WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 28. The follow
ing la the president's massage transmitting
the additional Chilian correspondence to congress -
gross :
I transmit herewith the additional corre
spondence between this government and the
government of Chill , consisting of the note of
Montt , Chilian minister hero , to Blalno , dated
'
ed January 23 ; the reply of Blalno th'ereto of
the date of January 27 , and the dUpatch from
Egan our minister at Santiago , trans
milling the response of Porclrn ,
the Chilian minister of foreign affairs
to the note of Blalno of January 21 which
was received by mo on the SOth lust. The
note of Montt to Blnlno , though dated Jnnu
nry 23 , was not delivered at the Slate de
partment until lifter2 o'clock meridian of the
25th , and not translated and Its receipt notl
fled to mo until late In the afternoon of that
day.Tho
The response of Perolra to our note of the
21st withdraws , with acceptable expressions
of regret , the offensive note of Mutta of the
llth ult. , and also the request for the recall
of Kgan. The treatment of the Incident of
the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore
is conciliatory and friendly.
I am of the opinion there Is good prospect
that the differences growing out of that
serious affair can now bo adjusted upon terms
satisfactory to thU govern mont by the usual
I inotnods and without special powers from
congress. This turn In aff.urs Is very grati
fying to mo , as I urn sure It will bo to coiv
-grass and to our people. The general sup
port of the efforts of the executive to enforce
the just rights ot the nation In this matter
have given an Instructive and useful Illus
tration of the uulty and patriotism of our
people.
Should It bo necessary I will again com
municate with congress upon the subject.

