DISGUSTED DIPLOMATIS‘I'S.
The Foreign Representatives Threaten

at Once Stopped—President
Balrnaccda Begs for Time.
BU’ENOS AYRES, Jan. 28.—Thc news from
the seat of war in Chili Tuesday was of a
most exciting character. The war vessels
of the revolutionists have taken up posi-
tion in the roadstead off Porto Coquimbo
and have commenced bombarding the city.
Regular troops, which have been hurried
to the defense of the beleaguered seaport
from Valparaiso, are now quartered in the
Laserena hospital and the various school
buildings.
Such of the residents of the place as are
able to do so are hurrying away from Porto
Coquimbo to Coquimbo proper or La Se-
‘ rena, capital of the province of Coquimbo,
seven miles northeast of the port.
The Rebel Fleet Active.
The revolutionary fleet has alSO block-
aded the port of Tongoy, and the govern-
ment has dispatched 3,000 troops under
command of Gen. Torborallis to the reliei
and re-enforcement of that place. It is re-
ported that a battle has occurred at Ton-
gay between the government troops and
the insurrectiouary forces, but nothing is
yet known as to the result of the engage-
ment, if one has actually occurred.
THAT SILVER POOL.
lledonbcrg Is a. Lobbyist. but Doesn’t
Know Anything- .‘Ibout It. '
(JlnicAGO, Jan. Lil—John IV. I-ledenbcrg,
who has been referred to lately in connec-
tion with the pending investigation into
silver pools, has just returned from Spring-
field, and will proceed to Washington in
two n- three days in response to a sum-
mom to appear on Saturday, Jan. 31, be-
fore the committee having charge of the
investigation.
In an interview he said: “I have had no
connection with any such pool, and have
no knowledge of the existence of one,
though I believe that such pools have ex-
isted and may still exist.‘ I think it well
to reserve comments until I see the testi-
mony as officially recorded before the com-
mittee. It seems to me that this commit-
te‘e has been appointed as a kind of a drag
net for catching political fish; in other
words, It is mostly politics. I do not hesi-
tate to state that I have expended consid—
erable money in the way of influencing
legislation, of which I am willing to give
the committee all knowledge. .
“My last act in connection with this mat-
ter was a communication addressed to the
present speaker of the house of represent-
atives regarding the silver bill now pend-
ing before the committee of coinage,
weights and measures, and he no doubt
will be willing to give the committee any
facts connected therewith which may be
thought censurablc. But I think if the
public should know in what manner I have
expended money on this question, it
would be thought legitimate and com-
mendable. 7’

A Diplomatic Threat.

War in the Tahiti Islands.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.——The bark City
of Papeete brings news that the French
government is slowly gaining posses-
sion of the Tahiti islands. The island of
Raietea, seventy miles from Tahiti, is now .
the scene of the principal trouble. About
5,000 people inhabit the island, and the
French have bribed one of the chiefs, with
about 2,000 followers, to consent to French
rule. Fully 3.000 natives are camped in
the mountains and are waging war on the
bribed chief. The French have two men-
of-war there. but they do not interfere.
Many of the chiefs hope that the United
States will take possession of the island,
and are accordingly resisting the French.
The natives are supplied with arms and
ammunition by schooner-s supposed to be
American.

some way scaled a smooth wall, the side of
the jail corridor, to a trap door twenty-five
feet above the floor, through which she
passed into an unused upper portion of the
jail, and from there she reached the roof
by breaking the. skylight. How she reached
the ground from the roof of the four story

