When the vessels came together there

not sustained vital injury and so re-

that the president desires to encourage
the party in West Virginia, and it is
acknowledged that this movement will

WASHINGTON, July 29.-The Chilean
congressional ENJOYS emphatically deny
the truth of the reports from Santiago
to the effect that thousand soldiers OF
the congressional army at Iquique re-
fused to leave there when ordered to
Atacama, because they had received no
pay. The soldiers Of the Iquique gov
ernment, they say, are volunteers, but
aside from this fact, the government has
plenty of money with which to pay
them. Balmaceda, they affirm, sought
to negotiate loan in Europe, also in
the United States, but was unsuccess-
full. The government of Balmaceda,
they assert, has made no progress
since the commencement of the revolu-
ton, and each month since it began has
experienced loss. These losses have
been as follows: In January, the pro-
vince of Tarapaca; in March, the pro-
vince of Antafogasta; in April, the
province of Tacna in MAY, the province
of Atacama; in June, the Lobos guano
islands, and during the present month,
the valley of Huasco. Balmaceda has
not, the envoys insist, been able to re-
cover any of the losses which his gov
ernment has sustained.

which were encumbered by mortgages.
This includes some about which the
enumerators made no report, and which
belong partly to the class OF hired, and
partly to the class OF owned free,
as we'll as partly to the class
owned and incumbered. Until
this unknown quantity, due to the
failure of enumerators is eliminated, it
may be regarded as approximately true
that two and a quarter million of the
twelve and half million families of the
United States occupy and own incum-
bered farms and homes, and that ten
and quarter million families occupy
farms and homes, either hired or owned,
free. The proportion Of hired and
owned free homes and farms will be
known when the population division
complete the count OF the returns per-
tanning to them. The preliminary re-
suits indicate that the average debt fol-
a farm in Iowa is $12S3, for lone $719,
the average for a farm and home
is $1140. If these averages hold good
for the union, the incumbrance on
farms and homes of the United States
occupied by owners is about So, ,565 900,
600. The success of this investigation,
Superintendent Porter says, has been
far beyond the anticipations of the most
experienced statisticians, and the result
will be of immense interest and value to
the nation. The first volume relating
to recorder indebtedness will probably
go to press this year. Incomplete re-
turns from several western states indi-
cate that farms and houses are mort
gagged for about one-third the value put
upon them by the owners.

BIG BOILERS.
The Creditable Work of the Union
Iron Works.

=
Iron Works.
The Union Iron Works, owned by AL
bert Thomas, on First and Alameda
streets, has just completed two boilers
for the Whittier reform school, which
are the largest ever made in this city.
Captain A. F. Mackay and J. S. Skin
ner, the contractors and builders OF the
school, are great believers in home in
dustry, and so they placed the work
with the Union Iron Works, who, yes
terday, completed the contract and this
morning they will be shipped to Whit
tier and placed in position under the
direction of R. B. Young, who is the
supervising architect Of the school. The
boilers, which are sixty inches by six
teen feet, are of the return tubular pat
tern. The four-inch fue shells of the
boilers are made in two pieces. These
iron works are now employing forty
men, as against sixteen men this time
last year. They are doing considerable
work for the Electric railroad company,
and for parties in the surrounding
towns. The works are to be congratu-
lated upon having W. III. Tonkin as SUI
perintendent. He is very energetic and
has had over ten years experience in
the business.
