THR SEASON WILL OPEN NEXT TUESDAY AND THE CRACK OF THE SHOTGUN WILL BE HEARD IX THE MARSHES AOUT THR CITY -SOME SUGGESTIONS Next Tuesday morning, long before Washing- ton has taken its last forty winks, two mysteri- ous bends of armed men will leave the city by different routes. One will move silently acrous the Long bridge, the other toward the Eastern branch. The early risers will not see them, but they will hear “the rattle of musketry.” Itis tho opening of the reed bird season, and the mystic forees which only a few hours before left the city are the Washington hunters banging away at Mr. Reedy from skiffs or wading waist deep in the marshes about the city. THE DAY LONGED FoR. ‘The Ist of September is the day most longed for by Washington hunters, for the reed vird and ortolan which usually abound in the neigh- boring marshes are the only game the Jocal bgt ecrage havea chance at. So itis that as the tirst day of autumn draws near the guns are taken ont and cicaned and ammunition is prepared for the celebration, or rather the slaughter, of poor little “reedy,” whose plain- tive chirp, chirp, chirp, so unlike that of other birds. is already getting to be a familiar sound in the marshes. WHERE THE REED BIRD PEFDS. The vicinity about the city is well supplied | wo-ked a mine was beentwe of the heavy capi- | tal required and it was more profitable to sell option. Witness had had au option on the Thastuleston mine, but those who were to. fur- nish the money failed to do so. Huddleston wanted 000 for it then and now wanted 200,000. He got the rich specimer. from the shaft at Huddieston’s. Mr. Perry asked that the witness be recalled ats future time for cross-examination. This cimen was phenomenal and from the testi- | mony the gold vein ran through Shoemaker'e tract and it) was possible that it run through Don Passos’ and other lands. WHO HAVE SEEN THE ORE. ‘The commission asked witness to name some who had seen the ore. | Mr. Kirk gave the names of 8. D. Neweomb, E. W. Clark, E. Kurtz Johnson, 0. G. Staples and others.” As he was leaving’ the stand Mr. Perry suggested that the specimen be ieft. Mr. Perry said he had sworn that the prospect at Hudiieton’s, where the specimen came from, was not as good as at Truesdell's, and he de- sired to examine it. After some discussion Mr. Kirk remarked that the experience he had with a specimen he valued at $500 at St. Lows made him loath to leave it. Q Commiastoner Norris said the commission would take caro of it. Mr. Truesdell said he could understand Mr. Kirk's anxiety from his experience with miners in the west. “It was a remarkable specimen and he prized it highly. : Mr. Coleman saw no reason why the commis- sion should not take charge of it, but he did not want it examined except in court. Mr. Perry suggested that the specimen be taken by the commission. Mr. Coleman—Mr. Kirk has it; suppose Mr. Perry takes ‘Mr. Kirk—“If he can take it from me he can have it.” After some further discussion Mr. Kirk, remarking that he would not part with it for a thousand dollars, handed it to Mr. Nor- Tis, He was excused till Friday next. ANOTHING MINING EXPERT. Wm. Kirk, son of the preceding witness, tes- tified as to his mining experience in Virginia and Georgia and in this vicinity, and he ex- plained the peculiarities of mining in this sec- tion and said that in a number of mines the gold was in paying quantities. ‘The prospect in the Truesdell tract was as good as he had scen ay of the Maryland mines, and in his m was worth $25,000 above the value of ‘The facilities for mining the Trues- deii tract are very good, much better than the average, He was present yesterday when Mr. Eldridge took the gold panned ont. On cross-examination by Mr. Perry witness said that his father paid $1,100 for the options, and after they got the specimens they refuse to pay £1,000 for an extension of fifteen days. ‘The first option was to purchase 101 acres at | $20,000, then five acres for $15,000 and the last | tifteen acres for $35,000. | _ By Mr. Coleman—Land was selling then at $50 and 2100 per acre, und before the gold was found the Huddleston place could have been bought for £15,000, but afterward they wanted $100,000. ‘The cross-examination was postponed to Fri- day next. WHAT THE GOLD ASSAYED. F. P. Dewey, chemist, testitied that of six specimens (from the Truesdell tract) assayed one showed a yield of @4.65 per