apparent is the water spout. She has been

A.VOLUNTARYTDEATH.
I knew Louis Mirazwcry well, in the old
student days when we used to take our
meals together.
Louis had the deep eyes, the pale com-
plexion and the long and disheveled hair
of all those young men who came to town
from the country to conquer glory.
He was a writer. I soon found his name
in Sunday journals and reviews. and then
he beganto write those short and exquisite :
sketches which have made his reputation.
Thus five years passed, when I met him
one day in the editor’s office of a journal
for which I worked.
Each of us was as much pleased as the
other at thus meeting again; and after the
first “What! is that you? Is that you ?” we
stood facing each other, shaking hands
and exposing, in a. laugh of cordial delight,
our teeth, which in old times we used to
exercise on the same crust of poverty. He
had not changed. He had not eveusacri-
ficed his long hair, which he threw back
With the graceful movement of a horse
who tosses his mane. Only he had the
clear complexion and calm eye of a. con—
tented man, and his slim figure was clad in
most fashionable costume.
“We won’t drift apart again, will we?”
said he affectionately, taking me by the
arm; and he led me out in the boulevard,
Where the April sun gilded the young
leaves of the plane trees.
Ah, happy day! How we exhausted the
“Don’t you remembers?” “Do you re-
member the fried eggs which tasted of
straw, and the dreadful rice milk, the mel—
ancholy air of your landlady, and the Ger—
man who used to pawn his watch every
three months?”
Those days of hardship for Louis were
finished. He had from afar applauded my
success, as I had watched his. But one
thing I did not know, and that was that he
had married a woman Whom he adored,
and that he had a charming little girl.
“Come and see them; you shall dine
with me.”
I let myself be persuaded, and he carried
me to a pretty suburb, where he lived in a
cottage among the trees. There every-
thing made you welcome. N o sooner had
we opened the door of the garden than a
young dog frisked about our feet.
“Down, Dick! He will soil your clothes.”
But at the sound of the bell Mrs. Miraz
appeared at the steps with her little daugh-
ter in her arms. An imposing and beauti—
ful blonde, her well molded figure wrapped
in a blue gown.
“Put on a plate more.
rade with me.”
And the happy father, keeping,r his hat
onhishead and caressing his little girl,
showed me all over his establishment—the
dining room, brightened by light bits of
faience; the study, abounding in books,
with its window opening out on the green
turf, so that a pull of wind had strewn
with rose leaves the printer’s proofs which
were scattered on the table.
“This is only a beginning, you lenow. It
wasn’t so long ago that we were working
for three sons 3. line.”
And while I luxuriated under a blossom-
ing Judas tree which I saw in the garden,
hIiraz, at ease in his home, had slipped
into his vorking vest. put on his slippers,
and, lying on his sofa, caught little Helen
in his arms to toss her in the air—“Houp
la! Houp la!”
I do not remember ever to have had a
more perfect impression of contentment.
We dined pleasantly—two good courses,
that was all; a dinner without pretense,
where we served ourselves with the pepper
mill.
The charming wife presided with her
bright smile, having her child by her side
in a high chair. She spoke but little, but
her sweet and intelligent attention fol-
lowed our light and paradoxical chat, the
good humorcd fooling of men of letters,
and at the dessert she took a rose from the
bouquet which ornamented the table and
placed it in her hair near her ear with a
supreme grace. She was indeed that love-
ly and silent friend whom a dreamer re-
quires.
lVe took our coffee in the study—they
intended to furnish the salon very soon
with the price of a story to be published
by Levy; then, as the evening was cool, a
fire of sticks and twigs was built, and
while we smoked, Miraz and I, recalling
old memories, the mistress of the house
holding on her knees little Helen, now
ready for bed, made her repeat “Our Fath-
er” and “Hail Mary,” which the little one
lisped, rubbing her little feet together be—
fore the warm flame.
We saw each other again, often at first.
then less frequently, the difficult and com-
plicated life of literary labor taking us
each his own way. So the years passed.
“We met, shook hands. “Everything go-
ing well?” “Splendidly.” And that was
all. Then, later, I found the name of
Louis Miraz but rarely in the journals
and periodicals. “Happy man; he is rest—
ing." [said to myself, remembering that
he was spoken of as having made a. small
fortune. Finally, last autumn, I learned
that he was seriously ill.
Ihurried to see him. He still lived at
the pretty suburb; but on this somber day
of the last of November the little house
seemed cold, and looked naked among the
leafless trees. It seemed to me shrunken
and diminished, like everything that we
have not seen for a. long time.
The dog was probably dead, for his bark
no longer answered the sound of the bell
when I passed the little gate and entered
the garden, all strewn with (lead leaves
where the night’s frost had withered the
last. Chrysanthemums.
It was not his wife—she was absent—it
was Helen who received rue—Helen, who
had grown to be a great girl of 14, with an
awkward manner. She opened for me the
I’ve an 'old com-
‘door of her father’s study, and brusquely
lifting her great black eyelashes turned
on me a timid and distressed glance.
I'found Miraz huddled in an easy chair
in the corner of the fireplace, wrapped in a
sort of bedgown, with gray locks streak-
ing his long hair, and by the cold, clammy
hand which he reached toward me, by the.
pallid face whice he turned upon me, I'
knew that he was lost. Horrible! I foundin.

“Ah, well, old man, things are not going-

out stupidly with consumption, as they do
in the fifth act, you know, when the ven-
erable doctor, with a head like Beranger,
feels the first walking gentleman’s pulse,
and lifts his eyes toward heaven, saying,
"l‘he death struggle approaches!’ Only
the difference is that with me it continues;
it will not conclude—the death struggle.
Smoke away; that doesn’t disturb me,” he
added, seeing me put my cigar one side,
his’ cough sounding like a. death rattle.
I tried to find encouraging words. I
. talked with him, holding him‘by the hand
' and patting him affectionately on the
shoulder, but my voice had in my own l
ears the empty hollowness of deceit, and
Miraz, lookingat me, seemed to pity my -
efforts.
I was silent.
“Look,” said he. pointing to his table;
“see my work bench. For six months I
have not been able to write.” . ,
I made a new attempt to revive him.
Die, at his age! Nonsense! He wasn’t
taking care of himself. He must pass the
winter in the south; drink a good draught
of sunlight. He could. He was easy in
his money matters.
But he stopped me, putting his hand on
my arm.
“Listen,” he said gravely. "“76 have
seen each other seldom, but you are my
- oldest, perhaps my best friend. You have

