SAD AccIDEST.--An explosion took
place at the Star spangled Banner mine,
Stockton Hill last Friday, in which NJ. A.
Knapp and David Southwick were seri-
oMly injured. The two men had just
eaten lunch in the ore house and were
preparing to 20 back into the mine, when
Knapp observed that a stick Of giant pow
der placed near the stove was getting 80
hot that the glycerine was exuding from
1t. STOPPING down he picked the powder
up, and, at the same time, pressing !. in
his hand, when terrible explosion took
place, tearing his hand in horrible man
ner and tIllng his eyes with dirt and
gravel Sonthwick, who was some ten feet
away was thrown down by the force Of
the blast and badly injured, the flying
sand and gravel tearing his flesh whe-ev-
er it struck. Knapp's cries for help
brought assistance and the two men we're
kindly cared for until the arrival Of The
doctor. Knapp's hand was so badly in
jured that IL had TO be amputated at the
wrist. He gas removed 10 town Saturday
and is nog at Mrs Reeds lodging house,
where he Is getting along as well as couid

no bones broken, Is a mass Of bruised hu-
manity, and II will be several weeks be
fore he will be able to get around. II il

SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Oct. 26-The United
States government to-day through Minister
Egan formally demanded PREPARATION from
the government of Chill of the attack made
upon Il number of seamen of the United
States cruiser Baltimore. The demand
made by the United States is not an in
formal suggestion that the government at
Washington expects some kind of
satisfaction for the killing and
wounding of the Baltinore's sailors.
1t is u friendly notification given according
to the directions received from the state de-
partment AT Washington that the United
States demands a summary explanation of
the whole affair and PREPARATION for injuries
received. Acting upon Instructions sent
from Washington Egan presented 10 the
president of the Gillian iunta the statement
of the result of the investigation made by
Capt. Schley of the Baltimore. and by Egan
himself. After giving full list of the Bal
tilnores crew who were injured by the,
mob, Mr.. Egau's statement called atte9f
ton 10 the fact that thirty-five of tka
cruisers crew We're on the day OF the riots
arrested, unnecessary force being admin
istered by the police, and that they were
detained in custody without cause.
In conclusion he said that the surr
geons of the. United States war-shNs
expressed the opinion that some of fhe
wounds inflicted on the American saibrs
were bayonet wounds, and that this clearly
showed that the police officers of Valparaiso

AURORA, WISE COUNTY, TEX -oct. 81
Your CORES pondent was invited to see one
of natures freaks yesterday, girl in her
nineteenth year weighing eighteen pounds
If standing erect she would be four and a
half feet tall. But due to the anchylosis
of the joints of the limbs she cannot stand
She was born in Tulare county, Cal. The
father was well-to-do man and has spent
a fortune travelling with his daughter to
improve her health. Sound advice years
ago would have save him thousands of
dollars. She has been the object of such
great curiosity wherever they have
sojourned that the father, daughter and
other children now look upon many visitors
as part OF the daily programme of life. The
girl at birth weighed one pound. Some
idea Of her skeleton-like proper
tons may be given by the follow
ing measurements. From knee to ankle

one-third inches around the calf of the leg.

ference of the leg one-third of the length

inches, two-thirds up five and ope-half

who are armed with bayonetS-took part
in the attack. The Americans were without
arms and practically defenseless.
Minister Patrick Egan, in presenting
the Gillian junta with the statement of the
assault on the American sailors expressed
in the strongest terms the feeling of great
Indignation which the state department at
Washington feels about the whole affair,
and especially at the conduct of the police
of Valparaiso in joining with the mob
in the latter's attack upon the Balti-
more's seamen, and drawing their
bayonets and using them against unarmed
Americans. Egan also particularly called
attention to the brutality of the police of
Valparaiso in furnishing horses to draw
Americans to prison. 10 make it brief but
to the point, Minister Egan informed
the representatives of the junta that
in the name of the United States he de-
manded reparation for insults and injuries
complained of. Now the question is, what
will be the action of the Chiian govern
mentt AS it appears now, there seems to
be no doubt that the juuta will soon make
the reparation demanded. Naturally the
action taken to-day by Minister Egan is at
tracing the attention of foreign ministers
and of foreigners generally who are resi-
dent in this republic.
The sympathy of the American colony is
entirely with Capt. Schley and his blue
jackets. and they are one and all glad to re-
ceive the news made public to-day that
another United States war vessel, the
Boston, has actually sailed for
these waters. The Chilians try
to smooth over the assault upon
the American sailors, CHASING it simply as
a street row. Up TO the present time the
junta has expressed no regret for the at
tack made upon the American sailors. Two

