'JO. fSpeolnl TeloRrnm to THE UKK.J Clilll wants tlmu to mnko a proposition. It wants to put tbo vvholo controversy ou u now busts. This U tbo news which comes from Minister HRim in Santiago tonight and confirms hla advices of Inst evening. When ttio proposition is nmilo It may bo ntorprntcd by the United States i\s warlike or It mny bo accepted as u peace offorlnir , but It nt least asks the opportunity to inako It. Minister Kgan has bocu uollfloa that Instructions will bo sent to Min ister Montt for n changa of negotia tions. Mr. Kgan evidently thinks that time should ho given for a now proposi tion to DO formulated , so the president's moisngo mill the correspondence will not go to congress tomorrow. It may bo Friday or Monday , but the Chilians will have the op portunity fpr their latest expression to bo put before congress nt the same tltno. What Chill Hits lo .Say. Up to this ovonlnc Minister Montt had not received his Instructions , but ho Is looking for them every day. vVlmt Chill has to say will bo Iu the nature of an ultumatum from it , not In tliu offoiifJVo , but In the way of n reply to the Unltei States povornmcnt. It will fully dcllno Us position on all the points In controversy , iloclaro how for It Is ready ( o go In the direction of an apology for the Malta letter as well ns making reparation /.or tlio Baltimore outrage. If its propositions are satisfactory to tno United States , and the belief 11 they will not ho , llion it will bo qlthor war or arbitration. But Chill nas at Toast cot to the point where , In answer to Minlb'Ur J'jRan's ' peremptory instructions , It declares Itself ready to mane a categorical reply. Discussing the Situation. it remains to bo seen whether the repre sentation made to the minister in Santiago will "bo carried out or whether the Montt government will nt the last moment fail to coma to timo. The recent developments Were discussed this afternoon ut the whlto house by President Harrison and Secretaries Blame , Tracy and Elltlns. Ex-Minlstcr John \V. Foster also bad n previous Inter view with the president on some questions of diplomatic precedents bearing on ttio situ ation. The conference between the president and his secretaries lasted till evening. Not Materially ( jhaiiKOil. Tboro seemed to DO but llttlo Idea that the developments from Chill would causa any chnngo in the attltudti of the United States because the reparation proposed , as outlined by the somewhat meager uows from Minister Egan , did not moot the case though It was of sunJcIcnt importance to justify the president iu tailing a llttlo moro time to write his mas sage. Practically hq iituntion was. declared to bo not materially changed since the presi dent dNcussod if , in his annual message. It was therefore clear that everything hearing on tbo subject would ito to congress as prom ised , with something In the line of a recom mendation from the president , and with pos sibly a hint that a resolution from the legis lative body might bo desirable to show that the executive and legislative branches of the government were In accord In upholding American rights. Not Illilleatlw ! of I'eace. There was plainly llttlo expectation on the part of the president nnd his advl ° era that ! congress could bo Informed that all tno questions In dispute were hi process of sutls- factory sattlamont and that the ordinary channels of diplomacy were still sullicient to meet the omorgoiu-y. Peaeelul liulleatlolis. Whllo the cabinet as a body did not assemble - ble for deliberation today tlio joint presence of Secretaries Ulaino , Elltlus nnd Tracy at the whlto house this afternoon bore a strong resemblance to a meeting of the cabinet. They remained In conference with the presi dent for a long time , and Oonor.il .1. W. Fos ter was called lu for consultation. Tha dis cussion related generally to the Chilian affair , but the question under consideration was the character ot the president's message to congress. Souor Montt , the Chilian minister , was at the State department today ana had a short. . Interview with Assistant 'secretary Aaeo , but , U Is understood , ho had nothing Im portant to communicate. Secretary Truoy received n cable message from Commander Evans today saying that the Yorktown , with the refugees nn board , would sail from Valparaiso tor.lght for Callao. This Is regarded at the Navy de partment as an Indication that affairs nro quiet in Otilll ut present. Whllo Commander Evans was givou full discretion , it is tnltoii for granted that ho would not leave Valpar aiso If there was any necessity for his presence - once there , ox cant In pursuance of orders direct from the Navy department. At thu meeting of the senate committee on foreign relations today there wns no mention made of anything relating to Chilian affairs. , K Arntr.mNt : > ii : > .

