London, Aug. 4.— Official advices from
Santiago de Chile state that the rebels, who
are in possession of the northern provinces,
in which are situated the enormous nitrate
deposit?, that have added so greatly to the
wealth of Chile, are working the deposits
and selling the nitrates. Tlie Baltuacedan
cruiser Almir.inte Lynch has cruised along
the northern coasts aud reports sho saw
little signs of military activity on the part
of the insurgents.

New York, Aug. 4.— A Herald cable
from Lima says: Intense excitement has
been created in dipljinatic circle* lien; by a
fierce personal encounter between a repre
sentative of the Chilean Hevolutionary
par:y and a military attache of tho Chilean
Government Legation. From all accounts
the attacking party was the attache, and
fheasMult is said to have been of the most
brutal character. Tub Insurgent repre
sentative is severely iujured. In fact, the
Peruvian authorities have already taken
up the affair and will insist upon satisfac
tion. The nffair is looked upon as a gro«s
violation of the rights accorded the JuutVa
representative by their friend! v neighbor,
Peru.

Italy Desires the Conclave.
Rome, Aug. 4.— There is good authority
for tne statement that the Italian Govern
ment bas sent explicit Instructions to its
representatives abroad to prevent the com
ine conclave of Cardinals from being held
away from Rome. It dreads, above ali
thing?, a foreign Pope and a conclave away
Irom the Eternal City. All lUlian confi
dential negotiations with the great Powers
are believed to be inspired with this dominat
ing idea— that Italy will respec; aud safe
guard the liberty of the conclave, and,
therefore, no nation should offer hospitality
to the Sacred College should the Cardinals
decide to hold the conclave elsewhero than
at Rome.

Feaalty for Unlawfully Pasturing Cattle on
Indian Eeiervationi.
KIMGFISUKU (Oklahoma), Aug. 4.— On
complaints nf Ctieyenne aoil Arapaboe In
diau» Id the Territorial courts against tlie
Cragin Cattle Coiupauy, i>. B. Faut, Ben
The Morning Call.
iamln Garland, William Qulnten, Major
Udridge, James F. Ellison, Short Bros, and
Drum «fc Snyder, for unlawfully holding aud
grazing cattle upon the Clieyeune and Arap
ahoe reservations. Associate Justice Seay

court held that all persons holding live stock
within the limits of the Cheyenno and
Arapahoe reservations are subject to a pen
alty of 81 per head and the stock subject to

