6 THE CHILEAN CASE. It is Discussed at Some Length in the House. MR. BRECKINRIDGES RESOLUTION. An Insinuation That the President Was Disingenuous. REPELLED BY MR. BLOUNT. It is Finally Keferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, as Suggested by Its Chair-| man and Kepresentative Herbert, Also of | ‘That Committee. SENATE. The chaplain in his opening prayer gave thanks “for the great nation disposed to right- | eousuess and peace;” alo for “the power of | the Gospel, inspiring patience and kindness, | and giving wisdom, discretion and prudence.” | Mr. Hoar called attention to the abuse which (after » temporary discontinuance) appeared to be revived, nemely, the printing in the pro- ceedings of both houses messages and other ablic documents which should appear only in e printed proceedings of one house. It was | expensive, unnecessery and only lumbered up the record. | After the presentation of some department reports the Senate proceeded to executive busi- | Ress. After afew minutes the doors were reopened | and legislative business resume Mr. Morrill, from the finance committee, re- rted back, with a substitute, the joint reso jution to provide ‘or ar international bimetal- Lic agreement. Calendar. HOUSE. There was a marked falling off in the attend- ance in the House this morning, both on the floor and in the galleries. In his prayer the chaplain said: “We render ‘Thee devout and hearty thanks, Almighty God, that Thoa hast raised from the bed of sickness and brought back to his place in the chair Thy | honored servant, the Speaker of the House. Confirm and estsblish bim in perfect health of Dody and spirit and support bim ia the dis charge of his mamiold and onerous duties and responsibilities. ‘On motion of Mr. Heard (Mo.)

Mr. Breckinridge (Ky.) asked for the imme- diate consideration of the following resolution: Resolved, that the President of the United ‘States be respectfully requested to inform the House whether any answer has been received either from our minister to Chile, Patrick Egan, esq, or from the government of Chile to ‘the dispatch semt by the government of the United States to the republic of Chile on January 21, and :f so, from whom such answer Was received and at what time, and that he will communicate to the House all the corre- dence between the government of the ited States, its minister to Chile and the Chilean government not communicated to the Cor so With the meosage herctofore sent in. ‘There was some attempt made to have the Fesolution referred tothe committee on foreign affairs, and Mr. Blount (Ga.), chsirman of the commitiee, made a motion to that effe the Speaker ruled that the motion came too late, he having previo: recognized Mr. Breckinridge to debate the resulution. MR. BRECKINEIDGE’S REMARKS. Mr. Breckinridge said that if the chairman of the committee on foreign atfairs desired the Fesolution referred to the commitice he would make no objection. But he wished to saya few words on the subject. Congzess had re- cently received a message irom the President concerning 4 question of peace or war under circumstances which im the nature of the case must be crave or the President would not have any message at all Now. it appeared possible that the government did send an answer toa dis- patch, repeated in the message the President A sent. Congress knew the fact to be that om January 21 8 Bent to the re- mblic of Chile. not now criticise the Prcshieut for not waiting untilan anever hed been received or until time for such an answer hhad elapsed before sending the message to Congress. He did not now makeany criticism either on the haste with which the mesase was sent or on the language of the message pending the consideration by that repubiie of its action on the dispatch of January 21. It must be re- membered, however, that the language of that case. When the Honse asks the President for information about matters, which he has not communicated, then it ix but courteous to let him decide whether the information of which he is the custodian can be safely commanicated tothe pubhe:but when he bas taken the iuitiative, when he has sent correspondence to Congress, when he has foit that the matter has passed beyond the reach of executive action, and must now be decided by congressional decision, then We are entitled to all the correspondence, to ail the information, and there is then no re- | serve that can be’ properly put under the | technical and formal language, if not incom- patible with the public service. IMPORTANCE OF THE QUESTION. Mr. Speaker, this isa more important qnes- tion than any question which will probably arise before Congress during this session. We are now engaged and have been for yearsin seeing whether we tie the nations of the jean hemisphere closer together. The old desire of Bolivar, in some way or other,by some sort of international agreement, some ¥ort of pact or contract, to bring about a union of the American peoples #0 a8 to pre- serve this hemisphere from European interfer- ence is now being attempted to be made prac- ticable by’ the statesmen of the present genera- tiov, Republican or democrat,each is looking for some way by reciprocity or other agreement, by Pan-American congress, or by other associated mectings of representatives—to get closer