Minister Montt Has No Dispatches From His Government To-Day—An Impor- tant Session ofthe Cabinet— The Mem- bers Close-Mouthed — Comments of Press and People on the Special Mes- sage—The British View. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—The morning papers to-day contained an Associated Press dispatch from Santiago in which it was stated that the Chilian Government had sent areply to President Harrison’s ultimatum, agreeing to withdraw the offensive note cent by Senor Matta to all the Chililan Minis- ters abroad and acknowledge that its issuance was due to an errorof judgment. It would also withdraw its {request for the recall of Minister Egan and agrees to submit the affair of the attack on the Baltimore’s sailors in Valparaiso to the ar- pitration of some neutral nation. If this proposition is not acceptable to the United States Government the Chilian Government suggests that the matter be submitted to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United states. THE NEWS NOT CONFIRMED. If such action has been taken by the Chillan Government there Is no official corroboration of the facthere. Inquiry atthe State, War and Navy Departments at noon elicited the reply that nothing had been received there. Ifsuch a dispatch has been received by the State Department it would immediately be sent to the Secretary ofthe Navy. Secretary Tracy said he received nothing from the State Department, but did receive a cipher dis- datch from Commander Evans last night an- nouncing the fact that the Yorktown had landed the refugees. Inquiry at the Bilatne was met that he had nothing residence of Secretary with the statement to communicate. It 1s provable thatifthe Secretary is in posses- sion of acommunication from Minister Egan that he will lay it before the Cabinet meeting atnoon before giving it to the press. Minister Montt was seen as he was emerg- ing from the Chillan Legation this morning by a reporter, who approached him for news. The Minister declined to be interviewed and would express no opinion on the President’s message nor the manner in which it had been received by the American people. He was asked if be had received advices from his Government to the effect that Chill had agreed to the demands made by the United States. He replied that he had recetved no dispatches from Chill. The Minister showed no disposition to discuss Chillan affairs and the subject was changed to the windy weath- er that prevalls in Washington this morning. With a pleasant smile, the Minister said that Chili did not have such a cold, hard wind, but that the climate was balmy and soft. As tae route of the Minister led toward the residence of Secretary Blaine, he was esked if he was going to call upon that official this morning and disclaimed any such inten- tion. He, however, turned into the street leading to Mr. Blaine’s house and to the state Department. DISCUSSED BY CONGRESSMEN. The latest phase of the Chillan situation, as detalled in the cablegram from Santiago that Chill would yield, was almost the sole topic Oo! discussion among members of Congress to- day. There was a general feeling of relief on ill hands at what was looked upon as the be ginning of the peaceful ending of the contro- versy. There was considerable inquiry made ais to whether or not the dispatch was reliable and in all details correct, Some members afraid that later dispatches might ‘ify the statements made in the San- ‘dispatch and in the absence of official ration many Senators and Hhepresenta- ‘who were seen, were chary of express- Methelr views onthe matter. The general ‘Ohsensus of opinion was that the answer omitted, if correct, Was satisfactory to the ited States and all that could be de- handed, The only point mentioned in our ‘timatum which was not covered by the vspatch Was the demand for an apology. Nthis point the admission that the Matta te Was an error of judgment and the ec ofits withdrawal was considered to ‘ihe nature of an apology, and when with the expressions of deep regret, in the telegram of Minister Pereira 4, andthe note of Minister Montt of ‘and Jan. 21, were regarded as an ex- pression of good feeling On the part of Chill, and perhaps all that ought to be demanded. There waSno desire, members said, to press the Government of Chill, and they were dis- posed to accept the offer as entirely @atis- factory. It was pointed out that as the han Government had disavowed responsi- Dility for or sympathy with the attack om the sailors of the Baltimore, she would, naturally be cautious in whatever she said on this subject, as the Government’s connection with the matter would De one of the main questions on which the decision of either arbitrators or the United States Supreme Court would depend on considering the ques- tion of reparation, it Was generally canceded that the propos Non to refer to arbitration or to the decision the United States Supreme Court the en- tire Baltimore ineident, is a proposition which cannot well be rejected by this Govern- mont. WILLING TO ARBITRATE. ‘T\TEMENT OF A PRIVATE TELEGRAM FROM VALPARAIS0. New York, Jan. 26.—The Avening Post says: A private dispatch, sent at 9:45 to-day to Valparaiso, asking: ‘‘Is there anything nal confirming arbitration?’’ produced the reply; | Yes, willing to forego Gécision of Valpar- ‘!s0 Judge and to submit to Supreme Court ®t \Vasitington without farther resort, or to Qrhitration.’* — AT THE CABINET MERTING. PLAIN HAS NO NEWS FROM SANTIAGO—DIS- CUSSING THE SITUATION. > * who is in New York, aud Secretary Proctor, who is at Fortress Monroe. That the Chilian matter was pnder consideration is proved by the fact that a messenger from the State De- partment brought a dozen eopies of the en- tire Chillan correspondence rinted in pamphlet form to the White House about noon, and they were taken to the Cabinet room at once. While Mr. Blaine was walking from his arate to the Cabinet meeting this morning he asked ifareply’to the President's ulti- matum had been receiyed from Chilli, and he said that none had yet mn received as far as he was aware. Chili’s reply to the ultimatum would of course came through Minister Montt. Some delay would be unavoidable by the amount of time requisite to translate a cipher dispatch into ordinary Spanish and then into English and also by the fact. that official calls are not commonly made in Washington before the middie ofthe dax. The Cabinet meeting lasted about two hours and at its close there was evidence of a de- termination on the part of. thee members to give no information whatever on the subject of the Chijian controversy. It was generally expected that the press dispatch from Santiago would be supple- mented by some sort of official statement. But no facts of any kind could be obtained, although Secretaries Blaine, Tracy and Rusk and Post- master-General Wanamaker were individu- ally approached on the subject. At 1:40 5 m., the cabinet meeting ad- ter “very member present was asked f a reply had deen received from Chin and every one, as though concerted action had been determined upon, declined to answer. President Harrison was asked about the matter, but sent word that he would not say anything on the subject. Mr. Blaine, who before the Cabinet met, had stated that no reply he had heard of had deen from Chill, after meeting would not re- peat or confirm his former statement. It isthe neral belief based on the best obtainable nformation that Chill has not yet replied to the ultimatum of the United States. FORCING HARRISON’S HAND. DID HE KNOW WHAT CHILI'S REPLY WOULD BE WHEN HE SENT IN THE MESSAGE? WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—Soon after the House met to-eay Mr. Breckenridge asked for the immediate consideration of the following resolution: . Resolved, That the President of the United States be respectfully requested to inform the House whether any answer from our Minister to Chili, Patrick Egan, or from the government of Chili to the dispatch from the Government of the United Statesto the Republic of Chili on Jan, 21, andifsofrom whom such answer Was received, and at what time, and that he will communicate to the House all the correspondence between the Governmentof the United States, its Minister to Chill and the Chilian government not communicated to Congress with the message hereto- fore sent in. The resolution was referred to the Commit- tee on Foreign Relations. There was some attempt made to have the resolution referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Biount of Georgia, Chairman of the com- mittee, made a motion to that effect, but the Spenker ruled that the motion came too late, he having previously recognized Mr. Breck- enridge to debate the resolution. Mr. Breckinridge said that if the Chairman ofthe Committee on Foreign Affairs desired the resolution referred tothe committee he would make noobjectioa. But he wished to Say a few words on the subject. Congress had recently received a message from the President concerning a question of peace or war, under circumstances which in the nature of the case must be grave or the President would not have sent any message At all. Now it appeared possible that the Chiliaa Government did send an answer to the demand the President had sent. Congress knew the fact to de that on Jan. 21 a dispatch was sent to the Republic of Chill. Hedidnot now criti- cise the President for not waiting until an answer had been received or until time for such an answer had elapsed before sending the message to Congress. He did not now make any criticism either onthe haste with which the message was sentorthe language of the message, pending consideration of that republic of its action on the dispatch of Jan. 21. It must be remembered, however, that the language of that message to Congress could have been communicated tothe authorities of Chili, and might if no answer had been made tothe dispatch of Jan. 21, affect the nature of the answer that that Government would feel called on to make. Therefore, it was not too great a pre- sumption to indulge in thata President of a great and free people, pees | with a free, but feeble peopie, would not have used such language pending the consideration by Chili ofits apswer to that dispatch. It was not too great a presumption to indulge in that a grave emergency like that would have called from that due conrideration and ample time, if he had not had some intimation of what the answer would be. It was scarcely credible that the language, he would not say insulting, but so severe, used by him would have been used if he had belleved that a friendly and sufficient response would have been made to .he dispatch of Jan. 21. It was, therefore, not impossible that he may have had some intimation of what that answer would be, and yet that it was in such an unomcelal and informal manner received by him as to justifyehim in not putting it in his message. [Applause on Democratic side, The power granted aloneto Congress to deciar war the President has put upon us. We must face it and so decide that on the one hand the honorand dignity of the American people shall be upheld. No man in this House, no matter from what party he comes, nor from what section he may hail, but will at all hazards protect the humblest seaman that wears the American uniform, or guard at whatever expense the honorand glory of the American people. [Great applause, | It will be belleved by every honorable man in all the country that honor, the glory and the dignity of the republic, the agg A and security of its seamen, are safe inthe hands ofthis Con But on the other hand, war should only the last résort, especially so when the war must be with a republic like us anxious for liberty, desiring to maintain constitutional freedom, seeking progress by means of that freedom, and with the gravity greatly increased by the fact that that Republic is in the midst of great internal trouble, having just overthrown a dictator while seeking for congress- ional liberty under constitutional guaragtee. All great men, all generous men, ail who love liberty will desire to bear and forbear with such people, passing through such a state in the midst of such desperate conditions, as long as our honor will allow us to bear and forbear with her Applause]. Therefore, it is our duty to know all the facts, Every fact that can bearany relation to this matteris part of our necessary in- formation, the conclusion that we must reach upon a matter so important as this. And I confess it never occurred to me that my dis- tinguished friend, the chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs, or any member of the House would hesitate to submit this re- uest to the President of , Bs pet rence, b stpone delay o * we . the attitude that we ought to bear to this question. t us say to the Prösident at once give us the information; send to us that which has been communicated to you.

