A call of the house was ordered immedi ately after this decision and all but threo were present. The roll was called on the election of secretary of the senate and the democrats a3 usual refused to vote. Tho re publicans voted for CIiff and Engle for Ken nedy. Senator Finn moved that the names of the senators present und not voting be recorded. The motion was ruled out of order, but the ohalr, on his own responsibility, ordered re | coraea the names of the democcatic senators Bolter, Cleveland, Dodge, Groneweg, Kol | 1y, Matton, Olson, Perry, Scbmidt, Terry and Yeomans, + Lieutenant Governor Poyneer then an- nonunced as the result of thé roll call that J. | W.

Sl ey TYPESETTING MACHINES. | Results of a Practical Test of the Different ¥ Kinds in Use, Nrw York, Jan. 14.—The committee on {lnlchluu composition, appointed last winter by the American Newspapar Publishers as- sociation, presented a voluminous report to the executive committes of the association in ion iust Tuesday in New York. The full roport in all its details, with numerous ap- pendices, will be published privately for the exclusive use of mempers of the association. | The following is the formulated summary of the conclusion of the committe £ The sommittes agree in statin First. That machine composition lutely practicable and very mucl than hund composition. Second. That, as between the typesetting and typecasting machines, the lutter are by \ farthe more preferable for ordinary' news- DRper work. . Third. That, so tur vs was revoaled by this test, thé Ro - ers typograph produced tho best and'most economicul results. Its simplicity of construction wis 8o great that It was set up ready for running In ninety minutes. Kor five consceutive days po muchinist or other party thin the operator had anything to do } with the ma hine, and it ran smoothly, with sourcely a4 moment’s Interruption for the entire perigd of the iest. Fourth, That, s0'far us revoaled by this test, the LinotyPe muchine, while showing Dursts of speed excocding the capneity of 1ts competitors, yet owing to the reckiessness of the operator, the ubsence of al superintend- tand, possibly, to the too delicate and eom- piicated mechunism, 1t foll fur short in the general resulv of accomplishing what had been elsimed for it by its owners, and others Fifeh. The MeM{llan mucbine, while o fting the highese typographioil excellence of its composition, becanse justified by hand. navertheless, by reason of the fact that it ro- quires two skilled workmen to p;oduce Its re- {8ults, 1t s 1ot to be preferred on'the score of economy for uso in_newsvaper offices under ordinnry working conditions. Sixth” That the St. John typobar was not entored as a contestant, but Mr. St. John cour- azeously prestnted the original experimental machine on exnibition only.

