Plan to Make the Garden City the Greatest Summer Resort by Filling Up a Partof the Lake. Curoaan Buneav or Tie Bre, Cuicago, 1L, Sept. 18, Little can be learned 1n Chicago concern- Ing the deal between the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e and Denver & Rio Grande. At the oftices of the Rock Island and Burlington no definito information as to the status of affairs had been received, although both of these roads tako keen interest in the matter because the Rio Grande is their principal con- nection west of Danver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Itis freely predicted that the acquisition of the Rio Grande by the Atchi- son, or the formation of a close trafiic contract between the two roads, would force tho Burlington to cross the Rocky mountains. It is suggested by some that Gould is in the deal. Ituas been known for some time that Gould and Li. friends are large holders of Atcnison., Gould 1s also a large holder of Denver & Rio Grande. How much he has nobody knows exactly, but it is a good-sized slice. A CHICAGO CONEY ISLAND. ‘I'he subject is baing discussed of building & big island in the lake for a sanitarium and pleasure resort. There are lying oft Jackson park some two or three rocks under water on which the United States government is now keeping buoys. Some of them have but eight to ten feet of water over them, and it is ar- gued that if they were used, properly direct- ed, as dumping places for dredgings and oth- er solid matter which is now an- nually going to wasto or even occusioning exposure Cbicago would soon have all the islunds of the kind aescribed she would need. The rapid growth of the oity will force the municipal authorities to think of some other way than the ones now in vogue for disposing of excavated soil and other refuse. The city is now pretty nearly raised to grade, and the matter of ashes alone is of sufficient magni- tude to soon bother the officials what to do with, Between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 tons of soil are annually burned in this town, giving ashes to the amount of 1,000,000 cubic yards. This alone would do to raise an island of twenty-five acres wita overy year. Such an island would make Chi- cago tho greatest summer resort in tho world. If possible, it would bo the Coney island of Chicago, only freed from its objec- tionable features, and much more conveniently located, soas to allow anbody to flee from the city on a hot night and drink in the cool Rreozes of the lake thathe would be sure to find there at any time. A company was incorporated in 1884 for the purpose of car- rymg out this idea, but the scheme finally fell through. MISBOURI'S LATEST TREASURE. A number of Chicago people, members of the American Lithographic Stone company, have just returned from & trip to the quarries recently discovered in the vicioity of Hannibal, Mo. They express the belief that tho material is equal to the best imported stone for lithographers’ uso and they say that it is found there in unlim- ited quantities. WATCHING THE M'KINLEY BILL. Campbell A, Wright, assistant secretary of the British Board of Trade at London, 18 at the Palmer house. Mr., Wright is in’ this country for the burpose of gathering accur- ate statistics regarding tho oxportation and importation of cotton yarns, cotton cloth, woolen and worsted yarus, etc,, during the month of August. Speaking of the McKinley bill, Wright sai “In nearly every Instance it has decreased the oxportation to this country, and that cer- tainly does us some harm. What good it has done over here I am not prepared to say, for 1 do not know. I shall know about it when I return, for that s the object of my visit." ODDS AND ENDS.

Gossip in social circles is to the effect that the earl of Rosebery is about to marry Miss Leiter of Chicago, who has been passing tho season in London. ' The carl's first wifo was Miss Rothschild, who died last year, the earl inheriting her enormous wealth, NO DESERT THERE. Tho Evening Post says: “About a year ago the Now York Sun, for reesons of its own, was bearing Burlington stock as much as it could. In one articlo it declared that a vortion of the Burlington’s Nebraska lines ran through a region which produced noth- ing moro important than sago bushes, This region covered un avea of something like from 160 to 180 miles in 1sngth and it was de- clared that that territory would nover con- tribute any trafiic worth speakiag of to the Burlington company. Careful oxamination of tho situation in the same torritory in the last fow waoks shows that from it tho Bur- lington will receive somothing like from 4,000 10 6,000 cars of grain to carry east this fall, Farmers who have located " there are toda threshing out 102 bushels of oats to the acre and from thirty-three to thirty-five bushels of wheat.” WESTERN PEOPLE IN CHICAGO.

