Washington, July 1.-The South
American COMMISSIONERS under date of
Santiago, May IA, have made their re-
port to the secretary of state, of the
result of their visit TO Chill. The
commission reached Valparaiso Mays
Tho report says; "Valparaizo Is
almost an English colony. The Eng
fish language is used almost exclu-
sively in trade, and the leading mer-
chants are subjects of Great Britain,
there being but three distinctively
American houses In the place. The
amount of goods imported from the
United States is very small, beyond
what arc bought by these firms,
THE GREAT OBSTACLES
TO the annexation of this trade being
the disposition of Englishmen TO trade
at homo, and their ability to do so ON
account of the high freights between
New York and Valparaiso, which are
usually double the cost of
transportation between valparaiso and
London, Havre or Hamburg. In
short, no goods are imported from
| the United States except when they
cannot be obtained elsewhere and
then III is found much cheaper to ship
them
| TO CHILL FROM NEW YORK,
via Hamburg or Liverpool The re-
port describes the meeting of the
president OF Chill by the COM
mission aud says series of
propositions were submitted to
him, the first of which was sugges-
ton that the old treaty of amity, COM
merce and navigation between the
United States and Chill, which was
long since terminated, might be re-
newed. with advantage 10 both coun-
tries. In reply to this the president
said he could not see any advantage
to Chill, aud he was not disposed TO
enter into any further conventions
with foreign countries. The second
proposition involved the idea ola
RECIPROCAL COMMERCIAL TREATY
between the two countries under
which special products of each should
be admitted free of duty, into the
other, when carried under the flag OF
the other nation. This did not meet
with any greater favor with Pres
Santa Maria, who was not disposed
to make reciprocity treaty. His PEG
pie were at liberty TO sell where they
could and get the best prices, and 10
buy where goods were the cheapest
