What. She Offers in Compensation for the Killing of the Baltimore Sailors. The government of Chile has notified the Secretary of State that the sum of $75,000 in gold is tendered as indemnity for the killing and injuring of certain sailors of the United ‘States cruiser Baltimore by a Chilean mob at Valparaiso October 16, 1891. The United States government has accepted the offer and con- siders it a fair and generous settlement. ‘The Department of State has not yet decided upon what basis the money will be distributed among the men for whom it is intended, and it is not known whether the President will divide it or it will be given attention by Congress. PROBABLE MODE OF DISTRIBUTION. The larger sums, of course, will be given to the families of the two men who were killed and the remainder will be divided among some who suffered more or less from Selene as mob. The pro rata for the latter may be fixed by the nature and extent of the injuries which the men received, which facts can be ascertained from the ship's sur- geon. The extravagant claims made by the seamen through their attorneys will cut no figure at all in the distribution. ‘THE NEGOTIATIONS. Negotiations in the matter of the settlement Were resumed upon the entrance into the Chilean cabinet of the‘present minister of fqrei affairs, Sonor Errazuriz, last month, when he communicated to Mr. Egan the disposition of the Chilean government to come to an adjust ment of the Baltimore indemnity. On July 1 Mr. Egan was informed by Secretary Foster that the President was much gratified at the in- dication received of the sition of the Chilean government, and that he did not doubt indem- wounded survivors, and Mr. Egan was in- structed toascertain the views of the minister foreign affairs on the subject. Under date of the 13th instant Senor Errazu- riz addressed Mr. Egan note placing at the di of the latter the eum of $75,000 in gold, him to cause it to be distributed among T | the families of the two seamen who lost their lives and to the surviving members of the crew wounded in the affair of October 16.

Davy Johnson, alias “Boo” Johnson, a young colored man, was charged with an indecent as- sault on three little white boys some months ago. It is alleged he enticed them into. stable, In opposition to the boys’ testimony evidence was offered as to the good reputation of John- son and he took the stand and denied the state- ments and claimed that Officer Bradley put the boys up to it. It was shown that the officer told one of the boys that he would be locked up or made to pay 85 it he didn't appear. A verdict | of guilty was found. Exceptions were taken to rulings of the court. Judge Miller eaid that it was a most horrible case and all persons guilty of it should be locked up.

The Baltimore indemnity finds no exact Precedent in the diplomatic history of this country. Probably the case nearest in point is that of the Virginius, seized on the high seas by a Spanish gunboat and taken into a Cuban port, ngers were summarily shot on the chargo of being en- gaged in an insurrectionary movement. Somo of the sufferers were citizens of the United States and some British subjects. The Spanish gprernment paid to the United States for each sailor and citizen killed abont $2,500. The British government received for each colored subject alot $1,500 and @2,500 for each white subject. In the recent instance of the Italian prison- ers killed by the mob at New Orleans the United States paid to Italy the lump sum of €25,000. It was claimed that four of the pris- oners killed wero unquestionably Italian #ab- jects, and that five others could not logally have me citizens. which would make the in- demnity bout £2,750 per capita. CASES OF ACCIDENTAL KILLIXO. In cases of accidental killing by negligence nis | there are several instances where the govern- ment in fault has reached an approximate valu- ation of human life in tendering indemnity. In 1834two French subjects were killed and four seriously wounded by a shotted gun fired by a saluting American frigate at Toulon, and the United States paid to France $9,600, about $2,500 for each man killed, besides the wounded. In 1887 four Japancse ‘were killed and seven crippled by the explosion of a shell which had been fired against a Japanese island by the Omaha in target practice, and the United porgpe oa to Japan 214,000 for the families of the sufferera—about $2,000 for each man killed and $1,000 for each wounded. During President Hayes’ administration $1,200 was voluntarily paid to the Turkish gov- ernment for the family of the Ottoman subject Killed a Smyrna by a sailor of a war-veseel of the United States" * As indemnity for injury and im- mment the United States accopted from jpain $750 for each Virginius sailor detained or injured. —_———_-2-+—_____ THE CARROLL INSTITUTE.

