Special Dispatch to the Enterprise.
Washington, D. C. Jan. 2T,, Presi
dent Harrison's meHsaife on the Cliilian
question accompanied by the documents,
correspondence, etc., In the case, was
sent to congress today. The menage
reveals all of the evidence in the cane
and aaya lie feels compelled to stand on
the demand of the note of the 21st inst.
to Minister Egan.
These demand are that the Chilian
government must apologise and make
reparation for the assault on the Balti
more' aailora Cctolier Kith; that the
Malta discourteous note of December 1:)
must tie withdrawn and the language
disavowed with as much publicity as it
was circulated or diplomatic relations
with Chili will cease; that Mr. Egan's
recall w ill not be considered until these
matters are disposed of. The presi
dent lu stating his reason for making his
demands advised that congress take
steps toward the enforcement of the pol
icy laid down by the United Slates gov
ernment In the matter.
The Chilian corresoondence gives the
details of the trouble between Minister
Eitan and the Chilian government and
shows what appears to be an important
element in the trouble. Admiral McCann
during evolution, by mistake quoted to
the insurgent leader a personal state
ment of Egan that he thought Balmaceda
must succceed. That gave rise to the
subsequent charge of Eagan'B partisan
ship. After Matta's insulting circular Egan
cut on" communication with the Chilian
foreign office but relations were resumed
on the first of January and the new min
der told Egan that the president's meg-
sage could oot be made the basis of
diplomatic action. Blaine replied that
such action was unprecedented, and
that the offensive message should be un
conditionally and fully withdrawn. The
Chilian minister of foreign affaire
promised to do teis by the 18th but has
done nothing yet. .
Washington, 26 This government
today received a long message from
Minister Egan, conveying an offer on
the part of the Chilian government for
the settlement of all existing difficulties
with the United States. This message
confirms in every particular the state
ments made in the Associated Press
dispatch received from Santiago last
evening, which was in effect that Chili
agreed to withdraw the offensive note
sent by Matta, to withdraw the request
for the recall of Egan, and to submit the
Baltimore affair to the arbitration of
some neutral nation or to the decision
of the United States supreme court.
Egan states these propositions at greater
length than the press dispatches, but
the exact additions cannot now be ascer
tained. There is reason to believe,
however, that the Chilian government
not only offers a withdrawal of the
offensive note, but in addition offers to
apologize. It has also agreed to the
proposition made by the United States
in regard to the right ot asylum and
safe conduct of refugees.
Egan's dispatch was submitted to the
cabinet today. The entire question was
discussed, and it is understood a differ
ence of opiuion was developed as to the
proprioty of accepting the offer without
modification so far as it related to the
submission of the question of Chili's re
sponsibility for the attack on the sailors
of the Baltimore to the arbitration of a
neutral nation or to the decision of the
supreme court. Without reaching a
decision the meeting adjourned.
Washington. Jan. 26. The latest
phase of the Chilian situation as de
scribed at last night's dispatch from
Santiago was the sole topic of discussion
among members of congress today.
There was a general feeling of relief on
all hands at what was looked upon as
the beginning of a peaceful ending of
the controversy. In the absence of offi
cial Information, many senators and
representatives seem chary of express
ing their view on the matter. The gen
eral concensus of opinion was that the
answer submitted, if authentic, was
satisfactory to the United States, and
all that could be demanded. The only
point mentioned in our ultimatum not
covered by the dispatch was the demand
for apology. On this point the admis
sion that the Matta note was an error
of judgment and the promise of its with
drawal were considered to be in the na
ture of an apology.
It was generally conceded that the
proposition to refer to foreign arbitra-
tion or to the decision of the United
Mate supreme court the entire Balti
more incident is a proposition which
cannot be well rejected by this govern
ment. There Is one point in the dis
patch from Santiago, however, Ilia, is
somewhat mystifying to all, and that is
why the Chilian government should
deem it necessary to recede from its re
quest for the withdrawal of Minister
Egan, since that was not one of the de
mands contained in the ultimatum of
the United Slate. This concession was
not expected.
TEE WEEK II C0HQKEB8.
Much Will Depend Upon the Disposition of the
President's Menage.
Washington, Jan. 24. The course of
Droceediiigs in congress during the week
depends largely upon the manner in
which the president's message and the
Chilian correspondence is received. The
probability however is strongly against
tiie matter being precipitately taken up
for consideration by either branch of con
gress, or any discussion on the subject
immediately on the receipt of the mes
sage. The usual formal course will
doubtless be followed by referring the
message and the accompanying corres
pondence to the appropriate committee.
Pending its consideration in the com
mittee, the message and correspondence,
will be printed. The disposition of the
most influential men is adverse to tin
usual haste in the consideration of the
subject.
The newly-reported code of rule will
be the principal topic of discussion in
the house during the week, unlesa the
debate on the Chilian controversy is un
expectedly precipitated. Owing to the
political issues, which may be reviewed
ft cv I
in the anticipated lively debate over the "ounces mat, unuer me ftpanisn reci
...i,.. it ..,,,1 1-. nro,i,V(o,t how lnn a I procity treaty, btots and shoes from the
time will intervene between the taking
up and adoption thereof.