to tell you something in confidence for
you to keep to yourself unless it may serve

every six months, and which represent $800
ofiincome. It is rare in our profession, and
to gain that poor hoard I have been obliged
to imitate the unsociablc virtues of a miser,
know how to deny a jewel to my Wife, a
dress to my daughter. But at last I have
that money. And I often said to myself, if
I should die their bread is assured, and‘hete
is a. little marriage portion for Helen! And
I was content—I was proud !—for I know
them, the stories of our widows and our
orphans, the fourpenn y help of the govern—
ment, the tobacco shops for 600 francs in the
province, and, if the daughter is intelligent
and pretty like mine, the dramatic author,
an old friend of the father, who advises her
to enter the conservatory of acting, and
who makes of her—mercy of God! that
shall never be.
“But for all that, my boy, it is necessary
that I should not linger. Sickness is ex-
pensive, and already it has been necessary
to sell one or two bonds from that drawer.
To seek the sunlight, as you suggest, to
bask like a lizard in the tropics, one more
bond must go, and there would not be
enough to last to the end if I should wait
for seven or eight years more, now that I
can no longer ivrite.- Happily there is
nothing to fear. But What I have sulfered
since I have been incapable of writing, and
have felt my hoard of gold shrink and
diminish in my hand like the ‘Magic
Skin’ of Balzac, is frightful. Now you
understand me, do you not? and you will
no longer bid me take care of myself. No;
if you still pray to God, ask him to send
me speedily to the undertaker’s.”
Fifteen days later some thirty of us fol-
lowed the hearse which carried Louis
Miruz to the cemetery. It had snowed the
day before, and Dr. Arnold, the old fre-
quenter of painters’ studios, the friend and
physician of the dead man, walking behind
me, called in his brusque voice:
“Very commonplace, but always terri-
ble the contrast; a. burial in the snow—
black on white. The funeral of the poor.
Brr!”
At last we came to the edge of the grave.
The place and the time were sad. Under a.
cloudy sky the little yew trees, swayed by
the wind, threw down their burdens of
melted snow. The bystanders had formed
a circle, and were watching the grave dig-
gers, who were lowering the coffin by
cords.
Near a cross bearer, whose short surplice
permitted the bottom of his trousers to be
seen, the priest waited with a finger in his
book, and, having grasped the rim of his
hat under his left arm, the orator already
held in his black gloved hand the funeral
oration, hastily patched up by the aid of a.
comrade over a couple of glasses at the
corner of a cafe table.
Suddenly, as the priest began his Latin
prayers, Dr. Arnold seized me by the arm
and whispered in my ear:
“You know that he killed himself?”
I looked at him with astonishment. But
he pointed to the group in black, composed
of the pretty widow and her daughter,who
were sobbing under their long veils and
clasping each other in a. tragic embrace,
and he added:
“For them. Yes, for six months he threw
all his medicines in the fire, and designed-
ly committed all sorts offimprudences. He
confessed it to me before his death. I had
not understood it at all—I, who had ex-
pected to prolong his life at least three
years by creosote. At last the other night,
when it was freezing cold, he left his win-
dow open, as if by forgetfulness, and was
taken with bleeding at the lungs. Yes,
that he might leave bread for those two
women. The cure does not dream that he
is blessing a suicide.

“Men marry women every day,” she
said, “who are faded, old and of dubious

young girls. But‘the girls didn’t know

lEill’l‘LAal), MADE.
And the best lam
ever made, like Ala -
din's of old, a “won-
derfullamp!” Allmp ‘3
absolutely non-
explosive and un-
breakable, which
gives a clear, soft,
brilliant white light
of 85 candle flower!
Purer and brighter
than gas light, softer
than electric light,
more cheerful than
either! That lamp Is
“The Rochester.”
And with it there is.no smoke, no smell,
no bra/cm chimneys, no flickering, no sweating,
no climbing up of the- flange, no “ taptrums"
nor annoyance of any kind, grid It neyer
needs trimming. Its founts (all reservou's)
being tough rolled seamless brass, with cen-
tral draft, it is absolutely unbreakable,
and as safe a: a fallow candle.
Only five years old, and over a million and a
half in use. It must be a GOOD lamp to
make such a telling success. Indeed it Is,
for lamps may come and lamps may go, but ,
the “Rochester” shines on forever! We
make over 2,000 artistic varieties,—Hanginz
and Table Lamps, Banquet, Study, Vase and
Piano Lamps,—-every kind, in Bronze, Por-
celain, Brass, Nickel and Black Wrought Iron.
Ask the lamp dealer for it. Look for the trade-
mark stamp: “THE ROCHESTER.” If he hasn’t
the genuine Rochester and the style you want,
or if no lamp-store is near, send to us for
free illustrated catalogue (and reduced
price-list), and we will box and send you any
lamp safely by express, right to your door.
