ThE CHILIAN WAR.
BALMACEDA, THE UICTATOR, COM
PLETELY OVERTHROWN.
Peace and Quiet Soon Looked For.-Senes

--Tha Capital City Surrenders.
VALI'ARAISO, Chill, Aug. 30.-Santi
ago has been formerly surrendered, the
triumph of the Congreassional party is
complete, and peace and quiet may be
loked for in Chili before many days
have passed. After the crushing defeat
which Balmaceda's forces met with at
the hands of General Canto'R troops on
the hills back of this city Friday, and
the subsequent entry of the con(luering
army into Yalparaiso, the fall of the
capital was only a question of time.
Balmaceda seeing further resistance
useless surrendered his capital and fled.
The Insurgent fleet came into the bay
y,sterday morning and found conven
ient anchorage ground. The sailors
were greeted almost as enthusiastically
as were the soldiers when they entered
the city Friday.
SENOR MONTTE A KEs CHAn E.
Senor Don Jarge Montte, chief of the
Junta Da Gobierno, came in with the
fleet and took charge of affairs immedi
ately on his arrival. The first business
to be transacted was the formal capitu
lation of the city. The I oreign admir
als have had a general supervision of
affairs in connection with Senor Walk
er Martinez since Friday, and a confer
ence was held at which were present
Senor Montte, Senor Walker Martinez,
the foreign admirals and the late in
tendente, Viel. Senor Montte an
nounced that the only terms he had to
offer were the unconditional surrender
of the city, and of all olicers and troops,
as prisoners of war. lie had no terms
to offer to civil oflicers, and had no
pledges to give. These terms were,
perforce accepted, and Senor Walker
Marti(z was continued as intendente,
until the arrival of the Junta from
iluiti(ue, when finial arrangements will
be made.
MOST EXEN111LAHY BElLAviOt.
The behavior of the insurgent troops
since their entry into the city has beenl
most exemplary, perfect discipline has
been matitained and oflicers and pri
vates have endeavored to keep the un
ruly elements here in order. This is next
to impossible, however, as the town is
crowded with disbanded soldiers, and
disorderly characters of all kinds. Many
of thema have visited Friday's battle
field and possessed themselves of' rilles
and ammunition. Fights and riots are
of constant occurrence in the streets
and several people have been killed by
the rioters.
INCE-NDIAnYATEPT 'EQ N.
Incendiary attempts are fretluent,
and fears of a general conflagration are
entertained. Strong patrols of soldiera
are o.At through the streets constantly,
and the fire department and suburban
guards are on duty all the time. .lly
their active work no serious outbreaks
have occurred, and as summary justice
is dealt out to men found leading dis
orderly demonstrations, it is altogether
probable that order will be secured and
maintained before very long.
BLUE JACKE'is ON HIAND.
In the ineantiie a batallion of 100
marines and blue jackets from the
United States ships, under command of
Lieutenant Comniander It. F. Tiey,
executive ollicer of tiue San Francisco,
has been stationed at the American
consulate and will look after A merican
interests generally. Similar action has
been taken by the other admirals, arnd
they wvill act ini concert if the occasion
dlemandsl. This, how ever, is not re
gar(feed as likely.
N'ow that fuller details of tile fightintg
of Frhday are at hand, it appears that
the jealousy and bickering of Ihilace
da's generals was largely resp)onsile for
the overwhelming defeat. They had no
concerted plan of action, and the battle
was f ought on1 their side with absolute
ly no regardi for tactical advantages.
Their mten were brave enough, buttti hey
were, it is now pretty certain. simp)ly

Every possible effort is being nmade
by the Congressionalist leaders to dis
cover the whereabouts of lialmaceda,
but they have not succeeded in I inding

Len letters four or five days ago to Dr.
J. William Stokes and to Sne!ls Alli
ance, but had not seen them in print.
Asked about their purport, the Senator
gave the Following as a rough outline of
what he had written:
To Dr. SLokes tie had first presented
a brief statement of the facts 'of the
Prosperity meeting. Ile (Butler) had
been invitel there. Stokes and his
friends ha<l arranged the terms of the
debate, and the Senator had acceded to
them. The Senator then took Tie
State's stenographic report of' the
speeches, statin" it to be absolutely cor
rect, and showed that, according to it,
Stokes had donc him grave imjustice.
which lie ruquested hii to correct in
The State, so that, its realers, who had
been inforind of' his editorial, night see
his reoly.
"I note." lie said, "6that you predicate
your editoi-ial upon the report in the
News and Courier. This report was
not it stenoraphic report and did not
purport t.o be such, but it is not amen
able to the construction you put upon
it. The :,ssue is between yourself anid
myself, and I will be obliged if you will
give ie your individual recollection of
what I saI. You replied to me in a
half hour. and if I said what you charged
me with saying, why did you not rebuke
1mo in your presence-you, who claini
to be the sp.vial champion of the far

To Snell's Alliance, Orangeburg
County, Senator Butler wrote in stib
stancee as Follows, his letter bing ad
dressed to tihe president:
"A frieid li:s han(led ic a copy of a
paper containing your resolutions, as

the source of thie information upon which

never stivimnatized the farmers of' South

opinlonl 01 me it you stllpose for one
moment that I am to be diverted from
the path of duty, as I see it, by any
such threats. I may not live to see the
election ol' my successor, but If I should,
I shall abide the consequences with re
asonable complacency. There are some
thinigs dearer to ie than holding office
-aiong them are my own self-respect
and Freedom of conscience. I would
not surrender these for all the ollices the
State could bestow u)onl me. The peo
ple of South Carolina sent me to the
Senate, and when they retire me, I shall
make io complaint. But one thing is
certain: L do not intend to permit polit
ical hushwhackers and guerrillas to get

