A Movement to Secure Legislation to Secure Market Facilities in This City. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Saxpy Sprixo, Moxrooweny Couxtr, Mp., January 22, 1892. The morning of the 19th opened inclement, with snow and ice, and many who usually at- tend the farmers’ convention were afraid to venture out; therefore the Lyceum Hall was not as crowded asit usually is when the farmers of Montgomery county meet to discuss ques- tions especially relating to agriculture. The president, Benj. D. Palmer, was in the chair and J. Janney Shoemaker and Henry H. Miller were the secretaries for the meeting. After the reading of the proceedings of the last convention the report of committees wasin order. Mr. W. E. Muncaster gave an interest- ing report upon the township system, but stated ‘his researches bad couvinced him it would not be beneficial tondopt it in our county at this time, even if we were able to obtain the necessary legislation to do vo. He had ited some of the fine sections of Pennsylvania now governed by that system, and found the | roads a skort distance from the towns nearly | impassable and the people there complained | of the waete of money und general incompe- tence as we do here under the county commis- sioners xystem. Prof. Warfield and Roger B. Farquhar spoke in favor of the system and Prof. Charles Stabler gave some facts as to ite working in New Jersey, showing its advantages and disadvantages. As # whole the ecnvention did not seem favorable to its adoption at this time. RAILROAD CROSSINGS. The report of the committee on railroad crossings, by R. B. Farquhar, brought many to their feet, and every man talked as though he was in dead earnest. The general testimony was that the gate at Silver Spring was carefully Susrded, but the one at Rockville was not. In stances ‘were given showing it to be of fre- quent occurrence for trains to pass the latter place without the gates being low. ered, and boys and other irresponsible per- sons Lad been seen lowering the gates with their faces turned away from them. ‘The hit- | ting of Mr. Ricketts’ stone wagon and the shut- ting in between the gates of the Brookville stage were also alluded to. By a unanimous resvlution the president of the convention was | authorized to write to Judge Vinson and re- quest him to call the attention of the next grand jury to the unsafe condition of the ser- Vive at the Kockville gates. This same request was made of the judge last year, but alter a talk with the agent in charge, who promised faithfully to have the service well performed, be thought best to give him another trial be- fore proceeding to heroic measures. As the nuisance isin uowise abated the convention renewed its request of the court. ‘Two pertinent facts were brought out by this discussion, viz: That the gates at Rockville can never prove an efficient guard against loss of life and property until there 1s a flagman whose only duty it is to look after them, as at Silver Spring, and that in the event of ‘an ac- cident there and the consequent suit for dam- ages the whole moral, political and moneyed power of the farmers of the county will be strong against the railroad company. Among the speakers upon this question were Mr. Chas. Abert, Asa M. Stabler, Ur. ‘thos. I. B. Farquhar, Granville Farquhar, Fred’k Stabler, Heary C. Hallowell, Wm. E. Muncaster and others. At this stage of the proceedings the mem- bers of the convention were invited to the school house to eat a bountiful lunch prepared by the young ladies of the neighborhood. ‘This recess was muck enjoyed by all, and when they returned to the hall, bya rising vote, they expressed thanks for the same and ap- pointed Messrs. Brooke and Holland, two prom- ising young gentlemen, to aunouuce the result Indies. THE WASHINGTON MARKETS. The committee on the Washington markets next presented their report by the chairman, J. B. Hallowell. Soon after the last convention they had employed Mr. Guion Miller of Wash- ington as their attorney, and proceeded to bring the test case with the Riggs Market Com- pany to decide the right of a farmer to sell cut meats in the District of Columbia without a that any farmer clearly bad the right to sell cut meats of his owa raising from any stands, stalls, wagons, carts or otherwise, at any proper lace in the District, and without purchasing a ficense. other law of the District pro- vides there shail be no license required of any one bringing marketing by the load into the District, and as the whole traffic between the District aud Maryland and Virginia is clearly interstate commerce, they were prepared to tate that any farmer in Maryland or Virginia can take « load of marketing, including cut meats of his own or neighbors’ raising, into the District, and sell it wholesale or retail, as he pleases, without a license or being legally subject’ to prosecution or an- noyance. Mr. Hallowell then stated that the committee had to make the following recom- mendations, viz.: ‘That we press for passage before Congress # Dill to aliow farmers to weigh hay or straw, &c, and meat on the hoof on any scales egreed upon by the buyer and seller, and in case they disagree as to the scales then the public cnes shall be final That the south half of B street from 7th to 12th streets andthe north half of B street from i0th to 1uth streets be declared a public market place, with suitable iron sheds over the sidewalk to protect the buyer and seller, and that the hay market square, with the addition of suitable eheds to protect hay from storms, and other necessary improvements in connection with the B street part, be known-as the Washington wholesale and retail market. This market shall be under the management of five commis- sioners, one to Le appointed by the governor of Maryland, one by the governor of Virginia and three by the District Commissioners. ‘Ibe: gentlemen shall, under the law, make ail rules and regulations for the conduct of the market, The commuitee had visited the Representa- tive in Congress from the sixth congressional district, Mr. MeKeig, who said that il their attorney would prepare such a bill he would introduce it into the House, and then it would go to the District committee, where they could follow it up. A number of the other Represen- tatives and Senators had been spoken to upon the question of the farmers’ interests in the Washington markets, and many evidently would give such interests their warm support. The committee did not auticipate much trouble to get the law on weighing hay, &c., changed, for they will naturally be assisted by the feed | dealers and commission mérchants, and these | men every time they sell a pound of hay or a| calf or sheep from their stores without weigh- | ing it upon the public scales are liable to from to €10 fine; to obtain their eificient and to repeal the present law it was only necessary to bring the violations thereof to the attention of the cnief of police. The idea of a committee of farmers holding such @ rod over the middiemen struck the con- vention as decidedly amusing. ‘The report of this committee was followed by much earnest discussion, and the convention decided to adopt the report, give the com- mittee full charge of the question aud back | cure it tor MES.