to- gether. Surely, at the beginning of this ad- verse ac! king not to peace, but to wi not to couimunion, but to bioodshed, the House will not "hesitate to take what- ever muy be offered to it to obtain the necessary light. If the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Blount) thinks the resolu- sat not to come up for immediate con- sideration, I will not oppose him, though I will most seriously think it 19 a mistake, WHAT INFORMATION DID HE WANT? ner (La.) asked what mformation ‘ion, ¥ 21 a dispatch was submitted by the President, through the American min- ister, to the republic of Chile. On Janvary 25 the President communicated a message to this House that {tis not unfair to presume that he had either received an inti- mation of what the answer would be, giving the Chilean government time to answer, and that if he had had that intimation, we ought to know what he has received. If he has de- spaired of getting an answer and nothing has come, or it anything has come, we ought to know’ what itis. That is my frank answer. MR. BLOUNT'S REPLY. Mr. Speaker, said Mr. Blount (Ga.), chair- man of the committee on foreign affairs, reply- ing to Mr. Breckinridge, whether or not this House hereafter, in its wisdom and in view of the gravity of the situation in the matter of our relations with Chile, sees fit to eon- sider them in secret session, at least; it seems to me that at this time before that course shall have been considered at all, there ought not to be thrust upon this House and the 4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON.

The annual report of the Capitol, North O Street and South Washington Railroad Com- Pany was presented to the Senate today. Re- ceipts from passengers for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1391, amounted to $125,768.57; receipts ‘from " oth sources — brought the total up to $157,567.86. Total expendi- | tures, of which $27,909.19, were for permanent | improvements, aggregate $156,330.22. The balance is therefore $1,197.64. ‘There are 10,000 shares of stock owned by 172 people. During the year 2,808,027 passengers were carried. ‘MR. HERI CLAIMS FAVORABLY REPORTED. Senator Faulkner has reported from the committee on claims the bill for the relief of the estate of the Inte A. H. Herr of George- town, The claim is for $17,253.53 for the use of property near Hi Ferry, occupied uring the war by the Union army. TO REGULATE THE PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY. Senator Gallinger from the District committee, has favorably reported the bill to regulate the country by any mode of procedure a discus- sion of that situation. (Applause on the re- publican wide.) THE war oF 1812. Iremember, and it is familiar to you all, the course pursued in the war of 1912. A message was sent to the Congress of the United States, the Senate and the House went into secret #es- sion, the committes on foreign affairs resolved upon secrecy of procedure and the report of the committee on foreign rs was made to this House, accompanied by declaration of war and other measures subsequently in relation to the regu- lations of privatecring: yet nothing was given tothe public, The injunction of secrecy was never removed until the executive signature had been afiixed to the bill declaring war. Is there anything in that procedure directed by the eminent men of those times to admonish us that either by indirection or by direction we shall deviate from that deliberate, calm course in which the safety of the country rests? Sir, there is a great responsibility upon this House at this time. 1 trust that this ~—resolution —_will be referred to the committee on foreign affairs, and that every matter touching this question will be so referred. Because we have an illus- tration at this very instant how unexpectedly to everybody the gituation has been brought to the consideration of the House and the country. NO DISCUSSION ON THE FLOOR. I presume and I trust that no gentleman upon the floor of the House will undertake to discuss the matter pro and con. So far as any information is concerned in relation to dispatches received today, or yesterday, or tomorrow, for one, and speaking for the committee on foreign affairs, assure the gentleman from Kentucky and this House that they will pot be willing to make any report to this body without exhaust- ing all the information to be had from tke corrs- spondence [applause on the republican side I beg this House to remember that the Iii safety is the line of deliberation. You treat this matter as well tomorrow or next week after deiiberation as you can in the pas- sion provoked by instantaneous discussion. I beg that we shall be earnest, serious, calm, tmanful in all this matter. ‘MR. HERPERT AGAINST THE RESOLUTION. Mr. Herbert was recognized for five minutes im opposition to the adoption of Mr. Breckin- ridge’s resolution. He said: “We are in the midst of a very grave crisis. No one can say with absolute certainty that the situa- message to Congress could have been com- Municated to the authorities of Chile and might. if no auswer had been made to the dispateh of January 21, affect the nature of the answer that that government would fel called upon to SOT T0O GREAT A PRESUMPTION. Therefore it was not too grtat a presumption toindulge