other of like nature"
On the receipt of this November 1st, Mr..
Blaine instructed Mr.. Rgan to claim the
privilege OF reading the paper which the
American sailors had signed in secret in
language they did not understand and with
out being accompanied by counsel, and to
see that no one from the Baltimore testified
| except in the presence OF friend acting as
| counsel. This request was denied, but Senior
Malta promised to submit the result OF the
! investigation when completed.
A report from the Intendente of Valparaiso
said that the police and soldiers only tried to
restore peace, and charged that the United
States sailors were armed. In reply to
this Capt Schley said that the fact that the
| mob 80 far outnumbered the sailors, and that
the sailors had, when arrested, only few
pocket-knives, is a refutation Of these state
| ments.
In another letter, Captain schley calls at
| tention to the discharge Of sailors arrested,
no proof Of guilt being found. Captain
Schley also gives a detailed account Of the
affair, which has been publised heretofore.
Captain Schley, in his report, says that he
can testify personally to the sobriety, order
iness and good behavior and politeness OF
his men to the Chilean authorities half
hour before the assault took place.
November Z, Mr.. Egan reported the bru-
tai treatment OF Patrick Shields, fireman
of the U. s. steamship Keweenaw and an
American citizen arrested by the authorities
of Valparaiso, charged with drunkenness.
He was in serious condition physically
from this treatment. Shields's claim for
$4,000 indemnity for injuries was transmitted
to Senior Malta.
Transmitting correspondence about the
attack on the Baltimore sailors, Mr.. Egan
commented on the fact that the correspond.

The Name of George L. Townsend Oh
Odessa Confirmed by the Senate.
President Harrison sent in the name of
George L. Townsend of Odessa to the Sem
ate, Friday, as collector of the port for
the District of Delaware. The nomination
was at once confirmed by the Senate in
executive session.
Collector Barlow was seen this morning.
He had heard nothing of the matter and
this mornings paper was the first intima-
ton of the appointment he had had.
The appointment has been made three
weeks ahead of the time, August 9Th,
when Collector Barlow's term expires. He
was sworn in on that date and his term of
office is for four years and until his sucs
cessor isappointed.
Collector Townsend is already appointed.
Therefore, there are two collectors for the
district of Delaware in office de lure now.
MIR. Barlows commission extends legally
to August 9Th unless he be removed.
There is no literal way of considering Fri,
day nights appointment, as engineered by
Senator Higgins if it be carried out, as
nothing less than removal from office.
No cause has been alleged. Collector
Barlow knows nothing but the fact that
his successor has been appointed and con-
firmed. 1t is technical point that would
naturally come under the civil service en-
actment
The new appointee is chairman of the
Second district Republican committee He
is q farmer Of Appoquinimink hundred

Parsons, KAN, July 15.-The south.
bound passenger train on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railroad was "hGld up'
by the notorious Dalton gang of train
tobbers near Adair, Indian Territory, late
last night.
There were four masked men in the
gang. They pursued their usual tactics of
climbing over the tender and compelling
the engineer and fireman,
AT THE POINT OF REvoLvERs,
TO obey their orders. One of the gang ar
rested last week gave information of the
intended committal Of the robbery, and
chief Kinney of the railroad police was on
the train with a posse to arrest the robbers.
In the fight which followed an Indian
policeman and two doctors, passengers on
the train, were dangerously. but not
fatally shot. None of the other passen-
gers came to the assistance of the posse
and they were forced to retreat into the
vars their revolvers being empty.
The express messenger refused to open
We car until the robbers
THREATENED HIM WITH DYNAMITE.
Upon securing entrance, they blew open
che safe and took all the money il CON
tanned; between S50,000 aud s75,O00. They
bound the express messenger and dumped
him into a corner, and after firing more
shots to further intimidatc the thoroughly
frightened passengers, they rode away, al
lowing the train to proceed to Adair.
A posse is securing the country to-day
searching for the gang.
