chewing gum packages 70 q few in the
audience. The singer stepped into an
anteroom, and the other went out tho
door.
Becoming tired Of waiting for the next
act, the children finally stormed the stage,
only to find nobody. When they realized
the swindle, they broke out every win
dow. smashed the chairs and wrought
ruin in every possible way.
A detail Of police came rushing % the
hall. This give the children an idea, for
in body they assailed police headquar-

A year ago and more the collectors

In some places there was resistance

Chile Wants Peace.

New YORK, Jan. 2.-The Herald's
cable from Valparaiso says:
The Valparaiso Herald prints an
authoritative statement of the general,
internal and foreign policy of the gov
ernment of President Montt. Congress
and the cabinet are engaged, it says, in
framing laws which will tranquilize
Chile and will establish the country on
firm basis 1t is the intention of the gov
ernment to do everything in its power to
prove to the world that Chile is the fore
most South American republic. Chile,
it is announced, will never act in any
aggressive manner toward her neighbors
but will always be ready to aid them in
preserving the autonomy and to place
themselves in such position as to be free
from the wild outbursts Of revolution, to
which many of them are now liable. The
idea of war between Argentine Republic
and Chile is said to be absurd. The
latter country will make no bellicose
threats In the judgment of President
Montt war between any South American
republics means ruin to all parties con-
cerned
The Herald correspondent at Buenos
Ayres telegraphs that the people of the
city were alarmed last night by rumors
of an impending revolutionary attempt
to unseat the President. Troops were
under arms, but matters quieted down

Dali New Years in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 To day was
the quietest new year Washington has cx
peIieDced within living memory; not
even the pleasant sunshining weather,
which followed yesterdays rain storm,
could enliven the prevailing dullness.
The white house was not only house of
mourning, but YVES 9uarantlned by reason
of fever infection, consequently there
could have been no presidential reception
had not domestic bereavement prevented.
Cabinet officers and lie eading officials of
the government, of course, followed the
example of the chief executive and the
entire omission Of all the official recep
tions de prven the city Of all the life and
color which brilliant uniforms of the dip
lomatic corps and officers of the army
aud navy usually give to the occasion.
Speaker Crisp being sick, though not
seriously so, Mrs. Crisp did not receive.
At nearly all the leading hotels the Gus
tom which has been observed for many
years by the lady guests of holding re
ceptions in the parlors, was this year
omitted. Very few private residences
kept open house. With all departments
and places of business closed there was
scarcely anything except the the open
bar rooms land restaurants and the closed
churches to distinguish the day from one
ef the dullest of Washington's dull days

VIII Have a Row In Colorado.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 2 2-The indica
tions are that the Colorado Legislature
will not organize without the usual row.
The republicans have small majority
in the house, but the populists and dem
ocrats have been hustiing and claim to-
night that they will organize the body
when it its called to order Wednesday
noon. They claim to have secured the
pledges of two republicans to aid them.
Great interest, however, will centre on
organization of the senate. Of the thirty
eight members. fifteen are republicans,
fifteen are populist and eight democrats,
the latter holding the balance of power.
The probability is there will be three
separate caucuses to morrow afternoon
and evening, and hot time in the digui
fed body from the moment it meets Wed
nesday at noon.

Rioting Among Strikers.

BERLIN, Jaa. 2-The authorities are
considerably agitated by the serious
nature of the strike of the coal miners in
Saar district, and yesterday four battal
lions of the thirty ninth and sixty ninth
regiments and a large force of gen darmes
were ordered to the scene of the disturb
ance. The number of strikers has IN
creased, and now numbers about % 600
Many of them have arms and riotlng is
reported at many points in the district.
The leaders of the strike have forced
thousands to join them who would
have preferred to remain at work. The
authorities have received informant n
that the socialistic orders are behind the
movement. The military are under in
structions to enforce order without
mercy for the rioters and to protect those
who wish to work, and to return to the
mines. The rioters, it is said, will be
suppressed if it takes al army OF troops
to crush them.

secretary Of the interior by the ) t OF
December, 1898. This will be requ red
by appropriation bill now being framed
by the house sub committee OF which
Sayres of Texas is chairman. The clause
providing that the work must be com

The tenth census cost in round numbers
about s., 900 600. and the present one
will cost about So, 100, 900, the increase

Interview With VI. Louhet.

MARsEILLEs, Jan. 2 The Petet Mar
seillaise publishes an interview with NJ.
Loubet as to the attitude of the chamber
towards the Panama canal scandal. NJ.
Loubet says that the chamber rushed
headlong without consideration or pre-
paration into the Panama inquiry. The
deputies seemed suddenly to have lost
their senses and they outbid each other
in over Jealous accusation Doubtless
the scandal was bad enough but the
bad Judgment Of the chamber had fas
tened erroneous conceptions among the
people of its magnitude. Such an ex
cessive outburst of prudency must have
its reaction and thus defeat many Of its
own evils Most extravagant hopes had
been raised among the disloyal parties
by the recklessness shown in TIE cham
Der and the whole fabric Of republican
institutions in France had been endan
gered Unless great care and tact are
exercised constantly in the next few
weeks men who have behaved fanati
cally might have startling proofs of the
errors into which they have fallen anG
caused Others to fall Every offart must
be made to wind up the whole Pauams
affairs before next March in order tha
engagements in connection with the
state debt may be strictly fulfilled.

ARoId and Winning Stroke.

neake and Ohio railroad has made bold
and winning stroke. Quietly for months
it has been securing all the important
ferries on the Ohio and Kanawha rivers
from Charleston to Cincinnati. In addi-
ton it is given out on excellent authority
that it has secured control of every steam
boat line avigating the two rivers, ex
cept the White Collar line, and is nego-
tiating for that. The result is to give
the Chesapeake and Ohio control of 800
miles of magnificent river business. and
affords it the means of harassing any
rival road On the opposite side of the
river, should one appear.
