CONTINUED CRUELTY.
Americans Maltreated with Impunfty IL
Valparaiso.


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Special corre-
spondence OF the Associated Press from
Valparaiso under date of Decem Der 18th,
tells OF continued ill-treatment of Amer
leans, and the refusal of the intendente
of the city to promise police protection
to the market boats of the Baltimore,
necessitating provisions being sent out
by private boats to the cruiser.
At the date of the letter there was
living on the Baltimore Doctor Stan
ley, q British subject who had been a
resident OF Chile number OF years.
He was a witness to the attack
upon Turnbull, the Baltimore sailor
who received twenty knife wounds
in the ARRAY last month, and
afterwards died. DR.. Stanley de.
Tended him as he could, and afterwards
took him to the hospital and cared for
him. 1t was known that his testimony
would be damaging. and few days
later he was assaulted and arrested.
Efforts were made to prevent his testi-
mony from being taken, but when he
was released from prison he went
aboard the Baltimore for protection.
The members of the crew of the Bal
timore subscribed nearly $500 in gold
and purchased monument, suitably
inscribed, to place over the graves OF
Riggin and Turnbull.
Another case of cruelty to American
seamen has attracted attention. The
American steamer Keweena, from New
York for San Francisco, stopped at Val
paraiso for repairs in October. One OF
her crew, Patrick Shields, was arrested
for drunkenness. He admitted that he
was drunk, but says he was given no
hearing at all, and was refused permits
sion to communicate with his captain
on the vessel or the consulate.
He was kept at work cleaning the
streets more than week, and brntally
beaten by the police. When released
he was scarcely able to walk. Hi
back and arms were mass of bruises
and according to the statement of ii
surgeon who attended him he receiy
internal injuries which will prevent b t
from working for several months. c.
sul McCreary took the man to the IN
tendente to show the latter his inju

Races in Grand Form - Sacrs-

1t now seems that the Los Angeles
public will have chance to gee the
wofld-renowned Direct go against his
record over the Los Angeles track. Mr..
Salisbury recently wrote to j. G. New
ton and expressed desire to send
Direct against the worlds record at Los
Angeles.
The local track is undoubtedly one of
the fastest elliptical tracks in the United
States. George Starr, the driver and
trainer for Mr.. Salisbury, is well aware
of this fact. He spent several seasons
here and had Johnston in charge. This
distinguished knight of the sulky has
apparently urged Mr.. Salisbury to bring
Direct to the Los Angeles track.
Mr.. Salisbury is anxious to pace dur
ing the holiday week, but the track has
been given over to the gallopers and
cannot be gotten into condition to go
against worlds record. The local as
ISOLATION will doubtless make arrange
ments to have Direct make a trial
against the scythe bearer about January
9th, if the weather permits.
Starr will also bring down Monbars.
the second fastest 2-year-old in the
world and the fastest ever bred outside
OF this state. The record of Monbars ID

the pace or trot, by % seconds, as he
was bred by Los Angeles county man,

THE GRAVES CASE.
More Evidence to show That Mrs. Bar

More Evidence to Show That Mrs. Bar
naby Was Poisoned.
DENVER, Dec. 12.-Most of today's
session OF the Graves trial was occu pied
by the testimony of various medical
men connected with the case as to what
caused Mrs. Barnaby's death, the effects
of arsenical poisoning, etc DR.. Buck
man, who performed the autopsy,
thought the primary cause of death
was arsenical poisoning; the immediate
cause being congestion of the lungs.
Together with DR.. Grant he said he yes
terday examined Mrs. Worreil They
found the muscles Of her feet very much
degenerated, no sensation in portions OF
her feet, and inflammation OF the toes of
one of foot. Inflammation OF the nerves
was the direct cause OF those symptoms,
and only three things could have brought
this about, arsenic, alcohol, or syphilis.
In his Judgment this condition of Mrs.
Worrell was caused by arsenical poison.
r. B. Carrier, brother-in-law and
stenographer to Worrell, testified to his
getting package out OF the postoffice,
and taking it TO Worrell's office, where
three or four days later. he opened it for
Mrs. Barnaby. Worrell said he would
carry it home for her, and the next day
after Mrs. Barnaby had been taken i'll,
witness was requested to hunt up the
wrapper and stamp, which had been
thrown in the Office waste basket. The
defense endeavored to prove that the
stamps saved by Worrell were those
taken off one Of the packages which DR..
Graves did send, instead of the one con-
tanning the poison.
An adjournment was taken while this
point was being argued.

HOLD YOUR WHEAT.
The Farmers again Exhorted to Walt
for Higher Prices.


for Higher Prices.
ST. PAUL, Dec. 12.--The Alliance or
gan, The State, is out this week with
another Hold your wheat" circular,
and presents the usual array of figures
to show that the farmer will profit by
following the advice laid down therein
1t holds that Russia is entirely out of
the race and India practically SO, and
present and future deliveries from farm
ers will fill but small portion of the
requirements. 1t does not advise
the farmer to create an I'M
necessary scarcity or repudiate debts,
but sell only what he is obliged to
when receipts are large and increasing
and when they are on the decline sell
only certain portion each month. The
exporting capacity OF the United States
is figured at 100000, 900 bushels more
than last yeai, which falls 10000. 000
short OF supplying the worlds deficit.
This lac, 100000 bushels would supply
Europe with bread for nineteen and
half days only. Taking all this into ac-
count, the circular asserts that if tne
farmer does not get twice what he is
now offered for his wheat, it is his own
fault.

last it dawned upon Tom that his

Gus Cheevers, an old halfbreed Indian,
noted for his herb remedies and knowl-
edge of occult science. No sooner had
Tom approached the old Indian doctor
than the latter looked wise and told
Tom that his wife had been poisoned
with rattesnake poison by neighbor.
The old Indian doctor could save her,
though, and for fee of $l8 he under
