D. C. . Jan. C0.-Tho Chilian
situation is the absorbing question of the
huurand until Iho public mind is nllnycd ns
to the probabilities of war , it Is hardly
likely that the people's roproscntativos will
settle down to the moro sedate consideration
of routine legislation. In the house today
tlio fovcrlslumxloty for Iho latest Informa-
t'.cn was early manifested In the resolution
( tt Mr. Brccklnrldgo of Kentucky , calling
upon the president for all additional dls-
jutclies not contained In his communication
Cif yesterday ; nnd whllo that resolution was
finally referred to tbo committee on foreign
nffair.s , it was only dona after the assurance.
of the members of that commltteo that the
resolution would bo reported back without
Uolay In case Us adoption scorned necessary
to secure all information at hand on the sub
ject.
AnxIniiHly llcxlrlng Light.
There was manifested throughout the entire -
tire discussion of this question In the house
today nn almost beseeching doslro on the
part of the members of the foreign affairs
commltteo to retain within Its Jurisdiction
control of the Chilian situation nnd cxereiso
In an untrammeled manner all the preroga
tives of that committoo. On the other hand
there was quite as plainly manifested the do
slro of the house In goncr.il to know all that
diplomacy knows in the hour of the nation's
crisis ; ard whllo the foreign affairs committee -
too dually received the custody of the resolu
tion the dubato sufficed to glvo stern warning
of Iho intention of the house to guard Jeal
ously all Its prerogatives and bo the supreme
tribunal In the final consideration of tha
ca us belli. Precedence rules and legislative
formula got but llttlo reverence from the
members of the house regarding the situa
tion , ns it was deomcu ono of too great grav
ity to warrant the wasting of a minute's time
In dotorontial courtesy to the committee on
foreign affairs.
AVunted All thn Corre-qinnih-nrr.
Mr. Brccklnridgo of Kentucky asked for
the immediate consideration of a resolu
tion , requesting the president to inform
the house whothur any answer had
bon received , either from Minister
Egan or from the government of Chill ,
to the dispatch sent bv the government of
the United Statts to Chili January 21 ,
and If so fiotn whom such answer had been
received and nt what tlmo nnd that ho
communicate to the house all correspondence
p.bouttho Chilian matter not sent to congress
With the messairo heretofore sent In.
Mr. Herbert was recognized for llvo min
utes In opposition to tbo adoption of Mr.
Breckinrldge's resolution. "We nro in the
midst of a very grave crisis , " said ho. "No
ono ran say with absolute certainty that thu
situation is less grave today than it was
"
yesterday. No ono can say" with absolute
certainty that the dispatch wlilcb appeared
this iroijnlng ns an Associated Press dis
patch from Santiago is trno. There are cir
cumstances connected with that dispacli , or
ut least there are features on the face of it
which , In my opinion , render it very doubt
ful whether the despatch is truo. Suppose
that the dispatch is untrue , and that
wo pass now the resolution of the
gentleman from Kentucky , what will be Its
meaning ! I do not say that the gentleman
himself Intends to cast any such imputation ,
but in my opinion the country will look at a
resolution lilco that as imputing to the chief
executive , in a matter of such gro.it concern
os his message of yesterday , bad faith to the
.country nnd bud faith to this houso. Are we
randy now to do that ? An attempt to press
' this resolution 10 nn immediate consideration
also carries with it some Imputation upon the
committee on foreign affairs , to which this
whole matter has boon properly referred. Js
k not that commltteo competent to consider
| ' / ' this whole question ) I think wo can trust
that commltteo , nnd think , too , If there bo
anything in this resolution tl-ut it will keeper
/or n few days. At n tluin when the Issues
jf peace or war nro trembling In the ualanco
let us bo deliberate. Lot us not now engage
In n discussion in which there will bo on the
part of t'ortain gentlemen nn attack upon Iho
president and , upon the part of others , n
defense of the chief executive. Is this u
tuna for the house to oarage In a discussion
on that line ? Has the gentleman from Ken
tucky or anybody else any reasons to alvo
why a ulscusslon of this kind , if proper at
any time , ought to bo precipitated now ? I
trust tbo house will not do It , but , will lot It go
to tbo commltteo on foreign affairs , which
must , under tha rules , make a report within
fifteen days. "
Ollleeted to by .MeCrear } ' .
