On the move —Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, after Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have done their work. It’s a healthy movement, too —a natural one. The organs are not forced into activity one day, to sink back into a worse state the next. They're cleansed and regulated—mild- ly and quietly, without wrench- ing or griping. One tiny, sugar-coated Pellet is all that’s needed as a gentle laxative; three to four act as a cathar- tic. They're the smallest, cheapest, the easiest to take. Sick Headache, Bilious Head- ache, Constipation, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks, and all de- rangements of the Liver, Stomach and Bowels are promptly relieved and cured.

Careless Ball Playing by the Senators— ‘The Team to Be Strengthened. The Senators threw a game away yesterday afternoon after they had won it from Balti more and altogether they managed to give as clever an exhibition of how not to play ball as could be wanted. The result was a particular disapointment to the crowd, inasmuch as the home team started in to win, and would have done so had they not gone all to pieces and done things on the field that any nine of amateurs would have been ashamed of. The score was 12 to 8 in favor of Baltimore, whereas it should have been 6 to 4 in favor of Washing- ton. The fault lay largely with Davis, who played third base like an over-gro does not know what to do with his hands. McQuery also did his share of stupid playing. losing his head and his nerve at two critical points und holding the ball instead of throw: ithome to catch the runner. Hatfield muffed an easy ball and this set the thing going. HOW IT WAS DONE. The hitting on both sides was fair. Beecher distinguished himself by making » tremend- ous hit into left center on which he made the circuit of the bases, a clean infield home run. Werden led for Baltimore, with three hits and 2 total of five bases, as a result of which he batted in five runs for Baltimore without scor- ing once himself. ‘The batteries were Carsey and McGuire and Cunningham and Townsend for six innings ‘and McMabon and Robinson for the other three. Carsey did splendid wor! keeping the hits of the enemy wel scattered. He deserved much better sup- port than he received, but, to his credit it should be said, he did not seem to loose heart ‘at the rank work of the men around him, but stood it out manfully and pitched his best game to the end. Cunningham was a fair mark for Washington and had he been kept in the box until the end of the game the result might have been different. McMahon was a terror for the Senators and pulled out the vic- tory. ‘Two runs were scored for Washington in the first inning on « base on bails by Hatfield, a sacrifice by Beecher, a single by Visner and a double hit by Davis. Another one resulted in the second on a base on balls to Smalley, a long passed ball and a sacrifice by Carsey. One more in the third gave the home team a good lead, ag Baltimore could not score in the mean- time. This run was made on a single by Visner, n sacrifice by Davis and a two-bagger by Mc- juery. storm PLarrso. The Statesmen had been playing great ball. In the second Davis, Hatfield and McQuery ex- ecuted adouble play in the best style, and in the third McQuery end Hatfield dideven better | on another. In fourth the visitors made upidity. Van Haltren hit to right, but kept on to home when the ball, being fielded in’ by Viener and Smalley, bounded over Davis’ head to the foul fence, no one being behind him to stop it. After two men were ont Johnson went to first on balls and the next two men hit safely. Two runs were the result of the inning. ‘The fifth wasa terror. It was in this inning that Beecher made his long hit, and after he did so Davis hit for two bases and McGuire for the same length, and two runs were scored in the inning. Baltimore was not satisfied with less than six tallies, all unearned. Hatfield @ fly very near the pitcher. Davis let atoll ga by bin ca Neca lation al Soto tea Wise went to first on balls and Kay sacrificed. Jobnson hit down into the infield and sal to hot get a Gilbert's third at first because Mc- Query did not touch him on the throw-down in his haste to get the sphere back to the plate. With the bases full Werden hit to left ceuter for three bases. UP axD Down. The Statesmen had great Inck after this piece of razsle-dazzle work in the sixth inning. Two men were out when Beecher was hit an Visner and Davis went to first on balls. Mc- Query hit to third-short and two runs resulted from Gilbert's error. Baltimore did not score, and the inning left the tally tied. Baltimore made one in the seventh. With Ray out John- son went to first on balls and stole. Gilbert | struck out and Werden hit to right for a buse. Visner fielded the bal! badly and the run was tallied. In the eighth Baltimore made three more and made the game sure. Smalley let MeMahon’s grounder carom off his finger and Welch was hit. Van Haltren sucritied and Wise made a single. Ray struck out and Johnson puta small one over Carsey’s head for a base.

