This loft the battlo to be man- fully, and good humoredly ho hoped, fought out between liberals and tories. And now that the field was cleared for action, he mignt say that the liberals had no reason to shrink from the fight.” Referring to Lord Satisbury, Mr. Giad stone said that while_affecting 'sympathotic cousideration of the Nowcastle program he bad tried to swamp the “Ono man vote' question in tho larger separato ques- tion of woman softrage.

Lord Salisbury had talked of coming ma: sacre and cruelfy in Ireland.

Anotber important article of export from ny dis- rict is fino kid gloves made ot renoble.

Thus, while the tarif on the former re- mains s before, the lattor payss much higher duty than formerly. Thesc and com- parisons of usimilar character leud uic to the conclusion that the problem is a very complex one, involving more than oue un- known quantity, the matter of the tariff being ouly one, and often the least significant.” Stopped the & xportation of Wool Mr. W.

Itis almost impos- sible at the present to judge of the effect of tho tariff on certain dress goods, as the American market was overstocked with these goods, both dyed and in the grain, prior to the date wien the act came into effect.” Mr. William Specton, consul atCognac, says: *“The axports from this district bavo failen off a wood deal in the lust year, whother from the increase of duties or not | do not know." Speaking of the effects of the McKinley bill'on the exportation of works of art from Ieance to the United States, Mr. Kens Valuadona, the head of the celebrated Goupil company, states: “Although we have not sufferad ‘oursclves, almost every trade is suffering, and, as a business man, 1 should like to express the opinion that the McKinluy bill will cause great trouble to America s well as to France.

They saw such a scena last night and, be- youd all question of doubt, uothing but the prompt interference of friends prevented a tragedy. The upproval of the bond of Henry Bollu, city troasurer-elect, caused ail of the trouble. The moeeting was the regular adjourved session from last Tuesaay night, and when President Lowry pounded his desk to con- vene tho body ten members responded to thoir names, The bond of Henry Bolin, in the sum of 81,400,000, was read, with tho sureties qualifying to the following amounts William Gentloman, 0,005 W. ‘T, Lorenzen, 0,000: L.

Bechel and Osthoft followed suit and changed their votes, Mr. Chaffee then moved that the vote by which the bond was vejected be recousidere The wotion prevailed, nine votiug in_the at- firmative, with Messrs. Blumer, Burdish and Moveurity voting “no." Mr. Davis demanded a_call of the house Other members joined in the demand &nd the call was ordered, with the sergent-at-arms instructed to bring on the absentecs. Tiwvo burly depities were sworn in to pre- vent uny of the members from escaping and way the sergeant-at-arms went upon his Mr. Morearty wanted to be excused. e had important business down town that de. manded his attention, His request, however, was refused, and the talking commenced, Mr. Chaflee was the first member to catch the eye and ear of the council. He said that the council had demanded @ bond of Mr. Bolln in the sum of £1,400,000. He had pre- ented such a bond and it was as good as haa oever been given by any city treasurer in the history of the city of Omaha. 1f the bond was £o be killed he wanted the slaughter by the full council--not by thirteen members. Mr. Movearity started 1n on along speech full of exclamation points. He berated the treasurer and roasted the bondsmen in a body. Just then Mr. abscutees entered tho room. He took his accustomed scat and a moment later Mr. Davis moved to dissolve the callof the house. The vote was put and carried while Mr. Morearty yelled “Hold on, we want fair play | You can’t bulldoze us und we will stay here till morning rather thun to not have our rights.” President Lowry smiled and remarked : ““The chair 15 going to rule. The char has ruled and he cail of the house is dissolved.” “Be honorable, Mr. President, be fair,” demanded Mr. Morearty, “That's wi the chair 1ntends to be," re- marked President Lowry with a smile that caused Mr. Morearty to turn pale. More:rty S s s Vietim, Mr. Morcarty was not ia the least winded. Ho was cocked and primed for a speech and said that the council was the highest tribunal to pass upon tho treasurer’s vond. He winted to say open and above board tha some of the surctics on Henry Bolln’s bond were not s rich as they bad represented themselves to be. Ho knéw that men had sworn to being worth a certain amount when in fact they wore not worth half that amount. The voud should pass into the hands of a committec, that the finaneial standing of the wors could be investigated. He did not propose to vote huy or a straw boud Mr. Osthoff sug from the Seventh ward bhad failed to name any signer who bad qualitied for more than he was worth, 1f he knew of suci an in stance it was his duty to inform the council Thore was silenco while Mr. Osthoff waited to hear the nume, Mvr.