"Mr. Speaker , " said Mr. Croarv of Ken
tucky , A member of the foreign affairs com
mittee , "this house is confronted now with
a grave and important question. Tno quoi-
tlon w'is of sufficient importunco for the
president to send to thin housj yesterday a
message accompanied with documents and
, * diplomatic correspondence. Tills morning
the committee on foreign affairs had n meet
ing , Therefore I have n rluht to nsputno
that all proper dispatch has been mado. I
rcspcot my friend from Kontuo'ty , who has
offered this resolutionbut 1 see no reason now
for unreasonable hnsto In thn management of
a question HO Important ns thn. If this reso
lution is referred to the committee on foreign
affairs I have reason to bollovo that
U will receive Imnlodluto and prompt consid
eration. Wo have not. in the last few wcoits
been active In tha house , according to what
Vvo see in the newspapers , but wo have
Availed , sir , until the executive sent to this
house u statement of the situation In Chili
accompanied by correspondence. Is there any
reason why tills house should undertake ,
when there is. a committed on foreign affairs
appointed to look into thcso matters , to take
charge of this matter and call for thu addi
tional correspondence ? If there Is other cor
respondence It. will come In duo timo. But it
icenis to mo that the situation demands that
gravity , that raininess , that deliberation of
the case which will show that wo are not
BOW noting as partisans but acting as pa-
trlots. [ Applau o. ] This rssolutlon should
bo referred to the committee on foreign af
fairs. , Ar. early report will be mndo. No ono
can bo injured by the delay , The country
cai. . ot bo Injured ; this sit.iplo question will
not bo injured by a reasonable delay In order
that n committee of this house shall consider
It. " [ Applause. ]
Could H Trusted toilin Committee.
"It has boon the nsngo of this house
through different administrations , " suid Mr.
Hilt of Illinois , also a member of the foreign
affairs commltteo , "to ronildo questions that
concern oui relations with other countries tea
a commltteo on foreign affairs , where overv
ihndoof opinion in the house is represented ,
End to hnvu that committee , which always
has been substantially nonpartlsan nnd truly
patriotic , us i have observed it smco I was n
momborof this house , In such relations with
. the exegutlyo that U the information of the
Iilnd desired ly the gentleman from Ken
tucky Ir. his resolution was to bo obtained , it
was accessible to your committee , and that
committee represents most truly the senti
ments and thu disposition and IU < ? wishes of
this liouso nnd you can trust It. " [ Applause , |
Mr. Blouut moved thn previous queMlon ou
.Ills motion to refer the resolution to the com-
mil too on foreign attain , but finally yielded
five minutes Mr , Brtcklnrldge , the author
ot the resolution.
Mr. Brccklnrldgo was surprised that a
resolution , which sought for nothing but In-
i formation , should have met the opposition It
Imd. The resolution aid not touch the merits
, of any controversy between Chill and the
Utitcd S'.tttcj. It did not criticise anybody ,
executive ofllcer or minister , or any ono con
nected with this transaction. It simply
nskcd for light.
Air. Burrows of Michigan Inquired
whether the gentleman thought that the
president , when ho received the dispatch ,
would decline to communicate It to con
gress.
"I think , " replied Mr. Brecklnrldge , "that
when the president of the United States
receives this communication from the house
ho will not declino. " f Apulnuso on the dem
ocratic side , j "That Is precisely the objsct
of thin resolution. " *
Itcfrrrrd to tin * Committee.
Continuing , Mr. Brocklnrldgo said that
the gentlemen who hid SPOKOH had no sense
of Iho gravity of the crisis now upon the
country deeper than ho had himself. It wni
because ho feared tlmt war might bo forced
when it was not Accessary for the honor of
the American republic that ho had offered
the resolution.
