nual reports bf many other industries show
that the production in 1891 has rarely if
fever been equaled, and the new year begins
with no prospect df decrease in any impor
tant industry. Even the wool manufacturer
appears to have used more wool last year
than in any previous year. Imports having
been the largest on record.

Sare in Using I.iitupy-Jaw Meat.
The result of a special investigation by
the doctors of the university x-cterlnary
school of Philadelphia on tho subject of
lumpy law. common to cattle, has been
made public. They find that there Is no
case ou record where the disease was trans
mitted to man fiom eating diseased meat.
The conclusion reached, therefore, is that
where the lungs, liver, and other organs are
found not affected, it is probably safe to
uss the meat, and they see no reason why
such meat should nut be sold after proper
inspection.

yesterday, as an inclosuro to which you are
willing to transmit tome the instruction sent
to Mr. Kagan on the day previous. In the
numerous conferences with which you have
been pleased to favor me I have informed you
that, .immediately niter the oeznrrence of the
Stents of Oct. 1H jii Valparaiso, which rayQovj
element mbst; sincerely deplored, tho jSaicial
Authorities invited, the inveatlgotloniifcceBsart
to throw light npcti the facts and to iletbet, and
punish the guilty parties. From the ante
cedents which the Government of i hi 11
was able to collect at the very out
set it appeared that the disorder of
October 16 began by a quarrel among drunken

was due to any dislike of the uniform of the
United States, or that the police failed to per
form their duty. On tha contrary it Is a well

desirft slid the duty bt the government of Chili
to discoverthe truth lit order to make its future
broceodings conform thereto., aud in order that
the United States Government iijjghi be
satisfied that nothing was neglected
In order to fill justice. You were pleased, with
your high senso of rectitude, to remark thit
this proceeding of tho Govenimeut of Chili was
coirect, and that, although you desired that the
judicial investigation might bo brought to a
close with as Uttlo delay as yossible y. u i nder
stood that it as necessary thut the ordinary
legal proceedings which it ere not as rapid in
Chili as in the United States) should be held. 1
have taken occasion at sundry times to inform
you ot what the Chilian authorities wefo doing
to bring the investigation to A close. In the
criminal trial held at Valparaiso, not only have
landsmen been heard; but also the seamen
df tha Baltimore; Bdth hdva been con
fronted with each other, tho feiarts
bt physicians and experts have becii
called for, the opinion of the surgeon of the
cruiser lias likewise been invoked, aud, in a
word, nothing has been neglected that could
tend to bring the whole ttuth to light. The
seamen of the Baltimore mad j their statement
with the assistance of au interpreter designat
ed by themselves who was oiheer ot the cruieer,
so that oath taken by the witnesses, their con
frontation with each other, the reports of ex
perts concerning the cause and nature ol ths
rounds, and the hoaring granted to both Chili
ans aud Americans, so that all in tab t present
their complaints and charges, and be heard In
their own justification, give Incontestable au
thority to tSa trial held at Valparaiso.
In the eon! so of our conferences, we some
times considered the case in which tho United
States and that or Chill should fail to agreo
when the investigation should be terminated,
and the two governments Ehould have formed
their final opinion, and wo agreed that arbitra
tion was the best means of settling tho difficulty,
and, advancing farther in thit conciliatory
spirit, we even formally agreed thut the
differences that might arise ehould l sub
mitted to arbitration. This agieement to ac
cept arbitration has been the basis of several of
our conferences, especially that of the 1Mb
instant, and no antecedent or act interfering
therewith has ceme to my knowledge. On tho
contrary. 1 took occasion to inform joti on tho
1st ot January that my Government authorized
me to conclude an agreement looking to arbi
tration, and my Government subsequently ap
proved the agrecin lit concluded by mo with
you, of which 1 also informed ou.
As the criminal trial initiated at Valparaiso
has not come to an end, my Govern j cut has
not yet been able to reply to tho demands of
the United States. The vaiious documents and
antecedents to which I have called your atten
tion iu my foregoing communications were de
signed to Inionn the United States Govern
ment of the vrcgresg of the jmlbial investiga
tion and of the facts thereby elicited : tlieydo
not, however, constitute a reply, which can
only be given when the facts are definitely
brought to light by tho sentence which must be
pronounced by the courts. Tho testimony
which the Government of the United fctates
has caused to bo taken iu California from
the crew of the Baltimore cannot take tbe
place of the trial which is being held at Val
paraiso, whero the offenses were committed.
The testimony may be useful for this dis
ciplinary or administrative purpose in tho
United States, but it can not serve as the basis
of a judicial sentence, either in Chili or in tho
United States. The copy which I have to-day
the honor to send you ot the statement made
by one of the seamen of the Baltimore at Val
paraiso, shows that that seaman made no
charge against the i-olico. Tho charges which
he makes here, and the absence of tho accused
parties incontradict'on of his flrst statement,
nave no value either in law or iu your en
lightened opinion.
It is to be obterved, moreover, that the state-r.-ent
inn do by this Boamnu at Valparaiso is
attested by the Judge, by the signature of the
seaman himself and by that of the interpreter,
who was on officer of the Baltimore, appointed
for the express purpose ot inspiring the depo
nents with confidents.
As to your instructions to Mr. Egon that the j
unuersigniu lias no: communicated to me
United States Government tho note that was
addressed to him by Mr. Matti on tbe 11th of
December last: The first-timo that tho honor
able Secretary of State saw lit to cull my atten
tion to the al rcscid note of Mr. Malta, I told
him that that note contained instructious ad
dressedto me by Mr. Matta, and that as I had not
been directed to communicate it officially to the
Department of Suite, there was no reason why
tho honorable Secretarv should take cognizance
of it.
I further remiudod yon that it was a doctrine
established by .the American Government, that
documents 'exchanged between tho President
and lousress, or Iwtwceii tbo Departmont of
State aud the diplomatic representative of the
United States m foreigu countries, could not
form a subj-ct of discussion for foreign govern
ments, laiwvtook the liberty to remind you
of the" illustrious ebster and the representa
tive of Austria in 1-ji. The Austrian Govern
ment rcmplaint-l a tha timV 1-ecaiiBe it con

