' SIEGE OF CIIITRAL. SufTerlnica of the llrttlsh Officers and Sepoys Mine Destroyed. LONDON. May 2. The Times to-morrow will publish a lengthy dispatch from Chitral, describing the siege of the fort at that place, in which the British Surgeon-major Robertson shut himself up, with his escort of three hundred British and native Indian troops, when Sher Afzul captured Chitral. The garrison, it appears, had supplies which, on short rations, would have lasted until the middle of June. But they had little or no meat, and were reduced to eating horseflesh. The Sepoys, when relieved, looked like corpses, and the officers were pale and worn, but they were confident of being able to last it out. although they could only have done so with terrible privation. The discipline and steadiness, as well as the enthusiasm, of the Sikhs is described as magnificent. On ore occasion those who were In the hospital rushed out to take part In the defense. The garrison began Its defense under depressing Influences. There was an Ineffectual sally on March 3, and the besiegers started correspondingly elated. On April 7 Captain Townsend. the military officer, noticed that the enemy had been playing tomtoms oiltside of the fort, which they had captured, and It struck the captain that this might have been done to drown the noise of mining. After careful listening, a faint sound of a pick was heard about ten feet from the southeast tower. Thereupon, Lieutenant Harley and a party of forty Sikhs and sixty Kashmir troops was toled off for a sally. Taking with them 150 pounds of gunpowder with which to blow up the mine, the door of the garden on the east side of the fort was opened quietly and the sallying party rushed out with fixed bayonets. There were a few straggling shots' and the summer house was taken. Thirtyfive of the enemy were bayonted as they came out of the mine. The powder bags were then laid and the mine blown up. The sallying- party afterward hurried back to the fort, having lost eight killed and thirteen wounded. The enemy lost sixty men, nearly all of whom were killed. AXAnCHISTS OX TRIAL. Seven Italians Charged with Killings nn Editor. FLORENCE, May 2. The trial began in this city to-day of Orestes Lucchesti and six of his .Anarchist accomplices, all of them being charged with the murder, in July last, of Signor Bandi, editor of the Gazette Livornesse, of Leghorn, and agent in that city of Reuter's Telegram Company, of London. As Signor Bandi was entering his carriage on the morning of July 1 last he was set on by a then unknown man and stabbed in the abdomen. He died from the effects of his wounds a few hours later. The crime attracted wide attention, owing to the fact that it was generally supposed that the murderer's motive was to avenge the Anarchists, whom Signor Bandi had bitterly attacked in his journal. The murder was committed on the day that President Carnot. of France, who was assassinated by Santo Cesario, an Italian, was burled In the Pantheon, in Paris. Signor Bandi had written strongly against men of the Cesario type, and thereby Incurred the anger of Lucchesti. who was a dangerous Anarchist leader. The police soon learned that Lucchesti had committed the crime, and that he had had a number of accomplices, who had assisted him to make his escape after the stabbing had been done. A vigorous search was made for these men, and Lucchesti was arrested in Corsica, whither he had fled immediately after the" murder. His accomplices were also located and taken Into custody, and have been held until to-day awaiting trial. English Flnnnces. LONDON, May 2. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, presented the budget In the House of Common's to-night. He estimated the deficit would amount to $319,000, which would be converted Into a surplus of $181,000 by the reimposlng of a duty of 6d per gallon on brer. The only other proposal was to abolish, the extra 6d duty on spirits, which was imposed last year and which proved unsatisfactory. In regard to last year's budget the Chancellor of the exchequer said that there was a surplus of 776.000 Instead of the estimated surplus of 291,000. He added that the tea receipts were 3.700 and the tobacco receipts. 136,000 pounds above the estimates. Continuing-, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that the returns gen erally shojv that the condition of the masses slightly improved in 1834. He added: "There was a less sum paid for consumable commodities imoorted and while we required a large quantity, we paid several millions less for our food supply." Sir William also said that the national debt now amounted to C60.000,000, being a reduction of 100,000,000 in twenty years. The Pope's Political Testament. LONDON, May 3.A dispatch to the Standard, from Rome, says that the Pope has sent to all Cardinals, heads of orders, etc., a document referring to the political conditions of the papacy, which takes the form of his political testament. His Holiness reviews the history of his accession to the See of St. Peter and makes a warm appeal to the Cardinals at any future conclave to keep his Ideal before them and continue the policy he has hitherto pursued. He requests the cannnais tonasien me election of the next Pope as much as possible so as to give no time for outside Intrigue or jealousy of the powers to influence In any way the free votes of the Cardinals or to place difficulty .n the way of the newly-elected Pope. The whole drift of the document is to secure as his successor one who will 'continue his policy and efface at the moment of the conclave the divergencies at present existing.

