Government Chilean Cruisers Surrender to
the Congressionalists- Latest In
telligence From the Center of the South
American Trouble.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-[Specidl] 1.-The
Herald this morning has the following cable
from Valparaiso: The torpedo Almirante
Condell and the armed transport Imper-
iale, the last armed forces loyal
to the late President Balmaceda were for
mally surrendered to the Chilean Minister
here to-day, and word was Immediately sent
to the Junta de Gobierno, at Santiago,
that the two vessels were at their disposal.
The transfer was made to-day, and the min
lister cabled to the Junta for instructions as
to what should be done with the vessels.
A dispatch from Valparaiso says: The
report that the late President Balmaceda
had been killed by one of the men who are
crossing the mountains with him ap-
pears to be unfounded and no such
report has been heard here, and
nothing is known Of the fugitive ex-
President movements since he left Los
Andes. Tho probabilities are very strong
against the story being true, for if Balmac-
eda had been killed it is long odds that the
members of the Junta would have heard of
it.
The question of the disposition of the
refugees has been definitely settled, and to-
morrow the United States steamer Baiti-
more and n German man-of-war will leave
for Peru with all the refugees aboard.

M'KINLEY'S OVATION.
Thousands Flock to Hear the Tariff
Champion at Urbana.
A MAJORITY OF THEM FARMERS.
They Seize the Occasion to Disproye Some
Third Party Claims
A MEMORABLE DAY FOR THE OLD TOWN
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH !

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATcH.l
URBANA, o., Sept. 3.-This has
been gala day in Urbana. All the morn
ing people were arriving in the city for the
purpose of seeing and hearing the great cham
pion of America and American industries,
and the man they think will be the next
Governor of Ohio, Major Mckinley. The
city was gaily decorated, flags and bunting
floating everywhere, while tin-American
tin-was displayed in badges, in picture
frames, in canes and in decorations on busi-
ness blocks and private houses. Clubs came
in body, while farmers came in delega-
tions. -
The Pefferites claim this as one of the
counties in which they will make great in
roads on the Republican strength, but, un-
less all signs fail, they are most wofully
mistaken. 1t did not look like it to-day,
when most of the members of the various
clubs were farmers, and vast maj jority of
the large crowd were agrieultur1sts. y The
ticket nominated by the Pefferites last June
does not contain the names any Republicans,
and is composed principally of agents for
manufactures and not farmers.
Every train dropped a great number of
people at the station to-day, while a solid
stream of vehicles poured their loads of
people into the city throughout the morn
ing hours. The Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference also adjourned and heard the great
orator. The people of Champaign county did
1ndeed turn out to do the Republican
standard bearer great honor. All were de-
lighted with the manner in which Major
Mckinley handled both the tariff and the
silver issues. All wondered that he could
make the subject 30 plain.
The meeting was held on the fair gronnd,
the speakers platform having been built in
front OF the grand stand. The grand stand
has q seating capacity OF 1000, and it was
filled. Chairs for hundred or more distin-
gufshed people were on the stage, while all
around was crowded with those standing.
When the Major appeared there was a great
storm of eheers-a perfect ovation.
The meeting has aroused the Republicans
of Champaign county to a greater degree of
usefulness and hns opened the eyes of many
Democrats to the fallacies of their party
platform. The crowd would doubtless have
been larger had not the Clark county fhir
been in progress and for the fact that Major
Mckinley Is billed for speeches in all the
county seats or larger towns near by.
The other State candidates present were
General A. L. Harris. for Lieutenant Gov
ernor; Captain W. T: Cope, for Treasurer;
Hon. Frederick B. McNeal, for Dairy and
Food Commissioner. Hon. d. W. Rawlings,
candidate for State Senator from this dis
trict, was also present. Chairman Hahn ac-
companied Majo Mckinley.

Camping Under Difficulties.