Mr. Blount of Ueorela said there was no
way for the house to guard against itself ex
cept by referring the resolution to the com
mittee on foreign affairs. The power lay In
congt'oss , not In the president , to say whether
or not war should bo declared. Tlio execu
tive could not compel this body to do any
thing but what it willed , and therefore ho
trusted that the house would proceed with
deliberation and courage from the beginning
to the end of this matter.
On motion of Mr. Blount the resolution
was then referred to the ootmnlttos on for
eign affairs without objection.
Debute on tin ) New Itnlrs.
Mr. Catchlngs of Mississippi now called up
the report of the committee on rules , con
taining the proposed now code of rules , gen
eral dcbato being limited to seven hours.
Mr. Catchlngs made n brief explanation of
the now code , stating that It was" composed
substantially of the rules governing the Fif
tieth congress , the modillcatlons being in the
interest of the dispatch of business and u re
trenchment of public expenditures.
frith-Ned by Heed.
Mr. Hcod of Malno criticised the proposed
rules nnd extolled the rules of the Fifty-first
congress. As far as thu Introduction of bills
was concerned , the proposed change would
result in a consumption of the time of the
house , nn nnnoynnco to members and exceed
ing irregularity. He sarcastically congratu
lated the democratic1 party on Inking n step
forward in advocating a rule mailing it an
order to call up for consideration a report
from the committee ou rules , and pcndlnir
the consideration the speaker may entertain
ono motion to adjourn ; but after the result is
announced ho shall not entertain any other
dilatory motion. Ho was glad to know that
It had censed to ba a tyranny for that commit
tee tn present bills for the consideration of the
houso. But oven this advantage was ono-
siued. Under the proposed rules whenever
the committee on rules wished to cut off fili
bustering it could do so ; snd It was right
that It should. 13ut Uio majority of the house
ehould at nil times have the same right.
Under the rule the minority might rule , ex
cept where the committee on rules took the
Initiative. The minority was sacred when It
had the committee on rules on its sldo , and
it was of no account when the committee
was opposed to It.
ItulHud IIU Volrc Tor Fre CoInage.
Mr. Lanham of Texas availed himself of
the wide scope given to general debate , to
mnko an earnest but brief speech In favor of
the free coinage of silver. If congress failed
to pass a measure for free silver coinage
popular eondamnat'on could not bo escaped
nnd the responsibility' for such failure could
not bo avoided. No threadbare excuse could
bo in order before tbo bar of public opinion.
The demonetization of silver had been co
vertly , if not fraudulently , accomplished
nc-amst the interests of the people.
Mr. Bowers of California criticised the
proposed niles. His people wanted some ap
proprlatlons for their harbors. If bo under
stood the report of the committee aright ,
unless he could got n pull on tha committee
of rivers and harbors ho "was not in it. "
| Laughter. ]
Mr. Uaynor of Maryland replied to Mr.
Lnnham of Texas. History , he said , had
been rend In vain ; the cardinal doctrines of
political economy had been misapprehended
if it was bolloved that there was any truth
and logic in the proposition for free silver
coinage.
Mr. Burrows of Michigan brought the debate -
bate back to the subject unaer consideration
nnd entered into a critical analysis of the
proposed rules.
Mr. Mills of Texas made n brief reply.
Mr. McKenna of California also addressed
the house In criticism of the new code , and
then the house adjourned until tomorrow.
In the Semite.
The proceedings in the senate todav wore
dull nnd uninteresting. Mr. Merrill , from
the finance committee , reported back with a
substitute the joint resolution to provide for
an International bimetallic agreement.
Mr. Dawos , from the commltteo on Indian
sffairs , reported back the house bill for the
completion of the allotment of lands to the
Cheyenna and Arapaboo Indians. Tha bill
was'passed and now goes to the president.