tion, ot which ordinarily no foreign state has

Tho .circumstances of publicity does not
cnange the ciiaracter ol a. communication, in
the opinion or Mr. Webster, "because such is the
common aud usual n odo ol proceeding." In
tho comuuiniif.lit u? of the President and the
Souateit wa, therefore, o:i tbe nature of the

ever, that it was far from being the purpose of
my Government 'to act in a manner at all offen
sive to tho President of the United States or
any member of his Cabinet, and tba-i Mr.
Matta's nolo, if rightly interpreted, admitted of
no such construction. I afterward had the
lionorto inform you that I had received in

form that of the United States that a

Vossra. Buchanan and Webster in 1819 and
143), that tbo messages sent by the President to
Congress are domestic communications which
can not aerve as a b s-'s tor the interpretation
of foreign powers or their representatives, my
fiova mucnt had no objection t .striking out of
tho note of December II such words as might be
considered disagreeable by the United States
Government.

Mp. ItLAJHE TO MR. JfOKIT.
,. Dfeparfinent el State, Washington.
I have the honor to" ackflowledge roar favor
dated the 23d instant, but hot fe.eiTtfl brme
until Monday, the 25th. I beg to comment Mi
two or three or its .recitals, x minx irom zeat
for your country you have made some mistakes
which I shall proceed to correct.
Tou arc right in saying that I considered the
tirecocdijigs of the Government ot hili in mak
ing tho judicial investigation of tho unhappy
affair at Valparaiso ehllfely fiwisswwfny.
But you will remember that aS early aa tSe 29th
of November I complained of the length of the
jndicltl proceedings, and from time "to time
renewed the complaint, saying to yon very
lately that tho court had already been
eighty days in session considering a mat
ter which in tbe United States would
have been wholly disposed of in two or three
weeks. You replied that the Spanish law was
slow in Its processes but exact In its eonclu
slons; and with yodr statements I had to he
content, though impatient for a final judgment.
Yonr offer of arbitration was never anoondi'
tiOnal cud exact. Hod it been I would have in
sisted on youf reducing it to writing, for'lt
would have been my duty to lay it
before . the President for consideration.
But I wets unable to report a
mere verbal exchange 0f views between us as
an agreement to arbitrate. Y9c did say to me
eevtral times that in that distaut ftttaf when
the Chilian court should render its ju gmtrnt
(if tbe United States should not bo satisfied
with it) the two countries could arbitrate the
matter; and even then you always maintained
that Chili would not voluntarily propose arbi
tration, but would do to when requested by
sotno friendly power to take that couise.
Ou tbe occasion of tho interview you men
tioned Spain as a nation likely to interveno
with v hili most effectively. Your mention of
drliitrat'cm was always as a method to be
adopted iu the f utflfo if we werfl not content, as
I have said,with the judgment erf the court. You
remarked that to adopt it before th9 world
would be discrediting the judgment of the court
iu advance. Yon always looked, to the future
f 9r the proposal and acceptance Of arbitration.
Tod say in yemr note i "l took occasion to In
form you b'n'tne 1st tit Jaffuerytbatmy Govern
ment authorized me to conclude An ogrwineit
looking .to arbitration, and friy Government
subsequently approved tho agreement con
cluded by me."
And yet you do not pretend that a word was
ever writton of the agreement which you soy
was between us. It is impossible that 1 ever
sought to bind the government of the United
States in that way. It would have been in the
highest degree imprudent for me to do so. In
regard to the Matta note, which was the subject
of contention between us, you sum it up by tbe
