To the Editor of Tun Bnr.i On behalf of the people's independent party 1 nsk space to denounce the outrageous nbuso of power which characterizes Mayor Cushlng's appointment of Judges and clerks of election.

With the exception of n few names this bus been denied us. The voting booths have boon stuffed with demo crats of the rankest kind , and It looks to us ns though it were the Intention of counting- out rather than votlng-m candidates. An honest , ballot and a fair count can only bo hod whore representations of the contending parties can watch ouch other. God knows wo cannot trust the democratic machine. Wo denounce Mayor Gushing for nn out rageous act of political shame ; an act which will prove an otcrnM stigma and disgrace which will stay with him while ho lingers In the private life that it will forever consign him to. Wo appeal to all lovers of fair play , to all citizens who rccognl/o the Importance of a pure ballot to rebuke this viio political trick. The rank and llio of the democratic party nrowo Icnow.anxioUs fora falrcotintlt ; Is the machine ut which wo and they kick. If our candidates , Dr. Conkling and the others , nro deprived of n single vote by this villain ous act of abuse of power , you , democrats , will bo responsible on election day for the debuuchery of our city politics.

The double loaded dose of malignant fiction published in the World-Herald regarding the judge's private lifo nas acted as n boomerang here. It bus created n strong feeling in Post's favor among the political classes of the county and lowered the already low esti mation in which the World-Herald is held in this community. There is hardly a demo crat who , when asked his position on the supreme premo Judgeshlp , but declares emphatically tor Post in preference to voting for Edgorton.

CHILI IS INCLINED TO BE ARROGANT , Uctnnndfl nftho United States Not Ac ceptable to Chilian Authorities Jiullulnt Authorities IIIVCN- the Assault. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Oct. 29. There Is little or no excitement In official circles hero this morning over the Santiago press cable gram nnuounclnir the receipt by Minister Egan of an unsatisfactory response from the Junta to tbo representations of the United States and saying the Baltimore's crow Is practically boycotted at Valparaiso. Naval oftlclals discredit the latter statement , and believe its foundation lies in the prudent course adopted by Com modore Schloy respecting the granting of liberty to its sailors during the present con dition of excitement. No word has been re ceived nt the Navy department from tbo commodore respecting any now phase In the situation. A cipher cablegram from Minister Egun ns received this morning at the State department , but Its contents were not made known. It was nearly noon before the cablegram was translated and laid before the president. An hour afterwards messengers were dis patched to Secretary Blaluo and Secretary Tracy , requesting tholr presence nt the White house. The secretaries promptly re sponded to the president's summons , Secre tary Blulnc coming over from his housa ana Secretary Tracy from the Navy department. Up to this time it had been understood that Minister Egan's cablegram was to bo made public a' , an early hour , but as the consulta tion ran along tt was apparent that some cause for delay had arisen. Secretary Tracy stayed an hour at the White house and returned to the Navy de partment , but hud not boon there long before ho was recalled. Naturally these movements gave rise to all kinds of moro or loss wild speculation us to the nature of Mr. Egan's dispatch and the Intentions of the covorn- mrnt. mrnt.Vnen \Vnen Secretary Tracy again omcnrcd from the white house ho refused to make any statement whatever respecting the Chilian correspondence , on the ground that the De partment of State had the matter in charge. Secretary Blnlno appeared to bo In gooJ spirits when ho came out of the white house and stopped Into his carriage to go homo. Ho had nothing to say about Mr , Egan's message - sago , but intimated that when the proper time had elapsed the public would bo In- formcu of the facts. Soon after 0 o'clock an ofllcial statement of the contents of Minister Egan's dispatch was uiado public. It road as follows : Iran's DlHpatcll. "Tno Department of State voccived this " morning u"telegram from Minister Egan , dated Santiago , October " $ , in which ho gives the