Gen. OsbOrns's Estimate Of BaImaceIn-
Composition OF the CHILEAN Army.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Gen. Thomas Os-
borne, who recently returned after
a residence of many years in Chilli cs-
presses the opinion that the stories Of
barbarous cruelty by President Balma-
ceds7 as told in recent dispatches, are
correct 81 know the man well, " ne
said, land can believe almost any
story Of cruelty that ia told about him.
He is man of such determination thnt
he would rather perish than give in an
inch. He viii never make peace until
the revOlutiOnists concede everything,
and II they don't propose to do that the
country will soon be devastated He Is
far in advance OF others of
his race. as there is AnglO-Saxon
blood in his veins But there is enough
OF the Indian blood there to make him
the most determined OF men and at the
same time one OF the most cruel. He
has to take desperate chances now. If
he were to faltsr his life would not last
twenty four hours after he had de mon
strstsd any weakness. It is necessary
for him to be a perfect demon or he is
certainly lost, Baimaceda realizes thiE-
and with 20, coo cutthronts in the army
willing TO obey him, he knows his
power. The rank and his OF the
Gillian army IS made up from the
most vicious class In the republic.
All the murderers. horse thieves,
burglars and criminal classes OF
all kinds are soldiers Frequently
In the last few years murderers who
had been sentenced to death were par
doned on the condition that they should
serve the remainder Of their lives in the
army. When the revolution started
the prison doors were thrown open and
the occupants forced into the service.
This is the class Of fighters Balmaceda
has at his command Balmaceda has
turned all the churches of Chilli into
prisons He has no respect for religion
The majority OF the men there are In
ddSls, the women composing the re-
ligiOus element It Is easy TO predict
IN one respect how the revolution viii
end Disaster viii be the result, no
matter what happens, but the revOlu-
tiOuists will never gain the favor q ID
power they seek until BaImaceda il
dead"

orally known, SO that when District
Attorney Graham arose to ask that SEN
EeHce be passed upon the prisoner there
were not more than fifty people in the
ssourt room. The district attorney spoke
briefly. He denied Bardsley's conten-
GzOE, made in his statement to the'court
- week ago, that the ex-treasurer had
mot Incorporated a dollar. Mr.
Graham showed that by Bardsley's own
, statement he must have appropriated
at least 1920, 600, as that amount was
required to be made good by his sure
ties Mr.. Graham practically admitted
that Bardsley's declaration that he had
placed S945, GOO in the keystone bank,
taking due bills for the money, was
Grue. and that the money was deposited
j IN the bank. Although not able as yet
- 20 specifically show where the money
mad gone, Mr.. Graham said that Bards-
Rey7s embezzlements would amount to
between $500, 600 and $500, Ooo
mir. Alexander, counsel for Bardsley,
~rcvie we'd the statements made by his
client and appealed to the court for

OF guilty and his past services to the
city Mr.. Alexander said that Bards-
ley did not get dollar of the money
ne put into the keystone bank, and
that within two months it would be
shown who did. Mr.. Alexander vehe-
e,mently declared that his client had not
stolen dollar. but that he had only

S. RFice, chairman of the National
democratic committee, has written a
letter OF warning and advice to his fell
low mem bers of the national commit
tee EN- bodying advice IN regard to the
association Of democratic clubs and the
necessity of the national committee CO.
operating with them
Senator Brice begins with the state
ment that the presidential contest is
near at hand; that the republicans are
rapidly preparing Tor it, and that the
democrats cannot be too circumspect
or too swift in arranging TO meet them
The plan OF campaign of the
republicans he says, is a colossal sys-
tenn of clubs to be maintained and sup
ported by the unlimited means drawn
from the pockets Of the 7benehciaries of
the monopoly policy. This system, he
urges, can only be met by an equally
extensive system of voluntary demo
cratic clUbs-that is, associations of the
people in their neighborhOods for the
defense OF their rights and interests
against those who are banded TO assan
them.
Mr.. Brice says that the truly demo
cratic club has ever been the friend of
liberty. The tendency at this time of
the people OF the United States to en-
roll themselves together in neigh Dor
hood organizations of this character is
one of the signs of the political perils
which confront them. He thinks that
the approaching struggle is to be one
only between clubs and it is really to
be desired that a uniform and perfected
system of democratic societies, though
organized and in intimate association
,.E
before the beginning OF next year.
Mr.. Brice says he has examined the
plan of organization now in process of
successful accomplishment by the ma
tiOnRl association of democratic clubs,
and he feels it the duty OF every mem
Der of the national executive commit
tee to give the club association his most
hearty support and he urges each mem
her of 1.-the national committee to CO
operate with the association to the full
est extent The work undertaken by
the executive committee of the clubs is
absolutely necessary to be done. An
opportunity is now presented of having
1t accomplished by an efficient instru-
ment at = minimum cost, and that dis
tributed over SO many localities as to
not to be a burden to any one commit
tee.
Mr.. Brice concludes his letter as fol-
lows: IAN important feature of the
plan is in the selection Of correspond
ents in the several states This now re-
quires urgent attention ia your state. I
would, therefore, ask you to confer
with the chairman of your state COM
mittee as soon as may be convenient
and arrange this part of the plan; also
that you will do all in your power to
facilitate the organization in other
ways you may think best
The national officers of tbs demo
cratic club are highly gratifed with the
recognition accorded it by Chairman
Brice. Heretofore there has OCCASION
ally been some MISUNDERSTANDING be-
tween the association and the various
state committees. This difficulty is now
explained away and there is every in
dicstiOn of a harmonious cooperation.

RAvENNA, O., July THE inquest
on the terrible wreck was resumed by
Coroner Sherman, but not nothing i'm
portant learned
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned by the report that Conductor
BoyntOn's report OF the tickets showed
twelve people yet unecCOuntsd for,
though some may have left without
making themselves known.
Conductor BOynton Is firmly Of the
opinion that others were entirely con-
sumed in the IRE, and his son, who was
the negligent haSnan, supposed 70 have
been the cause OF the wreck, was one
of the victims The inquest may de-
velop some sensational facts In this
matter. ThOse who visited the wreck
Friday morning noticed pieces OF burned
flesh lying about the ruins, too small
to be identified as belonging to any part
OF a human body.