SENATE AND HOUSE MEMBERS CONSIDERING THE MESSAGE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—The Senate Committee on Foreigfi Relations hada short sessian this morning but the meeting was of an informal character and was devoted toa brief exchange of opinion amongst the Sena- tors regarding the President's message and accompanying correspondence on the Chilian affair. Amember of the committee stated no action was taken on the correspondence, and nothing of importance took place at the meeting whatever relative to the Chilian situation. It is understood that the meeting was entirely harmonious, and, that if any report on the message and correspondence 1s to be made it will not be done until the Pres!i- dent has received an answerto his demands made in his ultimatum to Chili. At the request of the members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a special meeting was called . to-day for the urpose of considering the President's message on the Chillian controversy and the accompanying corres- ndence. Printed copies of the currespon- ence the committee spent some time in considera- tion of it. There was an informal discussion of a very general character, but no con- clusion was reached, partly because of the latest phase given the case by the press dis- Ib from Santiago announcing a substant- al compliance by Chill with the request of the President and partly because of the necessity of a careful examination of the correspondence. THE NAVY IS READY. SECRETARY TRACY WAITING FOR CONGRESS TO SAT THE WORD.’’ WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—‘*The navy is ready for Congress to say the word.’’ This remark, dropped from the lipsof Secretary Tracy asa reporter walked with him from the Navy Department to the White House, sums up concisely the status of the Navy De- partment now that the messag> and cor- respondence have gone to Congress. It is now for Congress to say,“ tinued the Secretary, *‘*‘what the N of the Government shall in dealing with Chill. The Administration can do nothing more at present. Congress is in possession @f all the facts, and the Presi- dent by his {message transfers the respons!i- bility to thatDranch of the Government. His message understates rather than overstates the strength ofthe case against Chili, and I believe that Congress will so conclude after a thorough examination of all the cor- respondence now in its possession. What- ever may be the decision of Congress the navy will be found to be faliy prepared to carry out its wishes.’’ con- WOULD BE A LONG FIGHT. Onicaco, III., Jan. 26.— If the United States have a war with Chili it win de a long one, said Lieut. Fleteher Bassett, retired naval officer, last night. ‘‘I believe there will be war, and I have offered my services, and sincerely hope they will be required. It would be a long fight, Dut would result in victory for the United States. Chili, I think, will not back down. She has been procras- tinating. She needs time for this reason— her French made vessels are not completed, and at present Valparaiso harbor is too com- fortable for foreign vessels. When fleet meets fleet the action will be quick, decisive and destructive. They will see each other four or five miles distant, and fire will immediately begin, and as they approach will 135 to ram or torpedo us. Our fleet will, I think, be victorious, and then will come the with- drawal of the natives to their mountains. Then begins the chase, and how long it will last nobody knows, Peru will probably be friendly and her shores will offer good land- ing places for our troops.’’ TROOPS NOW AVAILABLE. NEW YORK, Jan. 2%.—Gen. O. O. Howard said to-day: ‘‘Atthe present time not more than 10,000 troops of our regular army would be available in the event of war with Chili, the others being required at the posts they now occupy to protect the eR from local troubles or foreign attacks, ut the States would be speedily called upon by the Pres- ident to furnish such a number of men as would give us a larger army than our oppo- nents have. Every part of the countfy wonld have to furnish its quota and a large and well-organized army would soon be ready. There would be from a few States well-drilled militia, but they would be unac- customed to campaigning and to field ser- vice. At first we would have to suffer great loss of life while operating to confine the enemy within as close limits as possible. GUNS FOR COAST DEFENSE. ALBANY, N. I., Jan. 2.—There were shipped from the Watervliet gun factory yes- terday to San Francisco three eight-inch breech-loading steel guns, which are sup- posed to be for coast defense. Each weighs 81,900 pounds, is 241-5 feet long and carries a projectile weighing 300 pounds, witha charge of 150 pounds. The 8 is eight miles. There are twelve more of these guns com- pleted which are ready for shipment at short notice. There are also receiving the finish- ing touches ten 12-inch breeches, four small us and ten large guns. The factory is ing run at its utmost capacity. COMMENTS ON THE MESSAGE, WARMLY INDORSED BY GEN, BUTLER—VARIOUS VIEWS. . ‘WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 26.—Gen. Butler, when asked by a reporter for his views on the President’s message, replied in part as follows: I have read the message and like its line, and one thing especially I om . be 908 — — frank ond ullindorsement its gives nister an. ve - the conclusion that the action of Chili to- ward our seamen Was an outrageous, wnpardonable wrong.

We very decidedly disposea of her interference in the affairs of this country long ago. CHILI HAS NO WAR FUNDS. The most distinguished Republican finan- cier inthe United States Senate and a lead- ing member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, to which the President’s message was referred, said: re will be no war with Chili. Some people will think that President Harrison's message is likely to cause hostiliti¢s. On the contrary the mes- sage will prevent them, because it will cripple Chill financially. To my owm knowledge Chili has for weeks been vainly trying to float securities in Ru- rope at a satisfactory figure. he message to-day makes it impossible for her to borrow a dollar in the money markets of Europe. War without money is impossible. Chili will very soon find herself powerless to pret upon a contest with the United States. Eugla and Germany will both close their banking centers to Chili’s request for credit, if she intends using the money ina con- test against a nation which must in the end crush her out of existence, A CHIBMIAN’S OPINION. NEw York, Jan. 26.—George Asta Bugua, who was Chilian Oharge D' Affairs at Wash- ington while the Balmaceda Government was in power andwhose father, Francis Godona Bu was Chilian Minister from 1865 to 1868 from 1879 to 1882, is well known to the most prominent men of his own country, through the active part his family has taken in its national affairs. During a long residence in the United States and an intimate acquaintance with many ofthe statesmen of this country Senor Bugua has become an admiral ot the nation. A reporter called on him last night, Senor Bu nas ust arrived from Wash- ington and was b reading the President’s message, but he consente to say a few words on the present state of affairs existing between the two countries. He said: I have the greatest confidence and trust inthe resent Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Senor eriera, who is a man of wealth, conservative judg- ment and excellent tact. He, I believe, ifany one can, will bring affairs to a 3 settlement. It is mr sincere opinion that there is no party in Chili at all eager for war, forif war results now my fellow- countrymen must foresee that the destruction of Chili is sure and certain, beCause of the vast and un- told resources of the United States and their excel- lent national credit, which -would enable them to borrow heavily from abroad for a protracted struggle if need be. Unfortunately, I fear the Chilian Govern- menthas not preperts Geerectetes the importance of the deplorable Baltimore affair and has therefore left the matter entirely to the slow processes of our methods of judicial - procedure. There has been, however, n@ unusual delay in this case. Il can say FR that the investigations have been conducted with the regular and ordinary degreeof precision and secrécy, which, under the peculiar system of Chili have necessitated the delays which to the Government of this country have seemed un- warranted and tedious. There can have been noth- ing but the securing of absolute justice intended by the investigation. AN EX PARTE DOCUMENT. „I have read in a hasty manner,’’ said Ricardo L. Trumbull, CbBili’s agent in the United States, ‘‘President Harrison’s mes- sage, and I say this: I think he wrote it from an ex parte statement of the facts. Had he all the facts in his possession and were they published with his message,I am sure the whole matter would a ar in a different light. It seems incredibie to me that what was a row between sailors and the hangers- on about some of the lowest quarters of the city should be accepted by the government of the United States as a premeditated attack instigated by the government of Chili 8 the sailors of the Baltimore because they represented the United States. Onlya few days before the Baltimore affaira lot of the sallors from the German n-of-war went on shore to the same quarter of the city, got into a row, and one of the German sallors was killed, yet there is no trouble with Ger- many about it. In the faeeof this row with the German sallors and a mob of roughs, and knowing that some of the lower and ignorant classes had some Illi feelingagainst the United States, owing to the Itata affair, it would seem as if the captain of the Baltimore wasa good deal to blame in allowing a hundred or more sailors to go om sh at once. I have no idea there w ween and the dnitea states. THE NEW YORK PRESS. New York, Jan. 28.—The morning papers comment as follows on the message of Presi- dent Harrison on the Chilian correspondence, sent to Congress yesterday: The WORLD says: The country now knows all there is to know re- specting the Chilian situation. That the situation is serious nobody can doubt. That it makes war nec- essary or certain isnot to be assumed. The duty K* now is ~~ = slowand keepcaim. If war comes should be forced upon us. The Herald says: It is fortunate that the President sent with his message the correspondence which has passed be- tween the two governments. This will enable the country to judge of the merits of the controversy, and if we mistake not the popular verdict will be that Mr. Harrison has by his precipitate action and undue haste, brought about a crisis unwarranted and unjust to a friendly sister republic, a crisis which might easily: have been averted by calm, patriotic and statesmanlike diplomacy. We think President Har- rison has made a grave mistake. We trust it may be remedied. The Times says: The statements of the President’s message and the evidence of the correspondence leave no reasonable doubt that the assault upon the Baltimore’s men was, as car Government bas claimed, an attack upon the uniform of the United States navy. To allow such an incident as this, without reparation, would be tantamout to withdrawing the national pro- tection from United States citizens sojourning on foreign soil. We cah hardly arbitrate as to the assault upon our sailors. We may, under Chili’s offer, propose fo arbitrate the terms of settlement and such a proposition we ought to make. The Tribune says: President Harrison’s message is destined to take high rank. The questions at issue between Chili and the United States are few and simple. Chili must accept responsibility forthe wanton attack upon the Baltimore s sailors and make amends for it. Minister Matta’sinsulting note.must be repudiated. These things cannot be submitted te arbitration The Morning Advertiser: * The tone of the message is aggressive, if not war- like, and unless the matter assumes different sha through arbitration Chili is left in 12 4 to apolo gize or suffer the penalty. There is@either giory nor profit forthe United States in a war against such an adversary, and there shofld de no war until arbitra- tion has utterly failed. The Press says: The evidence presented in the message and corre- spondence removes every shadow of doubt, if there ever was a sbadow, that dur sailors were maltreated and murdered because they wore the American uni- form. The demands of our Government are set forth in a temperate and deliberate, but unequivocal tone. It is time to say to Chill that the American nation is prepared to appeal tothe final arbitrament for which conduct like that of the Chilian Govern- ment leaves noglternative. The people have waited for the President; now they are waiting for Con- gress. BRITISH OPINION. THE LONDON PRESS ON THE PRESIDENT’S WAR MESSAGE. LONDON, Jan. 26.—The Times says: The weak point in Mr. Harrison's argument is the absence of any evidence that the attack upon the American sailors was anything else than the sudden outbreak of mobfury. Although 4 specimen is given of the manner in which Americans apologize upon occasion, it is not rendered altogether clear in what respects the Chillan formula of ag misses the es- sential virtues on the American formula. The re- quest of Chili tor the recall of Minister E had something to do with hardening the presidential at- titude. In the meantime things look decidedly awk- ward, although comfort may be sought in the knowl- edge that the exigencies of electioneering are many and mysterious. The Standard says: The plain truth is Mr. Harrison has been to in- finite pains to spy out a provocation The Chilian Statesmen could not reasonably be expected to make an apology . 2 made the — and full- est admission ne America h cious inquiry wi 7 lities.

