NEW YottK. .Inn. 18. A Wnshlngton dis
patch to the World says : Senor Montt has
within the past week received several confi
dential messages from the president of Chill ,
In which the political complications that
\\ylo \ \ nuson stnco the inauguration of the
rfovi government huvo been sot forth nt some
length , and the mlnlstor w.ts urged to use
every legitimate means to induce thu United
States to withhold the ultimatum which
President Harrison Is snld to have been pre
paring.
SIICITKH ( ! ii\it Thrill ( 'onlldrncr.
President Montt's government was elected
lo sunorscdo the Junta. The rule of the pro
visional government , though lacking In
many qualities of statesmanship , was never
theless immensely popular. The congres
sional party bad , withdrawn from the capital
of tbo nation , and with nothing but such re
sources as the nitrate beds In northern Chill
afforded , had conducted a successful military
nnd naval campaign , which ended In the
complete rout of the JJalmucodisls. Klatod
by their success , the congrcssloinlists felt
that Chili was able to cope with almost any
enemy Mm might encounter. Honor > Matta ,
until lately minister of foreign affairs , penned
/ the bellicose reply to President Hnrrl-
non'.s diplomatic note asking rconratlon for
' the assault upon tbo suitor * of the Baltimore.
/ This was the llrst of < i series of ill considered
I nets which bavo brought about the present
\ atrainnd relations taotwean the two povorn-
) incuts. Its tone was applauded In Chill and
the popularity of thu Junta was augmented
[ by the very Indiscrent act of Its hot-headed
foreign minister.
' Senor Piirelra , who nuccbeucd Senor
' Malta , Is much more cor.sorvutlva and
is In hearty sympathy with President Montt
' In hip doslro to bring about a peaceful
termination of the controversy. He Is hnm-
, tiered , However , by u knowledge that his
i predecessor had the support of the Cbillnn
( pcoplo lii his aggressive course , nnd the fenr
that any net repudiating Senor Matin's per
! formances will bo a signal for u general de
monstration of disapproval that might result
In the breaking up of the now cabinet , if not
a revolution.

A significant fact was learned today.
Shortly lifter Ihu Baltimore arrived nt the
navy ynrd each gun was provided with sixty
rounds of ammunition. This has been In
creased to 100. Workmen are on board and
her machinery Is rapidly receiving n thor
ough overhauling. Her main battery

WASIIISOTOX , D. C. , Jan. IS. The World's
fair question wa : tba first subject to receive
the attention of the house today , nnd already
Indications point to this matter ns n fruitful
sonrco of dubato and controversy in the com-
Inir sos&lon.
Immediately after the rendtnc of the
Journal Mr. Hollly of Pennsylvania presented
n resolution requesting the secretary of the
treasury lo Inform the house of roprcsonta-
lives what amount ot money has beou appro-
printed nnd Is available under the act of
October 2r > , IS'JD ' , relating to tno World's '
Columbian exposition at Chicago , and about
whfttaniount of the money appropriated has
boon already expended. The resolution
called for nn itemized statement , showing to
whom such money had been paid and for
what purpose and upon what account , "I
ask , " snld Mr. Heilly , "for unanimous con
sent for thu Immediate consideration of this
resolution. "
There was silence for a. moment and many
cxiiectod thnt some enthusiastic friend of the
World's fair would object to the adoption of
sucn a resolution without a fuller oxnlana-
lion of its object. But no such objection was
made , and to those few members who turned
Imiulrincly to Mr. Uurborow , the chairman
of the World's fair committee , ho returned
an affirmative nod. A moment later and the
resolution as adopted by acclamation.
HU Action Not Unfriendly ,
"Mv object In Introducing that resolution , "
said Mr. Heilly to ai < Associated Prss ro-
porler , "is simply lo get the construction
whicn tbo Treasury department places unon
the act of the last congnm relating to the
World's fair. Thnt act makes certain speci
fications for certain purposes , and also con
tains a provision that under no circumstances
shall the United States govorntnont bo liable
foe a greater sum than $1,500,000. Now It
bus been generally claimed , that the tl.S'JO-
000 hns been nlroady nppropriuted , nnd we
wnnt to understand whether the treasury
department so construes the act. I , myself ,
hold that tbo act did not appropriate the
$1,500,000 , but merely fixed it ns the amount
to bo appropriated. My action is not an un
friendly one , but It is simply intended to de-
Hno the status of tbn World's fnlr. "
i'Alr. Ueilly's ' resolution is vorv satisfac
tory to me , " said Chairman Ourborow , "and
was accepted by the World's ' fair commit tee
as a very proper means of settling all dis
putes and ascertaining whnther the govern
ment has already appropriated the $1,500,000
or merely mentioned It in the act as the
maximum liability of tbo government. "