Everybody knows how the average , bicycle rider haie. a dog.' and from a scene witnessed nt Proad and Walnut streets yesterday afternoon, it would appear that the dislike Is mutual. Two very intelllgentlccfclng collies had stationed themselves at the intersection of the two thoroughfares, both of which are extensively patronized by the wheelmen, and seemed to have lots of fun. When a bicycle would appear in sight they would both run at It, barking llercely, but really seeming to regard It all In, the light of a great Joke. Most of the riders, fearing an accident, would dismount. Then the dogs would sit on their haunches, waar their tails and appear to laugh at their own joke. But no sconer would the rider remount his wheel than the dogs would again return to the attack, following their victim sometimes for a couple of blocks, during which distance the luckless cycler would be compelled to dismount time after time. . The two dogs kept this up for over an hour, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy their sport. Indlann OH Down to 75 Cent. LIMA, O., May 2. Another reduction In oil has been made.

The popular Interest in the fuoJect which seemed likely to grow Into the Populist idea some time ago has now disappeared. It is only occasionally that one meets a Republican who declares for free coinage without regard to the action of the other financial leaders In the family of nations, and these go no further than to favor coinage at a IS to 1 ratio of the American product. Before the campaign comes around next year the people will be well Informed on the subject and will in general approve of the policy of the Republican party." , Or.

IT .MIST BE WORTH 10U CEXTS ANYWHERE IX THE WORLD. Speech by the "Spell-Hinder" After 0 the Dedication of Detroit's A'evr Chamber of Commerce. DETROIT, Mich., May 2. Appropriate ceremonies In honor of the completion of Detroit's magnificent Chamber of Commerce building took place this afternoon. The building, situated at State and Griswold streets, is twelve stories high, besides a commodious roof house. It embodies the latest Improvements and conveniences, and contains the handsomest exchange hall in the United States. Its total cost is nearly $000,000. This evening upwards of 350 leading business men of the city, with their puests. en joyed the banquet given at the Hotel Cadillac in celebration of the dedication of the new building. After upwards of an hour's discussion of the elaborate menu, the company listened to exceptionably able discussions of interesting subjects to the commercial world by representatives of leading business and financial interests of. the country. The guests were welcomed 'by Rufus W. Gillett. president of the Detroit Chamber of Commerce, ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, presiding as toastmaster. The first toast was eloquently responded to by the Hon. W. C. May bury, of Detroit. His subject was "No North, No South. No East, No West, but the Commercial Supremacy of a Great Nation." "Commerce of the Inland Seas" was responded to by Harvey D. Goulder, chief counsel of the Lake Carriers Association. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew was then introduced and spoke on "The Union of States the Bond of Commerce Is Their Mutual Dependence and Knduring Prosperity." In opening Mr. Depew said that while business men might differ politically the various chambers of commerce considered only the questions affecting commerce upon the recognized principles of commercial prosperity, the immutable laws of trade. "Thus it is," he said, "that the commerce of the United States is the ever-strengthening bond of union of the commonwealths which constitute the Republic." He referred to the necessity for the association of Interests and capital, and said: "There is no more beneficent form of association than these boards of trade and chambers, of commerce which are now established all over this country. They are the sources of commercial and national union in a republic. In time there will be a central chamber of commerce in Washington, in which all of these bodies will have representation. "When a business man becomes a member of Congress the effort to spread. himself over this great country seems to so thin his " grey matter as to make him incapable of bringing to the Nation the same common sense which made him successful at home. The most remarkable illustration of this Is the Congress that has Just adjourned. Instead of relief we had a babel of propositions which only added to the general confusion and made the day of the adjournment of Congress a day of national thanksgiving. The National Chamber of Commerce would be a kindergarten on economical and financial questions for the Instruction of the members of Congress." The speaker went into details on the freight rates qf the world, showing that in this country the rate per ton was only one-third that of Europe. Continuing, hesaid: "The international commerce of the United States makes our country the most wonderful market ever known. Our internal commerce is so vast that thft sum of the traffic of Rome, when she commanded the world; of Genoa, when she was queen of the Mediterranean: of Venice, when she commanded the seas, are but as rivulets to the Father of Waters. "We will always and must always avoid complications in European and Asiatic politics, but no foreign power can exercise a hostile authority in Hawaii, or Central America, or Mexico, or our sister republics of the southern hemisphere, without receiving from us protest and resistance. "How are we to preserve our prosperity? With confidence a business of incalculable magnitude can get along with very little . currency; without confidence there Is not enough money in the world to conduct the