Pakts, Jan, 2.—The foreign editors of the Journal des Debate, Figaro, Republique, Siecle, Gaulois and Eeclair have assured the press cor- respondent that they believe there.will be no war between the United States and hut. These assurances were given previousto the . here of the cable message to the effect that Chili had practically made a full apology to the United States. The Paris newspapers, however, dg not comment on the Chilian troubles. NOTHING SAID IN ITALY. ROME, Jan. 26.—The newspapers of this city have not published any comments to-day upon the trouble between the United States and Chill, | 3 THE ULTIMATUM. FULL TEXT OF FORMAL.DEMANDS SENT TO THE CHILIAN REPUBLIC. WASHINGTON,D. O., Jan. 26.—The following note from Secretary Blaine to Minister Egan is the full text of this Government’s ultima- tum to Chill: DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 1892. Iam directed by the President to +4 fo you that he has given careful attention to all that has been sub- mitted by the Government of Chili touching the affair of the assault upon the crew of the United States steamer Baltimore in the city of Valparaiso on the vows | of the 16th of October last. and to the evidence of the officers and crew of that vessel, and of some others who witnessed the affray, and that his conclusions upon the whole case are as follows: „ That the assault is not relieved of the aspect which the early information of the event gave to it, viz.: That of an attack uponthe uniform of the United States Navy, having its origin and motive ia a feeling of hostility to this overnment and not on any act of the sailors or any of them. . That the public authorities of Valparaiso so Segrentiy failed in their duty to protect our men, and that some of the police and of the Chilian soldiers and sailors were themselves guilty of un- provoked assaults upon our sailors before and after arrest. He thinks the preponderance of the evidence and the inherent probabilities lead tothe conclu- sion that Riggin was killed by she pele or soldiers. 3. That he 4 therefore compelled to bring the case back to the position taken by this Government in the note of Mr. Wharton of Oct. 23 last (a copy of which you will deliver with this), and to ask for a suitable apology and some adequate reparation for the injury done to this Government. You will assure the Government of Chill that the President has no disposition to be exacting or to ask anything which this Government would not under the circumstances freely concede. He regrets that from the beginning the gravity ofthe questions in- volved has not apparently been A by the overnment of Chill, an affair in which two American seamen were killed and sixteen others seriously wounded, wherein only one Chilian was seriously hurt, should not be distinguished from an ordinary brawl between sailors in which the provoca- tion is wholly personal, and the participation limited. No self-respecting government can consent that persons in ite service, whether civil or mili- tary, shall be beaten and killed in a foreign territory in resentment of acts done by or imputed to their Government without exacting a suitable reparation. The Government of the United States freely recognized this principle and acted upon it when the injury was done by its people to one holding a friendly relation to a foreign power, in resentment of acts done by the latter. In such case, the United States has not sought for words of the smallest value or of equivocal meaning in which to convey its apology, but has condemned such acts in vigorous terms ard has not refused to make other, adequate reparation. But it was not my purpose here to discuss the in- cidente of this affair, but only to state the conclusion which this Government has reached. We haae given every opportunity to the Government of Chill to 27 any explanatory of mitigating facts and have ad due regard to the fact that the Government of Chili was for a considerable part of the time that has elapsed since Oct. 16 upon a provisioan! basis.“ 1 am further directed by the President to say that his attention his been called to the note of in- structions sent by Mr. Matta, Secretary of Agee ts, to you, under date of the iith ult. r. atta very prudeatiy and, I f ust sense of the offensive nature 6 s patch, re- rained from communicating{t efficiaily to this Gov- ernment. But in view of the fact.that Mr. Montt was direct- ed to pve it to the press of this country and that it was given the widest possible publicity throughout the world, this Government must take notice. of it. You are therefore direéted to say to the Chilian Gov- ernment tha the expressions therein 11 un- truth and insincerity to the President and the Secre- tary of the Navy in their official communications to the Congress of the United States are in the highest degree offensive to this Government. Recognizing thé usual rules of diplomatic inter- course and of the respect and courtesy which should charecterize international relations (which he can- not assume are wholly unfamiliar to the Chilian Office), the President to regard the dispatch to as indicating a purpose to bring about a sus- — of diplomatic relations; but, in view of the act that Mr. Matta was acting provisionally and that a reorganization of the Chilian Cabinet was about to take piace, and afterwards in further view of the ex- pectation that was held out ofa withdrawal and of a suitable apology, notice of this grave offense has been delayed. lam now, however, directed by the President to say that ifthe offensive parts ofthe dispatch of the Dec. 11 are not at once withdrawn and a suitable apology offered, with the same publicity that was given tothe offensive expressions, he will have no other course open to him except to terminate diplo- matic relatisns with the Government of Chill. Mr. Montt, inanote of Jan. 20, has advised me that he has been directed by his Government to in- form the Government of the United States that you are not persona grata to the Government of Chili, and request your recall. This has been laid before the President and he directs you to say that, in view of the foregoing, he does not deem it neces- sary to make any present response thereto. It will be ul time to consider this suggestion a repli to this note is received, as we shail then know whether any correspondence can be maintained with the Govern- ment of Chili upon terms of mutual respect. You will furnish tothe Minister of Foreign Affairs a full copy of this note. LAINE. HOW WAR IS DECLARED. A BILL MUST BE PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES AND SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26.—It is probable that not more than one man in fifty among American newspaper readers knows just what the mode of procedure is on the part of his government when it desires to declare war and begin hostilities against a foreign nation. In fact, many of the articles printed in dally newspapers commenting on the rospect of war with Chili lead the unin- ormed reader toinfer that a declaration of war was a matter wholly within the power of the President. It requires the consent of both Houses of Congress. The mode of pro- cedure isthis: A bill must originate with the Committee on Forel Relatio ported to the Senate an se body and be sent to and signed dent. This bill win give the President au- thority te issue a proclamation declaring war with Chili, and to use the land and naval forces of the United States to enforce the de- mands ofthis government, which Chili has refused to concede. Then will follow the President's proclamation declaring war against Chill. otice will be sent to United ty Be vy — inform the an Fore has been recalled, and that he has received no instructions as to the appointment of a successor; he will then ask for his n and will end by ‘‘renewingthe assurances o sideration,’’ tie Ge ished con ee ible that a the ister his asks for them, the Chilla ngton — Briten Mil — Washin will e there to act for him,and probably Mr. Egan ‘will be represented by the Spanish Minister 111. ‘with the declaration of war the trouble and disturbance complications incident toa — 1 * 2 a 8 * ; 12 7 * 8 ry ae ee ey 8 R 8 . ae ee Ee 3 . * 5 RS yy a eet ee 5 eS , < * ied “~ 5 oes. a | aes ‘ 9 23 W 4 * newspapers of tnts | oe se —) 2 * 1 42 . 2 ‘ - x Se ost re eee 5 a 2 n 1 between Chili and the United States, and the | on of modern war.

To exercise due diligence in its own ag or waters, and as to all persons within its jurisdiction, to prevent any viola- tion of the foregoing obligations and duties. All provisions, arms, and ammunition for our fleets acting on the Chilian coast have to be brought downto them from this country in transports either armed or convoyed by men-of-war. None of our ves- sels will be able to procure coal or provisions in any neutral port unless it puts it under stress of weather; in that case it be seized and disarmed and heid powerless until the warfs ended.

IT BEARS A RESEMBLANCE TO THE OLD CON- FEDERATE BANNER. The flag of the Chilian Republic bears a little resemblance to the emblem of the Con- federate States of America. It is, as the ac- companying cut shows, the. ‘‘Star and Bars,’’ while that of the Southern States, — Ee 963 ——— —_— — 5 — — —— ff I fffffffff . — ä ( —— 7 | ex | The Chilian Flag. , when in rebellion, was the Stars and Bars.

It is conceded that if war with Chili should be declared, the bulk ofthefighting men on the side of the United States would drawn fromthe Southern States. They will find themselves confronting a flag very much like the one which went down with the lost cause, _ © FULLY IDENTIFIED. 2 Train Robber Meyer Receives a Visit From His Mother-in-Law. , Fort Scott, Kan., Jan. 26.—Mrs. Mary E.

Labors of the Brice-Hill-Gorman Combine to Insure Party Harmonv—Brooklyn’s Delegation Claimed to Be Solid for Hal ~The Democrats of New York Will Se lect Delegates on Feb. 22. New Tonk, Jan. 26.—To postpone all legis- lation on the tarif and silver questions and simply declare the Democratic policy by means ot a joint resolution is said to be the latest programme, which has been formu- lated by Gorman, Hill and Brice. It is in substance Gov. Hill’s plan, as announced in his speech at Albany, to go tothe people with their demand for the repealof the McKinley tariff and the repeal of the silver act of 1890; simply that and nothing more, It is not even proposed to put these propositions in the form of bills, but simply to adopt a series of resolutions in the nature of a party piat- form. These, if the programme is carried out, will be put through the House in one lump without any chance for members to vote separately regarding thetariff or the silver proposition. In this way the astute men of the Democratic National Committee hope to avoidthe danger of opposition from any source. FP inp tarif platform will de broad enough general enough to hold everybody—pro- tectionists, tariff reformers and free traders. The silver issue will be in line with the action of the Democratic minority in the last House, and will be general enough to find no objec. tion to its terms among hard money men and free coinage enthusiasts, These resolutions having been passed, an excuse will be fur- nished, from the Gorman-Brice standpoint, for taking no action on the tariff or on the coinage question. a This plan has been talked over for some days among the leaders and those who are in their confidence and was a subject of general discussion among Democratic members to- day. It can only be adopted by a majority vote in a caucus and such a caucus is likely to be called within a week or two. The contemplation of this plan is ap- parently one ofthe reasons for the delay on the part of Mr. Springer’s committee in bringing in his bill to make wool free of auty and reduce the woolen duties. Whether this programme prevails may depend entirely upon the character of the resolutions which are proposed. * The idea of settling the silver question for the time being by a resolution in opposition to the silver act of 1890 and in favor of an in- ternational monetary conference is accept- able to a large element in the House and = in the House, and their opponents fear that if such a majority were obtained it would overwhelm the party with defeat in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Rhode Island and Wisconsin.

Gordon was either dead or a prisoner in the hands of the Mahdi. Subsequent events seem to have proved be- yond a doubt that Gen. Gordon was killed at the fall of Khartoum on Jan. 26, 1888. The visitor talked over these matters with Arabi Pasha, who said that employing Gen. Gordon as a soldier was a mistake and that a priest only should have been sent to the Mahdi. Gen. Gordon's death, according to Arabi Pasha, to use his own words, ‘‘lies at the door of the foolish British Cabinet.

OCotvmars, O., Jan. %.—The most disas- trousfire that Columbus ever experienced occurred this morning in the large block of . buildings at the northwest corner of Rich and High streets. A small blaze started about 7:40 in the large buliding at the corner and before noon the entire block from Rich trust fo Walnut and from Highto Wall had been gutted by the flames. The blaze in its incipiency did not appear to amount to much, but it soon got a good hold and in an incredibly short time it was seen that the bufldings Were doomed. The large pressed- brick Dullding On the corner of Rich was the first to go. It Was entirely burned out with all ite valuable contents, and the only portion of the building left standing was the front Wall. The next bullding to go was the Metropol- Nan Opera-house building, the fire catching Mi the fourth story and working down rap- faly, in spite of the efforts of the fire depart- ment to stop it. The fire here first started in the portion of the bunding occupied by H. C. Godman’s leather store, and in a short time ‘tie entire building, including the opera- house proper, was in ruins. Thére were a number of thrilling and hair- breadth escapes, and with the large force of women employed about the building it 1s miffaculous that the death roll does not mount up high. The shoe factory of Godmans employs 24 persons, 172 of them deing giris, sixty men and twelve boys. The factory occupied three floors. The spectaciec of giris going down the fire ladders and escapes with aprons over their heads was one of the thrilling episodes that caused the hearts of men tostand still. These vic- tims were driven out of the bullding by the Games and had not time even to get any of their trappings, the fire spread so rapidly. FARROW BSCAPES.

She then turned her aftention to Miss Fred- erica, who was running rapidly toward the boat, feeling she would be protected there, but Miss Mitchell was too fleet-footed and overtook her at the railroad track.

HAD BEEN FRIENDS. The murderess and her victim had been close and fast friends to within a short time of the tragedy, when their intimacy was checked by advice of a married sister of the murdered girl, who wrotea letter to Miss Mitcheli’s mother stating that she wished the friendship severed. From that time Frederica Ward had refused tospeak to or correspond with Miss Mitchell. This seemed to prey heavily onthe latter’s mind, who declared she loved Freddie“ better than any other being om earth and that she could not live without her, This seemed to have worked upon her mind until it prompted the terrible deed.

Pipe. : The Board of Public Improvement held two sessions this morning and accomplished con- siderable work. At the first meeting they were greeted by several large delegations of protesting taxpayers who came to remon- strate against proposed reconstruction with granite of downtown streets. Most of the proposed improvements were on unim- proved streets from Rutget to Biddle street, running from Second street as far west as Tenth street. The remonstrances were ail turned overto the Committee on Street Improvements, Mr. W. H. Conzelman appeared before the board to protest against the new Visitation Convent at Cabanne using his private sewer on Cates avenue unless they pay him sum cient indemnity. He asked $200, which the convent claimed was too much, Mr. John Frost appeared in behalf of the convent, and he and Mr. Conzleman argued the matter out. It was finally referred to a committee, who will determine the amount the convent must pay for the use of the sewer. At its secom™ meeting at 12 o’clock the board opened bids for water and sewer pipes and for grading streets. A large audience of interested bidders gathered around the ta- ble. The of some of the St. Louis were opened by the from outside contractors in the line of Water Department supplies. The bidding on water- pipe was the e board lowest that has ever come before .

LISBON, Jan. 26.—In the Chamber of Depu- ties the Minister of Colonies has discredited the report that a sale of volonial possessions was contemplated. He declared that the Government was firmly resolved to maintain the integrity of the nation’s colonies. Not- withstanding this denial the proposal made in the Cortez to sell portions of the Portugal colonies is seriously entertained by the Lis- bon press. It is also believed that the Gov- ernment is favorable to the proposition. The papers which support the Government deny that the sale of some of Portugal’s colonial possessions is part of the programme of the Ministry. Such a course, they add, would be disapproved of by the country. A London newspaper, commenting on the proposal made in the Portuguese Cortez that Portugal sell some of her colonial posses- sions, says: The matter is almost as im- portant to England as to Portugal. By ac- guiring Mozambique we would obtain the one thing necessary toinsure British success in East Africa. 107 N. Broadway. Bet. Pine and Chestnut. Mail orders filled promptly.