Ral- ston, president of the board of town commis- sioners, calling a meeting of said board in the hall of the Athletic Club tomorrow evening for the purpose of discussing with all-the citizens of the town the merits of the exemption of im- provements from taxation and the right of the board to take such a step. Several distin- guished Henry George orators are expected to be present and make addresses. Commis- sioner Aman, who is opposed to single tax, stated this morning that he did not intend to attend the meeting. He also said that under the new system his taxes were $1 less than last year, but that he believed in imy the town and would rather pay more taxes in order to do so. COMMISSIONER BRITT'S ATTITUDE.

When asked what answer the commiasioners pec the committee tomorrow —_ he replied that he did not see that they could give it any, as the single tax opponents had taken the matter before court without waiting for the decision of the commissioners, He r said that he undorstood there was an effort boing made by the anti-single tax men to have Mr. Long and himself turned out of office if they did not resign from the board, but that they were not afraid of losing their places, as they were both mechanics and did not come under the order issued by President Grant, PRESIDENT GRANT'S ORDER. The order referred to made by President Grant says: “The President has deemed it proper thus and hereby to give public notice that from and after, the 4th day of March, A.

The Senate subcommittee to whom was in- trusted the investigation of the practical effect | of the tariff laws has made a partial report, | The subcommittee consists of Senator Aldrich, chairman, and Senators Allison, Hiscock, Jones | of Nevada, Harris and Carlisle. The report is | designed to be entirely non-partison and the | committee aay on this point: | In order to give the statistics collected the weight of undoubted authority, the committee decided at the outset, with entire unanimity, | that the inquiry should be extended only to such subjects and be carried on through euch agencies and by such methodsas were approved | by the unanimous voice of the committee, and this plan was scrupulously followed in ali de- | cisions as to the character, general scope und | details of the im ‘All concurred in the view that if the facts could be secured in such manner as to create general confidence in thelr accursey & great step forward would be taken in the solution of important economic lems. There was no expectation that the | members of the committee would agree about the political or even the economic bearings of the facts ascertained, but all were desirous | that -hereafter there ‘should be no reason to question the integrity of the facts. HOW THE WORK WAS DIVIDED, | The committee decided to divide their work into two parts, the first to include the investi- | gation into prices and wages on the 1st of each month for the period from June 1, 1889, to Sep- | tember 1. 1891, inclusive. The inquiry for this | Period was directed to the ascertainment — First. Of the course of retail prices of 215 articles of general consumption in seventy cities and towns in different parts of the coun- ¥. ‘Second. The course of wholesale prices for the same article at seven principal distributing centers, Third. The farm prices of leading agricultural Products at representative points selected by the Department of Agriculture. Fourth. The relative rates of wages in the cities and towns where price statistics were col- lected in fifteen general occupations, Fifth. The course of wages in special indus- Sixth. In addition to the inquiries as to the course of prices and wages in the United States the committee, through the agents of the De- partment of Labor, undertook to collect similar statistics for retail prices and wages in Great Britain covering the same period. The of the committee now submitted ‘relates exclusively to the first part of the in- ‘vestigation. The second part of their work, in the prose- cution of which a large amount of data has been collected. relates to the course of whole- sale prices and wages during the years from 1840 to 1891, inclusive. The committee regret that they are unable to complete their report upon this portion of the investigation in time for resentation to the Senate at this session of ingress. REDUCTION OF THE PRICE OF LIVIxo. In the investigation as to the cost of living the result shows that the cost of living of a family in ordinary circumstances was forty-four one-bundredths of 1 per cent less at the end of the period included in the investigation (Sep- tember 1, 1891) than it was in the beginning. The retail prices of 215 articles at three representative points—Fall River, Mass. Chicago and Dubuque. Iowa—show @ further decline in the cost of living in May, 1892, as compared with September, 1891, of 2.1 cent, and? as com) with June, July and August, 1889, of 3. cent; that wholesale prices declined at substantially the same rate: that the average prices of ali agricultural products, except flaxseed, when given their proper relative importance, were 18.67 cent higher in ber, 1891, than at initial period; that cost of living increased in Great Britain in the time named 1.9 per — ———== TRIAL OF ALICE MITCHELL.

If Miss Mitchell, who is being tried in Mem- phis for killing Freda Ward, is declared to be imsane she will goto the asylum and remain untilcured. If she be declared cured then she will be put on trial, charged with murder, at which trial ebe will plead insanity at the timeof the killing. The theory under which her lawyers will make their defense is that there was an unnatural affec- tion existing between Alice Mitchell and Freda Ward and that Mins Mitchell's whole life was that of an insane person.