The order is now in the Hands of the United

upon the reservations unlawfully.
THE SEARLES ESTATE.
What Gsneral Habbard, an Executor,
Knows of the Will.
St. Louis, Ang. 4. -General William H.
Hubbard, one of the executors of the late
Mrs. Mark Hopkins-Searles, is a member
of tlie party of Wabash Railway officials
now in the city. Dispatches from Califor
nia have aunuunced that Timothy Hopkins
would probably contest tho will. General
Hubbard says this statement could not have
been authoritative, as Timothy Hopkin9
was in Japan when Mrs. Searles died, Rnd
the will did not reach San Francisco until
August Ist.
" The statement in relation to the conteat
conies from Russell J. Wilson, in all prob
ability," said General Hubbard. " Wilson
is a California attorney, but 1 am not posi
tive that he represents Timothy Hopkins'
interests or is authorized to speak for him.
"The provision of the will, which was
drawn by Dodge, a Boston lawyer. In ISS.i.
and not by myself, as announced in some
(if the papers, stating that the exclusion of
Timothy Hopkins as legatee was inten
tional, was intended solely because the
statutes of Cnlifornia provide that
there must be such a provision,
and it has no bearing upon the relations ex
istinc between the decedent and her snn.
8 If Mrs. Searles desired to exclude Hopkins
as a beneficiary it was neeessaiy
under the California law to insert
the provision that such exclusion
was intentional. I do not apprehend a
contpst. I have seen Mrs. Searles and
Hopkins together, and their relations seemed
to be most friendly, so that the, statements
that tliere was animosity between t!iem be
cause of the marriaga of Mrs. Searles dues
cot seem to be borne out. I believe that
young Hopkins objected to the marriage,
but I presume it was because lie thought it
would interfere with his prospects."
INDUSTRIAL REFORM.
HoYement for the Co-operation of Labor
Leaders Throughout the Country.
Lansing (Mich.), Aug. 4.— The General
State Assembly of the Knights of Labor
has been in session this afternoon and even
ing. One point of importance was the
action on the recent greeting sent by tho
General Secretary and Treasurer of the
order at Philadelphia, by which the assem
bly is earnestly requested to take independ
ent political action. There was to have
been an effort to Induce the assembly to
indorse the People's party platform, but ad
verse influences prevented this. Tho
assembly finally adopted a resolution in
dorsing the action if all the industrial
councils or conventions that have inaugur
ated work looking to the consolidation of
all the industrial people a: the ballot-box,
trusting that this great movement of indus
trial consolidation may culmiuats In the
full emancipation of the masses from in
dustrial slavery. Following this a greeting
was extended to the Fanuor*' Alliance.
Patrons of Husbandry, Patrons of Industry.
Citizens' Alliance and the National Citizens'
Industrial Alliance, promising support in
all well-directed efforts to advance the cause
of industrial reform. Master Workman
Alien said the circular sent by the General
Secretary and Treasurer of the order was
the first move toward a grand co-operation
of all labor leaders throughout tho country
for the advancement of industrial reform.
"SORTING CLASSES."
Decision on the Construction ol a Para
graph in the Tariff Law.
>ew York, Aug. 4.— The Board of Gen
eral- Appraisers to-day rendered an im
portant decision on the constitution of
Paragraph 083 of the new tariff law, which
receutly became a subject of controversy
between the wool-growers of Ohio and the
carpet manufacturers of New England. The
opinion is that the "sorting classes" re
ferred to in Paragraph SS3 apply to all wools,
including wool ol third class. Sorting is
here, in effect, denned by the statute to be
the process of separation, which increases
in value imported wool by the rejection of
a part of the original fleece. The phrase,
"snail bo twice tho duty to which it (wool
or hair) would be otherwise subjected,"
means that the duty on sorted wools (when
separated otherwise than as lo color) and
increased in value shall be twice the duty
to which fleece in an nnsorted condition
shall be liable. Any sorting or manipula
tion of wools nnde with Intent to evade
lawful duties is a fraud on lh« law and sub
jects the merchandise to the penal dutips
imposed. The board reverses the Collect
or's decision in both of the cases uuder con
sideration.

A FINE REVIEW.
Forty Thousand Grand Army
Veterans in Line.
Auspicious Opening of the Twenty-fifth
Annual Encampment.
Enthusiastic anJ Inspiring Scenes, at De-
Presentation to Commander-
In-Chief Yeazey.
Epecitil to The Mornixo Cu.t,
Detroit, Aug. 4.— This has been a proud
day in the history of Hie Grand Army of the
Republic. It has witnessed the grandest
parade in the history of the organization,
and has made the twenty-fifth or " silver "
encampment an occasion of magnificence
and grandeur surpassing the fondest dreams
cherished by its humble founder, Dr.
Stephenson of Illinois, twenty-five years
ago. E^S
For six hours to-day, under a bright sun,
40,000 veturans tramped sturdily over the
line of inarch, and such was the inspiration
of the moment that even the feeblest of the
maimed and crippled comrades found them
selves adequate to the ordeal of the march.
The firing of a salute from the United
States steamship Michigan in the harbor
announced to the waiting veterans at 10:30
o'clock that the command to move had been
given by ;the Commander-in-chief. When
General Yeazey appeared before the review
ing-stand the vast concourse of people clus
tered about Campus M.irtius cheered them
selves hoarse.
TIIE REVIEWING STAND.
Tlio General reined ud his charger
and paused. General Alcer and the
Detroit post, his escort, passed by him
and drew up before the reviewing-stand,
fronting it with arms ;at charge. General
Veazey looked on with a gratified smile;
then, lilting his hat gracefully from his
brow, allowed his horse to pass with slow
steps before them. As he passed the re
viewlng-stand every occupant rose to his
feet. Foremost was General Miles of the
regular army, who had been leaning over,
bareheaded, with his white-cloved hands
knitted above his sword-hilt. General
Yea/.ey reached ths end of the post, and
the patriotic veterans unfurled their flag
and struck up a lively air, and the crowd
cheered oneo more. General Veazey then
roiJa to the stand, and, dismounting, entered
his box In front The Detroit post passed
by, and the parade continued toward the
massive war arch.
lies ides tho s-taff of the Cornmander-in-
Chief, there were on the reviewins-sUud:
Secretary of War Proctor, Secretary of the
Navy Tracy, General Miles, Assistant Sec
retary of the Interior Uussey, two or three
Governors and half a dozen Past ComniAtid
ers-in-Ciiief.
TRIUMPHAL AItCHES.
Promptly at the hour indicated, the posts
assembled for the parade. Four magnificent
arches erected by the citizens Indifferent
parts of the city marked the line of march.
The most beautiful of them was the mag
nificent tower and war arch at the intersec
tion of. Woodward and Jefferson aveuues.
It was v veritable work of art. Slowly and
majestically the procession started from
Woodward and Adams avenues, with Com
mander-iu-Chief Veazey and his stall in the
lead until the review ing-stand was reached, i
The stand from which theCouimauder-iii-
Cliief and his staff: reviewed the parade Is
situated on Campus Martins, on the east
side of Woodward avenue.
Un llliuoi?, the home of Lincoln, the home
of Grant and the home of Logan, was con
ferred the honor of the right of the line.
The umbrella corps 300 stronz, was a fea
ture of the Illinois division. In one corner
a square of blue umbrellas represented each
State in the Union, and the red, and white
umbrellas in the columns served to
represent the stripes of the Hag.
As each division passed beneath the tri
umphal arched the little) girls showered the
veterans with flowers.
"WISCONSIN'S EAGLE.
The enthusiasm which greeted the second
or Wisconsin division, 700 strong, was un
bounded. In front, mid borne high In the
air on the ton of a flagstaff, was perched
"Old Abe," a stuffed eagle, which became
part of Wisconsin's history a quarter of a
century ago. In the line with the Wiscon
sin boys were General Lucius Fairchild and
Colonel Wissert, candidate for Commander
in-Chief. Department Commander Upham