ton and the thers only a trace of gold. ‘The paying limit depended upon the quantity obtainable, and at the Great Falls €2 per ton would pay. In the Montgomery county mines there was mis- management, and the object of the companies appeared to be the sale of stock. He did not know of a mine paying less than $7 per ton be- ing worked. By Mr. Coleman—The showing in the Trnes- dell tract is sufticient to justify further develop- ment. Ly Mr. Perry—Both the @4.65 assay and the traces justified mining. EXPERT KIDWELL. Jobn W. Kidwell testified that he was educated in Germany and bad had experience in California, Nevada, Virginia and this vicinity. In examining a Maryland mine he found a yield 50 per ton, and reported against it,but n within four feet of the shaft magni- ficent ore had been taken out, assaying $16 to $20 per ton. Gen. Garficld and others were then about purchasing the Jackson property. will give a profit, and a quartz assaying $1 per ton should be worked. it the developmeut in Mrs. ‘Trues- del's land had a market value, but could not say how much. As for the g n exhibited Mr. Kirk he had seen -one from Vidsou's mine contained from $100 to $170 in gold, and some from W. T. Davis’ land assayed $1,300 per ton. COUNSEL WORKING Too HARD. Judge Wilsou suggested,ona proposition that the commission was willing to set an hour longer; that they were working daily one honr longer, than the court and asked that the hours 10 to 4, with a half hour intermission, be ad- hered to. ile also asked if the testimony could not be printed and said that if it could be done and counsel had the benefitof it the work might be shortened. ‘Mr. Perry said he had no authority to print and admitting the advantage of printing ted that the request be made to the At- Genera ‘The comunission replied that they would con- sult the Attorney General on the subject. —_ Lynchers Turn the Prisoner Loose. On Wednesday night, twenty miles below Greenvlile, S.C.,# party of thirty-five white men started out to lynch the colored man who had been captured after having attempted to assault 2 white woman. The man confessed his crime and was prepared for death. On the through the wonds the Iynchers gradnaliy fell away, and on arrival at the plice appointed for the banging there were ouly four white men left.

BIRDS COMING IN PLENTIFUL NUMBERA. The birds are arriving in plentiful numbers, and if they keep coming in the same propor- tion as they have the last three days wo will have plenty of shooting. Several daring pot hunters have already commenced shooting the birds, whieh readily bring $1 dollar per dozen. It’s risky business, however, as it is illegal to hunt before the season opens, and any one caught is liable toa fine of £2’ for each bird found in his possession. ‘There is any quantity of blackbirds—there always is. Already they have made themselves known in the markets and may be had at 40 cents per dozen. But they cannot compare with the delicate reed bird asafood. ‘The latter, when fat (and they get 80 obese around here that when shot th often burst open when they fall), are truly « licious, and when served correctly make a very dainty dish. HOW To SHOOT REED BIRDS. There are several ways to shoot reed birds. One is by the use of a light skiff propelled bya “pusher”—a man stationed in the stern with a long pole having a Y-shaped end, which he pushey in the mud and impels the skiff through the high grass. ‘Tne gunner sits in the bow, gun in hand. When the game is sighted the pusher squats and urges the boat forward from that position. When within range he draws im his shoving pole and locates the game. As soon as the smoke has cleared away he pushes up to where he has “marked” the bird, and, if lucky, picks it up. He is lucky if ‘he finds it, for a dead reed bird is about as hard a thing to find as a needle in a hay stack. In the first place, the bird itself is no larger than a sparrow, ‘and if you do not mark the spot where it fell it's “dollara to dou, as the betting man says, that you won't ‘The marsh all looks the sume end it's jest thing imaginable to get confused. Shooting from a skuf is what the pot hunters very properly term “sport shootin’;” that is, i dulged in by thoe who don't care enience theinselves by getting wet, and who have plenty of money to pay fur the services of a pusher. THE WAY OF THE TRUE UNTER. ‘The other way, and the one usually