WAsmtNGToN, Nov. 0 - Minister
Cana of Chill, says concerning the re-
ports that the President and Vice presi.
dent of the Gillian Senate have re-
signed as result of the conversion
laws, that the laws direct the payment
in gold of the paper money or notes
issued in 1879.
The notes were somewhat similar to
the American greenback, but were
issued wholly on the faith Of the govern
ment and not converted into coin. it
was found that the exchanges were
badly affected by the unsecured notes,
so that the CHILEAN Congress passed a
law making them convertible into gold
in July, 1896.
AT present an element in Chilli is
urging that the date of the conversion
shall not be put off until 1896, and it is
on this question that the Senate officers
have resigned, according TO unofficial
advices. Senior Cana says the President
and vice-President of the Senate are
elected monthly, in order to keep them
responsive TO the sentiments of that
body.
Minister Cana learns from his country
that the Mining Exposition in progress
there is very successful, although the
United States exhibits are not all that
could have been wished. The German
and British exhibits are elaborate, the
former being aided by the German gov
ernment. .-..
Concerning the amnesty laws of Chill,
recently announced through the State
Department, Senior Cana says that they
are much broader than has been under
stood. They cover all persons in any
way charged with political offences
during the Balmaceda regime, or subse-
quent thereto. This will have the
effect, the minister says, of inducing
many persons to return to Chill.

ON CALAIS SANDS.
Andrew Lang.


On Calais sands the gray began,
Then rosy red above the gray,
The morn with many a scarlet van
Leaped, and the world was glad with
May.
The little waves along the bay
Broke white upon the shelving strands.
The sea news fitted white as they
On Calais sands.
On Calais sands must man with man
Wash honor clean in blood to-day;
On spaces wet from water wan
How white the flashing rapiers play,
Parry, riposte and lunge! The fray
shifts for awhile, then mournfuI stands
The victor; life GIBBS fast away
On Calais sands.
On Calais sands n little space
Of silence, then the plush and spray,
The sound of the eager waves that ran
=, 10 kiss the perfumed locks astray,
10 touch these lips that meier said NAY"
To dolly with the helpless hands
Till the deep sea in silence lay
On Calais sands.
Between the lilac and the Nav
She waits her love from alien lands.
Her love is colder than the clay
On Calais sands.

stances That seon Very Suspicious.
MONTEREY, MEX, Nov. 5.--Considerable
commotion has been created among the
Americans of this city by the arrest of
John Horley, under orders from Mexico
City, the result of some old charge hang
ing against him in Illinois some 10 Yeas
ago.
1t is stated that the cause of the charge
against him being revived against him at
this late day is due TO the part he took in
having Suttler of Austin extradited.
Another sensation was caused by the
arrest of DR.. S. j. Curry, said to be from
Rome, Ca, ostensibly for his connection
with a recent street row between two
Americans, but it is generally understood
that this is only a pretext to hold him for
further adviceS from his old home.

altogether misplaced.
WOULD PLUCK THE cucKoos CLEAN.
For the prosecution the testimony of
the witnesses was lively amt interesting.
especially that OF Mrs. Pitts, a sharp-faced
woman in black nuDia from beneath the
front OF which stood out pompadour
roll of sanctilied red hair. Her sharp
tongue cleared the air for Prosecutor
Fletcher, who at the opening of the after
noon session began his argument for the
commonwealth.
No such case he said, had ever before
been tried in Virginia. Its filth was
aboniinable. There is bird called the
cuckoo that lays its eggs in other birds
nests, and he appealed to the jury to cut
off the wings and pull out the tail feathers
OF the twu-by-two cuckoo. He rehearsed
the testimony ana summed 1t up in a
plain taiS, whereof the effect upon the
lury was marked. He quoted the words
OF the true Christ, applying them to the
false Messiah OF GhilCOteaguB: Woe unto
you scrbes and Pharisees, hypocrites !"
and then he added You compass land
and sSr to make "A proselyte. and when he
IS made you make him IwO'fold more Il
child OF hell than yourselves"
HIS PLEA For SISTER SADIE.
Spadey then got up. His oratory is of
the iorceful and electrical sort. lie
splashed in regardless, laying himself open
to counter shots time and again, yet pre-
serving his general conference and doing
the level best of great peuder in a small
cause. His analysis Of the adverse testi-
mony was specious and snappy.
His concluding plea for mercy to Sister
Sadie was resonant and pathetic. Para
phrasing the SavIor's words in behalf of
the adulterous woman, he pleaded that all
OF those indicted save Lynch might be
permitted to go to their island homes,
where the oceans roar is the baby's
lullaby"
But the jury had already made up its
mind. II took the case at 4.4O. and soon
returned with the following verdict;
Guilty us to Lynch. Sister Sadie, Mrs.
5. q. Collins and William J.. Chandler;
not guilty, as to John L. Collins"
THE SENTENCES.
Lynch, eight months IN jail aud fine $3.50.
Mrs. ). Il, Collins and Sister Sadie, four
months in inll and fine 800.
Chandler, six months III Jail and fine
| $3.50.

The Explanation of Mysterious Murder
in Tacoma, Wash.

TT III IHUUIfIIIF WINNIE
TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 6.-About day
light the lifeless body of Matthew A.
Bartlett, wcll-known young man, was
found on the sidewalk by a newsboy.
His right ear was bruised and his nose
bloody, but he bore no other marks of
violence,t though papers from his pockets
were scattered. His watch was un-
touched.
The theory is generally advanced that
Bartlett was murdered for knowing too
much about the mysterious death of
Accountant Joseph Shade, at the Stella.
COON Asylum last month. Some claimed
then that Shade was poisoned, though
subsequent investigation seemingly
refuted the claim.
