Pui.-lI.Kvr II Al.UisoN, on Monday sent
his tuess;ig,.. to Congress giving an ac
count of tin- Chilian situation, accom
panied l,y documents and correspond
ence reviewing the ease and stating his
position. The correspondence is very
Voluminous and contains everything
that has passed between the two govern
ment since the complications have
arisen. President Harrison say.- he feels
compelled to stand uj.n his position ta
ken in a note to Minister Egau on the
21st inst. demanding that the Chilian
C.ovrrnment must apologize and make
reparation for the assault upon the P.al
timore's sailors; that the Matta's circu
lars reflecting on this government must
le winhdrawn and disavowed or diplo
mat ic relations w ill cease.
K Tuestlay the Shite. Department at
Washington reviewed a reply from the
Chilian Covenonent to the ultimatum of
the I'nited States which is in effect as
follows: Chili agrees to withdraw the
offensive note sent by Senor Matta to all
Chilian ministers abroad and ac
know ledge that it issuance was due to
an error of judgment. Chili also with- '
draws its remiest for the '-ithdrawal of '
T nihil Stair? Minister Kgan. In addi
tion to this tin- Chili m Covrrnment. in
its answer, proposes that the affair of the
attack on the Paltimorc'.-j sailors in Val
paraiso be submitted to the arbitration
of some neutral nation. If this propo
sition is not acceptable to the United
States Government, the Chilian Govern
ment suggests that the matter he sub.
iniueii 10 ti,o decision of the S
"upn me
"out I of thi I'nited Stales.

rittstur Foi, waecnt toCng.tes Mon
day. It is Unto if Anything more than
tho f-iihmission u official detuikil form
of information already in poFse?ion of
the puhlie. Chili is disposed to Ik? tardy j
in offering an HiHdogy ami reparation
for the attack last October c the sailors
of the Baltimore in the city -f Valparai
so. Harrison and Ulainepyy they, have
done all in their jwcr to pel her to ti
the scrati h in this matter, and not hav
inu SUi.-eeded now bring the subject
formally to the attention of Congressfor
such iK-tioti as the reprocntatives of the
peofle may think proj-r to tak.
There is no ccaio!t for haste in mak
ing a declaration of w ir against the
comparatively insignificant little nation
that stretches along the southwestern
c a.-t of South America. There are al
ways two sides to vry iicstion, anil
the American people um not well
informed yet touching the side of the
Chilians. Let tin-subject be thoroughly
aired in Congress before definite action
is taken. The jx-ojile want to know all
about the p liey and conduct of Minister
Patrick Kgan. and low far it is respon
sible for tin- goading of the Chilian mob
into the outbreak at Valparaiso, and for
the general dislike of the I'nited Stat'-s
by tie- people of that nation. Full in
formation on this point may have much
to lo with modifying the sentiment now
prevalent with us toward Chili.
It is pretty well undcrstnc! generally
that Kgan has Ik-cii a stupid blunderer,
and no doubt this impression will le
fully confirmed v In ii all the facts c'tine
to the surface. It wotdd lw a frightful
mistake to riibp-il thi- great muntrv in
a war with Chili liraiw of the mistakes
of ;i fi -rei-ij.-r s, nt there as minister to
p.iy mi"' of the (M.litical debts, of Mr.
I'.l line.
We do ti"t I.-.- Mght of the fact that
there mii-t l- :i s.-ttletm tit for the Italti
iie'ic affair. That if a matt'-rof couV.-e.
I'.ut irias'i.u. h ;i- ve have waite.1 thus

thi-eotmtry fa..t .i.. to war, notwith-st-indil:'.'
all that has been done toward
working it up by the officers of the navy
and the n..-papi-r correspondents at
Wa.shinvtou. We know little about the
events that led up to the outbreak in
Valparaiso, and until we become fully
informed thereon no rash steps should
be taken.
Mr. Harrison and Mr. lllaine are of
course interested in vindicating the pol
icy of the man they sent to Chili as
minister, and who seems to be more re
sponsible than any other influence for
the present feeling. Hut there is no oc
casion lo go to war to subserve tin po
litical interests of Mr. IJiaitie and Mr.
Harrison or either of them.