Mr. George offered a resolution for the np- .
polntmcnt of a select committee of Ilvo to in
quire into the causes of the present low price
of cotton and of tbo depressed condition of
agriculture in the cotton raising states. Ho
forrod.
A bill to amend the act granting right of
way to the Hutchinson & Southern railway
company through Indian Territory was taken
from the tnblo and passed.
The senate bill , appropriating $100,01)0 ) for
a public building at Lcadvlllc , Colo. , was
taken from thu calendar and passed.
.The Ln Abra bill was taken up and dis
cussed until adjournment.

( leneral HiHViird TulkH About Troop * ,
Nn\v Yomc , Jan. 20. General O. O , How
ard said ; "At the present time probably
not moro than 10,000 troops of our regular
army would bo available , tbo others Del ng
required at the posts tboy now occupy to
protect the people from local troubles , or
foreign attacks ; but the states would bo
speedily called upon by the president to fur
nish such a number of men as would give us a
larger army than our opponents have. Every
part of the country would have to furnish
its quota , and a largo and wall organized
army would soon be ready. There would be
from a few states well drilled militia , but
tboy would bo unaccustomed to campaigning
and to Hold service. At first wo should have
to suffer great loss of life , whllo operating to
cpn'lno the enemy within us close limits as
possible. "

Confirmation or thn Il pittrli from Santiago
That She Had Uomu Down from lli-r
High Horse Opinion * from 1'roinl-
ncnt .Mm Not < > on thu Situation *
n. C. , .Ian. 2rt. This govern
ment today received n long message , from
Minister Kgnn , convoying nn offer on the
part of the Chilian government of the settle
ment of nil existing difficulties with tbo
United States. This message confirms In
every particular the statements made In the
exclusive Associated Press dispatch received
from Santiago last evening , which was In
effect that Chili had ugrced to withdraw the
offensive note sent by Senor Muttn ; to with
draw its request for the recall of Minister
Egan. and to submit the Baltimore affair to
the arbitration of sotna neutral nation , or to
submit the matter to the decision of the
United States supreme court. Mr. Egan
states thcso propositions at greater length
than Iho Press dispatch , but tno exact oddi-
tlons cannot now be a cortnlned. There Is
reason to believe , however , that the Chlllnn
government not only offers to withdraw the
offensive note , but , In addition , offers to npol-
oglzo for it. It also agrees to the position
taken by the United States in regard to the
right of asylum and tlio safe conduct of
refugees.
Mr. Esau's dispatch was submitted to the
cabinet nt Its nuctliig today. The cntlro ques
tion was discussed , and It is understood that
o difference of opinion was developed as to
the propriety of accepting the offer without
modification so long as It related to the sub
mission of the question of Chili's ' liability for
tbo attack on the sailors of the Baltimore to
arbitration of n neutral nation or to the de
cision of the supreme court. Without reach
ing a decision the meeting adjourned.
The president wil doubtless communicate
Mr. Egau's ' dispatch to congros ? , but will
probably not do so for several days , unless It
is called for by the house or sonato.
In the Foreign Afl'.ili-s Committee.
The senate commltteo on foreign relations
held a short session this morning , but the
meeting was mostly of an Informal character
and was devoted to a brief exchange of opin
ion amongst the senators regarding the
president's message and the uccompanying
correspondence on the Chilian affairs.
A member of the committee stated that no
action was taken on the correspondence , and
nothing of importance took place at tbo meet
ing whatever relative to the Chilian matter.
Tha commltteo adjourned before the senate
mot , until tomorrow at 1 o'clock , in order to
allow the members to thoroughly familiarize
themselves with the message and to examine
the correspondence , nnd particularly that
portion of it relating to the testimony taken
on the killing of the Baltimore sailors. It
was uoemo I best by the committee not to
consider the matter at any length or to take
any dccisivo action ono vay or the other
until it is settled beyond a poradveuturo that
the Chilian government has given its answer
to the president's ultimatum. "
JCuluctunt to JCxprcsx an Opinion.