It is absoluteiy true, as stated in the dis- patches-ast night, that the Harrison admin- istration has called *‘time” on Chill. 1ts course will be fully determined on at the cabinet meeting F'riaay, when full infor- mation is expected from Minister Egan on all the questions ho has been directed to bring to the atter.tion of the Montt govern- ment, and these instructions are in the na- ture of an uitimatum. When all the facts become public it will be known that up to January 12 the Chilian government had not given satisfaction for the insulting Matta letter or circular, as well as for offensive words in the Chilian Chamber of Deputies. It will be further sho'wn that tho minister from the Uniteu States was directed to bring this matter before the Chilian govern- ment as a preliminary to the second request for reparation for the Baltimore outrage. No Further Deluy Possible, Fine spun discussions of what the ulti- matum means and the indefinite ‘statvment about the personal attention which the president .is giving to the Chilian corre- spondence do not obange the situation. The instruments have gone to Mnister Egan that Chili must disavow Matta's insuly and do it quickly. Cablegrams have been coming and going between Valparaiso and Santiago avd Wash- ington all duy. It is known that Minister Egan bas laid his instructions before the fereign minister and the Chilian government is aware that delay in answering will be a further aggravation and will hasten Presi- dont Harrison’s special message to congress. Responsibility Denled, 4 to the Baltimore incidents the direc- tions are no less explicit. There was a cabinet conference, though all the members were not present, Tuesday, at which the course outlined last night was agreed upon. The developments Monday dfd not justity withholding the instructions any longer, and thoy were sent. The ground taken Is, that the reports of the procurator fiscal em: bodies everything that cau be looked for Chil, and thep this may be two months in coming. From that tinding 1t appears all responsi- bility for the police is denied; that ndem- nity is not assured, and that the most which can be looked for is the possible punishment of three individuals by terms of from four- teen months to three orfive years. Nuvy Preparations Continue, The inquiry of Judze Advocate Remy has shown thut the United States cun never ad- mit this conciusion as satisfactory and there is no reason for longer delay. What the president and his cabinet intend is that wheu the correspondence goes to congress the case of tho Unitea States shall be com- plete in every poiut. G Ovders were sent to' Admiral (heraral in the Barbadoes and to Admiral Walkér av Moutevideo by the Navy department’ this afternoon. Secresy is maintained‘regarding, their nature, but it 1s known that the fieets at both places are to move towards Chilean watars, i in congress it nas bean decided that no resolution shall be introduced calling for ‘the Chilear correspondence. This is the aavice of Chairmar Blovnt of the foreign affairs committee. Ho says in suhstance that such @ resolution inight “increase the chances of nostitities anda that the president and secre- tary of state are in the better position to judge wnen the attention of congress should ve formally called to the vesolution. RID OF HIS BOARDERS, Refugeos Are All Out of Minister. Egan's Residence—The Case of Shields. [Copyrighted 1572 by James Gordon Bennett,] Varrararso, Chili (vie Galyeston, Tex.), Jan. 13.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tne Bee.|—~The Amer- ican legation at Savtiago is av last rid of 1ts tronblesome refugees, and 'Mnister Egan breathes freer. For over four months he has sheltered these men in spite of - threats, hostile demonstrations ‘and most anhoying police and secret service espionage. His guests have been boarded and ‘'fed’ at Mr. Kgau's expense. With their departure, it is hoped,ends ull trouble over the efugee ques- tion, There were sixteon of these men originally, but the number dwindled down by degrees until nine only remained. Three of them, Jose Carrora and the two Mekeunnas, as [ notitied you, were escorted by M, Egan aboard the Yorktown the other day. A fourth was determined to remain in Chili and fight his case ‘wn ‘the’ courts. Tho otber five waere this morning escorted from the American legation by Minister Egan and placed ‘aboard the Yorktown. At thesame time the Spanish minister escorted to Valparaiso those of the refugees who have been vrotected in s E?vnlion and saw them safely on the United Hiates cruiser. One of then was a. brother of Balmaceda. There are now nine refugees on the Yorktown. The tenth, ‘lose Cazcora, sailed on Monday aboard the German steamer Abydos, to which he was transferved from the American warship. May Come to This € “The Italian minister accompanied Mr. agan and the Spanish ministor today from Sautiago to the Yorktown, The departure of the refugees from Santiago and their em- barkation here were free from any hostile demonstrations, They will remain aboard the Yorktown until January 18, when . they will sail for Panama on one of the Pacific mail steamers. They will then cross to Aspinwall and sail for Europe or the United States. 1 understand that Secretary Blaine is mal ing claims upon Chill in the case of Shields, the fireman of the Amevican vessel Keewe- na. Tam informed that Shields, as a ma ter of fact, was a deserter from the ves: got druuk in Valparaiso and became engaged in many quarrels. When the police iuter- fered, it 1s alleged, be fought with them, and they retaliated by veating him. There does not now appear to be any plea forthe safety of Consul McCreary. authoiities have taken police precautions, 1 am informed, simply in order to avold future troubles. Pio IPerro, who was the fiscal of Valparaiso under Balmaceda, was brougnt here toaay from Saotiago t stand tirial before the judge of crimes.

Senators Paddock, Perkins, Chandler and Cocisrell thought the present wothod of in- vestigation. by the court of claims would re- suit satisfactorily if thav court could be strengthened by the appropriations required to secure the needed assistance for the in- vestigations., At all events it was thought better for all parties that no radical change shiould be atterupted until a ballot triel haa been given that court. The discussion indi- cated an excellent temper on the part of the senate toward the settiement of these claims. There can be no question that the senate, at least, will stand by the legislation of the last session and do all that is.necessary to strengthen the chances of the Tudian depre- dation sufferers for securing the payment of their claims at the earliest practicabie duy.
