Report tht tin Chariostoa Will Aoaodeo the Attempt to Capture the Iteta. Paris, May 21. Delegates from the congressional or insurgent party of Chile, who are now in the city, say that acting upon instructions, they present ed a note to Held, United States minis-ter here, asking him to communicate with his government and ask the United States olllciais to countermand the in-structions sent to Captain Komy of, the cruiser Charleston in regard to the pur-suit of the Itata, and Reid transmitted the request to his government, with the result that tho United States ollicitiis acceded to it. Washington. May 21. Secretary Tracey says there is no truth in tho re port from Tans that insurgent euvoys have induced the United Sta.es govern-meu- t to discontinue the pursuit ot the steamer. "Fur some time past." Said Tracy, "the governments of France and Brazil have been with' the government of the United Slates t,o se-cure a restoration of peace in Chile, Therefore, if it should be made apr.u-eu- t to the United States government through suggestions of the French gov-ernment or otherwise that the object for which the ibree fcTcat republic is now striving, a restoration of pei.ee in Chile, can be brought within reach by relaxing the pursuit of the Itata, it may be that this course will be adopted, es-pecially as it can now be asserted that the United Mates has med "due dili-gence' in its effort to preserve honora-ble neutrality." Takih, May 21. The Chilean agents in this city who represent the congres-sional or insurgent party declare th.it au arrangement has" been matin between the congressional party and; the United States authorities by which the insurgent steamer Itata which is now being chased down the weBt coast uf America by the United States war-ship Charleston, is not to be seized by forcu by the Charleston or by any other vessel of the American navy. By tho terms of this arrangement the agents state the fugitive craft will be handed over by the Chilean insur-gents to the United Slates authorities pending a settlement of the question in dispute' as to whether or not the Itata violated the neutrality laws. This action it is added, will be taken without preju-dice to the congressional party, inas-much as the Itata has enough start of the Charleston to enable her to reach a port in possession of the congressional party and to unload there before she is surrendered to the United Slates. Washington, May 21. The Paris dispatch stating that the Itata was to bo peaceably surrendered to the United States by the insurgents upon her ar-rival in Chile was show to the officials of i he navy and state department today but one and all declined to discuss the matter publicly. Nevertheless it can be stated stated positively that there have been no negotiations as reported between the insurgent agents in France or elsewhcr and this government.

The Actor believes that dilllculties will soon arise between Chile and Peru. The latter country, he says, is fostering the revolution, and a large amouut of English gold comes from there for the revolutionists. A NOTED DESPERADO KILLED.

When the National Union conlereuce reassembled yesterday afternoon Ignatius Donnelly, chairman of the committee on resolu-tions, climbed upon the rostrum, and almost his first words caused a whirl-wind of excitement. The declaration from Dounolly which set the convention wild was that bo was there to report that the committee on platform was a unit for the organization of a third party, Two alternatives were present-ed, he said, either to ignore the third party or divide the fiiends of reform. He gave way to Robert Schilling of Wisconsin, secretary of the committee who read the platform. It is as fol-lows: - The Platform. . 1.

A Burst of Kuthusiasnl. The name of tbe new party, the "Peple'e Party of the United States," elicited a magnificent burst of applause and as each plank was reread the cheering was renewed frequently, and the great hall seemed to reverberate continuously. One plank recommended universal suffrage to favorable consid-eration, and another demanded the payment of pensions on a gold basis. The former met with rather a chilly re-ception, but the latter was rutfudly cheered. At this juncture a delegate objected that the platform was one sided for the farmers' alliance, but he met with little encouragement. Schilling announced that the pension plank was left to the soldier member on the committee, with the inquiry whether it was and on his satisfactory, acquiescence it was adopted unanimously. Amid a perfect cvoloneof enthusiasm a delegate moved the adoption of tho platform as road. 'The convention went wild and the delegates mounted chairs and tables, shouting and veiling like Coinanclies. A portion of'the conven-tion, in a thunderous chorus, sang to the tune of "Good Bye M v Lover Good Bye," the words "Good bye old parties good bye," and then the "Doxology." A Prohibition Plank. Several delegates urged the adoptioa of the report, but tho enthusiasm had to have vent, and one after another the orators aired themselves.

Tlie Failure ot the Brokerage Firm ot Sutierl, Bostvrick Ai Martin. New York, May 21, A morning paper says the failure of the insurance brokerage firm of Satterlee, Bostwick As Martin is announced. From charges made by the most reputable underwriters of- ISrew York and from the president or resident managers of tho greatrst insurance corpora-tions of the country it appears that for nearly a year certain members of the firm have systematically funds placed in their hands for the payment of various corporations. Tho failure was an inevitable conse-quence of these transactions. The amount involved in this neglect to pay premiums aud losses which this firm collected e.s agents reached nearly Slot), 000 but owing to sacrifices of prop-erty owned by the two elder members of the house the sum has been lessened considerably.