knows the charge to be as silly as it is de-
void of truth, SO far as l violated my obi
cation. None knows this better than he, and
the facts in this case go to prove my for
mer charges of bossism and miniature
copying of his great political high priest,
Reed OF Maine. AS President Taylor has
referred to this, will make a statement of
facts, and let the Alliance and the
public judge whether 1 disclosed any
of the secret work of secret
session of Fannin county Alliance.
President Taylor refers to the publica-
ton of the minority protest against Fannin
county Alliance indorsing the sub-treasury
and land loan scheme of the
Ocala platform. That protest was
signed by eight or ten delegates
and members of the July meeting, as well
as every member in good standing who
was opposed to the sub-treasury scheme.
President Taylor ruled that none would be
regular delegates and members,
and ordered the erasing of all
names signed to said protest that
were not regular delegates or members of
the July meeting. 1t did not relate to the
secret work of the order, contained nothing
that rendered it unfit for publication and
was intended not only to be spread upon
the minutes of Fannin county Alliance. but
its author and signers desired that it be
given as great publicity as the
supporters of the sub-treasury scheme
We're giving the Ocala platform. The
writer of the resolution referred to over
looked in the hurry of their preparation and
failed to write the usual request that the
secretary be authorized to furnish the
press with copy, and when local reporter
applied to you, Bro Taylor, for permission
to get copy of same for publication you
refused on the technical ground that the
body had failed to authorize their publicse
ton. l went to the county secretary that
same day, procured copy of the protest and
gave to the world through the press what
you in your partisanship intended should
be smothered and suppressed among the
secret records and confines of the county
Alliance. As TO my crying aloud and
sparing not the secret work of the
last county Alliance. Now Bro. Tay-
lor, cOme-you know you would not let ME
in that meeting. and how could l give its
work to the world2 Keep cool, Brother
Taylor, and walk up to the ick-log and
take your salt as have mine.

prefer charges against or declare any mem
Der not In good standing and challenged you
to show any constitutional authority for
the same, also took the posi-
ton that the sub-Alliance had
absolute control of its membership and
asked you to tell the good people just what

WASHINGTON, Oct 26-There is suspi
cion in the minds of Il good many persons in
Washington that the administration found
the attack of the CHILEAN mob upon our sail
ors to be an extremely opportune broil.
The president knows as well as most people
who read newspaper that his party is in a
bad way in the states in which elections are
about to be held and that the administra-
ton does not excite much more interest
generally than it did. particularly in India
napolis recently in the municipal election.
The Importance of ''whooping it up is APP
parent to everybody here who fancies that
d little jingoism the week before election
may capture a few hundred Republicans
who would otherwise vote the opposition
ticket.
But the president knows, as well as does
Secretary Tracy, that no demand will be
disposed of offhand, and that the Chilians
may tell us as we told Marquis Rudini that
they are not to be hurried into instant COM
pliance with our diplomatic demands.
Consideration and inquiry must come first,
not settlement. Our diplomatic history
shows that such affairs have not hitherto
been regarded as the occasion for precipi-
tating immediate war, and if the imminent
war with Chilli can only be STAYED off until
next Tuesday week it is altogether probable
that the chances of hostile friction be-
tween Chill and the United States will be
amazingly diminished.

SOCKS FOR JERRY.
THEY KNITTED THEM IN SALIVA,
KANSAS, YESTERDAY.
A Great Day for the Kansas Farmers Al
liance-Ten Thousand Farmers Out.
Simpson and PETER Talk


SALINA, KAN, Oct. 22.-This was big
day for the Farmers Alliance in Kansas.
BY the numbers and the demonstration it
appears that the Alliance in Kansas is as
enthusiastic as it was last fall and that the
farmers hold the key to the business and
The city of Salina has been
besieged with members of the order, and at
10 O'Clock this morning not less than TO- 900
of them had gathered about the city.
Every road leading to the city was filed
with wagons, buggies aud horses. At
that hour the procession was formed,
and it moved through the main
streets of the city TO the fair grounds.
While this demonstration was in progress
President McGrath was delivering his ann
ual address. 1t was in accord with his often
repeated declaration that the Alliance must
preserve its business organization intact,
that to enter politics as an organization is to
impair its usefulness. He urged the speedy
adoption of both local and general corporate
systems. He hoped that all jealousies and
political differences would be laid aside and
united support De given to those in charge
of the business affairs of the lodge. He
stated that during the past year 249 sub-Al-
iances have been formed.
The committee on credentials reported
and asked if delegates from counties behind
with their dues should not be seated. 1t
was after long discussion decided to seat
them. The council then adjourned to take
part in the parade which was then passing
through the streets.
President McGrath, national lecturer
John Willis and Mrs. Vickery, vice-presi-
dent, headed the council in the procession.
AT the fair grounds an immense dinner was
awaiting the participants in the parade. The
chief attraction this afternoon was speech
by Congressman Jerry Simpson. Jerry
Simpson was favorite with the crowd and
his name was conspicuous on the banners.
One of them read: For President of the
United States, jeremiah Simpson,
An old man was seated in a wagon imme-
diately behind busily knitting and on one of
the streamers floating was this legend:
Jerry shall have socks this winter.''
''What pity you were born in Canada -
said bystander to the Seventh district
statesman.
No pity at ALL was the prompt re-
sponse. ''We'n have the constitution
changed when | grow more ambitious
The council was in session again this
afternoon, but no night session will be held
on account of joint debate between Sena-
tor PETER and j. r. Burton, Republican.
The audience was equally divided be-
tween the Alliance and the Republicans.
An amusing feature of the convention is
the endeavor of the National Woman's AL
lance to gain recognition. Inasmuch as
women are entitled to membership in all
Alliance lodges, with the same privilesas as
men, the delegates cannot understand why
4 separate organization should have been
formed,