following declaration i
"I addod, however, that it was far from being
the purpose of my government to act In a man
ner At all offensive to the President of the
United States or to any member of his Cabinet,
and that Mr. Matta's note, If rightly inter
preted, admitted of no such construction. I
afterward had the honor to inform ?oa that
I had received instructions from ny govern
ment to inform that of tbe United States
that, considering the views expressed by
Messrs. liuchanau and Webster In 184' and
18V1, that the messages sent by the Preeident to
Congress are domestic communications, which
cannot serve as a basis for tho Interpretation
Of foreign powers or their representatives, my
Government had no objection in striking out of
the note of Deo. II such words as might bo con
sidered disagreeable by the United States Gov
ernment.''' By your dwn. Statement you evidently at
tempted to justify the Matta fiotc. Icertainlv
could not accept your language, anil hover did
accept language of that kind as an apdiogy suf
flcent for the case. Tho Matta note was highly
discourteous to the President and Secretary of
the Navy, imputing to. them untruths and insin
cerity. Such language does not admit of condi
tional or contingent apology which you offered.
It could be apologized for only by a frank
withdrawal. Yon always contended that
it was a communication between officers of yoar
own Government and that it was not proper for
this Government to take any cognizance of It.
You quoted the well-known doctrine of the Hul
setnann case In regard to the message of a Pres
dent to Congress Hot being subject to criti
cism in a foreign country. You did not
see tbe great difference Involved by the
act of your Government iu sending tbe Matta
circular to all the legations of Chill and re
questing ita several Ministers to publish it, so
that Chili was not only responsible for the dls
courteons language, but for Jts publication
throughout the civilized wo-ld. That rou did
not comply with Chili's request to publish it
tnere was the strongest proof of your
own dhapproval of the n.te. In re
gard to Mr. Egan, you complained many
times and very bitterly to me. Es
tiecially whs he deserving of censure, you
thought, for not communicating to his Govern
ment tbe brutal murder of some young men
who were slain by order of Balmaceda, when
the next day I showed you the dispatch of Mr.
Egan, spoaking of the Incident in proper terms.
You acknowledge that you were mistaken, and
thought j ou would be satisfied, but yon again
spoke disparagingly of Egan, and I said. Some
what vehemently:
"Why do you not demand his recall instead of
constantly disparaging him," Intending thereby
not to favor bis recall but to put a stop to the
frequent mention of Mr. Egan's name.
In referring to the question you remark:
"You were pleased to acknowledge that the Gov
ernment of Chili hod a right to ask that a change
should be made." Undoubtedly! she has that
right, provided she assigns a reason. You ore
too well skilled in diplomatic ueae to be re
minded that when a nation Is forced to declare
that a Minister is a persona non grata she is
e ected to assign a reason therefor. Wo have
twice had occasion to ask Great Britain to re
call her Ministers, and in each case wo have
given the reason why the Minister had ceased
to be useful. It is hardly necessary to observe
that conditions which we complied with our
Eclves would likewise bo exacted of Chili.
1 have thus frankly endeavored to correct
some misapprehensions of yours in order that
tho record of the State Department of the
United States shall be kept exact, and in all its
proceedings shall be proved consistent.
Accept, sir. the renewed assurances of my
Iiigheet consideration.

of typhoid fever perished in from two

and the'cholera bacillus in from three
