ers from San Francisco to
Valparaiso.

WASHINGTON, Feb. a.-An interesting
incident in connection with the Chilian
difficulty has not before been made pub
lie. After the attack on the sailors of
the Baltimore excitement ran high in
Valparaiso. AS will be remembered,
rumors were thick and frequent here
that the Chilians intended to attack the
Baltimore. The naval demonstrations
on their part were very threatening and
of such character that Captain Schley
was impelled to put his ship in order for
a hot fight, if it was forced upon him.
According to the reports, combined
attack was to be made upon the Balti-
more by the Chilian cruisers the Esmer-
aida and the Almirante Cochran and
the torpedo vessels. The idea of the
Chileans was that with their force they
could make complete wreck of the
Baltimore in q short time. Captain
Schley did not think so. At any rate he
was ready to give them warm recep-
tion. On either side of the Baltimore
and between the range of her guns and
the Cnilian cruisers lay the German
man-of-war, Leipseg, and the English
man-of-war, Melopomen. Captain
Schley had determined, in case of an
attack, to let the torpedo boats
go in the beginning and direct
his attention to the work of disabling
the cruisers. But he wanted to have
them in the line of his guns. Getting
in his gig he first boarded the German
man-of-war, stated his views and wishes
to her commander. The German cap
tain promptly said he would get out of
the way ut once, and gave the Balti-
more fair show. Captain Schley then
went to the Melopomen. Her captain
did not show the spirit of accommoda-
tion of the German. He said his
ship was in very good anchorage, and he
did not see why he should move. After
some further conversation he consented
to comply with the request of Captain
Schley, and said that he too would get
out of the way. As it happened, the
Chi1ians either abandoned their inten-
tion to attack, or never entertained it.
Otherwise there would doubtless have
occurred one of the most remarkable
naval engagements of history.

[ NEW ORLEANS, Feb. S.-The arrival OF
about 800 rifles and 1850 rounds of am
munition, consigned to Colonel Gran
dali, chairman of the Democratic state
committee, on the steamship Ell Paso,
from New York was noted by The New
Delta accompanied by strong editorial
remarks, concluding as follows:
J, To the Winchester in the hands of the
hireling oppose the Winchester in the
hands Of freemen. Let every crack of a
lottery rife make the echo answer the
report of anti-lottery gun. Ii the
hoodlums of New Orleans are upon the

ARE to be Redeemed with blood, let it not
be alone the blood of her good citizens.
II wholesale murder has been resolved
upon by the lottery, let the people re-
solve upon wholesale executions.
In reply The Evening States says Mr..
Foster, OF st. Mary, the candidate of
the ants for governor, was the first man
who raised the cry of rifles in this con-
test. Every five dollar bill, meaning
every pro-lottery vote, he said, in sub
stance, was to be met with twenty-five
dollar rifle. In view of these facts, ar
gues The States, it is not astonishing
that the Democratic committee have
taken the necessary steps to protect the
freedom of opinion and OF the ballot.
It adds: "H they had failed to do so

MADISON SOUTH DAKOTA. MONDAY. FEBRUARY s. 1892

Jnairman Atkinson points OUT the neces-
sity for prompt action in view of the
growth of the third party. He says:
The Peoples party has not been for
mulated with the hope of controlling
the white vote of the state, but with the
idea that they viii be enabled to attract
q co-working element now with t5e Re-
publican party, and in this way snatch
the state from Democratic control.
Should such a scheme succeed its effect
will be to put Georgia back twenty-five
years, and thus we will be confronted
with problem that we fought immedi-
ately after the war when
a few carpet baggers took
advantage OF the denoralized
condition and gave political supremacy
in this state to ignorance and vice. The
difference in cast of the reconstruction
leaders and the men who are at the head
OF the Peoples party is the threatening
feature. The men who are now leaving
the Democratic party represent better
element than the crowd who headed the
ignorant herd Immediately after the
war, but the great majority of the Peo-
PIES party support in this state will
necessarily come from the Republican
party and this gives color to the entire
organization. However, IL the rank
and file of these people who are bone Of
our bone and whose interests are iden-
tical with the aims of the Democratic
party in the South, could realize the
dangerous consequences of political
division in this state / believe many of
them would refuse to follow further the
lead OF these disruptionistis.

Chilians Would Like n Line of Steamers
from San FrnI cisco to Valparaiso.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A special cable
to The Herald from Valparaiso says
that Judge of Crimes Foster says he has
rendered sentence in the Baltimore as
sault casses in strict accordance with
Chilian law. The only regret he feels
is that there was no direct evidence
showing the immediate cause of Charles
w. Higgins death. He did his utmost,
he says, to fix the responsibility upon
some one for his killing. The court of
appeals, which will review the action of
Judge Foster win reconvene next
month.
On all sides there are renewed express
sions of hope that there will be O speedy
resumption of friendly intercourse be-
tween Chill and the United States.
Many people here, in view of the ap-
proach of the weyld's fair, are desirous
to see line Of american steamers be-
tween Valparaiso and Panama or direct
to San Francisco. Some are in favor OF
traffic with New York BY way of the
Argentine and Uruguay ports. There
seems to be no doubt that the opening
of an American line along the Chilian
coast in conjunction with the Chilian
steamship company will prove paying
investment.