Mr. Springer of Illinois nsked for consent

was little or no pretense on the part of moro
than two or three senators of feeling any
interest in tbo matter. '
Mr. Vest said all the personal interest bo
had in the case crew out of the fact that iu
the state of Missouri there wore many
widows and orphans whoso entire estate con
sisted of their rights under the Ln Abra
award. Ihoy had boon guilty of no perjury
or subornation perjury. ' Slxtoep years hud
elapsed slnco the trial. Five years had been
given to Mexico to bring in all its evidence ,
and it was not fair , just or right ( when

rights of American citizens.

Senator Cnroy reported today from the
commlltoo on public buildings nnd grounds
of thu senate with fuvorablo recommenda
tion Ihu Omiha public building and also nil
of those providing buildings lor cities lu
Wyoming nnd Utah. Senator Carey says
those measures will very shortly pass the
senate nnd if there Is not u Dlookado will gut
through the house. Thu four is Ibat quite n
number of Ihoso bills will pile up In the
tKiisonnd the "qcononilsal" democrats will
become scared nnd refuse to pass nny of
them.
At n meetlm ? of the senate committee on
public lands today a subcommittee composed
of Senators t'nddocic , Sanders nndVnlthull
wnsnppolnled lo lake under reconsideration
the suojoct of a measure to protect the timber
upon lands bclo-itting to the irovornment and
losorved by proclamation of the president.
The subcommiUco will report a bill to iho
full committee.
Tor the r.nlliteil Men.
By order of the War department , the post
traders nt Fort Honinson nnd Nlobrura ,
Nob. , will bo deprived of their commissions
on April 1 , ISfli , and required to close up
their places of business. This Is in accord
ance with the policy ot General Kolton ,
ndjutant general , to transfer to the army any
profits which may have resulted fiom the
privilege of trading on government reserva
tions and to distribute the money thus obtained -
tainod ninone Ihe troops for the benefit of
the enlisted men. The establishment of thn
arniy'cautoon Wns the lir t stop in this direc
tion. It took from the Inidcr his most profit
able line of business , which wns the
selling of beer and light wines to
soldiers and of liquors to officers.
By the establishment of cnnteons the
liquor traffic on Iho military reservations
was transfenod dltectly to the control of
commissioned officers of the army who were
detailed to supervise all and to see tnat tbu
returns were properly apportioned among
the various troops and companies at the va
rious garrisons.
The change bus worked well under the
regulations adopted , permitting credit to
soldiers up to thu amount of their monthly
pay. The sale * of the canteens have groally
exceeded those of the old post traders , while
as the .business Is transacted in government
buildings and under officers already drawing
pay from the government , .tho expenses uro
very light and the profits correspondingly
larger.I .
I Merchandise Ilu Added.
The War department has iheruforo decided
to oxlond Iho canteen system so thut besides
furnishing soldiers with liquors and ciirars
the canteen shall nlso carry quite a full line
of general inernhamliso at moderate prices ,
out upon which the profits will bo reasonably
large. All post traders who are not ubso-
; lutqly needed by garrisons fur distant from
towns nro to bo relieved and their places
filled by well equipped canteens which will
' bo conducted by regular army olllcer , re
lieved from all other duty except the careful
supervision of canteen business. Reports
filed In the adjutant general's office shows
thut tbo operation of the canteen has been
almost n uniform success nnd thnt many
ihoiisivmls of dollars have been turned out by
Ihem for tbo benefit of tin ) enlisted nun.
.Must I'reservo the Timber.
Sonntoi' Carey of Wyoming , a mumbor of
the committee on public lands , who Is inter
esting himself in Iho subject , said to Tin :
BtH correspondent this afternoon : 'Tho
government must preserve the timber upon
Its resurvutlons nnd congress must tnko 1m-
mediate steps In thnt direction or there is no
use setting aside timber or other reserva-
lions. I think this subject will bo compre
hensively treated In n bill very soou nnd
that It will go through both houses without
dejny us there is apparently no division ol
sen llment.