Country und Chill.
\VAHIHNOTOX , D. C. , Jan. 23. Chilian Min
ister Montt on January S3 , in n note to Sec
retary Blntne , acknowledged the receipt of
bis note of the day before inclosing the In
structions sent Egan the day previous. Ho
reiterated the statement that his government
deplored the events of October 10 at Valpa
raise. Ho stated that from what evidence
the government wns able to collect it nppoared
the disorder of that date began by n quarrel
among drunken sailors. The government
of Chill , no slated , had no data authorizing
It to thlnlc tbo quarrel duo to any dislike ol
.ho uniform of the United States , or that the
police failed to perform their duty. The in
toxication of seamen nnd the disorders to
Which It gives rise , although they may
assume serious proportions and occasion very
lamentable offenses , cannot constitute nn In
sult to the nation In whoso sorvlco are the
men who takojpart In the disorder , although
they certainly do not Justify the offenses
committed during the disorder. The minister -
tor continued :
"Tho government of Chili could not. how
ever , form n finnl opinion concerning the na-
lure of tbo occurrence in question as to
whether it had or bad not Improperly partic
ipated therein , or had failed to perform Its
duty until the termination of the judicial
investigation , which wns Initiated without
delay and which , was pushed forward as
speedily as compatible with * Iho pro
visions ot the law , with the obliga
tion of collecting all the elements
of proof that It was possible to collect In
order to throw full light upon the matter ,
and with the necessity of promptly punish
ing the perpetrators of Iho offenses which
had been committed and which had been In
part suffered by persons in the service of a
friendly nation. It was the dcsiro and duty
of the government of Chill to discover the
trulh , in order lo make Its future proceods-
Ings conform thereto , and in order that the
-jlJnltod States government might bo satisfied
that nothing was ncgleotod in order to do
full justice. "
Montt said nothing hnd hcon'neglcetod that
could tend to bring .tho wbolo truth to light.
He then continued : "As the criminal trial
Initiated nt Valparaiso has not yet como to
nn end , my Government has not yet been
able to reply to the demands made by the
Unltod Stales. "
The Chilian minister then referred to the
agreement between himself and Blalno by
which any differences thnt might arise after
tbo trlnl should bo submitted to arbitration ,
nnd said :
"This agreement to accept arbitration has
been the basis of several of our conferences ,
especially that of tbo 18th lust. , and no
antecedent or fflct interfering therewith has
came to my knowledge. On the contrary ,
I took occasion to Infonn you on the lat of
January that my government had authorized
mo to conclude an agreement looking to arbi
tration , and my government subsequently
approved the agreement concluded by mo
with you. of which I also informed you. "
Referring to the investigation made In San
Francisco , ho declared that the testimony
could not servo as a basis of judicial soniem-o
either in Chill or In'tho United Slates , Ho
transmits a copy of a statement by ono of our
seamen at Valparaiso , which ho said showed
they made no cbargo against the police. Re
ferring to Secretary Blalno's Instructions to
Kcsn that ho ( Montt ) bad not com
municated to the Unltod States
government the note addressed to him
by Malta on December 11. ho said
as it contained instructions addressed to
him , and as ho wus not directed to communi
cate it officially to the Unltod States govern
ment , he had not done so. Ho further re
minded Blalno that it was a dootrino estab
lished by the American government that
documents exchanged between the president
ana congress , or between the Department of
State and n diplomatic representative of tbo
United States In foreign countries , could not
form a subject of discussion for foreign gov
ernments , 'He continued ;
"I added ( hat it was fnr from being the
purpose of my government to not In the
matter nt nil offensive to the president of the
United States , or to any member of his
cabinet , nnd that Malta's note , If rightfully
interpreted , admitted of no such construc
i S tion. I afterwards had tbo honor
if to inform yon that I bad received instruc
tions from my government to inform that of
the United States that , considering tbo views
expressed by Messrs. Buchanan and Webster
in 1810 and lb& ) , that mosaugoj sent by the
president to congress were domestic
cqmmur.lcallons which cannot servo as
a "basis for tbo Interpretation of foreign
powers or tbolr representative * , my got-
ernment had no objection to striking out
ofthonoUjot December H such words as
might bo considered disagreeable to the
United States government ,
"Slnco the early part of October , when I
bad the honor to \nvlted to unpIUc al con
ferences with representatives of tbo Depart
ment of State ( as the credentials which ac
credited mo ns minister of Chill had not vet
arrived ) , it has been repeated to mo on
vnrlous occasions by the United States gov
ernment that If the representative of the
Unltod States nt Santiago was not , n
persona grata to the government of t-hlll it
wns sufficient for the government of Chili so
to state , nnd tbntsald representative would
bo succeeded by another. In n conference
with you on the 20th lust , I had the honor testate
state that the representative of the United
Stntcs nt Santiago was not n porsonn grnta
to the government of Chill , which would bo
vcrv glad to rocotvo another representative
from the Unltod States. "
In closing bo soldi "I deem It my duty testate
state in this note that the foregoing are facts
which show the friendly nnd cordial purpose
of our conferences In which you took a most
important part , "
Sceretnry Itlnlnr' * Hoply.
Blalno replied to Montt January 27 , In
which the former corrected several mistakes
ho suld had boon made In the lattor's noto.
"Your offer of arbitration was never un
conditional nnd exact. 1 Insisted on your re
ducing It to writing , for it would
huvo been mduty to lay it
before the president for consideration.
But I was unable to report the more verbal
exchange of views between us ns an ngroo-
mont to nrbltrato. Even then you nlwnyj
maintained that Chill would not vol
untarily propose arbitration herself , but
would do so when It wns proposed
bv some friendly power. You say in your
nblo : 'I took occasion to In form you on the
1st of Juuuary that my government had
authorized mo to conclude an nerecment
looking to arbitration , nnd my government
subsequently approved the ngroon.ont con
cluded by mo , ' nndyntyou do not pretend that
n word Jvas over written of the agreement
which vou say wo made between u-i. It Is
impossible that I over sought to bind the
government of the United Slates in that way.
It would have boon In tbo highest degree im
pudent for mo to do so.1'
Referring to the Malta note , Blalno said :
"By vourown statement you evidently at
tempted to justify the Malta noto. I certainly
couid not accept yourlanguaso und never did
accept , language of that kind ns nn npology
sufficient for the caso. Tbo Malta note
was highly dlscourieous to the president
nnd socrctnrv of the navy , imputing to them
untruth nnd insincerity. Such language
does not admit of the conditional or contin
gent apology which vou offered. It could bo
ipoloRizod for only by n frank withdrawal. "
Blalno then snid ho had asked Montt , when
iho latter was disparaging Epan , why ho
didn't ask for his ( Egan's ) recall , ho ( Blnlno )
intending thereby not to favor Egau's recall ,
but to put a ntop to the frequent montum of
gans | name.