[ By Mexican Cublo to tha Now Vorlt Herald-Special to Tun BKK.-Tho | Herald can state positively that President Montt yesterday tolu an ofllcial high in the Chilian service that there was not the slight est doubt but what ull matters at present In dispute between ttio United States and Chill would tie amicably settled within a short time. It is a ( tollbornto Ho that the YorUtown was llred on , Tha faets that were seized upon to circu late the canard were as follows : The Chilian torpedo boats were practicing In Valparaiso bar without torpedoes , only spurs being mod. Ono of the boats chanced to got near tbo Yorktown nud when a'Jout thirty motors away slewed around. That was absolutely all the foundation there was to the roport. Commander Evans , happening to bo nshnro Bhortly nttor this tonic plnco , talked a good deal about It to our oftlclals lion- , and notably to Consul McUrcory unil Ltoutonunt Hurloiv I have Just hait an Interview with the cap tain of the Chilian torpedo launch Sarjonto Aide. He states that all the tornodo boats lu question were ordered to practice In the bay without torpedoes. Ills launch , while so encased , happened to pass the Yorktown , circling , Ho Indignantly donlivs that his aa- tjon was hi any way Insulting u1 intended as a provocation to tbo American ship. Other Chilian ( jfllcor * are similarly Hi a loss to understand why such n maneuver should bavo beoa doomed provocative of 111 fooling. The Chilian ships KiaioraUlu , Huascaruml CocUrauo , and two torpedo bonU have Bailed on * practice crulso. They will go tint to Qulnteros bay and then to Talcahuano. The Bhlps are under unmncd. Ou their southerly cvulte they will eudoavor to obtain rocrults. None Wants to I'lRht. The sentiment of all classes of the Chilian people , 9 fur 0.1 1 can discover , H In faVdr of amlcablo relations with the United States. Ttioy arrf anxious to avoid war. Despite stntumcnu.to the contrary , , the poopln ono and nil bellovo thnt the matters In dUputo between the two countries can bo sotllod In accordance with the terms and conditions suggested In the Herald. It must bo considered that whllo the Baltimore case has dragged slowly along the procedure is nnly.ln accord with llio cus toms of Spanish countries. In addition to thK the permanent government which re placed the junta , now out of oxlstoncc , has only bron established slnco January 1 , 1S92. Then again , Senor Malta's conduct In send ing his aggravating circular has toboroinom- bored as bringing about complications lu the now cabinet , which cvrn noW Is not by tiny menus working harmoniously. Before war can bo declared with any show of justlcu , sumo dollnlto demand1 , must bo inndo by the United States , and I am glvon to understand through Chilian onlclal sources hero that nothing of the I ; 1ml has yet bean made by ttio American government.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special toTHE , BPB. | The strlko of the Urbalno cab drivers , which has been going on slnco January 1 , has tukon an odd turn. Eighteen hundred Johns have stopped work iu consequence of the exactions of the com pany , which rcquirei thorn to turn iu 211 francs every night for the hire of its * cabs.

J3liQ , ) ) franca a day by'th'o strike. It seems impossible for ttio company to accept the offer of the drivers to pay 15 francs n , day for tbo cabs , ns the th-at cost of the vehicles and horses Is 17 francs. The strikers nro enabled to continue their Tight by meaus of subsidies received from the Jehus in the employ of tbo rival companies. Each of these drivers contributes 1 frano n day to the fund nn easy matter , as the earn ings of tha nonurbalno men are much In creased by the strike. The Paris municipal has voted a sum of 10,000 for tbo strikers , who have now MJ.OOO francs at their disposal. Tbo fight may bo a long ono , though ills u r.iso of sous against francs.

Antipodes is the point on the Other side of the world reached by n straight line passing through the place on which wo stand and the con tor of the earth. Our Antipodes is in the ocean southwest of Australia. Don't forgot that oriental mimes end ing in "nn1 * have the accent almost inva riably on the last syllable , as Teheran , Beloochistan.

A young man made "some slighting remark about her now bonnet or hutmnv \Vorlh garment , and Louise promptly Knocked the insnltor down" . The crowd , which contained nianv women , shouted and formed a ring.

The Imttlo was , like the fetnalo pugilist , abort and decisive. Two or three well directed right-handers laid the young man low , bleeding from several wounds on his face. When the poor chap recovered sulllclontly ho crawliul away. A titter reached Louise's nar. It came from some one just behind hor. She whirled around and caught another youth in the net , of guytt-.g hor.