The appropriation committee is pre
paring an urgency deficiency bill to con
tinue the work of the census.
The Circuit Judgeship.
Washington, Jan. 24. There was
about 13000 spent in telegraph tolls when
Judge Hanford was appointed United
States district judge of Washington.
Now that there is a prospect that Han
ford may be appointed circuit Judge and
another vacancy created for the district
judgeship, it seems that there is a strug
gle for this place which is not yet vacant.
Among these are United States District
Attorney Winston who is now in Washing
ton and Sam Hyde. Both of these gentle
men are from Spokane, and only one can
be appointed, even if a vacancy should
occur. Besides, neither can now secure
the recommendation of the senators, be
cause thev are on record for Pritchard.
It would seem that the snarls relating to
Washington state patronago would never
be straightened out. As to who will be
judge of the circuit court is in just as
much doubt as ever. The Oregon dele
gation stand by Simon, and have not
changed one iota. They once having
agreed upon him, take no back
talk, and do not consider any other man.
It is either Simon or no Oregon man.
The Democratic OonTestion.
Washington, Jan. 36 The longer the
situation is considered the more it be
comes apparent mat me selection oi
Chicago as the place for holding the next
national democratic convention was the
work of the senatorial "big" four, Gor
man, Hill, Brice and Barbour. New
York will send 10,000 delegates, workers
and heelers and no city of less capacity
than Chicago was deemed large enough
to accommodate them.
The Behring Sea Settlement. "
New York, Jan. 24 Among the
passengers who ai rived today on the
steamer Etruria was Sir George Baden
Powell, the British Behring sea commis
sioner, who will endeavor to bring about
an amicable settlement regarding the
fisheries trouble. Sir George will prob
ably go to Canada from here to confer
with the Canadian authorities after
which he will go to Washington.
BeidWiUKetnrn.
Washington, Jan. The report that
Whitelaw Reid, minister to France,
would resign that position and return to
the United States to re-enter the field of
journalism was confirmed at the state
department today. Mr. Reid is expected
here early in I'ebruary. It is believed
the cause of his resignation is a desire to
resume his lifetime labors in the news
paper profession.
By a very ingenious and original pro
cess, Dr. J. C. Aver & Co., of Lowell,
Mass., are enabled to extract the es
sential proprrties of the materials UBed
in the preparation of their famous "Ayer's
Sarsaparilla," thus securing a purity and
strengtn mat can ue obtained in no
other way.

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 23. Thousands of
cattle are slowly starving to death in
the hillsof Southern Idaho. The loss to
stockraisers will be tremendous. Every
blade of grass upon the range, is under
from 22 to 60 inches of snow . The pres
ent winter has not been equaled in sever
ity since 1870. The rigorous season was
not anticipated by ranchers, and they
delayed bringing the cattle to the low
lands. Tiie delay has proven fatal, anl
a well-known stockman said today that
every domestic animal left in the hills
is sure to meet death, either from cold or
hunger. Nearly every rancher will lose
more or less heavily, though many of
tLem bad the good fortnne to drive por
tions of their cattle into the valleys belore
the great snow came. Boise meat deal
ers announce that the price of meat will
soon be raised 2 cents per pound. Min
ers in the mountain districts cannot
work, as the claims are bidden by snow.
No snowslides nor loss of human lila
are reported.
The Ominloa of Boot sad 8hoea.
Washington, Jan. 24. Many inquiries
having been made aa to why boots and
shoes were not included in the reciproc
ity arrangements with other countries,
the bureau of American republics an-
United States are now admitted in Cuba
and Porto Rico at a rate of duty 25 per
cent less than is charged on similar arti
cles from other countries. Under the
reciprocity arrangement with the West
Indies boots and shoes, after the 1st of
February, will be admitted at a reduc
tion of duty 50 per cent less than charged
upon similar goods from other coun
oountries, ' Similar concessions from
other countries it is believed will be an
nounced. To EioloJs Chiaete.
Washington, Jan 24 Representative
Stump, of Maryland, chairman of th'
bouse committee on immigration, noe
prepared a bill absolutely prohibiting
the coming of Chinese laborers into the
United States for a period of twenty
years, which he will lay before the com
mittee at an early day. Mr. Stumps
has considerable knowledge of the
effects of Chinese immigration, having:
been a member of the house committed'
of the last congress, which visited the
Pacific coast and conducted the inves
tigation into the subject.
BeTolntlonlit Garia.
Laredo, Tex . , Jan . 24 Mexican Con
sul Diss said this afternoon his govern
ment had offered no reward for Garza,
but would doubtless take a band should
he be captured and put on trial. Then
the, principal charge against him would
be treason. The report that if captured
by the United States authorities he would
be at once extradited is eroneous, as he
must first be tried in the United States
for a violation of the neutrality laws.
After his trial on such a charge will be
time enough to talk about extradition.
