The Alleged Real Animus OF
the Late Attack Of the

Startling Facts as to Balma-

in Chilli.
Account of the Naval Fight
in Which the Enealado
Was Sunk.

CHICAGO, June pa royal mesSen-
ger, bearing important dispatches sent
from Toxic by the czarewitch to the
czar of Russia. has mysteriously disap-
peared, it is said, while en- route from
San Francisco to New York. The fact
has been kept secret, and it is not cer-
tain that the Russian government is yet
aware of it. G. Waterman, member
of the firm of Grosser & Co., of Yoko-
hama and London, was on the same Pa
cific Mail steamship which brought the
messenger to this country, and told of
the disappearance for the first time to-
day at the Palmer house. where he and
a number of well-known German and
English merchants of Japan and China
registered on their way from Yokohama
to Europe. According to Mr.. Mater.
mans account, the messenger intende d
making no stops after leaving San Fran
cisco for the East on the day of his ar
rival there. Near Denver, however, a
wreck delayed his train, and he stopped
over night in that city. He never
Resumed the Journey
aud has not been since seen. There are
many reasons causing his steamer ac-
QuaintanceS to believe that the young
Russian has met violent death at the
hands OF Japanese enemies of the car
Owitch. The most important of these is
the hitherto unpublished truth regard
ing the attack upon the life of the car
ewitch. Mr.. Waterman was in Toxic at
the time, and states that the truth was
never made known because it showed
too plainly the vicious character of even
the highest class of the Japanese people.
The attack was not made, he says, be-
cause the Russian had desecrated a
sacred temple. The czarewitch had ac-
cepted an invitation to visit great noble
at Toxic. On the way there he Yielded
to the opportunities of another noble
to visit him before reaching
Toxic. His host at the latter city re-
ceived this as an insult, and his desire
for revenge stopped at nothing, it is al
leged-not even the murder of his royal
guest. An assassin was therefore hired
to kill the cZarewitch, and the resulting
attempt was given to the world as the
work of religious fanatic. From every
stopping place the cZaIe witch sends
duplicate dispatches to his father by
three trusted messengers, who take the
most opposite routes. One of these, i'm
mediately after the attempted assassina-
tion, was sent to ST. Petersburg by way
of the United States. The theory ad-
vanced by Mr.. Waterman ana his friends
is that the authorities, in a weak at
tempt at continuing the deception re-
garding the affair, have intercepted and
put out of the way all 1.-The messengers
supposed to bear news of the truth.

Examination Begins at New York
"A Hungarian Suit.
New YORK, June o. Michael Shan
non. deputy superintendent of the state
insurance department, and John S. Pat
terson, the actuary of the department,
began the examination of the affairs of
the New York Life Insurace company
this morning. DR.. Tuck, the vice
president. could not tell how long the
examination would take, but it would
certainly. occupy good deal of time.
Mr.. Beers, the president of the COM
pany, will sail for New York Wednesday
the oath inst. DR.. Tuck denied the re-
port that officers of the company had
endeavored to induce the superintend-
ent OF the state insurance department to
postpone the investigation of the COM
pany's affairs until his return from Eu-
rope.
1t was learned to-day that Bella Kan,
lawyer OF Hungary, has brought suit
against the company in the courts of
that country for the return of the
premiums he had paid, plus the
interest. This action, it is said, is
based upon a law prohibiting mutual
companies from doing business as joint
stock concerns. The New York Life is
reported to have tried to do this, and
registered in 1856 as share company,
which it is not, and induced Bella Kan
to insure his life on such representation.
DIR. Tuck said that the difficulty in rela-
tlon to the company not being a stock
company had been settled. 1t arose
through mistake in the translation
of the concession obtained from the
Hungarian government. Papers, how
ever, had been filed, and there was no
longer any difficulty of the nature in
dicated in the report as to the Beal Kan
suit. So far as could be ascertained to-
day the reported organization of policy
holders to secure an examination of the
company's affairs has not taken on any
definite or concrete shape as yet.

THE CHILEAN DEsPor.
A Travesty on a Republic Is Chilli
at Present.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Many startling
facts in connection with the revolution
now raging in Chill, which throw light
upon the despotism of Balmaceda, are
now given to the public for the first
time. In Santiago. where his head
quarters are, he has caused a cross of
red to be painted OH all the houses of
people who he suspected are not
wholly in sympathy with him, and into
these marked residences his police and
soldiers go at any time of day or night.
The people IN these houses are
forbidden to lock their doors. No
one is allowed to ride on horseback
through the streets after o'clock in
the afternoon; no three persons are al
lowed to walk the streets in company at
any time of the day; no two persons
can stand and converse on the street.
1t is verltable reign of terror for all
who either through fear or interest
have failed to cast their fortunes with
Balmaceda. A New York gentleman
saw horrible punishment meted out to
a Chilian who had been. overheard to
say that he was willing to work his
hands off for the revolutionists. The
poor fellows hands were placed on a
block and his fingers pounded to Jelly
by big mallet in the hands of a soldier,
He was then told that he could go and
work his hands any way he wanted to
and for any one.
The generals of BaImaceGa's army.
as well as the principal officers, are said
to be superior i'll military training to
those of the reyolutioRists' forces. One

