A FEROCIOUS DESPOT. F HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGES PERPE TRATED BY BALMACEDA. s C Miarbarous Punishment jnllictedl Upon C Those Who are Supposed to SympathINe I t With the Itevolutionimts-A Iteign of U Terror. i NEW YomK, Juno 22.-Many start- c ling facts in connection with the revolu tion now raging in Chile, which throws a light upon the ferocity and despotism of P 1.almaceda, are now given to the public for the first timo throui the United I 1l Press. The three gentlemen, two of j Whom are prominent Chileans, from g whom these facts are obta'.ned, are at C present in New York, ha-lug arrived here last week. They havit, witnessed i the conduct of the revolution from its inception, and speak fron ,lual knowl. edge. The combined stories of the three show that Balmlaceda is well termed the j "tyrant,"' n Santigo, where his head- 1 ilu irters tire, no one dares to utter a I word against him. Ile has a cross of 0 red painted on all the houses of people I whom he suspects are not wholly in ' s3mpathy with him, and into these marked remidences iiis police and sol- t diers go at any hour of the day or night. They ransa'ck the rooms, on the ground that they are looking for re volutionists who arc supposed to be hidden there. The soldier demand wine and food, and atiler having a. good a time as they wish, depart, only to repeat the ofiense in some other marked residence. The pco P10 in these houses are forbidden to lock their doors. No one is allowed to ride on horse back through the streets after 5 o'clock lin the afternoon; nio three persons ie allowed to walk the streets in company It. any time of the lay, and no two per 8011S can stald and converse oil the street. It is a veritable reign oW terror for all who. either through 1'ar- or mter est, have failed to cast their fortunes with Balmaceda. The storekeepers and all who employ laborers have to Furnish each one with a Iag, showing that. they are regularly ei Idoyed by such a ierehant at such -I p1ace. It' the laborer is caulght on the street, going to or froimi his work, with fiit this tag lie is gobbled up by the sol diers of Balimaceda and impressed ino hii service. This system exists in Va- t paraiso also. V One of the gentlemen referred to was S walking along the street past a .ilil yard.

INDIANO1OLIS, Juno 19.-"We don't erve colored people here," said a waiter 3 f one of the leading restaurants of the 1 ity. 'lIow do we do it?' Well, we do c ot decline to feed them. This is a lie way we get around the law. A col- a red man comes in and takes a seat I t the lunch counter. Ile calls for pork pj hops, say. We say, 'Are you willing to il ay our price?' ie Invariably answers, c Nhat am the price ?' And we mention v rate so high that he departs without r rdering to seek a more reasonable a lace. 11 "Out in Washington where I used to ii rork," said he, "the restaurant's have ii nother way of evading the law which a 18100 iine for declining to serve a ne- t ro. There they keep two bills of fare, c ne for the whites and one for the t lacks. If a colored man takes a seat s a a restaurant the waiter places before i im the 'black' bill of fare,which reads ( omnething like this: 'Two boiled eggs, t 5 cents; pork chops, $1 ;lham and eggs, -i 41.50,' etc. Of course he (oes not order I nd he never returns to that restaurant. i 'lie corresponding articles in the 'white' ill of fare are: Say 20, 30 and 40 cents. I t was through the misuse of these two I ills of fare that I lost my job there. I Lbsent-nindedly I gave a -white' bill I f .fare to a smart colored department i nessenger. Of course he ordered and I ias allowed to eat. It could not be elped. The next day he returned, but his time he was given the 'black' bill f fare. To our consternation he gave he same order he had the previoue lay. But this time I gave him a check or $1.75. Ile walked up to the cashier nd plinked down a half dollar piece, aying he would dtuplicate his order of he day before and would pay the same ate and no more. lie threw the half lollar in the glass case and made a break j or the door, but we seized hini and I ocked him up in a room while I went I or the police. When .1 returned with blie coat he was gone, having jitmped mt ,through a window. lie had the I roprietor arrested. The jiudgo lined jim :l3M, holding that a public caterer .otild not charge one price one day and miother the next." One strange feature abot this t vasioni of the law is that colored wait- i rs are the most zealous in excluding ( olored men from the restaurants in E vhich they work.