Chlll'M rinnl Apology.
The telegram from Egnn , dated Santiago ,
Jnnunry 25 , was received on the 20th , trans
mitting the note of Minister of Forelp.n Af
fairs Pereira in reply to the ultimatum. The
; ioto is of great length. After reviewing
, ho demands nnd statements made in
3gan's note , and stating that the nttnok on
.ho sailors was not through hostile feeling
toward the uniform of tbo navy of the
United States , because it wns respected by
the Cblllnns , Porclra said :
"In view of your communication ,
and considering -that , up to date ,
it has been impossible for the
trial initiated by the Judge of
the criminal' court of Valparaiso to be do-
cldod. tbo undersigned regards It his duty to
declare once more that the government of
Chill laments the occurrence of October 10 ,
and bv way of showing the sincerity of his
feelings and the confidence which
ho has in the justice of his
cause ho doclarci bis willingness
not to nwait the decision of the examining
Judge , nnd proposes to the United Stnlos
government that tbo case ho submitted to the
consideration of the supreme court of Justice
nt Washington , to the end thnt that high tri
bunal , with its learning nnd im-
partlnlity , may determine , without ap
peal , whether there bo any ground for
reparation , nnd In what shape It should bo
made. "
Perolra excused the action of the police
.n arresting the sailors by saying
they did so to protect the sea
men. Ho recalled the words of
Secretary Blalno to the Italian minister In
regard to the New Orleans affair as follows :
"There Is no governniont.howovor civilized
.t may bo , however great may bo
the vigilance displayed by its po
lice , however severe its crim
inal code may bo , nnd however
speedy nnd Inflexible may bo Its administra
tion of justice , that can guarantee its own
cities against violence growing out of indi
vidual malice or sudden popular tumult. "
"This was precisely the situation of tbo
administrative authorities nt Valparaiso
on the occasion of the occurenco
which took place in October. The
undersigned hopes the foregoing will con
vince the honorable secretary ot state that
the government of Chill attaches duo im
portance to the question now under discus
sion , and that ho does not for n moment hesi
tate to condemn in vigorous terms tbo act
committed on the Kith of October or
to offer such reparation as is
just ; and thnt ho has not neglected to ex
press these sentiments before now , since , on
various occasions and through the plenipo
tentiaries of both countries , ho forwarded
explicit declarations on both subjects to
Washington. "
Pereira declared that If the United States
should not nocopt the foregoing explanation
the Chilian government was willing to arbi
trate.
Referring to the Malta note , Perolra snld :
"The undersigned dopiors that in the
tulogrnm there was employed , through
error of judgment , expressions which
were offoiisivo In the judgment
of your government. Declaring that
In tbo fulflllmentof thohlgh duty of courtesy
nnd sincerity toward n friondl } nntlon , that
tbo government of Chill absolutely with
draws said expressionthoundorsignod trusts
than this f ran It and explicit declaration , which
confirms thnt which has already boon made
to Iho bonorablo secretary of stale In Wash
ington , will carry to the mind of bis
excellency , Harrison , and of bis government ,
that the people of Chili , far from entertaining -
ing a fooling of hostility , bnvo a lively de
sire to maintain unalterable the good and
cordial relations which up to the present
time have existed between the two countries.
With recnrd to the suggestion
made touching a change In the
personnel of your legation , to which instruc
tions tbo honorable secretary of state refers ,
it Is incumbent upon the undersigned to do.
clare that tbo government of Chill will take
no positive stop without tbo accord of the
government of the United States , with which
it desires to maintain itself o # friendly