share of admiration. It was 200 strong and
accompanied by the United States regular
band. This is the first year Kausom Post
ever attended an encampment when their
late Commander, General Sherman, was not
present.
The survivors of Pent So. 1 were a con
spicuous little group iv the Illinois delega
tion, and their appearance was the signal
for cheers. Department Commander Ciark
led the command and 3000 representatives
of the Sucker State were in line. Among
the prominent men were General Post, Gen
eral Pavey, State Auditor; Colonel Sexton,'
Postmaster at Chicago, aud Colonel Coch

Chief L. J. Webb, brought up the rear of
the long procession.
AN EX-PKESIDEJTT IS LINE.
The spectacle of nn ex-President of the
United States marching in the ranks is so
unusual that the tremendous ovation ten
dered ex-President Hayes to-day was hardly
a surprise. The cheers, which sweut along
the lino of march like a huge but slowly
rising tidal wave, were ever an indication of
the presence of the distinguished ex-Presi
dent. Mr. Haves was recognized l>y all as
be marched with his post from Fremont,
Ohio, and down Griswoid street, near the
intersection "f Congress street, lie kissed
several little girls who ran out to meet hi.n.
The old gentleman carried n palm-leaf fan,
ana appeared to enjoy the occasion quite as
much as his comrades of tho post.'
As New York swept around the corners
with their splendid band and drum corps
and their armed guards for starters, with
their gleaming bayonets, their appearance
was always ihts signal lor a cheer. - But t!ie
Continentals, with the cocked hats aud regi
mentals, led by Uncle Sam himself, took tho
cruwd, who cheered themselves hoarse.
J'his unique baud, with its odd-looking
drummers, led th« three soli.i platoons bear
ing the did war-colors of New York. The
sere un of the baj:i ipes of the Twenty-ninth
Ni-w "York, playing "The Campbells Are
Coming," was heard from all points. The
post wore Glengnrrys and carried two bat
tered regimental flags.
The Pennsylvania Division carried battle
flags with titles '-Spottsylvania" and other
names of fields rendered Immortal by the
terrible strife. A storm of applause saluted
the;>e battle-jcarred colors.
PJtBBWrrA.TK>H TO GENERAL VEAZKY.