STRENGTHENING THE TEAM. The directors of the home club are making | earnest efforts to strengthen the team. As was stated in Tue Stax yesterday Dowd of Boston has been signed and will probably play in to- morrow's game with the Athletics. Davis has done such ‘poor work at third that his services are of little value to the team, although he has hit the ball once or twice. He has a bad fielding record, having stood last in the list of third basemen in the American Association last year. He seems to have retained his reputa- tion by managing to. bit outa safe one occa- monally. His place st third will be taken by Alvord or by Kuebne, both of whom are on the string. Alvord has been on the pay roll of Cleveland for the past few weeks. He was thought to be the equal of Tebeau, but the Cleveland ma ment preferred not to let Te- bean, go, and ‘a ivord was destined to play on If he sccepte terms offered by Washington he will be signed, Cleveland bay- ing released him for that purpose, for a consid- eration. He played third for Toledo last year, standing fourth among the association third basemen. He « batting record im 120 games of .288, and a fielding record of .879, fur above Davis. He stole twenty-two bases and made thirty-six sacritice hits. Dowd is young and ambitious, He played with Harvard last year, but had been secured by Boston this spring to play in case Stricker should not be found. He was relessod, out.

Completed. ‘The investigation that is being made by the census office to ascertain the private recorded indebtedness of the country, as represented by mortgages on farms and homes, is regarded as one of the most important ever attempted by the census office. The investigation covers such a multitude of details that it will be some time yet before the results can be made known. In the case of the states of Alabama and Iowa the work has been finished, and today a bulle- tin was issued givimg the results as to those two states. Not only is the total number of mortgages and the money represented by them in the entire te given, but also for each county in the state and for each year from 1880 to 1889. A further division is also carried out through the tables, which show the number of mortgages and their value on acres and on lots, thus ena- bling one at « glance to determine the farm in- debtedneasae distinguished from that ou ci town lots. ‘The tables given show that in Ala~ bama the total existing real estate mortgage in- dabtedness is €89,027,083, of which ®28.462,98 or 73.70 per cent of the total, {x on acres and 265,506, oF 26.30 per on ‘The per capita indebtedness of the state in $24. The total existing real estate mortgage in- debtedness of Iowa is 199,084,956, 74.77 per cent of which, or §148,814,645, is on’ acres and 25.283 per cent, or 50,320,811, on lots. The chief ra buma is represented to have been 8 mt, the recorded debt of the ten years having borne that rate being 63.60 per cent of the total. The amount bearing in- was 4.57 per cent of the total; the amount bear- ing interest at 12 and 12.5 per cent was 6.25 per cent of the total. Of the total recorded debt of $01,000,629, 11.49 per cent drew interest above 10 per cent and 88.51 per cent drew in- terest at 10 per cent or less. Above 8 per cent .all interest is usurious, and has been so during ‘ten years previous to January 1, 189. Usu- rious rates are, or wore, actually paid on 13.61 per cent of the recorded debt. Interest at 8 per cent is, or was, paid on 48.60 per cent of the debt of Lowa recorded durin the ten years; interest at‘7 per cent on 21.91 per cent of the total: interest at 10 per cent on 28 per cent of the total; interest at 6 per t on 12.88 per cent of the total; interest above 10 per cent on 0.02 of 1 per cent of the total, and interest at 10 per cent and less on 99.98 per cent of the total, The legal limit to the rate of interest is 10 per cent and has been so for ten years, CONFINED TO REAL ESTATE MOBTOAGES. Messrs. George K. Holmes and John S. Lord, the special agents jn charge of this investiga tion, in some prefatory remarks relative to the scope of the investigation state that the in- vestigation has been confined to real estate mortgages because the cost of inciuding other evidences of private recorded indebiedness would create an expense too great to be borne by the appropriation for the entire census. Then, also, it would be difficult to secure evidence of this class of indebtedness near enough to the truth to warrant the attempt. For these reasons it is stated crop liens, me- chanics’ liens, Judgments by process of law and chattel mortgages have been excluded. ‘The word mortgages as used in the bulletin in- cludes all forms of this character known variously as deods of trust, bond, vender's liens, &c. The debt owed by’ corporations has also been excluded and that upon county fair grounds, church buildings and the land on which they stand. The