incidents, conclusively established, j ion I onirht not to delay lonaer to bring
showed that the attack was upon the ! these matters to the 'attention of Con-
UDitorm ana toe nationality and not
upon the men. The origin of this feeling
is probably found in the refusal of this
government to give recognition to the
Congressional party before it had estab
lished itBelf ; in the seizure of the I lata
for alleged violation of the neutrality
laws; in the cable incident and in the
charge that Admiral Brown conveyed
information to Valparaiso of the landing
at Quinterous.
It is not my purpose here to enter any
defense of the action of this government
in these matters. It is enough for the
present purpose to say if there was any
Dreacn 01 international comity oi duty
on our part, it should have been made
the subject of official complaint, through
diplomatic channels or of reprisals for
which full responsibility would have
been assumed. We cannot consent that
these incidents and these pervers.ona of
truth shall be used to excite murderous
attack upon our unotlending sailors and
toe government oi unui must not go
acquitted of responsibility. In fact, the
conduct of this government during the
war in Chili, pursued those lines of in
ternational auty wnicn we nau so
Btrongly insisted upon on the part of
other nations when this country was in
a similar position.

The message concludes as follows:
Alter summarizing the correspondence
up to a certain point he says: The
communications from the Chilian gov
ernment in relation to this cruel and
disastrous attack on our men, as will
appear from the correspondence, have
not in any degree taken the form of a
manly and satisfactory expression of re
gret, much less apology. The event was
of so serious a character that if the in
juries suffered by the men be wholly the
result of accident in a Chilian port the
incident was grave enough to have called
lor some public expression of sympathy
and regret from the local authorities.
It is not enough to say the incident is
regreted, coupled with the statement
that the affair is not of an unusual
character in ports where foreign sailors
are accustomed to meet. It is not for a
generous and sincere government to
seek for words of small or equivocal
meaning in which to convey to a friend
ly power an apology for an oll'ense so
atrocious as this.
In the caso oi assault by the mob in
New Orleans upon the Spanish con
sulate in 1851, Webster wrote to Spanish
Minister Calderon that the acts com
plained of were "disgraceful and a flag
rant breach of duty and propriety," and
that his government "regrets them as
deeply as Minister Caldron or his gov
ernment could possibly do," and that
"these acts have caused the president
great pain and he thinks proper acknow
ledgment due to her majesty." He in
vited the Spanish consul to return to
his post, guaranteeing protection, and
offered to salute the Spanish flag if the
consul should come in a Spanish vessel.
Such treatment by the government of
Chili would have been most creditable
to Chilian authorities and not much less
could be satisfactory to a government
that values its dignity and honor.
In our note of October 23 last, which
appears in the correspondence, after re
ceiving the report of the board of olficers
appointed by Captain Schley to investi
gate the affair, the Chilian government
waa advised of the aspect which it then
assumed, and was called upon for any
facts in its possession that might tend
to modify the unfavorable impressions
which our report had created. It is
very clear from the correspondence that
before the receipt of this note the exam
ination was regarded by the police au
thorities as practically closed. It was,
however, reopened and protracted
through a period of nearly three months.
We might justly have complained of
this unreasonable delay, but in view of
the fact that the government of Chill
was still provisional, and with a dispo
sition to be forbearing and hopeful of
friendly termination, I have awaited the
report which but recently has been
made on the 21st instant.
I ha I'miul4 Miide.
I caused to bo communicated to the
government of Chili, by the American
minister to Santiago, the conclusions of
this government, after a full considera
tion of all evidence and every suggestion
affecting this matter, and to these con
clusions I adhere. They were stated as
follows:
First That the assault is not relieved
of the aspect which early information of
the event gave to it, viz : That the at
tack was upon the uniform of the United
States navy, having its origin and
motive in a feeling of hostility to this
government, and not in any act of tho
sailors or any of them.
Second That the public authorities of
Valparaiso flagrantly failed in their
duty to protect our men and that some
of the police and of Chilian soldiers and
sailors were themselves guilty of un
provoked assaults upon our sailors be
fore and after arrest. He (president)
thinks pieponderance of the evidence
and inherent probabilities tend to the
conclusion that Higgin was killed by
the police or soldiers.
Third That he (president) is there
fore compelled to bring the case back to
the position taken by this government
In the note of Mr. Wharton, of October
23, last, and to ask for a suitable apology
tor some adequate reparation for the in
jury done to this government.
Will l'ruteot Our lltlzeno.
It must, however, be understood that
this government, while exerting the ut
most forbearance towards weaker powers,
will extend its strong and adequate pro
tion to its citizens, its officers and its
humblest sailor who are made victims
of wantonness and cruelty in resent
ment, not their personal misconduct,
but of official acts of their government.
Upon information received that Pat
rick Shields, an Irishman, and probably
an English subject, but at that time
fireman of the American steamer Ke
weenah, in the harbor of Valparaiso for
repairs, had been subjected to personal
injuries in that cit , largely by the
police, I directed the attorney general
to cause the evidence of the olficers and
crew of that vessel to bs taken upon its
arrival in San Francisco and this testi
mony is also herewith transmitted.
The brutality and even savage treat
ment of these poor men by the Chilian
police would be incredible if the evi
dence of Shields was not supported by
other direct testimony and by the dis
tressing condition of the man himself
when be was finally able to reach his
vessel. The captain of the vessel says:
He came back a wreck, black from his
neck to his hips from beating, weak and
stapid and still in a kind of paralyzed
condition and never has been able to do
doty since.
Claim for reparation has been made
on behalf of this man, for while he is
not a citizen of the United States, the
doctrine so long held by the United
States, as expressed in consular regula
tions, is the principle which is main
tained by this government in re-
?ard to protecting as distinguished
rom the relief of seamen is well settled.
It if held, the circumstance that the
vawel is American is evidence that the
teamen on board of such and of every
regularly documented merchant vessel
the craw will find their protection in the
nag that coven them.

