A Rumpus In the Illinois Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May Am extraordi-
nary scene of wild confusion and excite
ment was witnessed in the lower house of
the general assembly yesterday when the
Worlds fair bill which, as passed by the
senate, appropriated sl.00O,0O0 for the
Illinois exhibit was voted upon. Efforts
to reduce the appropriation to 500, 900 or
5000 600 were successfully defeated, but en-
a motion fixing the amount at $3.50, 900 it
was apparent the vote would be tie
Then Speaker Crafts Democrat} voted fer
the amendment and ignoring Republican
member who wished to change his vote,
hurriedly announced the vote close. Then
the house became a bedlam OF shrieking,
blaspheming and hurrahing men. Crafts
cody declared the s150,000 amendment
adopted in the face of terrific storm OF
protest. The speaker would only listen to
a motion to adjourn and calmly declared it
carried. The members Were now yelling
and running about like wild men. Half q
dozen made rush for the speaker to drag
him from his chair, but were forcibly held
back by his friends. 1t is expected another
outbreak will take place to day when an
attempt will be made to reconsider the
vote.

Good Crons for Wood River.

BELLEVUE, Idaho, June 4. Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. THE cold weather
which has continued tor some two weeks
over this section of the state, has been
very beneficial to the farmers in Camas
Prairie, Spring Greek and Little and Big
Wood River valleys, where the grasshop-
per pests Matched out so thick few weeks
ago and bid fair to annihilate the agricultu-
raj industry of the country. For the past
two years these pests have virtually eaten
all the crops and many ranchers became
discouraged and left A throng of hoppers
had just nicely emerged from the eggs
v hen the cold, wet weather came On and
how reports are coming in from every di-
rsction that they are nearly all dead and
what few are left alive, have been retarded
in growth, so that crops have gotten a
splendid start and cannot be damaged to
any alarming extent. The news is very
encouraging 10 the Wood river farmers,
who are most directly affected and the
prospects are good now for a very prosper
GUS season with farmers.

A GILLIAN DICTATOR.
Balmaceda is Made Absolute
Ruler.
He is Empowered to Arrest and Transport
Persons at Will; Procure Money; In
crease the Army and Navy, Etc.

WASHINGTON. May 4.--South American
mails received by the bureau of American
republics contain interesting details of the
Gillian civil war. The new Gillian con-
gress convened by Balmaceda has placed
absolute power in his hands. 1t has author
Zed him, pending the paciication of the
country" to arres. and transport persons
at will; to augment the land and sea forces /;
to expend the public revenues without re-
gard to estimates; to procure money by
pledging the credit of the state, rendering
account to congress, and to suspend the
right of meeting and liberty of the press.
In pursuance OF these powers DEGREES are
published in the DidriO Official releasing
four prominent citizens suspected of sym
patty with the congressional revolutionsts
from Imprisonment in Santiago prison, on
their depositing $4,000 each in Val :
psraiso national banks to the order of
the secretary of the interior, conditioned
on their not taking part in the reyolu ton.
They are further required TO reside IN Eu-
rope and not TO return to Chilli without the
special permission of the government Ten
or twelve other citizens also were released
from Imprisonment on similar conditions,
their bonds ranging from s., 600 up TO $50,
600, but with permission to remain within
take part in politics.
The Almirante Lynch and the Condell,
the two torpedo boats which surprised and
sunk the insurgent iron-clad, Blanco En-
calada, but which appear to have been
less successful in subsequent opera
tons, while lying in Valparaiso har-
Dor, are guarded by two field
pieces and metrailleuses stationed on
Custom House mole to secure
them against treachery from within or
without. United States Minister Egan and
all the members of the diplomatic corps at
tended the opening of Balmaceda's congress
gress except German and Italian ministers.
The British, French, German and Italian
governments, it is understood, have pro-
tested against the closing to commerce of
ports now held by the insurgents. Repre-
sentatives Of the insurrectionary party
claim these ports produce revenue of
So, 600, 600 and that there are 10000 for
eigners in the provinces which the insur-
rectionists control. Famine prices were
said to be prevailing at Iquique. Meat was
selling at 30 cents pound, potatoes at $50

