Mr. Rosowater spoke for about an hour, devoting most of the time to an able add on the currency question, contrasting the times of twenty years ago wheu he first camo to Nebraska, with the present. He stood up for the honest dollar and exposed tho fallacies and impracticabil- ity of the financial schemes of the independ- ont party, illustrating his remarks with an- ecdotes from his personal expericnces in a way that_brought the soundness of - his doc- trine mght home to the members of the audience, umong which were quito a number of alliance men. Mr. Rosewnter’s statement that he probably owed more money on a mort- gage than any other man in Ne- braska and that he expected to pay back tho same kind of money that ho borrowed and supposed that every honest man who owed anything oo a mortgage expected to do the same, was o telling hit. The speaker then exposed some of the rank hypocrisies of the last legislature in a way that made the independont’s oyes bulge out, Throughout he took an independent stand- point and concluded with an earnest appeal, s an old citizon of Nebraska who is largely interested in the welfare of tho stato, to tho voters for their own, and the iaterest of the state, not to place upon the supreme benchi a man whose close friends admit is incompetent for the position, but to vote independently, havine some regard for the business interost and financial credit of the state, for the man best fitted for the place—Hon, A, M.

[Copyright 1891 by James Gordon Bennett.| SaNTIAGo, Chili, (via Galveston, Tex.), Oct. 30— [By Mexican Cable to the Herald Special to Tie Ber.]—The Chilian author- ities show no disposition to recede from tho dofiant attitude which they received in answer to the communication from the State department in Washington in regard to the assault on the members of the crew of tho United States ecrulser Baltimore. Pedro Montt, the representative of tho provisional government at Washing- ton, sent a cable dispatch, which was received today, urging the junta to adopt a concilia- tory policy and to move with great caution, but his advice has apparently had no effect. Up to this date there has been no sign of an apology for the assaulton the Baltimo men, and no reply has been made to Minister Egan’s request for an immediate investiga- tion of the cause, I am at a loss to account for the actions of some of the clear headed Chilians forshowing such & nonconciliatory disposition in this matter except for the prosumption that they aro influenced by ignorant advisers or are disposed to give way to popular clamoy While the American and other foreign resi- dents fully realize tho gravity of the situa- tion and are fearful of other and perhaps greater complications, the Chillan public ap- pears to have no conception of it. Boyond tho meagre facts which have been published in tho local papers they are as a rule ignorant of what has occurred. Much surprise is felt here among the Awericans that tho San Francisco has not joined the Baltimore at Valparaiso, Shot by a Policeman. Several foreigners who witnessed the re- cont fight are ready to testify that Boat- swain's Mate Regan, tho only man who was killed outright in the fight, was shot by a po- liceman. Local papers steadily refrain from commenting on the affair, The funeral of Trumbuil, the man who died from the offects of wounds received in the attack, was not attended by any of tie Chi ian officers excopt by an escort of police who were sent to preserve order. CaptainSchley of the Baltimore has ap- plied to the_intendente of Valparaiso to pro- tect the officers and men of his ship who wero obliged to go ashore on necossary busi- ness. The intendente replied that ho was unable to give any advico relative to the Baltimore's men coming asbore, Ho evades the question of protection altogother. Cap- tain Schley does not intend to cease attend- ing to his necessary shore work, even if ho has to arm and protect his own men. Discussed by the Cabinet. WasmNGTON, D, C., Oct. 30.—At the Navy department today there is no sign of dis turbance over Chilian affaivs, At the cabi- net meeting this afternoon the time was de- voted to discussing the Chilian situation, Tt is surmised that Secretary Blaine submitted for consideration the outline of a reply to be made to Minister Egan's communication, that its dotails were perfected and that in due time it will be made public. There have been no further dispatehos from Minister Egan or Commodore Schloy. Sensational Rumors, During the afternoon all kinds of sensa- tional and, in many cases, manifestly absurd stories were telegraptied 1o Washington from other cities 1 this country and Europe for confirmation or contradiction. In the latter category was the startling announcement ¢ bied o Europe by a sensation-mougering s agency that the president’s cabinet had decided to declaro war on Chili; that all of our navy yards haa been ordered to preparo vessels 10 leave immediately, and_that orders had been issued to the vessels therefor. When this story was brought to the atten- tion of the ofiicials of the Department of State thoy were amused rather than indignant the inventive fecundity shown by the news agency, which has boen for some time disbarred from access to the news given out by the depart- ment itself. One of the assistant secretaries, after characterizing the story as_avsurd, re marked that tho author had * overlooked ' the fact that under the terms of section 8 of the constitution the congress of the United States alone had power to declare war, and that the president and _his cabinet had no share of this power. 5o, 100, the story that Minister ISean had been ' recalled was promply de- red to bo an invention without foundation n fact. The Navy dopartment officials evidently have no expectation of an immediate oui- break of war. Commander Ramsoy, fu churgo of tho Navigation burcau, without whoso knowledge not a naval ship'moves, said thnt 50 far as ho know there had not beon a singlo order issued bearing on the Chilian situation during the past weel. The naval officers in charge of the various bureaus in tho different navy yards also stated that there were uo unusual prepura- tions going on in thewr respective aevart- ments, Altogether there was an air of sovenity and everyday humdrum about the State and Nayy depariments which, no less than the oral denials, afforded an emphatic contradic tion of any and all sensational reports of varliko disturbances, Ihirsting for American Gore, From the Evening Star: “It would boa wholesomo_thing for the political health of tho entire South American continent,” said a promiuent nuval ofticer, “if this country should turn in and give Chili a good, sound thrashing, *“I'ney have the most insane notions down there about an international war, and_they really thinl they could defeat 'the United States without trouble, There ure about 000,000 of them fn the whole country, a few more than in the single city of New York, aud thoy have not the slightest conception of the magnitude of this nation and its trom dous resources, They have no idea of what 18 meant when we tell them that we have 60,000,000 inhubitants, and they are sincero in'the belief that they could successfully cope with us in a fight ‘Thoy are fighters from the first word Thoy will fight ovor anything or at the arop of the hat,as the expression goes, They have just been through asevere civil war and their blood is up.