in that a President of a great and free people, dealing with a free but feeble People, would not have used such language Pending the consideration by Chile of its answer to that dispatch It was not too great presumption to indulge in that a grave emergency like that would have called from that President due consideration and ample, if he bad not have had some intima- tion of what the avswer would be. It wi scarcely creditable that the language, so— Would not say insulting, but so severe—used by him would not have been used if he bad believed that a friendly and suflicient response Would have been marie to the dispateh ot Jun- Uary 21. It was therefore not impossible that he inay have had some intimation of what that Snswer would be, and yet that it was in such en unoficial « mal tanner received by him as to jastify Lim im not putting Message. {Applause on the democ THE POWEE TO DECLARE WAR. ‘The power granted alone to Congress to de- ¢lare war the President has put upon ua. We must face it and so decide that on the one hand the honor and the ‘y of the American ple shail be avbeld. No man in th: louse, no matter from what party be cate, nor from what section he may hail, Dut will at all bazards protect the humblest senman that wears the American uniform, or Guard st whatever expense the honor and glory of the American people. [Great ap- vise. It will be received by every honora- man in all country that the honor, the Glory, the dignity of the republic, are safe. WAR AS A LAST RESORT. But on the other band, war should be only as the last resort, especially so when the war must be with a republic like us, anxious for liberty, desiring to maintain constitutional tic pide. } freedom, seeking progress. by ane of that freedom and — with grav. ity greatly increased by the “tact that that republic is in the midst of great in- ternal trouble, baving just overthrown a dicta~ tor while seeking couzressional liverty under constitutional guaran All great men, all generous men, all who love liberty, ‘will desire to bear and forbear with’ such People, passing through such state, in the midst of such desperate conditions, as long as our honor will allow us fo bear and forbesr with her.

Every fact that can bear any relation to this matter is part of our necessary information in the conclurion that we must re 4 important as this And I confess it never occurred to me that my distinguished friend, the chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, or azy mem- ber of the House, would hesitate to subinit this Fequest to the Presiient of the United States. By reference, by postponement or by delay of any sort we weaken tho attitude that we ought to bear to this question. to the President at th:ngs, before our tempers are aroused by the Offensive utterances which may have been h} tion is less grave today than it was on yesterday. No oue can say with absolute certainty that the dispatch which appeared this morning as an Associated Press dispatch from Santiago is true. There are circumstances connected with that dispatch, or at least there are features on the face of it, which in my opinion render it very doubtful whether the dispatch is trae. Suppose that the dispatch is untrue and that we pass now the resolution of the gentleman from Kentucky. What will be its meaning? I don’t say that the gentleman himself intends to cast any such imputation, but in my opinion the country will look & resolution like that as imputing to the Chief Executive in a matter of such great concern as his message on vester- day bad faith to the courtry and bad faith to this House. Are we ready now to do that? An attempt to press this resolution to an immediate consideration also carries with it come imputation upon the committee on foreign affairs, to which this whole matter has been properly referred. Is not that com- mittee competent to consider this whole ques- tion? I think we can trust that committee.and I think, too, if there be enything in this rexolu- tion that it will keep for « few days. Ata time when the issues of peace or war are trembling in the balance let us be deliberate. Let us not now engage in a diseussion in which there will be on the part of certzin ggntlemen an attack upon the President and upon the part of others in defense of the chief executive. Is this a me for the House to engaze in a discussion on e? Has the gentlemen from Kentucky body else any reasons to give why a if proper at any time, ought tobe precipitated now. 1 trust the House will not do it. but will let it go to the tee on foreign affairs, which must, practic of dentistry in the District. ‘The bill has been amended so as to provide that graduates of deutal ychools which require a three years’ course of instraction shall receive permits to practice without special exami- nation. CONDITION OF THE PATENT OFFICE. ‘The condition of the patent office may soon be a subject of investigation. Senator Dawes has offered a resolution, which was agreed to,calling upon the Secretary of the Interior to tell the Senate whether any of the rooms occupied by the patent office have been rendered unsafe by the storage of heavy papers and other material over such rooms. Senator Dawes also wants to know what must be done to render such rooms safe and whether any improvement is necessary