Wasniseroy, D, Jaun, 24.—[Special felegram to Tun | An oxciting im petus was given to tho Chilian situation by the publication this morning of double leaded statoments to tho effect that the United States steamer Philadelphia had been or- dered to the straits of Gibraltar to intercept tho Chilian war ship, Captain Prat, now in course of construction at a French ship yard and which was to be hurried off to Chili for its finishing touches, lest the Irench repub- lic be requested to hold her as an enomy of tho United States: that an ultimatum had been sent Chili which meant war; that Chili domanded the withdrawal of Minister Ligan, and that Mimster Montt would be givon his passports if the dewand for Bgan's recall was acceded to, and that the changed coudition of affairs mizat result in the with holding of tho correspondence which is ready for transmission Lo congzress LOMOrrow. Tnese statements are all made in a vein most positive and created a decided sensation in somo quarters, but did not appear to tate officials, although tha preseaco at tho white house this morning for some timo of two cabiet ofiicers in consultation with tho president operated to g1ve them crodence. Wil Go to Congress Today. Tt is stated upon authority tonight that tho situation has not materially changed during the past week and that the Chilian matter will all go 10 conizeoss tomorrow. T'ie much talked of ‘“ultimatum” which was sent to Chuli a day or two ago was a ro iteration of the demand mado last October for repavation of the wrongs committed against our sailors in Valvaraiso. The pros ident notified Chili last weck that he would send the correspondence had botween this and that country to congress,on Monaay and that sho would havo time to make any further statement she might havy to make and which she mizht want to appear in his document to congress. ‘Then the matter would be out of the hauds of the diplomatic ofticers of the government and in charge and undor the Girection of con- gress. Ho desirod that Chili should have full knowledge of the situation. In this no- tice ho restated the demand made for repara- tion in October. Ihis last message is uow Leferred to as an “‘uitimatum.” s Recall, Tho other day Minister Montt stated to Secretary Blaine, officially, that Minister an was non persona grata, and suggested that ho be recalled as a means of socuring a proper apologetical message from the Chilian goverment, “The veply mado by tho presldent was that it did not becomo Chili to object. to our diplo- matio representative nutil she had made amonds for her wrongs.

It is officially denied that the United States Philadelphia has been ordered to proceed to Gibraltar to futercept (ho Captain Prat, al thouzh it is not unlikely to bo true that such a1move is being made. 1{ the Captain Prat was allowed to vs completed in or taken away from I'rance whilo our affairs with Chili are in statu quo, it might prove a very unfortunate circumstauce to this govern meut, (] Apologles or War, Apologies or war should be recommended to cougross by our government it once.

At the State department the rumor of an apology was denied. It is known, and has been known for sey oral weeks, that Mr. Egan’s presence at tho Chiliau capital is a source of irritation to the Coilians. 1f bo were absont, it is smd by the Chihans, negotiations toward a peaceful set- tiement of the controversy might progress more rapidly and satisfactorily. “Tho president has practically given Chili o last opportunity to yield to the demands of tho United States ana give satisfaction for the Baltimore affair without appearing to be forced to act, He has instructed Minister Egan w0 ask the Cbihan government what Is goiug to be dono, and whether it is proposed to do anything at all 1f, in soswer to Mr. au's request, any expressions of regret or promisos of reparation are received the United States will give a reasonable time for the fultillment of the promise, and much less will bo taken in sausfaction for the outrage than if this rountry is put to the necessity of resorting 10 & show of force to obtain justice, Will Urge an 1 Minister Egan Is expected to urg e an im mediato auswer to the inquiry, and if it is not fortncoming in a few days thoe president will assume that Cbili will not do auytbing until pressure is brought to bear.

He seems to agree thus far with the prevailiug opinion amoug naval officers that the Chilians can understand no arguments unless backed up by force, und his present plan coutomplates u naval demonstration in the immediate viein- ity of Valparaiso, participated in by twelve ships.

The Valparaiso incident is tho all-prevailing topic of conver sation, and the probable results of a war botween Chili and the United States aro eagerly discussed.

Tho company owns oighty-fivo aistilleries and is operating only eighteen or twenty of that number.