following as the reply of the Chilian gov ernment to the presldont's'tologram of Octo ber 23 , asking reparation for the recent mur der of American sailors in the streets of Val paraiso : The mlnlstorot forol ; : " alTiiIrs roplles that the covormnont of the United States formulates demands und advances throats thatwithout being cast back \vlth uciliuonv , are not accep table , nor could they bu accepted In tlio pres ent c.iso or In any other of llle nature. Ho does not doubt thu sincerity , rectitude or uxpurtncsb of the Investigation on board thu lliiltlmore , but will recognize only the jurisdiction and authority of his own country tn judge and pun sh the guilty la Chilian territory. He says the administrative and judicial authorities , have been Investigat ing affairs : that judicial estimation under Chilian law Is secret , ami the time has not yet arrived to make known the result ; when thrft tlmo does arrive he will communlcacc the result , although hu docs notieco nUc any other authority competent to jutl o criminal cases limn that established by thu Chilian people. Until tuo tlmo arrives to disclosu the result of the Investigation ho cannot admit Unit thu disorders in Vaiuaralao or tlio silence of his department should appear r.s an ex pression tit unfriendliness towards the gov ernment of the United Mutes or that It lmll put In peril the friendly lolatlons between thu tuo countiles. " Up to this hour , when tin above statement was made public , no reply had boon made to it.Vhat will bo the nature of Secretary nialno's reply is altogether a matter of con jecture. The most plausible theory advanced is that the suggestions courteously and di plomatically convoyed in Acting Secretary Wnarton's dispatch , that this government had no doubt investigation would bo made and reparation afforded , will now bo renewed in the shape of a stern und formal demand for some immediate assurance of proper ac tion on the part of the junta , and that if these are not forthcoming Minister Egun will take passage on the Baltimore to the United States , thus severing diplomatic re lations between the United States and Chili. What a. Naval Olllocr Thinks. Captain Erben of the navy yard in Brook lyn , has made this statement ; "It is the opinion hold at the yard that the trouble between our government and Chili will not go so far as to necossi.ato the send- inc to Valparaiso of some of the cruisers. Nothing ofllcial relative to the course of the government has been received hero. "In case it should become necessary to send part of the navy to South America not more than four ships would bo needed to carry on our operations against Chili am ! its navy. There are not moro than three or four war ships In Its nnvy which could offer resistance to our cruisers. It is hardly probable that England , Uormany or any of the great powers o ( Europe would interfere between the United States and Chill should war result be tween these countries from the ro'ont epi sode at Valparaiso , and If it should bo considered necessary to send our navy to the South Paclllu there would bo no need of holding back a number of warships to pro tect the coast In anticipation of trouble with European governments. "As far as Germany Is concerned , the ad miral of her navy has stated that ho believed the treatment of the American sailors as an outrage , and that the United States govern ment had a right to reparation. "Encland , however great may bo Its com mercial mid financial interests in Chill , will never take hides against the United States In trouble ruing from the recent outrage. "To get the cruisers und other vessels now hero in condition for the voyugo would take but a few days. The repairs on the Atlanta could be completed In a week or ton days. Tlu trip fiom hero would bo to St. Thoniab where the vessels would coal up , from tnoru to Per- iminbueo , to Rio Janeiro to Montevideo , around the cape and up the coast to Vnlpaiiso , a distance , re/uglily speaking , of r..OJO miles. This could bo covered in from forty to llfty days and in oven loss time bv some of the cruisers nt extra speed. "Tno statement made that a land force could co-ororato with the navy bv having troops carded to Colon and across the Isth mus of Panama , and thence by transport steamers to Valparaiso Is impracticable for the reason that the United States of Colum bia would not allow foreign troops in tlmo of war to cross at that point.

