WASIIIXOTON- C. , Jan. Sl.-fSpoclnl
'relegram to Tin : Unu. ] An oxcitlng im
petus was given to the Chilian situation by
the publication this morning of double loaded
( statements to the effect Unit the United
States steamer Phlladolphla had boon or-
dorcd to the straits of Gibraltar to Intercept
the Chilian war ship , Captain Prat , now in
course of construction at u French ship yard ,
nnd which was to bo hurried off to Chill for
its finishing touches , lost the French repub
lic bo requested to hold her ns an enemy of
the United States ; that an ultimatum had
been sent Chili which meant war ; that Chili
had demanded the withdrawal of Minister
ICgan , and that Minister Moult would bo
glvon his passports if the demand for Egan's
recall was acceded to , and that the changed
condition of affairs might result in the with
holding of the correspondence which Is
ready for transmission to congress tomorrow.
Tnoso statements nro nil made In a vein
most positive and created n decided bonsation
in some quarters , but did not nppoar to
ngltnto ofllcials , although tha presoaco at the
white house this morning for some time of
two cabinet ofilcers in consultation with the
president operated to give them credence.
\VII1 < i to Congress Tmliiy.
It Is stated upon authority tonight that the
situation has not materially changed during
the past wcok and that the Chilian matter
will all go to cougi'oss tomorrow.
The much talked of "ultimatum" which
was sent to Chili a day or two ago was a ra -
Iteration of the demand maao last October
for reparation of the wrongs committed
nqalnst our sailors in Valuaraiso. The pres
ident notified Chili last week that he would
Bond the correspondence had batweon this
and that country lo congresson Monuay nud
that slio would have time to make
any further stalomont she might have
lo make und which slio mUht want
to appear In bis document to congress ,
Then the matter would bo out of the bauds
nf the diplomatic oniccrs of the government
nnd in charge and under the direction of con
gress. Ho doslrod that Chili should have
full knowledge of the situation. In this notice
tico ho rcslatcd the domaad made for repara
tion in October. This last message Is now
loforrod to as an "ultimatum. "
SiitfRfMril KXIIU'H Jtcctill.
The other day Minister Moult stated to
Secretary Ulalne , officially , that Minister
ICgan was non persona grata , and suggested
that ho bo recalled as n moans of t > ncuring n
proper apolo etlcal message from the Chilian
government.
The reply made by the piesldent was that
It did not bccomo Chill lo object lo our dlplo
inallo representative uutil she had made
amends for her wrongs , lie said that it
would bo the nropor thing for Chill lo flwt
repair the Injury she had done and then
make her objections to Minister ICgan. Thus
far , and no farther , have there bnon stops
lukon during t'jo past week , and they do not
niter the well known status of thnaso. .
It U ofllclally denied that the United States
Philadelphia has been ordered lo proceed to
Gibraltar lo intercept the Captain Prat , al
though It Is not unlikely to bo true that such
u move Is being mado. If the Canlaln Prat
was allowed to bo completed in or taken
uway from Franco whllo our affairs with
Chill are in stutu quo , It might prove a very
unfortunate circumstance to this govern
ment.
AHlolc'H | or War.
Apologies or war should bo recommended
to congress by our government nt onco.
Later thcra was n rumor hero thr.I Chill nad
tent a conciliatory message to the State department
partmont , which amnunto'1. to a satisfactory
apology , No oftlclal confirmation had been
obtained. At the State department the
rumor of an apology was denied.
Itlsknovtli , and has been Known for several
oral weeks , that Mr. ICgan's presence at tbo
Chilian capital is a source of Irritation to Ihe
Chilians. If ho were absent , It Is said by the
Chilians , negotiations ton-aril n peaceful set
tlement ot the controversy might progress
moro rapidly and satisfactorily.
The president has practically glvon Chill n
last opportunity to yield to the demands of
the Unltod States ana give satisfaction foi
the lialtlmoro aifair without appealing to bo
forced to act. lie has Instructed Minister
1C gun to nsu the Chilian government wha
Is going to bo done , und whether i
Is proposed to do anything at all
If , in answer to Mr. Kgau's request
any expressions ot regret or promUos
of reparation are received the United States
will give n reasonable time for Iho fulllllmen
of Iho promise , and much loss will bo lakci
In satisfaction for the outrage than If this
uouutry Is put to the necessity ot rcsorUuj ,
to a show ot force to obtain justice.
M'lll irrcnmi InuiiiMllati ) Ansurr ,
Minister Kgnn Is evpocted to urg o an in
mediate answer to the inquiry , and if It is
not fortQComlnc In a few days the president
will assume that Chill will not do anything
until pressure Is brought to bear.
Secretary Tracy Is firmly convinced that
at last a show of force will bs necessary to
bring the Chilians to tornis , lie seems to
agree thut > fur with the prevailing oplnloi
among naval ofllcors that the Chilians cat
understand no arguments unless baclted u
by furce , und his present plan contemplates u
naval demonstration in the limnodiato vlcln
ity ot Valparaiso , participated in by twelv
thlps. Upou the arrival of Admiral Ghorard
at Montevideo with all those ships It will b
made with great promptness , and It Is believed
lievod that iho presence of these ships li
Chilian waters and the knowledge that tnor
are ou thulr way will have a very soborlDj ,
effect on the Chilian diplomat *
Kvery preparation U being made for thl
demonstration and for the vessels' reception
Great quantities ot coal are being purchasci

