The relation between this country
and Chile are again upon a friendly
footing. The $4,000 which has
been paid by Chill to this country
to be distributed among the families
of the Baltimore who were killed in
the Valparaiso affair, and the sailors
who were wounded, is regarded as
satisfactory. Mr.. Tracey, the Secs
rotary of the Navy, will distribute
the money. Two sailors were
killed, and it is expected that the
family of each of them will get $780,
600. The balance (s35, O0O) will be
given to seven sailors who were
wounded. The $4,000 which each
will get will be an ample compen-
sation for their suferings.

WILL RUN BY ELECTRICITY.

The New York, New Haven anG
Hartford Railroad will probably b.
the first steam railroad in the world
to substitute electricity for steam on
large scale.
This road was known to be con.
structing a four track line, but il
was not known publicly that the two
central tracks were to be equipped
with special reference to the use of
electricity instead of steam to pro>
pei both freight and passenger cars
over that portion of the line between
New York and New Haven, a dis
lance of "A miles.
WHEN the plant is ready the dis
lance between the two cities will be
covered in sixty minutes. 1t is
probable that light locomotive will
be used. The electric power will be
taken from an overhead wire, as IN
the case of most electric cars. The
electric track Will be fenced in, and
there will be no grade crossings.
The arrangement at stations will be
similar to those of the elevated roads
in New York City. Passengers
cannot cross the track except by a
bridge overhead or a tunnel under
meath.

The abuses of which the Peoples
party complain are not all magma
ny. So fer, however, as they have
a substantial basis they are the work
of the Republican party, and It is
grossly unjust to lay them, as was
the fashion at Omaha, on the "old
parties. without discrimination.
They are the abuses which the
Democratic party are laboring to
correct, and those who deprecate
their existence should aid the demo
Gratis in the work of destroying them.
The notion that a new organization
can do the work better than the one
which has so long been engaged in
the endeavor is wholly chimerical.

With these two measures enacted

''RLN FOR YOUR LIVES. :"
Exciting Close Of a Dance on the
Cape Shore.
THE NEW HOTEL, THE SEA VIEW,
BURNED FLAT.

knights of the Golden Eagle were Opening
the Rouse-The Fire Caught in the
Cellar and Did Its Work Quickly-The
Hotel was Owned by ID. Hieber of This
City-Loss s11 600; Partially Insured.
A scene of gayety was rudely inter
rupted last evening at Sea View Cottage,
the hotel on the Cape shore road
near Pond Cove. The Sea View was q
new hotel, built this summer and just
completed, its owner being Mr.. Daniel
Hieber of % Pleasant street, this city.
Mr.. Hieber's son-in-law, Mr.. B. B. Rod
lex, was manager. The house was new
and convenient with about forty rooms,
and in an excellent location overlooking
the sea. Yesterday was expected by it's
owner to be the beginning of most
prosperous season.
The event was observed by a visit of
Forest City Commandery, Knights of the
Golden Eagle with their ladies. Includ-
ing Chandler's Band, which went along,
the party numbered about hundred.
Fairfeld's barges transported them.
About 10 o'clock last evening, after the
supper, and when the merriment and
dancing in the hotel parlor was at it's
height, the company were startled by
the appearance Of Mr.. Hieber, who
rushed into the middle of the room and
shouted:
"This hotel is afire. Run for your
livesr'
At once there was great confusion.
The wraps of the women were scattered
about in various adjoining rooms. while
the property of the band was up two
flights. The women all got out safely
however, and were got into the barges,
where they were protected from the
rain. The band also got their property,
although the smoke was thick about
them before they got out. One member
of the party who was sleeping in an up
per room was helped out minus his
shoes and some other minor articles of
apparel Some of the furniture was
saved, but not great deal.
The hotel soon burned to the ground.
The stable near it was saved. The house
with it's furniture was valued at about
$11 900, and is said to have been insured
for barely half that amount.
The fire seems to have caught in the
cellar, where there was some debris and
a barrel of oil. Mr.. Hieber was almost
prostrated by grief at his sudden and un-
expected loss. No one seemed to know
definitely last evening how the fire
caught in the oil and waste. Some of
the party who were there had the idea
that someone might have set the fire
from revengeful motives, but there
seemed to be no definite basis for such a
belief.
Mr.. W. F. Williams, one of the party,
in his efforts in fighting the flames, was
lost sight of by his companions, and a
rumor was started that he had perished.
Mr.. Williams soon appeared all right,
however.

Statistics of Working Women and Children
in Maine.


in Maine.
The work of preparing the statistics
for the Worlds Congress of 1881 begun.
Portland is the first city of Maine that
Special Agent Mellen Plummer will in
vestigate for the Maine State Bureau.
Investigation will be had in all indus
tries of our city, after which other of the
principal cities will be visited, and it is
expected that Maine will make an envi-
able showing among the states which are
all to adopt this line for 1892.
Mr.. Plummer prepared the article on
the shoe industry in the report of 1891
and doubtless will give us something this
year even better.
According to our laws, the cordial as
sistance of employers is necessary to do
the best work, and as this is an inquiry
into the conditions of working women
and children, it would be well for en-
ployers to remove all obstacles, that a
complete knowledge may be obtained,
and permit Maine to prove herself in the
front rank of progress.