While the senators of the committee seen
today were apparently disposed to accept the
dispatch from Santiago , published this mnrn-
Ing , as entirely authentic , thov were not will
ing to discuss the Chilian subject extensively
until an authoritative statement had been re
ceived by the president to the effect that
Chili had compiled with the demands of the
United States , A member of the committee
while declining to state the probable action
that would bo taken by the committee said
that if a report were made by the committee
it would probably bo submitted with very
little delay.
The senators generally were disinclined to
express any opinion until after the official
communication made by Chill to the State
department Is made public. "I would pre
fer , " said Senator Dawos , "to wait until wo
eet fuller information before giving any ox-
Erossion of opinion.Vo want to know how
road the concessions of Chili arc , and how
far she has conceded to the demands of our
ultimatum. "
Senator Cockrell was manifestly gratified
that his constant predictions had been veri
fied. "Ihnvoahva\s maintained , " saia ho ,
"that It was simply foolishness to talk about
war with Chili. Of course their proposition
for arbitration will have to bo accepted. It
would bo ridiculous for a nation of ( i5.0UOOUO
people to muKo war on a llttlo nation of
: ) ,000,000 In a question of this kind , particu
larly wbcn tbo smaller nation now proposes
arbitration. "
T.'llor Hits 1II UoiibtH.
Senator Teller thought that the position of
Chili was still somewhat indefinite. "I do
not see , " ho said , "that there Is anything to
arbitrate BO far. It docs not appear that
Chill has yet said that she will inakn com
pensation , but merely suggests the rofcrenco
of the whole Baltimore dispute to arbitra
tion. However , I have no doubt that they
will sav that they will pay whatever com
pensation JH awarded. It Is not a matter of
vital importance to us how much the com
pensation is. It Is the principle involved
that wo nro contesting tor. If they express
their regret for the oconrrenco and withdraw
Iho offensive note and make any kind of n
proposition for compensation I have no doubt
this government will accept it , however
small it may bo. It is not n question of
money , but of preservation of our dignity in
the matter. "
Not Clour to DnIiolH.
"It appears to bo somewhat Indefinite , "
paid Senator Dubols of Idaho , "lust what
Chili proposes to refer to arbitration or to
our supreme court. If It In the question of
how much indemnity they are to pay that is
a perfectly proper matter for adjustment in
that way. But if tt inc.ina to refer the wliol'j
question of whether wo nro entitled to an
apology and compensation , then I do not sco
that there is any matter which the supreme
court could decide any better than the two
houses of congress. The war-making power ,
that Is the two houeea of congress and the
prosldent8hould bo fully able upon the ovl-
dcnco produced to decide woollier apology
and indemnity are necessary to Iho preserva
tion of the true dignity of this country.
Having decided that these should bo exacted
from Chili , I do not sco thai there would bo
anything to arbitrate except tbo queuion of
amount of indemnity. That , I think , wo
should be qulto willing to refer to arbitration
or to tbo supreme court. "
AUutyx Thought So ,
Senator Chilton snui ; "I have believed
from the beginning that , under the facts , a
war with Chill was not necessary to main
tain the national dignity nor to protect
Amrican Interests , and could not bo Justltlou
upon any enlightened International code of
honor. It seems to mo every vestigh'of excuse -
cuso for such a calamity Is removed by the
Chilian reply to the ultimatum of this coun
try. "
Senator Sawyer : "If the Associated 'Press '
dispatch from Santiago , published this morn *
Ing , is entirely correct then [ sea no reason
why the trouble should * siotbo settled and at
an end very soon. "
Senator Jones of Arkansas satd : "Tnero
Is no rcas'onablo probability of war. Ttioro
is no doubt that matter will honorably bo ad
justed , and U Chili has compiled with the
ultimatum , as published by the Associated
Press this morning , that will probably end
the affair , " . . , "
Senator Colqultt' thought IV exceedingly
unfortunate that tbo president should have
Rent his message and the correspondence to
congress boforo. Chill has made an answer to
the demands In ttjo ultimatum. Ho thought
Ibli was especially so. considering the short
time given to the Chilians to answer. There
was no doubt but that the nITair would bo
peaceably srtlled and wltbout war.