" The Telegram , referring to the Chilian ombroglto , says : President Harrison was perfectly justified In acting as he did. Doubtless Minister Egan's appointment has turned out to bo tbo worst that could have ! been made. His action was a notorious violation of the obli gations of neutrality. But there is no reason In the world wliy thd Chilians should adopt n doll in t attitude. 'If ' they refuse to make nn investigation and to punish the guilty persons they wcro acting under the impulse of insensate ferldo. It will bo necessary for the United1 States doubtless sorely against her will to give them a sal utary lesson. " The Chronicle thinks the affair is hardly n matter for war or oven a mobilizing of the United States navy. It r.avs that Chill will doubtless find It moro prudent to apologize , punish the assailants of tlio Anieiican sailors and pay a compensation rather than to risk her ironclads in an encounter with the United States.

This morn ing there was under the presldonco of Presi dent Carnet n meeting of the ministers , when the question was decided. MM. do Froycinet and Itlbot urged their colleagues that the government should tnko upon itself the defense of American t commerce , The ministers thereupon decided to ask the senate to suppress thu prohibition and tax American pork 20 francs per 200 pounds. All members of ttio senate nt present in Paris attended the sitting. M. Loroyn pro- sided. After voting a credit for a. small amount they arrived at the discussion wnich interests us. Ono sees at once when the op position arises. M. Koch , minister of commerce , demands urgency , that is that ono debate , not two , will cause the project to become a law. M. Fcroy supports the gov ernment , M. Larelnty attacks tt. Finally the urgency Is voted mid the discussion commences. M. Frosnny ( conservative ) speaks first ngaiust the project. Trichinosis overwhelms him , because in two mouthfuls may bo absorbed 40,000 trichtnl , mid ho urges that American pork is a great propigator of trichinosis. Moreover , ho holds all over seeing is impossible at unloading. He pro poses to throw out the project as a law with out oven discussing its clauses. M. Cormoll replies to him. Ho is qualified to do so , for us well as being n senator , Cormoll is n doctor of medicine , a member of the Academy of Mcdicino and u doc tor In the hospitals of Paris. Trichinosis can bo only n danger amongst the Germans and Sclavs , who eat meat raw ; but there Is no danger after the pork has been cooltcd two or three hours , ns is the case in Franco , "and , " ho adds , "raw hams oven these from French pigs are dangerous. baiting , oven when not well performed , suffices to kill trichinosis. There is not , therefore , from n hygienic point of view nny objection to allowing the entry of American meats. " One knows but ono Individual case of trichinosis in Franco and that came from a French pig. The minister of commerce finally rose to make his speech. IIo nsks that American moats bo allowed to outer. If American meats are dangerous , Americans would be. [ Laughter. | All Amorirun moats nro im- Iportodjto/jBelgium nnd tl orq Is no slc npss ; In" England , tie 'lUnoss ; ' theroMs'l'lnoss ' in' Germany , but no American pigs , but Ger man pigs. If ono maintains that prohibition. It is hurtful to the Interests of thu French workmen , who cat this meat , which is health , ful. "It is apainst Gorman pork , which is sick , that wo nsk measures taken. fAp- nlauso. ] There are no reasons why wo urgently nsk for votes. The United States has addressed us with claims which wo find to bo just. They are unobjectionable. Wo cannot refuse to the United States what has already been afforded them. Wo are on too good commercial relations with them. Wo will discuss tomorrow the llguro of duty , but you cannot hesitate to vote the principle. Wo have confidence In your foresight , and your patriotism. [ Much upplause.J The president rings his bell and announces that a vote is about to bo taken. Officers of the senate with their silver chains go 'round with urns , into which the senators put blue papers showing they refuse , white papers saying they accept tlio suppression of prohi bition. The secretaries count the papers in open baskets. The presldontrlngs again. Ho proclaims the result. By 179 votes against 09 the senate decides on the suppression of prohibition. Tomorrow wo shall know what American moat will pay as duty for entry. Accordl.ig to the general opinion If the government sliowaitself cnurgotio it will carry off n second victory and the duty will only bo 20 francs. In uny case It is certain the day's ' work has been good for American commerce and for Franco-American rela tions. JCQUHS Sr. Giiu : : . irir.i. ru-ru .1.1 UK ri.r..isis.

The Injury U not of n serious iinturo , but on account of the swelling Dillon must keep quiet. Consequently the injured piirlinmon- tnilun has censed his work of canvassing on bohnlf of the nominuo of the iMcUurtli.-lto party. The lighting which took plnco between the McUurthyltes nncl the Parnellltos last night in the streets wits moro serious than nt first appeared. There was a series of scrimmages- between tlio contending p.irtios , the moat suvoro being Clio ono In which Dillon \vn disabled.

Blackthorns , bricks mid stones wore used by both parties. 1'nmlly the Mo- C'.irtliyltcs succeeded in wrenching the lurches from the hands of llio I'arnollltos. The victorious McCarttivltes then con tinued their innrcli. Upon arriving nt the market place , where the meeting was held , O'Bricn ' addressed about Ji.OOO MeUarlhyltos. In the ineanwhllo the routed Pat-noil lies , \vith roinforccnientii , made another onslaught upon the McCarthyites. Tlioy charged into the square , slashing right "anil loft with their blackthorns an.l bplitting many heads. The McCarthyites , though tney fought des perately , were slowly driven back. Then for a time the Pari.cllitus held the market place. The MeCartyitos soon found strong rein forcements , and tuus strengthened they again mustered In a compact bodv and made a dash at the Parncllites. After a most itos- por.ita battle the I'arnellitoforco was routed. Many on both sides were Injured in addition to tlioJo altoudy reported as having beciv taken to the hospital to lutvo their wounds attended to. Similar scenes , though on a somewhat moro modest scale , occurred nt Haiulou , twenty miles from hero. During the light a. number of contestants on both sides were severely cut and bruised.

Mr. O'Connor Indignantly declared that ho would never speak to Mr. O'Bncn again , for when ho Interfered to preserve pence at the afternoon meeting Mr. O'llricn ' had the au dacity to say : "Como with mo , John , I will protect you. " Late tonight a force of Parnollltcs marched out mid made an attack on an miti-Piirncll meeting. A terrible light ensued.

The threat ened molco wus averted , however , by the action of herculean Jonn O'Connor , who used freely his massive form through the dense ami excited ciowd toward the spot where the car containing Mr. O'Brlon was standing. Arriving at the car Mr. O'Connor held a hurried and whispered conversation with Mr. O'llrion ' , and Dually the two men linked arms mid in this manner passed through llio crowd ami walked away in the uirection of the hotel. This had n very good effect upon tba crowd , for , scolni ; the opposing momberj so friendly with each other , the partisans of Mr. O'Brion and Mr , O'Connor ' allowed their ardor to cool and order was sooi. restored. In splto of his doctor's orders , Mr. Dillon drove out this afternoon and addressed sev eral meetings , the McCarthyltes being moro afralu of the quiet canvassing of the union ists than of the work of the P.irnellites. They argued that Mr. Kcdmond has little chance of winning rf scat which Mr , Paniell himself fourod to vacate , and they openly acc.uso Red mend of merely deslung a theatrical exit from Irish politics , knowing that his own elector * ere about to reject him for a Mo- Carthvlto.