Jlulp4 Dlscimod Senator Hnlc on
Kcclproclty Proceedings Yostcr-
dny In the IIouso ami Senate.
WASIIIN-OTON , D. C ! . , Jan. 23. The pronood-
Ings of the house of representatives were
marked by two significant events today. Ono
was the rcculpt of the president's ' message ,
announcing that the war cloud had lost
Its somber hue and that the administration
now felt able to cope with Chill without spe
cial orders from congress , nnd the abundance
of American humor , which will burst forth
as the aftermath of all periods of national
crisis. The former was nn indication ihut
the administration felt that the hour of dan
ger hod passed ; the latter was an evidence
that the house shared In that fooling of assurance -
suranco entertained by the chief executive ,
nnd the two Incidents combined have created
a feeling of easy confidence In public and offi
cial circles that ha ? not prevailed at the na
tional capital for months.
Applauded the Jlcftflngo ,
The reading of tbo president's message nnd
accompanying dispatches was frequently in
terrupted by applause , which was by no
moans confined to tbo republican side of the
house , and when that portion of the message
was reached whore the president alluded to
the general support xvhich had boon given to
tbo administration as an Illustration of "unity
and patriotism" of the people , the sentiment
received enthusiastic applause from the dem
ocratic side.
The discussion of the report of the commit
tee on rules occupied the remainder of the
day , and it was du'ring the afternoon that an
adroit motion of Mr. Allen of Mississippi
once more drew the attention of the house to
the Chilian controversy , Tbo Mississippi
democrat moved to amend the rules by-In
'
creasing the membership of' the committee
on foreign affairs from thirteen to seventy-
five , and the speech that followed contained
so many thrusts at his follow democrats that
it was hardly regarded by the republicans as
a typical political arraignment of the repub
lican party.
Objected to the Number Thirteen.
"Now , Mr. Speaker , " said Mr. Allen , "thb
great struggle to which thirteen men. iho
members of the foreign affairs committee ,
have boon subjected for the lost few days
has prompted mo to offer this amendment to
increase their membership from thirteen to
seventy-five. [ Laughter. ] Wo have no right ,
sir , in my humble judgment , to impose so
much responsibility upon thirteen men.
| Laughter. I Thirteen , you will remomuor ,
too , Is nn unlucky number [ renewed laugh-
tori and T do not want any unlucky things
to happen when wo coma to deal with for
eign affairs. [ Laughter and applause. ] Now ,
I suppose that In ordinary times of peace I
should uov-er have thought of making this
proposition , but I have been prompted to it
. .by the tremendous excitement to which wo
hivvo been subjected for the last few days.
[ Laughter. ] 1 do not know but that it
would bo proper for me to state the reasons
why my views upon this question of our for-
, cigu relations with Chill have not appeared
in public print , and why I bavo not , like the
others , given voice to my warlike feelings.
[ Great laughter. ] Sir. some thirty years
ago I went to war rather hastily. [ Tumul
tuous laughter and applause. ]
War Mnde Him Cautions. '
"My experience in the war has never
daunted my courage [ laughter. ] but it has
made me decidedly mnro cautious. ' [ Renewed
laughter. ] I do not want now to relioct on
any of my confederate brotbron who have
rushed Into this war with a zeal that I thln.'c
s somewhat precipitous , but it strikes me
; hero are some of them who seem to feel that
tholr reputation for patriotic devotion to the
country is a little impaired and they want to
repair it. [ Laughter. ] But , sir , my repu
tation foe patriotic devotion to the country
and my courage In time of battle nro so well
established thut I do not need to rush into
newspapers to give advice. [ Renewed
laughter. ] But I tnink that that committee
should bo a great conservativecommittee. .
I for one , do not blame the foreign affairs
committee with any haste , and I am not
going to censure thorn ; but you know how
easily thirteen men might be taken un
awares and rushed into War with some sort
of precipitation. [ Great laughter , ] Now ,
sir , recurring to the incidents that wore re
hashed to us in the correspondence between
our government and Chill today , I want to
say that I never would bavo spoken on this
subject until there was a satisfactory settle
ment of it. [ Laughter. ]
How Ho Killed His F.nouiloi.
'I am not as familiar with diplomatic cor
respondence between nations , perhaps , us
the present secretary of state , Mr. IJlalno ,
but I do know , Mr. Speaker , tbo code of
honor that governs gentlemen in affairs of
this kind , having spent tbo most of my life
In living under that cede and in fighting
duels. [ Great laughter. ] Most of the men
that I have killed , sir , I have killed under
thatcodo [ reuowod laughter ] butlf wo bavo
to resort to the cede , I must say that there
has boon aomo precipitation in our action.
In Mississippi if , when ono goatloman Insti
tutes a correspondence with another and
brings him down to the point of difference
and Qnally sends him bis ultimatum [ laugh
ter ] if that man , attor sending ibat ulti
matum were to rush into print nnd publish
tbo corrospondnnco before ho had bud ttino
to hoar from bis ultimatum bo would bo a
persona non grata In that stato. [ Great
laughter and applause. ] It is not the proper
thing when you huvo sent your ultimatum to
your adversary to rush Into print and give
your side of the case to the country bef ore
you bare hoard from the ultimatum. [ Re
newed laughter , ]
Juat nu mi Illustration , ,
"Just to Illustrate bow this thing strikes
me I will road a sentence from an Interview
with a distinguished gentleman nhoonco sat