A NOTED FEUD.
William Caldwell Sentenced to
Hang in Private. =

HoUsToN, Tex, June %. = In the
criminal court to-day William CALDWELL
was sentenced to be hanged in private
on July L. He is the man convicted of
the assassination of DIR. Shamblin in
August, 1888. and whose case has beenl
once before the United States supreme
court and twice before the court of ap-
appeals. DR.. Shamble was shot while
reading the Bible to his family, and
Caldweli's conviction was on circum,
stantial evidence. The murder was the
first of series which eliminated in
battle between the "Jaybirds" and
"Woodpeckers" in tie streets of Rich,
mond and resulted in the death of the
sheriff and several citizens on each
side. Another strange thing is that
nearly all the leaders of both these
political factions have since died sudden
or violent deaths.

ed to remain in the city for some time,
though exactly how long he would
not or could not say. He stated also, in
answer to further inquiries, that he was
operating in the market at the present
time, but would give no further partic-
ularS except that he was bull on grain

good financial condition, he said, and in
proof of this he hauled out from the in
ner depths OF one of his trousers pock-

LADIES TO THE FORE.
Their Calisthenic Drill Created
Quite q FurOr,

AS was expected, the calisthenics by
the ladies proved the prettiest and most
attractive feature of the day. Attired
in the regimental costume, they marched
to martial music out upon the square,
each young lady bearing pair of Indian
clubs. They came in ranks of fours,
and in two columns. One column came
upon the ground from the east and the
other from the west, and filing towards
the north, after a few military maneu-
vers, were arranged in a solid mass in
open order. Then the band struck up
pretty selection and the calisthenics
were completed. The audience APP
plauded enthusiastically at every pause
in the performance, and when the ladies
marched off the square the applause
amounted to perfect ovation.

his residence as Boston, was arrested
last night for attempting to commit an
assault on little four-year-old child by
the name of julia German. On his way
to the police station the prisoner was
followed by large crowd, which was
very dehonstratiye. Such exclamations
as ''Lynch him" Hang him to lamp

probably have Jared badly with the
prisoner had not several policemen

shooting was jealousy, Shaw claiming
that Morgan was intimate with his wife,
and Roberts with his daughter, the
stofy having been told by servant en-
plOyed in the family.

SOME GREAT SPORT.
Individual Competitions Keen1y
Contested,

The days events were opened by mis-
celianeous apparatus turning promptly
at o'clock. The .5arallel and the hori-
Zontal bars, the horses with saddles and
the horses without saddles. These ex-
ercises occupied the time up to 10
o'clock. Then began the contests IN
putting the thirty-fve-pound shot, lift
Ing weights and the running long
jumps.
The jumping was disappointment
to the contestants and to their admirers.
1t required long time for the
individual participants to complete the
affair. William Koecke, of the South
Side Turngemiende of Chicago, cleared
10 feet, inches and the record stood
nnchallenged to the end, although there
were many who had anticipated leaping
over 20 feet.
John Nuremberg, the stalwart repre-
sentative of the Lincoln society of Chi
cago, was trif1e too good for the field
In putting the thirty-five pound shot.
He cast it twenty feet and six inches.

his rivals. He is slender, young ath-
lete, but wiry and nerVy. He out
1O0-pound dumb-bell. he put it up
twenty-four times, and his feat had
every appearance of fairness to the
spectators, although a kick was formu-
lated by the others. He suffered with a
very sore foot, the result of his work in
the Jumping events. This fact pre-
vented him from
Standing Squareiy
on the ground, as the rules prescribe,
and the claim of foul went to the judges
to decide. When the reporter asked
one of these gentlemen for an opinion
in the premises he refused to give even
hint. Should the foul be allowed the
prize will go to John Nuremberg, of
Chicago, who put up the weight twenty
one times. or three less manipulationS
than the Turner from the Cream City.
The friends of each are loud in their
declarations for the rights of their re-
spective favorite. and wrangle may
ensue at the awarding of prizes to-day.
The Spert was resumed after dinner
promptly at O'Clock. Then popular
turning was again taken up. The run
ming long jump was finished, but the
records just given were not disturbed.
This was followed by the hop, skip and
jump, as it is known in the technique of
Turner parlance.
These were hot contests. Several
hundred participated, and the result
hung in the balance until the very
finale. ALI the favorites were there,
