WILL EGAN BE SENT HOME? A Passenger on the Itata Says the Insur- gents Are Opposed to Him. “Patrick Egan, United States minister to Chili, will be unceremoniously ejected from that country as soon as the government of Bal- macedn is overthrown.” This statement was made yesterday afternoon in Chieugo by William Hoffman, a participant in the councils of the congressional party, and who arrived in this country on the Itata. He declares that Minister Egan is playing into the hands of Balmuceda to antagonize the English, who are sympathizing with the revolutiontete. He also churges Minister Egan with causing the arrest of the Itata by notifying the Chilian minister in Washington of ber errand. Mr. Hoffmun says that the final assault of the Tevolutionists upon the two remaining cities of Ealmacecda will be made the last of August and that no donbt of the downtall of the “usurper” is entertained. eee _____ SOME OF OLE MASSE'S WAYS, Primitive Ideas of Marriage and Divorce and a Strong Love of Liberty. Another scouting party that was sent out to round up Old Masse has returned to San Carlos, Ariz., with the usual report that it followed his trail until provisions gave out and then bad to quit. Scouting parties have been prowling around after Old Masse since 1885, but they never catch up with him and probably never will until be grows too old and blind to find a trail and gropes into a cavalry camp by mis- take. Masse is a Chiricahne whoalwars hasbeen on the warpath. Hoe was with Geronimo in 1886, and assisted that wily warrior in the capture of Gen. Crook's command in the Sierra Madre. ‘hea Geronimo accepted, much against hia Job to teach Sunday school in Florida, Old’ Masse was compelled to wipe off his wat paint, put on a new pair of army trousers and climb into acar bound east. By the time he had seen Kansas Cityand St. Louishe made up his mind that the flecting nature of this earthly show was too big for him to tackle, and stealing a carbine and a revolver from one of the guards, he Jumped from the train and took the back trail for Arizona. ‘On the way back Old Masse killed two Co- manche bucks in the Indian. territory, an- nexed their squaws, stole some horses and then continned hi home, but the squaws did not prove to be all that hiv fancy painted them and he killed them before he reached the rever- vation. Hits arrival at the White mountains was re- ported to the San Carlos agent, and scouting urties Were sent out after him. They have wen after him ever since. Old Masse haunts the tral between San Carlos and Sonora and keeps his memory green in the minds of settlers and prospectors by taking pot shots at them from behind rocks and mes- quite bushes. Not long ago he was prowling about near Fort Apache and saw an old squaw and her daughter passing along the trail. He Grought he wanted the daughter, but had no use for the old woman. So he shot the latter aud took «bridal trip with the young squaw over the Souora line. But aguiu be was disappointed in love. Confugal infelicitysoon devcloped, and Old Messe loaded up his rifle tor the purpose of Procuing s divorce in his own simple way. re.

French naval maneuvers in the Gulf of Lyons ended yesterday in the whgle fleet attacking Toulon. Ministers Ribot and Barbey, the mili- tary attaches of the American, British amd Ger- man legations, and many senators and deputies witnessed the attack. Torpedo vessels and shore batteries defended the roadstead against sixty war alape, bended by. a steel barbette, which was extremely formidable. After a furious cannonade the ships advanced in one line and broke through. the defenses. Among the featuree of the maneuvers was the uve of balloons to tow steamers. ‘The oficial report on the French maneuvers in the Mediterranean concludes: “The iron- clads during three days waintuined without ac- cident a high rate of speed. It 1s incontestible that an ironclad squadron of inferior speed, if attended by s wutticient number of light craft, cun be kept informed of the movements of & faster syiadron and can thus be enubled to counteract an enemy's designs. Hence it isad- visable ty provide large, swiit eruisers.”” ——<ee—___ One of the Hanions Killed.

The question of prejudice against colored veterans on the part of some of the citizens of Washington ts one of secondary importance to us, and, a8 we luave for twenty-seven yours past ignored such prejudice, and have not only remained here ourselves, but have been inviting our comrades here to conventions, excursions, parades and inangurations, that to draw the line now on the old veterans, and to in any way interfere with their coming, meets our united disapproval.” a ‘Who Were Its Parents?

