cards, shutting from the underside
of the pack Of cards, misplacing the
cut, retaining most of the important
cards in his sleeves, pockets, and
about his person generally, and either
obtaining by such his frauds the most
important hands, and thus beating his
adversary upon actual showing, or
otherwise frightening the timid with
just no hand at al, upon the SUPPOSE
titious ground that if he had mol,
stolen his hand it was for lack Of Up.
portu"ity, and so the States Attorney
complains that such, the acts Of said
Ferris, are in manifest derogstion Of
all fair playing, in subversion Of the
long>established ri qhts and practice OF

rience of the States Attorney, and
contrary to the form. force and effect
OF the @seame laws in such case made

BALMACEDA's CRUELTIEs.

An Envoy of the Chilisn Congressional Par
ty Says There Has Been No Exaggeration.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Mr. Varas, one of
the envOys of the Chilian congressional
party, relterates in the strongest terms his
previous statements as to the eruelties
practiced, with the knowledge of Balfna-
ceda, upon well-known citizens who were
suspected of sympsthizing with the. con-
gressional party. Mr. Varas said that he
had personal knowledge of many of these
oruelties, and that the facts as stated in
the press of the United States are well
known throughout Chilli. Nearly all of the
wives ana families of the officers who serve
in the congressional army. said Mr.. Varas.
are prosecuted, and are obliged to keep
themselves secreted. As to the recent
capture of the fort of HuascO, Mr.. Varas
said that an attempt was being made by
the BslmaCeda party to beiittle the lnl-
pOrtance of the capture. The fact 49, he
said. that the capture was of great lmpor-
tance and that had it been possible Balma-
ceda's army would have held it at all haz-
ards. Operating from Huasco the con-
gressiOnal army will not only be able to
prevent the opposing forces from making q
movement on Caldera. as was contemplated,
but it is now In u position TO hold the val
ley of HuascO. which is one of the most fer
tile In that section of the country, and
from which the congressional army can
draw abundant supplies of provisions and
forage. At the same time it Is in a much
better position from which to move against
Balmacedas army further south.

NEW YORK, July 6-The AtlAs-line steam
er Alvena. which arrived here from Jeremie
and other West India ports brings some in
teresting Haytian news The Alvena left
Jeremie OH June 20 and there were then
Indications that the black republic would
soon be the scene of another bloody rebel
lion. Jeremie is in the southern part of
Hayti. where HippOlyte possessed his
strongest support in wrestling the presi-
dency from Legitime. At present, however.
that portion of the island is bitterly op-
posed TO Hippolyte. and there are loud
utterances against his rule So strong is
the opposition to the President that All
outbreak is apt to occur at any moment.
Many of the residents are so fearful of the
impending InsurrectiOn that they are leav-
ing in all haste. The Alvena carried a num-
Der of residents of JerenIe to Kingston,
Jamaica. and other fugitlves are leaving

Seagraves, of the Alvena. SAID that an old
resident of Jeremie who formerly occupied
an important position under the govern
ment told him the present government Will
not last long. The people are so constituted
that it Is almost impossible for any form of
government TO last long. An old Hay tian
policeman named May brant is secretly TO-
menting rebellion. and is looked upon as

HOW INFLUENZA SPREADS.

BY Personal Contact with Affected Persons,
and Not through the Atmosphere.
LONDON. July 6-The governments re-
port upon the recent influenza epidemic,
the origin of that disease and kindred mat
ters. has been presented to Parliament.
The report was prepared by DR.. Parsons.
and contains amass of interesting evidence.
but il does not solve the problem as to the
origin of influenza, nor does it provide any
supervention of the disease. On the other
hand, the report dispels the common idea
that influenza is spread by atmospheric
conditions. and proves that it is prOpagated
by personal contact. This is shown by the
fact that isolated persons. such as persons
confined in prison. light-housekeepersa and
others enjoy immunity from the disease,
while the greatest mortality from it's effects
has been found in large communities In
this connection. it is q curious fact that
the general postoffice heads the list of
large cOmmunitIes.' where the disease
has been most prevalent. The cOmlnunl-
ties represented by railroad stations. ETC..
come next to the general pOstOffice In show
ing themselves spots where intnenza has
played sad havoc. The period of inc9ba-
tion is short. sixteen hours to three days
being held to be sufficient to account for
the simultaneous incidence of a whole COM
munity where only one or two people orig
inally suffered from the Infection. 1t IS
expected that. in accordance with preco-
dent, the disease will appear after two sue
cessiye years of epidemic.

the pieces are once lifted into place OH the
top of the tower.
A particularly interesting part of the
work to be done will be the erection of the
great statue of William Penn. The castings
of the statue are all completed. and the
huge sections, fOrty-seven In number. are
lying around the casting-shop. ready for
immediate use. The figure of Penn will be
thirty-siX feet in height. and its massive
proportions may be understood when it IL
said that it Will weigh nearly thirty tons.
To give an idea of the size of the statue 10
may be mentioned that the head itself 10
feet In diameter and feet long with the
hat on. The nose is Is inches in length, and
the eyes are nine inches long. The hat IS 4
feet In height. and the rim is II feet in cir
cumference. The entire length of one hand
is feet 6 inches. and every ythiDg else Is
in proportion.
The plaster cast of one of the four man.
moth figures To be placed on the dome and
under the statue of William Penn has Just
been completed and may be seen in the
workshop. This is the figure of an Indian
with boy. 1tis twenty two feet in height,
and there is another plaster casting of an
Indian and dog under way. This figure
will be twenty-five feet long also and the
figure of the dog. which will lay as the feet
of the Indian, will be eleven feet i'm length.
Sections of the iron tower are being trans
ported daily from the works TO the court
yard of the City Hall, and as soon as the
scaffOlding now being erected on top of the
stone tower Is completed the work of hoist
ing these massive castings will be begun.