CAMP MoNoNeAHELA, 'GYPsEY GROVE, HAIR
R1soN COUNTY, W. Va, Sept. 3-[Speciol /
The entire National Guard of this State,
comprising 15 companies, are now present
for duty at their annual encampment here.
As a result of the lax discipline last night
there was a great deal of merrymaking
among the men, which reached such pro-
portions that an armed guard was sent
among Them, enforcing some kind of order.
This morning, however, the screws were
put on with the firing of the 5 o'clock gun
and reville call. This being the first regular
complete camp of the entire Guard of the
State, and officers and men being alike in
experienced in camping rules, there has
been great deal of laundering. There was
a woeful lack of provisions. Two companies
last night raised a doleful howl, as they got
no supper ut all, and their breakfast to-day
was delayed until 10 o'clock this morning.
These matters are being regulated now.
however. The line of guard mount was
rather rocky, but, as most of the men had
not slept for 4S.hours, nor eaten for "a. itswas
considered u very creditable showing. Dur
ing the rest of the day several cavalry and
battalion drills were gone through.

Results on the Sheepshead Bay Track-General Sport
ing News Of the Day.

There is certainly Jonah dogging the
track of the Brooklyn team. Their presence
here this season has almost on all occasions
been the signal for very bad weather, and
yesterday was no exception. As soon as
John Ward and his men arrived in the city
rain clouds began to gather, and before the
team reached the grounds good sized
thunder storm was holding sway. As re-
suit, when the game started only about $50
people were in the grounds, as it was gem
orally understood there would be no game.
The rain ceased about o'clock, and with
spopges and sawdust, the grounds were got
ten into something like recognizable con-
dition. But they were wretched. The
contest started at 40 and was stopped at
the end of the first half of the fourth inning,
with the score standing 8 to 4 against the
home PLAYERS.
What the result would have been had
nine innings been played nobody can say,
as both pitchers were being hit hard and
both teams were fielding badly owing TO
bad grounds. Singles by Shugart and Beck
ley and tumble by Ely enabled Shugart to
SCORE. The visitors in their half made four
runs. Collins got his base on balls. Pinck-
ney made safe bunt and Fouty's sacrifice
sent the runner to second and third. They
both scored OH a single by Burns. A short
fly by Ely was caught by Bierbauer, and
the latter threw the ball to Beckley, but
Jake dropped it or Burns would have been
doubled out. After that mistake Griffin made
a double and so did O'Brien, and altogether
four runs were scored, only one being
earned.
In the second inning Reilly was hit by
pitched ball, hut was forced out at second
by COrklill. Baldwin struck out and Bier
bauer got 10 first on tumble by 0'Brien.
Shugart got his base on balls and Miller's
long fly was muffed by Collins, Corkhill and
Bierbauer scoring on the error and Shugart
reaching third. Beckley's single scored
Shugart, making three unearned runs.
In the third inning with Brown out Ely
got his base on balls, second on wild pitch,
third on Griffins sacrifice and home on
o 'Brien's single.
The home team had four hits and three er-
rors and the visitors six hits and three er-
rors. The batteries were: Baldwin and Mil
Ter; Lovett and Daley. Baldwin had one
strike ont and Lovett none.

Re,or. OF IA Master in Partnership.

Attorney Morton Hunter yesterday filed
his report as master in the case of Chris
Friedman against Theodore Boley executor
of Thomas Coates. The suit was brought to
obtain a dissolution of a partnership be-
tween Friedman and Coates, and an ac-
counting of the business. The two went into
the general merchandise business in 1874 in
The firm was not dissolved, nor was there
any accounting of the business. The bill
was filed by Friedman, who claimed there
of dissolution and an accounting While
the case was pending before the master the
matter of dissolution was settled by the
death of Coates. 1t was then agreed to
settle the case by paying Friedman $s05 and
dividing the costs. The master reported the
matter TO court for confirmation.

AFFECTED BY THE RAIN.