followed by the true hunter, the man who is willing to go to any inconvenience to get his game, is by wading. ‘True, this way is ten, aye, a hundred times, harder than the other, and ‘is fraught with danger, but the results are better, for a wader can go where a +kiff exnnot, aud that usually where the birds are thickest. There danger in this method and too much care can- not be taken. ‘The great danger is in being shot accidentally Hidden m the high gras, you cannot see any other hunter, and unless You make you: presence known ‘occasionally youare liable to have a handful of shot go ‘singing past you or else spend itself in the scat of your trousers as you are wading all doubled up’on the game. For the first few days of the season the birds are not very wild and the largest bags are taken then, but it dou't take th le fellows long to learn where danger lies, and when they know this they get as wild and cautious as the proverbial crow. A WADER'S OUTFIT. Every wader should have a dog and a change of clothing, for if there is anything in the world disagreeable it is to return to the city in wet clothes. Care should be taken about your wading suit. Any kind of a pair of trousers will do, provided they are tough. ‘They must be securely fastened about the ankles. “A pair of hose anda pair of light shoes, preferably rubber-soled canvas slippers, should encase the feet. The coat should be of stout cloth, able to withstand the saw grass, and as neat gray in color as possible. “It should have large pockets and plenty of them. As all of the shooting is done before noon itis not necessary to take any lunch along. ‘There ia one thing, however, you will find indispenssble in the marsh, and that is a raw tomato. It quenches thirst and is very filling. ou ae CENSUS 0} ICE WORK. Some Interesting Papers Upon the Subject Lead to the Scientists. One of the most interesting papers read be- fore the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science was one by Mr. George A. Priest, a specialist of the census office, deliv- ered last Saturday, the subject of which was in explanaticn of the methods of ascertaining and tabulating statistics of manufactures relating to the mechanical and manufacturing indus- tries of the country, which are of primary im- portance to the student of economie questions. Mr. Priest showed that under the methods adop- ted at the present census by which a fail presen- tation was secured touching the items of capital invested, miscellaneous expenses, labor and wages, materials used and goods manufactured, it was possible to lay the foundation for ene. cossful comparison in the future, whereas, under the old methods, wherein all these items were not gathered ‘and considered, the dednetions were unsatisfactory and misleading. Another paper read by Mr. Priest advanced reasons why the census burenu should be made permanent, and this discourse attracted wide attention. Mr. Priest took the ground that much of the ita obtained under the present system was worthless becanse hastil algo bey tna petitnced persons in the feld and that the field work was the foundation, whieh, if poorly performed, imperiled tae whole structure. ‘Another important point made by Mr. Priest was that as the primary importance of the const iv thé enumeration of the people and the collection of vital statistics the work would be betier accomplished if rated from all other inquiries and made the decennial feature of the census. That, in the interim, speciat inquiries could be’ prosecuted concerning church and educational statistics, wealth, debt and taxation, pauperisin and crime, national and state finances and the like, but that theideal organization should net be restricted to these inquiries, but compile ali statistics published by the general goverhment. ng the formation of a e ive t of statistics Mr. Priest thought that the duta pertaining to agriculture should be collected by the Department of Agricutture, manufactures and the mining industries might be properly embraced by the Department of Labor, fish and fisheries by the fish commission and transportation by the interstate commerce commission. These departments and bureaus should be reorganized to properly effect this purpose, furnished with the means to carry on the wotk.and be required to supply the deniand for eurrent statistical inf ion respecting the subjects committed to their charge.