Senator Faulkner thought luat U Culll baa
apologized for issuing the Malta letter , nil
other matters for Indemnity nnd reparation
would bo properly referred to arbitration.
Ho thought that If the letter hud been with
drawn nnd Chill aottnowledgcuVhor error in
liaving sent It to foreign ministers end others ,
that of Itself would bo sufllclont apology.
Ho Wits satisfied the United States would do
nvorythlng consistent with dignity and honor
In settling the matter and without having to
resort to war.
It Is said that Senator Hawley , discussing
Iho situation with a na.val ouloor this morn-
Intr , remarki d that ho regarded the propo
sition as nn evident effort on the part of
Chill to moot the United States half way nnd
to bo fair.
Authority of the Supreme Court to Act.
Representative E. B. Taylor of Ohio ,
chairman of the Judiciary committed In the
last congress , said : "I ntn content with anything , -
thing consistent with the honor of this coun
try. I do not want to thump Cblll she is too
small , but yet I want to thump anybody who
spits in my face. "
"How could the supreme court not juris
diction of the controversy ! " ho WAS askod.
"Only by consent and an not of congress
giving tt the power to net. If Chill agrees
of course congress will agree.1'
KoproBcntntives Montgomery of Kentucky ,
Peel of Arkansas , McMillln of Tennessee ,
McCrcnry of IContucny nnd many others ox-
proisod themselves as satisfied with the
Chilian reply.
Mr. Hitt of Illinois said that the dispatch
Indicated such a remarkable change on the
part of the Chilians that ho could hardly
credit It. It was all that wo could ask , but
that Chill had offered to refer the case to our
own tribunal , after the delay nnd acrimony
which was evident In the correspondence , as
tonished him.
Will Spend ro\v Days In Cutlao.
The secretary of the navy this afternoon
sent n cablegram to Commander Evans of
the Yotktown , now nt Callao , authorizing
him to give his crowshoro leave.as requested
in his message of yesterday. This In itself
shows that the vessel will remain nt Callao
for at least two or throe days , If that fact
were not already established by the neeosslty
of coaling. It was said at the Navy depart
ment that It had not boon decided whether
the Vorktown or the iioston , or both , should
return to Valparaiso. The Impression is gen
eral among naval officers , however , that the
Yorktown will bo selected for that service ,
and that she will bo the only American ves
sel sent there for the present unless some
unlocked for Incident should require the im
mediate presence of others.
Captain Schly , commandorlof the Balti
more , arrived In Washington today from San
Francisco and had a long conference with
the socrotnrv of the navy in regard to thn
assault on the Baltimore's crow at Valparaiso
raise in October last. Subsequently ho said
ho had nothing to say on the subject for pub
lication. Ho said no oxpoetcd to remain in
Washington two or three days nnd then re
turn to his vessel at Sah Francisco. As in
dicative of his feeling in thamatter ho rc-
raarlcod significantly : "If there is going to
bo a play in Chili , 1 want a front scat. "
Conference on Seal fisheries Dispute ,
The secretary of state has { arranged with
the British minister for a 'conference at
Washington between the commissioners rep
resenting Great Britain and ; tUo United
States who visited Woshlngtqnllast summer
for the purpoio of obtalilingdeBnlte informa
tion in regard to the seal llshorioj.
The commissioners are as follows : On the
part of the United States , Prof."T. C. Mon-
denhall ond-Prof.Charles T.'Herrlnm ; on the
part of Great Britain , Sir , Qoorgo Baden-
Powell of England aud Dr. Dawson of
Canada. This conference IB understood to bo
merely preliminary to tbo formal submission
of the Bering sea question Vie arbitration.