therein in the matter of heating, ventilation and sanitary condition. THE AQUEDUCT TUNNEL. The aqueduct tunnel question camo up in Congress yesterday. Senator Sherman offering the resolution, which was adopted, call- ing upon the Secretary of War to report to the Senate upon the feasibility of completing the tunnel and the cost thercot. The resolution also makes inquiry as to the practicability of plucing ~ iron Pipes in the tunnel to carry water into the new Teservoir. An estimate of the cost of the latter plan is also called for. Noes. Senator Daniel yesterday introduced the bili to incorporate the Washington, Fairfax and Alexandria Railroad Company. ee DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. MAHON'S CHARGES AGAINST OTHER DETECTIVES. It is understood that Detective Mabon, who was recently tried for conduct unbecoming an officer and recommended for dismissal, has stated certain things to the Commissioners re- fiecting seriously upon some of the other mem- bers of the detective force and that xn inves tigation is now in progress. In view of this the dismissal of Detective Mahon, it is state, has been indefinitely postponed, und that when the time comes to choose his successor be will be allowed to resign. sé TO DISCUSS THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. ‘The Commissioners today received word from the House committee of the District of Colum- bia inviting them to appear before them to- morrow and discuss the District appropriation Dil. In view of this the Commissioners have canceled all engagements for the moruing and have postponed the hearing upon the bill to amend the churter of the Columbia railroad until 2:30 o'clock. THE BRIGHTWOOD-RAILWAY CHARTER. ‘The incorporators of the Brightwood Rail- way Company called upon the Commissioners this afternoon and discussed with thei the res- olution of the Senate dated January 18, 1892, requiring the Comtissioners to report whether the Brizhtwood Railway Company has com- plied with its charter in completing its road and furnishing transportation as public convenience required. ‘The incorporators held that their chartor had not been violated by reason of the fact that they ad leased their road to the Metropolitan Railroad Company, and further that they had until August of this year to introduce the new motive power. After they left the Commissioners sent their report to the Senate witia a full explanation of what kad been done.

Farther Expressions From Senators and Representatives in Congress. 178 FIRM TONE AND PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS VERY GENERALLY COMMENDED—CONGRESS AND THE PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT IN UP HOLDING THE NATIONAL HONOR. The following expressions of Congressmen concerning the President's message were se- cured after Taz Stan went to press yesterday: Senator Frye, who is also a memb@r of th committee to which the message was referred, thought the message admirable in every re- spect. It was clear, unmistakable in its utter- ances, patriotic, exceedingly effective and Pointed, and it was certain to meet with the approval of the American people. A STRONG PRESENTATION OF THE CASE. Senator Stewart—“‘It is a strong presenta- tion of the case, and although every American citizen must deprecate war it seems impossible toavoid it unless Chile will recede from her hostile position and give such satisfaction as the honor of our government and the justice of the case will make it possible for us to ac- copt.” Senator Squire thought the message was con- servative, eburacterized by sufficient spiritand a good presentation of the controverry. He thonght the details contained in the message sufticiently elaborate for Congress and the peo- plo to thoroughly comprehend the situation. Senior Carey—"lIt is like all messages of President Harrison. It is terse and to the point. It signifie the does not want war, ut that itis hisduty to maintcin the honot and dignity of our country, even if it requires war to secure this.’ THE UNITED STATES MUST MAINTAIN ITS DIGNITY. Senator Platt caid: “The President's mos- age presents acase in which unless tho cor- respondence submitted will allow some other construction of the conduct of Chile (and I have no idea that it will) the United States must inaintain its dignity and rights, and must stand for the protection of its sailors. 1 think the sentiment of the whole country ought to sustain the President in adhering to his ulti- matum and give him power to enforce it.” Mr. Andrew of Massuchusetts said the message wasa very able argument and sum- y trom that side of the ease. Whether or not & thorough examination of the correspundence would bear out the statements made he could not say. MORE SERIOUS THAN ANTICIPATED. Mr. Rayner of Maryland, a member of the ation was fur more serious than Lad been -an- ticipated. It certainly required that eomething should be done. ‘the Custed Btates evuld not Jet tue matter rest. Whether it would result in a declaratian of war and reprisal on Chilean commerce und vessels or in a simple with- drawal of diplomatic relations with Chile re- muined to Le seen. ‘The message did not con- tain the correspoudence between the Chilean minister and the State Department. ‘That cor- respondence would have to be examined