Property May Be Purchased To-Day for the $1,000,000 Hotel. DICKERING FOR GROUND AT NINTH AND WASHINGTON AVENUE. Mr. Charles Green Says a Committee Wants to Purchase the Old College Property From Him-—Sale of Property on Fourth and Wash Streets—A New Office Building. It was stated in these columns a few days gince that the enterprise to provide St. Louis with a $1,000,000 hotel was not dead, but that it was then being pushed, probably with more energy than ever. What was said about this important matter at that time was verified by Mr. Charles Green, who says it is more than likely that an option to purchase his Washington avenue property for the new hotel site will be closed this af- ternoon, While Mr. Green says he does not feel at uberty to give the names of the parties who have been negotiating with him, he nevertheless admits that they are two wealthy brewers, who, in his opinion, repre- sent the Fall Pestivities Committee. rhese two brewers *offered Mr. Green $2,500 for a thirty-day option to buy his Washington avenue ground at $2,500a foot. The price of- fered ts satisfactory, but Mr. Green objected to giving the option asked for for less than Ooo, a To this proposition on his part and willing - ness to soll at the price stated there ap- peared to be no objection on the part of the two negotiators. They, however, asked him if he wsuld agree to take stock in the enterprise. Not knowing the nature ofthe projected use of the property Mr. Green asked: What enterprise do yon roter to? Ican’ttell. It wont do for me to proceed in the dark. Let me know what you are going to do with the property and then I can tell you about subscribing for stock. Thereupon Mr. Green was informed that the site was intended for the new $1,000,000 hotel, and that three other locations for the bullding had already been secured. Upon this statement Mr. Green said he would sub- scribe for $0,000 of the hotel stock to start with. and that he might take more than that, as he was beartily in favor of the enterprise and would do his part toward making it a uccess. 1 In Mr. Green’s judgment his Washington avenue property is the most desirable loca- tion in the city for the hotel. It fronts 207 feet on the north side of Washington avenue, one of the widest streets in thecity. It has an equal frontage on the south side of Lucas avenue, anda depth of 225 feet on the west line of Ninth street. Immediately adjoining ths plot on the west, Mr. Edward Martin owns 88 feet of ground extending fromthe Washington avenue front along the eat side of Tenth street to Lucas avenue. TDtintention is to secure this ground front- "Ee em Tenth street from Mr. Martin together nn that owned by Mr. Green. In that eventan entire block with wide airy streets oneaci side would be secured for the new hotel ing very central position of the prin- cipal busness part of the city. If the whole block is purchased the hotel site will have a frontage d 245 feet by a depth of 225, ample Space on which to erect the magnificent Structure designed. SOME GOOD BALES. Eleven hundred dollars a foot for ground on the south hne of Washington avenue, be- ween Lieventh and Twelfth streets, appears to be a standard price. Last November J. G. randt bought 50 feet in that block at the rice stated, and nov another 50 feet has been sold atthe same price, the buyer being ris Wainwright. Mr. Brandt bought from ‘eter A. O'Niel. Mr. Wainwright purchased p/X150 tfeet from John W. Harrison, and F. U. rerhart, representing the buyer, says he is going to improve the site with a seven-story bullding. Chas. F. Vogelreports the sale of 100x142 feet of ground on the south side of Delmar avenue, seventy-five feet east of Taylor, at sa foot, from Adolph Kammererto Chas. Wenneker. Henry Hiemenz, Jr., reports the following sales: Grace avenue—Between Cherokee street and Fairview avenue, 225x140 feet of ground lor $2,250, from Philip Betz to Caspar Wolf. St. Louls avenue—South side, between Newstead and Taylor avenues, 128x160 feet, for $1,586; from Mrs. C. Lammir to Geo. II. brugwerman, the firm name of McNair & Farish has been changed to McNair, Farish & Co., Mr. F. lt. Harris having been admitted to partnership in the concern. CUNNING MUSGRAVE.

It is further rumored that the United States has sent a reply to Chill that her proposition is unsatisfactory. The President and members of the Cabinet de- clined tc discuss the matter at this time. WILL MEET TO-MORROW. Important Business Before the State Democratic Committee. The State Democratic Committee wil! meet tO morrow morning at 10 o’clock in the reading - room of the Laclede Hotel for the purpose of electing a succes- sor to Secretary R Frank Walker, who resigned t6 enter the race for Attorney-General. The committee will also it is expected fix the time and place for the convention to select the four at-large delegates tothe National Convention. Kan- sas City, Jefferson City and Springfield want the convention, and will have Repre- sentatives / at the State Com- mittee meeting to-morrow . morning. There are a number of candidates for the secretaryship of the committee but the race now seems to rest between John A. Knott of Hannibal and Dick Love of Inde pendence, Both men are strongly backed and both seemed sanguine of success thismorning. The secretaryship pays $166 per month during the progress of acam- Raten; but no salary is paid at other times. he money to pay the salary comes from the assessments levied on thecandidates. There is a strong sentiment among the comm!ittee- men in favor of an early convention and the indications are that the time and place will be fixed to-morrow. After the delegates are selected to attend the National Conven- tion the committee will make arrangements forthe State convention. The chances are that this convention will not be held fore next August.

J. W. Richardson, the “Boy Preacher,” Charged With Enticement. HE AND NELLIE MOOTE BEING BROUGHT BACK TO MARSHFIELD, MO. * The Preacher’s Paramour a Mere Child— Caught After a Chase Through Tennes- see—The Farrell Inquest — Mrs, Hed- speth Taken to Clayton — A Jewelry Store Robbed—Police News. Sherif!’ Hubbard of Marshfield, Webster County, Mo., is expected to pass through the city this evening on his way home from Nash- ville with two prisoners, J. W. Richardson, the boy preacher and Nellie Moote,. the i4-year-old girl who ran away from her home in Marshfield with him. Richardson is a Campbellite and strolling preacher, and for several months past has been holding revivals and public prayer meetings in Marshfield. He is a_wpood-looking, polished young nian about 26 years old, and claimed Buffalo, Mo., as his home. He was married and his handsome young wife and child ac- companied him to Marshfield and lived there with him while he was engaged in missionary work. Nellie Moote, the 14-year-old daugh- ter of a leading citizen of Marshfield, became Mfatuated with the young exhorter. She was a large girl for her age and well devel- oped.” Richardson encouraged the girl and last Thursday he and the girl left the little town for Sst. Louis. Their elopement was discovered the follow- ing day and telegrams were sent out by Sheriff Hubbard to all the large cities ot the sur- rounding States. Detectives Smith and Ziegler on reading the telegram remembered having seen a couple answering the descrip- tionand also recollected the fact that they took a train for Nashville. Sheriff Hubbard was telegraphed for and he reached here last Saturday morning. He took the next train for Nashville and telegraphed ahead asking the police to hold the couple. Richardson was warned of the approach of Sherif Hubbard and fied with his girl companfon to Tullaherna, Tenn., where he registered at Hurricane Hall as J. M. Cook and wife, Greeley, Colo.’’ They said they were school teachers making a bridal tour of the South. Sheriff Hubbard followed them to Tullaherna and last Sunday night created a big sensation in the village by ar- resting the pair and putting them in jail. Yesterday he left Tullaherna with his prison- ers and will reach St. Louis to-night on his way to Marshfield. His stay in St. Louis will be but a few minutes, as the San Francisco train will leave shortiy after the Louisville & Nashville train arrives. Mr. Hubbard said last Saturday nignt he feared trouble when he reached Nashville. Richardson’s wife and child returned to their home and parentsin Buffalo, Mo., last Sunday, and the citizensof the village es- corted them tothetrain. They were greatly excited and threatened violence when John- nie, the boy preacher returned. Mr. Hubbard says he is afraid the father of Miss Moate will attempt the life of Richardson as soon ashe reaches Marshfield, and he has prepared himselfaccordingly. Richardson is charged with abducting a girl underage for immoral purposes. The Farrell Inquest. William Farrell’s death was inquired into by Deputy Coroner Meade this morning and at the conclusion of the inquest he held Charles Coates responsible for the death of Farrell and Charles Ross and Frank Green as aiders and abettors. Thetestimony in the case was in substance the same as has already been published. Hattie Ellis and Frank Green were the witnesses ex- They said Farrell left his home near Thirteenth and Orange street last Sunday evening and when passing Thirteenth and Linden streets was pelted with snow balls by acrowd of negro hoodlums, among whom were Charles Coates, Frank Green and Charles Ross. Far- rell walked over to the crowd and told the snow ballers they would get in trouble if they continued. Coates, it is said, cursed Farrell and Farrell struck at him. The crowd sur- rounded Farrell, knocked him down and kicked him. When he jumped to his feet and ran away Coates caught him by the coat and followed him across the street, picking up a drick as he ran. Farrell stumbled when he reached the other side of the street and Coates, it is said, struck him on the head with the brick which he still held in his hand, and then kicked Farrell while he was prostrate. Farrell died ina few minutes. Coatesand Ross escaped, but Frank Green, whowas also conspicuous in the assault, was arrested and locked up. Deputy Coroner Meade held him responsible for thekilling on his own testimony. The police are making a vigorou search for Coates and Ross. . amined, Mrs. Hedspeth Taken to Clayton. Mrs. Marion Hedspeth, wife of the Glendale train robber, was taken to Clayton this morn- ing to answer to a charge of complicity in the robbery. An indictment was returned against her by the St. Louis County Grand- qury, as well as against Siye, Hedspeth and Wilson, and her case was on the docket of the Circuit Court to-day. Mr. Simon 8. Bass, her attorney, saw her yester- day in the jail and told her to plead not guilty, which she did this morning and was returned to the County Jail. She will be re- turned to the St. Louis Jalil this evening. Pleaded Guilty. John J. Demffe, the ex-clerk of Moser’s Hotel who was charged with stealing $5 from a traveling salesman’s satchel, was fined $50 and costs in Judge Claiborne’s Court this morning. Asa W. Onills, who passed sev- eral bogus checks on Mme. Aggie Woods of 1219 Chestnut street, pleaded gullty to petit larceny this morning and was fined $25 and costs which he promptly paid. Lead Pipe Thief Caught. Daniel Matthews was. caught last night in the act of cutting and carrying away a large quantity of lead pipe from Julius Winkel- meyer’s brewery at Seventeenth and Market streets. Mr. Winkelmeyer held him until Olice Officers Hall and Ryan arrived. They ocked ee inthe Four Courts holdover. A warrant will be applied for to-day charg- ing Matthews with burglary and larceny, A Jewelry Store Robbed. An unknown white man, about 85 years old, hurled a stone intoa display window of H. G. Oberschgip’s jewelry store, at Four- teenth and Montgomery streets, at 8 o’clock last night, and seized two gold watch cases valaed at $50 each. Before Mr. Oberschelp, who was attending to some customers, could get out onto the street, the thief made good his escape down a neighboring alle although be was followed by quite a crowd.’ KITCHEN CLOCES, $1.25 TO $5.00.