'Hie meeting of the Executive- im
mittee of the National As.--oci:Uioti of
iK-nuK-ratic Clubs held at the National
keadipiarteis here this week, was presid
ed over by Representative Wilson, of
West Virginia. All of the meinU i.s were
present in H-rson or by proxy, and they
were all enthusiastic over the condition
1 i th .' association, v hich will this year
make itself an important factor in the
Presidential campaign. According to
the rejiort of the S-cretary there are now
1k twecn live and six thotisanl clubs in
the association, representing every state
and Territory. The coinmitt-e decided
that the full cominitt'H-, which will de
cide ujm.ii the time and place for hold
ing the National convention of tlw asso
ciation to ratify the no:ninulion for
1 "resident and Vice-President, should
meet at tiie same time and place as the
nominating convention. The dun con
vention w ill lie held some time in Au
gust, and several cities arc already in the
fu ld for the honor of entertaining it.
Those Republicans who Wert 1-0 certain
that Mr. Mills would take no pait in the
pr sent se-sion. are not saving mu.-h just
now. as that uciitlt man has rt turned
much improved in heaiih and with his
usual vim has juini-d iiuht into hard
work. Hi- lix- declined the chairman

Hon. Edward .1. Phe'.of Vtimont.
who was our minister to England during
t! Cleveland administration, will prob
ably l- one of the representatives of
this country in the arbitration of the
U ring Sea niatU r. Mr. Phelps was .1
guest at a state dinner at the White

Thoughtless eo.le are predicting a
short s s.-ion of Conurcss, but men like
Mr. ll.!ui..n, who know that protracted
controversies- arc certain to arise betw.t n
the House and Senateover the appropri
ation bids, do not look for an adjourn
ment earlier than August, and will not
be surprised if it does not take place
earlier than t Vtoln-r.
Speaker Crisp has not yet ventured out
of doors, but he assisted his Democratic
colleagues of the committee of Rub-s in
the prccration of the code of rules which
are to govern this House during this
Comr.-ess. The- new rules, now com
pletnl, are largely made up from those
und.r which the Hou.-e of the Fiftieth
Congress woiked. with several imortant
additions to prevent filibustering beyond
a reasonable time, and instead of giving
the Speaker authority to cut off debate,
as the Reed rules did. they give the ma
jority of the House that authority.
Whether the rumored row letwecn
Secretary iJlaine and Mr. Hariison. or
some bit of shrewdness on the part of the
Chilian minister is the caus of thedelay
in sending the Chilian corresondcnce
and the Presidential message to Con

A sMi.aAnil Murder.
Mi n in-. Ti nii.. Jan. 2". A most
Sensational tragedy wa micted le-re
thi afternoon. Alice M ibd,. 11, p. 1 year
id. daughter of a wealthy r tiled mer
chant, ri.-hod up to Freda Ward, daugh
li r nf :i wealthy merchant of (.iol.Must,
Ark., and. grasping her by the neck,
drcv a bright razor m-rn-s her throat.
Miss Ward sank to the pavement and
soon died. Miss Mitchell, who had
alighted from herearriage in which Miss
Johnston, her intimate fiieiid. was also
seated jumped into the vehicle with the
exclamation: '-Iriveon; I've done it,"
and the pair drove home, where Miss
Mitchell was arrested. Miss Ward had
made remarks of a decidedly uncompli
mentary nature regarding Miss Mitchell,
ati 1 this is supposed to have been the
cause of the tragedy. IJoth were f-uniliar
figures in society, and the awful affair is
to-night the talk of the town.
Ilomocide ut !l.iniut.
An insane patient at Dixmont mur
dered another patient early Saturday
morning by forcing a piece of sheeting
down his throat. The victim was John
Johnston Me Fee, from Allegheny coun
ty, and the irrcsp nsible iH-rix-trator of
the crime is O. II. Williams, from Wash
ington county. McFce was an old man.
Williams had leen in the asylum only a
few hours.
Williams was proceeding aliout his
work in the calmest mannerimaginable,
and offered not the least resistance to the
attendant's interference with his murder
ous work. He explained, lief ore being
led away to be put into the straight jack
et, that his victim had persisted in talk
ing w hile he wanted to sleep, and he had
to adopt some method of silencing him.
Williams has a mania lor talking him
self. Canada a I u rib 11 to I cglaud.
As a niattcrof fact, the emancipation
of the grotesque Dominion and its ab
sorption in the United States would Len
efit us liecause it will take a burden off
our backs and relieve us from the neces
sity of engaging in transatlantic squab
bles in which wo have no concern. It
wi! lx nelit the Canadians, because indi-
lf i. ionce always benefits a cot m re
giving to it energv. life, suit it .ni.r..rhJ
things which no mere colony ever
K)Sse.ses. The only people w hom it w ill
not benefit are the; Indian I .-.mf...

wretches being handed over to the tender
mercies of probably the most corrut.t .. I