EVOLUTIONS ON SEA AND LAND REVIEWED BY SEC- RETARIES MEAINE AND TRACY—EXCELLENT WORK PERYORMED—ADMIRAL GHERARDT com- MANDS THE COMBINED PLERT—SOCIAL ATTEN- ‘TIONS TO TRE OFFICERS. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Wirn tae Wurre Sqvapnox, Ban Hannon, Mame, August 27, 1892. Leaving Boston on the 20th of the month the squadron reached Bar Harbor the next morn- ing at 5 o'clock, just in time to ride out a heavy southeasterly gale in port, out of all dan- ger. The north Atlantic squadron, composed of the Philadelphia, Petrel and Enterprise, under command of Rear Admiral Gherardi, and the U. 8. 8. Despatch, flying the flag of the Secretary of the Navy, were found in port. At 8 in the mornitfg as the flags went up the Chi- cago fired a salute of nineteen guns to the Sec- retary of the Navy, but no official notiec was taken by the admiral of the evolutionary squad- ron of Admiral Gherardi’s presence until the second day after the arrival, when official calls were exchangéd by the two admirals. It ina part of the common conrtesy of the navy that none of the officers of a squadron shail call upon the ships of another squadron till the commanders-in-chief have exchanged calls. The same day that this squadron arrived a reception was given on board the Philadel- phia, which many of the white squadron's offi- cers wished to attend, but owing to the fact that the admirals had not yet exchanged calls they could not go. ‘Thus “red tape” comes in atévery turn and demands strict obedience even in useless customs. For three days after our arrival the fogs hung thick and low, and Green mountain was buried in the white mist, and the only thing to vary this monotony of fog was the rain that occasionally drizzled down or the southeasterly gale that blew for forty-eight hours. Still the officers had a lively time. ‘The peopie of the harbor entertained beautifully, and from morn- ing till night the little steam launches from every one of the twelvo vessels in the harbor poked their noses into the fog and carricd gay Parties of laughing girls out to visit the white ships, A REVIEW AND DRILL. On Monday the winds calmed and the fogs lifted enough to allow the battalions from the ship to lnad and form in line on shore. About twelve hundred men, infantry and artillery, were landed and marched from the wharf about two miles to the grounds of the Kebo Valley Club, where the lines were drawn up. ‘The ‘porticocs aud balconies of the Casino and the edges of the drill space were crowded with people, all anxious to see the inspiring sight and ready to praise the “blue jackets’" excellent drilling. “The whole force passed in review in colunins of companies. In the re- viewing stand were Secretary of State Blaine, cretary of the Navy Tracy, Admirals Guerardi and Walker and many guests. After this function was finished a brigade dress parade was held, and then the entire force was marched buck to the landing place and re- embarked on their respective ships. EVOLUTIONS OF THE COMBINED SQUADRONS. On Wednesday the two squadrons were com- bined into one fleet and an evolutionary drill took place off the coast. The first division, composed of the Philadelphia, Newark. Petrel and Vesuvius, steamed ‘out fi followed by the second division, the Chi- cago, Atlanta, Yorktown and Boston. The whole fleet was commanded by Admiral Gherardi, while Admiral Walker had command of the second division. For four hours this splendid fleet of new ships went through evo- lutions and maneuvers. A signal of several flags would be run up on the flagship P’hiladel- phia and quickly repeated on the flagehip Chi- cago; then the red and white answering pen nants would flutter out to the breeze from the rdarm of all the ships, showing that the understood tie signal or command. When al had answered down wonld come the signals, and altogether the heims would go over and the ships quickly and gracefully form in some new order. ‘The Despateh, with the Secretaries of State and the Navy on ‘board and a large party of gucsts, viewed the evolutions. As the espatch passed down the line of zessels each one tired a salute of nineteen guns and beat three rufiies on the drums, while the marino ards were paraded on ‘the quarter decks. ‘The Enterprise, with a large party of gueste, also viewed the drills. ADMIRAL GNERARDT'S FLEET SAILS. In the afternoon the ships returned to their anchorages in Bar Harbor, and soon after- ward the Philadelphia, Petre! and Enterprise got under way and steamed out for New Lon- don, Cenn, The Despatch followed them thia morning and now the white squadron reigns supreme. The Concord and the Bennington, hare having their specd trials off New York harbor, have not yet rejoined the squad- ron, as the trials have been rather longer than usual, yet both vessels are fully up to the re- quired horse power und speed. ‘The white squadron will sail from here on next Monda for Portland, Me., after which it will sail soutl again to New York, touching at Portsmouth and Boston, and reaching New York by the 8th of Loe Armor it is thought by many of the officers of the squadron that it will remain in New York for at least two months after it arrives there, and that there isa large probability that some of the vessels will be detached and sent to foreign sta- tions, ax we have no ships in Europe or Japan, and they are especiully needed at the