PROMISED RELIEF Alliance Measures Have Not Developed In Congrress as Expected, LITTLE INTERESTS OF FARMERS NEGLECTED With the Exceptic Warehouse and All of the Threatened Ridiculous Leglslation Mas Failed, ¥ - of i Few Subtre Farm- sur Sehemes Wasmiy TOURTEENTI STREET, WasmiNgroy, D. C., Jan, 24, To the surprise of everybody and the dise appointment of many, very few ‘“fizhty" measures have been introduced into the 1ower house of congress so far in this session. It was expected that the conglomerate mass of politicians an statesmen and demagogues in tho house would bring about many curious propositions ia the way of legislation, Those who were clectod upon independont tickets wero especially expeeted to presont many ridiculous propositions, but o far they have boen confinod almost exclusively to o few measures looking toward tho subtreasury, warehouse and farm-loan schemes, It has beon remarked on every hand that the farmers olliance advocates have buen very modost in tueir demands for legisiation uD to this time. The scheme presented from Madison ccunty, Indiana, by Senator Peffer, provosing a loan of §100,000,000 upon real cstato sccurity in tho iloosier state, was probably the most glaring, wild-oyed scheme which has come from the alliance so far. [t was expected that the Stanford 2 percont project would bob up 1 various forms, and that there would bo many propositions for the abolishing of national danks, and the ox- cessive issue of greenbacks and' the ereation of fiat money, but altogother an examination of the thousands of bills which have so far been 1nwroduced into the two nouses fails to reveal any considerable excess of unreason able demands. It Promises Little Relief Now, Cousideratle disappointment is shown in both of the old parites over the dearth of legitimate propositions from tho allinnco members to relievo the situation among farmers. 1t was sincerely expected and very much hoped that this new blood in the legis- lative halls would suggest some steps which would really assist the farmers, for it must ve admitted that the great majority of men in cougress would gladly pass bilis to help the farmers, if thoy could do so without tak- ny unfair attitudo toward other inter- “Tho trouble heratoforo has beon that men have remained in congress so long that have drifted away from theiv particular affairs at home aud havo been unable to sug- gest measures outside of the usual line. ‘Chie ailiance and independent parties railed greatly at. the republicans especially during the last campaign, and claimed that the party which has been 5o long in power had ne- glected its duties in_ failing to take care of the farmers. [nough men wero clected on the farmers’ ticket to make a wise counsel in congress, for over forty occupy seats in the houso' and claim to bo the special reprosentutives of tho farmers. The m 1t was belioved, would put their heacs together ana present some measures which would be 50 reasonable and just as to command the greatost respect vom both of the old parties. Thero 1s sincere aisappointment in the absolute failure to present any measuro which would be- consti- tutional or just, or which would in the least degree aid tho rural classes. Tho trouble seems to have been that the special representatives misrepresented tho condition of offairs in congross and the efforts of the republicans in the past when they were upon the hustings in the last campaign. Very many misstatements wero made. Demagogical * lecturers and agents went among the farmers and reprasented that tho ropublicans had done this thing and tho other thing and left undoue tnis and that, all in opposition to the truo interests of the farmer, \When the farming classes were mislod and elected their representatives the leaders ot together hero and, after looking the field over carefully, practically came to the conciusicn that they had misjudgod. Interests of Farmers Negleet At thiz time there is nothing before either house in the interost of the farmers which has any commendablo feature in it, and which has the least show of final adoption. Among all the bils which have been pre. sented not a singlo ouo is practical. Those that havo faint suggestions of practicability and justice are completely submerged in 1m- practicable and unjust aud uncoustitutional projects, which take the measures out of the line of possiblo adoption. It secms to have occurred to the farmer representatives that it would b wise for them to act together and agroe upon a line of measures and then to submit them to expert legislators, and constitutional lawyers in the two houses for revision, If this process was carried out there might be somo measures which would command respect aud support from both parties, for 1t must be admitted that any respectable moasura in tho interest of the farming class will pass without material _opposition in either house. It is tho extreme and rdiculous feature of a bill that kills the good qualities In it, and it seems that the butchers have boen occupying the watch makers' seats whenevor an effort has been made to prepare legislation for the faruers in any part of tho country: for thero is not tho least trace of skill or iutelligence as to legislative process in any of tho bills which have been presented by the special repre- sentatives of the farmers, Some Wild Financlal Schemes, 1t bas been loft to some of the older mem- bers of the house to present the most illogical, if not the most ridiculous, propositions, and after all, the alliance wna inexperienced members’ have shown greater wisdom in not presenting auything, if thov are not able to proscot something plausibie, An Ohio member who has had great experience in legislation proposes to loan the surplus of the government to national banks at too Dbighest rate of futercst possible by advertis ing_for competitive bids, Tho complaint against United States deposits in uational banks has been upon the principle of resting public funds in the hands of private parties, and the proposition of the Ohio member meets with greater opposition from the anti- national bank element than tho present pol icy of the government in keeping live ac counts with the national banks for the con venience of federal officers, A North Carolina niember would erect monumeuts toall the distinguished officers in the two armies as fast they disappear from tue accve ranks of life; while Senator George wants the intersiate commerce law amended so that a basket of provisions may bo sont by frelght from oue section of tho country to the other at tho same rates which the railroad companies may bo permitted to chargo for a wholo traiuload, Representative Harter ovidently believes that theold law authorizing state banks to 1ssuo circulating notes is1n effect, for ke wants to give the states authority to collect one per cent tax, upon the circulating notes of bauks, the as is collected by the Federal goverument upon the circulation of national bank notes, Lumber on the Free List, A favorable report is to be made this week from the house committee on ways and means upen the vill of Mr. Bryan of Lincoln, plac ing lumber on tho free list.

