CHILL WILL BE THERE.

A GOLDEN APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE EX-
 HIBiT OF HER RESOURCES AT ATLANTA.
 ATLANTA, March 14.-Gen. Isaac w. Avery, one of the three special commis- sioners of the Cotton States and Interna- tional ex position now in South America, informs the Constitution from Santiago, ClFili, that the government has made a preliminary appropriation of $10, ,000 in gold toward making an exhibit of it's re- sources at the exposition in Atlanta this fall. The ChilaD government has just ad- journed aud will reassemble In May, when II will make larger appropriation for the purpose of carrying out the work to be be- gun with the SIC, GOO in gold already appro- priated.
 General Avery writes that in most of the South American countries he has encoun- tered considerable opposition among cer- tain business clements, which saw DO good in encouraging closer trade relations with the United States, which they argued would benefit the United States at the loss of the business interests of the South American countries
 ''rhis opposition, says General Avery, 'has been silently aggressive and inhuen- and 1t hes been especially strong in these larger and wealthier countries, but 1t has gradually yielded to the true consideration that the interest with established facilities must take the cream of all new busi ess created by this undertaking Of the United States, aLd that without proposing to in- terfere with the great business interests of South America, our people now come in with spirit of liberal rivalry to aid in the work of development and to give as they take.''
 The newspapers of Chiii have been very active In urging an appropriation, and lending chambers of commerce have advo- cated it.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March IA. -LCor- respondence of the United Press per steamer Arawa, Honolulu, March 7.I-- w. A. Kinney, late judge advocate of the military commission, goes to San Fran cisco today by the Arawa to present testi- mony in behalf of the Hawaiian govern m ant in the case against the schooner H. c. Wahlberg, which brought arms for the rebels from San Francisco. He is accom- panied by George Townsend and Charles Warren us witnesses. These are the men who were specially employed by Major Seward in communicating with the schooner on her arrival. Warren re- maIned aboard the schooner several days while waiting for the Waimaulo to inter- cept her at sea.
 William Dlvis, the then master of the steamer Waimaualo, also goes by the Arawa a, his sentence of ten years' impris- on m ent being suspended on condition Of bis leaving the country for good. He gave i'm portant testimony in several cases. Da- wis is the prisoner who was absurdly re- ported by San Francisco paper to have been tortured.
 The ex- queen has, after all, refused to lease her Washingt palace property. Ap- parenty she hopes soon to return there. The government feels the necessity of sepa- rating her from the access of the native popu Iation, who would instinctivey pay homage to her as a sfmi-divine parsonage.
 The Hawaiian Ann eXation league are vlg- usly periectng and extending their or ganiZation. They expect soon to enroll most of the natives in the organization.
 The royalist ladies' movement for wear ing convict stripes inateriallzed yesterday in dresses and hats of such material worn by two women in front of the prison. The priaci pal lady was the well-known consort Of a leading rebel. Her example is not likely to lend lustre to tue movement.

 CITIZENS WOUNDED.
 Mrs. Kurt, who lived next to the barracks on the south was painfully wounded in the leg, and her 3.year-old child was shot in the face, the ball going into the cheek and passing through the mouth. The Atlanta 5 surgeons extracted the ball from Mrs. Kurt s leg.
 Two other women and little boy were wounded by balls passing through the houses. Noae of these are badly injured. The steamship Premier is expected from Colon at any moment with reinforcements for the government troops. General Garza was supposed to have about eighty men.

 NEW ORLEANS, March 4.-Judge King of the civil district court rendered his de- cision this morning in the impeachment proceedings against Mayor Fitzpatrick, which he has had under advisement since the arguments were heard some weeks ago. The opinion of the court is lengthy and comprehensive, and deals with the case thoroughly. It commences by telling how the trial was one which had been watched with considerable interest by the public, and that it was case of vital interest then. It also stated that on the result of the trial depended considerable for the respondent, 6 muct of his future character would de- pend upon it.

 LOW PRICES.
 BERLIN, March 1.-The Reichsanzeiger says the council of state has decided to postpone voting upon the grain monopoly proposals of Count KanitZ until the end of the session, in order to enable the special committee to consider the various proposals which the motion has suggested. The Reichsan zsiger declares the sugar proposals as virtually adopted.
 .'fhe low price of sugar,' it says, "is caused by overproduclion, and fighting the crisis by international means is inn possible. Improvement in the market price of the world can be effected only by means of small harvests or limitation of the production. Germany is large over- producer, and improvement is possible for Germany outside of improvement in the market price for the world only by an in- crease of the export bounty. If such ap increase is determined upon 1t will also be necessary to prevent overproduction."

