APPROPRIATE.
It Is not Likely Tbat Congress Will make
an Appropriation for the
World's Fair'.
San Fbanci sco, Dec. 14. A Washing
ton special says: "The Chilian im
broglio bears ugly looks and is giving
the administration more uneasiness
than the president or his advisors will
be Kkely to admit. There is no doubt of
the truthfnllness of the report that on
Saturday Secretary Blaine received a
dispatch from Consnl Mebrery stating
that the ugly feeling against Americans
was again cropping cut in Chili and that
trouble of a serious nature might occur.
About the same time there came a
long cablegram from Minister Egan,
which wag nastily deciphered and at
once placed in the hands of the resi
dent. This was to the effect that the
finding of the court of inquiry into the
bloody Baltimore massacre would Trob-
ablyyoppose the claims of the United
btates and might probably be made the
basisf saucy and unsatisfacsory note
to Secretary Blaine.

. Will Make no Appropriation.
Washington, Dec. 14. Representative
Springer, of Illinois, iu speaking of the
action of the board in control of the
World's Columbia exposition in deciding
to ask .for an appropriation of five mil
lion instead of a loan of that amount,
as at first contemplated, said: "I do
not think there is any good reasons to
expect-congress to make an appropriation
of the amount specified, for this congress
will be quite chary in its expenditures.
Congress will, however, I am confident,
make a loan to the board of that amount,
for, guaranteed as it will be, by receipts
which will aggregate-three 'times the
amountasked. -1 ' r