In all thd mass of proteyts and objections, therd were nono which affacted his integrity or his eficiency. Tho whole trouble seems to have been that Judge Reavis and a fow oth ers proferred someone else. As Mr. Hol- brook had alroady boen appointed, the re fusal of the president to send his name in to the senato would have been equivalent to a refusal. Senator Padlock, wnen requested to intervene, wrote to Falls City that he must insist upon a strong caso being made out against Postmaster Holbrook, and on unguestioned tostimony it a demand wore made for his absolute “vemoval; and, ip the absence of such testimony, he should inst upon Holbrook's nomination and confirma- tion, Tho preat mass of the papers in the Holbrook cases endorse his standing in his party and lis eficioncy as a public official, Misce Ex-Mavor R, O.

ACTIVITY AT BROOKLYN, Work Belng Done at that Navy Vard—Arma- ment of the Floet, New Yors, Jaa, —The atmosphere at the navy yard today was almost as hazy as it a bank of war fog had swept over Some of the ofticers ridicule tho idea that thero will be any conflict between the United States ana Chili, while, on the otber nard, some ure less sangmine that there will bo a peaceful terminaton of the present contro. vorsy.

The orders to Rear Admiral Gherardi, the commandant of the north Atlantic sGuadron, to go with the flagship Philadelplua and the gunboat Concord to Montevideo, i3 looked upon by the oficers as anticipating tho presi- dent’s message to coneress, and the probable action upon it. 'T'he two vessels havo sailed from Barbadoes and are now on their way 1o South America. The orders to theso vessels may be interpreted s meaning that they shall continue on to Chili. Acting Rear Admiral Walier has also been ordered from Montevideo to Valvaraiso with the Chicago, Atlanta aud Benuington. \When Admiral Gherardi reaches Chili he will be the senlor officer present, hence he will po in command of all the “forces present. The fleet will then consist of the Philadelphia, Chicago, Charleston, Baltimore San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Yorktown, Concord and Bennington, a fleet of a total tonage of 3,025 and mounting ninety large brecch-loading rifles as a main batiery and 124 rapid-firing Hotchkiss and Gatling guns as a secondary battery. 1If the Newark should bo ordered to Valparaiso she would add twelve lavge breecn-loading rifles and seventeen guns in the secondary battery, and _all of theso vessels of thetew navy would make s formidable fleet against tho Chilians, In atalk with Secretary Tra ago on the Chilian matterho remarked that should there po actual hostilities thera would be nceded at least 20,000 men for the ships, but he questioned ‘whether so many men could roadily be obtained for active service, He remarked that tho onlist- ments wero so slow that it was necessary o adopt somothiug more systematic than the present method of recruiting. He expressed himself in favor of the plan suggested by Captain Heury Lrben, commandant of the navy yard, in a report 1o Secretary Tracy in October, 1580, On Tucsday the president submitted to congress & communication from Secretary Tracy accompanied by the report of tho board of uavy officers appointed under the provisions™ of the naval appropriation bill to selact a suitable site for a dry dock at some point on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, Secretary Tracy says that he approves the selection on the right bank of the Mississippi river in view of the con ditions found by tho commissiun to exist there.
