THE ITATA SEEN AT SEA,
News of the CHILEAN Transport Brought to
San Francisco.

The steamer Coiima arrived at San Francisco
on Saturday with news of the Charleston and
Itata. On May Is at 1852 am. the Colima
passed the Itata in latitude 17:18 north. longi-
tude 101:l9 west She was flying the Gillian
flag and was steering south by east. At the
time the ltata was about sixty-five miles from
Acapulco. At 500 in the afternoon of the same
day the COlima spoke the Charleston, which
was holding almost the same course az the Itata
The Charleston was then about $50 miles from
Acapulco and therefore only sixty-five miles
behind the Itata. The Charleston slowed down
and signaled the Colima that she wanted to
speak her. When asked il he had seen any
steamers the captain of the Colima said that he
had seen two-masted steamer flying the
Gillian flag about five hours previously. Both
the cruiser and steamer then proceeded on
their way, the Charleston making for AGA
puleo.
'fThe Colima left Acapulco early on the
morning OF May Is" said Purser Wafer.
when the Esmeralda arrived at Acapulco she
saluted the Mexican flag flying over the fort
with twenty-one guns. The salute was not re-
turned. The Gillian admiral of the insurgent
vessel paid an Official visit to the commandant
of the Mexican military forces. but the latter.
acting under instructions from the authorities
at the City Of Mexico, declined to return the
visit. He. however paid an unofficial visit to
the Esmeralda. The Esmeralda steamed out of
Acapulco on the morning of May -, and, from
what hear, returned to Acapulco on the 10th.
During the interval she evidently met the Itata
and spoke her. The Itata had 500 tons of coal,
and was therefore able to proceed on her way
The Esmeralda returned to Acapulco to throw
Capt Remey of the Charleston off the scent
There is no doubt in my mind that the Esmer-
aida spoke the Itata between May - and l6 and
told her she was chased and the Itata went on
her way south. while the Charleston lost day
in coaling at Acapulco. The Itata cannot reach
Iquiqui without coaling at Panama, and the
Charleston can yet overhaul her. The Charles
ton gained three days in an ]. 500 mile run and
can easily make gain of thirty-six hours on a
l.6OO-mie run to Panama. News from Panama
will therefore state that the Itata has been
captured. or else she will not be heard from
until she reaches Iquique."

Ravages at Westminster by Sickness and
Death From the Influenza Epidemic.
Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald.
LONDON, May 23.-The sickness and mortal
ity which have prevailed of late among men,
bers OF parliament are almost unexampled in
the history of the country. What happened in
the time of the BLACK Plague cannot say,
not having been a member of the house of COM
mons at that time, but nothing like the present
state of affairs has been seen in modern times.
Over one-sxth of the total number of men,
bers have been Frustrated by influenza. Some
have died. many more are obliged to give up
all work. The fact is the house has become a
mere pesthole and nearly everybody who put
his head into it almost Immediately at
tackled with the prevailing epidemic.
What can you expect when all the lavatories
and offices open direct into the passages and
lobbies. where We are constantly assembled. the
only means of ventilation being into these
channels. To talk of fumigating such reser-
voir OF sewer gas and villainous odors is absurd.
The whole place ought to be pulled down and a
new house butt with some regard for sanitary
laws If the disease makes further ravages
among us not enough members will be left to
carry on business. Perhaps it would be no
great loss to the country if the house adjourned
forthwith sine die.
SOME OF THE VICTIMS.

received a far heavier blow than the English
public are aware of. Nearly week of fever
consumed his strength and made formidable
inroads even upon his vital powers. Few men
of eighty-two could have survived SO great a
shock. He is still in condition requiring
much care. I doubt whether he will be seen
again in parliament this session.
John Morley is also severely shaken, Just able
to walk a few yards with assistance. the attack
in his case having been very sharp. Everybody
sympathiZes with him in his illness. The lead
ers Of the opposition are sadly reduced i'm num-
bers Harcourt is still holding out, but he has
been seldom near the center of the disease at
Westminster; he prefers the balmy breezes of
the New Forest.
During short visit to Folkestone I met
crowds of invaded members crawling up and
down in the sun. hoping to recover their lost
health. The list OF killed and wounded would
occupy columns OF the Herald The loss of poor
Sir Robert Fowler creates another gap in the
unionist party. He had long been one Of the
thick and thin supporters of every conserva-
tive ministry. He was somewhat eccentric and
was often laughed at, but his sudden death
causes general regret He was one of the pro-
prietors of the Times, now rapidly losing its
old managers and friends. Mr.. Walter himself
Is nearly the last of the band. His SON. Arthur
Walter, makes a most efficient manager and has
greatly improved the paper since John Mac

A DUEL IN JACKSON PARK.
The Code Revived on the Site OF the Comm,
Exposition.

Exposition.
Baron Rudolph Kalnoky de Korospatak, a
nephew of Count Kslnoky Of Vienna, made his
first visit to Chicago about month ago. regis
tering as Rudolph Kalnoky" OF New York.
Baron Kalnoky had been the stanch defender
and passionate admrer Of Queen Natalie Of
Servia during her sometimes embarrassing
visits to the Austrian capital. He had also
been chosen companion in the .revels of the
gay young crown prince, whose suicide shocked
all Europe. That event only drove Baron
Kalnoky to wilder designations Seeking
change in America he accidentally met
an attractive member of light opera
She kept before him the fact that she could
never become his wife. as her heart was already
given to one for whose sake she would shortly
end her stage life. Friday night he became
involved in a quarrel with a southerner, an
admirer of the young lady, though not the
favored suitor. In the parlor. few minutes
after dinner. cry OF rage was heard and a
heavy fall. Baron Kalnoky had knocked his
companion down for speaking disrespectfuly
of the woman he loved. An hour afterward a
friend OF the southerner appeared with re-
spectful note, demanding a meeting. Baron
Kalnoky at once accepted. Details were ar
ranged on Saturday. The baron settled his
BILL left word that if he did not survive all
his belongings at the hotel were to be sent to
the woman for whose honor he had fought,
and quietly retired to bed. At o'clock yester-
day morning he entered waiting carriage and
was immediately joined by his second. At
Jackson Park they found the opposite party.
After some sharp fighting the southerner sue
ceeded in inficting a slight wound id the right
leg of the baron. A little later the baron made
clever lunge, which pricked the skin on the
right shoulder of his adversary. The latter,
however, parried admirably, and at this mo-
ment, to the horror of the seconds, the baron
appeared to slip and literally to fall on the
point of his adversarys sword, which entered
his neck. A stream of blood gushed from the
wound. The seconds at once stopped the COM
bat Baron Kalnoky was assisted to an adjoin-
ing knoll and his wound was hastily dressed.
After ascertaining that the result would not
necessarily be fatal the southerner and his
friend left the field. Every effort to identify
this man has failed. 1t is limited that the
baron's misplay was not a mere accident, but
that, finding himself facing one not his equal
in workmanship. he took that means Of hon
orably ending his life.

Killed in q Fist Fight.

William Peeless and Charles Chapman had
a fist fight near Hammond. Wis, tho other
night in which Peeless was killed. The two
men took this mode Of settling dispute. They
had not fought more than few seconds when
Peeless fell to the ground, dying in fifteen min
utes. Several bystanders attempted to part
them, but not until it was too late. Chapman
escaped as soon as he saw the result