Sneaker Kelfor. I read from the newspaper ,
'Mr. ICuifor thlnus the sentiment in the re
publican party is drifting rapidly toward

[ Great laughter and applause on the demo

ter.l This 'drifting of sentiment' in the re
publican party toward that distinguished
contloinan , the president of the United
States , might have boon stopped if ho bad

member that not a great whllo ago. it was
stated in tbo public prints that on ouo occa
sion , when the president was to go to Now
York tbo. train that was to have loft the
depot at ten minutes to 10 o'clock was de
layed until ton minutes after' 12 , lost the
president should travel on Sunday [ great
laughter ] and yet I am informed that the
president bad a number of printers \yorklng
all day last Sunday in order to pet that mes
sage in here 'just in time.1 [ Great applauio
and laughter on the democratic side , J
" 1 see aUo from the newspaper , Mr.
Speaker , that the chairman of the committee
on foreign affairs was interviewed by another
member of that committee , the gentleman
front Michigan , Mr. Cbipman. Mr , Cbipman
said to the gentleman , 'You must ho glad
that the committee is relieved from the great
weight of responsibility , ' and to that the
cbau'man did not dissent. [ Laughter , ] Now ,
that shows how 'this committee wus lm <
pressed with this responsibility , and I re
peat that it is not right to ISx so much re
sponsibility on a few men.

I have not hart tlino to air ray war views fur

Prolonged laughter nnd applauso.l
Of course the motion to increase the mem
bership of the committee w'as defeated , but
"t had served Its purpose in glvln ; Mr. Allen
n chance to make ono of these felicitous
pooches which have made him the rccog-
nzocl wit of the democratic side of the house.
McMlllIn than took the floor and although
reviewing the whole code of rules ho devoted
ho greater part ot hli time to a discussion
of tbo so-called Holman amendment.
The debate on the report of tho"committee
on rules were hero interrupted by receipt of
Mio president's message.
When the message had been road , ordered
printed and referred to the committee on
oroign affairs , the discussion was .resumed
by Reed of Maine making'a speech In oppo-
ition to the report of the committee. Mr.
Rood's remarks were in an humorous , sar
castic vein and were loudly applauded by the
republicans.
Why Mr. McMlllIn If ) Plctned ,
Mr. McMlllIn of Tennessee said that if
hero was ouo thing that made him happier
Imn another it was that the gentleman from
Maine no longer occupied the speaker's
chair and that his party was in a hopolrm
minority. The democrats were here nt the
old stand doing business , nnd the places
which had recently known the republicans
would know them no nioro forever. [ Demo
cratic applause. ] > .
Mr. Catchlngs of Mississippi defended the
proposed rules and animadverted upon the
cede adopted by the Fllty'-flrst congress and
the rulings of Speaker Rood thereunder.
General debate having closed , the rules
were road by paragraphs'for amendments.
On motion of Mr. Catching an amendment
was adopted , increasing from sixteen to
seventeen , the membership of'the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce.
Mr. Hcmphill of South Carolina offered on
amendment giving" to the committee on the
District of Columbia' jurisdiction over the
appropriations for the support of the dis
trict. "
Pending action Mr. Cochranoof Now York
announced the death of Representative
Spiuola of Now York , nnd then'tho house , as

