ST. BLAISE.
John B. Haggin Will Give Sl25,Ooo for the
Stallion.


Stallion.
NEW YORK, Oct 1S.-There is report
here tonight that j. B. Haggin will offer
Charles Reed Sl25. 900 for the stallion St.
Blaise. He intended to bid on the stallion
Saturday night, but the prompt manner in
which Reed bid $1,000 perhaps made
him feel that Reed had no limit.
According to trustworthy reports, Reed
did have a limit. 1t is reported
that his business has not been OF the best
lately, and that he sought in buying st.
Blaise to impreye his fortunes. Twenty
seven thousand dollars, it is said. is what
he had in ready cash on Friday. Part of
this he spent in buving horses at the first
days sale. At the Belmont sale on Satur-
day he brought his money UP to S1c4,0O
Going 10 General Stephen Sanford, who also
wanted st. Base, lie is said to have stated
that the animal was necessary for him to
$4,000. Sanford agreed not to bid unless
some one else exceeded that figure. In that
case, it is said, Sanford was ready to 90 as
high as Sl50.000. 1t is also reported that
Marcus had commissioned Matt Byrnes to
bid as high as SiOO 900, but Daily was not in
reach when Reed made his startling bid,
and Byrnes did not feel justified in going
beyond that figure 4 rem eSentatIye OF
Daly, IL is said, has approached Reed with an
offer, but has received no encouragement.
$4,000 or $4,000 would hardly seem to be
a sufficient advance If Reed needs to b better
his fortunes. for, barring accidents. St.
Blaise ought to be a gold mine when trans
ferrrd to his Tennessee stud. With $500 or
$1,000 for service it would not be long before
he paid for himself, besides adding to the
fame Of the Fairview stud. Belmont paid
$4,000 for st. Blaise
Another dispatch SAYS: When the Won
der wore away at Reeds daring acquisition
OF st. Blaise, both Daily and Haggin had
their regrets. They had calculated on hav-
ing the battle to themselves, ard found
that neither was in it. To-day. however,
local paper says that Haggin will make
an offer to Reed and said it will be $3.50
above the purchase price. Marcus Daily
had taken time by the foreock. and before
Reed went to bed yesterday morning he was
approached by representative OF the Mon
tana Miner. To him. however, the Te1nes-
seean gave little hope, and he may give less
to Haggin. He made sacrifices to pur-
chase the horse, and will probably retain

riaIs and Foodstuffs.
PARIS, Oct. l8.-When the Senate Tariff
Committee begins the debate on the propo-
siiion to remove the prohibition on Ameri-
can pork the ultra-Hrotectionist members
will attempt to secure an adverse report on
the scheme. Neither Ferry nor Tirard,
who are tn members Of this important
committee, are very sauguine that the pro-
posal can be carried. MiI!aud, another
member OF the committee, told an AssOci-
ated Press representative to-day that lie
thought the bill would ultimately prevail in
spite Of the tendencies of the ultra prOtec-
tionists The recent quarrel of Ferry with
the committee has not tended 70 smooth the
way to the removal of the decree against
the admission of American pork, but quite
the contrary. Yesterday Renich, in
supporting the position taken by Ferry,
called the reactiOnists in the committee "a
collection of little FOOLS" thus ling in
creased bitterness to the dispute.
To Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the American
Minister, Ferry said if the Senate allows
itself to be Influenced by the course the
committee seems bent on pursuing the pro-

iers were quickly smoothed over. The
Cbileans were determined to keep it up. and
whenever in their rambes about town the
American and Chilean sailors met, fighting
ensued, and soon the news spread over the
city.
The result was the bringing together of
a tremendous mob, VINO urged the Chilean
sailors on, and melted them to violence.
They were joined by the soldiers, who took
part with the sailors, and the Americans,
cut off from their ship and hemmed in by
superior numbers, were compelled to defend
themselves as best they could. Back to
back, with overwhelming odds against
them, and With nothing but their fists for
weapons Of offense aud defense, the Amer
leans fought with true Anglo-Saxon pluck.
CowARDLY CHILEANs.
On the part of the Chileans the fight was
conducted after the most cowardly fashion,
and knives were used with deadly effect
Seven Americans were stabbed, including
boats wain's mate Ryan, who was killed,
and in every instance an examination de-
velOped the fact that the wounds were in
the back.
The Chileans, however, seem tn haya
Jared even worse, for one Of their number
lost his life and ten others were removed to
the hospital suffering from knife wounds.
How these latter were inflicted is not ex-
aetly clear, Dut it is surmised that in the
confusion attendant upon the nffray they
were received at the hands Of their own
cOuntrymen.
During the progress of the row The great
est excitement prevailed In the city. A
number of American officers who CHANGED
to be ashore learned of the trouble, and they
appealed at once to the police for aid. 1t
was granted them, and order was finally
restored.
BRAVERY OF OFFICERS.
Every one of the American sailors was
conducted to the boats, and after being
safely placed aboard the Baltimore the Off
GERS pluckily returned TO the city, where
they were greeted 18th cheers by the better

This story looks f,hy, as the boat is not
damaged, and it is more likely tha. she vas

microbe has been understood for some time

remarkable for its infnitesimal size and its
extreme activity. 1t may be found in
