Renewal OF Anti-Amcrican Agitation
Directed Against Admiral Brown.

Renewal OF Anti-American Agitation
Directed Against Admiral Brown.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 3..-The renewal of the
agitation against Americans. and particu-
larly Minister Egan, begun again upon the
arrival of New York and other papers up to
Sept. 20, aud the Santiago and Valparaiso
papers have been publishing American
press comments. The ATTACKS against Ad.
miral Brown are still being kept up, and
the papers are making much OF the dis
patch from Admiral Vial, the former in
tende of Valparaiso, to Balmaceda the day
of the landing of the troops at Quinaero.
In it Admiral Vial informs Ralnlaceda
that Admiral Brown expressed the belief
that the congressional troops would not re-
embark. At that time the government
merely feint. and that they intsnded to
re-embark and etfect n landing soSth of
Valparaiso. Tho object in publishing this
dispatch is to give out the impression that
Admiral Brown gave information to Vidal
in regard to what he had seen on his visit to
Quinteros and expressed his opinion or sug-
geston in regard to the movements of the
troops there, which assisted Balmaceda in
arranging his plans to resist attack.
The Spanish delegation bas five of Bal
maeeda's supporters under protection and
has taken the same stand as Egau and dur
ing the controversy has acted IN larmony
with him at all times
A sensation has been created by the pub
lication OF q notice by the three brothers of
Alduseate. the minister of foreign relations,
that the American residents OF Chill, whose
sympathes were with the congressional
party during the war, have expressed their
indignation at the conduct Of the proyis-
onal government in regard to certain mat
ters in which the American government is
interested, anu, also the hostile attitude OF
the public toward the United States. In
referring to tho massacre of the lnltl-
more's saitors correspondent says. the
attack was brutal and cowaldly and WAS
made simply because tho men we're Ameri-
cans. There ase also good grounds for the
belief that the attack was " promeditatad
affair, and not only made by sailors of the
ChiliNn war ships, boatmon and other
tough characters, but also by tho police of
Valparaiso, who made no effort to stop the
massacre. but uided in tho assault upon the
Americans,

Scandal MoncOrs DlsappOlnted.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 3-lspecial. The case
of B. l.. Gilkeson, publisher of tho Humane
Journal, came up in the police court this
morning and was dismissed. The defend
ant asked for another continuance, but the
complaining witness, Miss scribner. oould
brook the laws delay and preferred to
have her charge stricken from the calendar
rather than to waste amy more time upon it.
MFR. Gilkeson was allowed to return in peace
to the sanctum where he wields the pen in
the interest OF down trodden humanity,
and from which place, Miss scribner set
forth in her complaint, she had been forci-
bly, elected last Friday. Sensational de-
velopments were expected which would
probably throw light upon ths resent affair
in Montana, in which Miss Soribner and
Gilkeson's brother were connected, and
some regrets were expressed that the case
was allowed to drop.

The Alton Boycott Practically Lifted-A
Freight blockade.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3.--Although the boycott
agairst tho Caiaago & atonr road has not
been formally declared off, it apparently
cannot be continued consistently without
also being directed at the Chicago, Burling-
ton u Quincy. The latter road notified the
board of rulings that it will Immediately
resume payment of passenger commissions
in eastern territory. It is asserted that oil
western lines are following the example of
the Burlington. Every eastern road. with
the exception of the Pennsylvania lines,
has notified western connections that owing
to the accumulation OF freight it cannot
longer receive grain reconsigned at Chicago
for eastern points. The situation has now
become serious. Ihe yards of eastern lines
are crowded with loaded cars marked for
transfer. Western roads have refused to
allow any more of their equipment east OF
Chicago and eastern connections are
unable to provide cars enough to make
necessary transfers. II is predicted that
before the cloHe of the month there will be
a Tremendous blockade extending from the
Missouri river to the seaboard. Advices
from the western whogt bolt indicate that
farmers in many localities have insufficient
storage room for their grain and are unable
to procure oars Mt any price for tho ship
ment of their surplus.

THE CAUCUS.

VIII 10 Held saturday Afternoon
Springer's Forces Solidifsd.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-It has been gener-
ally reported here that the democratic con-
gressionnl caucus will ba held at two p. M.
Saturday. This hour seems to please all
candidates except Mr. Mills, who wants the
hour to be 1880 Saturday. In case the can-
didates are unable to agree, Mr.. Holman.
OF Indiana, chairman of the caucus, will
probably DO wired for decision. Tho
three minor candidates, each IA steadfaat
as ever, will remain in the field until the
finish and the followers OF each e1press tho
same hope that they will be elected. The
statement of the Iowa delegation, who have
been for Springer, that they, in order to
prevent the election of Crisp, would desert
Springer ana vote for Mills, caused Spring
er's Indiana delegation, lad by Congress-
man Shiyely, to hold Il short caucus. At
the conclusion of the caucus Shlvely an
nounced to the Iowa delegation that their
desertion of Springer would be the signal
for the Indiana men to vote solidl, for
Crisp, who is their sacond choice. The an
nouncement Was a thunder clap to the Iowa
delegation. During the afternoon Hayes
leader of the Iowa men. after short con-
ference with Mills, SKID, II am not pre-
pared to take tie responsibility of being
tho first man to deaest Springer. My pres
ent Intentions are to ramaln with him to
the end unless break III made by some or
his othsg friends.'' This Is interpreted TO
mean that Fithian, Fotman, NowberrM and
Wide, nll of Illinois, must first desert
Springer in favor Of Miils A strenuous Of
fort will be made Tomorrow to unite the
Alabama delegation of Crisp and Michigan
on Springer. 1t is impossible to ascertain
the complexion of tho Wisconsin, delega
tion, and IL good deal of missionary work is
being done in that direction.
A statement WAS given out from tho
Mills Headquarters late tonight reviewing
the situation, claiula Of contestants, etc.
and asserting that Mills has 126 on the first
ballot, or ten more than enough to noni-
nate. Crisp. it says. will get nearly his
entire strength on the first ballot while
much of Mills vote may be looked up with
Springer and other friends. When this
statement reached Crisp headquarters a
counter manifesto was issued, asserting
that their list has steadily grown until now
II gain Of twelve votes wonld give Crisp q
majority. Should any candidate withdraw
Crisl's nomination would be inevitable on
the first ballot. Tho Illinois delegation to-
night unanimously adopted II resolution to
continue to work for springer. senator

Famine and Plague.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 3.--Gsorge r. Matthews,
of New York, reached this city to-day from
Mexico. He says the reports of the famine
in Chiapas and North Guatemala are short
of the truth. At San F'ristobal, Sitaln,
Tirpalapa and Feopisoa, the main cities of
Chiapas. there is scarcely enough food for a
days full rations, and in all the small vii
lagos and isolated spots tho food is
exhausted. Nearly all the live stock has
died or been killed for food. Whole famil-
les have died from starvation and disease,
caused by insufficient food. Matthews
believes that not less than 5000 lives have
been Loaf owing to the famine, and that the
plague is spreading.

to the exact style and satisfaction

they sell goods for less than cost,
the other argues on the best quail

public that in the genuine is the
satisfaction. One deals in sidewalk
solicitation, button -holing tho
passer-by, while the other, relying
on the merit of his goods and the