Copyright 1891 by James Gordon Rennett.| VALPARAISO, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.) Sept. 18,—[By Mexican cable to the Herald Special to Tir: Brr.—Influonced by those opposed to American, the leading Santiago papers yesterday attacked the Unitod States, referring especialiy to Minister Egan’s letter transmitted to the junta at Iquique tast July by Rear Admiral McCann. Tomorrow an explanatory vindication will be published over the signatures of Signors Buardo Matte and Augustin Edwards, prominent represen- tativa men in tho congressional party, in order to sto recriminations. Iinterviewed Archbishop Casanova today relative to his clergy’s attitude towards tho government in the past and also his prosent views. He was quite willing to give Cath- olics his ideas. *I made efforts on many oceasions,” he said, “to establish peace, partly becsuse it was one of the duties of my position as archbishop | and also because it corresponded with my desires. Last year at tho first signs of troublo I bogged Balmadeda to accept my advice. He did so and called the Prat min- istey, which was received favorably by the country. Again in June last he, when Mr. Egan's efforts to secure & compro- mise had failed, I tried once more the effect of my persuasion but failed in my aspirations to end the strug- gle. Iwish totell to world that I belleve that Chili's republican institutions are now firmly secured for the future. The different political parties are now working in accord to repair tho past damages that the country has undergone in the effort to givo Chili a staple constitutional government. Oue of the principal causcs that lod to the revolution—the determination to secure freedom of ballot electoral liberty. which was much desired by all—is now as- sured. ‘We of the church also hope that extended institutions, Ail the past governments have abused the constitution because they belioved revolution impossible. The bounds wore reached and then Chili's brave sons would bear the burden no longer. With a good government, such as we hope for, wo can resume the care of beneficial enternrises, acting only when necossary for the administration and the fostering of the grand ideas. The republic will soon regain all she lost and the revolution will be the means of bringing happiness to Chili.”” From Mendoza I have received a telegram saying that the report of the arrival there of Balmaceda is untrue, The passes are guarded on both sides and escape in that direction is wellnigh impossible. During the [festivities to celebrate the anniversary of Chill's inde- pendence business will be suspended for days. The naval and military displays gen- erally will be on a larger scale than ever be- fore, The authorities having beon appraised of attempts at sacking and rioting in Santiago and Valparalso, have ad:pteda extreme measures, A guard of two regiments have been detailed for police duties in both San- tiago and Valparaiso. Lieuenant Frank Harlow, United States army, who wassent by the government to Bolivia to secure exhibits for the World’s fair at Chicago, has just arrived here. He re- ports that there will be a full representation at the fair of the natural and manufactured products of Bolivia. Lieutenant Colonel Karona, the German, under whose plans the recent campaign against Balmaceda was con- ducted, said today in reply to a question as to the efiiciency of the Manulicher maga- zine rifle, ‘I consider the rifle the best made to date, but deem it advisable to reduce the calibre of the projectile, now eight milli- metres, to seven and one-half millimetres. Its only fault, a weakness in the small springs in the breecn, is easily reme- died. Soldiers ought to carry spare parts with them to replaco any that might give out. Its action is simple, there being but one motion in load- ing, against two in the Mauser rifle. It is ensily fired by inexperienced recruits and the men used it with great confidence after trial. Its range is unequalled. ‘Lhere is no clogging of the cartridges. The only bad featuro reported was due to the failure of the rear springs 1 the breach used for elevating tne cartridges from the magazines to the barrel. The Mannlicher is a humane weapon owing to the absence of jagred spreading wounds, The surgeons re- port it1s easy to cure the wounds made by it since the ball cuts a clean passage like a hole bored by & sharp tool. ——— PRESIDE.