very de which the cricism of the President. One thing is sure, and that is that we cannot afford to let the controversy remain in the condition it is, A MIGH REGARD FOR AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. Mr. O'Donnell of Michigan, a member of the foreign affairs committee, said: ‘The message is very patriotic, aud shows high regard for American citizenship and American interests. Its positions are well taken and admirably ex- pressed. ‘This message is worthy of the execu- tive and will meet the approval of the Ameri- can people, “I am in favor,” said Represcntative Harmer of Pennsylvania, another membcr of the for- eign affairs committee, “of requiring, under every condition, due respect for the tlag end the rights of American citizens under that flag wherever they may be.” Delegate Caine of Utsh thought that the mes- sage Was a statesmanlike docusaent. Our _sail- ors should be protected in every port, and the dignity and self-respect of our goverument maintained. At the same time he cid not be- lieve that war would be the result of the pres- ent dificalty, FAVOS A DECLARATION OF WAR. Representative Boatner of Louisiana was in favor of a declaration of war immediately. “I think,” be said, “the message isa strong Amer- ican patriotic paper. L agree heartily with the President's express and implied recommenda- tions that Chile should be held to a siriet ac countability for the occurrences, that rhe shal: De made to withdraw the note ‘at witich the President takes offense and to make satisfac. tory amends to this government for the insult to the flag and injury to our sailors, and that this shall be done at the expense of war if no amicable settiement can be reached. In fact, | if you want my honest, candid opinion, I am in favor of war right now. I think the ‘netion of the Chilean government justifies a declara- tion of war at once.” MOLE AS AN ADVOCATE THAX A JUDGE. Representative Wilson (W.V.) on the other band said: “1 think that the President's mes- | sage wasa very adroit but somewhat angry | and passionate siatement of the case of the | United States, made more as an advocate would adge would state it, aud h facts in the case ealling 6 consideration on our part. 1 am airaid there are expressions in his message that will make a peaceful solution of the dith- culty harder to se d much more distract- ing to Chile at least than otherwise would be that the United States in dealing with a weak and receutly distracted country like Chile will not lower 18 dignity or tarnish its honor, but will by exercising’ pa tienes endeavor to reach a peaceful solution of fortunate trouble—looking to wur not as but as the last resort.” spresentative Covert of New York was op- osed to English mediation. He eid: “The Pr ident’a treatment of the®matter is stutes- maniike, diguitied and clear. Iam strongly in favo: of mediation, but not on the part of England. I think there is uo necessity or war. Isce it stated that England will mediote, but arbitration, think, should be at the haadsofone of the independent neutral republics—certainly not by Engiand, which has large interests in ile. Mediation at ita hands might be tinged the large interests England lias in Chilean trade.” Mr. Catehings of Missiesippi said: “I heard only apartof the message. It ed to me the President made a very etrong case. Will the House enstain him? ‘There is no question and never has been any question about the House sustaining him, CHILE MUST BACK DOWN OR BE WHIPPED. Representative Hemphil! of South Carolin “I think Chilo will either have to back down or be whipped. She will either bave to apolo or we will have to assert our rights and main- tain our position among civilized nations by roteeting our rights. if any apology be made think that would be suflicicnt, provided repa- ration be given, ‘The amount of indemnity ht be submitted to erbitration, but judging froma the message there is no doubt some repa- ration shouid be insisted on.” CONGRESS WILL SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT. Representative Herbert of Alabama, chair- man of the naval affairs committee: “The President's message seems to bea fair state- ment of the caso as I understand it; though, of course, the documents and evidence accom- nying it ought to be carefully studied by the jouse and Senate before w conclusion is reached. Ihave no doubt that Congress will, without regard to party, sustain the President in the course he is taking. ‘Ihe intimation by the Chilean government that Mr. Egan is not persona grata comes atu very late day. Whether he was a partisan of Balmaceda I do not know, but expect that the evidence uccompanying the e will give usa better means of decid- ing. But if he was it was the duty of tho Chilean government, as soon present government came into power, to intimate that fo the United States, and if that had boon done at the time President Harrison would undoubtedly have withdrawn him and would bare sent @ representative more acceptable to the mew —_ govern. ment. We were about the first government to reccgaize the congressionalists after they got {nto power and eo far as I Iknow nothing was beard officially at Washington about the desire of Chile for the withdrawal of Mr. Egan until tho complications over the Baltimore affair arose.

