ARTY LINES WIL NOT BE DRAWN, Democrats Wil Support the Administra- tion Int Chilian Trouble Wasuiveroy, D C., Jan, 24.—There wero no new developments today regardiug the Chilian situation. Tt was reported touight that Secrotary Blaine had received a mess- sage from Mr. Ezan, but the secretary said this oyening that thore was no nows for tho press. Secrotary Tracy and Minister Montt also anuounced that they had no news to- night. Although tho fact that the ultimatum which has been sent to the Chiltan govorn- ment does not necessarily imply that war will follow, vet the fact that affairs had reached such a serious stage was tho subject of talk overywhero in Washington today. On the streets, in the clubs, hotel lobbies and al taces whore mon congregate, the Chilian matter was tho chiof tonio of conversation. The ability of this government to wage a successful war with Chill was ficely dis- cussed and tho opinion was unqualifiedly ex- prossod that there would be no trouble on that point. Tho Post tomorrow will publish inter- views with several prominent persons on the subjoct of the Chilian troubles. The most interosting is tho ono with Lopresentative Holman of Indiana, who spoke substantially as follows, Talk with Mr, Holman. “Of ¢ourso we must conside the results of asy action that wo may iake against Chill. Suppose we should go into a war, what would be our relations toward Peru and Bolivia after tho troublo was ovor! Of courso these two nations would be involved with us. Must we protect them from the resentment incurred by the contest? It o, how long will the obligation rest upon us! There 1s no doubt about our ability to conquer Chili, to practicaliy annihilate her if we needed to 2o so far. Chili could be conquered with our present army and navy in four months, I think, and if this force woula not suffice, _look at the resources back of them. But the war itsell is a small part of all that must be taken into con- sideration. Tbo l0ss of ife woula bo almost nothing, but what are the consequences! Not only the question of a virtual protector- ate over Poru and Chili, but the effect of the war upon other South American nations must be considered. How will our relations with tbe other governments of that contment be affected if the United States makes war upon Chili? What would he its intiuence upon the senti end those nations toward us! In the course of time you would seea great syndi- cate of all the_governments upon these two continents. Nota union, of course, like our states, but a closo altiance. We must think of the offect upon this movement of any action toward Chili. I shall not care to oxpress any opinion as to what shoula be dono until I got ull tho facts from tho president. One thing is cortain, that the administration will recnive the ungualified support of the demo- cratio sido of tho houso in eny measures necessary to uphold the honor of the govern- ment. - Thero will bo no question of party at all.? al Standpoint, Commander Dickins of the United States navy, who bas had o wide experience with the South Americans, thinks that nothing short of punishment will imbue Chili with the prover respect for this government, “Tho rank and filo of the peoplo are ignorant of our resources and_ confi- dont that they can whip us. Notuing vut actual foros will convince the Chilians that they are not_strong enough to insult us with impunity. No deeper insultor wrong could bave been offered a nation than the slaughter of her sailors because of the uni form they woro. Firlug on our ‘g is always considered a cause forwar, butch ering of our ssilors is a . .o affront. Bloodshed is more than a point for arbitration. Disputes over mounoy or bound- aries can proverly be arbitrated, but if a man strike you in the face you don't care Lo arbitrate the controversy. The smallest reparation we can demand if we intend vetain our self-respect’and the respect of the world is that Chili shall offer an abject apology, pay an fdomnity and salute our flay “Captain Evans showed tho right sprit in threatening to retaliate \f his gig was stoned again. 1i a British commandor had been 1n Scbley's place, with his sailors im- prisoued ashore and denied medical treat- ment, he would probably have given the authorities twenty-four hours in which to release the men, with the aiternative of hay- g tho city shelled, and his government,” said Commaunder Dickins, *would Lave sus- tained bim in it.” Hopes tor Peace, Reprosentative Cato said he did not think thero would be any open hostiities, **Ihere is no use,” hesald, *for a fight over this mat- ter. It can, Ithink, and will be adjusted on « basis honorable to this country. Several members of congress expressed thomselves as hopeful and confident that thore would be no war, though if such a state of affuirs should bo brought about and the dignity of the country be at stake, there should be no hesitancy on the part of the government to maintain it, COMINC A HEAD, 10 I Can Delay no Must be Ae Cuicago, 1k, Jan, 24.—Toe Inter Ocean's Washington dispatch says: “Regarding the veport that Cnili desires the withdrawal of Minister Egan, it is doubtful whether thore is any precedent for demanding the recall of a mnister at so critical a stage in the uegotiations betwecu two countries, LordgSackville West was given bis papers by the United States, but there was no dis pute pending between his goverument and ours at the time, and it was at the suggestion of the British government itselt that Presi- dent Cleveoland took that course iustead of demanding the minister's recall by his own home government. A demand at this tme from Chili or the presentation of his passports to Mr. Egan would, in the opinion of aiplomats bere, immediatoly be followed by the dismissal of Minister Montt aud a severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries. If in the meantime no intimation of an intention to apologize for the assault on the Baitl: more's suilors had been received from Chili, @ declaration of war would not be long coming.

