after which the bride is taken to her

marching to the sound of horns, pipes

Left-Le-gednesS.

a paper on ''Left-Leggedness" wa.
read before the British Association by
DR.. W. Il. Sibley, who said that Prof.
Ball, in ''Le Dualisme Cerebral, y
| speaks of man as a right-handed
animal. Being right-handed, it is
popularity assumed that he is also right
legged, but this does not appear TO be
the case. Standing, working with the
right hand, there is tendency TO use
the left leg for q balance. Many
| people find less exertion in going
round circles to the right than III
| circles to the left. Race paths are
nearly always made for running in
circles to the right. So the majority
formed to the right, as dancing, run
ming, etc.
The man in walking is to keep to
the right, and this appears to be almost
universal. 1t is more natural to bear
to the right. OF a large number of
people from the better educated
! classes asked about the existence of
the rule, only sixty-seven per cent.
males and fifty-three per cent. females
were aware of the rule. The large
majority obey it unconsciously in
walking. Crowds tend to bear TO the
right. The left leg being the stronger,
it is more readily brought into action
Hence troops start off with the left
foot. 1t is the left foot which is placed
into the stirrup of the saddle or step OF
bicycle in mounting. So the left is
the foot which man takes off from in
jumping.
In the experiments of Mr.. G. H.
Darwin, blind-folding boys and telling
them to walk straight, the right.
handed one diverged to the right, and
vice versa. From measurements OF
DIR. Carson of the skeletons of the
two legs, 54.3 per cent. the left was
the longer, and 35.S the right. Fol
measurements of the feet, the author
collected the drawings and measure,
ments of 200 pairs, with the result
that in forty-foUr per cent. the left
was longer, in 2l.5 per cent. the right,
and in 34.5 per cent. they were the
same size. Measurement at the first
joint gave fifty-siX per cent. left larger,
and at the instep ~ . per cent. From
the table of the figures it is observed
that the left foot is more frequently
the larger in the male than female sex,
and the percentage of feet of the same
size is greater in the female. The
percentage of the right larger than the
left is very constant, whereas the
numbers of the left larger and those
in which both feet were the same size
are much more variable. Man, being
naturally or artiticially right-handed
and left-legged, tends unconsciously tc
bear to the right; lower animals, Oh
the other hand, appear nearly alwayf
to circle to the left.

The Little Southern Republic Declines to
Apologize.
The CHILEAN government has replied
to Minister Egan's demand for an ex-
PLANTATION of the recent attack upon
American sailors. The reply is couched
in very strong language, End it is under
stood that it amounts to refusal to ac-
cept responsibility for the affair. The
State Department ut Washington has
been notified. A dispatch ofthe 2Sth says
minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul McCreary are consulting to-
gether and it is thought that decisive
action will be taken soon. The State
Departments orders in reference to
the matter are very sUrong. The
intendente of Valparaiso has re
fused to guarantee the safety of
market boats coming to that
city early in the morning from the
United States war-ship Baltimore, or
the safety of officers of that vessel COM
ing ashore at night. There is Il prac-
teal boycott on the Baltimore. No
American sailors are allowed ashore.
Great excitement has been caused here

PLOT TO KILL O'BRIEN.
A Story Circulated In Ireland Which
Causes a Sensation.

Cork, Oct. S0-Considerable excite
ment was occasioned here this morning
among the McCarthyites by rumor
| that was spread throughout the city
that a plot had been discovered, in
which a number of the more rabid
| Parnellites were implicated, to murder
William O'Brien. The police, however,
declare that there is no foundation
| for the rumor, and that in all
events they will protect Mr..
O'Brien from any attempt that may be
made to injure him. The National
Press, OF Dublin, is responsible for the
story. The same paper stated that
| there was a plot to assault if not to kill
| John Dillon. According to a sensa-
| tional story circulated, a woman who
was returning from political meeting
at Maytield heard four men plotting to
| kill Mr.. Dillon as he and a number of
| his followers were returning from the
meeting The woman, the report
stated, made such a loud cutlery as MIR.
Dillon and his party approached as to
warn them of the proximity of the
wouldbe murderers and the latter
| hastily decamped. The affair has caused
a sensation.
The infrmaries of this city have been
busy since early morning attending to
the injuries of the persons who were
hurt in the ell-McCarthyite riot
There are now ninety-two patients in the
hospital suffering from wounds received
during the fighting. This number, of
| course, is in addition to a very much
| larger number of persons who are be-
| ing treated at their own homes, The
wounds, as rule, are about the pa
tents heads, showing that the black
thorn has been getting in most effective
| work.
At n police court this morning num-
| Der of McCarthyites were fined for stop
ping q Parnelhte meeting. In imposing
the sentence the magistrate stated that
the behavior of the rival factions was
worse than anything he had witnessed
| in Belfast.
In consequence of the disturbed state
of affairs in Cork the police of Fermoy,
ten miles from this city, and the con-
stabulary from all the outlying stations,
have been ordered to proceed immedi-
! ately to Cork.
The whole force of mounted police at
present in this city has been placed at
| the disposal of Mr.. Dillon, and will &C
company him everywhere until the
close of the political campaign now be-
ing fought there between the Mccarthy
ties and the Parnellites.

