Reasons for the Omission.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., June 13.-Insur-
aEce Commissioner Carrias' published
statement of business done in the state
last year does not give any business as
done by the Alliance Hail Association
of jamestown. Local officers of the
company explain as a reason for this
that the North Dakota Alliance associa-
ton was not organized until May, 1891.
Previous to that time it was merely the
North Dakota department Of the ALI
ance Hail Association of South Dakota.
The reason that the business Of the
South Dakota Alliance Hail association
is not reported by the commissioner of
insurance is because no foreign hail in
surance companies are doing business in
this state this year.

The Gillian Trouble,

IoU1oUE, June 1.-THE amnesty pro-
posed by the American minister at San
tiago to- Balmaceda was not accepted, but
the latter offered to- entertain a PROPOSE
ton for an arrangement, he indicating
it's basis. To this the congressional par
ty refuses to assent. The armed trans
port Imperial, with the torpedo cruisers
Lynch and Condell, landed a party at
Tocopilla yesterday which cut the state
telegraph lines and then re-embarked.
To-day's ships made a demonstration at
A~ntofagosta, similar to the ~demonstra-
lions at Pisagua and Iquique. No dam
age is reported. The superior speed of
those ships enables them to keep clear of
the congressional ships.
TELEGRAM FROM BALMAcEDA.
LONDON, June 1.-The president of
Balmaceda has sent the following dis
patch to the Reuters telegram company
from Santiago: The surprise and dis
dain have been produced here by false,
calumnious statements which the rebels
publish IN the European press. The
rebel congress closed June 1. The con-
gress lately elected here works regularly.
1t has approved the acts of the govern
ment and has invested 1t with extraordi-
nary powers and authorized to contract
loans. Perfect order prevails. The
army is we'll disciplined and is actuated
by the great Esprit de corps. The gov
ernuent cannot be vanqulshed by the
rebels, who are only able to prolong the
struggle to enrich themselves out Of the
nitrate deposits. They have undertaken
no expedition against the government
forces and are completely discredited.
The warships Lynch and Condell have
gone northwest. General Stephan's d.
vision is here, after twice crossing the
s~now-covered Andes. The discipline
of the troops is irreproachable. The
British, Frence and German commerce
will be prejudiced by the rebels that re.
main at Tarapaca.