WA6HIEGToN, March 14.-At noon today the Spanish minister, Senor Muruaga, had received no reply from tue captain general of Cuba regarding firing upon the Ameri eau steamer Allanca by Spanish gun toit on the 8th instant. Senor Muruaga is satisfied that the momeutthe captain of the gunboat makes his report to the captain general it will be in turn forwarded to the minister. When this report is received it will be at once laid before Secretary Gresham in order that he may be made &C., quainted with the Spanish side of the case, which will then be carefully investigated.
 Senor Muruaga reports that Captain sGrossman of the Allianca did not stop when the Spanish gunboat fired a shot across her bow. Had he done so and nothing of an discriminating nature been found in his cargo he would have had a strong claim against the Spanish government. Being so close to the Cuban Shores and still refusing to stop the captain of the gun boat naturally assumed that his presence In the vicinity was so suspicious as to demand inyestiga- ton and consequently took the action that he did.
 Martial law has been in force in Cuba for month, and in view of the aid which has been promised the insurgents in the island from American sources, the Spanish au- thorities naturally look with distrust upon the movements of ali vessels lowering about their coast.
 Senor Muruaga has received no informa- ton that secret store of arms and ammu- nition, destined for use by the Cuban in- surgents, has been discovered near Savan- nah, Ga. The Spanish consul at Savannah would undoubtedly have communicated with the minister if there had been any foundation for the story.

What Fools These Laborers Be.

A few days ago 100000 laborers pa
raded the streets Of the City Of Mexico,
with banners and music, demanding to
be led against Guatemala. There is a
dispute between Mexico and Guate-
mala about piece of swamp which
probably isn't worth 10 cents per acre,
and whose ownership could easily be
settled by resurvey or arbitration. 1t
has never done the laborers of either
country any good, and never will. Yet
these 100000 Mexican laborers parade
the streets, clamoring for war! Is it
any wonder that tyrants, in so many
shapes, rule the people when we see
that the people themselves are such
fools? The kings quarrel, and the peo-
pie do the fighting-that's the history
Of mankind. Here we are pretending
to be civilized. Almost 1900 years Of
Christ and his gospel of peace have
been our teachers, and yet we turn out,
100000 strong, with banners flying,
drums beating, and horns tooting-de-
handing to ba led against bayonets
and bullets to settle the boundary line
of a wretched wilderness Of swamp! No.
wonder our masters despise us-Tom

clans who are sent to Congress or who
become members of the cabinet are not
capable of mastering the intricacies of
the banking business"
Something occult about the banking
business, isn't there? Ordinary NOR
tails can't comprehend this idea Of get
ting in debt for thousands Of dollars.
and then drawing interest on your
debts while you pay none on what you
owe! This business Of cornering money
and compelling people to pay you big
rate for the loan on your credit or your
promissory notes, is indeed a puzzle.
Yes, 1t is a very peculiar and "intri-
cate" business-almost as hard to I'M
derstand as three-card monte or the
she'll game. AS politicians and repre-
sentatives Of the people are incapable
of comprehending it, the only safe
course is to give the bankers the power
TO frame our currency laws. As they
are now, the money power is able to
control about everything; but there
may be some points in which the bank
ers could improve these laws. and
make it easier to rake in the fruits Of
others labor.
How nice If the common people could
only be made to believe such stuff
that finance is matter utterly beyond
their comprehension, and it would be
safer for them to try to legislate on the
tides and the law of gravitation than
to tamper with the currency. Wouldn't
the fellows on the inside who under
stand all the 'intricacies" of getting
something for nothing by hocus-pocus-
ing the money supply have a picnic?
If money were something the people
could take or let alone; If the law
didn't make it legal tender and COM
pei them to pay their debts in it; II it
wasn't the only means by which they
can conveniently and economically
effect the exchanges Of their products,
then it might be safe to pass the sub
ject by as too intricate for ordinary
mortals. But, as it is largely by means
Of their manipulation of the money
supply that the few are able to rob the
many of the fruits of their toll, it be-
hooves every man to study the money
questions and understand all the
devious and Intricate" methods by
which wealth uses money to Cypress
and defraud labor. And about the
first question to ask these masters Of
the "intricacies" of banking is: Why
should one mans debt circulate as
money and draw interest rather than
another Star and Kansan.

Mayor Schieren. with many OF his fellow citizens
Of Brooklyn. believes that the Brooklyn Heights
Railroad Company had some hidden understand
ing with the Bridge trustees as to the use OF
the costly plaza the company wants to spoil
with car-stands. Many people believe that the
company had an actual and pernicous agree

When the Mayor said that no one could foresee
the result Of track-aying on the plaza until the
building material there was removed. Mr.. Ros-
sitter said he could have 1t taken away IN three
or four days. This surprised Mayor Schieren
who had been told by President Howell and

plaza could not be cleared then.
The recent developments In Bridge manage
ment affairs. and the disclosures Of the twofold
capacitv in which Trustees Howell and keeney