thntonoof the most important mattor.5 con
sidered at Iho Into mooting at this city of the
directors of the Dlslillora and Cnttlo Fcetl-
ors company was the releasing of the real
estate on which many of the company's dis
tilleries nro located. The company owns
olghty-flvo distilleries and Is operating only
eighteen or twenty of that number. When
thu purchase of the plants was made by the
company the land on which the distilleries
wcro located In ninny instances was leased
'
and not'purchased. The Distillers company
was plvon the pnvllocro of purchasing such
real cslnto before January 1 , 1S93. If
the purchases nro not made betoro
thnt date the real estate must bo again
Iraicd for another porioU of five years at a
revaluation. 11 Is estimated that between
$3,000,000 and $1,000,000 will bo required to
purchase Iho leaseholds of the company , and
tno question considered by the directors was
whether now securities to that amount
should bo Issued or dividends .should bo sus
pended until the purchases had been made
out of the earnings of iho company. The
matter was not definitely sotllcu nt the last
mooting , 1 it is understood that il will
como < jp for iho consideration of tha board at
the Puoria meoilng , Fcbuniry 10. There are
n number of "trust" distillers in this city ,
most of the : . , on leased land , and the owners
of the land are anxiously awaiting a settlement

WASHINGTON , 1) . C. , Jan. 21.1
To the surprise ot everybody and the dis
appointment of many , very few "Mighty"
measures have boon Introduced Into the
lower house of congress so far in this session ,
It was expected that the conglomerate mass
of politicians aiU statesmen and demagogues
in Iho house would bring about many curious
propositions in the way of legislation. These
who were cleciod upon Independent tickets
were especially expected to present many
ridiculous propositions , but so far they hnvo
been confined almost exclusively to n , few
measures looking toward the subtrcasury ,
warehouse und farm-loan schemes.
H has boon remarked on every hand that
the farmers alliance advocates have boon
very niodoit in tholr demands for legislation
up to this timo. The scheme presented from
Madison ccuuly , Indiana , by Senalor Poffor ,
pronoalng a loan of $100.000,000 upon real
cstato security in the Hoosler state , was
probably the moat glaring , wlld-oyoJ sehomo
which has como from the alliance so far. It
was expected that the Stanford 2 per coat
project would bob up in various forms , and
that there would bo many proposmons for
Ihu abolishing of national banks , nnd the ox-
cosslvo Issue of greenbacks and the creation
of Hat money , but altogether nu examination
of the thousands of bills which hnvo so far
been introduced into the two houses fails to
reveal any considerable excess of unreason
able demands ,
It Promises I.Ittln Kcllnf Now.
Considerable disappointment Is shown in
both of the old parties ever the dearth of
legitimate propositions from Iho alliance
members lo relieve Iho situation umong
farmers. It was sincerely expected nnd very
much hoped that this now blood in the legis
lative hull * would suggest some stops which
would really assist the farmers , for It must
bo admitted that the creat majority of men
in congress would gladly pass bills to help
the farmers , 1C thny could do so without tak
ing any unfair attitude toward other inter
ests. The trouble heretofore has been that
mon have remained in congress so long that
they have drifted nivny from tholr particular
affairs at homo aud Imvo been unable to sug
gest measures outside of the usual line.
The alliance and independent parties railed
greatly nt , the republicans especially during
Iho last campaign , and claimed Ihnllho parly
which lias been so long in power had ne
glected Us duties in falling to take care of
the farmers. Enough men were ulectcd on
the farmers' ticket lo inalso a wls.0 counsel
in congress , for ever forty occupy
seats in the houso' and claim lo
bo Iho special representatives of the
farmers. The men , it was believed ,
would put their heads together and present
some measures which would bo so reasonable
and just ns to command the greatest respect
from both of the old parties. There is sincere
disappointment in the absolute failure to
present , any measure which would bo consti
tutional or just , or which would In the
least degree aid the rural classes. The
trouble seems to have been that the special
rcproscntnlive * misroprosenlod Iho condition
of affairs in congress and the efforts of the
republicans in the past when they were upon
Iho hustings in the last campaign.
Very many mlsstatements were made.
Demagogical lecturers nnd agents wont
nmong the farmers arid represented thnt the
republicans had done this thing and Iho ether
thing and loft undone this and that , all in
opposition to the true interests of the farmer.
When the farming classes were misled and
elected their roprcsentallyes the loaders noi
logolhor hero and , nf lor looking Ihe Held over
carefully , practically came to the conclusion
that they hud misjudged.
Interests nt JFiiriupra Npjclpctnil.
At this lime there la nothing before either
house In tbo interest of Iho fanners which
has anv commendablefonturo In it , nnd
which hns thn least show of Hnal adoption.
Among nil tbo hills which have been pre
sented not n single ono Is practical. These
thnt hnvo faint EUggcslions of practicability
nnd justice are completely submerged in im
practicable and unjust and unconstitutional
projects , which lann iho measures out of the
line of possible adoption.
It socms to have occurred to the farmer
representatives that it would bo wlso for
them to act together and agree upon a line of
measures nnci then to submit them to export
legislators , and constitutional lawyers In tbo
two houses lor revision. If this process was
carried out there might bo some meaiuros
which would command respect and support
from both parties , for it must bo admitted
lhat any rospcctablo measure In the Inierest
of Iho farming class will pass without
material opposition In cither houso.
It is the extreme nnd ridiculous
feature of a bill that kills the
good qualities lu 11 , and it scorns that the
butchers have boon occupying the watch-
makers' scats whenever an effort has been
made to prepare legislation for tbo farmers
in any part of iho country ; for thuro Is not
the least trace of skill or intelligence as to
legislative process in any of the bills which
have boon presented by the special roure-
seutatlvos of iho farmers.
Some Wild rinunrlnl Schemes.
It has been loft to some of iho older mem
bers of the hoitso to present the most Illogical ,
if not the most ridiculous , propositions , nnd
after all , tbo alliance and Inoxparienced
members have shown greater wisdom in
not presenting auythlng , If they are not able
to present something plausible. An Ohio
member who has had great experience lu
legislation proposes to loan the surplus of
the government to national banks at the
highest rate of interest possible by advertis
ing for competitive bids. The complaint
against Unltod Slates deposits In national
banks has been upon the principle of resting
public funds in the hands of private parties ,
nnd the proposition of the Ohio member
meets with greater opposition from the antl-
uulionnl bank clement than tbo present pol
icy of the government In keeping llvo ac
counts with the national banns for the con
venience of federal officers ,
A North Carolina member would erect
monuments to all the distinguished ofliccrs
in the two armies as fust as they disappear
from the active ranks of life ; while Senator
George wants the Interstate commerce law
amended so lhat n basket of provisions mav
bo sent by freight from one section of the
country to the other at the same rales which
Iho railroad companies may ba permitted to
churco for a whole train load. Representative
Ilurter evidently believes that the old law
authorizing state banks to issue circulating
notes U in effect , for ho wants to glvo the
states authority to collect ono per cent tax ,
upon the circulating notes of banks , tbo same
as is collected by the Federal government
upon the circulation ot national bank notes ,
laimbiT on Hit' I'Vvu I.Ut ,
A favorable report is to bo made this wcok
from the house committee on ways and moans

