CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Enancipat;on
day was celebrated today by the colored
people with mass meeting and picnic
at Osgood grove. Thomas +. Miller, of
Beaufort county, South Carolina, was
the orator of the day. He eulo2ized
Abraham Lincoln, and speaking of the
South said: "The new South is a fact.
The child, is however, Informed. It's
blood is tainted; it is strong, but lacks
endurance. 1t is as much your duty to-
day to assist the nation in training and
developing this partly spoiled youth,
as it was your duty late in the fitties to
educate through your patron saint, the
nation up to the point of the emanci-
patton of the slave and the preserva-
tion of the Union. Omit it, and the
work will have to be done over again
in the same way as it was finished at
AppOmattoX."

The Ohio Campaign.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, September 22.-
Representative Roger q. Mills. OF
Texas, addressed about five thousand
Columbus voters tonight. There was
quite a number of republicans in the
audience, and the closest attention was
given to the speaker during the entire
Two hours of his address.
The Thurman and Jackson clubs eS-
corted Mr.. Mills from the Governors
residence and made a fine appearance,
The speaker was introduced by Gov
ernor Campbell, who was at his best.
and was warmly greeted by all present.
Since the opening of the democratic
campaign last week there has been a
wonderful bracing up of the people,
and Governor Campbell is now re-
garded quite as favorably iu the pools
as the Little Major" who was
prime favorite at odds ten days ago
The democrats are now bringing some
of their strongest and ablest speakers
into the state, and from now until the
close of the contest the republicans
will be forced to fight every inch of
ground for the right OF way.
Chairman Neal, together with the
rest of the state campaign committee,
is giving the closest attention to all
the minor details of the work, and it is
the small matters and the quiet vote
that will figure largely in the summing
up of the result on the night of the
election.
Commencing October 6, Congress-
man Springer. of Illinois. will devote
nearly all of his time to the Ohio cam
paign until the election.

BRUSSELS, Sept. 3O.-Gen. Boulanger
committed suicide to-day by the grave
of Madame De Bonnemain, who died
recently in this city. Madame De Bon
nemain has been known as the mistress
of the dead general. She accompanied
him to England after his flight from
France. The general had been gloomy
and nervous recently, but the tragedy
was wholly unexpected. This morning
he drove, as usual, 10 the cemetery with
his niece and secretary. Leaving them
outside, he entered and after standing
some time at the tomb he shot himself.
Some workmen who heard the shot
summoned the keeper, who recognized
the corpse, and Informed the generals
niece, who was so overcome that she
tainted. The body was taken in the
carriage to police headquarters and
then to the residence OF the general.
The French minister was notified and
telephoned the news to Paris. a large
crowd quickly surrounded the house
where the body lay. One of the men
working in the cemetery says the gen.
eral was pale and sad as he entered, but
his manner did not attract attention.
The men were hidden from the generals
view where he stood. After about
three quarters of an hour they heard a
pistol shot and rushed to the spot where
they found the general dead with the
revolver in his hand.

SERIOUS BUSINESS FOR CHILE.
4 Military Guard Placed Around the
United States Legation

New YORK, Sept. 2S.--The Herald s
Valparaiso special this morning says
news Of serious import reached here
from Santiago yesterday. It is to the
effect that the leaders of the Junta have
for the last few days adopted course
which has had the result of harassing
Minister Egan. The Junta has been
trying for some time to induce Mr..
Egan to give up all those who have
sought refuge in the United States
legation. The Junta has gone even
further than this. 1t has put forth the
claim that it has the right to arrest any
one, no matter of what nationality,
who may be found on thestreet or any
where else outside of the walls of the
legation. In keeping with its claim, q
number OF foreigners have been placed
under arrest. Among them are three
Americans. The matter went so far
that every person having occasion to
visit the legation was ordered to obtain
permits which allowed them to 60 to
the place. TO enforce this rule force
Of police was put on guard outside the
legation. This lasted until last Friday,
Wnen Minister Egan entered most
vigorous protest to the whole proceed
ing. His manner was so earnest that
the police were withdrawn. It Is said
that he referred the whole matter to
the authorities at Washington.
y HASTILY CALLED CABINET COUNCIL.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Diplomatic
complications have arisen between the
United States and Chile-how serious
cannot now be stated, but sufficiently
grave to cause hurriedly called consul
tation at the executive mansion this
morning between the President and his
chief advisers in the State and Navy
Departments. The consultation lasted
until after II o'clock, Secretary Tracy
remaining with the President until
l o'clock. Acting Secretary Wharton
also had official papers. He said, in
answer to a question as to whether
matters had assumed a serious phase
in Chile, that he could not say anything
on the subject.
In official circles the news from Chile

around the house Of the American MIN
lister, that entrance could only be ob-
tanned to it by passport furnished By
the anita, and that American citizens
were being arrested on the streets of
Valparaiso, was considered serious bus
mess, and while 10 official confirmation
of the news can be obtained, it is gen.
orally credited. 1t is known that as
far back as last Friday a long cipher
cablegram was received at the Navy
from Capt. Schley, in COM
manG of the United States steamer Bal
timore, in Chilean waters. A copy Of
this was sent to the State Department.
Since then cablegrams between the
State and Navy Departments have been
passing with increased rapidity, but the
contents OF none of these communica-
tions have been furnished the public.

though the officer said he had seen them on the
streets for three years. The mother promised
not to take the child out again if the court
would let her go this time. The husband was
deeply affected by the remarks of the court and
he cried like child. The court doubted
whether the woman could be held ON the
charge, but the husband was warned that il
