of the members Of the expedition. The
French government awarded Apatu a
gold medal for rare devotion under criti-
cal circumstances. Apatu belonged TO
HE Bonis tribe.

The Steamship Companies Tired.

Two steamship companies, the Ham
burg-American and the North German
Lloyd, are tired of returning at their
own expense undesirable passengers
from the United States. The directors
have ordered that hereafter whenever
an agent sells a ticket to an undesirable
emigrant he shall pay the undesirable's
return ticket money out of his own
pocket. Anarchists are among those not
allowed by these steamer companies TO
cross on their lines.

A youth in West Ninety-frst street dis
plays an aptitude for business rather re-
markable for one of his years. he visits
stationery stores aud solicits the privilege
of taking home all the second hand paper
covered novels the shopkeeper may have,
for the purpose of covering them with ma

boring stores along Columbus and Am
sterdsm avenues and secures advertise
ments FROM butchers, bankers, grocers,
bellhangers and so on st fifty cents each.
These he places inside the covers, writing
them with pen in bold hand and max
ing them conspicuous by novel arrange
ment of the lines and the oddly OF the
lettering Ee charges the stationer moth

each book on its front cover in attractive
style.

strenuous Efforts to Keep the Affair
from Public knowledge.
Parnen has married the O'Shes, as
our English friends phrase it, using the
definite article when lady is celebrated.
Every precaution was taken TO keep the
marriage strictly private. A special IL
cense was procured, so that no publica-
ton was needed, and the contracting
parties proceeded by carriage TO Stey-
ming, a village near Brighton, and
were there united with only legal wit
nesses present. They were determined
not TO have crowd or make circus
Of it."
Ordinarily no one would care how two
people married. but this happens TO be
the case of Charles Stewart Parnel, erst-
while Irish leader, and Mrs. Katharine
O'Shea, nee Wood, sister of General Sir
Evelyn Wood. and it was the intimacy
of these two which created the split IL
the Irish party and the manifesto of Mr..
Gladstone and the red hot faction fights
IN Tipperary, and no end Of broken
heads in Cork and eisewhere-so these
were long the most talked about folks in
the United Kingdom. and would be yet
if the prince and Sir William Gordon
Cumming had not come to their aid with
the baccarat scandal.
Miss Wood, born in 1850, married Cap
tain O'Shea at the age of seventeen, and
at the age Of forty-one she is still re-
markably lovely. with singularly clear
skin, good figure and that silky golden
hair which artists call Titan red. Cap
tain O'Shea, who had resigned his COM
mission in the British army to engage in
business, met Mr.. Parnell in 1880 and
was al once attracted To his sunnOrt.

THE GILLIAN WAR,
What Mr. Julio Foster Says Of the Rumors
Battle at valparaiso.

What ME-. Julio Foster Says Of the Rumored
Battle at Valparaiso.
The reported battle between the congress
sional forces and Balmaceda's troops near Vel
paraiso has excited considerable interest here.
though nothing definite is known and no off,
cial information concerning the reported battle
has been received by the government.
A STAR reporter had talk this morning with
Julio Foster, the secretary of the congress
sional envoy at Washington. Mr.. Foster said
that he had no later information, but that he
had reasons to believe that the special to the
New York Herald from Valparaiso WAS correct,
and he believed that battle before Balmaceda's 8
stronghold had been fought. sat the last report"
he said. 1--WE had been successful up to u GER
tain point and nothing further is yet known.
We were in front of the strong fort, Callao
where We were exposed to their heavy guns
of it was over and 1 am confident Of o complete
victory. II we have captured Vina
del Marr and Fort Callao it is the
end Of Balmaceda's power. Balmaceda
is present himself to keep down insurrection in
his own troops. Many Of them are In sympa-
thy with u.s. Valparaiso is the city Of our
friends; we own it. There would be demon
stration from that quarter, but for the fact that
the citizens have no means Of arming them
selves. They cannot fight with cobble stones" :"
fail to capture Fort Callaol'
''Then the war will continue. We will fight
until Balmaceda has been vanquishcd. A de-
feat for Balmaceda now will end him; for us
defeat means merely o prolongation Of the
struggle"
INDIGNANT At THEIR TREATMENT.
Mr.. Foster spoke most Indignantly Of the
manner in which the congressional party had
been treated by the United States. We made .
mistake in ever coming to the United States
for recognition. Throughout this struggle they
have sided with the tyrant against the people
and constitutional government. suppose their
10 some politics in it, but we never thought that
. republican government with the love of free
institutions the United States is supposed 70
feel would aid tyrant in an attempt
to destroy the constitution of . free
people. As an envoy we might have
gone to Europe and found friends. Here
were have been refused the least recognition.
We have not been treated with ordinary polite
ness. The officials have refused to speak with
us. Oh, I cannot talk about it. I suppose
when Balmaceda il dead and the constitutional
government has been restored the United States
will recognize US"