number of special agents and detailed office clerks employed in the field was 716 for four to five months. They were mostly lawyers, law students and real estate agents, the remainder being merchants, editors, reporters, physicians, clergymen, clerks, teachers and farmers and four women. About’ 1.500 clerks were employed by these special agents. THE RATE OF INTEREST. The fact most difficult to obtain has been the rate of interest. ‘Throughout the south, west beyond the Mississippi river and to some ex- tent elsewhere the records commouly do not disclose the actual rates of interest borne by real estate mortgages, and soon after the field work began it wus necessary to instruct special agents to return actual rates, if these were us- certainable, or, if not, to return customary, rates. Everywhere mortgages are found that refer to promissory notes or other instruments for mention of rates. Chiefly in the south and west the contract often states that the debt is without interest or mentions lower rate than the true one, the fact being that the debtor has not received the full equivalent of the apparent principal. These are called “stutied” mort- gages, and, as it is difficult toidentify these mort- gages if they meution some rate in the con- tract, itis probable that many of them have Deen'taken to the full amount of the inflated principal. In all cases where they were iden- tied the principal was reduced’ to ths true amount and the rate of interest increased cor- Fespondingly. =In some counties in the south farmers give Mortgages to merchants to secure future ad- vances of supplies, and although these mort- gages state that they are free of interest or bear a low rate, yet as a matter of fact at least the ordinary rate of interest is charged in the prices of the goods ‘sold. The customary rate wg been adopted in such cases. he in mortgage is, common between north of Arkansas and the Indian territory. It | generally represents an addition to the annual rate of from 2 to 4 percent. For instance: When a loan of £1,000 for five yeurs is mude a first mortgage is given for $1,000 at 7 per cent and asecond mortgage for $150 without in- terest, representing 3 per cent of the principal yearly, and going to the negotiator of the loan, jaf not to the lender. Special agents were int ucted not to return these second mortgages as principal, but to convert them into addi- tions to the ‘apparent rates of interest borne by the first mortgages. ‘The aim has been to get facts in all cases where the mortgages mis- Tepresented or concealed them. —————___. THE BOMBARDMENT OF IQUIQUE. Protest of Representatives of Foreign Gov- ernments Against It. Just how much trouble the Chilian revolu- tlonists got themselves into when their fleet bombarded Iquique is not at present apparent, but the probubilities point toward immediate action by several foreign governments. Fol- lowing are copies of the dispatches sent the various consuls at Iquique by the ministers at Santiago: The German minister telegraphed his subordinate: “Have a mutual understand- ing with the British consul and protest ener- getically against any hostile acts of the fleet against Iquique as contrary to the law of nations.” Minister Castelli of Italy wired: “I know through the government that the insurgent fleet threatens to bombard Iquique tomorrow at 12 o'clock. Enter your protest, adhering to those of your colleagues." MINISTER EGAN's INSTRUCTIONS. United States Consul Eyre received the fol- lowing from Minister Patrick Egan: just ascertain that the revolutionary flect intends the bombardment of Iquique tomorrow at noon. In the name of the United States enter | your most energetic protest against such an outrage.” The British consul was thus instructed by Minister Kennedy: “I just know that the fleet intends bombarding Tquique tomorrow noon. Protest energetically.” The French minister also added his voice, instructing his consul to protest energetically against the bombardment of an “open” town. ‘But the bombardment went on. INSURGENTS’ PROPERTY Not CONYISCATED. It has been stated by friends of the Chilian insurgents that the Chilian government con- fiseated the property of thoso engaged in the rebellion. A gentleman in the diplomatic serv- | ice, thoroughly conversant with the facts, says | most emphatically that the Chilian government | has not taken any such action; it has only for- | bidden the transfer or mort of the in- surgents’ real estate because le to as | of indemnity, The gov- sessment for peeposse | ernment has directed tho registrars at Valpa- | raiso not to enter upon the. records any trans fers of property belouging to the more pi nent rebels; these are named in the order, THE PRESIDENT AT EL PASO. Friendly Relations With in @ Heartily Applauded Speech. Mexico joined the United States yesterday in doing honor to President Harrison. The pros- idential train arrived at El