KANSAS CRY, Sept. 4-Rev. bavake
was interviewed tonight regarding muir

said he did not give Bulling the revol-
yer, and had no idea where it came
from. He was on his knees praying
when Bulling's first shot was fred. The
muscular contraction following the pass
age OF the first bullet into Bulling's
body, the priest asserts, caused Bulling
to discharge the revolver accidentally,
and the ball whizzed by his head. He
first thought Bulling attempted to muir
der him, one tainted. Just before
Bulling was hanged, the sheriff had a
short whispered consultation with him

he sent to Admiral McCann, at Iquique,
and which was quoted by the admiral to
the junta as giving the minister's opin-
ion that Balmadeca's government could
not be overthrown. 1t was this letter
which led the jcnta to refuse
Egan's good offices in bringing
about peace. The copy of the
letter shown me reads: II learn
that the government has 80, 900 soldiers
and 10000 police, well armed and
equipped. From your information and
other sources am led to believe the
opposition to have only few thousand
men, wanting in arms, etc. My
opinion is that THE government
cannot be overthrown. am therefore
ready and anxious to do all can to
bring about peace between the contend
ing parties and to save unnecessary
bloodshed in this country"
Egan says one OF Admiral McCann's
officials sent letter to the Junta with
an alleged copy of his letter. He con-
tended that the letter was private, and
its publication officially never thought
of.

CHICAGO, Sept. AIT the opening oil
the national Columbian commission this
morning, communication from Presi-
dent Baker of the local worlds fair cor
poration, asked the cooperation of the
national commission in securing loan
of five million dollars from the govern
ment for the use of the fair, to be paid
out of the gate receipts, and resolution
OF the executive committee of the COM
mission, endorsing the request was read
and referred toIthe committee ON judi
ciary.
A resolution was presented to recon-
slider and expunge from the records the
resolution heretofore passed for the ap-
pointment of committee to recon-
mend certain notifications of the tariff
law, in the interest of the exposition.
After a long discussion, the resolution
for the appointment of the committee
was reconsidered, and the matter was
referred to committee on legislation.
A resolution pledging the commission
to take up and consider the Sunday
closing question as soon as it should
properly come before that body, was
unanimously passed.
The auditing committee presented its
report, showing an excess in expenses
by the commission for the year ending
July 1st next, over the appropriation,
of $23, 200. In order to avoid this the
committee recommended that the April
meeting of the committee be postponed
until July, and that the pay-roll be
reduced. The report was referred to
the committee on bylaws, and the COM
mission adjourned till 2 pm.
In the afternoon the judiciary COM
mittee reported unanimously in favor
OF indorsing the appeal for $5,O00,000
loan from the government, and recon-
mended that congress pass the neces-
sary legislation.
Commissioner Massey said Chicago
had done everything she promised, and
now proposed to go further and take five
millions out of their gate receipts to re-
pay the money to be spent for buildings
and grounds, which would make the ex-
position the most magnificent the world
he'd ever seen.' 'I
Harris, OF virginia, Bullene. Oh Mis-

A number of others supported the
motion.
Renewal of the opposition came from

West Virginia, closed the discussion,
declaring that the magnitude of the
exposition was beyond anything the
commission contemplated when it ar
ranged its plan and scope.
When the report was put to vote it
was adopted, with but three negatives
