Address to the Powsrs by the Junta of the Ohilian Congressional Party, DICTATOR BALMACEDA IS NOT IN IT, Delesseps to Be Prosccuted for Mis- leading Panama Canal Invest- ors—Interview with Philip Armour at Oarlsbad. Loxnoy, June 11.—A note has been issued here addressed to the powers by the junta of the congressionul party of Chili. The junta's note s signed by tho congressional party’ agents, Senors Matte and Koss. 1t speaks of recent lawless acts upon the part of “the dictator” —Balmaceda—and claims for the provisional government belligerent rights, on the ground that it is an organization suffi- ciently regular and responsible to Chilians and to foreignors and able to make itself felt and respected by fovce of arms. The note maiutains that the junta has beon vested with cegular constitutional authority by the congress which was elected in March, 1858, The note continues by stating that the congressional party has undisputed jurisdi over four of the richest provinces of Chili, comprising over half the populated territory of the republic. The congressional party also claims that it is growing in military power and that its naval supremacy is indisputable, enabling it to mainain sovereignty over its territory and to threaten the provinces of the dictator, Balmaceda. In view of these facts the provisional gov- ernment says that it is called upou to main- tain international and commercial and other relations, and therefore claims that it is entitlod better than the government to be considered a perfect international body, The note adds that the exi of the future rest with the congressional party, which “from the first represented the law” and the right and now it represents force.” The congressional party, therefore, appeals to the “elevated sentiments of justice and humanity entertamed by the forcign govern- ments to preserve the laws of neutrality” in the struggle now proceeding in Chili. esident Balmaceda’s Side, Loxvoy, June 11.—President Balmaceda has sent out the following dispatch to Router's telegram company from Santiago: “Surprise and disdain have been produced here by the false calumnies which the rebels publish in the European press. The rebel con- gress closed June 1. The congress latoly ted works regularly. It has approved t of tho government und has inve it with oxtraordinary powers and authorl it to contract loans.” Perfect order prevails. The army is well disciplined and is actuated by a great esprit de corps. The government cannot be vanquisked by the retels, who aro ouly trying to prolone the struggle to enrich themselves of the nitrate deposits. They have undertaken no expedition against the govern- ment forces and are_completely discredited. "The war ships Lynch and Condell have gone northwest. Tho discipline of the troops is irreproa lo. British, French and Ger- man commerce will be prejudiced by the rebels remaining av Tarapaca.” Would Not Accept Amnesty. 1quiquE, (via Galveston), June 11.—The amnesty proposed by the American minister at Santingo to Balmaceda was not accepted, but the latter offered to entertain a propo- sition for un arrangement, he indicating its basis. To this the congressional party re- fuses to assent. The armed transport Tmpe- rial, with tho torpedo cruisers Lynch and Condell, landed a_party at Tocopilla yester- day which cut the state telegraph lings and then re-embarked. ‘Phen these ships made o demonstration at Antofogasta, similar to the demonstration at Pisagua and Iquique. No damage is reported. 'The superior spead of those ships enables them to keep clear of the congressional ship. De Lesseps Will be Prosecuted.

Armour, of Chicago is here at present with his invalid wife, on account of whose health he came to Germany. Mr. Avmour said that he had just, received a dispatch from his home stating that ground had been broken at Toleston, Ind., for the new stock yards in which he, Mr. Morris and Mr. Swift are iuterested. “Wo have 4,000 acres of land there,” he said, *‘where ave propose to establish packing houses and stockyards. We have fine rail- way accommodations, pure water and exc lent sewerage, We shall not be so cramped for room as at the old stockyards, which are altogether out of place in such close proximity to the bost part of Chicago. We Dropose to issue $10,000,000 of stock, which wo will divide among the packers and deale who tollow us to our new quarters. The pro- coeds of the salo of this stock will enablo us to put up all the necessary buildings aud im- proyements upon our land.” “Will the other packers follow vour ex- amplo and desert the old stockyavds " asked tho correspondent. ““Ihey cannot help themselves,” answered Mr. Armour. **We three practically control the vusivess, the others must follow.

You sco, tho old stock- vards, which cost originully about $100,000, were sold some eight months ago to an En- glish syndicate for $25,000,000.

The chancellor opposed the motion. The government, he continued, was convinced that there was no distress existing from the duties now levied on grafi, but in conse- quence of tho agitation which had been aroused regurd to the matter the govern- ment had since consulted & numver of pr vate parties and naturally could not subm these roports to the house, nd he, tho chan- cellor, was not in a positiot to be able to men- tion tho names of the perschs who had been consulted. Herr Rickert made a most sensation speech, during which he said it would be found “necessary to recall the man who alono was able to direct the government.” He charged the government with endeavoring to *'silence thuse who were defending the in- terests of millions againdt the minority.” Potatoes, he continued, had already replaced bread us food for the people and they (pota- toes) were aiso placed &t an exorbitant price, His party would not rest uatil the duties on grain wore abolished.