IN THE SENATE.
hlllan Correspondence A Discussion on
Kocluroelty.
WASHINGTON , D. C. . , Jan.-28. The presi
dent's message , transmitting additional
correspondence in iho Chilian"-mailer , was
presented and road and roferrod'to the com
mittee on foreign relations. '
A resolution was offered fltreotlng tut ) *
secretary oft state to furnt'ih the senate
copies of all agreements made with other
countries relating to interchange ot trade
and commerce , with all information received
as to the practical .effect o ! such agreements.
Mr. Hnlo on Keclproclty.
Mr. Halo addressed the eenatn on the sub
ject. Ho spake at great length upon the
benefits of reciprocity , which , he said , was
an aid to protection and broadened the field
of the American laborer by opening now
markets for his products , to be paid for in ar
ticles which could never compote with his
labor. The people all understand this , and
tboy made their voices heard ana their wishes
known here and in the chamber nt the other
end of the capital , and , except m jtho demo
cratic party open opposition was withdrawn
and no further hostile note was beard. Ho did
not hesitate in stating , hero'and now , as the
result of bis observation , that that section of
the McKIniey act which contained tbo reci
procity feature was tbo part-of the measure
which had floated the whole act , and was
that part of the bill which kept It'froui ' being
swamped by the storm which , with or.with
out reason , broke upon it from the day of its
piissatro. The reclprocltytplan. was born of
distinguished republican parentage and was
adopted at last by tbo republican party.
Denounced by Democrats.
Democratic newspapers denounced It
everywhere as an Impracticable sham , and
wherever domocratio authority was hoard
from It carried with it a sneer against the
measure. The senator from New York who
had lately entered this chamber as a member
of this body and who brought to his party ,
as his credential of leadership upon the
otbor side , the trophy at a great state ,
chained and gaqgcd and despoiled of her
political rights , had paused for a moment in
bis work of spoliation to declare in the dom
ocratio state convention of Now ; York , which
assembled In Saratoga on tho' 10th of Sep
tember last , to do his will and register his
decree , In at the democratic party of the
state of New York in convention assembled
renewed the plodcro of its fidelity to dome
cratio faith and denounced in unmeasured
terms "tbo Blalne reciprocity humbug. "
These vicious attacks upon tbo measureat

The threatened trouble with Chill has
already cost the government n good deal of
money. The expenditures , however , have
boon incurred with the full knowledge nnd
approval of the sonata nnd house nuvnl com
mittees , and there will bo no question about
tholr approval. The total extraordinary expense -
ponso , It is ostlmatod , will not fall far short
of § 5,000,000. It Is to bo romoraborod , how
ever , that thisor nt least only n small portion
of this , Is not lost , ns the coal nud supplies
nnd wotk on other wnr malarial will not bo
wasted.
Mnttn Will Ho Hanquetcd ,
The statement thnt Senor Malta , who , as
minister of foreign affairs under the pro
visional government of Chill , sent the circu
lar note which caused such just offense to
this country , is now the hero of the hour
in Sanliopo , and that ho is to bo given n
complimentary banquet on Saturday , Is re
garded in naval circles horo. as well ns by
some loading men lu political life , as nn
omen of future trouble In Chill.
A prominent official of Iho Slate depart
ment said today : "President Montt nnd
Minister Pereira may write apologies until
they exhaust nil the paper and ink of Chill ,
but the only effect will bo to incite the com
mon people to another revolution with Matin
ns tholr idol nnd leader. "
Lieutenant McCrca , ono of the officers of

Baltimore's sailors by the Valparaiso crimi
nal court , said today that the passions of
tbo Chilian populace could not no curbed ,
and that they were certain to break out erelong
long In some now Indignity against American
sailors or American interests. Ho said that
the present nxollomont among the young hot
heads at Santiago nnd Valparaiso was only
part cf a gonornl sentiment among nil the
people , nnd that , In his judgment , there
would occur within the next year nn outrage
fully ns grnvo ns the assault upon the sailors

