DISSATISFIED HEBREWS.
They Don't Like the Way a Chief Rabbi Is
Carving on Things.

They Don't Like the Way Chief Rabbi Is
Carrying on Things.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DIsPATcH.
NEW YORK, April 28.-There is dissatisfac-
ton among large number of orthodox He
brews in this city at the way Chief Rabbi Joseph
is doing things. The leader of the opposition is
Rabbi H. Brodsky. He said to-day: That
is not SO much with Rabbi Joseph himself as
with the Council of Presidents of Synagogues,
who brought him over. At first they contented
themselves with the leaden seal, which was TO
signify that the meat on which it was tied was
kosher. The Presidents manufactured the
seals, and Rabbi Joseph distributed them.
and in the first year be collected
over SO, 600 for them. This money was dis
tributed among the Presidents, and Rabbi
Joseph got only a small share of it. One day
someone found chicken whose neck had been
wrung with this seal on il. Then it came TO
light that the seals were being sold indiscrimi-
nately, and a big fuss arose.
Next there appeared on the market a brand
of Iea bearing fac simile OF a certificate from
Rabbi Joseph, saying that it was kosher. The
next thing Rabbi Joseph did was to sell cer-
ti6cate to Thurber, Whyland & Co., to the
effect that their sugar is kosher. No doubt it
is. All sugar IS kosher. 1t is said that $500 was
paid tor this certificate"

THE TIDE OF WAR TURNING.

Balmaceda's New Vessels Seem to Be a
Match for the Rebel Navy.
NEW YORK April pa firm mere received
a telegram from Valparaiso confirming the
sinking of the rebel flagship Blanca Encalada,
but not confirming the report of the sinking of
the rebel ironclad Huascar. The suppression
of the rebellion is looked for at an early day.
Owing to the velocity of the Government ships
they can at will attack the rebels, who are
powerless against dynamite. The rebels have
no forces of importance on land according to
the telegram.
A dispatch from Valparaiso says: "1he Gov
eminent cruisers Almirante Copdell and AlnI-
rante Lynch attacked the insurgent cruiser
Acoucogua. The latter resisted stoutly but was
about to strike when pan-of-war. which was
supposed to be the insurgent vessel Esmeralda,
was sighted, whereupon the attackers retired
and the Aconcogua escaped. The casualties
on the Government boats were one killed and
ten wounded. The insurgent appeared dis
pirped.

Strikes Not Expected TO Hurt the Business
Very Much.
Business is fairly good" remarked NJ. E.
Valiant, of the American Express Company,
yesterday. Il don't think the strikes will hurt
us much, except Indirectly. If anything, it
will help traffic for awhile, as we look to the
wholesale houses and merchants for much of
our business. When money is scarce small or
ders are given, ana little packages are gener-
ally sent by express to insure safety and avoid
delay. In the end, however, strikes will injure
the express companies as they will any other
line of business.
1--WE sometimes have very heavy shipments.
and at times it is necessary to load the articles
with derricks. The average express car will
hold from 200 to $1,000 pounds. This after
noon we have $500 pounds of iron for Boston.
The charges will be about $50, but suppose the
firm had taken a contract To deliver it at a GER
tain time. and it is better to pay the difference
between freight and express rates than lose