HE APPLIES FOR AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THE SCHOOL BOARD. The Boara’s Attorney, Mr. Stark, Will Not Defend the Case on Account of His Opinion—Mr. Hugo Muench to Be Retained—A Full Investigation Will Be Had. The members of the School Board were surprised to-day by the news that Director John W. O’Connell had appealed to the courts to restrain the board from investigat- ing the late election, and especially to pro- hibit the Election Comm ittee from proceed- ing in the matter ofthe contest of Mr. Burk for Mr. O’Connell’s seat. In his petition Director O’Connell alleges that proper service was not hadin the con- test, because he was not personally served. He also denies the jurisdiction ofthe board, basing bis claim upon the opinion of Attorney Stark of the board, * STARK WILL NOT ACT. President Bartholdt was seen in his office this morning while in consultation with At- torney Stark. Hesaid: ‘‘Mr. Stark has just called for the purpose of securing counsel to represent the board. As he has already filed an opinion, practically sustaining the position of John W. O'Connell, save so far as the objection to the service is concerned, he has a delicacy about defend- ing the position ofthe board, as he would be seriously handicapped. He would be yom in the position of trying to induce the court. to decide agatnst his (Stark’s) own opinion. At first I thought best to employ Mr. Fisse, as the funds of the board are low, and Mr. Fisse, being a member, would doubtless act without compensation, but upon due refiec- tion, itappears Dest that we have outside counsel. Mr. Fisse and Mr. Stark will no doubt attend the hearing, and Mr. Fisse will certainly give valuable aid to our counsel. Ishall see Mr. Holthaus, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and consult with him. Iam in favor of securing the assist- ance of Mr. Hugo Muench, who has already studied the subject, and been engaged in the Standing- Kelly contest. Ho do you regard O’Connell’s efforts to prevent his case deing examined on its merits?’* On that score I prefer not to speak, I re- gard it as a judicial question, solely, whether within the jurisdiction of the committee or the courts, and have studiously refrained from expressing any opinion. Mr. Stark said: I don’t wash the public to understand that I wish my hands off the case, simply because I interpet the law con: trary to the usual acceptation. As attorney for the board, I was bound to send an honest opinion and in holding that the School Board came under the provisions of the general law, as ‘a local representative body,’ and conse- quently not the judgeof the qualifications of its members, I only rendered an opinion as my study dictated. I maybe in error, cer- tainly I cannot defend the other side. My own opinion would be used against meand I would prejudice the case. O’CONNELL’S DESPERATION. In other quarters O’Connell’s move is re- garded as an acknowledgement of the weakness of his case. It is known that the majority of the members of the board are determined that justice shall be done and that no influence that O'Connell can bring to bearcan defeata full and fair in- vestigation. For this reason he is trying to defeat the committee. Itis held that, if he succeeds in getting an injunction, he will next hold that there is no legally qualified tribunal for investigating the alleged frauds, and that he must hold his seatin spite of the charges made. O'Connell is said to be badly frightened. a 4 The Electropoise. At room 410 Mermod & Jaccard building will be found the National Electropoise Co.

Gunter's Serio-Farcical Drama-—Lacy’s „Jack Royal’’—Other Amusements. One cannot help feeling regret after view- ing the serio-farces ‘‘Mr. Potter of Texas’’ ‘at the Grand Opera-house that Mr. Guntef should have been so lost to the sense of artis- tic bonor as to debasethe good material it contains with such an enormous proportion of trash. Now and then humorous comedy, a genuine feeling and sparks of real dramatic fire are found in his remarkable drama, but they are combined with so much filppancy, bombast and exaggeration that their effect is de- stroved. Space and patience forbid the | pointing out of the absurdities and outbreaks of bad taste which make the production an inartistic jumble of incongruous elements in which entertainment is found more in the ridiculousness of the materials and their combination than in the genuine humor of the situations or dialogue. On the other hand the serious part of the play are made farcical. Only the crudest in- telligence can find enjoyment in the per- formance which does not leave an unpleasant and contemptuous impression. It is perhaps too much to ask of actors that they shall portray the impossible, but some ofthe members of Mr. Sanger’s company succeed in doingit. Thereis a basis of fine and winning character in Sampson Potter, which is suggested by Joseph Wheelock, but is spoiled by the exaggeration of type and absurd characteristics and actions demanded by the author. Mr. Wheelock, who deserves deep sympathy in his task, touches at times a genuine chord in his caricature. 7 he work ot Jeffreys Lewis as Lady Sarah Annerly is in keeping with the production in that itis thoroughly farcical by exaggera tion. She depicts emotion and passion with the art of a panorama painter and makes a lady’s parlor suggest the shady resort. There is a few redeeming features in her work anda pathetic suggestion of lost art and ower, but she over-acts to an unpardonable extent. Lee Lamar, who is one of the gifts ot South- ern society to the stage, is earnest and ama- teurish as Ida Potter, and Joseph Wheelock, Jr., is earnest and awkward as the Hon. Teddy Lincoln. Maurice Drew developes some genuine feeling as Charlie Erroll and Is satisfactory, while Edgar Norton offers a good caricature of the Qudish Anglomanic as Sydney Van Cott. Ethel Lincoln is leas- ingly played by May Haines, and credit for satisfactory work must be given to Frank Alken, M..B. Snyder, Cecil Kingstone and others. The most artistic part of the play is that of Snapper, and it is perfectly played by tne dog. There is entertainment of a fareical kind in the piece and the audiences seem to extract it. at OLYMPIC—‘‘ALL THE COMFORTS OF HOMB. „All the Comforts of Home; which is now running at the Olympic was thoroughly an alyzed when it was presented here last sea- son and its merits and faults are Known to the public. . ; Like many comedies of its kind realization isnot quite upto expectation and there is some sense of disappointment over the fall- ure of the fun to be quite as amusingas an- ticipated. One reason for this lies in the conscious working up to. situations growing out of the complications of the plot. There is itule ground of complaint, however, as the performance is thoroughly enjoyable and there is plenty t@laugh at in the humor - ous entanglements Of the people on the stage. The comedy is handsomely produced d worse material would de entertain with the unctuous humor of Samue Edwards as Theodore Bender, the excellent character work of Kate Denn Wu son as his suspicious and stern wife, the bright piquance of Maud Haslem as the dancer and the clever work of Frank E.

A Captain and a Sergeant to Be Appointed by the Board. When the Board of Police Commissioners holds its regular weekly meeting this after- noon it is expected that a Captain will be made from among the Sergeants of the force to fl the vacancy caused Wy the death of Capt. Fruechte, and from the ranks of patrol- men one will be selected to fill the vacancy in the Sergeant’s ranks. To-day the Police De- partmentisin a high fever of excitement over the Sp Me ng werent to be made, and it is doubtful if any former meeting of the board has been looked forward to with such eager- ness. It is generally conceded now that the race fonthe Captaincy has narrowed down to four or five. candidates. Sergt. Patrick Reedy; Acting Night Chief of the Central District is considered first in the race. He is one of the oldest Sergeants in the service and during his whole career ha en very active. His excellent judgment nd quickness of action in emergencies caused him to be selected to represent the Chief of Police when that official was absent. He is a generel fa- vorite and is- well liked by all the ice. Some maintain that Sergt. William O. Keeble of the mounted on Fifth District, is the next strongest candidate. He was appointed on the police force the same day that Sergt. v donned the blue coat, and both were promoted to the rank of rgeant on the same day. Their services in the department have been of almost equal value. Sergt. Reedy has not worked very hard to arouse his friendsin his interest, but Serat. Keeble has put in al? spare hours strengthening his influence. Next in choice to these candidates are mentioned Sergt. George Mueller of the Four Courts, Sergt. Patrick O'Malley of the Union Depot, Serat. Williams of the Central, Sergt. Wray o Chestnut Street Station, Sergt.

No OTHER evening paper in the United States is equipped to accomplish the feat performed with ease by the Posr-DisrATrR yesterday. Three wires working direct from Washington to the telegraph rooms of the Post-DisPATcH, and an adequate composing room force, enabled us to pre- sent to our readers the President’s message and the Chilian correspondence complete at 4p. m.—four hours after the message was read in Congress. ae ep — —— , * 2 — THAT “WAR MESSAGE.” The special pleading and the, truculent | partisan virulence and narrowness of view so conspicuous in the President’s arraign- ment of the Southern people and their State autonomy for the acts of mobs, when he was urging the enactment of the force bill, are now displayed in his effort to arouse a war feeling against Chili on ac- count of the hostile feeling of Chilians against us as manifested by a mob out- break in the slums of Valparaiso. But again itis a blank cartridge, a mere Fourth of July cannon cracker, exploded asa signal fora partisan rally to help his administration in a campaign exigenty. As, after the defeat of the force bill, his fierce arraignment of the Southern people changed to effusive expressions of fraternal feeling and gushing compliments to South- ern patriotism and progress in his Southern stump speeches, so now his war message terminates in the tame and by no means alarming suggestion that, in a certain re- mote and improbable contingency, we should terminate diplomatic relations with Chili! The accompanying correspondence shows very plainly thatif we had had nodiplo- matic relations with Chili there would have been not a ripple of ill-feeling between her people and ours. Itshows that while we have made the Chilians hate us and put themselves in the wrong in their blind anger, they have not dared to definitely deny any demand we have made upon them, from the surrender of the Itata to the moment when EGAN was permitted to escort in safety to our cruisers the group of Balmaceda butch- ers whom he was protecting from trial on criminal process before the Chilian courts. The apologies, regrets and promises of satisfaction from Chili which are laid be- fore Congress as unsatisfactory to the Pres- dent, will satisfy the people that there is going to be no war. They foreshadowed the further retractions, disavowals, apolo- gies and pacific offers coming from Santi- ago by cable when the President precipi- tated hie message upon Congress. Instead of being a war message it simply shows that Chili is helpless and suppliant at our feet—not daring to court destruction by leaving us any pretext for crushing her. It is not a question of war, but of how much more humiliation and cause for eternally hating us we shall impose upon her people. It shows truly that the course of our Government has filled them with a frenzy of hatred, made a bitter mockery of the Monroe doctrine, increased En- gland’s influence and demolished ours throughout South America. Mr. HARRISON’s only apology for thus promoting England’s South American policy and defeating ours, is that he was trying to treat Chili’s rebels as he thinks foreign governments should have treated ours. But we know very well that he mis- took the people of Chili for rebéls anda desperate revolutionist for their rightful ruler; and we know furthermore that Mr. HARRISON does not think the foreign lega- tions in Washington should have been con- verted into safe asylums for JEFF Davis, Capt. Winz and the assassins of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. — — FIGURES AND FACTS. The Globe- Democrat, speaking of its last Sunday issue, says editorally: Yesterday's Globe- Democrat contained 1,918 ‘*small ads’’—wants, for sales, for rents, ete. Yesterday's Repudiic contained 405 of the same kind of ‘‘small ads.“ To make the information complete the Globe- Democrat might have added that the SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH of the same date contained 1,178 small ads.“ It might have also added the fact that in this line of business—a good measure of popular es- teem—the SUNDAY Post-DrsPpaTonu has out- stripped both the Globe-Demoerat and the Republic in the percentage of increase. It might have printed this absolutely correct record ot small ads’’ in the three papers on last Sunday and on the corre- sponding Sunday last year: , 1891. 1892.