And I should welcome such a thing, not for the sake of activity in the navy, but for the good and wholesome offect it ‘would bave upon the world & at large. ‘The Uniwed Sta has been far too conservative its At~ titude towards the rest of the powers, and even if Chili is small and weak, the spectucle of our whipping her would produce for us an excellent prestige abroad.

Coaling Stations Needed. Still another naval officer smid *‘We have vofore us a demonsiration of the wisdom of Washinglon's maxim—in time of poace pre pare for war.

Inrespouse to an in quiry, he said that e was sure that this gov- erament would be firm aud jast and would do the right thing in the right way. He noped tho Chilians would be - reasonable enough and sensiblo_enough to act properly. A roporter saw_Seuator Cullom after he had had an interview with Secretary Tracey. Speaking of the Chilian affair, tho senator said: “The situation looks very uly. Those littlo chaps down thero are very ‘sassy’ and I think we shull bo obliged to give them a lesson if they dow't changa their tactics at once.

In fact the anti-American foeling is growing in bitterness, and all the American oficials in Chili are apprehensive.that further trouble is brewing. T'he exact nature of this trouble thoy aro unable to define, but they sco little prospect that an amicable settlemont of the Valparaiso incident will soon bo reached, and the signs of increasing popular animosity toward the United States give ground for ap- prehension and indignation. is not intended by these statements to feeling of alarm or even nxiety as 10 the final result of the diplomatic negotia- tions now in progress, but from all oua can seo here today, tho relations between the junta and the United States governmant are dangerously strained. United States Ministor Egan, Captain W, W. Schley of the Baltinore and’ William B McCreery, United States consul at Valpa- raiso, were In close consultation throughout the day, and though it is not possiblo to ob- tain uny definite statements from thewm for publication regarding the nature or the ro sult of their long deliberations, it can be said that they all consider tho roply of tho junta to Minister Egan’s note asking for proper explanation of the Valparaiso collision as ae- cidedly wsulting to the United ernment. It is also known that thoy re the situation at present as being serious. The reply of the junta, they think, ni practically that Chili1s indignant av tho manas made by the United States gover ment, that she will take her own time to con- sider'the matter, and that when tho junta reaches u couclusion that government will settle the matt without reference to the views of the U, ed States on the subject The reply of tho junta, thoy further say, | fails to express any regret for the wurder of the Baltimore's men, nor is there in that doc- ument any expression of regret as to the con duct of thie police in using their_bayonets in arvesting the Baltimore’s men. Several of the lattor, it will be rememberad, aro more or less severely wounded with bayonet thrusts Whilo the United States ofticials here aro Justiy indignant at tho terms which the reply of thie junta is couched, their inaignation is | as nothing to that felt by the American resy- | dents in Chili.

It is learned today that the United States craiser Bultimore 15 preparcd to enforce, if | such & course s founa uecessary, proper treatment for her ofticers and sailors who may be co led by the necessities of the servico to go ashore. It 1s not meant by this that Captain Schley will in any way irritate the Chilians by sending men or officers ashore when it is evident that they are not welcome there. On the contrary, everything possible will be done by the Baltimore's commander to avoid any trouble.