A Report on Bardsley's accounts.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-The report of
the expert accountants who have been in
vestigating the accounts of ex- City Treas
urer Bardsley, were transmitted to the
city council this afternoon by Mayor Stu
art. The report is a voluminous one and
gives in detail Bardsley's accounts with
various banks. The report shows that on
the 2lst of May, according to the books of
the city treasurer's Office, there was on
hand S32, 81, 30S belonging to the city. OF
this amount the books of the city treasurer
show there was on deposit in the Keystone
bank 81, 437 900. This sum is claimed by
Receiver Hardley and Bank Examiner
Drew to be wrong, and that the banks
books show the actual deposit TO have been
$685., 569. Bardsley had been carrying as
cash in the city treasury 1896, 043 of worth
less checks drawn on the keystone bank.
In some way not yet definitely known,
he raised the amount in cash and substi-
tlted it for the checks. He then went to
Bank Examiner Drew and asked that this
amount be charged to his account as city
treasurer, in the keystone bank and cred
tied to his personal account This Drew
refused to do. The only specific evidence
of any criminal act of Bardsley with the
city money is the misrepresentation of
S39. $40, for which he was indicted. The
examination is still going on

The Excitement at Iauiaue

| lSpecialto THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch I
New YORK, June A Herald special
from Iquique, Chill, says the excitement
and rejoicing recently caused there by the
news that the United States cruiser Char
lesion had arrived at Callao, Peru, without
having so much as caught sight of the in
surgent transport Itata, were as nothing
compared to the sensation and enthusiasm
created when word was received that the
Itata had arrived at Tocopilla. Immediately
upon hearing this welcome intelligence the
insurgent authorities sent back orders to
the commander of the Itsta to lose no time
in coming on to this port 1t is therefore
believed the Itata will arrive here to-day,
when ovation awaits her, her captain and
her crew.
| The pursuit of the transport by the
cruiser Charleston has been naturally fol-
lowed with the keenest interest by the in
| hsbitants Of this town.
The Itata's commander was very brief
We shall have to await her arrival here to
learn the details of her famous run from
San Diego. 1 am informed, however, the
commander Of the Itata reports that he did
not see any trace of his pursuer. II is gen.
orally believed here the Itata made trans
fer Of her arms and ammunition to the
Esmeralda off the Mexican coast. 1t is not
| thought likely, however, that the insurgents
would order the Itata here if she had the
arms and ammunition still on board. 1t
may be she has already discharged her
| cargo at TOc0pillR. AT any rate she has
got rid of it in some way by transfer to the
Esmeralda or by landing 1t on the Chill
coast. 1t may be her being ordered here is
in accordance with the report already sent
out that the insurgents intend to turn her
over to the United States government il
order that the question of a violation of the
neutrality laws may be fully tested in the
| federal courts OF our country. Whatever
action is taken the skill OF the Itata's COM
mander in reaching here in safety despite
the great efforts put forth by the United
States government to recapture her on the
high seas, is the subject of praise on every
| hand.
| TocopiIla is a little over one hundred
miles south ofIquiaue and is in the north
western part of the province of Atacama.
1t is just the spot for the wideawake cap
| tain of the Itata TO run his vessel to. Its
nearness to Cobila would enable him to
reach an important railroad center if nee
cessary, while in the small port of TOGO
piila no one would expect to find the Itata.
it would seem the Itata's commander was
fully apprised from some source, doubtless
the Esmeralda, as already reported, that a
sharp chase after the Itata was being main
taines, and that it was best to make for
some small port in insurgent territory and
TO steer clear of Iquique, where the United
States cruisers were collecting. Now that
his SuperiorS have ordered him to return,
all responsibility is taken Off his shoulders.
1t is not he who surrenders his ship, if it is
surrendered, but the insurgeni authorities.

CUMMINGS TROUBLE.
His Brother Says He Has st
VituS' Dance
And He Invariably Toys with the Chips when
Playing Cards-More Fun in the
Baccarrat Trial.

BALTIMORE, June 4.-Alastar Peurose
Gordon CUMMING, brother of Sir William,
has lived To- the past twelve years in
Carroll county about forty miles from Bal
timore. He has received several letters
from Sir William, in which the lieutenant
colonel Of TIE Scotty's guard declares
his innocencc of the alleged baccarat
cheating, ana says he, Sir William,
will fight tie matter to the bitter end.
MIR. Gordon Cumming, referring to his
brother'a al eyed mode of play, says Sir
William hiss since his early youth
been affected with a slight touch of
St Vitus' dance, inherited from his
mother, which caused Sir William to
exhibit nervousness of hands. When
playing at cSrds Sir William would invari-
ably toy VITA the chips. He thinks those
who accuse lis brother Of Cheating thus
have deceived themselves. He speaks of
theWiisons IS extremely common people and
OF Berekely Lovett as a lead" Concern
ing the signing of the famous contract by
Sir William, his brother says 1t was done
solely that tssere would be no expose of the
Prince of Wfsles' exorbitant gam bling.