People advertise their wants through the mediums which have large circulations and which are successful in having wants filled, and on trial trans- fer their patronage to the paper which gives best results. This is why the un- bar Post-DisPaTtcH shows far greater gaing than the Globe-Democrat and a con- stant 1 of business. This is why the Republicis ‘no longer in the race for the prize of popularity. These are unpleasant figures and facts for our Sunday morning contemporaries to contemplate, but they are indisputable figures and facts. THE instruction of Czar ZINGENHEIN in the duties of his office goes merrily on. He explained the difference between the number of dram-shop licenses issued by him and the number of Federal licenses on the ground that he could not collect license taxes from the keepers of disreputable houses where liquor is sold, whereas they are compelled to pay Federal taxes. The Post-DisPaTou presents for his enlighten- ment, and to his confusion, an ordinance, prondunced valid by excellent authority, which provides that the Collector shall col- lect license taxes from the keepers of these houses or compel them to close their es- tablishments. Grey. JO WHEELER is the only Southern Congressman whom the President has suc- ceeded in making a conspicuous fool of in this Chilian controversy. Gen. WHEELER is one of those romantically and effulgent- ly chivalrous Southrons who delight in patriotic efflorescence and conspicuous poses. They say when he had a command of ‘rebel cavalry, he used to stride out of his tent with spurs jingling and saber clanking, and order his negro servant in tragic tones heard over the whdle camp: „Saddle my large grey! The War Child rides to-hight.’’ — — ee — Ir is impossible to read the President“ s message and the evidence in the Chilian imbroglio without arriving at the conclu- sion that EGAN has been a miserable fail- ure, and that it is to him that our present disastrous entanglement with Chili is due. By a combination of intriguing rascality, waspish partisanship and blundering stu- pidity he has embroiled us uAnecessarily with the Chilians and sacrificed the re- spect which we should have and the influ- ence which we should exert among them and other South American peoples. — 8 e —— — THE severance of diplomatic relations with Chili long enough to get EGAN out of the country would be the best thing that could happen for the United States and Chili. Peace and friendly relations would follow in short order. Bishop Newman Vindicated. From the Chicago Times.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Your valuable paper is always foremost in pushing things tothe front. I should like to suggest an idea of ideas, since we are about to sell the Union Market. The suggestion 1s this: The new market should be placed on Twelfth street, running from Franklin ave- nue to Biddle Market, tee to the same widthas it is on Olive street. This, in the first place, would give usa street far granderthan angthing in Chicago and something to which we could point with ride. As it is now we have nothing we can ast of over Chicago, solet us have some- thing while we have the opRortea ty forina few years said street will be built up and then it will be too late and would cost the property-owners too much money. Now, Over this market house let the city put our Armory. Two years from now the soldier boys will be without a home. The city could ive them an armory grancer than anything n the world. Just th ofan armory three blocks long and right in the heart of the city! Now all our formations for parade take place on Twelfth street. We could not find a better location. Then, gain, we would have a hall for conventions which would throw all other cities in the shade. They woud not be able to compete with us at all. Now, as I said before, since we are going to sell the old market, and we will get a t , for it, and it will necessitate the building of a new and much larger one, now, * ay not add a little more money to the same and kill three birds with one stone? First, by giving us the 12 Arket- house in the world; second, by ng us the grandest armory and convention hail in the world, which could be used for divers other pur- poses also; and third, by widening Twelfth street, making, or, rather lacing it, In a position when completel built up with mod ern buildings so that nö other city in the world would compare with it.

Ziegenhein’s Blindness Towards the City’s Palaces of Sin. They Violate the Dramshop License Laws With Impunity. LICENSED SALOON-KEEPERS MUST COM- PETE WITH UNLICENSED BAGNIOS. One Hundred and Twenty-Five Disreput- able Houses Selling Liquer in Viola- tion ot the Ordinance-—No Attempt Made to Bring Them to’ Punishment— Ziegenhein’s Panic-Stricken Police Court Work To-Day-The “Post-Dis- patch’? Indorsed. One hundred and twenty-five houses of ill- fame in St. Louis have a stanch friend in City Collector Ziegenhein and in official capacity. Out of his own mouth Collector Ziegenhein stands convicted of losing to the city’s revenue just $68,750 per annum through his strange consideration for these houses, and of allowing shameful violations of the dramshop license lawsto be committed daily and nightly in each and every one of these 125 houses without the slightest attempt on his part to enforcd those laws. In his shameless attempts at evasion of the duties of his office and brazen ‘‘explana- tions’’ of his cause City Collector Ziegenhein has been caught in his own trap. When the Posr-Disraroh accused Collector Ziegenhein of not properly collecting the dramshop licenses due tothe city, charging that acomparison of the figures of his office with those of United States Revenue Col- lector Wennecker would prove the truth of the Post-DisPpaTcn’s accusation, Collector Ziegenhein replied: Such a comparison would be unfair to me. In addition tosaloon licenses proper, the United States Revenue Collector collects a liquor. tax from many sources which I can- notreach. The principal of these are the houses of ill-fame, which sell liquor to their patrons; every one of those houses being re- ulred to take out a government liquor license, whiie at the same time they cannot obtain a license from the eity. There are, according to the police * to United States Revenue Collector en- necker, tothe City Comptroller and to City Collector Ztegenhein, just 125 of these houses of ill-famé that sell liquor at retail to their patrons. Every drop of liquor that is sold in each and every one of those houses is sold in violation ot the city ordinance governing the Dram- shop License Department of the city’s reve- nue, and each offense should, under prose- cution by the City Collector, be punished by a fine of $300 imposed upon the offenders. Every house of ill-fame thus selling liquor at retail without paying a dramshop license tothe city is thus unjustly doinga business for which law-abiding saloons are compelled to pdy an annual license of $550 into the city treasury, and is illegally competing with those licensed saloons. Upon Collector Ziegenhein’s shoulders alone rests the shameful responsibility for the existence of this unlicensed liquor traffic in houses of til-fame, for only from the City Collector can come the prosecution which would compel those houses to comply with the law, pay the fines imposed for their viola- tions of the law, or give up a business for which legitimate saloons are required to pay a heavy license. THE LAW ON THE SUBJECT. The law on this point is so plain that Collec- tor Ziegenbein’s regard of it and shame- less allusion to the liquor traffic carried on in violation of it by 125 houses cf ill-fame in St. Louls, amounts almost to genius in its superb contempt for duty and the enforcement of that law. One section of the Revised Ordli- nances of 1887 covers the point completely, and convicts ry | Collector Ziegenhein of a willful neglect of his official duties that may cause the Collector some trouble before he is through with the charge. Sec. 1427 of Art. 4 of the Revised Ordinances, under the head of Dramshops, reads as follows: “A dram-shop keeper is a person per- mitted by law or ordinance to sell intozxi- cating liquors in any quantity less than a gallon. © person or r of persons or corporation shail 1 this eity, directly or indirectly, in person or by another, 86 f. barter or deliver, r, or on his or their account, an intoxicating liquors in quantities less an one gallon, without a license first obtained therefor, according to the provision of this article, as a keeper of a dram-shop.’’ The above section of the re vised ordinances is not capable of a double interpretation. It designates what persons are permitted by law or ordinance to sell intoxicating liquors in quantities less than one gallon, and it for- bids all other persons from so doing. ZIEGENHEIN'’S RESPONSIBILITY. The City Collector’s chief official responsi- bility is that of securing tothe city revenue the license moneys due it under the law, and of protecting those citizens who thus pay the 1 from unlicensed and legal com- petition. In the case of the 125 houses of Ul- fame re- rted by the police as 2 a dram-shop usiness withouta licenge the duty of the City Collector is so plain that he cannot plead ignorance to cover his official short- comings. The formal course to be pursued in protecting licensed dram shop keepers by punishing the 125 unlicensed dram-shops maintained in houses of ill-fame in st. Louis is exceedingly simple and must be known to City Collector Ziegenhein, The police reports of houses of ill-fame which sell liquor to thelr patrons are made simultaneously to the United tes Revenue Collector in st, Louis, to the City Comptroller and tothe City Collector, The latter, in thb performance Of the duties in- trusted to him by the people who elected him to office, should at once make complaint of these cases in the police courts, and have the offenders brought before t courts on a charge of violating the city ordinances regu- lating the dramshop traffic in St. Louis. The disreputable houses thus violating the dramshop license laws, under those laws are subject to the following nalties: They must either take out a dramshop license, pay $550 yearly to the si A for same, or pay a Ens of $300 for every violation of the dramshop laws charged against them, or abandon the saloon business into the hands of 2 licensed saloon-keepers who pay the city tor the privilege of selling liquor at retail, PURPOSELY BARRED OUT. Under the Uramshop ordinance, houses of ill fame cannot be licensed as dramshops for the reason that sec. 1428 of the Revised Ordinance provides that the a autions taken to vent such Mies“ competition with adram-shop keepers, 2 The fact that Wer licensed by the Uni 1 paying a revenue tax of r yea iquor at retail does not them the right to sell liquor a 0 in a city whose e Pro- that privi- in quan lion to its patrons it fs se fio for saen FAN ee T to sell Louis are compelled to pay altogether $575 per year. ZIEGENHEIN'’S APPEAL. N If City Collecto egenhein sees fit to. deny the charge now bPOught against him by the Posr- Disr ren in this matter, he has only one course left open to him in his denial. Let Collector Ziegenhien make formal de- ane upon Mayor Noonan for a written opin- on from the City Counselor covering the City Collector’s duty in the r of houses of !ll-fame which sell iſquor at retail. INDORSED BY THE PULPIT. The pulpit of St. Louis has taken up the ment to secure a r Collector’s 8. stor of St. John iv upon ‘‘the work by the Post-DIsPaATCH o this city.’’ At the ministers’ posting held attheirrooms yesterday Dr. thews also introduced a resolution indorsing the work of the Post-DisPp~Ton in ex ing e evils now existing in the Dranshe cense Depart- ment of City Collector Ziegenhein’s office, and the resolution was adopted with occasion to again * work of the Post-Dispatcu.* The minister told of one occasion when he City Collector Ziegenhein’s office in com- y with Mr. A. D. Brown, President of the amiton-Brown Shoe Co. of this city, in 8 pore toa saloon-license question, at whic ime Dr. Mathews’ party evidently met the fate of all committees that have to protest against Czar Ziegenhein’s actions. Why, sir,“ said the venerable and indignant divine to-day, Mr. Ziegenhein refused to listen to: us with common civility and was most abusive in manner. You would have thought we were some sort of culprits who had dared visit him, instead of being citizéns asking a city official to hear our si ofa public . on. The Posr-Disrarek is unquestionably dom noble work in exposing the Ziegenhe method in the City Collector’s office,’ PROSECUTING CASES. . Collector Ziegenhein’s saloon cases in the First District Police Court this morning show from the ations as circumstances that the Collector is exceedingly anxious to swell his list of paid up licenses to the fuilest gtk ‘el tions in time to makea good showing be the Council. ro There were twenty-four cases on the docket in the First District Police Court, of saloon- Keepers Charged with selling liquor without a license. Before court opened twelve of these had been nollie prosequied because it was shown that sincé service had been had — them they had gone to the Collector’s ce and paid up. wo cases were reported not found, which meant that so soon as the saloonkeepers learned that proceedings had been instituted they shut up shop and uit business. As long as — had only the ollector to deal with they got on nicely, but any — the legal machinery and gave up e fight, Six cases were continued until Feb. 2, be- cause of the illness of one of the Collector's deputies, who is the main witness aguinst the saloons. The Collector has, however, Feb. 10 to get his list up in good shape for the Council. 0 Two cases were postponed until the 29th of this month, and in one case a fine of $300 was was entered against the defendant. The cases in which the saloon-Keepers re- fused to pay their licenses until forced to do so were: Tony Rotty, 736 South second street. Wm. Reins, 2016 Lucas pase. Charles Daly, 2932 New Manchester road. James H. Gossam, 1431 Pine street. dno. A. McLean, $19 Market street. Thomas J. McGrath, 1230 Spruce street. Charles Eliehinger, 2529 South Seventh streets. Charles Braun, 504 Market street. The cases continued to Jan. 29 are: Alex G. Logue, 413 North Seventh street. William Menger, 1800 Menard strees, Those set for Feb. 2 are: Martin K. Maloney, 421 North Twelfth street. Charles Martin, 738 South Second street. Herman Heneke, 1700 South Ninth street. Joseph Macek, 1701 South Eleventh street, Henty Emig, 1529 South Second street. Christ Buckler, 1529 South Second street. The cases of Stephen Wagner, 2633 Gravois road, and John Maher and Joseph McCaffrey, 601 Spruce street, are reported not found. Martin Bauer, 1205 South Seventh street was fined $300. This is an old case and did not come in with the last batch. Martin Caholin & Co., 1326 Olive street, was fined $50, on which he took an appeal. This saloon is being opposed by the tax-payers in the block. Several cases were referred to the other police court by City Attorney Butler. The Oollector in his haste to t his list all cleaned up, omitted a formality which, though not required, is usually observed. It is the custom to send all saloon cases to the First District and then let them be assigned from there to the courts in which they be- long. In this instance the cases for the Second District Court were sent direct with- out first going to the City Attorney for ref- erence, IN THE SECOND DISTRICT COURT. The Second District Police Court-room was a scene of unusual activity this morning for at least half an hour before Sedge Paxson took the bench. The bustle was all on account of the presence on the docket of six rsons charged with ‘‘conducting dram-shops with- out licenses.’’ The defendants were George Kam, 2623 North Broadway; John Lynch and John Whelan, 8327 Easton avenue; Chag. Randaw, 2000 North Fourteenth street; L. C. Pettalaga, 3547 Easton avenue; Jonn Me- Aaliff, 1301 North Twentieth street, and — a J. Darby, 2816 North Eleventh street. : Deputy Collectors Gunther and McDonough were bustling about, examining executions and conferring with the City Attorney, the Clerk and the defendants. Almost e- charged with offending law were without the ar 0 court usually they are not within a mile of the building, and each one carried in his hand a brand new crisp license fresh from Collector Zeigenhein’s mint. Lucinda J. Darby was the ony ope who did not have a license, and under pies that her attorney was not in court she ad her case continued to Feb. 2. A drum- mer for the Greisidieck brewery named Meier marshalled all the Noense-holding defendants and led the way to Assistant t 3 Thomas E. Mulvihill’s private office. Eac man produced his license, and Mr. Mulvihii said he would nolle prossequi the cases. Wit! a sigh of relief Mr. Meier and his cohort but- toned up their several overcoats and went their way. MRS.

