large as Pittsburg is absurd. 1 cannot see
how it can be done. They are too much of
a necessity. If the street cars were to stop
running, it is safe TO say the attendance at
church would be greatly diminished. I
know it would be in my Congregation, and
it would be more noticeable in,the Pittsburg
churches = .t.
Rev. C. V. Wilson, of the Emory M. e.
Church, of the East End, said: believe
in good Sunday Law, but am not an ex-

screws down too tightly. Law won't make

"I suppose many now church-going per-
sons get their only moral reading from such
paper. 1 can see how paper could be
prepared to do great good in this way. The
laws known as the Blue Laws should be
very carefully revised, and it should be
done soon. 1t is claimed, believe, with
much truth, that unless there is modifica-

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
biaine's Courteous Note to the Unite,
States Minister to ChiIcs

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. S1.--The follow
ing is the text of the cable sent by Blaine,
accepting Chile's propositions for q settle
ment of pending difficulties:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON
TO Eoan, Minister, Sdatiago: / am directed by
the president TO acknow ledge recei pt of Pereiras
dispatch of the 25th inst. Ii has been COM
munieated to congress and has given great
pleasure to the people of the United
states and 70 the executive depart
ment, as it restores the correspondence
between the two countries TO a basis of cor
disilty. and makes, as he believes, full and hon.
oraole adjustment of all difficulties easily at
tainaole. The president notes with qualification
the expressions of regret for and condemnation
OF the assault upon the sailors OF the Baltimore
ano congratuiates the Chilean government upon
the frank and ample withdrawal OF the Malta
circular and upon the spirit of justice displayed
towards Egan.
You will assure the Chilean government that
the president viii be glad to meet in ths
most generous spirit these friendly overtures
Believing the subject of reparation for assault
upon the sailors now capable of adjustment by
the usual diplomatic methods, the president
postpones for the present any discussion of the
suggestion made by Pereira as TO the use of
other methods, not doubling that the sense of
justice of Chile will enable the two govern
ments to make speedy, honorable and full end
OF the whole matter. BLAINE
LONDON, Jan. 3l.-The Santiago corre-
spondent of the Times says: Public opinion
here is satisfied with the procedure of the
government in the dispute with the
United States. The press leaves it to the
United States and other nations to Judge
of the rights and wrongs of the dispute.
The interest now centers on the precedent
which the United States is preparing 20
solemnly lay down for herself and it is a
question whether her further demand
would be such as she herself would be pre-
pared to concede under similar circum-
stances.
Congress has passed a bill authorizing
the president to borrow 5000, 600 to with
draw the note of the Dictatorship. The
session has closed. The minister of finance
informs me that he has arranged to with
draw the bulk of the excess of the judici-
ary circulation.

THROUGH SKULL AND BRAINS.
a 1ounE Hunter Accidentally Shoots
himself in the Head.

TACOMA, Jan. 81. - special. - Anton
Pawlesk, German, aged 20, a moulder's ap-
prentice. was killed this afternoon while
duck hunting on the bay by the accidental
discharge of a double barrel shotgun. The
charge from one OF the barrels struck the
left temple over the eye and blowed q
ragged furrow one and half inches wide
and an inch deep through the skull and
brains to the back of the head. Pawlesk
toppled overheard, upsetting the boat and
throwing his companions, Frank and
George Fechter, aged IA and 10, into the
water.
Fechter clung to the overturned skiff,
Pawlesk's body floating with the tide All
were rescued. Pawlesk lived three hours,
but did not regain consciousness.
A doctor and priest were summoned,
when he was taken to his parents home.
1,34 Railroad street, and everything pos
siDle was done to resuscitate him. Anton
had three younger brothers, and was the
principal support of his parents, always
giving them all his earnings. Sundays he
usually spent hunting. Today he had
just sighted some ducks and was pulling
the gun up from the bottom of the boat by
the muZzle. He was in the bottom of the
boat leaning forward, and it is supposed
the hammers of the gun caught on rib
OF the skiff. His parents were wild with
grief. There will be no inquest

PARIS, Jan. 3i.-According to advices
from st. Petersburg, the car intends to
initiate measures for the restoration of
serfdom among the peasants. The reports
from many district officials concur in the
statement. The increase in population in
the villages is so great that the land be-
longing to the local communes is insuffi-
cient to support all the members. The
government, with view of remedying the
evil, proposes to allot to the peasants vast
tracts of land under considerations sim
liar to that of serf tenure. One
third of the harvest is to be stored
In communal magazines for the support of
the peasants, one-third to be retained for
the payment of government taxes. The
peasants will not be allowed to move from
their communes, but will be bound to the
soil and obliged to fulfill the contracts with
the state. The system will be first applied
to the provinces of Samara and Saratoff,
and if successful, will be extended ali over
the empire

AN EMBEzzLER ESCAPES.
Hyer, Aided by His Wife, Slips From
His Captor.