Following this is Sir Charles Topper
report with regard to his doings at Wash
ington when accompanied by Sir John
Thompson and MIR. Foster. 1t appears
that Sir Julian's telegram about Mr.
Blaine's desire to postpone the conference
did not reach Sir Charles in time and he
had no intimation of it until the delegates
reached Washington. Mr.. Blaine on meet
ing them expressed great regret at their
failure 70 receive the message. He said
the President was extremely anxious to be
In Washington during the negotiations and
requested that they be deferred until
q later date as he had made arrange
ments, which could not be changed
for an immediate visit to the west
and Blaine also mentioned that the Prssl-
dent said us there would be no meeting OF
the Senate before December, no serious
Inconvenience, he trusted, would arise
from the postponement The date was
later fixed for October IL next. In conciu-
sion, Sir Charles says: 81 may add after
carefully thinking over all that has oc-
Cured, l consider there is good reason to
hope fair arrangements may be made with
the government of the United States IN
relation to the important question contained
in Lord Stanley's dispatch TO Lord Knuts-
ford OF the 18th of December, 1890"

Foster on National Finances.

NEW YORK, June An company with
Murat Halstead, Secretary Foster this
evening visited the Union League club in
Brooklyn. AT subsequent reception he
spoke in an informal way. He said, in
part: ''Our Democratic friends have had a
good deal to say Of late about the billion
dollar Congress. Every move we make our
Democratic friends seem to think indicates
poverty in the treasury department Re-
Gently L thought II wise and prudent to
propose an extension of the AZ bonds.
The treasury department Is abundantly
able TO pay these bonds when they mature.
In view of the fact that SCI. 100000 in gold
has been exported within short period of
time deemed it unwise to do anything Just
now to decrease the value of currency in
national banks. My prediction to-day Is
that these bonds may be extended, and at
the rate of = per cent interest will bear
premium, condition of credit that exists
nowhere in the world besides"

THE STEAMER ITATA
Is Surrendered to Admiral Nc
Cam at 1quique.
SECRETARY TRACY TELLS HOW
1t All Happened-Ihe Insurgent Authorities
From the First Disapproved Of the
Vessels Unlawful Escape.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The navy depart
ment received official information o-night
of the peaceful surrender of the Chilian in
surgent italia at Iquique. The information
was contained in dispatch from Admiral
Mccain. The italia arrived from TOGO
pllla last night and was placed at the dis
position of Admiral Mccain this morning.
She had on board, the dispatch says, 5000
rifles; also the ammunition taken from
the schooner Robert and Minnie,
off the port of Sar Diego. She
had no other munitions of war
than those belonging to the ship, and had
transferred nothing to the Esmeralda with
whom she comm Iuicated off Acapulco,
Mex. Admiral Mccain says the cruiser
Charleston arrived AZ I1uique to-day and
the Pensacola was expected before night.
The Itata will now be sent back to San
Diego. probably under convoy of cruiser.
She Will be delivered to the United States
court officials at San Diego and proceed
lngs against her will be resumed.
Secretary Tracy gave an Associated
Press reporter the chain of circumstances
that led up TO the peaceful surrender to the
United States of the Iuata to day. The
secretary says that the desire for the sur
render came from the leaders OF the insur-
gent party at Iquique shortly after the
vessel illegally escaped from the Gus
tody OF the marshal at San Diego. The
government was informed by these
leaders that they disapproved of the action
of the officers OF the vessel and made offers
through Admiral McCaun to peacefully
surrender her to the United States as soon
as she arrived in Gillian waters. These
offers were communicated to the depart
ment at Washington and In due time ac-
cepted by this government without, how
ever, implying any recognition on the
part of the United States of the
insurgents as belligerents. As soon as the
offer was accepted telegram authorizing
Remy, of the Charleston, but the steamer
had already sailed when the telegram
reached Acapulco. Secretary Tracy said
the ltata would be sent up TO San Diego.

The Baccarat Case.

