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.

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.
Highly Colored Ill-port * .
As I Uavo cabled you , these warlike reports
arc , In my opinion , sentotit from this country
by persons who seem nnxlous to bring nbout
serious trouble between Chill and the United
States. Those dispatches are Invariably col
ored highly and hi many instances nro sent
with tlio conhlvanco Of these who wish to
pro II r , on oxchanco.
As I announced she wdtilU , the YorUtown

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 ,

that the stability of the government shall

acts committed against the church during

is the duty of Catholics to como to terms so

accept the existing constitution , nnd to defend -
fond their threatened religion * faith.

It bus transnlrod that the palm lias boon c.iv-

avenue and her friend Miss , Colo. The award
was unconditionally made to these fair ladies
'
a few nights since , when a number of ladies ,
Including Mrs. John Mackay , Mrs. Paul
Baron Watson and Miss Algur , sat in appre
ciative judgment upon the artistic dancing of
the hostess anil her assistant nymph.
Mrs. Haserick's triumpb was'an

suy these who know , the" best profosslonuls ,
while Miss AIdrlch'3 function so plquantly

Now that tbo' ' secret Is out Boston prays

Don't call the Chinese "Mongolians. "
It is better to reserve tha Inttet- name

Don't speak of a native of China as a

Don't , oloaso don't , say that Now York

Such a misuse of the verb "to locate" is

Don't call Bermuda "a North Ainori-

Miss Loniso I'orrell Is the latest tu-
qutfltldii In thu pugilistic line that
Mnconib , III. , can boast of. Her latest
encounter was In the juwtolllco ouo evenIng -
Ing recently. Tlio lobby wiw jammed
full , as usual , nnd Louise , followed by
an escort of jeering small boys , pushed
her way Into the crowd. 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. 'I'ho ' women woio
not at all averse to witnessing a llstiu
engagement between ono of their sisturs
and a iiiumbor of the stronger HOX , nnd
they proiied eagerly ftirwnrd tt ) got in a
butler position. 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.
A good si/.ed list , followed by the girl's
strong arm , Unshod through the air and
another member b [ the masculine gen
der foil to the floor. 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. L-ist week at the
Williams house , whore she is employed
as dishwasher , aho became angered at
romaiks a conplo of sister omulovos
made , and she threw them both out of
the window. The girls swore out war
rants , and Louise was arrested and lined
about $ " ) ( ) . Then she lias had several
minor "gcraps" ' that have made her a
perfect bugaboo among the female pop
ulation of the city. Many ladles who
fear that she lias some jioouliar
grievance against them will walk
half a mile to avoid passing her on the
street. The police tire either torron/.cd
by the girl's ferocious notions or have
given her up as a hopeless case ono beyond -
yond all power of reform for they
scarcely ever molest hor.
Meanwhile Louise grows hnppior and
bolder every day. ho. is not at all old ,
having soon tlio light of but sixteen
Hummurs , but she has the appuaraiu'e of
being ten years older. She is about live
foot in height , heavily built and weighs
J50 pounds. She has muscles like a
wood chopper's and is prepared to moot
any female pugilist , her weight , in tlio
country.

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

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
