Charges That 1t VIII Adopt a Policy
Of Political Vengeance.

Valparaiso. Chile (via Galveston, TeX),
July AT the deputies session Monday
night the full cabinet attended for the first
time since It's election.
0rrego Luco. minister OF the Interior,
repeated the government program already
read To the senate MaCiver, of the Ratf-
Gals, made a scathing speec h in answer t"
Minister Luco. He said the new ministry
did not represent a political party, but
was simply a presidential ministry OF sec
retaries serving a political leader. The
actual ministry, he stated, would follow
in the wake If its predecessor, w hich was
initiated with the administration Of Pres
ident ErraZuriZ, in September, 1896. The
new ministry was presenting the armed
sword % vengeance for its political OPP
poncnts on the one hand and prizes for
victorious partisans on the other.
Alderman Leiva stated at Monday
lights municipal session that he had been
informed that a delegation representing
several thoUsar q workmen had been sent
to interview the consul from Brazil on the
possibility OF oolonizing Chileans in some
districts OF Brazil, there being no pros

Convention TO Organize 1t In St.
Louis Next Month.

st Louis, July There will be a con-
vcntiou in this city August 25, which
proriiSes to be pt more than usual interest
tn Politicians OF every political faith. The
cal, has just been sent ont by Col. a. =.
Sellers, one of the most prominent OIL
Gals of the American Protective Associa-
ton, for the organization OF new political
party.
The call is authorized by a committee
consisting of one or more delegates frUIn
every State and Territory in the United
States IL sets forth the claim that the
Government of the people, for the people
and by the people is being supplanted by a
union of the dominating influences of the
old political parties with the corporations
aud trusts, and that the time has arrived
for the free-thinking citizens to step In
and declare their Independence of the
corporate yoke
Among other things, the call urges i'm
mediate action toward the formation OF a
new American party, embracing a ma
tional individual republican form of gov
ernment with an autonomy of its own, and
Invested Of all the primitive and barharous
conditions OF the world that have con-
spired in the past to enslave the oonscienCe
and political life Of mankind.

The great coal strike is on, but the
impression grows that the West vir-
ginia miners will not join. Three
fGurths Of the Pittsburg district men
are out. The operators appear to have
anticipated trouble and have laid by
a considerable advance stock OF coal. I'm
less West Virginia and Illinois should strike

in the way Of short supplies for months to
come. The least comfortable phase of the
situation is the condition OF affairs through
out the coal mining districts OF Ohio. A
very ugly feeling is reported, and the au-
thorites have been asked for troops at a
number % places. At latest accounts it
was estimated that 1 sc, 600 miners wereon

| that their brains were wrecked by scan
dalous dissipa ton, midnight orgies, and ex-
cessive gambling. or course, these stories
are occasonaily borne out by facts. Actors
are human people, and not all saints; but
there are people who say that an entirely
different cause should be assigned for these
melancholy deaths.
In the case of John Mccullough and
one ~ two other noted actors there was
hereditary insanity in the family, and the
family had not been play-actors in pre-
vious generations, either. If, as has often
been said, great genius is to madness
near alhed," the predsposition to insanity
may have something to do with the pc
culiar briIliancy of the actors genius
but an insane man, or even one with tenn
permanent incl!ning that way, would have
a hard time in achieving success i'm many

calm and equally sustained effort.
The majority Of these sad cases among
and especially among comedians Of humble
origin, who have risen to fame with a
meteoric swiftness; men who have been
laborers, Jig dancers under the street
lamps, bootblacks, variety show singers,
everything, inshort. which commands hard
work ami small pay, and does not require
much education. Now, If you can imagine
a cart horse, even cart horse of con
siderable intelligence, taken out of the
or made TO trot at his highest speed with
out any training, that horse would be likely
TO die, and he would die, not from his own
normal variety OF overwork, but from
oveTwork of n kind 10 which he and his
ancestors were not accustomed. You do
not hear OF men whose fathers and mothers
were brought up TO stage life dying Of
paresis or becoming insane, any oftener
than you hear OF such cases in the ordinary
OF the stage de.lare. They say that it was
not dissipation but success which ruined
these goodfellows OF the footlights. TWAS

Columbia's Next Comedy,

taking title, and it belongs to Waiter

will be the bill Mt the Columbia Theater

Innocence" in farce is always fun max
ing quality, and If the lamb is not him

is sure to furnish plenty of amusement
For Others W no delight to harry the meek
and inoffensiye animal of this name That
the present piece deserves its title is
proved by its success both In England
where Fred Terry ran it W hole season,
and in America, where Roland Reed used
it as a vehicle for his most successful
starring tour Therefore, it has been
tried and tested thoroughly.
In the Columbia production that unctuous
comedian, James o. Barrows, who has be-
come almost the seasons favorite for his
varied but always amusing ifnpersona-
tions of variety of comic roles, VIII fill

dict that he will fill them completely AS
a matter OF fact the lamb in this play
is not as innocent as he might be, but
his efforts to convince other prople that
butter would not melt in his mouth, so to
speak, are both successful and funny. The
chubby and cherIb-faced Jimmy Barrows
has already proved his ability in some what
similar roles, and 1T may be expected that
he w i'll make the most of this almoststellar
opportunity.