The Members Intended to Go Into the Railway Brotherhood or the Knights of Labor, but the Officiais Forbid— Talks With tho Managers and the Messenger 8. . When the sub-agents of the Adams Express Oo, ask a messenger nowadays if he’s in it they mean a good deal more tha slang, and the messenger understands it. The strike of messengers on the Southern Express Co. a few days ago showed the om - clals of the company that the labor mission- aries had been working among their men, and much correspondence and telegraphing between the main offices resulted. The Southern company beat the strike of the men, andthe messengers who had sympa- thized openly with it were Als - charged, but there was an uneasy feeling left in the offices that the Messengers’ Brotherhood, as the or- ganization was called, had not been crushed. The other express companies upto the time of the strike had not suspected that a pro- tective union existed among their messe)- gers and they began to workon a hint that transpived during the examination of the causes Of the Southwestern strike. They have learned pretty much what an expres? messenger told the Post-DispaTcou to-day. THE MESSENGERS’ SIDE. „Our organisation,“ said he, 1s nota local one. It is national and of course secret. It started in the East and worked West. We have only a few members on the Western routes, but in six months we'll have them all. About three-quarters of all the messengers east of the river are init. We have made application to the Brotherhood of Railway Employes to be admitted, and their Supreme Councl is now considering our request. We had not intended to let it get out till we got in there and were backed up by that organization, but some of the men dur- ing the Southern strike gave the whole snap away, and the companies know all about us, including our officers and mem- bers. The Adams sent out notices to all its men who were members of the order this week, saying it was the desire of the com- pany that they should leave the order. That will make all the men pretend get out, of course, but they’ll stick all the same, and if we can get into the Rallway Brotherhood we'll come out in our true colors. | PROTECTION AGAINST INJUSTICE. Do the Adams messengers and the others intend to strike?’’ Not that Iknow of. But we want to get some things regulated. We want to abol- isn the business of making a messenger act as baggage map also, as they do on some of the runs where they ve ex- press and baggage inthe same car. A man can’tdothat work. It breaks him down. We want to change that shotgun ‘Imposition too. Now, whena messenger first goes to work they make him buy and pay fora shot- gun. It’s not his, although he has to pay tor it. He can’t take it and go hunting if he pleases, It’s ahecked out to him like express matter, and returned the same way. here are other grievances that affect individuals more than the men together, but the prin- cipal point is that we want some means of protection against unjust discharges. The occur frequently, and sometimes we thi it 29 only to keep the rest of us fright ned. THE COMPANIES INVESTIGATING. Supt. John E. Gaines ofthe Southern com- pes was asked if he had heard of the orders ssued by tbe Adams company. No, said he, 1 have not. Our company will not tolerate any connection with the order by our men since that strike. Do none of your men retain their connec- tion with the order?’’ They say they do not,“ and Supt. Gaines smiled through his bushy beard. ‘*I can’t see, though, why our men want to into a thing of that sort,’’ said the Super- tendent. They are paid better than any other messengers in the country, except the West, where there is more danger. The average is $75, and those men who struck were $55 men. SUPT. WELLS TALKS. Horace E.

There are al two benefit organigations for express „ and the companies pay all the expenses of work ing them up. eh men are sick they get pay, and we have a pension system by which a man is retired on full pay. But we don't want our men to go into an order under a labor organization with its strikes and ces >? grievances.

Imagine her consternation on fmding that there was no bread in the house Was ever housewife confronted with a greater di lemma? Most girls would have sat down and cried, Not sothis one. Ina moment she had formed a plan of action. She opened the din- ing - room door and said to her brother ‘Frank, the bread is on the top shelf; will you please reach it for me?’’ Frank had no sooner closed the door than his sister exclaimed:, Great heavens, there isn’tany! Now you run to the grocery, and if you'r not back In three minutes by the watch, III choke you, While he was sprinting down the street, the young lady took Occasion to enter the dining room again. Her object was to save time, She asked her mother where the bread kühe was and then pleasantly related to the guests how much she was enjoying her novel et: perience as a housekeeper. In three minutes by the watch her brother was back with the bread, and in less than half a minute later the bread tray was placed on the table. The honor of the family Was saved. .

LIKE A FAIRY TALE / vtory of the Success of the Guttenbur Track. IT HAS BREW AN ALADDIN'’S LAMP TO ITS 75 OWNERS. “~~ The “Big our” Made Millionaires of in a Yew Short Years—Base Ball in Califor- nia—The Ball Players’ Bellet of the Cause of Charley Sweeney’s Misfor- tun ing News.. A New York dispatch has the following to say concerning the wonderful] career of the Guttenburg track: Six years agoa score of Jerseymen, living in and around Hoboken, and owning good trotters, thought it would be a good scheme to bave a driving park,and they bought geventy-seven acres just outside of Gutten- burg, rolled off some of the boulders and laid out a half-mile track. They had a grand stand little bigger than a shanty boat. Nick Cruisius was treasurer of the company, and they called it the North Hudson Driving As- sociation. Nick Wheeler was manager. He was a member of any number of German so- cieties and was inthe wholesale liquor busi- ness in New York. One of the Jerseymen suggested to him that a regular trotting meeting with good purses might be profitable. They tried itin 1885, and lost $7,000. Whenever Nick loses a cent he begins figuring how to get it back, and, with this end in view, he remembered nis old friend Johnny Carr. Everybody in Hudson County knows shrewd, foxy, lynx- eyed Johnny. He is a good politician and all- round sport, who can do anything from mak- ing a 100-per-cent book to dealing bank for a sucker. Carr began his career as a pool-room keeper in Hoboken, and stayed there until driven out by the authorities. Then he tried a pool- room near Weehawken, and Kept it going until the police made him pull up stakes and leave, He then adopted a scheme which had the simplicity of genius. He bought three barges of the Weehawken Ferry Co,,rented a pier for them near Weehawken, and opened up business. Two of the barges were used for pool- rooms, and the third was fitted up with every kind of gambling game known to civillgation. When the New Jersey officers tried to raid his foating Monte Carlo he would cut loose and float out into the river, and when the New York police boats tried it he would go back and tle up at the New Jersey shore. He was getting tired of this, when Nick Cruisius met him and said to him: Rent our track and try running some horses. There's noth- ing open now and there's a chance for large Doodle. Carr replied: ‘‘Wait until I see Denny, and trotted on. Denny McLaughlin ig Hudson County. Half a dozen men go up to the Trenton Legislature every year and try to disguise themselves under various aliases. But they deceived nobody in Jersey. Every one knows that their right name is Denny MeLaughlin. There is a Sheriff, some Aldermen anda whole raft of other officials who also try to hoodwink the people by pre- tending that their names are Brown, Smith and Jones, but every mother’s son of them is named Denny McLaughlin, This owner of Hudson County, and everything in it,isa stout, red-mustached little man-with gray eyes and pleasant manner. le is a nutural- born boss. This man was a friend of Johnny Carr’s, and that is why Johnny wanted to see him before making the racetrack vent- ture. McLaughlin’s reply was: Why not see Dutch Fred about it?“ Dutch Fred Waldbaum, although hardly able to talk English, was the best short-card player up or down the Hudson, and one of the shrew dest gamblers on the race tracks around New York. He 1s fat, thick-headed ‘and stupid-looking, and his very appearance has been a gold mine to him in his poker games. Since 1870 Walbaum has been prin- cipally interested in race horses, as pool- room keeper and bookmaker. In the fall of 1886 Cruisius, Carr, Walbaum and McLaugh- lin met and discussed the leasing of the North Hudson Driving Park. They leased it Lor 8180 a day and the Driving Club was so glad to get rid of the piace that they adopted resolutions of thankstotheir treas- vrer, Nick Cruisius, and gave him a silver cup. In November ofthat year the Gutten- burg races began. The track was the home ofthe halt, the lame and the ad of the horse world and was frequen by the low. est and most deprav ss of men and women, The first meeting, beginning Nov. 25, ended Jan. land was a fiat failure. At this time Carr was nominally incharge and was sup- posed to be responsible, but itis certain that Walbaum, Cruisius and McLaughlin were secret partners inthe enterprise. March 17, ish, Guttenburg’s gates were again thrown open and a meeting was held which did not end until May 16. is meeting was a vast im- provement over the previous one. The class ofhorses was much better. Those behind the venture made a little money. Ihere was another meetingin the fall and winter of 886-87, and money began to pour in. The at- tendance increased wonderfully. Horsemen sent horses that could at least be senta mile without imminent danger of dropping dead. hookmakers from New York went over in moves, and a period of prosperity began for Guttenburg. In the spring of 1888 the Hudson County Jockey Club was organized, and in the fall of 1888 the narrow little half-mile track was 17 —— 44 a fine mile track, with one of the longest home-stretches in the country, The shabby little grand stand was carted nan) and an enormous new stand was bullt “ith a tremendous betting ring and with es Windows, the whole well heated and iehted, An idea of what was done max be obtained by a knowledge of the amount of money spent. The total expenses of the al- terations was said to be $450,000. The organi- “ation of the Guttenburg Racing Association bears the stamp of McLaughlin’s keen mind. there are 600 stockholders in the association, 'hese 600 include about everybody of note in Hanson County. As a rule their stock cost them nothing. Theclub guarantees them 10 per cent per year on their stock, and this is pald with serupulous regularity. Nick Cruls- ius’ old driving park gets $500a day ground rent, and the remainder of the profits are equally divided between Walbaum, Cruisius, ar and McLaughlin. it is not hard to estimate the profits of Gut- tenburg. Book-makers, who pay $100 a day, andthe attendance, which averages 38,500, urethe principal sources of income. The pool rooms contribute $1,650 a day outside of this, The expenses are about §2,600 a day and the receipts about §8,000.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—One of the greatest auction sales of blooded trotting stock ever held in this country was begun in the American Institute this morning, when Senator Leland Stanford disposed of a large number of his Palo Alto bred trotters, including chfidren of the great Elec tioneer and full brothers and sisters of sunol and Arion. The star sale of the morning was that of the brown colt of 1890, Baby McKee, a full brother of Arion and a son of Electioneer out of Manette, dam of Arion. The first bi was $10,000, but it rapidiy increased to $25,000, at which price it was knocked down to J. 8. Ferguson of New York. TRACK TALK. Mr. J. Malcolm Forbes stated yesterday that he paid $125,000 for the horse Arion. This Is $25,000 less than was reported. Al Hankins, the Chicago gambler, is in San Francisco prepairing to open up a winter race track, which will be supported by East- ern bookmakers and pool-rooms. Hankins Was one of the managers of the lamented Garfield Park course at Chicago. Jockey Gemoets, who rides for Louis Exell, was suspended indefinitely by Starter Clem Oreveling of the local track yesterday for in- subordination. Gemoets has a bad temper, and still worse, not the best of a reputation. He was ruled off the Garfield course at Ohicago. The 80-year-old mare Red Maria died at Wabash, Ind., yesterday. This anima! had — a history. Its mother was captured uring the war by Gen. Stanley, who sold the colt to 4 man named Tharne, who rode here on the Indiana tracks during the 70s, She is said to have won thirty-nine races out of 100 whitch she participated tn. There was a lull in the war between the law and order fraternity and the gamblers, who control the Guttenburg race course yes- terday. The day’s programme was carried out minus the usual arrest, which is im- mediately followed by a release on a bond proceeding. Arumor prevailed that a com- promise was being arranged with Monmouth and the other New Jersey tracks. THE RING. The contest between Cal McCarthy and Tommy Callaghan will take ‘place to-morrow night at the Olympic Club in New Orleans. Both fighters are in first-class condition, at least s0 the latest reports from the Crescent City say, and a good contest can be looked for. McOarthy is jubilant over his prospects, and 18 confident that should he defeat Callaghan ne will de another chance at Dixon. Callaghan's friends have unlimited confidence in his ability to defeat the ‘‘Jerseyman’’ and should he succeed he will, in all probability, be sent up against the colored champion, On the contrary, if McCarthy defeats him, Callaghan willretire from the ring for good it is said. Callaghan will be seconded dy Jimmy Carroll and Jim Robertson. He has uarrelled with his New York manager, Joe arly, who staked himinhis encounter with Billy Kenney, and afterward arranged the present contest for him. According toa New York letter which Early wrote when he went south with Callaghan, they stopped at the training guarters Jimmy Carroll runs at Bay St. Loufs. The Carroll-Fitzstimmons-Griffin combination impressed Oallaghan favorably and when trouble arose between them and Early the little Englishman sided with them and Early left him. Callaghan has placed himself under Carroll’s management, and the latter will in the future look after his business affairs. AMONG THB FIGHTERS. A New Orleans dispatch says that the war between the rival pugilistic clubs of that place continues. he Metropolitan Club managers charge that the Olympic Club is leading Fitzsimmons to sure slaughter in matching him to fight Maher. The Metropolitan Clab of New Orleans has decided to hang up a purse of $500 for a con- test between ‘‘Dutch’’ Nell of St, Louis and Chariey Johnson of St. Paul. The latter ts supposed to be the same Johnson who at one time resided in South Bostonand defeated Ferguson near Chicago, III., recently. given BASE BALL. Tobey Lyons, the pitcher, arrived in this city sunday. Lyons, in company with Cobb, who is to pitch for Baltimore next sea son, did the twirling for the San Francisco Club last year. He is temporarily in the theatrical business, being a member of a song and dance team which is showing in this city the present week. Lyons was in the Eastern League two years ago with the Syracruse¢ Club. He received a good offer last spring from Frisco and crossed the continent, pitch- ing the opening game there last March. the season opens on the coast about that time, said Lyons last evening. Base ball was the craze out there last summer. The opening game in San Francisco was attended by over 16,000 people, and the same ratio pre- valleg on Sundays throughout the season. The managers have the sport completely under their thumb and salaries are limited to $200 per month. The average is between $100 and $150. The San Francisco club is a regular gold mine for its owners. They made thou sands of dollars last season. Coob, who was secured by Baltimore, is a good man and will surprise the League and Association bats- men, if lam not greatly mistaken. He made a great record on the Coast and was ack nowl- edged to be the crack twirier out there. Speaking of Charley Sweeney, Lyons said he was a complete wreck. Sweeney was a member of the lamented St. Louis — te team. He was in his day the greatest pitcher omthe diamond, but drink ruined him. After leaving st. Louis he drifted out to the Coast and was a member of the San Francisco team for a while. He was soon ‘‘fired’’ and went into the saloon business, Dut his bad luck still stuck to him, aud he went tothe wall. After this be joined the — — force, but drink soon caused his arge. Out on the Coast the ball ers, So Lyons says, attribute Sweeney’s bad luck to an act which he committed shortly after his arrival there. He was dre in the San Francisco Club rooms, when Outfelder Dan swéeney took off his scapularand hung it up on the wall. Charley Sweeney noticed it and pullin out bis revolver, shota hole through it, a the same time g some jocose remark- in reference to it.

