Kansas City, 0; Sioux City, 4.3 Denver—No game, Lixcous, Neb., April 24.—[Special Tele- gram to I'nx Bre, ] —Today the Farmers’ Al- liance was - shut out by the Apostles. The plowboys were not in it. They could not pitcher for St. Paul, and as 8 result nine goose cpgs stared them 10 the face. Osborne was not exactly an ideal pitcher, but he twirled the sphero fn such a manner thatthe most frantic efforts of the plow boys to reach it were un- availing, It almost invariably went into the hands of the catcher. The game was closely contested up to the eighth inning, the score then standing 2 to 0 in favor of the Apostle The St. Faul nine was not particular! strong anywhere compared with the Allian men. Roach was in the box for Lincoln, and playea a pretty game, the Apostles getting only seven bits from him, Ho struck out more men than his rival, Osborne, and got a pretty drop on the ball that the Saints could hardly cateh on to. The Apostles did not bat the ball much bet- ter than the Alliance men, and didu't do any better fielaing, but the inability of the Lin- colnians to hit Osbo coupled with a number of errors, gave the game to St. Paul. In tke eighth inning, when three Apostles were on bases, [rwin _and began Dlaying cateh botweon firs nd_and endeavored to put out on Anostles, and the man on third silently stole in and scared. A miscue made by Jack Rowa on third allowed the Saint on that base to also steal in. Before the Farmers had fully recovered from the shock thers were four runs recorded in the score book. They then arose in their might and put a stop to the proceedings, but on taking the bat did nothing themselves. Cline astonished everybody and himself most of all by muftine a Hy.

EanE THE ALTON BOY(OTT. Chairman Blanchard Gives His Ver- sion of the Existing Trouble, 1CaGo, April 24 —Chairmau Blanchard of the Central Traffic assoclation, in & tulk with the Associated press representative today concerning the trouble with the Alton, explained the matter at length from the standpoint of the eastern lines, and said their action was taken regretfully and not in a spirit of boycotting. They do not interfere with the business of the Alton or its em- ployes. On the contrary they, having ae- cided to cease commission paying, it is the Alvon which claims the right to interfere with their business and to reduce their ployes with money. Its opportunity for so doing hus been stopped in the only pra ticable manuer, [t is true, said Blanchai that the western rouds are bermitted their own rules to pay commission, but it is the general belief that the Alton company alone defeats & general cessation of this per- nicious practice, Ava mecting of the Western Passenger association today Rocls Island presented reso. lutions in the form of a meniorial to the east- ern lines requesting them to take some meas. ures for the protection of western connec- tions against the effect of the Alton boycott. The present condition of affairs, if continued, would soon involve all nnes in a disastrous rate war. Eastern roads were therefore called upon to modify their position to avoid such a result. Representatives of soveral western roads spoke in favor of upholding the Alton, and eastern lines were sharply ceriticized, on was taken. What Mr. Gould Thinks, New Youx, Aprit M.—(Special Telogram to Tur Bre.]--Jay Gould appearca down town this moruing and seemed to be in ex- excellent health, He talked freely about his western trip and said ho found his roads everywhere in good condition, He belioves thatthe financial situation of the United States is better than that of auy other coun- try in the world. He had nover seen so promising an outlook for crops. *The general ratlroad situation looks weil," he said. ~ “I'hreatening legislation has passed away., The Interstate commerce law has done a groat deal of good and much evil. The long and short haul clause of the interstato law is oue of its objectionable features. An- other objection is that it secms to be in the interest of tho stroug roads. In am in favor of tho plan and purpese of the Westeru Trafle association.