Special Cable to the New York Herald. ‘Vairanaiso, Jan. 24.—The ultimatam of the government of the United States couched in the firmest language that Chile must imme- diately and without reservation withdraw the offensive note of Senor Matta, ex-minister of foreign affairs, apologize for the assault upon the sailors of the cruiser Baltimore and pay indemnity for the injuries inflicted upon the American citizens, has been handed the Chilean government by Minister Egan. ‘This is the reply sent by the United States to the demand of the Chilean government for the recall of Minister Egan. The prompt sending of this ultimatum, instead of an order to Mr. Egan that he return home. has surprised the Chilean government, and it is rumored that President Jorge Montt, who is resting at a bathing rescrt, has been asked to return at once to Santiago and covsult with his cabinet and council of state in regard to the matter. EGAN'S INSTRUCTIONS. Minister Egan is instructed that if the de- mand is not complied with at once to sever diplomatic relations with the Chilean govern- ment. The Chilean public is not aware of the gravity of the situation, nor does it know the American ultimatum bas been received. ‘The cabinet has been acting secretly and is accused in some narters not only of giving out talse news to the public, but also of keeping the real facts from the councillors of state. THE DANGER NOT KNOWS. ‘Vague and uncertain rumors have gained cir- Intion in Valparaiso and Santiago, but the real danger is not generally known. Mr. Kennedy, the British minister, acting under instructions from the home government, went to Santiago this morning to offer bi: friendiy ofices as mediator. Iam confident that the United States gov- ment will receive all it demands, and fully be- lieve that the action of the cabinet in allowing the present complications to arise will be cen- | sured tomorrow ut the meeting of the cham- ber. There is « marked sentiment in army and navy circles against saluting the American flag should that be demanded. I am privately intormed that the British ad- miral, Holtan, is very much opposed to the foolish policy'of the Chilean government. THEY STILL HOPE FOR PEACE. I had interviews tonight with Eduardo Montt and Judge Alphonso, both of whom are members of the council of state. When I in- formed them of the nature of the ultimatum sent by Secretary Blaine they expressed con- siderable surprise at its terms, and, without formally committing themselves, both agrecd that it would be a supingact to now withdraw Matta’s letter. ‘They expreseed the hope that at the meeting of the council of state in conjunction with the cabinet tomorrow a peaceful solution of the difficulty might be arranged. Judge Alphonso said that any war between the two countries would beexceedingly foolish, and he was fully convineed that the United States did not desire to humiliate Chile. EVIDENCES OF DUPLICITY. When I saw Dom Carlos Walker Martinez to- night he expressed deep regret that the Chilean cabinet had brought matters to such a crisis, and evinced strong hope for a peaceful settle- ment of the difficulty. He has no doubt that the sentiment of the Chilean congress will up- hold these views. During the past week, in spite of the show of friendship toward Minister Exan by Senor Pe- Tiera, minister of foreign affairs, and other members of the Chilean cabinet, events have come to light exhibiting surprising duplicity. Minister Egan was asked last week by the Chil- ean foreign office to “recognize” the fact that Secretary Blaine had accepted the renunciation of Matta’s circular letter by the Chilean govern- ment, the go-calied renunciation being for- warded upon the explanation that President Harrison's message was a domestic document, and it was, therefore, improper for a foreign government to officially comment upon it. DEMANDING EGAN'S RECALL. Mr. Egan declined to entertain the proposi- tion until after he had communicated with the Washington government and obtained instruc- tions from his own superiors. He dechned to acknowledge the “renunciation” upon the grounds cited by the Chilean authorities with- out official information from Washington. When the request in regard to the Matta note was made by Minister Egan he was told that a letter in regard to the subject would be sent to Mr., Mrs. Mistes and Master Schede, Mr. McCoy, Mr.Donzelmann, Mrs. and Miss Wilken- ing, Mrs. Conley, Mr. Summers, Mr. and Mrs. Engel, Miss Robinson, Mis Parschall, Misses Pike, Misses Riley, Miss Hobson, Miss Avent, Mise Lachry, Miss Talbott, Miss Camp, Miss Beli, Miss Atchison, Miss Jones, Miss Watney, Prof. von Putkamer, Prof. Klemm, Mr. aud Mrs. Engel, Mrs. Kaspar, Mrs. Watkins, Prof. Apel, Mrs. Iseman, Mr. Stiebel, Mr. and Mrs. DeGrain, Mr. Garrison, Miss Bradley, Mr. and Mrs. Armor, Mr. and Mrs. Georg: Mr. and Mrs. Schmitt, Dr. and Mrs. Ruebeam, Mr. and Mrs. Von der Weth, Mrs. Southerland, Miss ‘Turpin, Dr. and Mrs. Wieble, Dr. Strack, Mr. Burbank, Miss Gallaudet, Mis ir.