gross, lor such action as mav lie deemed
appropriate.

In the same nute the attention of the
Chilian government is called to the of
fensive character of the note addressed
by .Matta, ex-minister at this capi
tal on the lltli ultimo. This dis
patch was nut officially communicated
to this government, but as Montt waa
directed to translate it and give it to the
press of this country, it seemed to me it
could not pass without official notice.
It was not only undiplomatic
but grossly insulting to our
naval ollicere and to the executive de
partment, as it directly imputed untruth
and insincerity to the' reports of naval
ollicers and to official communications
made by the executive department to
congress.
H will be observed that we have noti
fied the Chilian government that unless
this note is at once w ithdrawn and an
apology as public as the offense
made, I will terminate diplomatic
relations. The request lor the recall of
Egan upon ground that he is not a per
sona grata was unaccompanied by any
suggestion that could properly be used
in support oi it, and 1 infer the request
was based upon the official acts of
Egan which received the approval of
this government, but however that
may be. I could not consent to consider
such a question until it had been settled
whether our correspondence with Chil
could be conducted upon a basis of
mutual respect.
In siibniiitinj; these papers to Con
gress for that grave and patriotic con
sideration which the questions involved
demand, 1 desire to say I am of the
opinion that tho demands made
of Cliili hv this irovurnmant should
he adhered to and enforced. If
the dignity as well as the
prestigu and iulliience of the United
States are not to he wholly sacrificed we
must protect those who in foreiarn Dorts
display the flag and wear the colors of
tins governmentnirai list insult, brutality
and death, inflicted in resentment of
acts of their government and not for
anv fault of their own.
We De sire I'e.ic .
It has beon my desire in everv wav to
cultivate friendly and intimate relations
with all governments of this hemisphere.
We do not covet their territory ; we de
sire their peace and prosperity;
we look for no advantage
in our relations with them
except in caso ol exchanges of commerce
upon a basis oi mutual benefit. We re
gret every curt contest that disturbs
their peace and paralyzes their develop
ment and are always ready to give our
good oltices for the restoration oi peace.

HrxNKW 1:1. ., Kan.. Jan. 25 A man
just in from the Southwestern part of
the Cherokee strip teds a remarkable
story of a duel between two girls which
he says'tool; place at a little settlement
in the northwestern part of Texas, just
south of the line ot So Man's Land.
The two girls had a long time been
warm friends and lived together on a
claim which had been taken up by one
of them. All went well with "them for
some time, but at last there came be
tween them a coolness, which arose
over the attentions of a bright young
cowboy.
Things got to such a pitch that at last
the girls had an open rupture, and
according to tho code of the country
they agreed to fight a duel with revolv
ers. Both girjs were good shots and the
matter looked serious, but the seconds
took the matters in hand and arranged
that the pistols should have blank car
tridges. The girls were to walk ton
paces from back to back, ami then turn
and lire tili their pistols were empty or
until one fell.
Everything came oil according to pro
gram and the girls each fired six shots,
the last being at a distance of only a
few feet. They then realized what had
been done to the pistols, and dropping
the weapons, rushed at each other and
indulged in a hair-pulling match, which
was so severe that their friends were
compelled to part them. When they
found the man w ho instigated the duel
they both turned upon him and gave
him a beating and then became fast
friends again.