Colonel E. J. Hee.ker and the committee
that purchased a $10<n diamond G. A. R.
badge for General Veazey, called at the
National Department headquarters to-day
to make the formal presentation. The cere
mony took place in the large parlor of the
hotel, where General Ve.izwy stood with his
wife, surrounded by his entire staff. "Com
mander-in-Cliief," said ex-President Hayes,
" the comrades who have been honored

A MEMORABLE DAY.
"May this simple gift remind you plase
antly of tin) event*, scene* and comradeship
of the great conflict— the famous day at
Gettysburg— the day ol your opportunity,
of your honorable services ami of your
signal triumph. May it be a wellsprin^ of
gratifying meditations upon the future. In
aftertimes this will be a prized family ne'.r
loom anil those bearing your name will b>
fired with gratitude that Providence allotted

origin to a man who, in his young manhood,
was a splendid figure in tha decisive battle
of a devine war, and stood faithfully and
bravely by Abraham Lincoln from its be
ginning to tho end. Our wishes and pray
ers are that your life may be long and
happy in the land which you did your p:trt
to save." [Applause.]
General Veazey replied briefly, thanking
the donors for their good wishes and grace
ful compliment
CANDIDATES FOR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.
Tin- various candidates for Commander
in-chief ar« pressing their claims with in
creased energy to-uight. Charles P. Lin
coln of Washington, D. C, Assistant Com
missioner of Pensions, lias withdraws from
th" rsce. As it stand? to-night thj choice is
between Weisert of Wisconsin, Smedberc of
California, Hurst of Ohio and Hodges of
New York. Welsert's candidacy is the only
one that is sharply defined as to States. The
West, with the exception of the Pacific
Coast, is praticaliy M>!id for him. Thu situ
ation is complicated to-uight by tho sudden
extravagant claims of Ohio for Hurst, and a
rumor that Illinois may decide, to present
the name of ex-Governor Richard J.
Ogles by.
TUB NEXT ENCAMPMENT.
The next national encampment, G. A R.,
will bo held at Washington City. The
justice of this location may not be conceded
by the partisans of Lincoln, Nebr. but in
quiry at various department headquarters
indicates that when the roll of .States is
called on the location of the next encamp
ment, Washington will get the prizs by a
voto of nearly 2 to 1.
To-night was devoted to receptions to the
Commander-in-chief. Women's H-jlief Corps
and Sons of Veterans by the citizens of De
troit at the encampment hall. "
. THE COLO It LINE.
There Is a serious dispute which threatens
to mar the serenity of the "silver encamp
ment" of the G. A. li. It is the "color
question." Colonel Hedge 3, Commander
of the Department of Louisiana ana .Mis
sissippi, said to-day: " Unless the thing is
straightened out during this encampment
there wont be a white member of the
G. A. R. south of the Ohio on the Potomac
one year hence. Colored men are outnum
bering us in the posts, thus putting u» di
rectly under them. That we will n>t stand.
Now we want to rule ourselves and have
the colored people go by themselves. All
we a«k for is a provisional department em
bracing Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and
Texas."
There are two sides to the color question,
and Colonel James Letvis (colored), ex-Ad
ministrator of Police and Administrator of
Public Works at New Orleans, Is the cham
pion of the colored side. When asked what
the trouble in Louisiana was he said : "We
have nine posts with a membership of over
1000, yet we are nut recognized by the com
mander of our department. . We gee no
representation in . convention, and are or
dered to report to the Coiiiinander-in-Cliief.
l'ho Derailment Commander thinks we
want social recognition. Our claim to the
order is not a social one but a historic and
fraternal one." -^
The question on every lip now is, can this
dispute be settled by the encampment
without a serious disruption in Southern
divisions? The colored delegates from
Louisiana will make a request to-morrow to
present their side of the case in an address
to the encampment.
SUGAR CUTS.
Inauguration of a Bitter Fight by the
Trust Against Clans Sprockets.
New York, Aug. 4—A bitter fight was
begun to-day by the Sugar Trust against
Claus Sprockets, who lias been a thorn in
the side of the sugar refiners on tills const
for many years. About ten days ago the
President of the Stuar Trust was called
away from the city by the fatal illness of
hia futlier, F. C. Havemeyer. While he was
away the Sucar Trust mnintaiufd the price
for giauuiated sugar, but dims Sureckels
announced a reduction of l-l(iof a. cent per
pound, outline seriously into the trade of
the Sugar Trust. Yesterday President
Havemeyer returned and at once ordered
the Sugar Trust price reduced 1-1G of a cent
below the cut niaJo by Spreekeb. Tha lat
ter to-day made another cut, bringing bis
price 1-16 of a cent below the price asked
by tho trust. The reductions made bring
the price for granulatud sugar down to 4
cents per pound In Philadelphia, on which i
2 per cent is allowed off, making the vet
cash price 3.92 cents, the lowest on record. -
The prlco named •by the trust is 4.16. Rial
August, 188!). after the formation of tho
trust, sugar sold at 8% rents per; pound.
Toe curious feature of the lull I is that in
the raw sugar • market ' both parties are
urgent buyers, and the Suitar Trim to-day
bought raw m;»r at 3 5-lii cunts. This
tiring* tlm uroat of rcliuinj; down to a very