Scandal Connected With the Reduction of Vehicle Licenses. LOBBYISTS COLLECTING A FUND TO RE.- WARD THEM FOR SERVICES. President Scott of the Liverymen’s Asso- ciation Says Enough Has Been Raised to Defray the Legitimate Expenses Ten Times Over—A Proceeding Which Looks Decidedly Queer. There is considerabie aftermath to the re- duction of the vehicle license, and no little scandal is developing. In order to under- stand the situation, it will be well to rehearse the facts inthe case. Fora good many years the city derived about $90,000 revenue from licenses paid by vehicle owners who em- ployed these outfits for business. Among those who paid licenses were the express and transfer people, the peddlers, hack own- ers, livery stables, carters and truckmen andall persons who owned delivery wagons. The same irregularity in collections was ob- served asin collecting the liquor licenses, Under the license ordinance Four-horse wagons Four-horse hacks.. 12 00 aid...... ........«$20 C00 Two- horse carriage 10 00 12 00 Co 5 00 1 10 00 One- horse ‘a About ten months ago a determined at tempt was made to have the license reduced by half and an organization known asthe Vehicle Owners’ Association was started, having for its object this purpose. The Presi- dent of the organization was A. Wackman, a retired wagonmaker, and the Vice-Presi- dent, Dan C. Donovan, a politician and ship- ping clerk for M. M. Buck. The next most prominent member of the organization was John O’Brien. After eight months of agita- tion and no end of wire- pulling the ordinance reducing the license by half was passed. Councilman Cole fought the measure, pointing out the loss of revenue to the city, but it went through with but two dessenting votes on Dec. 24. It was intended to present the reduction to the vehicle owners as a Christmas present. The reduced license makes the followjng rates: Four-horse wagon Three-horse wWwagon....« Two-horse wagon ...... — ¢eoccece One-horse wagon ...... eee es eee Four-horse hacks „„ Two- horse carriage Coupes Buggies N The Mayor signed the bill on the 24th, but held it until the 29th, sothat it was charged that he tried to smother it by inadvertance, However, it went through. It was at once found that the reduction of license cuts the revenue from this source from {96,000 to $25, 000. TO RE-IMBURSE THE COMMITTEE. It was the boast of the committee, consist- ing of Wackman, Donovan and O’Brien, that the reduction was brought about without the expenditure of any money or any ‘‘grease.’’ Now, however, many vehicle owners are loud in the condemnation of a strike which is in active progress and which is charged to be without any merit whatever. immediately after the passage of the ordinance a committee of ten, itis understood, was appointed to collect subscriptions to defray expenses. Each committeeman was given a list to call upon and as the vehicle owners in the city are said to number 23,000 the lists must have been long ones. Now where did the expenses come in? A week or so after the reduced license became law, a meeting of the associa- tion was held, at which the president stated that Mr. Donovan and Mr. O’Brien had been atconsiderable trouble and some expense and suggested that they be reimbursed, It was stated thata small legal fee and the cost of drawing the ordinance must be defrayed, and some whisky and cigar money refunded. The committee was appointed with this end in view. They et once set to work. How much they collected is matter for conjecture, solely. Not content with the workof the committee, Mr. Wackman caused the follow- ing circular to be printed, and sent a copy to every vehicle owner in the city: ATTENTION, VEHICLE OWNERS. The vehicle licenses for 1892 have been reduced one-half, after a hard struggle by the committee, consisting of Messrs. A. Wackman, D. C. Donovan ape John O’Brien Of the Vehicle Owners’ Associa- tion. The above named gentiemen have spent a great deal of time and money in securing the pessage of this law, and therefore solict your subscription to defray the expenses.

THE OTHERS STILL COLLECTING, The response was generous, Over $500 bein remitted to Mr. Wackman, Then this fun had been collected, the three head men, Wackman, Donovan and O’Brien, agreed to divide the money equally between them and buy watches, The other committeemen kept right ahead and are still doing a land office business. It is said thata quarrel over the division of the spoils resulted and that the $600 is still in Mr. Wackman's hands. Anent all this; Mr. Donovan had this to say yesterday: Some people think that we promi Councilmen money for the of the ordinance. That is not so, emedy — an else fails, tha cures. worst — 4j TE | [Dainty Foods Demand It.

I have found the Royal Baking Powder superior to all others. It It C. Gon ju, late Chef, Delmonico’s, knowledge, and I have never yet got any 0 the money. The 8500 resents all the expense is no use for the committee to make any more collections.’’ ‘*‘What is to be done with the money that they have collected, They can do what they please with it. I don’t care whether they keep it or fire it away.’’ Is it not rather a loose method of doing business to appoint an irresponsible commit- tee and turn it loose on the community to make collections to an indefinite amount aud let them keep right on after more than the sum needed has been secured?’’ „Oh, well, Ihave nothing todo with that, you must see Wackman.’’ Mr. Donovan stated thata movement was now on footto have the entire license for vehicles removed. He says thdt the vehicle owners are kicking themselves because they did not get it wiped out, because no Council- man who hoped for re-election would vote against them. The complaints from vehicle owners are numerous and loud. Mr. Wackman, the President of the organization, could not be seen, although numerous. attempts were made, MR. SCOTT SPEAKS FREFLY. President Scott of the Liverymen’s Associ- ation was seen and asked about the collection of a fund to defray the expenses of passing the vehicle license bill. Mr. Scott spoke quite freely on the subject. He said: A committee came to me and wanted to know if the Livery Association would contri- bute toward paying the expenses of passing the bill. I thought this meant type-writing, stationery, corres- ondence and so on, so Isaid yes. At the ast meeting of the association I brought the matter up and said 1 thought $50 would be enough. The members did net see it, however, and so the matter was lald over. Since then Ihave learned more about these expenses and will say now that the Livery Association will not contribute one cent and ladvise everybody else notto pay anything, As far as I can learn the legitimate expenses were a little over $50 including the drawing up of the bill and several rounds of drinks at Delegate Cronin’s saloon nearly $1,000 has been collected, and those who lobbied on the Dill are now talking about giving each other gold watches and horses and buggies, One of them was offered a gold watch, but set the price of his influence at 5500 s0 there was a splitup. If Ihad known that this would be the case I should never have gone up there and worked for the DillasI did. I thought it was the right thing and said so, but I did not know that anybody intended to make money out ot it. Isaytoall interested don’t pay a cent. The legitimate expenses have been paid ten times over. USE LIEB’S “FLAP-JACK”’ FLOUR. Missourians at the Metropolis.

That's what goes with it, and can’t be taken from it. That's what it was made for. It's the rub, rub, rub, on it that ruins the clothes, It’s the wash-board that wears you out. You don’t need it, Away with wash-day! You don’t need that, either. You don't set apart a day for wash- ing the dishes. Wash the clothes in the same way, with no more work, a few at a time. But you'll have to use Pearline to do it. Pearline only can rid you of wash-board and hard work; with it you can do your washing when, you like. And you can do it safely, too, Directions on every : os — 246 JAMES PYLE, N.Y, FRIST & RUF, Progressive Preseription Druggists, Prescriptions a Specialty. TRADE MARK 700 OLIVE gr.

According to ite latest estimate there shoul — been a decrease in wheat on passage of 1 1,000,000 bu. The amount really lucreased Of the * 400.000 bu of wheat on passace for the United Kingdom the middle of the moath, 10,- 720,000 bu were from California and Oregon, 1.000. 000 were from Chili, 2.464,000 bu from India and 1.796.000 bu from Atlantic ports. The immense quantity on passage from California, of which the average time of passage is four and one-half months, shows what a small quantity of wheat there is for immediate requirements.