tion. She has long been known as one
of tho most beautiful women in New
York society, and she will irorn now on
be known as one oi the bravest. Her
claim to bravery rests on a little adven
ture which she had w ith a burglar just
before dayiight last Friday morning.
Mine. He Barrios had been to the
opera Thursday evening and had re
tired at rather a late hour. At a little
aiter 4 o'clock she was stirtled from her
sleep, an I by the dim ligut of the night
lamp she saw a tail, heavily built man.
"Who are you?" said Mine. De Barrios,
in French. The burglar turned, mutter
ing something under his breath, and
started toward the be !.
She grasped the handle of a bell rope
which ran to the apartments of the men
servants on the top floor, and pulled it
vigorously. The alarm bell clanged
loudly through the house, and the
burglar turned and ran for dear life
dowrn the stairs and out into tho street.
When the coachman and butler got
down to the hall the doors were swing
ing wide open and the thief had gone.
The burglar went away as empty handed
as he came.
She modestly disclaims any credit for
not Bcreaming or minting and said she
would not thiol; of calling herself abrave
woman. "But," said she, "I saw too
many exciting events in the Guate

rascal like that fellow." Mme. Ie Bar

A labor union ol Motala has passed a
very bitter resolution as to charitable
work. The resolution is as follows:
"We express our emphatic diaaoDroval
of that kind of charity the aim of which
is, by means of gifts, people's kitchens
or alms, to cripple the self-respect of the
womngmen, and make them awn and
creep before the higher classes, which
roll in luxury at the expense of the suf
fering workingmen."
The customary court festivities, recep
tions and balls, not to mention the al
most daily occurring brilliant private
entertainments are now lew ana lar be
tween. King Oscar's sickness has, of
course, been the cause, and as the King
yet is far from well it will take some
time before the nobility and other roy
alists are able to have some "real fun."
The "People's Kitchen," in Stock
holm, is a very excellent establishment.
In a large hall is a counter running the
entire length of the room, on which a
great number of good-sized soupbowls
are arranged filled with steaming soup,
and a large slice of meat of the most
excellent quality. Each bowl is flanked
by half a loaf of rye bread, with knife
and fork. The customer on entering
purchases a check which costs him less
than live cents. This entitles him to a
quantity of food sufficient to satisfy the
most voracious appetite. Through some
brewers' generosity small beer will be
served occasionally without increase of
cost. On the opening day a firm repre
senting an American company gave
1000 loaves of corn bread weighing over
two pounds each. The duties of waiting
on customers are performed voluntarily
by society ladies.
The Columbian exposition in Chicago
is causing the liveliest interest in most
of the cities. At first merchants and
manufacturers were rather chary in tak
ing hold of the matter, arguing that the
McKiniey bill would close the American
market for Swedish products in almost
every branch of trade, but this feeling
has subsided and hag been supplanted
by an activity in its favor that promises
to bear excellent results. Many promi
nent firms will; without doubt exhibit.
One of the most important exhibits in
the Swedish division of the fair will cer
tainly be from the Vulcan Match factory
at Tidaholm. This ig probably the
largest of its kind in the world. It em
ploys over 1,200 men and manufactures
daily 900,000 boxes of matches. The
yearly output requires 000,000 cubic
feet of wood, 2,600,000 pounds of paper,
and 40,000 pounds of rye flour for past
ing the boxes. Three hundred of the
most complex and ingenious pieces of
machinery, all of Swedish invention, are
used in the factory. This company
takes good care of its workmen. Besides
having erected comfortable dwellings,
rented cheaply, it provides a life and ac
cident insurance policy of 1,000 crowns
for the men and 600 crowns for the
women free of charge. During the pre
vailing hard times the company has gen
erously ottered to supply its workmen
with flour at last year's prices. This is
no small item when one considers that
flour and grain have appreciated 20 and
30 per cent, in value during the last
eight months. This company is said to
contemplate a duplication in miniature
of its extensive plant at the world'g
fair.

His death was not unexpected, as it

from the grip last spring left him in a
much debilitated condition, from w hich
he seemed unable to rally. During the

with his declining years and the cold,
damp weather prevailing, it was impos
sible for him to recover. Two days ago
he rallied, and it was thought ho might
shake oil' the illness, but yesterday he
began sinking.

ance with the wishes of the dead justice,
will be a quiet, private set vice, to be
held at his late residence Sunday after
noon, and the remains will then be
taken to Newark, N. J., for interment
on Monday. The supreme court ad

