LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

New York, Jnly 2.-The follow
ing cable dispatch, signed by the
Secretary Of Congress, was received
last evening from Iqulque by
Richard L. Trumbull, agent of the
Congress Government, now in this
city: "The troops of the dictator
Balmaceda) fed at the approach
of our forces"
Mr.. Trumbull said that Huasco
was seaport town north of Co.
quimbo. This dispatch showed that
Balmaceda could not count On the
support of his soldiers, as his forces
vastly outnumbered those of the
Congress party. The dispatch was
very significant, as the reports of
the last few days were to the effect
that a great battle was expected at
Coquimbo.
Flint Il Co. of this city have re-
ceived transcript of the Chilean
Congress deliberations upon the
recent outrages in Santiago. Senior
Novoa, after reviewing in brief the
events of last Wednesday and
Thursday nights, which he char
acterzed as an infamous attempt
against four Ministers and one of
the most respected families of the
city eff Santiago" asked: What
measures has the Government taken
to punish the authors of these
crimes and prevent their repeti-
tion?" Senior Godoy, Minister of
the Interior, replied by first ex-
planning how bombs were thrown
in front of himself and colleagues
in Morundo street after leaving the
session of Congress. Two bombs
were thrown, one exploding within
six feet of the company and the
other failing to explode. No one
was hurt. The Ministers a minute
later saw two men In peasants
garb running away from the scene.
The police pursued, but were un-
able to apprehend the would-be
assassin. Everything indicated that
the outrage had been carefully
planned. 1t was within "a halt block
of the Presidents residence.

BRITISH CAPITAL.

The increasing investment OF
British capital in America is at
tracing more and more attention.
Most of the rumored investments
have no substantial basis whatever,
yet those which have are frequent
enough to give the movement Ma
tional Importance. The New York
Sun has prepared a list of those
made since May, 1888. The total
capitalization of the ninety-two en-
terprises which it reports is $685.
100000. The stock in number of
these companies is chiefly water,
and in some of them is hardly more
substantial than air; yet it seems
quite likely that in the neighbor-
hood of S60,000,0OO of English
capital has come within a year.
Breweries have formed favorite
investment; $35,O0O,OOO worth of
shares in American brewing COM
panies have been marketed in
London. Three classes of securi-
ties are usually offered-a mort
gage bond bearing six per
cent, preferred stock bearing
seven or eight per cent,
and common stock yielding
whatever interest the profits will
allow. Inasmuch as the American
brewer will rarely sell except at
an exorbitant figure, and as the
agents of the British companies
are certain to secure their own
profit by capitalizing their pur-
chases at still more exorbltant
figure before offering stock to the
public, it is hard to see how such
investments can be safe. Yet
there is no doubt that they are
eagerly sought after In England.
The London Truth of December
10Th gives list of the sound Eng-
iish brewery stocks, which throws
light upon the desire of the public
for similar investments in America.
The ordinary stock In Guinness
brewery is now quoted at 335,
though It's dividends are but twelve
per cent. The investor, therefore,
contents himself with rate of in
terest almost as low as upon Gov
eminent bonds Yet the average
of interest received from the entire
eighteen brewing companies given
in Truths list is six and half per
cent. The American companies
are said to yield still more.-[N.

Behring Sea Appears to Be the
Rendezvous This Simmer.

Behrine Sea Appears to Be the
Rendezvous This Summer.
The steamer Costa RIGA now at
Nanaimo, B. c., has been char
tered to the British Sealing Com
missioners to the Behring sea.
During the past week the British
sealing schooners Mascot and Otto
sailed for Behring sea. Their cap
tains did not receive any official
notice prohibiting them from going
to Behring sea, and it is needless
to say that they did not ask for it..
Each schooner is determined to
secure as many skins as possible
before being overhauled by the
men-of-war. J. King-Hall of the
New York Herald and r. Nc
Manus for an English syndicate
took passage on the Otto. Both
men have instructions to write up
the sealing question In all its
phases.
The United States steamer Mo-
hican and IL. M. S. Nymphe left
Nanaimo, b. c., in company for
Behring sea last week, and I'll. M.
S. Pheasant and the United States
steamer Alert were expected to
follow them yesterday. Comman-
der r. 3. Hitch of the Alert will
be unable to go to Behring sea, as
he is lying seriously ill in st.
Joseph's Hospital Vancouver. B.
C. Lieutenant Wainwright has
taken command of the Alert.

NEW York, July AFTER TAX
ing ride in Central Park to-day
Prince George visited the torpedo
station at WlIlett's point, and look
ed on the place with the eye of an
expert.
The Prince was accompanied by
President Everett Frazar of the
Sims Edison Electric Torpedo Com
pany, E. w. Frazar, assistant gen.
eral manager of the company, J.
w. Hayward, one of the directors,
and Messrs. Morrison, Smell and
Hamilton, engineers in the British
Navy.
Prince George is familiar with
many torpedoes that have been
used within the past twenty-five
years. He had never, however,
until to day, seen one of the Sims
Edison variety, and he fell in love
with the sample in the laboratory
which had been taken apart SO
that the inside working of the ma
chinery could be seen. He said
that although Greece was small
country she had feet of forty
two torpedo boats. In the evening
Prince George was one of the
guests at an enjoyable dinner
party at Delmonico's given by
General D. N. Botassi, the Consul
General of Greece at this port.

1t is not essential that you.
have a piano in order to derive
a certain amount of pleasure
from the possession OF a piano
lamp. It is the best and most
comfortable reading lamp we
know of because it can be ad-
justed to any height and you
don't have to bend over when
you want to read. It's a good
thing for that tired feeling.
We have what you want and
the price,-well it's not worth
mentioning.
Some weeks ago we told
you something about Filters,
not much, just enough to in
terest you. Now we tell you
more. Everyone knows that
filtered water is healthier and
sweeter than the unflltered and
that natural means of filter
ing is infinitely better than the
halfdozen chemical contrlv-
ances offered you. The filter
we have-the Gate City-ls
made of natural stone quar-
ried somewhere in Georgia
and is the healthiest and most
perfect filter on the market,
besides being the cleanest.
Compared with the results
they are also the cheapest.
Ever since the dry weather
began and the water has been
muddy we have kept one at
our door filled with ice and
water for the benefit of the
public, sort of good Samara-
tin act SO to speak, but it paid
us because people saw how
good it was and came in and
bought them. We have them
in sizes from two or three
quarts up to several gallons.
The size governs the price.
Have you read the circular
on Candlesticks which you see
hanging in the tram cars late
ly? No Well you should,
for they're interesting. We
only received the Candlesticks
the other day, and as we have
only a few of them you must
come soon if you want one.
The part that holds the can
die is adjustable to any size
candle, directly under this is
a movable metal cup to catch
the grease. Once the candle
is placed in position it need
not be moved because it is al
ways at the right height and
burns until there is nothing
left. The grease is easily
moved from the cup and your
candlestick is always bright
and clean. We haven't MANY
of them better not be.late if
you want a good thing.
Sometime ago we were
shown a little filter to fit a wa
ter-tap,-a good machine for
the kitchen or bath room
where you don't use the other
filter. You don want TO cook
with muddy water do you !?
Neither do you want to getin-
to tub of water and come

had to do it but we won't any
more, because this little filter
we speak of is just the thing
to remedy the difficulty. They
are a much needed article here
and we are the only people
who have them. Make a note
of this.