Nuw YOIIK , Jan. 18.Tho Missouri Pacific
directors at n , special meeting today passed u
resolution In which after dwelling upon thu
Importance of maintaining rates , n special
meeting of the Western Passenger associa
tion Is requested to bo calloil and the reso
lutions were presented to Chairman Miller.
It In definitely known that the request will
bo compiled with and thnt a 'meeting will
accordingly bo called. Missouri officials say
thut there was no bitterness expressed
at the meeting , but it was apparent that
In view of thn Importance of maintaining
rates , suoody action should be taken on
charges mnde nguinst officials of the Bur
lington , Atcbison nnd Southern Pacific roads.
Action on those charges were deferred nt
presidents' meeting last wrek until thu
April mooting. This mooting is to bo hold In
Chicago and as there Is llttlo hope of n
quorum nt thnt tlmo nnd plaro the matter
would have to go over until the October
ninetlng in Now York. Meanwhile the
charges wonld remain undecided nnd harm
would cortulnly result. Thu special nicotine
will bo held In Nuw York nnd the accused
olllelali will bo notified to appear nnd answer
the churgos mudc ugnlnst them.
Mr. Jay Gould this morning , through n
Wull streut paper , made thnso remarks about
the Western Traffic association episode : " 1
have taken no action yet nnd If any .shall no
tn' ' cn , it must bo bv the board ot directors.
Nothing will bo done hastily. The Western
Traffic association has accomplished much
good In having strengthened general confi
dence in the stability of rates , and the Mis
souri Pacific will do nothing uncalled for to
Impair the association's usefulness. Wo hue
to live , and it is for the best. Interests
of the properties , I assist in niaiiagine
to live in peace with our neigh
bors. If the directors ahduld take
up the mutter of the ndvisory bourn's recent
decision , they will strive to roach a conclu
sion if pojblbly , nnd will pornotuutc har
mony. Of coarse we do not want the har
mony to be too great u sacrifice on our part ,
but wu nro willing to bo pntlontand to forego
something for the general good. "
When asked if this wns not n difference
between the Leeds case and the one recently
postponed to the Annl mooting by the nd
visory oonrd , Mr. ( Jould replied. "Oh , ves ;
there was some difference. Mr. Leeds made
n rate on sugar , did not get the sugar to
haul , was condemned by the advisory board
and discharged bv mo. The recently accused
officials made a rataon sng-u * , got it to haul ,
were not condemned by thu advisory board ,
nor discharged by their ronils.
"In the whrrc Leeds
meeting was con
demned I remember particularly how earnest
and forceful thu llnrllnirton's representative
Svasi 'I would line to sot1 , ' ho said , 'ii Bur
lington traffic manager brought here in n
cnsn of thl kind. His head would comu oil
or I would roslgu from the rond.1 I have not
heard of nny otllclals heads coming off or of
any resignations being1 handed In among our