NO GROUND FOR WAR TALK
Secretary Tracy Hidicules the Sensational
Reports Regarding the CHILEAN Affair.

Secretary Tracy RidicuIes the Sensational
Reports Regarding the CHILEAN Affair.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 2.-Secretary
Tracy to-day said that there was no
warrant for sensational, war-iike dis
patches regarding the CHILEAN affair at
this time. The United States govern
ment has requested an investiga-
ton Of the assault upon the
Baltimore's sailors; an investigation
is being made, and nothing
can be done until the results are
known. He saw no reason for any APP
prehension in the mind of the Ameri-
can public. The Secretaries view is
evidently shared by the officials of the
Department of State, who look with
clumsily disguised efforts to certain
element in the English press to foment
serious trouble between the United
States and Chill in an effort to undo tho
advance made toward the establishment
of close political and trade relations be-
tween the United States and the South
American republics by Pan-American
conference and its CorrelatlVe move
ments.
Senior Mont paid visit to the Navy
Department this morning. lie came
about ha!f-past 10, end met Secretary
Tracy and Secretary Blaine. There is
reason to believe that Senior Montt
sought to secure the testimony
of some of the American
sailors as contained in the report of
Capt. Schley's board of officers. AS
Capt Schley was not permitted to have
one of his officers present during the
examination of the arrested American
sailors, the United States government
has felt bound to decline to permit its
sailors to give further testimony.
The ordinance bureau announced
this morning that in four months
the harbor defense vessel Monterey,
now being built at San Francis
co, will be quite ready for
service. She now lacks her guns ana
armor. The former are finished at the
foundry in this city, and one of the two
Finch rifles will be tested this
week at Indian Head. The otter
will soon be ready. The armor
plates are being delivered and
tested. The Monterey will, in the
opinion of the naval authorities, be the
most formidable craft in the American
navy. with the possible exception OF the
monitor Puritan, which is also nearing
completion.
Senior Pedro Montt, the CHILEAN minis
ter, will leave Washington tonight Tor
New Orleans, to be gone until next week.
He declined this afternoon to say any
thing respecting his visit to the
State and Navy departments. lie SAID
that matters are progressing sausfac-
torily and deprecated the publication
of sensational and trouble breeding

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 31.-One of the

year or more was solemnized to-day at

groom Lieut.. Rennie Pierre Schwer-
in, of the United States navy. A
large number of guests were present,
Philadelphia and New York being we'll

officers and appeared in full-dress uni
form. The ceremony was performed
by the Rt. Rev. DR.. Nicholson, who
on Wednesday last was consecrated

mony, and as the parish is high church

occasion by appearing in what was
probably the most magnificent vest
ments ever worn in an Episcopal Church
in this country These included
an embroidered cape of cream
colored silk held together with Il
golden clasp studded with diamonds.
About his neck was a cross of golden
jewels, while he wore ring with Il large

the state of Wisconsin. The bride is a

Low Temperature and Snow Reported

LONDON, Nov 1.-The winter season
is commencing in Europe with unus-
ual severity. England has al
ready been visited by sharp frosts,
and dispatch from Hamburg an
nounces that there has been a heavy
snowfall, and that the thermometers
register temperature seven degrees
below the freezing poing. Advices from
Greece state that torrents of rain
have fallen throughout that country,
and that there have been heavy snow
falls in the mountain districts, which is
unprecedented at this period of the