Almost th Entire Army Reported in Sym- pathy with the Uprising, DETAILS OF A HORRIBLE MASSACRE. vernment Troops KFire on Famine- Stricken Men, \vomen and Chil- dren—Routed by the Revolutionists, PaNaya, April 24.—Interesting mail ad- vices have been received by steamer from several coast points relative tw the Chilian revolution. A letter from Callao assarts that the Chilian army is almost entirely in favor of revolution, although the goverment has at its orders over thirty thousand men. A letter from Tarrappaea gives an account of a horri- ble affair at Poso Almonte early in February. Upwards of three thousand workmen col- lected at Poso Almonte to procoed to Iquique and make a formul represeatation respecting the scareity of provisions. Shortly after they reached the works the manager gave them a lot of pravisions. The strikers remained there that night and the foliowing day sent some of their leaders on to Negreiros to col- loct move men. Suddenly a train appoared loaded with government troops, under Martin Larrain, Without parieying these troops opened fire on_ the 900 defenseless workmen, women and children, Shortly ufter the forcos marched forwurd and killed_all the men, Moanwhile the men from the Negreiros works with commission- ers from Ramirez returncd to their houses, otherwiso they might also ve been htered. Some who eseaped from the cro took refuge in the nitrate fields, but were subsequently follownd up and killed. After this deed was committed n large number of men were arrested; of whom eignteen were murdered. ‘The Lima Diaro says it is stated that when the covernment forces retired from Poso Almonte they shot all the prisoners and de- stroyed all the nitrate establishuients they passed. The fight between the government troops and revolutionists at Poso Almonte March 7 wes a sanguinary one. Four thousand troops were engaged, of whom three-fourths were Kovernment. More than one thousand killed and wounded was the result. The govern- ment forces were routed with the loss of all their artillery aud a greater part of the iu- fantry. The survivors fled and, meeting the Barberos column at Panta, retired toward Camina. The revoluti y committed many atrocities, Advi 1 in Callao March 31 state that the revolutionary squa- dron, transporting all of the revolutionary land forces, has sailed with the object of at- tacking Valparaiso. The officers- and crows of the revolutionary squadron are said to have signed a “‘round roLin" binaing them- selves not to lay down arms until they hang President Balmaceda in the principal square in Santiago. A cable message from Lima, April 11, says news has been received from Iquique that Arca and Tarkna have been taken. All of the latter department is now in the hands of the congressional party, who also control all the northern portion of 'Chili as far south as Cdbiavo. There was no fighting, the gov- ernment forces having fied toward the fron- tier of Bolivia. A number of distressed Pe- ruvians have been given free transport from Iquique and other southern ports. The con- dition of many refugees is horrible Pro- visions were recently o scarce in Iquique, owing to the blockade, that was paid for a can of preserved milk ana beef sold at $10 per pound. The Peruvian consulate is daily besieged by Peruviuns sccking provisions aund transportation home for themsclves and families, mas: 08 receiv Great Rainstorms in Peru, PaNaMA, April 24.—Reports from Pern state that botween March 10 and 22 eleven rain storms swept over Lambayeque, Rivers rose and flooded the country all around for thirty miles. |Many villages were inundated and a large number of buildings fell down. Crops on the farms around the villages were all destroyed and not a rail on the Chimebote & Sucsiman railroad remains in place. A correspondent, writing from Moche, said: ““Torrents of rain fell, and as the houses were rot built to resist rain, they soon com- menced to fall, while roofs and. walls fell in many of the streets. The square beeamie an immense lake. Provisions are very srarce. The wind blew with such force at Huanaqui that large trees wore blown down. All the vlantations and farms were more or loss damaged. In the department of Libertad the losses exceed $2,000,000. Heavy, ran storms. also swept over the north of Peru, where rain is never expected, aud much ruln was caused.” " — 4 DUN'S REVIEW OF TNE. WEEK. A Comparatively Dull Week, with In proved Business in the Interior. New Yobk, April 24.—(Special Telegram to Tne Bee.| —R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says : But for speculation this would have been a comparatively dull week. But the sales of 112,000,000 bushels of wheat in this market, and 650,000 bales of cotton and 2,242,000 shares of stock have supplied a certain ac- tivity though not of thewholesome kind. In the interior business seems to be sofmowhat improved, but many causes combine to pre- vent great activity. Prominent. among these is the reaction from excessive real estate speculation and Luilaing which have prevaled for yeaws In somo quarters. Thus at Philadelpaia the de- pression is explained by the fact that 60,000 new bouses have been added in eight years. The strile in building trades tends to cause dullness where activity had been -expected, and the threatened strike~of @l” ifiiners in several states also retards operations. But on the whole the volume of businegs is large for the scason. In amount therbank ex- changes are close up to . that of the corresponding