latter place. SOCIAL ENJOYMENTS. Notwithstanding the hard drilling the white squadron has undergone during the last two months the officers have been given many chances to enjoy the social features of the ports On Saturday a lively hop was given at ‘0 Valley Club's Cusino, to which many of the officers ‘went, and on Monday evening Mra. John BR. MeLéan of Washington gave a charming reception to the ollicers of the two squadrons. ‘There were crowds of pretty girls and the whole affair was quite a success. ‘The culminating event, however, wns the grand ball given in honor of Secretary Tracey on Tuesday evening at the Casino. Nenrly all the oficers of the two squadrons attended in- full dress. ‘The buildings were tastefully and elaboratel, decorated and the society of the island was well represented. A fine orcliestradiscoursed musi for dancing, while the marine bands from the flag ships furnished music on the balconies. Bar Harbor has always been « favorite port in August with our squadrons, and at no other place on the coast do the oificers receive more marked attention than here. ‘The combination of the two squadrons kee formed the largest fleet of United States ships for many years and has formed quite en episode in the present cruise of the white squadron. All. day lonj ships boats, shore boats and canoes dart aroun among the ships as the officers exchange calls, receive their friends from the shore, or go ashore to enjoy the parties, diuners and drives that are so liberally given by the summer _resi- dents of Bar Harbor. The depurture of the Despatch and the north Atkintic squadron somewhat lessened the crowd, but by no means dampened the ardor, and at the hop given at the Cusino of the Kebo Club last night men with brass buttons predominated both in num- bers and, judging trom appearances, in_the hearts of the hosts of pretty girls at the Har- or. soar cruise. ‘The summer's cruise has becn in many ways a gay one; the different ports visited have vied with one another in attentions shown to tlie squadron and the squadron's officers have had many onportunities to enjoy the many rece} tions and bails given to them; yet the drills, especially at Boston aud at Fisher's Island, have been arduows and long, and every one fcels that a few weeks at the New York navy yerd would give a needed rest. The people of te eastern const have been given a good op- portunity to see what the “new navy” is, and, P eategecmatieds cray bal ante believed, the people are satistied. D.

A New York Herald correspondent at Val Paraixo telegraphed last night the following ac- count of yesterday's decisive battle: Balmaceda’s power in Chili is broken. His army has been crushed after five hours’ hard fighting, and is scattered beyond all hope of reorganization. The revotationists have taken Possession of Valparaiso. ‘The futero of Chili for the time has been settled, and settled con- clusively, on the hills to the east of this city today by the grim arbitrament of war. With Balmnceda practically # fagitive with- out resources in men or money; with the prin- al seaports of the country in the hands of the congressionalista, and a consequent shut- ting off of all income from customs receipts: with President-elect Vicuna a refugee on board 4 German war ship, and the country flocking en masse to the standard of the invaders, it 1a matter of only a few days when the enpital will fall into the hands of the revolutionary leaders. Gen. Canto and his army won today’s battle by superior generalship, good hard Sighting. assisted by good fortane ‘in the killing of Bu maceda’s generalsand the consequent demorali- zation of ‘the army and the desertion of entire regiments. The position up to this morning was in brief: position to make an offensive movement and devoted rgies to making his defenses as fa possibl hen all was not harmony in the military councils of the presidout. Both Gens. Larbosa and Alzerreca wanted to have supreme com- mand of the forces in the field. ‘this friction and jealousy resulted in almost an open rup- turo yesterday and the two officers worked at cross purposes. CANTO Not IN A Money. Gon. Canto was in no hurry to move on the enemy, because he was receiving constant ac- cessions to his ranks from the people in the surrounding country, which is ralated largely by those bound’ by ties of blood or in- terest to the leaders of the revolution, many of whom are uatives of the province. ‘Then he had a strongly intrenched position and could well afford to wait. Early this morning the boom of cannon announced to the people of Vaiparaiso that a movement beyond ‘the ordi- r skirmishes had begun. The occasional loud reports of the heavy gums soon swelled into one continuous roar, and then it was known that the final, déeivive struggle which, at the cost of thousands of lives, perhaps, was to decide whether Belma- ceda or the Junta was to be the ruling power in Chili had begun, Excitement was intense in Valparaiso. The streets wore crowded with people, women pre- dominating, anxionsly waiting for news and talking of ‘the momentous contest which was in tall progress only a few miles away. Aifairs had come to such a pase that it was necessary for President Balmaceda to make some move, and a little after daylight this morning the word was given to attack the position held by the revolutionist’, and, led by Generais Barbosa and