business of the United States. We have been at the bottom, and we are on the up grade of prosperity. We should have a revenue system so well defined that it could not be disturbed except in minor details for a generation. While not discussing tariff or free trade, we should have a revenue system which will meet the requirements of the government and to support it without direct taxation. The United States is a debtor national, municipal, railway and individual to the extent of about $14.0X),00,OCO. Of this one-third is held abroad. A well-defined policy to pay our debts at 75 cents or at 50 cents on the dollar would lead to two thousand or three thousand millions of dollars of our securities coming home for us to take. The presentation of them in our markets would endanger the stability of every bank, derange every exchange and paralyze every Industry in the United States. There can be but one standard of value, and that Is a metal which will bring the same price whether it is in bar or has the stamp of the government upon it. A dollar must be worth a hundred cents anywhere in the United States and a hundred cents any-' where in the world.". "The Effect on Commerce of Pooling by Transportation Lines" was responded to by George R. Rlanchard, commissioner of the Central Traffic Association. Hon. O. D. Ashley, president of the Wabash railroad, responded effectively to "Commerce and Transportation; One and Inseparable." Hon James H. Eckels, Controller of the Currency, respondeq to the toast, "Currency." Letters of regret were read from President Cleveland, ex-President Harrifon and Senator Burrows. y AGAINST SOUND MOXEY. Silverlten Trying to Offset the Coming MemphiM Conventlou. "MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 2. The movement in opposition to the "sound money" convention to be held In this city May 23 assumed definite shape to-day. The Central Bimetallic League of Tennessee was organized; a silver convention to be composed of delegates from the South and West was called to meet at Memphis June 11 and 12, and extensive plans were outlined for the propagation of the doctrine of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 15 to 1. A manifesto, which is to be widely circulated, was issued. Congressman Bryant, of Omaha, has accepted an invitation to address a mass meeting in this city on the evening of May 24, immediately following the assembling of the sound money convention, the feature of which will be an expression by Secretary Carlisle of his views on the financial question. The leading advocates of free silver from both houses of Congress from the States that are expected to send delegates to the June convention, will be invited to be present and address the gathering. County Committee Overridden. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, 111., May 2. Tht Vermillion county Democratic central committee made a proposition to call a county convention for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Springfield convention, but it was voted down, only three members supporting it. The central committee then selected these delegates to represent Vermillion county in the State convention: A. L. White, A. R. Orr. J. M. Daugherty, J. J. Campbell, E. H. Uaughans, William Briggs. Perry Jumps and W. H. McMartlne. They are all free-silver men. The central committee gave these delegates Instruction to vote for free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and to accept no other compromise as a solution of the money question. A resolution indorsing Governor Altgeld, after being offered, was withdrawn. Some of the delegates said the central committee had been called together for that purpose. The Delaware LeRlslntnr?. DOVER, Del., May 2. Unless a joint resolution rescinding its former action can be passed in the General Assembly, which is hardly probable, the two houses will adjourn sine die at 3 on the afternoon of May 9. From present indications there is no doubt of adjournment, as the Democratic Senate, even If the Republican Housa could muter enough votes to extend the session, would oppose such a resolution. They desire to have the legislature adjourn without electing a United States Senator. This seems to be the wish of at leat four of the supporters of J. Edward Ad licks. The latter has said that In such a contingency he would make a fight two years hence. Alabama. ItepuliIIcnnM I'niteil. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 2.-WillIam J.

OIL WORTH 91,200,000,000. Value of the Product Since Ita Discovery In America. "Gath," In Boston Globe. The "high-water 'mark In oil," to use a bull, recalls what Senator Brice said to me after Congress adjourned, that there was no more royalty, on coal or iron beds and that, the residuum of the oil product would be worked over and supply cheaper articles, possibly, than nature's reservoirs. In a few weeks this pessimistic view would appear to have been overthrown. Oil, par- ' ticularly, and In the vicinity o! Senator Brice's town of Lima, has leaped up to a startling and encouraging price. The best explanation Is that a rest had been given both the production and the market, till supply and demand and the return of Industrial confidence found their, occasion. Monopoly, too, must spend and speculate to keep ita throne. Conversation with Mr. W. Wickes. a party in the oil ptoduction, has brought out the following points: "What 13 the yield of oil, as far as known?" "The United States began with 2.000 barrels In the year of the discovery, 185?, went up to 2.3X),00a barrels in 1855, touched 10.009,003 barrels In 1S73, fell orT to 9.000,(XK) near the close of the Jay Cook panic In 1876, bounded up to 28.000.COO In 1881. and passed 33.000.000 barrels in 1S89; at which date the grand total of