Senator Hoar, chairman of the judiciary com- mittee and a member of the foreign relations committee of the Senate, thought the facts in the message were clearly and powerfully stated by President Harrison, and he was of opinion that would be the general judgment of man- kind. It was an instance of a definite, discreet and firm dealing with a great public question. Nothing mere could have been expected under the circumstances unless a tone of menace should have been expected, but he though considering the great advancement of civiliz opinion in respect to the matter of war, which has taken place in recent years, and consider- ing the advanced Position which this country holds, and should bold, in relation to the coun- tries of the world, the maintenance of peace at this time was desirable. “We cannot be suspected,” eaid the Senator, “of being afraid of any country on the face of the earth. if any portion of the population of any country be so ignorant as to attribute the unwillingness of the United States to go to war to any dishonorable motive their opinion should be discharged as having no right to re- spect. I think the government of the United States should itself propose some method of arbitration or other peaceful solution of the present difficulty without much regard to cus- Voms, Usages, to diplomatic etiquette or false notion of its own dignity. The affront which Chile has intlicted upon the United States is doubtless a very grievous one. If tho United States made such a proposition as I have sug- gested public opinion of the entire civilized world would compel her to accept it.” ER as plea ease aa OPINIONS, NEW YOL What is Said About the President's Mes- Suge by Metropolitan Dailies, The New York morning papers commented as follows on the messago of President Harrison on the Chilean correspondence sent to Congress yesterday: The Kecorder says: “Can war be avoided? Yes, by Chile, “President Harrison does not rest our de- mands upon any narrative of the massacre which can be disputed as prejudiced in favor of our men, The patience of » great and peaceful government has been exhausted and by an ultimatum declaring the instant necessity for apology and reparation we have opened to Chile the last chance of displaying the courage d readiness to do right in spite of mad clamor. ‘Ihe covert and indirect application for the recall of Minister Egan is ‘Teervodly treated as a mere subterfuge for delay.” ‘Lhe Morning Adveriiser says: ‘ihe tone of the message Is aggressive if not warlike, and unless the matter ames different shape through arbitration Chile is left in ® position to npologize or suffer the penalty. ‘Ibere is neither pleasure nor profit for the United States in war against such an adversary, and there shouid be no war unti! arbitration has utterly fuiled.” ‘The Press rays: ‘*The evidence presented in the message and correspondence removes every shadow of doubt, if there ever was a shadow, that our sailors were maltreated and murdered because they wore the American uniform. ‘The demands of our government are set forth in a temperate and deliberate but unequivocul tone. It is time to say to Chile that the American na- tion is prepared to appeal to the final arbitra- ment for which conduct like that of the Chilean government leaves no alternatiw. ‘The people have waited for the President, now they are waiting for Congress." ‘The World says: “The country now knows all there is to know respecting the Chilean situ- ation. That the situation is serious nobody can doubt. ‘That it makes war necessary or certain is not to be assumed. The duty just now is to Bo slow and keep calm, If war comes it should forced upon us.” The Herald says: “It is fortunate that the Prosident sent with his message the corre- spondence which has passed between 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 unwar- ranted and unjust to x friendly sister republic, acrisis which might easily have been averted by calm, patriotic and statesmanlike diplomacy. We think President Harrison 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 our government kas claimed, an attack upon the uniform of the United States navy. To allow such an incident to pass without repara~ tion would be tantamount to withdrawing the national protection from United States citizens sojourning on foreign soil. We can hardly arbitrate ns to the fact that the assauit on our sailors was wanton and injurious, We may, under Clile’s offer, propose to arbitrate the terms of settlement and such a proposition we ought to make.” The Zrivune says: “President Harrison's message is destined to rank with the declara- tion of policy wiich made Monroe's name famous. “ihe questions at issue between Chile nd tie United States are iew and simple. hile must accept responsibility for the wanton attzek upon the Baltiuore’s sailors and make amends ior it. Minister Matta’s insulting note must be repudiated. ‘There is nothing that can be submitted to arbitration except the amount of the indenmity.” ——— STON EXPRESSIONS, SOME BO: What is Thought at the Cradle of Liberty in Aumerica. The Boston Advertiser says: “The President, the Seeretary of State and their associates in the administration have acted