The orders to Hoar Admiral Ghorardi , the
commandant of the north Atlantic squadron ,

upon by Iho ofllcors as anticipating the presi
dent's message to congress , nnd the probable
action upon It. The two vessels have sailed
from Barbadoos and are now ou their wnyno

may bo interpreted as meaning that they
shall continue on lo Chill.

S' , T ) . C. , Jan. 24. The courco
of proceedings In congress during the ninth
week of the session depends largely upon the
manner In which the president's mcfuago nnd
the Chilian corrojpoudonco nro received. The
probabilities , however , nro strongly against
the matter being precipitately taken up for
consideration toy olthor branch of the na
tional legislature or any discussion of
the subject Immediately on receipt
of the president's message. The
usual Informal course doubtless will
bo followed In each house of congress by ro-
forlng the message and the accompanying
correspondence to the appropriate commit
tee. Pending consideration in committee the
mcssngo and correspondence will bo printed.
After member * have thus had an opportunity
to inform themselves from the ofileiai history
of the trouble some may doilra to bo hoard
on the floor ; but tha disposition of the most
Inllnontial men in the souato ntul In the
house Is adverse to any unusual haste in the
consideration of the subject. It expected
that the promised mcssngo of the president
and all the corrospondenca relating to our
trouolo with Chill will uo sent to congress
tomorrow. Such U the intention of the ox-
ccullvo this ovonlng , and unless the cases
should suddenly assume some now phaio re
quiring an addition to the message , it will bo
laid before both houses and road In both of
them tomorrow afternoon.
lu the senate the hill reported by the joint
committee on printing , proposing an extensive -
sivo revision of the present system of print-
lug and distributing public documents , is the
special order for tomorrom. In view of the
tact thai the bill was killed In the house
during the past woclt , tbo scunto will prob
ably take up the well known Weil atut fa
A b rn claims , which were under considera
tion when the sonata last adjourned ; It IH
the purpose of the friends of these claims to
kcepihom steadily before the senate until n
vote is reached upon the bill of which thov
nro the subcct ] matter. The printing bill , it
is thought , will ba taken up laier in the
weal ; , and some time may ba devoted to
public building bills and other mcasuros uf n
local character , ana to the consideration of
presidential nominations in executive session.
The newly reported cede of rules for the