There was no washout, antd the bridge
was not broken down.
'I'he railway ollicials -ay that the dits

Standing on thme bridge andi looking
down upon01 the mnassa of broken cars,

is to marvel at the fact that out of lif
ty people who went (down in the fear

Alt night long corpses were being

Wounded who were scattered throughl

night wouuld be broken at intervals by
the (lead wagon rumbling over the
streets on thle way to the depot with a

Statesville never knew such a night.
The (dead were nleve-r more tenderly

they could for the dead arid injured.
At nightfall they found that in their
care were twenty-one dead bodies and
twenty-eight wounited people.
Nearly every one or the deaud was
crusihed In the had.
The reporter drew aside the blanket
rom one corpse, and started back at the
4ght. It was the body of Mr. Brodie,
he Chicago drummer. Death had come
o him quickly, and his features re
ained an expression of horrified fright.
[lis eyes were wide and staring, and
us mouth way open.
Another corpse showed no outward
;Igns of injury at all, while upon still
mother no marks could be seen except
)ad bruises on the eyes.
Each corpse was dressed and placed
.n a neat casket. The casket was boxed,
kd as soon as instructions could be re
,eived for the shipment of the body, it
would be sent to the depot.
There were still a dozen bodies in
-4tatesville this morning.
It now appears pretty plain that this
twful disaster was the work of tramps.
A rail had been loosed. After the ac
!ident it was sevi that the nuts had
)eefn unscrewed and placed on a rock
near the bridge, and that the spikes had
been drawn.
A short while previous to the acci
lent two tramps had been put off a
rain near the bridge. They were trou
blesome fellows, and the conductor had
to use force to eject them.
The belief is that these tramps took
lip the rail in a spirit of revenge. They
were going in the direction of Salisbury.

every effort to catch them.

FACTS ABOUT OUR OWN STATE.
Icott,ilg Iiin.g o fromii the lureau of
Statiti CA in Wathington.
W AS111NOTON, Aug. 28.--It is said
most of our torists see foreign lands
before they are fully acquainted with
their own country, and in the same
way many students of history and cur
rent events gi v'e their mind to foreign
Governments before fully alive to home
matters. Tht- bureau of statistics of
the treasury department has been get
ting together some interesting and use
ful information relating to the States,
their people, productions and industrial
pirstuis, which convey in a compact
form 1much useful knowledge. Your
correspondel't has collected such of
thei as pertain to South Carolina.
To start at the initial point It can be
said t hat South Carolina has an area of
31,000 square iniles, or 21,760,000 acres,
with a population of 1,151,149. The de
velopment of the State has not been so
rapid as mnight be desirable, but the ad
vance has been steady from year to
year. Ieginning with the first census
in 17( South Carolina ranked in popu
lation as seventh among the "original
thirteen," the numwr of people then
being 2111,073; by 1800 it had reached
sixth place. Then, owing to the gigaln
tic strides made by the West, it com
nenced to fall back in rank while
steadily going ahead, until in 181K) it be
came twenty-third on the list. lie
tween 181k) and 1870 thee increase of
population did not reach two thousaid,
largely owing to the casualties of the
war, and no doubt also to imperfect
enuinieration.
The public school system of the State
cost 815;0,3991 annually, taking the last
ligures for a basis, of which the teachers
and( suplerintendents receive in salarIes
$101,581. Tfhese teachers number 4,250;
umales, 2,210; females, 2,040. T1hie -nuim

sc'hools is 1941,2s;4. For the higher edui
cation of thme young of both sexes South
Carolina is as well p)rovlided for as thme
iverage State. Thecre are live theolog
enl schiools, with 275 pupils studying

mmy of the working p)eople of thme State.
touth Carolina wvage-earners have a
larger amnount ,f mony in the savings
banks thman caii lie shown by7 any other
Southeurn State, Again, with the ex
oeptioni of' GeorgIa, It hais a larger numul
ber of' deposit.ors. Th'le figures for
Southi Carolina are as follows: Nuim
b)er dlepositors 21,885; almounrt of detpos
is $3,271,410; average to eachi depositor
3 119.82. The deposits have increastd
uhiring the last year in the sum of
$577,h55i.
Ift is the usual assunmption in some
luiarters, that Southerners are a liquor
uirinking people, andl that in the South
the trade particularly flourishes. 'The
statistics, however, (10 not bear otit any
such coiiclusions. If they prove any
thing they prove that the South is not
u good field for the temperatre advo
aates. In the whole of South Carolina
there are but 1,029 persons engaged in
the liquor trafllc, and this includes
wverybody, from the distillers and
brewvers to the country grog shops;
while in little Lthode Island 2,056 such
[lenters cani be scored up. Little U hody,
too1 leans toward prohibition.
' he number of miles of railroad in
operation in South Carolina 1s 2 328, as
agaInst 1,427 miles in 1880, showi'ng an
increase in mileage of 901 mIles in the
ten years.
All told, It only remains to be said
that South Carolina makes a good
showing In thia exhibit of the States.