MOVEMENT IN MONEY
The Circulation in the United
States.
Large Increase in the Amount In the Last
Decade.
The Largest Per Capita Id the History of the
Country— Comparison Since the
War.
er'ftai to The Knumta c*r.t.
WAsnixoTOX, Aug. 4.— A statement ha?
been prepared at the Treasury Department
in regard to the amounts of money iv circu
lation on the Ist of July, 18G0, 150.'., 1885,
1889 and 1891, from a comparison of which
it appears that the statement that sinco tlie
war there has been a great reduc
tion in the aoiouut of money In cir
culation is without foundation. All
the statements furnished are made upou
precisely the same basis, the amount
of each kind of money in the Treasury, and
the remainder is given us the amount in cir
culation. Tho amount of money in circula
tion in 18G0 was about ?43r>,C00,000 and the
amount per capita was $13 85. In 18t^ thero
was $723,000,000 in circulation, aud in IKBS
tliere was over 81,292,000,000 and the per
capita was 523 02, while on the Ist of Jan
uary last the amount was nearly Sl,
--529,000.000, with 524 10 as the per capita al
lowance, being the bigeest In the history
of the United States. Owing to the ship
ments of irold to foreign countries tliere has
been a decline since January 1, 1891, not
only In the per capita amount but in the
total circulation. On the Ist ol August,
1891, notwithstanding the outflow ol gold,
the amount in circulation was about Sl,
--500,000,000 and the amount per capita was
523 37.

FRAUDULENT FAILURE.
A Lumber-Merchant Makes an Assignment
Giving Preference to One Creditor.
Chicago, Ausj. 4.— The North Wisconsin
Lumber Company of Hnywnrtl, Wis., filed
a petition in the Circuit Court to-day to de
clare the acts of S. R. Howe!], the lumber
merchant who recently failed, as consti
tuting a voluntary assignment. The peti
tioners have a claim for 550.94 G. It is
eanrged that on April 30th last Howell, in
fraud of the rights of other creditors, made
and delivered to his attorney papers which
were, in effect, an assignment of his prop
erty to the First National Bank, making it
a ..preferred- creditor whenever Howell
should reach a point where he could not go
on ; that Howell was at that time Insolvent,
owing 51, 750. CC0, while his assets were only
$1,500,000; this assignment, not being re
corded, enabled Howell to secure credit from
the complainant and others, and that the
turning over to the bank when he failed, on
July 14th, all of his assets, was fraud upon
the other creditor-*, and that the instruments
executed by Howell were not simply security
for the payment of his debt to the bank but
to liquidate his indebtedness with the bank,
and the surplus was to be delivered to
Howell. The claim is that the bank is in
collusion with Howell to cheat and defraud
the other creditors, Judge Scales granted a
citation requiring Huwell to ap. ear and
answer questions, and also issued a rale on
the banK to show cause «v!r? it should not
be enjoined from selling' or disposing of the
property. -^-:. .

