York Herald--Special to Tin : Bnn. | There
has boon n decided Improvement in the situ
ntlou within tbo past twenty-four hours.
There Is no "war talk" In Valparaiso among
those whoso opinions have weight with the
government. Minister Montt has cabled
from Washington that ho has assurances of
on early sottlomout of the questions arising
from the assault upon the crutsor Baltimore's
sailors , nnd Senor Poroirn , minister of for
eign nffalrs , has assured Minister Egan that
the Chilian government will deal severely
with all persons who have Insulted Ameri
cans.
Ila\e.Vot Heard from Ilurrlioiu
Notwithstanding the reports sent from
Washington that President Harrison Is urg
ing an Immediate reply to the demand made
upon Chill by the United States , I Imvo been
tolu by a representative of tbo Chilian gov
ernment that no spocltlo rcnuiromcnts have
boon forwarded to Santiago. Up to tbls tlmo
only conoral proposals have boon made , and
the Chilian government Is awaiting the de
livery of the express terms of the demands
which the United States government will
make upon It. It is not expected here that
these demands will bo made unjll1 nftor the
entire ovldonco concerning the Baltimore
affair has boon received at Washington.
/ am told on seml-ofllcial authority that
Senor Pedro Montt , Chilian minister at
Washington , has boon instructed to act in
tlio most.conciliatory manner. Under these
instructions ho will avoid all dlfllcultlcs that
might bring about a war.
Congress Will lie Asked to Advise.
President Montt in all probability will not
act entirely upon his own responsibility , in
replying to the demands from Washington.
If no does not receive tliospecific demands
before January 25 , on which dale the Chilian
congress will adjourn , bo will either callan' ; '
extraordinary session or await Its mooting in
'
rogulur session in April. In njiy event 'con
gress will bo asked to adyiso President
Montt in regard to his action. >
United States Minister J3gnn now moots

monoda. Diplomatic cavaliers acknowledge
bis success.
A Chilian squadron of three ships andjone
torpedo will start on n cruise next Tuesday" .
They will sail with scaled orders and their
destination Is not publicly known. It Is no
torious that tlio vessels In tbo Chilian navy
have not tholr. full complement of ofllcors'
and men.
Colonel Carvalho , late of Balmacoda's
army , will bo released from prison next
Monday. Other ox-olllclals of tbo late presi
dent will probably bo .released at an early
date.
date.Now that the roftmens who are In the
forelen legations are out of the Jurisdiction
of Chili , there is llttlo doubt that tbo gov
ernment will proclaim a more extended am
nesty , nn nvont that will bo generally ro-
gardot ! ns tending to pacify tbo country.

lIonnTl to lte\ol e.
Thif prevailing 'opinion ttmoncrVhJ'publi'c
mun In Sa'ntlago and Valparaiso is that' the
elections soon to to hold la Argentina will ,
end in a revolution. This idea seems 10 bo
confirmed by the news ,1 , have received from
Buenos Ayres. Admiral Solicr , I am in
formed , has taken command of tbo Argentine
squadron , and has ordered several ships to
bo put in readiness for immediate use. Tbls ,
coupled witb bis recent disagreement with
President Pellegrini , arouses tbo suspicion
that the situation is not as serene as it
might bo.

YAKKTOX. S. D. , Jan , 15 , [ Special Tele
gram to 1'iin BKC.J The South Dakota
World's fair commission has probably struck
"pay ore" nt last. The commission has la
bored Incessantly for otcht months on various
plans to ralso $ 0,000 for a state exhibit at
the World's fair , but failure has practically
stared them hi the face from every quarter.
Months ago Governor Mollotto was asked to
call a special session of the legislature for
the purpose of securing a World's fair ap
propriation , but the executive declined nnd
the feeling has been that bo was personally
and officially opposed lo a state exhibit. The
commission has contracted some debts , nnd ,
if the work U continued , will contract moro.
There has been no money to worlc with and
tbo commission had just about concluded to
tnrow the whole endeavor up.
But the commission has finally obtained
some executive clemency and the prospects
are good for a special session of the legis
lature at an early day. The governor has ex
pressed a willingness to call u special session
without expense to the stato. Today the
commission wired his excellency that If ho
will accop1. the personal pledges of the com
mission that there will bo no expense accru
ing to the state because of n special session ,
and call the session without delay , the com
missioners will boar the expense. Tbo com
mission is composed of eighteen of the host
mon In South Dakota nnd the pledge Is gilt-
odgcd. Members of the commission say that
if the governor calls the special session , an
appropriation of nt least ? 50,000 may bo
expected because the farmer tnonibers all
feel rich in grain and future prospects. The
governor's reply to the commission will
certainly settle South Dakota World's fair
exhibit prospscts for bettor or worse.

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 1ft. iSpoolal
Telegram to THE BKB. | Mr. Bryan of Ne
braska has taken n largo contract on hU
Jiands. Jn addition to free salt , frco binding
twine , free lumber nnd free barbed wlro ho
ha promised Tree coal , Iron ore , cotton ties
and other articles which really Involve a
gcnoi-al revision * of the tariff. If what ho
p.'omls9s Were to bo carried out In good
faith thorn would bo no reason why all the
schedules fhould not bo rovlsod , The demo
cratic hotisp , In addition to free wool , could
hardly afford to give the Now linglnnd mini-
ufncUirors frco coal and Iron ere without
mnklng.u pretty heavy cut Into the Iron nnd
stcol schedules. But .thuro Is In icnltty no
intention of putting iron or coal on the free
list. That would strike too many democratic
congressmen.
It was Gorman who , -in 18811 , so bitterly nnd
successfully .opposed the tarjff comihlsslon's
recommendation for a reduction on coal of
25 cents n tog. Mr. Bryan In Ills bill shields
the trust by maklnc provision for free bind
ing twlno nlouo. Tbo cordngo trust controls
not only the blndlnir twine product but every
spoclos of rope and cordugo. It hns bean
steadily forcing up the prices of nil ftirletlus
of ropo. The only way It can bo brought to
tlmo is by reducing the duties In the on tire
cordngo schedule. But Hoformor Brvnu is
at great pains to do nothing of the kind.

tween thn first nnd second was found a trap
over which the unwary stranger must pass.
By an arrangement of bolts this trap , which

der was the purpose of tbo trap was shown
by the discovery of hair , dried blood and
bones on the rocks at the bottom of the pl s
under the trap. The inhabitants of the den ,
however , are missing.
