4 FEROCLOUS DESPOT.
H!GH-HANDED OUTRAGES PEHPE-
TRATeD BY BALMACEDA.

Harb..rous Punishment Inflicted Upon
Those Who are Supposed to Sylnpathise
With the Revolutionists-A Reign of
Terror.
New YORK. juno 22.-Many start
ling facts in connection with the revolu-
ton now raging in Chile, which throws
lich. upon the ferocity and despotlsm Of
Balmaceda, are now given to the public
for the first time through the United
Press. The three gentlemen. two Of
whom arc prominent Chileans, from
whom these facts are obtained, are at
present in New York, having arrived
here last week. They have witnessed
the conduct Of The revolution from its
inception, and speak from actual knowl-
edge.
The combined stories Of the three
show that Balmaceda is well termed the
''tyrant,n IN Santiago, where his head
GU ,rters are, no one dares to utter
word against him. He has cross Of
red painted on all the houses of people
whom he suspects are not wholly in
sympathy with him, and into these
marked residences his police and SOL
diers 60 at any hour Of the day or night.
They rausack the rooms, on the ground
that they are looking for revolutionists
who are supposed to be hidden there.
The soldiers demand wine and food, and
after having as gooda time as they wish,
depart, only to repeat the o1ense in
some other marked residence. The peo-
pie in these houses are forbidden to lock
their doors.
No one is allowed to ride on horse
back through the streets after O'Clock
In the afternoon: no three persons are
allowed to walk the streets in company
at any time OF The day, and no two per-
sons can stand and converse on the
street. 1t is verltable reign of terror
for all who, either through fear or inter-
est. have failed TO cast their fortunes
with Balmaccda.
The storekeepers and all who employ
laborers have to furnish each one with a
tag, showing that they are regularly EN-.
ployed by such a merchant at such =
place. If the laborer IS caught on the
Street, going to or from his work, with
out this tag he is gobbled up by the SOL
diers of Balmaceda and impressed into
his service. This system exists in VAL
paraiso also.
One Of The gentlemen referred to was
walking along the estreetpast jail yard.
He heard some terrible shrieks from
some one on the other side of the wall.
He enquired Of soldier the cause and
was told that some of Balmaceda's SOL
ders were Furnishing a man who had re-
fused to work for him by driving tacks
and pins into his hands and fingers.
The next day he saw horrible pun
Ishment meted out to Chilean who had
been overheard to say that he was will
ins to work his hands off for the revolu-
tionists. TIE poor fellows hands were
placed on block and his fingers pound
ed to a Jelly by big ulallet in the hands
of a soldier. lie was then told that he
could 90 and work his hands any way he
wanted to, and for any one.

4 Minister and q Mason.

BosToN, June 22.-During the regular
Monday meeting Of the Baptist ministers
in Chapel Hall this forenoon the Rev j..
3. Stoddard addressed the Conference,
at its suggestion, upon the influence OF
secret societies upon the Church, and IN
the course of his remarks he strongly de-
nounced Masonry, declaring that when
a man swears allegiance to Masonry he
swears allegiance to code antaSonlstlc
to God.
The Rev Mr.. Cleveland, of Melorse,
who was in the audience, arose to APPOINT
of order, and, with suppressed emotion,
said: Il am a Mason and cannot listen
to this unjust and uncalled for abuse"
Chairman Moran put the question to
the meeting of sustaining the point OF
order. and it was defeated-5O to I.
Instantly Mr. Cleveland rose and: ad.
dressing the secretary, said: Il request
that you drop my name from The roll OF
membership Of this Conference. | do
not care to be member OF any body
that refuses to sustain any decent point
Of order"
Then taking his hat he lett the hall
and Stoddard finished his address.

Hrutes in u Biting Match.

