VALPARAISO, August 8l.-Ofder is grad

quedano has been recognized as President
| ad interim by the members OF the Junta here

route from Iquiqus. The government troops
at Conception, Talcahusno and other places
have notified the Congressionslss aushori.
ties that they have fnIshed fighting and are
ready to obey orders from the Junta and
only Coquimbo promises to make trouble.
Balmaceda'e officials at Ooqulmbo have cut
the English cable there and have refused to
surrender and will make fight. all that
remains to be done now ia to put down the
sporadic cases of disorder, bring to trial such
OF the Balmsoedist officials as have been
guilty Of acts of tyranny and prepare for
the elections which will again give the re-
public constitutional government. Ex-
Minister 9odoy, Balmaceda's closest advis-
or, and Balmaceda's brother say that since
the outbreak of the revolution Balmaoeds
has depended upon the representations OF
the army officials that the force was loyal
and devoted to bis cause. Believing this
Balmaceda concluded to continue resistance.
Had he thought otherwise ne would have
resigned rather than have been the cause Of
unnecessary bloodshed.
Senior Godoy thinks that Balmaceda has
escaped to Buenos Ayres over the Oordil-
lerss by way Of Los Andes He left San
tiago on Saturday morning with his family
and valuables.

THE RUSSIAN government is wise one,
ignorant gabblers, to the contrary. notwith-
standing. 1t derives the largest part of Its
revenue from It's tax on liquor. Such tax
is the least burdensome OF all, because its
payment is voluntary, and not compulsory.
No one need pay cent of 1t unless he shall
choose, OF his own free will, to do 30; and
surely he would be q mean spirited fellow
who, being rich enough to drink liquor
would object to paying the tax on 1t.

HoEY AND spooNER FIRED.

Inc Adams Express Company Has Il New
President and Vice President.
NEW YORK, Oct. Speciall-The
New York morning papers to-day pub
lished news Of which the following is
tho substance.
John lioey, who for the last forty
years has been identified with tho
Adams Express Company, and who for
over three years has boon its president,
was yesterday discharged from his high
Office by unanimous vote of the board
of directors on the charge OF malfeas-
ance.
Clapp Spooner, vice-president of tho
company, tho Bridgeport millionaire,
who occupied tho presidents chair when
the vote was cast to discharge Hoey,
and who voted for that discharge.
handed in his resignation and it was ac.
copied for precisely the same reason for
which Hoey was discharged.
The charges against Hoey and Spooner
which brought about the above action
are, in brief, that they purchased the
New York and Boston Despatch Express
Company and the Kinsley Express Com
pany for Sl5O,000 and turned them over
to the Adams Express Company for
SS5O,OO0, and that the difference he
tween these two amounts was divided
between llocy, Spooner, Henry Sher.
burne and Henry Taft.
The exposure was brought about by a
suit brought by Sherburne against tho
other three men for an accounting and
his share of the profits of the deal.
Hoey's share OF tho profits is set down
at$l70,oo0 and Spooner's ut sire, 600.
Henry Sanford, of bridgeport, Conn,
was this afternoon appointed president
OF tho Adams Express Company, and
Frederick Lovejoy, OF New York city,
was appointed vice-president.