JERSEY CRY, N. j., Jan. 31.-A dispatch
was received here from Detective Dalton
announcing that William Hyer. the en-
bezzler, escaped from his custody in the
sleeping car at Pittsburg early this morn
ing. Hyer was being returned from San
Francisco on requisition after protracted
legal fight. 1t is said that Hyer's wife was
on the train and assisted him to escape.
Dalton is severely criticised for not having
another officer with him TO look after his
prisoner.
Detective Dalton reached Jersey City to-
night superintendent of Police Smith.
Chief Murphy and number of city detec-
tives we're awaiting him. Mrs Hyer was
aboard the car and was met by her
brother, whom she embraced affection
ately. She looked fearful but triumphant
and was evidently rejoiced at her hus-
bands clever escape.
He's got away" said Dalton to Chief
Murphy; "he left the train about O'Clock
this morning."
Dalton's story is as follows: Hyer and
wife gave me no trouble. They seemed
confident of fighting the case successfully
in the courts here, and there is not one man
IN hundred who would not have trusted
him. For two days compelled Hyer TO
wear handouts. but took them off when
convinced that be meant to treat me right

train was then at Alliance, o., 40 miles

clothes were gone and knew what had hap

her husband was. She said: "Ain't he
with your" and pretended to be surprised.
Hyer must have got out Of the car window,
as saw where his feet had scratched the
paint. | sent message TO the chief of
police at Pittsburg by an uniformed officer
at the depot, and also notified the detec-
tives along the line of Hyer's escape and
offered reward for his capture.
Dalton claims to be physically exhausted
and certainly looks like a sick man.

THE sALvATIoNIsTs MoBBkp.
Eastbourne Roughs Capture the Flag
of the Army.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-There was rioting In
Eastbourne today, caused by the Salya-
ton army holding a special celebration to
commemorate the founding of the corns.
After the usual morning service the Sal
vationlsts marched through the streets un-
der police protection and were disturbed
only by running comments and chaff from
the crowds on the sidewalks.
In the afternoon the mob rapidly COL
lected at the Salvation Army citadel, and
as the soldiers" filed out they were sub
jected to more chaff, accompanied by sing
ing of ribald parody, yelling and hoot-
ing. Several hundred well-dressed men
formed the corps, twenty abreast, surging
up, followed by the Army, to the beach,
where it was proposed to hold the meet
ing. Along the whole route windows, bal
comics, and even carriages in the street,
were filled with citizens and visitors watch
ing the scene.
A huge army awaited the army at the
sea front. The police had great difficulty
in clearing a way for the soldiers" who
had to cling tenaciously to their instru-
ments and flags, without daring even to
attempt to play note.
AS soon as the service began the mob
swept down upon the army, shouting,
''Throw them into the sea-"
The forces of the police were augmented
and they behaved most creditably, resist
ing rush after rush, although nearly over
powered by numbers. The Salvationists
were pelted with pebbles by their foes
through the hour they remained on the
beach. When the services ended the
members of the army commenced
their return march. They formed
for the parade with the utmost
difficulty, their assailants making frequent
rallies but failing to capture the Saliva
tionists' flag. Desperate hand to hand
encounters with policemen were continued.
A few clergymen and soldiers were pres
ent but held aloof.
When the struggling crowd reached
point opposite the Burlington hotel, the
police having become exhausted, another
rush was made and proved successful. The
flag was seized and torn into shreds. Caps
were torn from the heads of the Saliva
tionists and tossed into the air or
kicked into the roadway. Some frail
looking lasses swooned from pain and
fright and were nearly trampled upon.
The scene of violence continued till the
army retreated into the citadel" and even

into collision with the police. Several
Salvationists were badly injured and their
uniforms were all spoiled.
PARIS Jan. 31.-A band of the members
of the Salvation Army met with highly
hostile reception on the Boulevard des
Italiens here today. There were a num-
her of scuffies between the roughs and the
Salvationists. The mob encoura ed the
a.saults, kissing and hooting and harrass-
ing the band.

tain Clarke and men from the missing
steamtug Webster, who arrived here Fri
day night, are still on board the schooner
which rescued them. The men state that
they dropped anchor when the hawser

was all the men could do TO

worked in ice-cold water, endeavor
ing keep the pump clear but the weather
was so cold and so much ice formed that
the pumps were clogged. After the coal
was exhausted all available wood work
was used, This soon gave out and they
were az the mercy of the waves and were
much falgued from cold and hunger. At
the time they were rescued the tug was
nearly full Of water, and would not have
foated much longer. All the rescued men
had their hands and feet badly fro zen.

fuses. He threw them in the river and
started back to arm himself and prepare
