italy with which our relations Of the
most friendly character The fury OF the mob
was directed against these men as the supposed
participants or accessories i'll the murder of a
city official.
do not allude to this as mitigatngssin1any
degree this OffeuSe against law and humanity
but only us affecting the international questions
which grew out of it. 1t once represented
by the Italian minister that several of those
whose lives had been taken by the mob were
italian subjects, and demand made tor
the punishment OF the participants and for an
indemnity to the families OF those who
were killed. 1t is to be regretted that
the manner in which these claims
we're presented was not such as to promote n
calm discussion Of the questions involved, but
this may well be attributed to the excitement
and indignation which the crime naturally
evoked. The views Of this government as to its
obligations to foreigners dOmiCiled here were
fully stated in the correspondence, as well as its
with the view to determine whether there were
present any circumstances that could, under
such rules of duty as we had indicated, create an
Obligation upon the United States. The tenn
porary absence of q minister plenipotentiary OF
italy at this capitol has hindered the further
correspondence, but it is not doubted that a
friendly conclusion is attainable

VALPARAISO, Sept. S.-Rumors continue
to spread concerning the whereabouts of
the fugitive president of Chile-Balmaceda.
1t is now reported that he has taken refuge

else has concealed himself in monastery.
If he has been fortunate enough to gain
admission to legation, he will IN all
| likelihood be protected from the wrath OF
his triumphant enemies. If, on the con-
trary, he has sought refuge in a mon
astery, he is in imminent danger of being
| captured. The junta will undoubtedly
cause all the monasteries to be searched
for him if they put any faith in the report.
1t seems hardly plausible, however, that
he should seek an asylum with the clerical
| party, as it has been a recognized fact
that ever since the outbreak of the war in
Chile that the priests were in sympathy
with the congressionalists. The minister
of foreign affairs, Alduuate, while travel
ing toward Santiago today, was stopped
at Quillota, tifty-five miles from here, by

OUR INTERESTS IN THE PACIFIC.
An Upheaval in Hawaii Likely-Unrest
Among the Samoans.

WASHINGTON CRY, Sept 8.-Although
the efforts of this government to further
the introduction of American meat prod
ucts into Europe have not abated as re-
suit of the success of the negotiations with
Germany, the greater part OF official atten-
ton is now being directed to the advance
ment of American interests in the Pacific.
Reports are expected to reach the depart
ment in few days from Honolulu, em-
bodying the announcement of the death of
John Dominis, the prince consort. Devel-
opments in that quarter are being narrow
ly watched, on account of the possibility
of an upheayal. resulting In the jeopardy
of American interests.
Information from Samoa being indica-
tive of the existence of feeling of unrest
among the natives, it was believed polite
to send a man-of-war there. This vessel,
the Iroquois, arrived at Apia few days
ago. There is at present German man
of-war there, and an English cruiser is ex-
pected to reach there in few days. With
these vessels lending support to the estab-
Eshed government of the islands, it is felt
that any resistance to Malietoa, who occu-
pies the throne as result of the tripartite
agreement, will be speedily overcome.

An Institution the City should Have rs
Commercial Center.


Among the institutions which become
necessary in city when it assumes me-
tropolitan character is a grain and pro-
duce exchange, and Seattle has now
reached the point where such an institu-
ton is necessary to the satisfactory trans
action of its business as a commercial city.
The products which are brought here for a
market come in such quantities and in such
vatieties, and there are so many firms en-
gagged in dealing IN them that business can
no longer be carried on satisfactorily with
out some general place of meeting for buy
ers and sellers.
Seattle is the market for the hops of the
Duwamish, White river and Snouualmie
valleys. the oats of the Skagit flats, and
the yearly increasing crop of fruit and
vegetables of the whole Sound country.
IL should also soon become the center to
which the fruit of the Yakima valley is
shipped. But above all il is becoming the
principal point of export for the wheat
crop of Eastern Washington and increased
TRANSPORTATION facilities will draw that
business more and more To this city. The
grain-shipping business of last year prom
Uses to be multiplied several times this
season and the number of firms engaged
in 1t will be correspondingly increased.
The existence of a grain and produce
exchange marks the difference between q
country town and a commercial center
Without such an institution buyers and
sellers come together as individuals and
make their bargains, and their neighbors
know nothing of the transaction, and thus
its effect on the rise and fall of the market
is SLOW. With an exchan ge all sales are
posted, and quotations respond to varia-
tons in supply and dem and just as surely
and promptly as the tide rises and falls.
The prices made on the exchange are pub
lished and are a safe basis for business.
There are now on West street and along
the water front enough dealers in produce
of all kinds 10 form a strong exchange.
and several firms are about entering into
the grain-shipping business. which would
find an exchange of great value.