weeks last year, and east-bound shipments from Chicagq for threo weeks have boen 200,071 tons against 243108 for the same week of 1860, The symptoms are those of waiting rather than of reaction. The merchandise movement at Boston has been fair, in wool slightly larger, wWithout much change in dry goods and in boots and shoes, and with better reports from agents, while leather and hides are quiet. At Phila- delphia the coat and irop trades are more tive. Worsted mills ave running full time at good prices. At Hartford it _is noted that goods do not justify the higher prices said to be asked” for the increased clip of wool. At Baltimore trade is only fair, but maaufactures are active, and at Cleveland better weather brings somo improvement with unusual activity in manu- factured iron. Ciucinnati also notes an im- provement and great activity in building materials, and Detroit finds™ better trade with better country roads. At Chicago woal receipts gain a thivd overlast year and wheat receipts are larger, but a decrease appears m flour, corn, meats, lard and hides, Dry goods sales equal last year's for the samo wook, and the sales of clothing and shoes show an increase. The grip retards trade at Milwaukee, but a tarthor improvement is seen 'at St. Louls. Trude Is fair at Kansas City and Omaha, and better at Deover. Cotton is quiet and lower at New Orleans, and sugar active and lower, the gen- eral trade being fair, At Savannah trade slackened slightly aud is rather duli at. Juck, souvilie, but extensive investments in phos. hates with heavy shipments causo activity in the part of the state where there are de- posits. The money markets are generally undis- turbed and comparatively easy. Collections improve slowly The treasury continues to pay out more than it takes in, though but little ‘this weei, the net addition to the circulation being about $500,000, There are renewed signs of foreign selling of securities on the recent. rise, and it is not to be expected that large gold exports in the summer can be provented unless breadstulfs so decline as o per- mit a free movement prior to June, Wheat has risen 2% cents with enormous speculative transactions and has been even higher, the markets of lats showing heavy realizing, yet exports from Atlantic ports coutinue far below those of & year ago, al- though the qFAnTity available for export, after a supply oLall tho domestic demands for tho crop yoif il still_over forty miilion bushels.

The continued great receipts of cotton hav depressed the price 1-16c_and oil is 2 lower, but coffee ice highet. The offerings of Enropean refiued sugar seem to have called American refiners to order very auickly, and without any change i the price of raw sugar guined has dropped from ! t0 lye. The chvdo in average prices of ul commodities has, boon buta slight advance for the week, hur te of the rise in wheat, for manutactured products tead lower on the whole. HeavyTigiffdation puts tin down to 1015 cents and Tead to $1.15, and large im- portations cause tin plates to be offercd at some decline, The coal trade does not improve, though agents have fixed upon 2,500,000 tons as tne output for May. The Lehizh ignores the decision in the Coxe case, but the threats of o strike in bituminous mines affect the pros- pect. ‘The business failures oceuring thronghout the country during the last seven days num- ber 205 as compared with o total of 251 last week.

After thie battle the party was escorted to Santa Barbara mission, where they were received by Superior O'Koofe and his assistants, and shown through the historic edifice by virtue of a special dis- nsation.

Report of the Investigating Commit- tee of the linois Legislature, SrrixorieLp, I, April 24.—The commit- tee which has been wvestigating the Chicago live stock exchange of Chicago snbmitted its findings today. The report, which is a very lengthy one, finds, as, stated yesterday, that a boycott does exist. The evidenco, it says, shows concerted action on the part of the live stock exchanges at Chicago, St. Louls, Kan- sas City and Omaha to destroy the business of the American live stock commission com- vpauy, and that no reason 13 given therefor except, that said company roturns ita not earnings in part to the producer, The boy- cott was justified only upon the ground that any competition, directly or indirectly, in the rate of the commissions charged would lead to abuses datrimental to the interests of the public. n this justification the committee caonot agree. The committee is constrained from the evidence to say, however, that mern- bers of the Chicago live stock exchange are to be commended for their earnest efforts to bring out reforms iw the manner and meth- ods of doing business upon the greatest live stock market in the world. In the opinion of the committee the mixed class of business done by many members of the exchange can- not be done as cheaply as the busimess of selling a more uniform class of range cattle, which the evidence shows the American live stock commission company was almost ex- clusively engaged in seliing, but while com- mending the exchange for reforms the com- mittee cannot forget the great Rrim:lplu un- derlymng the questign of whether any cor- poration or asseaiétign has a right to take possession of a publieuarket and say to all comers that they fi usl, do business at a cer- tain minimum rate, ‘The bill reported by the committee is n- tended to correct the fbhuses now prevailing. —e Three Southiarolina Hanzings.