IloNDoN, June 4.-The interest taken in
the baccarat scandal trial is undated. The
usual crowd of fashionable people was
present when court opened this morning
on the fourth day of the case. Arthzr
Stanley Wilson was the first witness His
cross examination was continued. e com
menced with a long and not very interest
ing discussion as to the position of the
tables used in playing baccara.. In the
cross examination the FACT wal elected
that the counters used in the baccarat
games at Tranby Croft were the property
of the Prince of Wales and were a set car
Red about by him when visiting country
houses.
Berkeley Leveut one of the defendants
in the case, was the next witness. Lieu
tenant Levett was pale and very nervous.
The lieutenant's testimony, in substance,
confirmed that of young Mr.. Wilson in re-
gard to what teok place at Tranby Croft on
September aad 9 and 10. The lieutenant
told of his visit to the room of Cumming
and of the latter's request whether ne LEV

he saw. To this the lieutenant replied. al
would say l was mistaken for your SAKE
and the sake of the regiment, but 1 know
one man who would not do so and that is
Berkeley Green"
The cross-examination of Lieutenant
I,eyett by Clarke did not result in develop
Ing any important points, and utterly
failed to shake the lieutenants testimony.
1 Tnere was a decided sensation in court
when. during the leutenanr's -cross-ex-
animation, Clarke asked q question IN re-
gard to the liquid refreshments which were
partaken of during the bacarrat playing at
Tranby Croft, and it had apparently
reached such dangerous ground that the
lord chief justice felt himself compelled to

NO FOREIGN BOSSES
Are Wanted By the American
Catholics.
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND'S VIEWS
The Impotence of the German and Austrian
Ambassadors to the Vatican In Meddl.
Ing In the Matter Denounced

! 81. PAUL, June 4.-Since the publication
OF MS interview of few DAYS ago regard
ing Conensly's Lucerne memorial, Arch
bishop Ireland has mad many kilograms and
letters of endorsement Of his views. To-
day in an interview with an Associated
Press correspondent, he talked further on
the subject. He says: ''As the details of
the plot are unfolded, the indignation of
Americans, Catholic or Protestant, cannot
but grow in intensity. The whole proceed
ing is an insult to American nationalisrl,
/ and reveals tbs fact that certain Euro
peans imagine America to be sort of
African Congo without any autonomy of its
own, incapable of life without the constant
application OF European galvanic batteries.
Catholics are mortified that their religion
is made the occasion and pretense Of
this insolent foreign Intermeddling.
Strange news, indeed. for American ears
to near, that the Austrian and Prussian
ambassadors in Rome have been instructed
oy their home government to bring to bear
upon the vatican their influence in aid Of
Herr Cohlensy's plan of campaign.
The contagion spreads to an extent that
compels smile OF amusement in the midst
or our anger. We find Monsieur Mercier,
minister OF the province of Quebec, a COL
ony OF England, running to the Vatican and
praying IN the name of his little constitu-
ency that Canadian bishop be named for
the see or OgGeuSburg, in the state of New
York. We can easily picture further ex-
tension OF this foreign ambition to rule
Catholic affairs in America and in a few
years the ecclesiastical map of the country
would show the foreigners of every foreign
principality whose emigrants chose to
touch our shores. This attack of foreign
ism upon the church in America, however,
is killed from its own aucacity. So long
as IL worked stealthily by secret embassies
and back-door entrances, it was dangerous
and was doing harm. 1t has
now entered into open combat
favorable to the church and country. I
have seen the official denial of the repre-
sentative of the Deuts ch-Amerikamischer
Priester Verein, or German Clerical So
ciety Of America, disclaImjnC all knowl-
edSe of the Cohensly men ial. Whas ha
Will not OeIy Is that COhensly's memorial
is nearly word for word the document
which German priests of st. Louis, found
ersi Of the verein, sent 10 Rome in 1856.
Nor will he deny that few days ago the
AmsrikG, paper which IS fed ON verein
food, declared openly that it will cease
lessly work for Cohensl US program. What
ever of the letter, the spirit of the
Cohensiy movement thrives in the halls Of
the verein, and the verein is an exotic to
which American air is most uncongenial."

Famine in Russian Provinces.

LONDON, June THE Telegraph's ST.
Petersburg correspondent gives pitiable
account of the restitution prevailing in the
districts of Kazan, Simbirsk, Samara, Mi
ni-Novgorod and Penza- The correspond
emit says hundreds of persons have died
hungry in the past five weeks. The peas
ants in Simbirsk and Samara districts re-
VOTED and attacked the corn magazines. A
number of conflicts occurred between the
peasants and troops and several persons
were killed and many injured. Gloomy
harvest prospects increase the horror OF the
situation. The minister of the interior has
forbidden any reference to the famine by
newspapers.
The Standards Buenos Ayres correspond
ent says the English banks there have ex-

crisis. Excitement is intense and it is
