There are many long-standing tlaims ‘of American citizens against the government of Chile. Some have been pending for over fifty years, others originated between 1850 and 1860," but the most important ones arcee out of the Chilean-Peruvian war of 1879-83. | Similar claims against Chile of the citizens of | other governments have for the most part been | satisfactorily settled. Early in the present | year Mr. Egan reported a disposition on the | part of the Chilean government to agree | with this government upon some mode of set- tling all pending claims—removing thereby the | only remaining canses of difference beeWeen | the two governments. Mr. Egan was instructed | to undertake negotiations for that purpose and | the treaty was concluded, which is trans- mitted herewith. It follows so closely the lan- ange of the French ciaims treaty concluded january 15, 1880, which in practice proved sat- isfactory,that there is no occasion for any of ite text. “The claims arising out of the ill-treatment of the sailors of the United States steamship Baltimore at Valparaiso. October 16, 1891. have been separately settled to the satisfaction of this government by the voluntary proffer by the government of Chile of a suitable indemnity to be distributed among the fai ies of. the deceased” and among the inpured | men. ‘The only claims treaty which has here- | tofore been celebroted between the two govern- | ments was that of Nov. 10, 1858, which was not of a general character. but for the xettlement only of the so-called ‘Macedonian claims." “This convention bas already been unani- mously ratified by both houses of the Chilean | congress, and ite ratification can be exchanged at any time when it has received the approval | of the Senate. | “I have the honor to invite your-attention to | the provisions of article XIi, which require | such ratifications to be exchanged on or before February 7 next. | ‘The treaty itself is comprised in a preamble | and twelve articles. The preamble recites its | purpore to adjust amicably the claims made by the citizens of cither country against the government of the other growi: committed by the military thorities,and names the plenipotentiaries—Min- | | ister Egan and Errasuriz, the Chilean minister | of foreign relations. The first article pro- vides for the submission of all claims of corporations or individuals to three commissioners, one to be named by the Pres- | ident of the United States, one by the president of Chile and the third to be selected by mutual agreement. The second article confers author- ity upoa the commi the tnird pro- vides for filling the fourth pre- | cribes the meeting of the commissioners | Washington within six months after notifi- cation, the fifth declares that evidence must be presented through a government ageut or counsel on either side, the sixth makes a con- curring decision of two commissioners final and provides that interest on claims allowed | shall not run beyond the close of the commis sion. The seventh article makes the decisions inding on both governments; the eighth re- | quires claims to be presented within two | months after the meeting of the commission and to be acted upon within six months; the | ninth provides that the awards must be paid within six months after decision. The tenth | section provides a method of procedure and | for expenses. ‘The eleventh. declares that the | proceedings must be regarded as a full settle- ment of all claime, and the last relates to the ee Railroad Lands Sold on Credit The census burcau today issued a bulletin giv- ing statistics of state and railroad lands sold on credit. The bulietin says: “While the public domain is not now sold on credit by | the United States, the land — that has been granted to states by the, national government and acquired by Texas by | treaty, and the land that bas been given to railroad companies by Congress and the states has been told on credit by states and rail- | road companies under agreéments permit- ting purchasers to occupy at once and en-| titling them to deeds upon payment of the final | installment of the purchase price.

A well-known gentleman this morning was a visitor to one of the government departments, it matters not which.

Treasury Sing at ‘Their Work. There were some new notes issued at the Treasury Department this afternoon. They were not greenbacks. They were musical.

His silence is explained by the fact that he left here feeling far from well and that he has been indisposed ever since. It is said that he had not decided the matter yesterday, although his decision is hourly ex- pected here. —— Result of Throwing a Stone. Inthe Criminal Court, Judge McComas, a young colored man, James Green, was tried for an assault and battery with intent to kill Wm. Elliott on July 14 last by throwing a stone at him which «truck another boy. Eliott testified that they were working on 3d street and his (E.’s) brother and Green called each other liars, and Green threatened to hit his brother, when he took th: part of the brother. and Green got a brick, threw at bim, and he dodged it and it knocked down a white bos, whom Green took to a drug store. defendant admitted that he threw the stone with the intention of strik- ing Elliott, but claimed that it was done in self-defense. Messrs. J. McD. Carring- ton and Campbell Carrington, his counsel, claimed that if he was not justifiable he was guilty only of assault and battery, and the jury found the latter. An Old Soldier's Suicide. Private Heflly, lutely an inmate of the Sol- diers’ Home, yesterday afternoon went to the grounds and puta ball through his head.