He Makes q Statement in Regard to the
Governorship of Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 8.-Governor
Thayer has at last made public his In
tentions. Friday night he called to-
gether the correspondents and gave
them the following statement:
In regard to the governorship, l will
say that my attorneys are waiting to
get the full text of the decision of the
supreme court at Washington. As yet
they do not know what it does really
contain, because of the conflicting re-
ports. If any one supposes that am
holding on to the Office of governor for
the sake of Office or that l have the
slightest desire to do SO, that person is
most woefully mistaken. / am anxious
to surrender the Office; but I do not pro-
pose to act precipitately and without
full knowledge of what the decision
does really mean. The Clerk of the
United States supreme court wired Mr..
Webster that the decision of the su-
preme court of Nebraska was reversed
ard the case was remanded for further
proceedings. When it is known what
the decision is we will know how to act.
! am
Ready to Comply with Its Requirements.
The fact that the case is remanded
for further proceedings certainly means
that something further is to be done be-
fore can surrender this office. 1t
seems now that only four judges sustain
the position that the enabling act made
Governor Boyd a citizen; that is a
minority opinion. There is another
feature to this case. The query arises,
am justified in turning the Office over
to Mr.. Boyd? The question is as to my
right to turn over the Office to any per.
SON until the decision of the Nebraska
supreme court placing me in the Office of
governor is reversed by the same court,
because, as quoted above, the supreme
court remands the case here for re-
versal of its Judgment and further pro-
ceedings. It is the opinion of the best
legal lights here that have no right to
thus dispose-of this Office.
This Is Not a Personal Matter

am holding the office in behalf Of the
people of Nebraska and not for myself.

there are important interests awaiting
my attention. would not give up this
Texas enterprise if could have the gov
ernorship of Nebraska assured to me for

of this position.

Hili Democrats Attempt to Call OF the
Philadslphia Editor.
iPHILADELPHIA, Feb. Sit is said that
great pressure has been brought by in
fuential Democrats in New York to
induce Colonel w. M. Singerly, of the
Philadelphia Record, to cease using his
batteries ON Senator Hill and Hillism.
The Records course is regarded with
considerable dismay by intimate friends
OF the senator, not only on account Of
the great circulation and influence Of
The Record, but also on
account of Colonel Singerly's
personal strength in the ranks
OF the Democracy. Singerly, how
ever, declares that he is In the fight to
stay; that Hills nomination would
mean the loss of every Northern state
to the Democracy, and that between
Hill and Harrison he is not altogether
certain but that the latter would receive
his support. He proposes to go to Chi
cago on these lines, and if he keeps in
the same mind he is likely to be the
head center of some decidedly interest
ing developments.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb S.--The steam
ship Ell Paso has arrived from New
York. Her cargo included forty cases
of Winchester rifles and thirteen boxes
of cartridges addressed to "A. w. Gran
dali, Chairman Democratic Campaign
Committee, New Orleans, La" In an
interview concerning these arms Colonel
Crandall says:
Yes, it il fact that these arms have
come to New Orleans addressed to me 10
chairman of the Democratic executive
committee. There has been absolutely no
attempt made to conceal their shipment
and there is likewise no effort being made
by us to disguise why the arms have been
secured. We are providing ourselves with
them simply to protect ourselves against
any scheme, armed or otherwise, to deny
us q free ballot and fair count in the
coming election.
Since the nominating convention at
Baton Rouge we have been met ON all
sides with statements from the friends
and supporters of Mr.. Foster that it was
war to the knife and knife to the hilt, and
that the machinery in the hands of the
existing state administration was to be
used in counting in the Foster ticket and
in counting out the McEnery ticket. Be
lieying, therefore, that the state militia
and the election machinery, under the
control of the present state administration,
are to be employed in frustrating.
il necessary, free expression of the pub
lie will, we determined, on the principle
that an ounce of prevention is worth q
pound of cure, to take such means az
would protect us from an illegal and un-
warranted interference with our rights
under the law.
As said before, we are not endeavoring
to conceal anything whatever. The arms
have been openly shipped, and there win
be another consignment shortly, of which
our friends may take notice il they desire.
There is no intention on the part of the
regular Democrats to precipitate trouble.
There is no desire to provoke the shedding
OF blood. IL has been our aim TO secure
q perfectly peaceable election and abide
| by the result. All we have asked for and
all we mean to secure is the privilege oi
every suffragan to vote as he chooses in
the coming election and the assurance
that his vote will be counted as it is cast
We have never intended to bulldoze ol

tion not to be bulldozed or bluffed Oul
preparations are simply with view tc
insuring an honest election, and we have
merely accepted in earnest the threat
made at Baton Rouge by the state house
and Foster ring that the administration
will elect the Foster ticket even If a re
sort to an unfair ballot and dishonest
count are necessary-a contingency we
are determined shall not arise and which
will not arise unless we are disappointed