William Cooper, colored, was charged in Judge Miller's court today with having as- saulted Frank Monaco, an Italian who sells bananss. Cooper stopped at Monaco’s stand and wanted to purchase @ banana for @ cent, but he did not have that amountof money. He picked up a choice banana and then tried to borrow the amount of wealth mentioned, butin vain, and then he asked for credit.

It Usually Makes a Good Show, but It Gets No Patent This Week. ‘The weekly issue of the Patent Office Gazetie comes out this week lacking a feature which is rarely wanting. It contains no record of a patent issued to a citizen of the District. Asa rule the inventive genius of the citizens of the District is represented in the weekly list of patents. It isaiso an interesting fact that in proportion to the population the District of Columbia has stood at the head of the list as having taken out more patents in one year than any state in the country. When not oc- cupying the first place in this classification the District generally stands second. Connecticut, in proportion to the number of its inhabitants, takes out more patents than any other state. but the inventiveness of even that state yields ‘to the District of Columbia.

An Explosion Which Results in the Death of J Cockrell, The steam drum of the steamer Jane Moscley of the board and Inland Coasting Company nd ordinary | THE LUMBER INSPECTORS. Attorney Thomas Says the Commissioners Have Power to Appotot Them—The Time. Assistant Attorney ST. Thomas today sub- mitted to the Commissioners an opinion as t the power of the Commissioners to enforce the law rogarding the m<pection and measurement of lumber. The opinion refers to the conteme tions by some of the lumber dealers that the law was a dead letter because, ae they claimed the Commissioners were not the legal success ors of the mayor, who, by the ordinance of the Inte corporation of Washington was authorized to appoint lumber inspectors. Mr. Thomas quotes the act of the District ae sembly approved June 2, 1871, to show that these offices were continued ander the tere torial form of government. By another ordi bance approved December 8, IN86 (Webb gest, 461), the mayor was authorized to app AX Inspectors, and “it thu appears, “that the office of inspector aud measurer of lumber was created by the District assembly which referred #0 and adopted the ol ormiinance of August detining. the duties and pensation of of Congress appro provided by Comms hall exercise all the er ane authority lawfully vested in the governor oF board of public works.” Sothat if the governor had power to appoint inspectors and measur- rs of lumber, and there in be doubt that he had, then the Comn have the same power. ‘ihe Commissionrs are not the Ingal successors of the mayor bas, therefore, nothing to do with the question Mr. Thomas proceeding ays: ‘I do not com- cur in the position that imepection elsewhere © the i ‘The ordinance anys not "p red in no ce With laws opera ” The ofthe law te to protect purchasers of lumber in this district and houce it is no auewer to the tor to may the lomber has previously been inapected in Maryland or Virginia.

Pureer Abel of the Moseley came up on the | steamer Washington last night and arrived here this morning. Last night a telegram was received at the company’s office giving a brief accyunt of what had occurred, and this morning Superintendent Phillips went to Norfolk via Baltimore. From what could be learned at the river front this morning the accident happened at 2:20 o'clock yesterday afternoum, while the steamer was in Elizabeth river and about to go to the deck at Portsmouth. Chief Engineer Brady had charge of the en- gine at the time and all the crew was on board the boat. The explosion made a loud report and threw the smoke stack high into the air. It landed in the river, where itis likely to remain. ‘The drum was also blown out, and the force of the explosion wrecked four state room besides doing other damage to the steamer. The cause of theexplosion could not belearned, but it is thought by some of the steamboat men that the steel drum stood more expansive force than the iron head, and that when the latter was pulled away from the former the explosion followed. The steamer Jane Moseley, one of the best- known boats on the Potomac river, was built at Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1873, und bas’ been run- wing on the Potomac river most of the time “For several years the Moseley has been on the Norfolk route and has braved many storms ‘on the bay without damage to the b sengers. The boat originally cost $17 wus built to run across Long Island sound from Newport to Greenport, but as that route Was nota paying one she was sold for $105,(1W and was then brought to this river. Capt» Haney, one of the oldest river cap- teins hore, as well as many other river men, sat that the Jane Moseley and theCryetal Wave, that was sunk on its way to this city, were two of the best sea vessels of their kind ever on this river. lt is not detinitely known whether the boat ill remain in Portsmouth for repairs or whether it will be towed to some other port. eras DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
