CONSISTENCY A JEWEL RARE.

There is just one motto which APP
peared in its own editorial columns, that
our evening contemporary can be de-
pended upon to observe. 1t is this {:
Consistency is a jewel far too rare to ex-
pect it to be adhered to by a newspaper" ="
That evening contemporary one month
ago advocated proposition to entrust
the management of publicly owned
lighting plants to city officials, and to-
day it condemns those officials as un-
worthy of respect.

THE COMING OF AUTUMN.

When the moon grows bright and the air
grows cold,
And the landscape melts into soft, clear
grays.
When the burr of the chestnut turns to gold
Then, is the end of the country days.
When the dew is touched with n silver frost.
And the birds are gone from the leafless
sprays
When the seaside charmer has charmed-and
lost
Then, is the end of the country days.
When the lamp-light shines through the half
drawn shade,
And the mind reverts 10 the old, sweet ways
When we hand our card to the white-capped
maid,
Then, is the end of the country days.

Secrets Are Being DlvulGed by Clergy
men in the Pittsburg Synod.
PrrTsBURG, June 5.-There was very
large audience In attendance at the
morning session of the Reformed Pres
byterian Synod.
Rev, o. B. Milligan, one of the sus-
pended ministers, was the first speaker.
He declined to speak from the platform,
saying that by so doing he would be
guilty of contempt, as the Pittsburg
Presbytery had forbidden him to do so.
He would not speak from a Reformed
Presbyterian pulpit until he could do so
as a free man.
This declaration created a sensation,
and tine speaker had not proceeded far in
his address until cries came from all
parts of the church: "Take the plat
forml" "Take the platforml"
After asking that the court be held re-
sponsible or his action, Mr.. AIilligan con
tinued hi, address from the pulpit. His
speech attracted close attention, as did
the address of Rev. j. r. j. Milligan, who
followed him. The speeches occupied the
time of the morning session.

dresses are diyulging secrets, which place

TERRIFIC FIGHT -!
1T LASTED ONE HOUR AND 100
MEN WE'RE KILLED.
DARING WORK BY INSURGENTS,
Their Cruiser Attacks the Chilian
Government Torpedo Boats.
Crept Into the Harbor of
Valparaiso After Dark.
BIZ Nattona, Press Association.


SAN Francisco, June 5.-News of the
fiercest sea fight that has taken
place during the whole of the Chilian
war has just been received here. 1t took
place in the harbor of Valparaiso be-
tween the insurgent cruiser Magallaues
land the government torpedo boats Alden,
Condell and Lynch four days after the
encounter between the same vessels in
Channel Bay, the news of which was re-
cei, ed in New York on Monday last.
After the latter battle the Magallanes
decided to attack the government ships
and, if possible destroy them before they
could again be fitted for sea, Favored
by darkness the Magallanes crept into
the harbor of Valparaiso and began the
attack by ranging close alongside the al
ready crippled Alden and firing broad
side into her that did terrible execution.
Nearly half Of the torpedo boats crew
we're either killed or wounded, and the
Vessel was completely riddled.
The Forts Alarmed.
An alarm was sounded in the forts,
but as the vessels lay so close together
the gunners In the forts dared not fire,
for fear of hitting their own vessels.
Getting clear Of the Alden, the Magal-
lanes at once attacked the Lynch, but her
fire was returned with interest The
smokestack of the Lynch was blown
away and boat containing ten men,
who had been sent to try to attack the
rebel vessel with q torpedo boat, was
blown out of the water,
Forty of the Crew Killed.
The Condell had steamed to the out
side of the Magallanes, thus getting the
latter between the two fires. The Magal-
lanes was shot through and through.
Over 40 of her crew were lying dead on
her decks, but her guns were untouched,
and her captain made up his mind to try
to better his condition.
Suddenly the rebel vessel began tC
move astern and ceased firing. The night
being SO dark the government steamers
were unknowingly firing into each other
and the Condell began to fill rapidly
The trick was not discovered until the
Magallanes had turned and steamina
across the stern Of Condell poured in
a broadside that nearly demolished the
latter, dismounting every gun and kill
ing IA and wounding six more Of th6
crew.