with moderation, a manifest desire for peace, an evident sense of the solemn responsibility that aro worthy of ali praise. They have exhibited a resolute purpose to take no step toward war so long as peace is possible without dishonor. Grave as is the crisis, the Advertiser yet firmly believes that there will be no war.” ‘The Post says that the meseage is the most creditable of the state papersto which the name of Benjamin Harrison Las been signed. It has full faith in the wisdom and the conservative ac- tion as wellas_in the patriotism of the demo- cratic House. It is not a question now of sus- taining Mr. Harrison, Mr. Ploine or Mr. Egan, Lui of sustaining the govérnment—that ie, t People. Congress will uot shirk the respon ility which the President has placed upon it. The Travelier, speaking editorially of the Chilean situation, says: “It is safe to say there will be no war. However anxious the Presi- dent and one or two of his cabinet are to chas- tise Chile the others favor pacific measures and a resort to diplomacy or, failing in that, to sub- mit the matter to arbitration. Why should we be in such hot haste with ChileY The Transcript considers the “Matta note,” which contained reflections on the faith of the President of the United States, an episode much more diilicult of settlement than the Baltimore affair. This note, while it has added to the complications of the Baltimore affair, is 8 distinct reason for an apology. It would be novel and not very dignified position for the ‘United States to take to submit the good faith of the President to arbitration. The Journal says: “The mossage of Presi- dent Harrison upon the Chi'ean complications is calm, temperate, judicious and firm. ‘Tho American people will sustain the demand which the President has made for apology and re- dress and would approve the use of whatever means may be necessary to enforce these de- mands. ‘The Americans are s peaco-loving people, but they don’t love peace so well as to be willing: to buy it at the cost of the national honor aud the security of American citizens.” ON THE PACIFIC coast, ‘What is Thought of the Outlook by Papers in "Frisco. ns ‘The San Francisco Chronicle today, after re- viewing the President’s message in a highly commendatory manner, concludes as follows: “Chile must make reparation and withdraw her insulting letters, if not the next thing isa decla- ration of war, and then God have the right.” The Hzxaminer in a long editorial headed “There Will Be No War” violently attacked President Harrison’s management of the Chilean controversy. It says nothing has oo- curred since the riot in Valparaiso that will do so much to quiet public feeling as President Harrison's message. The American people would be insane to go to war on such a show- duct of the President of the United States in — them.” Post says: “If Chile her mistake and offers to do the right thing there will be no war, but if she persists in her pres- ent unjust, arrogant and defiant attitude we must declare war and bring ber to her seuses, if it takes 500,000 American soldiers to do it. The Call says: “The correspondence indi- cates that Egan conducted the exasperatin, controversy with commendable patience ai Rood temper. The general verdict will be, we think, that the administration delayed the ultimatum as long as it could without exposing itself to the charge of trifling.” QUAKER CITY VIEWS. What Philadelphia Editors Say of the Mes- Suge and Its Effect. Following are extracts from editorials that appeared in Philadelphia papers this morning: ‘The Ledger: “There will be but little differ- ence of opinion among the people of the United States with regard to the attitude of the admin- istration. Men separated ordinarily by politi- cal opinions will be united today upon this mafter; they will be neither of one party nor another; they will be Americans supporting their country, their government and their President, all of whom are worthy of their eup- port.” ‘The Times: “In the face of the direct issue of war as proclaimed by the President, that issue becomes paramount, and the miserable adven- turer who has disgraced diplomacy as our minister to Chile will be overshadowed by the supreme demands of patriotism; but whether there shall be war or pezce the people will have their reckoning with Minister Egan and the political power that clothed him. with honors e could not appreciate, and with duties he could not perform. Dark as the war cloud is today, we are yet hopeful of peace. The whole civilized world is now averse to war, and it seems incomprehensible that the most liberal aud enlightened nation ot the earth should be plunged into war when there are half « dozen great governments either of which could be ac- cepted as arbitrator without discredit to the United States. If war must come the people willaccept it and patrioticaily sustain the gov- ernment, but if peace with honor is possible that is what they The Inquirer: ler all the circumstances we do not see how the President could have done otherwise than he has done. There has been no attempt to involve Chile in a war. She has been urged and reasoned with, but she his placed a chip uvon her shoulder and there it