A number of Senators who were present at a recent concert given in the Metzerott Hall have made serious complaint regarding the inade- quate means of exit from that building. The stairway, they say, 8 narrow and the exit of a crowd is attended with same danger and in case of @ panic would re- sult in lose of life. This matter was today brought to the attention of Senator McMillan, wnose vigorous action last session ‘regarding theater exits resulted in making of beneficial changes. Senator Haw- ley was one of those who spoke to Senator Me- Millan, and Senator Proctor was another who brought the ‘matter to the atten- tion of the chairman of the Sen- ate District committee. The latter said that on the occasion upon which he was present at Metzerott Hall he paseed the same persons on the stairs several times and that they ap- peared unable to get out. The result of these complaints has been that Senator McMillan has determined to appoint a subcommittee which shall investigate. The hall .will be visited, the District Commission- ers will be consulted and the condition of the hall well looked into. The committee will be appointed at the meeting of the District com- mittee to be held tomorrow morning. ACTION OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR. Building Inspector Entwistle. in conversa- tion with a Stan reporter today in reference to the complaint concerning the exita at Metzer- ott’s Music Hall, said that he did not think they were at present ample. There were, however, other exits leading to F street, but, ‘owing to the incomplete state of the building, they had not as yet been opened. He enid he had a short time ago di- rected the police to time the emptying of the house, and for 800 people it had taken’ twelve minutes to completely clear the house. The next day he made a per- sonal examination of the hall and found the great trouble was in the narrowness of the aisles and the closeness of the seats. These he ordered to be remedied, which, he says, has been done, and today he had ordered the pro- Prietor to place metal railings on the steps in ront of the 12th street entrance. ‘THE COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE AN EXAMINATION. District Commissioner Ross stated this after- noon that it was the purpose of the Commis- sioners to make a thorough personal investiga tion of the premiees in company with Senator MeMillan tomorrow or next day, —- DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

Notwithstanding the attack of Mr. Vest on the census bureau it is understood to be the Policy of the democratic leaders not to go any farther in the investigation of the conduct of the bureau, but to drop the subject as not likely to be productive of political advantage and to let Mr. Porter go on with his work without fur- ther interruption.

Many persons who have many ailments of slight individual importance get a group of symptoms which are annoying and sometime distressing. These are apt to cause in those of melancholy temperament an anxiety in regard tohealth anda general concern in one’s self. This continued produces a habit of making one’s feelings a mirror, but this mirror, it may be remarked, is about as accurate in its retlec- tions as the pieces of glass in a dime museum which makes lean man fat or «fat man lean and in general distort every feature. Headaches, pains over the stomach, back- aches; feelings of fatigue, muscular soreness, depressed spirits and a multitude of other things,appearing singly and amounting to little, tend to give one an impression that diseaso actually exists where there is nothing that is tangible. This condition of ailment carries with it what Self- is known as hypochondria—a mental affection | which brings with it an introspection. ‘Those who have a habit of putting in the bal- ance their little complaints against nature scarcely realize the risk they run. one’s self and speculating on the outcome of this little thing and that little thing in the way of something extraordinary often makes an i valid out of one who is really in good physical condition. Hypochondria is a purely born of internal feelings, but al outwardly ed. Depression of spirits, a tendency | to magnify little complaints and a searching after what does not exist marks its course. It is diagnosed with ease and can be cured by proper attention to a few very simple details. In your ordinary course of existence do not drug yourself; take plenty of exercise; avoid the mirror, except for the toilet; let your con- versation not include yourself; occupy your mind with sensible reading matter or home work, and, in a nutehell, forget that you exist so far as your petty ailments are concerned. It is only dwelling on trifes that makes a mental impression which develops with age and which has a well-defined tendency to create and maintain a morbid stato of the mind. The sufferer thinks that she has this complaint and believer her thoughts right in every sense. ‘Those inclined to be hypochondriacal are ad- vised to keep away from dispensaries and med. ical institutions in general and to busy the solves with anything which will take “one's mind away from one's self.

He loved another man’s wif in a careless fashion. Her husband found them together.

His | extraordinary skill in his profession soon cre- | ated a great demand for his services, and a list |of the public and private parks and gar- | dens Inid ,out by him would be much too long for ‘presentation in these columns. He planned the cemeteries of Laurel Hill, Phila- delphia, and Rose Hill, Chicago, and the sol- diers laid to rest in the National cemetery at | Gettysburg sleep beneath the work of his bands. He iaid out the grounds of the Agri- cultural Department and Smithsonian Insti- | tution, and,in conjunction with Messrs. W. R. Smith and “Jobn Saul, gave to Washington its world-admired system of parks and superin- tended the planting of the shade trees which beautify our streets. He prepared the horti cultural exhibits for the centennial expositi at Philadelphia 1876 and also bad charge of the exhibitsat the New Orleans and Cincinnati expositions, He has been a volu- minous writer upon the whole range of subjects | related to his profession, and is universally regarded as an authority of the highest stand- ing. Mr. Saunders was the first master of the National Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, which was organized by his suggestion and under bis direction in this city December 4, 1867. The idea was his own, and it may be that but for his wisdom and energy the vast system under | | which the farmers of our Jand are now as- | sociated would never bave been devised. tae! | More Burglaries Reported.
