Rev DR.. de Costa's Opposition Instigated by
Miss Chevallier.
NEW YORK, June Ever since Dr. de
Costa began his war upon Rev. Phillips
Brooks in his efforts to keep the latter out of
the Bshopric of Massachusetts, lie has
founded his arragnment of the Boston
preacher upon the statements Of CORE
spondent Of his in Boston. This person, he
said, must remain anonymous, but he could
assure the public that this person was
person of responsibility and one whose
statements could be relied upon. When DR..
dc Costa sent out his circulars to the
Bishops. which contained an extract from
his correspondents letter, he wrote in the
name of the writer. 1t has now leaked out
that DR.. de COSta's correspondent is Miss
Ada A. Chevaller, who established herself
in this town two years ago, coming here
from Boston. When the International Maga-
ziue of Christian Science went to pieces
under Mrs. Piunketts peculiar views of
marriage, Miss Chevalller took it
up and revived it under the name
of the Magazine of Truth. She
was an ardent Christian scientist" ana
soon after she came here she organized a
society, of which Heber Newton was made
the head When DR.. Newton took up the
cause of the Peoples Municipal League
Miss Chevsilier broke with him, and has
had a good deal to say against him since.

cause he knew her name would not carry
any weight in the church. l am much sur

he has all along said she was an important

THE TIN INDUSTRY.
Hhat the Tribune Thinks CT the Future
Of The Business.

New YORK. June s.-The Tribune Of
Monday prints an article on the tin-plate
industry, and editorially draws these con-
clusions:
First-That our people for years past
have been paying too high price for tin
plate.
Second - That there is no climatic or
mechanical reason why tlu-plates cannot
be economically produced in this country.
Third-That the question of wages paid
to the workers in this business is only one
that needs to be met by our tariff laws in
the establishment Of this industry here In
the United States.
Fourth-That the men who are entering
upon this industry have promised Congress,
and now promise the American people 10
produce better and cheaper TIN plate made
here In the United States than has been fur
nShed our customers for many years past
when the supply has come entirely from
abroad.
Fifth-That a large number of establish
ments are preparing to enter upon this new
industry, and that considerable number
are now making roofng-tin and bright TIN
plates. some of them for their own use, and
some for the open markets OF this country;
and that while the output is as yet small
compared with our enormous consumption
lJ IS 10 SuIlclenI 20 ueHlOnStIdto inc lehSiOll-
itp of the undertaking, and 20 show that
there is business sense in doing the same
thing on large scale.
Sixth - That the manufacture of tin
plates will in little while be one of the
great industries of the United States,
and will result In saving at least
S300O0,0O0 each year to American Ia
Dor and to American producers of steel,
lead, coal, lumber and other commO dities !;
and that it will surely reduce the price OF
tin plate, as similar laws have heretofore
resulted in the reduction of the price Of
other forms of steel. and all other kinds Of
goods manufactured by our citizens

BITTER FEELING.
Iquique Papers Complain Of the Seizure Of
the Itata'S Cargo.

IoUIoUE, June There is great ex-
element here over the decision Of the Ameri-
can Admiral to take The Itata without Al
lowing her 10 discharge her arms and am
munition. The press is very bitter, and
considers that the United States does not
recognize its code of republican ideas, and
commits grave error in thus indirectly as
sistng the dictator. Ell NaciOnal iu an
editorial says: I'VE know we have the
sympathies of the people Of America, also
Of the people of all other civilized nations,
but the act Of the United States Government
against a weaker power. in arms for its
liberties and rights. is not in harmony with
the traditions Of that Government" The
article continues: Let Americans take our
ship and arms, but let them reflect that they
leave nailed in the hearts of 100000 men
the sentiments of having been deceived in
their hopes. and OF having lost faith in the
nobleneSs of mind and the lberaity of senti-
ments of the Government at Washington"
WASHINGTON, June 7.-lnfOrmati0n has
been received in this city from Oh lie TO the
effect that the insurgent steamer 1tata, be-
fore proceeding to Iquique from Tocapilla,
landed at the latter place 5000 rifles and a
large amount of supplies.
PARIS, June THE Chilean Legation
has received an official note, issued at Sam
tiago by the sO-calied Delegation Congress,
representing that the revolution Is without
moral authority; that the insurgents of
Tarapaca lack authority and have no means
with which to make an expedition into the
pOpulous part OF Chile, and that the Gov
ernment army numbers $4,000 soldiers and
10000 Gendarmes, well equipped and dis
ciplined, while the Revolution army consists
Of only 5000 dem0ralized men. The Consti-

PROTECTED THE FLAG.
An Heroic Veteran Fatally Injure
While Taking 1t In.

An Heroic Veteran Fatally Injured
While Taking 1t In.
David Leonard, g. A. r. veteran, and
janitor of the County Building. in his efforts
to protect the flag he fought for. met with a
fatal accident last night, and lies dying at
County Hospital, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Yesterday he marched in the Memorial
day parade, and when he returned to the
County Building at 9 O'clock last night he
observed that the flag was still floating from
the top of the building. He remarked to a
comrade that the colOrs should have been
lowered at sunset and that he would have
to haul them down before going home. His
companion suggested that he wait until the
morning as the approach to the staff was by
means of narrow ladder extending dag
onally across the main light shaft from the
fourth floor to the roof dark and dangerous
passage at night Leonard replied: " am
going to take that flag in tonight l never
missed it before, and ON Decoration day it
would seem like Dissertation to leave 1t. 1
have been in more danger than climbing a
ladder for that flag, and ii you Will wait for
mo will bring it down in a few minutes"
Leonard left his companion and vert to
the fourth floor, and then climbing the lad
dar reached the staff, let go the halllardS
and the flag fell into his arms. Folding it
about him for convenience in carrying Leon
ard began to descend the ladder. When
halfway down he missed his footing and
fell the entire length of the light shalt to the
basement. His head struck some electric
light wires strung about ten feet from the
bottom and almost severed the top of his
skull. His right arm and shoulder were dis
located, his scalp almost torn off, and severe
internal injuries sustained. Leonard was
removed to the County Hospital by the Gen.
trail Detail patrol wagon and the physicians
there say that he can live but few hours.