remains, Whether she will remove it of her own accord, make the apology and reparation and disavow the circular note of ex-Minister Matta be een. ‘No self-respecting government,’ to quote the President, ‘can consent that persons in her service, whether civil or military, shail be beaten or killed in ® foreign’ territory, and the President propores that it shail be, but whether this is to be done by war or bya severance of diplomatic relations is a question for Congress to decide, that is, unless Chile meanwhile shall see the error of her ways and shall offer ample apology.” ‘The North American: “tue ultimatum sub- mitted by the President is the withdrawal of the offensive braggadocio note sent to the Chilean legations by Senor Matta and ample apology, or suspension of diplomatic relations. ‘This 18 dignitied and concuiating. The mes- sage is in most admirable temper from the first line to last. There is not in it one word at which Chile can take offense, and contrary to the predictions of the prophets there 1s no talk of war. If there is to be a war the President does not assume it, and he in fact merely hands the papers, of which his message is a concise resume, to Congress, and waits its considera- tion.” ———+e+ ____— CHICAGO OPINIONS. Views Expressed by the Editors of the Western Metropolis. The Chicago Daily News says: “The time for temporizing has passed. Whatever answer Chile will’ make must be made to the people of the United States. The President's message is clear and comprehensive on all the main points involved. It is a foregone conclusion that both branches of Congress will uphold this de- mand for the protection of the American flag from insult. No other course is consistent with American patriotism. The Times (democratic) says: “The case is left with Congress, without even a suggestion from the President. If there be intelligent patriotism in Congress to justify the popular expression to which the majority of the lower House is due there will be prompt suggestion to the executive of achange from methods of vain-glory to thore of statesmanship. It will instruct the President that matters in dispute are to be referred, as in the case of the Ala- bata, to arbitrament.” The Tribune (republican) says: “There can be no doubt if Chile does not speedily come to its senses it will be brought to them through the stern agency of war.

Reval Baki Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE HOGS POORLY SHELTERED. A Case of Alleged Crucity Tried by Judge Kimball Today. Judge Kimball was given a number of les- sons in hog raising today, when several poor colored men, who raise hogs on their pieces of failing to provide proper shelter for hogs.

The agents paid a visit on horseback to the residences of the colored men one Sunday and the warrants were obtained Inst week. Many of the men have changed their pens a afforded the necessary protection, but that did not end the prosecution. In one case Mr. Key said that the owner of a pen went out and nailed his bed clothes around it to afford temporary protection, and Judge Kimbail suggested that that was cruelty to the man’s family. The evid. ace was to the effect that many of the pens were loose and that the sheds over them were not water-tight. The agents, in giving their evidence, laid stress upon the fact that there was mud in the pens and that there was not sufficient covering for the animals. After hearing the proof in the cases Judge Kimball required four of the defendants to pay a fine of 5 each. Three others were dis- missed, and in two cases the personal bonds of the defendants were taken. pets Mre) THE MARINE COURT OF INQUIRY.

All the morning daily papers of London pub- lished long editorial comments this morning in regard to the President's message, explain- ing the present status of the dispute between Chile and the United States. ‘The News regarded the message as “election bluster,” but says that itis hard to see how Chile can possibly deny that the circular of Foreign Minister Matta was offensive to the United States government. “No false pride,” says the News, “should restrain the Chileans from disavowing this act of an indiscreet min- ister, and so paving the way for a settlement of their own scores against America.” ‘The Chronicle says: “After hearing the lan- guage President Harrison felt justified in using toward Chile one cannot help wondering why Mr. Egan was not recalled, ‘The coming elec- tions probably account for the animated lan- guage of the message. Mr. Harrison's declara- tion’ that America does not covét territory ought not to be taken as * fledee, but rather asan ingenious device to allay suspicions not wholly groundiess. It remains to be seen what the Pan-Americanism of Blaine and his friends will be content with. The Daily Tel says: “Nothing has oc- curred to justify the alarmist rumors of a re- sort to hostilities. Mr. Harrison carefully abstains from any words calculated to em- bitter diplomatic relations. Impartial Ameri- cans must acknowledge that Chile has some justification for its irritation. President Har- ison defends Mr. jan in terms not of un- mixed approbation. It is extremely unlikely that Chile will venture to defy the power of America.