Alzerreca, the govern- ment troops left their breastworks and ad- vanced on the enemy under cover of a heavy fire from their batteries. ‘The insurgents were generally armed with Mannlicher rifles and used sokeless powder. ‘the government troops were not so weil urmed. THE GREAT BATTLE. As soon as the appronching columns got within range of the Mannlichers they were met by a destrnetive fire from the intrenched evolutionists. The Chilians are brave, however, whether govern- ment troops or revolutionists, and advanced with much steadiness to the attack. They were soon near enough to do effective work with their pieces, and the engagement became gen- eral. “Shot and shell, grape and canister and rifle bullets tore through the ranks of the ad- vancing troops until it became too hot, and despite the efforts of the officers they broke and retired almost in a panic. Officers worked like beavers to reform their columns as soon as they got withou’ the range of the deadly Mann- lichers and at last succeeded. ‘Then came another attac’. In steady ranks the government troops started ona donble quick up into the torrent of fire and lead whieh blazed trom the ranks of the insurgens army. TWO GENERALS KILLED. Early in the second charge Gen. Barbosa was shot down and was killed. Tho line wavered, but kept on. Then Gen. Alzerreca fell from his horse, wounded unto death. He was removed from’ the field and died within an hour. Another break and then Gen. Canto gave the order to charge. Witha wild yell the con- gressionalist army left their “defenses and charged on the retrenting enemy. Their artil- lery poured a deadly fire into the ranks of Bal- maceda’s army. ‘The toss of theiz generals left them without « head and all the efforts of the subordinate officers to rally them to meet the onset of Canto’s regiments and squadrons wore of no ‘The retreat became a rout, the rout a panic, and then came utter demoralization. ‘The government cavalry made a stand, but it was short. ‘hey were literally eut to pi Volley after volley was poured into the de- moralized mob of Balmacedists. Whole regi- ments which had not lost their regimental formation went over to the victorious troops of Canto and joined in the attack on their late comrades. ‘These deserters were generally the “‘volun- teers” who had been impressed into service by Baimaceda since the commencement of hostili- ties. Their sympathics have all along been with the insurgents and they took this, the first oppaptunity, to go over to thers. FIVE HOURS OF BATTLE. The fighting lasted a little less than five hours, and its desperate character may be judged by the fact that fully 5.000 men were killed and wounded. The country for miles around is filled with men, many of them wounded, who were this morning the depend- ence of President Balmaceda. ‘The defeat of the government is absolute and complete. ‘There is no possibility of a n- zation, and if he does notsucceed in making his escape throngh the mountain passes whieh are yet open the chances are that he will be eap- tured and shot. Early this morning stragglers from the battle- field began to come in. As the day wore on they came in greater and constantly growing numbers, and it became apparent that the gov- ernment troops were getting the worst of it. VICUNA SEEKS A REFUGE. The reports they brought in beeame more alarming. President-elect Vicuna took the alarm early and went aboard the German flag ship and asked protection of the admiral, which was granted. Then the intendente, Oscar Vi sent a communication to Admiral’ Brown an the commanding officers of the other foreign fleets in the harbor requesting them to send men ashore and protect their citizens, as the robabilities were that there might be trouble. Vinnding party of bluc Jackets and marines from the San Francisco were ordered ashore by Admiral Brown and took up a position about the American consulate. The other naval of- ficers followed suit and soon there were snough foreign men-of-warsmen ashoto to protect city against any possible outbreak. ‘The streets of the city by 11 o'clock were filied with a disorganized mob of Balmacedan soldicrs. The execution among the officers had been terrific. In addition to the two generals, Barbosa aud Aleerreca, nearly all the staff officers had been either killed or wounded and the fatalities among the line officers bad also beon great. It was evident that the government had met with an overwhelming defeat, and an attack on the city was momentarily expected. people were simply wild with excitement and HE DID NOT LIKE TO CHURN. the strects resounded with their “Viva Chili!” ; Ponte’s Tricks to Recape a Disagvecable Duty.

Balmaceds persisted in his attitude toward congress, thus unifying all the anti-adininast tion elements. Qn January 1, 1891, in a ma: ferto, he declared his purpose to continue to jovern, even without supplies. Congress, erenpon, with the support of the navy and part of the army, determined to com President to govern in what they considered a constitutional manner. And so, after a period of forty years, in which there had been uo civil war in Chili, the crisis came on January 7, when the people of Valparaiso were surprised to thatthe ironclad Bianco Encalada, the Esme- relda und other important vessels of the navy had disappeared during the night, leaving only an old Peruvian ironclad in the harbor.
