The Overthrow Chile Tyrant CON-.
mits Suicide.
His DYING DECLARATIONS,
He Accuses His Officers of Duplicity j.,
and Says He was not Responsible for
Deeds Of Cruelty.

New York, Sept. 20.-The Her.
AIDS correspondent at Valparaiso,
Chile, sends the following: Ex-
President Balmaceda of Chile shot
himself through the temple in his
room at the Argentine legation in
Santiago at half.past 8 yesterday
morning.
The story became known here
yesterday afternoon and created
the greatest excitement. Every
part of the city this evening is
brilliantly illuminated, and on
every hand is heard sounds of re-
joicing. Later accounts from the
capital coufrm the sensational
news and give the
DETAILS OF THE SUICIDE.
It now seems that Balmaceda
left Santiago on August Goth last,
in the hope Of making his escape
from Chile, but, seeing that every
avenue of retreat was cut off, he
returned there on September End
and direct to the Argentine legation.
His intention had been to go on
board the vessel "Condell," which
he expected to find lying in San
Antonio bay. Upon arriving there
however, he discovered to his cha
grin that the torpedcro had sailed.
Since his return to the Argentine
legation, in Santiago, Balmaceda
has been in an extremely nervous
condition. No one, with the excep-
ton of the minister of the Argen-
tine Republic and one other man,
who was devoted to the cause of
the ex-president, was permitted to
talk to or even see him. All the
different schemes of flight were
considered by the hunted ex-presi-
dent.
Senior Urriburia went to the the
atre last night. When he returned
to the legation he had long and
earnest talk with Balmaceda, rela-
tive to the latter's ideas, previously
preached, about the advisability of
giving himself to the junta. Sonora

in the bedroom that had been as
signed to Balmaceda. She notified
her husband. Before he went to
Balmaceda's room, he ran around
to the house of Carlos Walker
Martinez and brought that gentle
man back to the legation.
Upon breaking in the door of
Balmaceda's room, it was found
that he had shot himself. The
body was still warm. There was
S1gaping wound in the temple. The
body was undre ssed and lay on the

bed. A revolver was still held in
his right hand.
Dominica Zorro. Balmaceda's
brother-in-law, and the Minister to
Chile from Uruguay, Arrieta NAL
Choir Corletta, soon arrived at the
legation. Senior Conchoran ran to
to Moneda and informed the Junta
what had happened. A commission
was promptly issued. 1t comprised
Carlos Walker Martinez, Senior Mel
Choir, Senior Concho and Judge
Aguerra of the supreme court.
They went direct to the legation
from the office of the Junta's repre-
sentatives and viewed the body.
They then drew up process verbal
certifying to the facts already
stated. German Minister Gut
schmidt accompanied the commits
sion to the legation as an old friend
of Balmaceda. Gradually the news
spread over Santiago. The excite.
ment it created is indescribable.
Great crowds of terribly excited
people gathered all around the Ar
gentine legation.
They cheered and they hooted
and went into frenzy over the death
of their chief enemy. Above all
the discordant cries were heard
cries congratulating the unfortu-
nate Balmaceda that in taking his
own life he had escaped worse
fate. Balmaceda left a letter to
his mother and also a statement to
the Herald. AS almost the last
declaration of the dying man they
are of especial Importance. He
says:
II acted all during the past
eight months with firm conviction
that was right. I had no one in
the army in whom I could place
any trust. My generals were false
to me. They lied all through the
war. Had my orders been obeyed,
l believe that the battle of Concon
would have resulted in decisive
victory against the enemy.

trouble has been with Chile. I
sought to rescue my country from
foreign domination. I strove to
make her the first republic in
America. My enemies say was

Until the final battle at Placilla, I

of the money that was to be gotten
out of me. All the money that
have in my possession is $25OO.

BIG INDIANS IN A DUEL.
Knives We're the Weapons and Death
Was the Stake.