THE LECTURE BUSINESS.
Stanley Is the Greatest-Depew, Inger-
soil, keenan, and Others.


New York sun.
Speaking of the present condition of the
lecture business, Major J. b. Pond, who
managed Stanley's recent tour and paid
the explorer $4,000 for it, said: ''The
system of lecture courses which
was established by James Red
path in 1869 revolutionized the
lecture business. Before that some of our
great lecturers were satisfied to get $50 to
800 a night and expenses. There are
some men now who could make lots of
money lecturing, if they would. would
give Chauncey Depew $4,000 for fifty lee
lures. but he would not take it. William
Parsons makes from 5000 TO $4,000 sea-
son with historical lectures. He comes
over in winter and earns his money, and
then goes home to Dublin and gets new
lectures.
lone Of the marvels of the lecture field
was George KEENAN,, who, although pre-
viously unknown as a lecturer. earned
$4,000 in the season of 1890 by lecturing
200 nights, with the exception of four
days rest, without missing an engagement
or disappointing an audience. He tray-
eled $4,000 miles and spoke from six to
nine times in some of the large cities His
course comprised twelve lectures, chiefly
on the Russian revolutionary movement
and the sutferings of Russian political
prisoners, In the line of a series of articles
written by him for the Century Magazine
"A good deal of the most profitable lec-
turing is done in churches and Y. VI. C. A.
halls. There is a constantly increasing
demand for good lecturers, and | am in
correspondence with 1000 different per-
sons associated in the fnanagemrnt of

This year they will try it separately. They

people bike to hear them again. This is
true OF the best lecturers.
Mrs. Stanton. Anna Dickinson and
MRS. Llvermore have been our greatest
women lecturers. Miss Dickinson made
lots OF money until she began to scold her
audiences and got an idea that she could
act. She was at her height of success be-
tween 1866 and 1874. But when she stopped
iecturing she lost her patronage from the
old Quakers and religious people, and
Ialled TO get up new audience from the
tneater-goers. Both Mrs. Livermore and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton are vet in de-
mand at Sl00 TO 800 a night. Mrs. Liver

but can readily be placed in a lecture

SLAVES FOR MEXICO.
Two Hundred South Sea Islanders q

Two Hundred South Sea Islanders on
Board an American Brig.
SAN Francisco, Sept. s.-The brig Tahiti,
which put into brakes bay on Saturday in
distress, is reported to have left today for
San Benito, Mexico, with her human cargo
of 200 South Sea Islanders. The customs
officials were in doubt about the course
they should pursue in the matter. The re-
vised statutes of the United States provide
for the seizure and forfeiture of any vessel
found within the jurisdictional limit of the
United States having on board any person
OF color with intent to land the same
within the United States or elsewhere as
slave, or 10 be held for service or labor.
Collector Phelps states, however. that the
vessel had been driven upon the coast by
stress of weather and that her officers had
not intended to enter American waters.
lie had no revenue cutter within reach
to send up to examine the brig
cargo, nor had he authority to engage
other craft for that service. Captain Fer
guson, who is part owner of the craft,
states that he is acting as the authorized
agent of the Mexican government to assist
immigration TO that country, and that the
terms of the contract, which were ex-
planned TO all the natives before signing,
provides that they shall work three years
for IS a month, shall be given free passage
to and from the islands, shallbe given
house and tract of land, and be furnished
with food and clothing. The bark Helen
Almy took 240 islanders from Tahiti to
Slnben last year on the same terms. Be-
fore vessel can leave the island with such
a cargo, said Captain Ferguson, some con-
sular representative must examine each
native and certify to the passenger list.
In the case of the Tahiti this was done by
A. Rick, consular agent of the United
States at Gilbert islands,