thirty years had been 408,000,000 barrels. After this came a fall-off." "Of what value in money has American oil been?" "Not less than ?1,COO,000,COO; in 1890 alone Sil.0CC.000. It is exceeded in value by cotton only among ttierican exports. Not even the development of American bridges, railroads, rapid transit in cities and electricity has surpassed it. The eight pipe lines and their feeders equaled in 1800 the circumference of the globe, or 2T,009 miles. The number of oil wells was 35.000 in 18S9. At that time $114,000,000 represented the capital at the sources of production, employes there 23.CO0, and wages near sa.ow.ow. "What is the Standard Oil Company?" "The highest organized mercantile corporation in America, perhaps in the world. lut its economies, commerce and monuments together and it is the nearest duplication of the Venice of the middle , ages to be found in the modern world. It starts at the wells and the barrel factories it invented, rambles over the mountains, refines where It disposes, matches the Hialto and follows its products in ships to the farthest and oldest cities of tne earth. "It undersells and over-lllumlnates any burning fluid known to man. Vet all its captains were unknown clerks till Grant's presidency. The oil wells of the Baku district in Russia had been flowing 2,500 years, and the Persian magicians before the time of Mahomet went to worship . their living fires, and yet a class of American boys wrested from them the lighting of the globe. They have shut up the great oil Held of Japan and knocKing its infinitely cheap labor out by their more inlinitely cheap machinery and science." "What is petroleum?" "Either organic matter, vegetable and animal, mixed in the rock stratum, on a chemistry of inorganic matter in the hot, steaming rock depths, where water is decomposed and carbonized, and is condensed as it rises toward our cool surface. The wells are from a tenth to a quarter of a mile deep, sometimes three-fifths of a mile." A I1IMKTALLIC CO.FEUE.Ci:. It Kndeil in the l ite of the eltser Hottie on the Conferees. Chicago Post.

New York Sun. According to a telegram from Calcutta, which we published yesterday, the expedition under General tir Robert Low has succeeded In its immediate object, that of relieving the British garrison of the fort near Chitral, which has for some time leeii besieged by the forces of one her Afzul, supported by I'mra Khan. the ruler of Bajaur. We presume that the English commanJer will now proceed to open and secure a direct and short road from Peshawar to Chitral, following his own line of march, and thus supercede tho previous circuitous line of communication, some tdx hundred miles long, through Cashmere to Gilglt over the hiRh passes of the western Himalayas, traversable only for seven months of the year. Where Is Chitral and what Is the ground of its importance to British India? The question is natural enough, seeing that even the borderland of the Punjab, on the west bank of the "Upper Indus, through which the present expedition had to pass, is as little known to Knglinhmen as the Interior of Africa. What information regarding it wai possessed had been derived" exclusively from native reports ani tfte narrative of one Kngllsh explorer, Mr. McNalr. ' This region, collectively termed Yaghlstan. is occupied by a number of highland clans, noted for ferocity and fanaticIsm, the more powerful of which are the Swatis, whose ruler, the Ahkoond, can muster ten thousand fighting men; the Yusufzals, who have twice as many swordsmen: the Utman Khel, north of the Khyber Pass, who can show a lighting strength of five thousand, and beyond them the Momands. who can bring twenty thousand guerrillas into the field. Through these tribes fc'Jr Robert Low has been forced to make his way, for further off than the Momands lie the territories of the actual belligerents, the rulers of Bajaur and Chitral. The former is the border chieftain. I'mra Khan, of Jhandol. who, by a series of aggressions, managed to unite under his sway the whole of Bajaur, together with the neighboring state of Dlr Bajaur, can furnish some 6,000 warriors, two-thirds of whom are, it seems, well trained and armed with rilles. In Chitral itself, the objective point of the present expedition, the troubles tegan on Jan. I with the assassination of the reigning Mehtar, Nlzam-uI-Mulk, by his brother, Amir-ul-Mulk. Another pretender presently appeared in the person of an uncle. Sher Azful, and, acting in the latter's interest. I'mra Khan invaded Chitral, attacked tho British forces stationed there, beaelged the British resident, Mr. Iloberson, In a fort near the capital, and cut off a detachment which was hurrying to Ids assistance. Up to the receipt of yesterday's dispatch it was feared that Sir Hobert Low. who had to march from Peshawur two hundred miles through a difficult country, and who was known to have experienced some losses, might arrive too late to save the resident. The strategic value of Chitral, which has only very recently been recognized by tha Calcutta authorities, is due to the fact that it constitutes a natural high road to India and southern Afghanistan from the north. It is. Indeed, the key of the Hindoo Kush. leading to three impracticable passes through that range and commanding caravan roads southward to Jelalabad and I'eshawur. It Is but a little more than two veara ago that a BusMan newspaper pointed out that if Bussia controlled the passes leading to Chitral her troops would only have tu march miles to enter Cashmere and start a rielng throughout British India. No sooner was this statement translated and published in London than the Calcutta government hastened to place In Chitral the. garrison which Sir Hobert Low has Just rescued from imminent danger.
