Meeker discloses the horrible fact that all of the women who were held as captive by the Indians after the maseacrcat White Klver were subjected to the most ignominious treatment at the hands of the brutal savages. This faet wan given in evidence before the Commission, but out of consideration for the feelings of the women concerned, it was notgiven to the public Feminine Patriotism In Peru. A letter from Lima, dated Nov. V2f says : 44 During the past few days some scandalous scenes have been enacted here and in Calloo. A few months ago a decree was issued ordering all persons born in Chili to leave thu country. Large numbers left nt once, but some 100 or &0O women remained. The greater number of tliee were married, many of them to gentlemen of fortune

and position, and the husbands!, both native aud foreign, had anticipated their wives would lie allowed to remain unmolested. Not a word would have been said on the subject, and probably the matter would never have been noticed, had not tlie women in I'isngua been so scandalously abused! Hut on receipt of the painful information, the women of the loivcr class became furious, and demanded that all Chilians should be expelled from thu country. They formed themselves into lmnd's, and proceeding to the houses in which it was known that Chilians resided, demanded they should be taken to the police depots, to be sent thence to Chili. In several instances the clothing was torn from the backs of these victims to patriotic fury, and in all cases they were subjected to vituperation of the vilest description from the women most active iu the work. During two days much agitation prevailed among all who had relatives or connections here who had been born in Chili, and to whom the decree could bv any means be considered to apply; ut calmer counsels soon prevailed," the disorders were suppressed by the police, and all attempts to renew them were promptly put down. Peruvians married to Chilians could offer no excuse for retaining their wives in the country contrary to "the law, but foreigners have refused to comply with it, on the ground that the wife talces the nationality of the husband. As a rule, f however, the fright these scoundrels have caused among the community has ln'cn .so great that a number of ladies born in Chili, although of foreign parentage, have determined to leave tlie country, and some take their departure j by the steamers which sail to-day and to-morrow. Much of the trouble would have lieen avoided had the police acted energetically from the first moment." Thc tse of Pain. The power which rules the universe, this great, tender power, uses pain as a signal of danger. Just, generous, leautiful nature never strikes a foul blow; never attacks us behind our backs; never digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; never wears a smile "upon her face when there is vengeance in her heart. Patiently she teaches us her laws, plainly she writes her warning, tenderly she gradu ates her force. Long before the tierce, red danger light of pain is Hashed, she pleads with us sis though for her own sake, not ours to be merciful to ourselves and to each other. She makes the overworked braiu to wander from the subject of its labors. Slip turns the over-indulged body against the delights of yesterday. These are her caution signals, 44 Go slow."

ScetLondon, Dae. 29. A porlioa of tits brhhi roi tlie Frith of Tay waa blown down while a train from KtMoburgk t Dundee waa crowning at 14 minutes past 7 o'clock ltt night, A dfepateh says that the train wwt botuid for Dundee, and hul (arrived t.af at the south end of tlie brhka erowlngihe Frith of Tay, ahortly after 7 o'clock. The bridge wan Intact at the time, for signals were given to allow her to unt. The wires were Interrupted a few minutoa thereafter, ami no further communication oould he obtained. Immediately aft or the disaster large quantities of wreckage and clothing, and d.v London mail-hagi for Dundee and Aberdeen drifted ashore, and lira o'clock all the beach was strewn with the remains of broken carriages and piece of brltlgework. It is not known how many pasteiigera were on the train at the time of tlie disaster, but the number iu etliaated to have been 1 mm 170 to JU0. ADDITIONAL I'AHTlCUrK9. Tho portion of the bridge which fell eoasisted of several large aupcrincuiubent girders at the central and navigable portion of the river, which average from 40 to 4b feet iu depth. The train would fall about fcftftet before reaching the water. Some time elapsed before the nature ef the dwaster woa ascertained. The damage to the wires on the bridge and the badness of the weather interfered with thetrauwitihsiou of the news, and it is unknown whether the girders were blown down before the tntlu entered the bridge or were carried away with it, and it will probably never be ascertained, aa there are no survivors. The bridge was only opened for liullic in May, IfiTS. It was considered a triumph of euglucerlng skill. It was about two miles long aud had & apuns, the widest of which was 245 feet. At tlie highest point It was 130 feet above high water. The train left Edinburgh at 4 :1ft lit the afternoon. It consisted of four third-elm oars, one first-clats aud one second -c!.n and a brakeuian' van. At the last station before entering the bridge tickets were taken, and the train was then crowded. Vast quantities of wreckage, such as doors and roofs of carriages, piers of the bridge and articles of weariug apparel, are coining ashore. The entire KJ girders of the long central spans of the bridge are gone. The night was a bright tnoouiight one, but the wind was blowing a hurricane. The Pro vot of Dundee ami u party of citizens who accompanied him iu a steamer to the seeue of disaster returned at 1 p. m. Search was made about the bridtre in small boat, but no trace of any survivors could be found. Tka gapIn the bridge Is about a half mlfc long, eoiapridng 11 of the longeet spans, carh -'!" feet In length, and ouo span 145 feet In length. The Government lias sent two Inspectors to ascertain the particular of the disaster, and has also directed format Inquiry Into the occurrence. Divers have thus far been unable to discover the wrecked train. The place where the train sank Is full of quicksands, and If the lnxlies of the drowned are not recovered within a few days they will become imbedded with tho cars beyond recovery. The tidings of the disaster were rirst. conveyed by a gentleman who had left his honse with a friend while a southwest gale was Wowing with all its fury. They bessm dlsciissiiir whether on such a night the Edinburgh train would venture across the britlse. They then went to the Ulock Telegraph sig-nal-itox at the north end of the brklie, where they found a number of men also anxiously awaiting information on thu subject. Some of them asserted that they had &een the lights of the train in question enter on the bridge and cross the lower spans into the high girders; then they saw a sudilcn shower of lire, which, with thu lights of the train, seined to descend with great velocity Into the river. Then perfect darkness followed. Minutes and minutes parcel, but no signs of the train Were seen, and people asked themselves were these really the Iigh)s of the Edinburgh train they had seen o suddenly quenched. The horror-stricken beholders made vehement appeals to the signal man to Ascertain the truth. He replied that all he knew of tho matter was that the train had been signaled to hint from tho south cud of the bridge at nine iHlinitt psst 7 o'clock. Discovering no indlc.ttlons of the approach of the train, the alarmed signal man endeavored to telegraph to the south cud of the bride, but communication had ceased. T1IK LOSS OF I.tt'K. Dr.c. 20 (J p. m. The railway authorities now estimate the total number of lives lost at r. A telegram from Dundee states tlt only At passenger tickets were taken up at the last stopping-place, but these do notaccount for the number of young children requiring no tickets, for the number of railway employees), nor for the number of passengers for Itroughtv Fcrdy, whose tickets were not taken up. However, if this Htatemcnt is correct, it is evident the loss of life has been greatly overestimated. Various account agree In placing the total loee of life at IK). .