Swann Latrobe of Baltimore Sent to an Asylum. The talk of society people and clubmen in Baltimore, according to a special from that city, is the catastrophe which has befallen T. Swann Latrobe, who has been in many respects the most conspicuous leader of society for some years. He is the son-of Gen. Ferdinand C. Latrobe, the present mayor of Baltimore, and his annual income of $8,000, which he inherited from his mother, a daughter of ex-Governor Swann, has always been entirely used up in social and club indulgences. The culmination of all this came on Thursday, when his father was obliged to take him ‘to the Sheppard Asylum for treatment. Mr. Latrobe has always led a rather gay life, his dress was always ultra fashionable and his dog cart the most conspicuous and best_kuown conveyance on the streete.. Though dudish in appearance, he has been a great deal of an athlete, haw been generally the first to come up with the game in the hunts of the Elk Kidge Fox Hunting Cinb and bas won many a gentle- man’s steeplechase. He lost a walking match to Washington against Frank Howard, who recently defeated Charles C. Mackubbin in_ the walk to Philadelphia. Latrobe was Mackub- bin's second in this match. Recently reports of his uctions at the Mary- land Club, of which he was a director, reached his father, who at once took steps to have an examination made as to his mental condition. Experts pronounced him insane, and be was at once placed under treatment. ONE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR, Electric Cars to Kun as Straight as an Arrow Between St. Louls and Chicago. A company has just been incorporated in Springfield, Ill., for the purpose of building an electric road from St. Louis to Chicago ‘The company proposes to build a double- track road as straight asan arrow, without s curve in it, On this road it is proposed to run electric cars which will travel at the rate of 100 miles an hour, making the distance in two and one-half hours instead of eight, as now. The power station will be at Clinton, Ill., where the company will operate its own coal mine for fuel, using electric drills and mining ma- chin In time the entire line is expected to become a boulevard, the furmers’ houses standing ‘on city lots, while behind them will stretch the wheat fields, The houses will be lighted and heated by electricity, and the reapors, mowers and threahers will be driven by chained ight- ming. An electric block system will be oper- ated and the track will be automati Iu minated a mile ahead and a mile behind each car. ‘Trains which are on the same section will have telephone connection, and communication may bo had whother the trains are moving or standing still. ‘Dr. Adams says nearly the entire right of way has been secured, and that within a few weeks the contracts will all be let. ‘The company will endeavor to have the line in operation in time for the world’s fair. Street Cars Attacked by a Mob. The electric street car strike caused lively times again yesterday in lower Allegheny, Pa. Tho cars were not molested during daylight, but toward evening the crowd began to assom- ble, and by dark Beaver avenue in the vicinity of the car sheds was packed with s howling mob of men, women and children. Stones were hurled at the ing cars and all sorte of obstructions ‘on the track. A stone ‘The San Benito Will Transport Coal for Government Vessels. The United States government has chartered the big Southern Pacific steamer San Benito uf San Franeisco and will ‘dispatch her to Chile with a cargoof coal.

A large force of men was put to work transferring coal from the ship to the steamer. ‘The work will be prose- cuted day and night until the San Benito's hold is filled to the hatches. The ship will carry a cargo of over 4,500 tons and is expected to meke the run to Chile in less than month.

It is stated by several Washington corre- spondents that'ex-President Cleveland decided two weeks ago to announce his positive and final withdrawal from the presidential contest. He communicated his determination toa few of his most intimate friends. They urged him almost vehemently not todo so. Finally, against his own inclination, he agreed to post- pone the announcement for a short time. Then he went to Loulsiana. It is claimed thut Mr. Cleveland is disgusted because his advice has either been disregarded or unsought by his political associates, and that he furthermore bad recognized the hopelessness of his candidacy without the support of his own state, which he saw diverted to the support of Senator Hill. He therefore determined to cut loose from the race, but the importunities of his friends decided him to wait some time be- fore he announced his determination. Should he withdraw five names besides that of Hill become conspicuous. They are Patti- fused to op ments, an son, Carlisle, Palmer, Boies and Gray. All these but Gray are Cleveland men. in dealt hen, nome FIRED ON U. 8. TROOPS. An Exchange of Shots With Mexican Revo- lutionists.