Falling or In Attendance at the Exposition.
Due to the weather-Some Exhibits Be
ing gArranged-The General Attendance
Very Good.
The second day of the Exposition was not
as. well attended as might have been ex-
pected had the weather been satisfactory.
The showers that descended in the afternoon
and kept up with but few intermissions all
day and evening were not conducive to a
good attendance, and the people did not
care to go when they knew they had 38 days
more before them. Still, there were good
many there, especially in the evening, when
Cappa's band diseoursed sweet music and
the brilliant electric lights made everything
glitter and show up in its best colors. 1t Is
a largo building, however, and it is neces-
sary to have very large crowd to make 1t
look full or anything like 1t.
All the exhibits are not quite ready yet.
They look well, but there is plenty of fixing
to be done before they will be exactly as
their owners intend them to be. Still, it is
interesting to watch the deft fingers Of the
attendants as they trim and touch up their
exhibits and bring order out of what to the
untaught eye seems to be the veriest chaos.
Especially is this true of the stands devoted
to jewelry, glassware and works of art. The
movement of a statuette, the placing of
picture at a different angle, the arranging of
some lovely goblet, pitcher or bottle Of cut
glass so that 1t will catch the rays of the
electric light, makes q great difference in
the general appearance of q display and 1t
requires an expert to do it effectively. The
furniture exhibits are complete and form an
interesting feature.
The general appearance of the hall as one
enters from the main entrance Is very bril-
liant. Each firm has apparently done its
best to outdo its neighbor and the result is q
display of which Pittsburg must necessarily
be proud.
Since the hour of opening will be o'clock
throughout the continuance of the Exposi-
tion the management has issued. q strict
order that all dusting and sweeping must be
over before that hour, and that all coverings
of exhibits must be removed before the
doors are thrown open to the public The
system that always prevails ut the Exposi-
tion will be maintained this year. The de-
termination is that the comfort Of the pub
lie shall be paramount, and there will be no
neglect of rule that will conduce to that
end.
Mechanical Hall was a striking sight last
night with the many wheels and pulleys,
connected by mighty belts, in full operation.
ALI the trades are being pushed along with
a will, not the least interesting exhibit being
a cigar factory, with q number of girls and
men working away with nimble fingers, and
turning out large quantity of cigars every
hour
The sidewalk is being made smooth and
easy outside the entrance, and every ything is
being done to make the Exposition pleas
ant place to visit

HEADS AS TR0PHIEs.
How the Savages of the Andes Treat Then
Before Hanging Them Up.

How the Savages of the Andes Treat Them
Before Hanging Them Up.
Philadelphia Press.1.
On the high slopes of the Andes dwell
people who make practice of chopping off
the heads of their enemies and preserving
them for ornamental uses. The process
empioyedin in the preparation of these weird
trophies is quite an art in itself, the head
being literally boned, that is to say, de-
prived of the skull. For this purpose the
throat is sliced around with knife, and the
skin is drawn off over the skull, with care
to keep uninjured the mouth, nose, and
other features.
Next, the skin being turned right side
out, it is filled with hot gravel, which
makes it shrink. Fresh heated gravel is
put in at intervals, until the head has
shrunk to quarter, the size of that of a new
born baby. 1t appearance thus transformed
is astonishingly grotesque, and much pleas
ure is derived from hanging 1t by its long
black hair from rafter in the house for the
family to jeer at and abuse now and then.

CoBUMBUs, Sept 3-[SpeciaL l-Hon. W. s.
Cappeller, of Mansfield, probably one of the
most stanch supporters af Governor Fora
ker in'the State for the Senatorship, was in
the city to-day in consultation with General
W. H. Enochs, the Republican nominee for
Congress in the Portsmouth district. When
two such strong Foraker men as these two
get together it is cause for comment and
gossip that something is going on which
will be to the detriment of Senator Sher-
man, and incidentally the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Cappeller was asked: for his
views on the political situation, and summed
them up with the statement that he would
wager 500 that the next United States Sena-
tor from Ohio would be a Republican; 500
that his name would not be Sherman, and
800 that Major Mckinley would have q plu-
ral1ty of 15,00o.
Captain Jake Donaldson, the right hand
man of Senator Sherman, said a few minutes
later that Senator Sherman has majority
of the Republican candidates for the Legis-
lature, and that his nomination is assured.
He counts on the strong counties and dis
tricts which are Republican sure, and in
which there is no chance for Democratic
success. Captain Donaldson thinks Foraker

was followed by the Chairmen of numerous
other delegations. Philadelphia, Berks,
Butler, Schuylkill, Delaware, Lehigh, Lacka-

and he got the bulk of the ballots from
most of the counties. Lancaster, York and
some of the adjoining counties stayed with

unanimous. When the result was an