This hardly Hiitls- lled the muscular young ladyjs thirst for bright rod gore. A third victim suc- cnmhcd to lior insatiate fury. The po lice made no interference and Louise smilingly picked up her hat and scat tered pieces Of clothing and walked proudly awtiy. This'is by no moans Miss Fort-ell's llrst battle. She hud a row with a man on the street a few weeks ago and se verely pounded him.

A TUAMV PRINTER'S RECORD. lltperlelice or u ( llolie Trottur illlil Ills I.It * tie Itnle. In tlio ranka of the tram ] ) printer no more adventurous caroo * appears than that of globe Iroltor Kobor M. Smytho , xaysthe Washington Post. A young man yet , under li" > years , ho has prob ably stuck type under moro Hags than the oldest veteran who worked with Horace Cirooluy and followed the .star of empire to the ( ioldon ( into and baok < i do/on journoyH. t'p to the'ago of 10 Smytho wustrap ping prairie dogs and killing grasshop pers on a KaiiBiiH farm. Then he tmckod his grip for Mound City and picked up the sirl jn-oHorvutlve In a few months , The Yankee curiosity to sco thu world infected his blood , antl ho struck south ward for Mexico. Hvery city In the erstwhile empire of Maximilian had a ensa ready for the young adventurer , and ho not'up last week's telegraph on the siuggisli Mex ican dallies until the plating of novelty had worn away , California was llio next stand , nnd ho reached the coast by slow .stages , learning tbo map of the southwest through personal explora tion. tion.When When San Kraiioisco became monoto nous young Smytho drew on his bank account and boarded a sailinc ; vcbsol for the Sundwicli islands. There ho took advantage of genial I\t.ng Kula kaua'H well known partiality'for Amer icans and struck the old gontljnuin suc cessfully for a place in the royal print ing olllce. In the language ol the Sundwlchors , there is no wand for weather , since the totnporaturo rarely varies more than -0 degrees. The enterprising merchant who hangs out a dilToront thickness of undercloth ing for every sign of the zodiac is r.ot rated in the Sandwich Brad street After Smytho tired of hobnobbing with dark royalty ho found a passage to llio Sa- inoun islands , whore the monolotn of typesetting was relieved by the Interna tional row then In full swing. Now Zea land was the nott stopping pluco , and from there it was a short jump to Aus tralia. Smytho stopped for eighteen months in the live colonies and followed his trade in Sydney , Melbourne , Ade laide and smaller towns. Wayfaroi-H from the United States are received with open arms .in the island continent. Kven the priviloRo of franchise in colonial elections is ex tended to them without the intervention of natural i/.at ion red tape. The tramp printer had opportunities to cast an Australian ballot on its native heathbut refrained , partly because ho was nol in- totcsted in the politics- and partly because - cause he was afraid it might impair his standing as an American citizen. After Australia came India , known to fume in this year as the home of liud yard Kipling , who pushed a reporter's pencil on one of the Kuglish papers and whoso copy Smytho put in type. Several lingiish newspapers gave a place to the Kansas pilgrim , but Smytho found the Britons too cold blooded and haughty to thaw into geniality oven under tropical suns , and so tie packed the white linen which constitutes an oriental wardrobe and decamped from Madras into Ceylon. That spicy island paid duo homage to Yankee enterprise , and ottered a foronmnship In its govern ment printing establishment , entailing a monthly revenue of a high bounding number of rupees which would come to about eighty American dollars. Along with this was a house and two native servants. But young $ mythu wns beginning lo roach out in his mind for civilization n&rain , so ho booked him self on an Hiurlish steamer for Gibraltar and voyaged up through the Suez canal , which ho described us a big ditch like any arlilicial waterway , only wider and dirtier than the general run. After u few monlhs in Palealino and Arabia ho again sot sail. At the other end of the Mediterranean the Rock of Gibniltar offered attractions too great to bo passed , so ho stopped over to in spect the garrison and take a run into Spain. A sailing vessel picked him up and dropped anchor finally up the Thames at London. After a few months in the ollicos of the provincial papers Smytho embarked on , his llnal voyugo with Npw York lii view. On two or three metropolitan pupors ho handled the typos , and then came lo his present stopping plueo in the capital , which suits him so well that bo entertains - tains no ambition for futuL-o travol. ' I was a great reader in mv younger days , " said Smythe , "and made up inj mind to see the world and thftn soltlo down to businos. " Then ho quoted Stevenson's saying that "books are good enough In their waybut a mighty blood less substitute for life. " And 1m has cer tainly scon a little of the latter. A "Pri'leii-ml" Creditor.