The basis of arbitration'andjthoperionnel of
the arbitrators , have beeirpractlcttlly settled ,
but no official announcement on the subject
will .bo made for somo-tiuie yot. II is gener
ally understood that HoivE. J. Phoips of
Vermont will be ono of the arbitrators.
Amending Tho" Notv Code ,
A vnry significant amendment to the now
code of rules Is offered by Mr. Breckinrldso
of Kentucky. It roads as' follows : "Pro
vided further , that whenever any general
appropriation bill is under consideration It
shall bo in ordur to move as an amendment
any amendment ' reducing taxation or provid
ing out of what' fund or taxes such appropria
tion shall bu paid. "
This proviso Mr. Brocklnrldgo proposed to
ado to the Holmau ru'o , whoso adoption was
recommended by the rules committee , per
mitting rulers or legislation on appropriation
bills when In the Interest of. retrenchment.
If enacted it would enable a complete tariff
bill to bo appended to an } ' , appropriation bill
under consideration in the house , the sig
nificance of it is already scon. Members
of the ways and moans commltteo who are In
favor of attacking the McKinley tariff act by
separate bills were afraid that it indicated a
purpose to tano the rovisloapf tbo tariff out
of their hands and nroposoia" general tariff
bill , like the Mills billottho Fiftieth con-
gross.

This remark , dropped frOni the lips of Sec
retary Tracy as a reporter'walked with him
from thn Navy department to the whlto
house , sums up concisely the status of the
Navy department now tfiat the message and
correspondence have gone to congress.
"It is now for congress , " continued the
secretary , "to say what tbo policy of the
government shall bo in dealing with Chill.
Tbo administration can do nothing moro at
present. Congress Is in possession of all the
facts , and tbo president' by his message
transfers tbo responsibility to that branch of
the government. His message understates
rather than overstates the strength of the
case against Chill , and I Dellovo that congress
will so conclude after a thorough examina
tion of all the correspondence ) now In its
possession. Whatever may bo the doclulon
of congress , the navy will bo found to bo
fully pioparod to carry out Its wishes. "
Hen Ilutlt-r U lor War.
General B. F. Butler , when asked by n reporter - '
porter for his views on the president's mes
sage , replied in part as follows :
"I have road tno mostago and like its tone ,
and one thing especially I am glad to see ,
and that Is the frame and full endorsement it
gives Minister Egan. I have come to the
conclusion that the attack of Cbill on our
seamen was an outrageous , i unpardonable
wrong. It was an outrage upon our citizens
because they were pur clprens , and that
makes it unpardonable untllittie fullest apol-
ocry and separation is tendered ; and it should
bo speodllv altered , luaveifceon some non
sense in the newspapers isbaul submitting
the matter to arbitration. 'That seams to mo
a question not lit to bq discussed. It Is said
thuro would bo no glorvguinail by a war with
Chili , That may bo truo. .But wo are not
seeking to gam anything , "fbo point with us
Is to save our honor tn theieye.of the nations
of tbo world and have ro ( ) r tie for the in
jury and insult to our citiims. This loads
mo to the conclusion that dqilomatio negotia
tions should cease at once ; that. Chill should
bo notified unless the fuUustxmolojry is made
and a covenant bo ontorejl .into by a day
named , and that a near one , that war should
bo declared ngaliibt Chill , and all her citizens
ordered out of our country , and wo must
whip her or she must whip us. Congress
should so frame its acts as to empower the
president to carry out , this .determination as
spcudlly and effectually as possible.
KKUII hliould Nut ll Ilorallml ,
"Under no consideration should Minister
Egan bo recalled wltliunj Idea that another
minister would bo sent to thorn , If Cblll
gives an authoritative hdpo that she will
make It proper to enter Into negotiationsMr.
Egan should bo directed toromovo the papers
and books of the legation on board a man-of-
war In the harbor of Valparaiso and the au
thorities of Cblll must negotiate with him
there. At the same tlmo the Chilian minister
hero should bo furnished with his passports.

In Increasing Numbers.