San Francisco Examiner.
William Weston, ranchman
living 20 miles north of Fishemin-
60, I. T., brings the story of a most
horrible duel which was fought
with knives by two Indians near
his ranch. There had been bad
blood between the two for some
time, which started over horse
race
The Indians were named Sewapi
and Nunechi. They had been re-
strained from fighting several times
by their friends, but upon meeting
at another horse race last week the
quarrel was renewed, and it was
finally arranged that they should
settle the matter by Guel with
knives. A large crowd of Indians
and half breeds were present, and
a ring was formed. Each man
had his second, who was armed
with a Winchester rifle, ready to
shoot down anyone who attempted
to interfere.
The contestants were stripped to
the waist, and each was armed
with two sharp knives, the blades
being about eight inches. When
the men entered the riag it was
with the understanding that in was
duel to the death. Both were
magnificent specimens ofmanhood,
and they we've equally adept in the
use of the knife.
Amid breathless silence the COM
batants slowly approached the CEN
ter of the ring. There they stood
for moment gazing at each other,
while the silence was most painful.
Not sound could be heard except
the occasional stamp of a horse on
the outskirts of the crowd. The
spectators sat around perfectly
motionless while the duelists began
slowly to walk around each other,
watching for a chance to throw
the other off guard. 1t was proba-
bly, two minutes before a chance
came and then it was with the
rapidity of lightning stroke.
Sewapi suddenly made leap
through the air toward his enemy,
and for an instant the air appeared
to be full of Indians and knives,
which latter flashed in the sun
shine like streaks of light. AS
quickly as they came together did
they separate, and Notwithstanding
the rapid play of the weapons it
was seen that neither had received
scratch. Still, during the whole
exciting scene, not sound could
Be heard except clashing steel as
it came together. Slowly the cir
cling began again, and the glitter
ing eyes alone showed that the
walk meant death. Soon the same
leap was repeated, this time by
Nunechi, who seemed to fly through
the air. The fight was fast and
furious, and when they separated
both were bleeding profusely.
Sewapi had a terrible cut across his
breast, while Nunechi had the
muscles of his left forearm nearly
severed.
The intermission was very short,
and both men sprang simultane-
ously toward each other. The
struggle was fierce, and suddenly a
trip was given and Sewapi fell on
top of his antagonist. The tighten
ing-like rapidity of the stroke and
parry precluded the possibility of
knowing who was getting the worst
of it, until it was noticed that
Nunechi threw up his arms, stiff
ened out his legs and was dead with
knife in his heart. Sewapi
sprang to his feet, gave an ear-split-
ting veil and then SLOWLY sank to

The Wife Racket.

An article of Editor Sprague'> in the Monsou
Slate is attracting considerable attention. Tn
der the healing Of the 'wife racket" he says
that the practice of husbands conveying to
their wives indirectly and often so obscurely
as to eVade the courts, real estate and other
property which is their own, simply for the
purpose of keeping it away from honest credit
tors and to escape the payment of lust debts,
is increasing at an alarming rate. He declares
it is done in every community in Maine, and
invOkeS the powers of the pulpit, the press and
the legislature to stop it. In invoking the press,
Editor Sprague does well, in invoking the pull
pit he does better and he should stop there. 1t
is simply matter of making more honest men.
No honest and honorable business man will
cheat his creditors out of their deserts by hid
Ing his property in his wife's hands or any
where else, but YOU can't make honest men by
law, and to say a husband should not give his
wife any pin money if he wants to is not right.
You will have to depend on the pulpit more
than anything else to correct the evil, Bro.

Politic i Po nts,

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, says he would
not decline the Presidential nomination if it
were rendered him.
"An impudent swindle'' is the comprehensive
description the New York Times (Dem.) ap-
plies to the free silver idea which is to be en-
bodied in the next National Democratic plat
form.
New England farm hands who receive their
$50 or go a month, with board and lodging,
will be interested to learn from the London
papers that farm foremen in England com
mand from so to Sl36 q year, while women
servants get from $4S to S97. This is sample
of the 'prosperity" that Mr.. Golden said free
trade would bring to English working people.
Farm hands in this country pin their faith to

Liquor Interests Immensely Tickled.
" inc and Spirit Gazette

The Maine hotel keepers evidently mean bus
dreds Of determined business men, who are
pledged to secure the repeal Of the Infamous
State prohibitory law. The hotel interests now
have over 5000 voters. The druggists, who
were only waiting for the hotel men to lead the
way, number 5000 more, while the restaurant
keepers, who are only too anxious to join the
druggists and hotel Keepers, mean 5000 more.
These three businesses can influence "A great
number OF other business men, and as Maine
has % 900 purchasable voters. any one can see
where the Republican majority of 10000 will
90. The resolution adopted by the Hotel
Keepers Association Is almost Identical with
