San Antonio bay.
MISSED THE VESSEL.
Upon arriving there he found that the
vessel had sailed. Since his return to the
Argentine legation in Santiago ex-Presi-
dent Balmaceda had been in an extremely
nervous condition. No one with the ex-
ception of the Argentine min
lister and one other man who was
devoted TO the ex-president was permitted
to talk with or even see him. All the diff
ferent schemes of flight were considered by
the hunted ex-president. Senior Umbera

ceda Friday night relative to the advisa.
bility of the latter giving himself up to the

FL0RIDA'S PHOSPHATES.
A MOVEMENT TO CONTROL TIE
MONTHLY OUTPUT.

A Call Issued for State Convention
change One of the Probable Out
comes-Complaint About the Scare
ity of Tonnage and the. Drop in
Prices.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 20.-A special
from Ocala to the Times Union says: THE
following call has just been issued here and
sent 10 circular form TO oil the phosphate
miners and owners Of phosphate lands in
Florida: 'Ocala, Fla, Sept. is, 1891.
The imperative necessity for concert
ed action among the phosphate miners
in the state of Florida has induced
us to call for general meeting of miners
and those interested in the sale OF phosphate
rock. 1t is suggested by some that we form
a phosphate exchange in the city Of Ocala
for mutual protection and advantage. A
full meeting is desired. Those interested
will meet at the office of the Blue River
Phosphate Company, in Ocala, Fla, Oct. /,
1891, at 8 o'clock p. M
sIGNERs OF THE CALL.
"The call is signed by the Eureka Phos-
phate Company, E. w. Agnew (for the Ma
rion Phosphate Company. and about twen-
ty-hve other individuals and companies.
Imperative necessity for concert of action
is doubtless found in the present lower
prices in European markets and the
great advance in freights to the
United Kingdom and the continent
ports. The shipment of grain will prob
ably keep freights up for some months to
come, and even at present there is hardly
any tonnage offering. The movement will
probably be made at the coming meeting TO
control the monthly output Of the Florida
phosphate mines in the interest of the oper-
ating companies and owners"

REPORT OF TIE "a.
They Defend Their Vote Against the
Confederate Home.

Confederate home.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 20.-The famous
"94, who refused to accept the confeder-
ate soldiers home, have made their report
public. The report. which bears the sigma
lures of all the members who voted against
the bill and of several Others besides, is a
lengthy document, but there is not much in
it. The same reasons and arguments that
were advanced on the floor Of the House are
rehashed and reiterated. Patriotism and
love for the old soldiers are claimed to
be possessed by the "94n in large
quantities. Numerous appropriations for
artificial limbs, ETC., are quoted to bear out
their loyalty and affection, and the report
closes with these words: "The representa-
tives OF the people from every section OF the
state, after inquiry and careful investige-
tion, have decided that Georgia has
no need for the institution, that
1t is not economical or Just to
establish it. In that conclusion we feel con-
tident that the people of Georgia will con-
cur. This letter is written in part that you
may know the standpoint from which we
view this question, but chiefly to protect
tho fair name of Georgia from the
obloquy and SANDER of those, who, In their
anxiety TO damage your representatives
have held up Georgia to the scOrn and con-
tempt of the civilized world, as a state that
was unjust to brave men, who, when the
war cloud hung over her, answered
hcr call TO arms and offered their lives as a
sacrifice upon the altar of their country
Georgia has already done vastly more for
the survivors Of the confederacy than any
other southern state and it is
unjust to heap calumny upon
her because she does not allow unauthorized
individuals to force upon her a policy
which is both unjust and un wise"