SHANoKIN, Pa, June Pin West
Coal township. early yesterday morning,
Patrick Ryan and James Levitt en-
gagged in a ten-round biting match, d
contest that has rarely been equaled in
brutality by any struggle between hu-
man beings. For some time there had
been bad Slood between the men over
the latter's wife, and when the princl-
pals met on Saturday night they con-
cluded to have prize" tight with bare
knuckles. It was midnight when they
met, with couple hundred friends, on
a dancing pavilion. After fighting a
few rounds the principles agreed to
turn the struggle into q biting match.
Their hands were strapped behind their
backs and time was called. Ryan
lodged Levitt's rush, and before the
latter could recover Ryan's teeth had
torn a piece OF flesh from his opponents
cheek. Levitt Immediately retaliated
by sinking his molars into Ryan's neck.
RYAN sprang on his half-falntlng op-
ponent and deliberately tore almost
half of the lower jaw out. The specta-
tors, not being able to stand further
brutality, iuterfered. stopped the fight,
and both men were carried home.

rhe Weather and tho Crops.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin of the South Carolina weather ser
vice, in CO. operation with the United
States Signal Service, for the week end
ing Saturday is as follows and is not
very encouraging to farmers:
The rainfall for the past week was
about the normal, fairly distributed and
beneficial to all crops in most sections
of the State. The temperature was
about the average and beneficial to all
crops. Sunshine was about the average
amount which was very beneficial to
crops, and, while no excessive rains,
destructive winds nor hail was reported,
vet. nevertheless, the constant showers
and the heavy and continued rains OF
the previous weeks have kept the lands
too wet to perform the usual amount OF
farm labor, and the result has been
that a large portion of the cotton crop
is in the grass, and in some Instances
almost hopelessly ruined. The rains,
whilst they have benefited the cotton on
clay lands, have to a great extent ln-
iured that on sandy lands, scalding the
Young plants and thereby causing
much of it to die out. The stands are
generally very imperfect; cotton is
small and from present appearances the
prospects are very discouraging.
The condition of the corn crop con-
tinues to improve, and the prospect for
a full average crop IS now almost as
sured.
The fall sats have been harvested and
the yield is much larger than anilcl-
pated, but the area is smaller than last
year.
The early rice is later than usual,
planting having been retarded by
heavy and continued rains. In some
sections not more than half the crops
were planted until the present month.
rhe crop is up and growing finely, and
with continued favorable weather it
will he increased over that of last year.

ocartic State Convention today renomi-
mated Governor Boies by acclamatlon.
The ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant Governor, l. L. Bestow;
Judge Supreme Court, L. G. Kline;
Superintendent OF Schools, j. 3. Knoep-
fer; Railroad Commissioner, Peter A.
Day.
The platform was adopted by uuanl-
nous vote. 1t demands the repeal of
the probibitory liquor law and favors
the passage Of carefully guarded license
tax law; advocates the Australian sys-
tenn of voting, and favors State and ma
tlonal control anu regulation of railroads.

combines, and favors the election OF
United States Senator by a direct vote
of the people; demands free coinage OF

der; favors liberal and equitable pension
laws.
1t denounces the Mckinley bill, the
motives oflts authors and defenders and
the theory under which 1t is submitted

Such legislation, it says, increases the
cost of the necessaries Of life, promotes
dishonest manufactures; trusts and
combines, creates sectional envy despoils
the many for the benfit Of the few, threat
ems the country with an aristocracy based
upon ill-gotten gain. and above all cor
rupts the politics of the country so as to
seriously endanger the perpetu!ty OF
popular government.
1t denounces the wastetul and lavish
appropriations Of the last Congress, and
concludes by recommending liberal ap-
preparation for the display ofIowa's re-
sources at the Worlds Columbia Expo
sitiOn.

