Specla! TO the Gazette.
LONDON. Oct. 24.-The peace congress
which is to be held at Rome next month
under the presidency of Signor Bonghi will
be directed no less against the principles OF
the triple alliance than against the customs
alliance Of Munich. Signor Bonghi Us a
politician is conservative. and IS personal
friend as well as follower of the Italian
prime minister This did not, however,
prevent him from throwing all the weight
of his reputation for profound learning and
indomitabe industry against the intention
of the government to renew the triple ALI
ance in April last.
Articles signed by him in the Fanfulla
called eloqucntly for the cessation alike of
i policy which was provoking France TO
hostility and OF ruinous alliance by which
peace was maintained. He admitted that
the object OF the triple alliance was the
maintenance of peace, but he described
that peace is one which ruins US ell. which
is monthly, weekly, hourly in peril: peace
which fills with alarm, compe!S 10 keep
our guns constantly loaded and 10 shout
every moment who goes there
He asked the dissolution of the triple al
lance It was renewed on the 2Sth of June,
but nothing discouraged apparently, ne IS
now converting congress to discuss peace
OF kind to which his previous description
will not apply.
In the meanwhile the Munich conference
gives little indication of the cessation OF
the commercial war, against which pro-
tests are rising no less loudly on the Italian
than on the French side of the frontier.
French political economists are saying that
their Mediterranean carrying trade will
shortly be destroyed by il. \ late Italian
calculation estimates the loss to Italy at
something over 1872, 0O00O0 lire.

Schley'S Report.

WASHINGTON. Oct. GA further study
of Capt Schley's cipher dispatch shows
that thirty-tive American seamen of the
Baltimore We're imprisoned by the Chilians
and afterwards dismissed, as there was no
proof against any of them of misbehavior,
confirming the statement that the Ameri-
cans were unarmed. Up TO date no arrests
were made
This confirms Capt. Schley's other state
ment that the Americans were unarmed,
sober and well-behayed at the time of the
sxHG and also indicates that at least
forty men out of the Baltimore's contingent
of 215 were the objects of rage of the
Gillian mob. 1t also appears now that up
to the date of Capt. Schley's report the
CHILEAN authorities had taken no steps TO
arrest and punish any of the Chilians re-
sponsible for the affair, or at ANY rate that
no Chilians were arrested, or that the
movement of the wheels of justice had
operated in any other direction than against
the Americans.
An official thoroughly familiar with all
the facts in possession of the government in
regard to Valparaiso pointed out this
morning that it was altogether different
in its material features from the Italian
affair at New Orleans. In the latter case
tine men assaulted were domiciled here and
were practically citizens of the United
States. At any rate, they bore no official

attacked wore the uniform OF the United

official said that the attack on them was
deliberate insult to the American flag, and

Secretary Tracy had an interview with
the president this morning in regard to the
matter, but refuses positively to say what
plan Of action has been agreed upon. 1t is
known that the administration regards the
situation as most serious, and that the in

Situation at the Vatican.

A Rome dispatch says the situation at the
Vatican is not less unsettled than week
ago. The pope is strongly in favor of
abandoning Rome. and thereby calling at
tention of the whole world to his grievances
against Italy. But he is not willing to take
such momentous step without the consent
of his ecclesiastical advisers, and this he
has yet q. been unable to obtain.
It is thought possible, however,
that he may decide to act upon his own
Judgment, in which case his counsel would
be obliged by religious duty, as well as their
personal interests, to obey his will. While

July that year would end with a surprise
that would cause us. the authors of it,
to be envied for long time afterward
among the other boys. Alas! there is
many slip But will not anticipate,
The next day we spent in collecting
and placing in position the barrels and
boxes for the bonfire that was to usher
in the glorious Fourth.
To our disappointment Joe was I'M
able to obtain the key by which we were
to gain access to the hiding-place of our
pyrotechnics, and we were forced to
leave them in their concealment another
night Joe was sure he could get the
key early on the following morning,
when we would have plenty of time to
accomplish our purpose before the peO-
pie were out OF bed.
But, wearied with our eXertions on
the night of the Sd, we oversight our
selves on the Fourth, and thus again our
treasure was forced to run the gantlet
of'another day. The shades of evening
would surely afford us the opportunity
that failed to come to us before.
The boys were unanimous in their
opinion that it was an unusually quiet
Fourth of July. But what with the
swapping of fire crackers and the pop

ping of pistols, from sunrise to sunset,
the old folks no doubt considered it
noisy enough.
The real celebration was begun after
dinner. The brass band took its posi-
ton on the band-stand wholly unaware
that they were sitting, so to speak, oil
the verge of a volcano, and played sew
eral patriotic airs Then the Chairman
of the celebration committee introduced
the orator of the day, who, following a
time honored custom. read the Declare
tion of Independence, after which, TAX
ing a drink of water and clearing his
throat a number of times, he began a
speech that was full of patriotism and
pol tics. In the midst of a period of sur
passing eloquence, he was interrupted
by the loud cheers of his hearers. The
men cheered and capped; and the boys,
always ready to aid in making noise.

lie square at the base of the Flagstaff.
1t was three or four feet high, and this
elevated platform was occupied by the
local band on occasions like the one now
approaching. The sides were composed
of lattice-work, painted green, and the
space under tho floor was used by the
authorities TO stow away various articles
belonging to the town for which no i'm

through the lattice-wOrk. "But how can

The varied tastes of humanity add
greatly to the spice of life. While we
think that apparently every one who
crosses the Atlantic is pushing to take
passage on the fastest steamers, there
are many who are just as anxious to
dawdRe over on the slowest boats.
There are enough of these to keep the
crawlers going year after year. Such
passengers are those who love the sea
voyage best of all, or who are in poor
health, and need the complete rest of
a long voyage. Passage on the slow
goers Is cheaper by far than on the fast
ones, yet it is not by any means the
poor or the economical who use them.
Some very rich New Workers travel
that way by preference.

scarce dozen words were said when,
before the eyes of thd hstonished audi
ence. the platform, With all it's Occu-
pants, rose in the air in confused mass,
like steamboat whose boiler had burst.
The truth instantly flashed upon me,
and upon the other three boys, as
could see by their white, terrified faces,
that the kettle of powder and other eX-
plosives had in some manner become
ignited, with the result above stated.
The people crowded around the ruined
band-stand, and lent their aid in eXtrl-
eating the entangled members of the
band and the orator of the unfinished
speech.
Fortunately, they were not injured be-
yond few scratches; but, as many oD-
served, it was a narrow escape for them.
This put an end to the official celebra-
ion of the day. And what an uneXpect-
ed conclusion it was!
Various theories were advanced as to
the cause of the catastrophe, but we
who could have thrown light on the
mystery thought it best to remain silent
and wonder with the rest.
When the remains of the kettle and
portions of the fireworks were unearth-
ed, many people were of the opinion that
it was an attempt on the part of the
enemy to get rid of the orator OF the
day, who was a politician, and conse-
ouently had host of ill-wishers.
But the people of Springvifle never
learned to whom they were indebted for
the subject of more than nine days
wonder; and we, the progenitors OF
it, had the doubtful pleasure OF seeing
the results of our hard-earned savings
go off at one burst. But we also had
the consolation of knowing that no
| event of that memorable Fourth OF July
was longer remembered than "Our Cele-