Indian Depredation Claims.
The enormous accumulation of work
thrown upon the Department of Justice and
the court of claims by the passage of the
Indian depredation not has caused both of
these bodies to appeal to congress for relief.
Up to the present tlmo GCOO actions have
boon brought against the government for
Indian depredations , the claims amounting to
$24,000,000 ; only 600 of these notions have been
brought for claims which bavo been examined ,
approved and nllowod by the secretary of
the interior. Only thirty judgments have
been rendered In cases brought baforo the
court of claims for Indian depredations. The
attorney"goneral's office finds it Impossible to
take charge of this accumulation of business
without further assistance. The entire
force In the Indian department consists of
three men and n stenographer. As General ,
Colby's department i * wondnpwlth an an
nual appropriation of only $15,000 , from which
must be paid the salarlas'bf all employes ,
traveling expenses- taking of depositions,1
dockets nnd stationery , it is manliest that
justice to claimants will bo long delayed
unless something is at once done. The
matter was taken up today in the Indian
depredation committee and Senator Pnd-
dock wns instructed hy the committee to
prepare an amendment for reference to the
committee on appropriation ; ! to provide add ! '
tlonnl assistance for the assistant attorney
genera ] for the expedition of the adjudica
tion of depredation claims. It is estimated
that it will require three special agents nnd
two Inw clerks , besides occasional assistance
from attorneys , who must be employed from
tune to time , nnd tbnt tbo amount allotted
for the prosecution of this class of work
must bo at least doubled. The court of
claims will nlso find Itself overburdened , nnd
II is proposed to Increase the judges of the
court nnd glvo It nutborlty to sit in sections.
The bouse committee un irrigation have
been holding sessions , most of which have
been devoted to the consideration of Mr.
Lnnbam's bill for irrigation. This bill pro
poses the absolute cession of publio lands to

purposes. The committee will meet again

1'rlrnd A Strungo Infatuation ,
MiiMfitts , Tonn. , Jnn. 23. Alice Mitchell
ma Llllio Johnson spent last night together
n their room nt the Jail. The father of
-itllio also remained in the ofllco of the Jail.
le is fearful that Alice will do his daughter
omo bodily harm , nnd this feared is shod by
ho most ot hli family. All efforts to Inter-
low Miss Mlleholl have failed , but this
nornlng n reporter loninod from good nu-
horlty what passed between her and her
ounsol. On other subjects she scorned to bo
perfectly rational , ana did not realize the
enormity of tbo deed. "I killed Freda bo-
auso I loved her and she refused to marry
mo. I asked hnr to marry mo three times ,
and at last she consented. Wo wore going to
marry hero and go to St. Louis. "
"What did you tnwnd to do in St. Louis ! '
asked ode of her attorneys.
"Oh , I don't ' know. But when Freda
iromlsod to marry mo I was so happy. 1
ont her nn engagement ring and she were it
n tlmo , but when It was returned to mo i was
nlsorablo. 1 could not boar to bo separated
from her and I resolved to kill her. 1 would
rather she were dead than away from me. "
The girl then nsited ono of the lawyers
vhoro Freda was. She was told that the
body was at Stolnloy & Hlnyons.
"Oh , mamma , " she said , "if I could only
< eoher. Please lot tno go to see her. If I
could only lie down by her side 1 would bo so
happy. " *
When the permission wn refused she
> roko Into n torrent of tears , not for having
tilled Freda , but for the separation. The
otters that she wrote ) to Freda are full of
ho most endearing terms nnd go to show
hat the girl eagerly looked forward to the
line when she could make Freda her wife.
Strange to say , from what can bo learned ,
Freda herself seemed to bo infatuated with
Alice and willingly assented to the proposed
narrlage.
The time had boon fixed , and the affair
vas to have boon In tbo nature of an elope-
nont. She does not feel the confinement in
ail , but regards It ns would a school girl , n
slight punishment.
On other subjects she talks rationally , as
she does on the. killing , but for the peculiar
views she entertains of the proposed mar
riage.
The grand jury will investigate the case
omorrow.