Paso at 10 o'clock yesterday morning (central time), after a run of more than 600 miles from San Antonio. A Part of the route lay along the picturesque canon of the Rio Grande, and the President spent several hours on the rear platform of the observation car admiring the scenery. As the train ran through this section Mexican men, women and children came out hurriedly from queer looking adobe huts and gazed with won- der at the train. A large encampment of Mexican railroad laborers cheered as the train went by. A short stop was madeat Del Rio, Vanverde county, where nearly the whole population of the little town turned out to welcome the chief executive. The station building was fairly covered with wreaths of roses and bouquet after bouquet was handed up to the presiden- tial party rsons in tho crowd until the platform of the observation car was deep in Sweet smelling flowers. Two little girls pre- sented the President with x large basket of roses, and the public school children presented a written address. The President made a few remarks, and Mr. Wanamaker and Mr. Rusk also spoke. Ysleta, El Paso county, which the inhabitants claim is the oldest town in the United States, had brass band with Mexican musicians to greet the President. When the train halted there yesterday morning Americans, Mexicans and Indians crowded about the observation car and nearly all shook the President's hand. ARRIVAL AT EL PASO. The train arrived at El Paso on schedule time. Governor Carillo of the Mexican state of Chihuhua, Mexico, Mexican customs officers on the border, General McCook of the United States army and prominent citizens met the President at the train. A detachment of the fifth infantry and band, a number of Mexican officers with a military band and local organiza- tions formed a procession to the court house, where speaking took place. At many of the street corners were banners in Spanish and English bearing the words, ‘Reciprocity with Mexico.” General A. J. Malloy made the ad- dress of welcome at the court house. Governor Carillo also spoke on behalf of President Diaz, Several others made speeches Felooming the Prosident to the lone star state. The Presi- dent made o brief response and was heartily applauded. ‘THE PRESIDENT'S REMARKS. His remarks so far as they related to rela- tions with Mexico were as follows: “Tam glad to stand at this gateway of trade with the great republic of Mexico. [Cries of ‘Hear!’ ‘Hear!” and cheers.) I am glad to know that it is not only a gateway of commerce but a gateway of friendship [cries of ‘Hoa ‘Hear!"and cheers]; that not only do these hurrying vehicles of commerce bear the pro- duct of the fields and mines in mutual ex- change, but that they have facilitated those personal relations which have promoted and must yet more promote the friendliness of two independent liberty-loving people. [Cheers.] I receive with great satisfaction these tributes of respect which have been brought to me by the governor of Chihuhua and the representa- tives of the army of Mexico.

Just after leaving El Paso the presidential train crossed from Texas to New Mexico and Gov. Prince of that territory, who was on the made an address of welcome to the Pres- ident, to which the latter briefly responded. A delegation from Deming, N.M., accompanied the “party from El Paso. At Deming, where the train halted a few minutes, a jute was CLASPED TOGETHER IN DEATH. Suicide of a Couple of Lovers ina New York Hotel A young couple registered at the Grand Union Hotel in New York on Sunday morningas P. Beh- rend and wife and were astigned toaroom on the third floor. Monday evening at 8:30 they were found locked in each other’sarms, cold in death. They had employed the familiar method of in- haling gas through rubber tubes held in the mouth to bring them toan untimely end. On the woman's breast lay alarge and beautiful bouquet of roses. This showed conclusively that the self murder had been carefully planned by the couple, as it any respects similar to what the reprtigcie of the Archduke Rndolph was like, anffof which the couple had | evidently read. ‘The man was about twenty-five | years of age and the woman about twenty-two. ‘The bodies were yesterday identified. The girl's name was E. Dannheimer. She was an inmate of Mra, Miller's disorderly house in East 9th street until Sunday last. Paul Bebrend, her lover, was a music. teacher. He had ‘also stopped at Mrs. Miller's, but it was not noticed that there was any attachment between the two. The letter addressed to the coroner was the girl's handwriting. In it she said that it was their own will to leave the misery of the world. The only wish they bad was to be buried in one grave. They had no money, but their creditors could antisfy their demands ont of the effects they left behind. She expressed the hope that butlittle would be published about their ——___-+e+_____— Victims of t} Feast. V. B.

