A Friendly Act,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Assistant
Secretary Batcheller said yesterday af-
ternoon that the action of Chilli in
placing imported machinery. agricul-
tural implements, tools. copper, iron
and other things on the free list was a
most friendly act. It opens up, ne
added, fine market for our products,
and if we are prompt to avail ourselves
of the opportunity, it will be of i'm
mense value to us. We can do nothing
without some means of sending these
things to their market; we must have
our own transportation in order to
avail ourselves of the opportunity. In
order to accomplish anything congress
must be prompt to pass measures
granting aid to the American steam
ers so as to build UP merchant means
of transportation. The Chilians are
the Yankees of the south. They are
an energetic, intelligent and progress
sive people and trade with them is OF
great value.

Presidents Enoto Of Harvard on PEN

1 am a firm believer in the justice
and expedience of a pension system,
particularly under republican institu-
tions, where public offices should be
open alike to the poor and to the rich.
L believe in pensions, not only to SOL
diers and sailors, but to judges, teach
ers, firemen, policemen and all public
servants who have deserved we'll of the
country, and hold it to be hideous
wrong inflicted upon the republic that
the pension system instituted for the
benefit of the soldiers and sailors OF the
United States has been prostituted and
degraded by the whole series of repub-
lean administrations. AS things are,
gentlemen, one cannot tell whether a
pensioner of the United States was a
brave soldier or sailor, or a cow
ardly deserter. One cannot tell wheth-
er a pensioner of the United States re-
ceived an honorable wound in the bat
tie or contracted a chronic catarrh
twenty years after the close of the
war. One cannot tell whether pen
sioner of the United States is a disa-
Dled soldier or sailor or perjured paul
per who has foiSted himself upon the
public treasury. Gentlemen, if had nc
other motive for changing my party
wouldsdo anything in my power by word
and act, to get the chance to vote again
for Grover Cleveland for president, be
cause he bravely did what he could tC
restore the pension system of our coun.
try to the honorable respect of It's sold
iers and its citizens.

DeleGate Fliat's Adaress

The following Is q synopsis of the
address by United States Delegate
Flint to the All-Amorica delegates
present at the Chicago banquet last
evening:
Mr.. Flint said that Europe was
awaiting with great interest the out
come of the International congress and
it was natural that she should, as she
had witnessed wonderful results on the
new continents in the past and might
expect to witness just as wonderful in
the future. The countries of the new
world should establish their commercial
independence in the industrial strug-
gle that WAS Waging the world over to-
day. BE hoped the congress would es-
Lssblish q system OF inJeT-American ex-
change to replace the system which
now cOmpels North and South Ameri-
can merchants to transact their bust
ness with each other through London
banks, then the way would be open for
the establishment of a system of inter
| national currency which he hoped
| would occur in the near future. The
speaker referred to the recent abolition
| of slavery by Dem Pedro Segunde, the
model ruler of the world, and congrat-
| ulated the delegates that all Americas
were now free and equal, By utiliZa-