A frightful accident occurred about 5:30 o'clock lastevening, in which two men lost their lives, A trench for a sewer which was being dug in the alley between Twenty-soventh and Tweoty-elghth streets on Grant street, caved in on tho workmen, burying two of them, Charles Holmes aud Krank Olsen, both Swedes, Theso meu wore working in the bottom of tho trench, which was about fifteon foet deep, when suddenly and without warning the walls gave way at the bottom and buried *he mon under about nine fect of earth, Four laborers, also Swedes, were on the plank platfori six or seven feet above the bottom of the trench, and thoy, too, wero carried down in the land slide, ~ Fortunately these men were able to extricate themsely and beyond a few bruisos and being badiy d were ot inju Hank Sullivan was boss of the gang, and when the accident occurred he yelled and at- tracted tho attention of Inspector L. H rker, who immediately called the men who were working near him and hastened to the sceno of the accident. After the momentary excitement had quieted down all haste was made to remove the fallen earth. For an hour the shovelsful of earth tlew thick and fast. At last th bodies w reached, but both men wer found to bo dead, Olson was taken out firsg and laid upon a bed tick. Thon Holmes w# reached. Both bodies wore black as ink and their tongues protruded, frightfully swollen. Death bhad been °d by suffocation. As 5001 @5 possiblo the coroner was noti fied, ana after viewing the bodies he ordered them removed to Burkett's undertaking es- lishment. Inspector Parker said that unusual precau- tions had boen taken to prevent an aceident in the digging of this tref It is cus- tomary to line the sides with only ono set of planks set upright. In this case a double set of planking has been used on aceount of the wet soil. The dirt at a depth of ten or twelve feet wa like mud. . Fears of a possible cave in had caused the extra efforts to be made to make everything safe. The only theory advanced as to the cause of the accident is that, the and closets aiong the aliay had been seoping into the carth for years, softening 1t to such an extent that it was impossible to hold it back in place, A, nson, one of the platform who escaped, is reported to have aid that ho feared the trench was not safe, but under instructions from Boss Sullivan continued to work. “rank L. Reeves & Co. are the contractors doing the work and they had about ono hundred and twenty-five men employed on the job. Holmes and Olsen were both single men and boarded at a Swede lodging house near the corner of enty-seventh and Loavenworth streets. Neither had any rela- tions in the eity. The aceident attracted about a thousand people to the spot, who stood around while the trench was being dug out and the’ dead men removed. Cororer Harrigan will hold an inquest at Burkett’s undertaking rooms at 2 p. m. today. o e M) AMUSEMENTS. “A Race fora Wife” was given its pre- miere last evening at the Boyd with a num- ber of well known amateurs in the cast, and if the applause with which the play and players were received can be taken as estimato the drama scored a success, Of eourse there were crudities and man- nerisms, lines being forgotten and unfortun- ate stage waits, but notwithstanding these exasperating difficulties the production was very meritorious. T'he play is more nearly a melodrama than comedy, although written in three acts and filled with specialties in which Mrs. Bous- caren and Mr. Grosbeckin sustain the princi- pal parts. Mrs. Bouscaren had a number of very leasing vocal selections which were ren- ored with the case and ability of a pro- fessional, and sbe surprised her friends by appearing in a number of handsome gowns which delighted the ladies in the audience not a little. ater from the barns workmen on_ the In addition to Mrs. Bouscaren and Mr. Grosbecker the interest in the drama was well sustained by the author of the play, Mr. O. Bouscaren, Mr. Baer, Mr. Cavanaugh, a well known attorney of the city, Mr. Remillard, Mr. L. B. Charles, Mr. A. R. Roberts, Miss 'Adrienne Gaines, Miss Bessie Burnham, who gives promise of excellent dramatical ability should she con- tinue on the stage; Miss Helen Stantham and Little Belle Baler. ol issionary Sermon.