Judge Joseph P. Bradley was born in
Berne, Albany county, N. Y., March
14, 1813, and was of English descent. He
came from a family of jurists and was
the sixth judge in his line. He gradu
ated from Rutgers college in 18311,
studied law and was admitted to the bar
in 1839 at Newark, N. J., where he
opened an ollice and practiced law tor
o0 years, being employed in many dim
cult cases in the Stale and United
States courts. In March, 1870, he was
appointed by President Grant a justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States, where his many decisions and
opinions were regarded so valuable that
they have been extensively published in
law reports. In January, 1877, he be
came a member of the famous electoral
commission and bided with the ma
jority, which decision placed Hayes iu
the presidential chair. He was deieated
for Congress in 1862 on the Republican
ticket in the Sixth district of New

Mark for Confidence ftlen,
St. Paul, Jan. 25 By a death which
occurred shortly after noon today at
Albert Lea, Minn., two vonng girls not
yet out of their teens, living on a farm
in Dutchess county, N. Y., become heira
to more than $500,000. They are the
second cousins and only heirs of Sanford
Tanner, who died at the Albert Hotel,
Albert Lea, at the age of 75 years.
Tanner owned thousands of acres ol
land in three States and had nearly
$50,000 on deposit at the banks of Aus
tin and Albert Lea. He lived alone for
years, making mortgage collections.
Because of his wealth and eccentricities
he was a mark for confidence men, and
in the past 10 years this class of gentry
have secured nearly $100,090 of the old
miser's money.
He was robbed of $20,000 alone in one
lump by a couple of rascals from Chi
cago iu the winter of 1888. The came
up to Austin about Christmas and learn
ing that Tanner was going into the
country to a party, asked and obtained
consent to take him out in a sleigh. In
stead, however, doing as they agreed,
they took him to a country saloon and
at a revolver's point made him sign four
checks for $5000 each. This done, they
drove him far into the country and left
him standing in the snow. Then driv
ing to the nearest station they took a
train back to Austin, got their checks
cashed at the opening of the bank, dis
appeared and no truce of them has beon
found.
Ooe Hunt From a Needle Gun Did
eadljr Work.
Somerset, Ky., Jan. 26 By a gentle
man just arrived from Clay county your
correspondent was given the particulars
of the killing of John Desarm by John
HenBley, Sunday morning, near Bull
skin Salt Works on Goose creek. An
old feud had existed between the parties
for some ysars and they had threatened
to kill each other on sight, and each of
the men had gathered a number of
friends around and equipped for battle!
at the first meeting.
It happened that Ifensley and some
friends were passing along Goose creek
when a shot was fired at them from the
opposite side of the creek, where they
saw John Desarm alighting from and
getting behind his mule. He then fired
another shot from his pistol but missed
his mark, doing no harm to the enemy.
Hensley was armed with a needle gun,
with which he fired at Desarm, the ball
passing through the mule, killing it and
penetrating the heart of Desarm, killing
mm instantly.
Hensley then went to Manchester and
surrendered and was lodged in jail. His
brother, F. Hensley, a white man named
Dick Abner and a negro were arrested as
accomplices and all are now in jail.
Much excitement prevails over the
affair.

the doctor because ot Judge Rising's in
structions to the jury that it was not
necessary that every link in circum

that a conviction could be returned be
perfect and that a conviction could be
returned if they thought the doctor was
guilty. The attorneys quote a case
where similar instructions were given to
jury in Colorado, which caused the
reversal of the judgment in the same
court.

Property In New Vork Valued at this
Amount Calmed.

Edwards, of Fremont, Neb., arrived in
this city today and engaged a lawyer to
establish his claim to a large quantity
of real estate, including some of the most
valuable property in New xork City.
Edwards claims to have secured posi

title yesterday.
ine ioundation of his claim is that
Robert Edwards, his great grandfather,
in 1780, emigrated from Wales and se

Pl eulo. Col.. Jan. 25 Episcopalians
here are earnestly discussing a lecture
delivered by Dean Keafer, of Colorado
Springs, in the Church of the Ascension.
all the clergy ot his denomination in
I'ueblo were present. The dean aston
ished his hearers by declaring that any
man who had accumulated a million
dollars was a thief. The church has
several communicants worth more than
a million, who have always been classed
among honorable men, and their friends
and families are exceedingly indignant.
The dean declared himself a socialist
and called on all the clergy present to
express their views, but none of them
exactly coincided with the dean.

Halifax. N. S.. Jan. 25 Rev. F.
Adams in a temperance meeting last
night, said that the army and navy
were a curse to llaliiax ana did more
to injure the social lile of the city than
any other element. Ue denounced the
British officers as parasites who enjoyed
the hospitality of citizens and then
laughed at them.
He had never known an officer who
was a Christian, not even the garrison
chaplains, while the private soldiers
corrupted servant girls and the effect
was that young citizens were cotnpeiiea
to go abroad for wives. Mr. Adams'
speech caused a big sensation and a
number of people left the building to ex
press their indignation.