Sunsine was about the average nount which was very benelicial to al 'ops, and, while no excessive rains ( est ructive winds nor hall was reported, ti t. nevvrtheless, the constant showers tt tid the heavy and continued rains of sI w prvevious weeks have kept the lands r( )o wet to perform the u1siial amount of h irn labor, and the result has been b hat a large portion of the cotton crop t i in the grass, and in some instances C ,most hopeler-sly ruined.

Ny-w Yon.*, June 22.-The Now ork Herald says that the National nion conference held recently in Cin. innati, is not to be poh-hoohed away s an Insignificant gathering of cranks nd soreheads. Following this the [erald continues: "Party leaders, Re ublican or Democrat, who look upon with indifference or treat it with ridi ule, fail to see its significance and its rarning. Admit that the interests rep esented are diverse, even incongrous nd discordant; that visionary schemes iay be favored and extreme demands iade. It may be that no practical agree ient will be reached, no platform dopted, no third party formed. All his signifies nothing. The real signifl ance of the event is rather in its origin han in what may be its immediate re uits, in the causes which have led to it ather than the effects which may now ome from it. Frumn this point of view lie gathering on the banks of the Ohio epresenting as it (oes the Partners' Al lance and the Knights of Labor to say iothing of other organizations, is more Ignificant than any so-called third par y movement we have had in this coun ry for years. The greenback, the pro nbition, the woman's suiff rage and even ,he labor cause have appealed to spec al classes of limited numbers. They acked the elements of national itrength, and consequently of national chievemient. Different from all these s the movement now looming up with crowing importance especially in the west. We have said that its signiii ,ance is in its origin, its cause. That ause is party politics. It is a deep seat 3d grievance felt by the farmers and he wage earners of the country in con legltence of the sliamneful disregard of ,heir interests and welfare shown by the >arty in power.

BAD FOR UNCLE SAM. A Case Involving Mlions Decided I Agalnat the United States. I'IILEDELPIA, I'A., June 19.-.The jury in the suit of Meyer & Diekinson ' against the Government, to recover the s excess of duties levied on the material C used as hat trimmings, this morning returned a verdict of $632.40 for the plaintiff. The Government will appeal from the verdict to the Supreme Court. r By the verdict of thejury in this case the Government in made liable for from t $20,000,000 te $30,000,000 that it has col- a lected in duties from importers of t: millinery materials in various parts of f the country. The suit of Meyer & y Dickinson was a test .suit, and was in- t tended to test the right of the Govern- c ment to collect (uties on goods in t dispute. Other pending suits are affect- t ed by the verdict, and that is where the f large amount of money and the great interest taken by the importers comes 11 in. 6 The importers claim the goods in i question to be hat trimmings, and to 2 be dutible at 20 per cent advalorem un- p der the clause of the Act of March 3, t 1883, which provides for hats, etc, s materials, braids, plaits, laces, trim- r mings. willow, sheets and squares used a for making ornamental hats, bonnets h and goods composed of straw, chip, o grass, palm-loaf, willow, hair, whale- p bone, or any other substance or material s not specially enumerated or provided ri for. The Governtn et clatms that they ii are dutible at 5 per cent ad valorem. a under the clause of all goods wares and b manufacture of silk, or of which the c silk component material is the chief value. 0 'The question arose by reason of the si omission in the Act of March 3. 1883, of it the word "vegetable" from the hat t] material clause in the former Act, and ei was first brought before (he Court in ' this jurisdiction on April 6, 1886. In h the case of Langfeldt vs IIartranft, in n which cotton-back ribbons were the h articles before tho Court, it was C decided by Judge McKennan that if p the jury believed that the chief use ( to which the ribbonis were put was r( for trimming lats, bonnets and hoods, tt then it was subject to 20 per cent duty. bi The jury found in favor of the plaintif, ti andI Jdge McKennan's ruling was i aillrmed by the Suprene Court. By this m decision 6,000,000 were refunded to the t: plaintilfl. Afterwards,intheNew York in jurisdiction, a similar question was de- st ideo in the case of Edelhloflf vs Collec- d Lor, in which the articles imported were of Lised as hat bands, and in th:at case also cc 'he decision was in favor of the im por- le; .er, as its chief use was for trimming ats. and the decision was siffirmned by ,he Supreme Court. or Excursion of the Teachera. re 'lhe following interesting informa- !1' Jon about the meeting of the Southern im 1"ducational association, to 1u held on It ookout mountain, Chattanooga, July B 1, 9, 10 and 11, is furnished by Prof. W.