Eulogizing the Republican Leadere—Presi- dent Thurston's Address. Ex-Gov.

Foraker said: “You soem to think so too.” joMt; Thurston's remarks wore in part as fol- lows: PREAIDENT THURSTON'S ADDRESS, “This is the volunteer political organization of the republican party.

But before the next presidential election its beneficial effects will have become apparent, and if any of its schedules prove to be excessive or unjust the republican party stands ready to correct its own mistakes without destroying the foundation principles of American pro- teotion. “The Farmers’ Alliance was undoubtedly an important factor in the last election. i “The hope of the democratic party today is based upon its ability to combine with the alliance on electoral tickets in the western states and thereby throw the election of Presi- dent into the House of Representatives. In my judgment this result will nevar come.” the speaker touched up the “mugwump” with a red-hot rhetorical ‘poker. “Some who have been trusted and rewarded by the repub- lican party have made haste to prove their in- sincerity and unworthiness by desertion to the others have attempted to damn repub- jeusures by faint praise. We have con- signed all such to the waste paper basket. No political Benedict Arnold haf ever heid an hon- ored place in the memory of a brave people.” Next he made an argument in favor of the federal elections bill. The southern and negro delegates cheered the following: “Tbe negro is the salvation of the south; his patient, cheerful, profitable labor is its greatest blessing and dearest hope. But he is ‘the democratic Nemesis. If be is not counted for congressional and electoral repre- sentation, the democratic party cannot exist; if he is counted at the polls, the democratic party dies,” The speaker added that the party's duty was not ended with the election law, but the “ku- klux, the shotgun, the rounder, the bummer, the vote buyer and tie demijohn must be ban- ished from every polling place over which the flag of liberty beneficently float ‘The speaker then reviewed the na condition of nder republican rule. Keferring to the administration, he commended the party as the real champion of civil service reform. He then took up the summary vengeance visited upon the Mafia at New Orleans, saying: “So long as we have a republican administra- tion, with James G. Blaine as Secretary of Stato, no apology will ever be offered and not a dollar will ever be paid for the killing of an: red-handed outlaw, though the navies of ail Europe should thunder at our harbors and the flag of the republis should once more need a million muskets for its defense.” The speaker then reviewed his connection with the league as president and its Prosperity: saying that its financial condition was gopd. democratic reports to the contrary being false. In conclusion he said: “This magnificent convention is an earnest of the revival of stalwart republicanism. It is within your power to make this country certainly repub- ican for @ quarter of a century to come.” THE NIGHT MEETING. ‘The night meeting was a magnificent success. Masic Hall seats over 8,000 people and stand- ing room was at @ discount. The balconies were almost completely filled with ladies, and coupled with the brilliancy of the decorations the costumes made upa remarkable display for a political mass meeting. ‘resident Thurston created a sensation when he introduced Hon. William McKinley as the next governor of Ohio and one of the future Presidents of the United States. Maj. McKinley sketched the history of the two great parties, claiming that the republican party ‘was the only one that could look back without regret and into the future without fear. His reference to “That matchless man, Harrison,” was loudiy cheered. D. Cole of Rushville, a delegate from In- diana, raised a little breeze by demanding investigation of an alleged insult to “the dis- tinguished son of Indiana,” as he put it, but he was prevailed upon to withdraw it by the mem- bers of the delegation from that state. The grievance probably relates to the remarks of ex-Gov. Foraker and Mr, Thurston, who eulo- gized the Secretary of State, but made no allu- sion to the President by name. After the meeting places of the respective committees had been announced the conven- tion adjourned until t 10 o'clock. oe Foreign Topice of Interest.