Policomen Fire Upon a Dying Man While Swimming for His Life One of the Baltimore's Satlors is Stoaed ~Other Details, Citieaco, 11, Nov. 28, Probably the most intelligent consecutive account vet recoived in the United States rewarding the Chiliaa massacroof the men of the Ameridan war vessol Baltimore, reached hero today in a private letter from one of the officers on that now famous cruiser. The lettor which fs from H. W. Wells to his fathor, a prominent Clicago busivess man, throws a flood of light upon many points of the tragic ufair. Writing under date of Octobor 20, from avoard the Baltimore in Valparaiso harbor, tho officer say “Since writing last thero nhave been oc- currences hero which are of tho most exeit- ing nature, Since we were 1 Coquimbo along in the middle of August, our men have tad no liborty whatover. The state of affairs liere hias been such that it hias boen belioved unwise to allow them on shore, and, in conso- quence, thoy have boeu kepton board, *‘Ihe captain has beon anxious to give thom a run, but fearcd to do so provious to several days ago. “Beforo letting thom go wo went to the police and requested that in caso thero should Ve any trouble our men should be protectod. This, T believe, was assured, and on the 1ith the men went ashore auring tho afternoon and wero s0on strolling about the streots in an orderly manuer. “*About o'clock one of our very best men, a boatswain's mate, had some words with a Cnilian salor, although no blows or anything of that sort had been passed between them. About this time another of our men came up and saia something, when the Cuilian turned ou unn and spitin bis face, and was promptly knocked down. *Phis precipitated a row, and soon these two mon of ours were surrounded and probably blows interchauged between them and a crowd consisting of Chilian sailors, roughs, boatmen —outnumbering them forty ' to one. Tho boatswain's mato was stabbed in tho neek and our other man, fearing a liko fato, started to run, but was pursued by the mob and was stabbed. He had seven wounds I think. Fired on by the Police. “Meanwhile Riggin bad sunk to tho ground frou the Joss of blood and the crowd bad gone away. Another of our men camo along about this time and picked Riggin up in his arms to carey him away, when a squad of police, I wm_informed, came along and fived at them. ' shot passed through tho shirtof the man who was holding Riggin, piercing Rigein’s neck and lodged under mis shoulder blade. The other man seeing these brutes starting to load again dropped Rig- aud ran, The next we heard of Riggin 1s that he was seen in a cart, dying. Someof the crowd got up into the cart and said some- thing nvout Yunkeos, ote. Tho poor fellow died shortly aftorward. “\Ve have found peovle who saw the shot fired who say that they could identify tho voliceman who did it. About 7 p. m. one of our men was brought off, stabbed twice in the back, ono of the wounds penetraticg the lung. “All that-night this howling mob wero after our men and caught them singly and bratally beat and stabbed them. ““An American ship captain saw a_mob of twenty after one man; saw him knooked down and a big rock flung on his is now In the hospital with a_st th back and one in the ehdouton. We have another man stabbed in the lung from the back. He was arrested and stabbed from behind while the police were dragging him to the station.

Several other of our men while running away t> save their lives wore cut with swords. Raobbed i 1 ro d Dyl zht “Our men wore hold up aid robbed in broad daylight in the streets of Valparaiso.