Varranaiso, Chill (via Galveston, Tex.), Jan, 24.—[By Mexican Cablo to the New York Herald—Special to Tur Ber. |—The ultimatum of the government of the United States that Chill must immediately, and without reservation, withdraw the offensive note of Senor Matta, ox-minister of foreign affairs, apologize for the assault upon tho sailors ot the cruiser Baltimoro and pay in demnity for injuries inflicted upon American izens, has been hauded tho Chilian govern ment by Minister Egan. ‘This is the reply sent by the United Statos to the demand of the Chilian government for therecall of Mr. Egan. The prompt sending of this ultimatum in- stead of an order to Mr. Egan that he return home has surprised the Chilian governmaent, and it is rumored that President Jorge Montt, who is resting at a batbing resort, has been asked to return at once to Santiago and consult with his cabinet and council of state in regard to the matter. In & Mighty Ticklish Place, I bad interviews tonight with Edward Motte and Judge Alfonso, both of whom are members of the council of state. When I intormed them of the nature of the ultimatum sent by Secreeary Biaine they expressea considerable surprise at its terms, and, without formally comuutting them selves, both agreed that it would be a supine act to now withdraw Matta's letter. They expressed the bope that at the mecting of the council of state in conjunction with the cabinet, to-morrow, a peaceful solution .of the dificulty might be arranged. Judge Alfonso, who is well known to Seeretary Blaine, said that any war between the two countries would be exceediugly foolish, and he was fully con vinced that the United States did not desire to bumiliate Chili. ‘When 1 saw Dou Carlos Walker Martinez tonight, ho expressed deep regret that the Clulian cabinet had brougnt the matter to such a crisis, and evinced strong hopoe for a peaceful settiement of the difficuity. He bas doubt that tho sentiment of tho Chiliau con- gress will uphold these views. Minister ¥ During the past week, in spito of the show of friendslip towards Minister Egan by Senor Periora, minister of forcign affairs, and other membaers of tho Chilian cab inet, events have come to light exhibit ing surprising duplicity. Minister Egan was asked last week by the Chilian foreign ofico to “'recognize” tho fact thatSecretary Bluine had accepted the renunciation of Matta's circular letter by theChilian government, the so-called renunciation being forwarded up.on the explanation that President Harrison's messago was a domestic document and it was therefore improper for a foreign government to officially comment upon it. Mr. Egan declined to entertain the provosition until after he had communicated with the Wash- ington government and obtained instructions from his own superiors. He declined to acknowledge the ‘‘reauncia. tion” upon the ground stated by the Chilian authorities without official information from an's Backbone. Washington. When the request in rogard to the Matta note was made upon Mimister Egan ho was told that alotter in regard to the subject would be sent to tho Amorican legution. The promised lettor was not sent. Oun the contrary, the Chilian governmont cabled Seror Pedro Montt, its ministor at Washington, to de- mand the recall of Mr. Egan beeause he vrus persoun non grata, Instructed to Sever Diplomatic Relations Secretary Blaing's roply to the.aemand for Minister Egan's recall was delivered yestor. day. Insteadof being an instruction to Me. Egan to rewrn home, it instructed the American minister to deliver the ultimatum of the United States government to the Chilian authorities, This ultimatum demands the immediate and unqualified withdrawal of the Matta letter without reservation, an apology for tho assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore und the payment of an idemnity. It is couched in an extremely firm and decided tone. Min- ister Egan is instructed 1f the aemand is not complied with at once to sever diplomatic relations with the Chllian governmont.

The murderad gitl's sistor, who bad by this timo recovored from her astouishnient, grappled withtho woman and tried to hold her, but in a twinkling she, too, received a cut, but iuckily only a trifiiug oac near tho ear, Miss Mitchiell being freod from Miss \Ward, jumped in the bugey and with tho exclama: tion, “drive quick; I've done it," seizod tho whip and with Miss Johnston stiil holding the lines the pair were soon around the corner and away from the sceue of the Lragedy. Miss Ward was tenderly picked up by the crowd and g passing earriage, which was pressed into service, conveyed her to Rogers’ infirmary. She was, howover, begond human aid, and expired Just as the infirmary was reached, ‘Tt body was then tuken to an undertaking establishment. Arrest of the Murderess, At 6 o'clock this evoning Chlef of Polico Davis had arrestod Miss Mitchell, who was found at her home on Unon street, and con- veyed to the jail. The causeof the kithug_is tonight not positively apparent as Miss Mitchell refuses 10 say a word to anvbody on the subject. It is said, however, that Miss Ward, who 18 visiting in this city, had on former trips to Memphis been the guest of Miss Mitchell. Lately, however, sho has vefused to partake of the hospitality of the Mitchell houschold and refused also to recognize Miss Mitchell N the street. It 1s alloged further by several persons that Miss Ward has mado remarks of a decidedly un- complimentary nature rogarding Miss Mitch- oll, and this latter allegation is supposad to have been the cause of the tragedy. Miss Mitohell is the 19-year-old daughter of Georgo Mitchell, a retivea furnituro dealor. Miss Ward is the_daughter of John Ward, a planter and wealthy merckant of Golddust, Ark.

A joint statement nas been issuod by the archbishops_of _Paris, Toulouse, _Rheims, Lyons and St. Malo, complaining that the state has become atheistic. This will 1 creasc the probability of a separation of church and stato aud awakens the hopes of the Protestant sect, in France. Some of tho leading Protestant clergymen of Paris have been interviewed on thesubjoct. Dr. Thurber of the American_church said: “I consider that, Protestantism is making progross, though slowly, as it has to combat both Roman Catholld traditions and atheism. The latter has beeu carried to such an oxtent as to show itself even in the Chambers.” Rov. Mr. McAll, the head of the MeAll mission, said: “‘Kvangelism has made rapid progress recently. There arc now nearly 1,000 reformed churches in France. During the last seven rs both the Cutholic and Protestant religions nave made great head- way against atheism.” Pore Hyacinthe said: I don’t think thero is one Freuchman in 10,000 who is really an utheist, though many profess to be such. The Roman church doos not supply the necessary siritual needs and is too clogized with super- stition." “The report that the pope has sent a letter to Cardinal Richard, advising tho adhesion of tho church to 'the ropablic, is deuiod.