AN EMBARRASSING BLUNDER.
A Young Milwaukee Bride Claimed by
Two Huabanda.
According to the Chicago paners a young
business mmi of Milwaukee bad a most em
barrassing and unusual experience whi'e
passing through the Windy City recently oa
his wedding trip. While in Chicago tlia
newly married couple went to the races,
where they were seen by a well-known
Chicago sporting man who mistook the l;i iy
for his wife, and had them secretly tracked
to their hotel by a detective. The indignant
husband, followed, ana meeting thn bride
groom in tlie hotel rotunda denounced him
and demanded the return of his wife
whom he insisted he had seen at ciio
race-course with the Milwaukeean. Tha
latter protested in vain that the Chicago
man was mistaken, but he said ha knew
his own wife and was not to ha fooled in
that fashion, iini-.lly It was agreed that a
boy in the employ of the Chicago husband
should personate a bell-boy, and carrying a
pitcher of water upstairs to the lady's room,
should take a good luuk at her and report.
He did so, and returning reported that sha
was undoubtedly the spouie of the Chicago
man. This did not please tho bridegroom
and thfl boy was sent back to sivo iiim jl
more extended opportunity for observation.
On his return the second time lie said he
had been mistaken ; that though tlio face
was tlie same in every feature and the dress
was identical, the voiqe was differfnt. The
Chicago man immediately said tlie boy had
been bribed nnd declined to accept
his verdict. It was then suggested
to him that he should go iiotne
and see if his wife was not there, but
he looked upon this as a trap, and declined
to stir, lie agreed, however, to an arrange
ment by which he should guard the hotel
door while thedetcctive should visit his resi
dence. Tho latter preseully returned witli
the information that the counterpart of tha
bride wan safo in her own home, and Chi
cago's representative sneaked .iff feelinz
very small indeed. The Milwaukeean next
day received a letter of profuse apology,
but iiis bride is said to be still in ignorance
of the little adventure. It is not stated
whether the CbICUO husband made any
apologies to his wife, but, if the incident
really occurred, it would seem that glia
should have baa the privilege of servinj
him with a very large .-lice of the huuiblu
pie which he was compelled to «at.—Balti

TUSSLE OVER A TUB.
How Anule Storey Kept a Itii; Policeman
at i'.;iy U iili Soapsuds.
Intoxicated people develop strange pecu
li a lilies. In this matter women, as a rule,
are the strangest. la Allegheny, yciter
day, the rule was fulfilled to the letter. It
was wanhday at the ho.ue of Annie Storey
of Guy alley. Annie is not the personifica
tion of all the poetry the name would imply.
Iv fact, Annie is no longer young. She be
lieves water is the best thing in the world
in which to cleause clothing, but has a poor
regard for its virtues as a beverage. Io
fact, there is too much poverty of enthusiasm
about it. She therefore commenced work
yesterday with a full tub of water and a
full case of beer. At the close of the en
gagement Annie wns in the same condition
as the tub, but the case was empty.
With the playfulness of a kitten she be
gan to shy beer uottlrs about various parts
of the room, but tiring of this she threw a
tinful of dirty water on a mail who was
waiting past. The result was so gratifying
that she got a larger bucket and each pedes
trian was given a shower bath as he passed
her door. Officer Alexander heard of tho
proceedings and approached the house. Ha
was met with Annie's unique welcome, but,
as the ollicer is not one of tne kind to take
water, he escaped without a drop.
Ec ordered the w man under arrest, but
was only greeted with another deluge.
Evory time lie appeared the womau would
fire away at him. Finally she ran out of am
munition and was compelled to surrender.
At the station-house she ene.l for an hour,
nnd declared no ono hud a right to arrest a
poor, hard-working wnmin. Then she com
menced to be w.iil her f.'te until slid was
completely worn out.— Pittslwrg Dispatch.
A Cat Creates a Small Panic.
A cat created a brief tempest in bowdoin
snuare yesterday, and it was this way:
An Italian of generous girth keeps a little
fruit-stand in that quarter, and \m chief
pride is iv his oranges, which he stack*
up iv one huge (widen pyramid, with the
a[:ex of a single orange nicely poised on
top. The aforesaid cat, being hotly pur
sued by a dog, thought he saw a coigu of
vantace iv the pyramid and made a wild
leap for it. Of course it gave w»y, and ttie
more the oranges fell the more frantic wer>i
the clawings of the cat, until in a sort of
tre:idraill fashion she scattered the fruit all
over the street. The small boys reaped a
harvest, and the grief of the Italian was
pitiful to Bee. he had recovered the
better pnrt of his stock in trade he seized
the. feline by the neck and gave her one
mighty shoot up an nlleywuy, from which
she returned no more. And then peace
came down on tbe square again.— Boston