WILL Be A SPLIT?
An Interesting Alliance Conference Re-
Gently Held.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. June PA
Jackson, Miss. special to tie II ~es-Un-
ION says: During The visit here OF Polk,
Livingston Mcdowell and Willltts, Al
lance lights, some interesting develop
ruents came to the surface in relation TO
National Alliance matters. The Ma
:ianal Alliance legislative council met IN
Washington last February aud created
legislative committee cpnslS.lnc OF
three members, Of which U. 5. Hall.
president of the Missouri Alliance. was
one. The functions OF this committee
were to formulate measures growing out
of the Ocala demands, to be presented
to the SD Congress. Hall, from the
inception of the sub-treasurY measure,
has been one Of its strongest opponents.
When he was elected member OF the
committee it was regarded as a victory
for anti-treasuryites, aud it was so pre-
claimed and as an indication Of the ultl-
mate abandonment OF the scheme.
Hall, after his election, commenced
to ,rk with increased yigor against the
scheme and with his coadjutors had sue
ceeded i'll organizing movement cover
ING the entire Southern States, as Is
shown by the call for a meeting OF the
Anti-Sub treasury League at Dallas.
Texas, on July 10 next. This meeting
promises 10 be largely attended and or
ganized opposition to the sub-treasury
measure and Macuneism will be def
nitely inaugurated, and on this circum-
stance hangs an interesting tale.
Within the last mopth remonstrances
have been sent to Hall by members Of
the legislative council, and members
have also urged upon President Polk the
necessity of taking action against Hall.
Polk has had considerable correspon-
Gence with Hall, advising him to desist.
and very recently submitted to him one
of two alternatives, either to cease his
opposition to the sub-treasury bill. or to
tender his resignation as a member OF
the legislative committee. In the event
of his Noncompliance lie was given
plainly to understand that he would be
suspended and was given until July 25
tc make his answec.
1t is believed that this Is a decisive
stroke Of policy to Illustrate the objects
of the Ant;-Sub-treasury League at Dali
las, Tex, and 10 influence less intrepid
opponents to the measure than Hail 10
steer clear of the Dallas council.
Those who know President Hall as
sert positively that he will decline to be
coerced and to give up his convictions,
hut. on the contrary. he will resign and
fight the sub-treasury scheme harder
than ever. 1t is believed by many that
this will split the National Alliance. aud
that an independent organization will
grow out of the Dallas meeting as the re-
suit, with more liberal policy in many
respects, and especially as to member
ship,

DON'T SERVE COLORED PEOPLE.
Bow the Civil Rights Law is ETaIed in
President Earrison's homo.

Indianapolis, June 19.-"We don't
serve colored people here," said waiter
OF one of the leading restaurants OF the
city. How do We Go IT, Well. we do
not decline to feed them. This is
the way We get around the law. A col
ored man comes in and takes seat
at the lunch counter. He calls for pork
CHOPS, say. We Say, Are you wiliibg 10
pay our pr.ce? He invariably answers.
sWhat am the price, And wemention
rate so high that he Departs without
ordering to seek more reasonable
place.
"Out in Washington where | used to
work" said be, "the restaurants have
another way Of evadilg the law which
is 500 fine for declining to serve ne
gro. There they keep two bills of fare,
one for the whites and one for the
blacks. If a colored man takes seat
in restaurant the waiter places before
him the black bill of fare, which reads
something like this. Two boiled eggs,
IS cents; pork chops, 81 ham and eggs,
S1.5O,' etc. Of course he does not Orde-
and he never returns to that restaurant.
The corresponding articles in the white
bill of fare are: Say 20, 80 and 40 cents.
1t was through the misuse of these two
bills Of fare that lost my job there.
Absent-mindedly l gave a white bill
of fare to a smart colored department
messenger. Of course he ordered and
was allowed to eat. 1t could not be
helped. The next day he returned, but
this time he was given the black bill
of fare. To our CONSERVATION he gave
the same order he had the previoue
day. But this time gave him check
for S1.75. He walked up 10 the cashier
and planked down a half dollar piece.
saying he would duplicate his order OF
the day before and would pay the same
rate and no more. He threw the half
dollar in the glass case and made break
for the door, but we seized him and
locked him up in a room while l went
for the police When returned with
blue coat he was gone, having jumped
out through a window. He had the
proprietor arrested. The judge fined
him 500, holding that public caterer
could not charge one price one day and
another the next"
One strange feature about this
evasion of the law is that colored wait
ers are the most jealous in excluding
colored men from the restaurants in
which they work. 1t will be remember
ed that q colored waiter was discharged
from service in a Chicago hotel last
winter because he refused to wait upon
a nobleman from Siam, saying that he
would not serve "Iigger. Sentinel.

morning from Senator George, in which
he declears in favor of the Ocala plat
form, excepting as to the sub-treasury
and land loan features and government
ownership of railroad and telegraph
lines. Col. Livingstone, the leading
Southern Allianceman, says the letter
is wonderful exposition Of the Ocala
demand, and will place Senator George
in a strong light before the Alliance.
