BUESos AYREs, Jan. 24.-News has been
received here from Valparaiso that the con-
ference between President Balmaceda and
the Chilian deputies has taken place. Many
people bel ieved that the president would
take advantage of the meeting to tender his
resignation. He did not do so. however,
and the conference had no result.
The CHILEAN insurgents continue to gain
strength and confidence. WOrkmeh en-
ployed in the factories at Valparaiso are
joining the insurgents in large force and
public sympathy appears to be with the
rebels. The regular railroad traffic is at a
.standstill and business is paraI,zed. The
government has declared the large towns

worst obstacles in the path of progress of
medicine. There could be no doubt that
the practice of these empires was a harm

repressed. The Legislatures of the vari-
Gus States had power to regulate empiri-

provide such regulations. a vote of

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-The United
States steamer Thetis arrived in port this
afternoon, thirteen days from Ouna-
laska. The vessel warned over thirty
sealers while in Behring Sea, but made
no seizures. The officers do not believe
the report that the sealers are hiding until
the coast is clear, when they will
raid the seal islands. After reaching
0unalaska the Thetis made cruise of a
few days to the eastern boundary of
United States waters. The officers knew
nothing of the seizure of the j. Hamilton
Lewis by the Russians.
The Mohican was to have left Ouna-
laska three days after the Thetis, so that
she may be in at any time. The Bear left
for the Pribyloff Islands ON September
30th, and will leave for home some time
in December.
The last days which the Thetis spent
in Behring Sea the weather was very
bad and once on the trip down she had to

has not had case of sickness on board,

BONNER is HAPPY.
GREATLY ELATED OVER SUNOL'S
MAGNIFICENT RECORD.
He Thinks She is the Greatest Piece
of Horsefiesh in the WorId-She
VIII be Taken East Soon.
Special to the REcoRp-UNIov.

New YORK, Oct. 20.-Concerning the
marvellous performance of Sunol at
Stockton, Bonner says: 81 regard Sunol
as the most wonderful animal ever
foaled. 1 hesitate to compare her best
with Maud SIS, as the latter made her
record over a regulation track, and as all
horsemen know the kite-shaped track,
over which Sunol trotted yesterday, is a
trife faster than regulation one. Still
it is a glorious record. The best previ-
Gus time over the same kind of track is
2:094, made by Allerton. To show YOU
how much superior I regard SunoI to
Maud S., will say that paid $4,000 for
Maud S. and S4l 900 for Sunol.
II do not look upon this new and fine
record of SunoPs as quite as good as that
of Maud 5. over regulation track. /
think she will probably not excel Maud
s. marvellous speed. These are two
horses | regard as nearly evenly matched.
Senator Stanford from whom / pur-
chased Sunol on November ,, 1889, has
written to me that Sunol will trot in 206.
He knows more about her capabilities
than / do, and he may be right [ be-
lieve her performance of 2:l04 as three
year-old is greater than this, her record
as a tive-year-old, and | think every
horsemau will agree with me in this
opinion.
1.-The three fastest trotters in the world
are, in my opinion, Maud s., Sunol and
Nancy Hanks. / do not expect to live to
see any horse trot a mile on q regulation
track in 2:06, nor do | expect ever to see
another three-year-old equal SunoPs
time of 2:l02. Some enthusiasts hone
that the record may be eventually
brought down to two minutes, or very
close to that figure. 1 think 2:05 or 2:06
OH a regulation track probably will be
the limit. We have not yet had enough
experience with the kite-shaped track to
tell what may be accomplished on it.
There are only a few of that kind of
tracks.
Charles Marvin has written to me
that the kite-shaped track being new is
somewhat slow. He says that after the
fall rains, in week or so, the track will
be packed and solid, and that Sunol will
reduce, perhaps, by a fraction of q second,
her present magnificent time.
Maud S. is now breeding, but 1 believe
that when she is in perfect condition and
good training she can trot in 2:07. / also
believe that Sunol can equal Maud S. on
a regulation track. Nancy Hanks has
trotted over private track which is fast,
the soil being elastic, in 200.
81 wouldn't have bought Sunol if had
not thought her the finest piece Of horse
flesh in the world. After Senator STAN
ford accepted my offer for her, let her
remain year with him in California. I
expected to bring Sunol East several
weeks ago. She struck lame, and de-
cided to let her stay in California. l will
bring her here about November 1st,
probably week or so later, and will jog
her on the roads for awhile. In the
spring [ will have her put in training to
beat the record over the regulation
track"

They have already made five victims,

arms can be purchased in Vladivostock,
and those who have weapons keep them