LOSPOX , Jan. 20. Advices received here
from St. Petersburg say that thousands of
peasants from Iho famine-stricken districts
hnvo started for Siberia in the hope that they
will bo able to effect some betterment In
tholr condition In that part ot the oniplro.
On Saturday last It was announced that
1,400 of these emigrants , who had the city of
Tobolsk ns their objective point , had arrived
nt , Tlumen , n town of Siberia 120 miles south
west of Tobolsk. Those people had no money ,
sickness was decimating their numbers , and
altogether tholr condition was about a mis
erable and hopeless as could bo imagined.
Tiuinon has n population of 15,000 Inhabit
ants , nnd the moro kind-hearted among them
did nil they could to olloviato the distress of
the poor emigrants , who , witn the forlorn
hope of at last getting enough to oat to keep
life In their miserable bodies , had tramped
many weary miles over the almost trackless ,
snow covered country until tnoy had reached
Tiuiucu. Oi course , thcso men , women nnd
children for many of the emigrants hero
brought their families with them could not
pay for conveyance. They were too sick or
exhausted to walk the 120 miles to Tobolsk ,
and being thus enable to go forward or to re
turn , they were compelled to subsist entirely
upon charity.
Absolutely Destitute.
Their number was constantly added to by
fresh arrivals. Daily , hourlv , there was n
constant stream of tbcso unfortunates pour
ing Into the town , nnd every newcomer made
the situation worse for those already In the
town. The condition of affairs nt Tlumen is
now too horrible for language to describe ,
and no ono can tell what the final outcome
will bo. In the town and Its immediate vi
cinity there are now 14,000 persons who nro
absolutely destitute and helpless , and whom
It 19 Impossible for the residents of the place
to help.
0Tho scones oi misery end woo , of abject
and hopeless poverty and actual .starvation
are almost beyond the power of pen to per
tray. Of shelter it may bo satd that they
have practically none , their only protection
from the elements being sheds constructed
of light boards , which , though they may in n
measure protect them from snow , do not in
any way save them from the effects of the
bitter cold Siberian winter. There is not u
particle of lire tn these sheds , and the only
warmth the sufferers have Is that furnished
by their own bodies as they huddle in
groups.
Typhus nnd ScarK't Fcr. .
In this dense mass of humanity typhus
fever and scarlet fever are ranking sad rav
ages. Weakened by their long and painful
Journey , by their eiiforuod abstinence from
nourishing food , and by their utter hopeless
ness they become easy victims to the
scourge of disease that has broken out
among them.
It is impossible to render medical aid to
the sufferers. Ho.wovor willingly they might
bo.tbc'fow doctors In Tiumon are completely
powerless to battle against tbo diseases that
are carrying olT the peasants in enormous
numbers. To bo attacked by either of the
fevers is almost certain death. No care can
bo taken of tbo siclL no precautions to prevent -
vent the epidemic from spreading and tbo
people of Tiuinon are fearful lost they ,
too , fall victims to the scourges.
So numerous have tbo deaths become that
there Is no pretense of holding a funeral over
the bodies. Neither are tno last sacraments
of the church administered to the dying. So
intensely cold is the weather that In a very
short time after death the bodies of the vic
tims are frozen stiff. The bodies are then
thrown into carts and takeji to the cemetery ,
where they are unceremoniously buried In a
common pit.
Not Kien Itullfjrlona Consolation.
Amia all this deep nnd bitter misery the
action of tno priests of the Greek church
stands out In vivid contrast to the humanity
which , it is expected , should bo shown by
these in their culling. Tinmen was the
oldest town in Siberia , has many churches
and many priests , and hero , if anywhere , it
would bu sxncctua that compassion would bo
mown forvtho sick and dying. But the
priests flatly refuse to officiate at tbo side of
the dying or to perform any funeral rites mi-
loss they nro paid by the wretchedly poor
peoplo. n erent majority of whom have not n
kinglo knuek to call thqir own. The priests
give as an excuse for their noartlossncss that
they are too busy to attend to tbo poor emi
grants.
