RECIPROCITY CONFERENCES.
General Fosters Visit TO the President
The Case Of Captain ArmaS.

CAPE MAY, July 29.-General John ".
Foster left here this morning for Washing
top. During his stay he was the guest OF
the President, and the gentlemen were busy
the entire time comforting regarding the
reciprocity treaties being negotiated with
various countries. No confirmation or de-
NAL Of the reported signing of the recip-
roclty agreement between the United StItes
and San Domingo, June 4th, could be OBJ
tanned here. The President, when ap-
preached upon the subject stated that all
such information must come from the State
Department.
The President this morning acted upon
several pardon cases, one of which was that
OF Captain George j. Armes. The occur
renee which led to the trial by cOurt-martial
OF ArmeS created considerable comment at
the time. Armes, at the Inauguration of
PRESIDENT Harrison, was retired army Off
Ger, living in Washington. On Inauguration
day Armes received a fancied grievance
from some OF the Pennsylvania officials. A
lew evenings afterwards he met Governor
Beaver OF Pennsylvania in the lobby of the
hotel, and publicly iDsulted him, even going
SO far as TO pull his nose. Captain Armes
was tried for conduct unbecoming an
offlcer and gentleman, found guilty and
President subsequently commuted the sem
tence, and ordered Armes to be restrained
within the limit of fifty miles of the District
of Columbia for three years. Upon the
recommendation of the Secretary of War
the President has now commuted this sem
tence and Armes in future can so where
he DleaseS.

Epecial 10 THE MORNING CALI.

PARIS, July 29.-The Chilean Congress
sional party have issued statement to the
effect that the election of Vicuna as Presi-
dent of Chile is null and void for several
reasons: Because as the President of the
Cabinet he organized the coup d 'etat in JAN
uary last, thus violating the constitution :;
because the election was not carried out ia
conformity with the law relating to cleo
tions; because only part of the country
voted. and because the election occurred
during the suspension of the tribunal
charged with the settlement of electoral
disputes.

gressional ENJOYS deny emphatically the
truth of the reports from Santiago to the
effect that thousands of soldiers of the Con-
greSsiunal army at Iquique have refused to
leave there when ordered to Atacama. be-
cause they had received no pay. The soldiers
Of the IquiQue Government, they say, are
volunteers. but aside from this fact the Gov
ernment has plenty of money with which to
pay them. Balmaceda, they affirm. sought
to negotiate loan in Europe and in the
United States, but was unsuccessful.
The Government of Balmaceda, they as
sert, has made no progress since the COM
mencement of tho revolution, and each
month since it began has experienced loss.
These losses, the envoys say, have been as
follows: In January, the navy; in Febru-
ary, the province of Tarapaca; in March,
the province of Antafagasta; in April, the
province of Tacna; in May, the province of
Atacama; in June, Lobos Guano Islands,
and during the present month, the valley of
Huasco. Balmaceda has not the envoys in
sist, been able to recover any of the losses
which his Government has sustained.

obstruction that formerly hindered legisla-

Regarding Ireland, Lord Salisbury said
the Government had applied a successful
remedy 10 the evils long suffered there, and
could look back on its policy with salts
faction. Five years ago he had expressed
the belief that Ireland must be governed
resolutely. Ealfour's success was largely
due to the fact that those serving under

could not undertake either task.
The Premier spoke of the value of the

Naples, in assuring the world of the peace

New YORK, July &C. p. Huntington
said yesterday that the death of Mrs. Hop
kins-Searles will in no way affect the man
agement or policy of the Southern Pacific
Railroad properties. The important inter

Mr.. Searles. There are no clashing of inter-
eStS as TO the management of the com pany' S
affairs" said Huntington, land everything
will go right along as usual. We have recog-
nized the fact we could not stay here forever
and provision was made long time ago for
the perpetuati0n of the management should
any one of US be stricken down. Now that
Mrs. Searles is gone her stock will certainly

course, and arriving in eighteen days.
These steamers are 10 sail once in three
weeks and make seventeen voyages year.
In returning from BuenOS Ayres they are
allowed to stop at Santos and Rio, at the
con tractors option. The voyage from Rio
Is to be made in sixteen days. Bids will be
made by the New York and Cuba Mail line.
If the bids are accepted, three ships exceed
ing 5000 tons each and capable of making
sixteen knots will be built for the service.
These vessels will be superior in every re-
s.pect 10 any steamships now under the
American flag. European nations have
monopolized the trade of the Platte coun-
tries owing to lack of direct steam conf
munication with New York. American ex-
porters have been compelled to ship their
goods by sailing vessels, or else have them
transsh ipped at Hamburg or Rio, with in
creased transportation charges and serious
delay. The mail service has been very bad.
requiring anywhere from thirty to forty
days. With direct steam service by sixteen
knot ships mails will go down in eighteen

Gus breeds during the exposition and in
return take all the products of tile cattle.
1t was deemed best before taking
action to allow the breeders to meet
and prepare report regarding their
purposes. The breeders accordingly
met In the afternoon. After long debata
over the question of ''Cburns VS.. Chemical

mend that all milk tests be made by chemi-
cal analysis. The plan of months driry
school was Endorsed and the committee
recommended to make tests consisting Of

quirement that the cattle remain six months.
Messrs. Boyd Of Illinois, Asburn of Nebraska

RIGHT OF WAY.
Enforcement of the Omaha Bridge Contract
Ordered by Justice Brewer.

Urdered oy Justice Brewer.
OMAHA, July 2S.-Justice Brewer to-day
denied the application for supersedeas In
the Rock Island Union Pacific bridge case,
and made decree requiring the specific
performance of the contract and command
ing all officers and employees of the COM
panies concerned to refrain from in any
manner interfering with the prompt enforce
mcnt of the terms of the contract. The re-
quest of the Rock Island that the rules of
the Union Pacific be allowed to govern in
the movement of trains until other rules and
schedules be prepared was denied The
effect of the dena probably only delays the
Rock Island ana Milwaukee trains from
crossing the bridge until Saturday, aS by
that lime new schedules can be prepared
by the operating department of the roads
interested; and in case Of a disagreement,
the contract provides that it shall be settled
by arbitration. When the decree was
signed. the Court instructed the Clerk not
to enter 1t upon the records until the Union
Pacific had settled its notice of appeal and
bill OF exception, as it had given notice of so
doing.
New YORK. July 29.-President Sidney
Dillon of the Union Pacific denies that any
indemnity bond has been or will be filed in
the Omaha bridge matter. Dillon says: l
am here, and Clarke, General Manager, is
away with Gould in the West, and NOBODY,
as far as l know. has taken any such action.

diawfrom the outcome Of the last Congress
sional election. Some pointed out the
dangers of the Alliance movement in their
State, and submitted ingenious plans to
meet its threatened inroads on the party's
strength. Others referred to various griev-
apces and the causes of dissatisfaction among
Republicans which might be overcome by
proper treatment Some discussion followed
as to the time and place of the meeting of
the full National Republican Committee
and it was finally decided to ntrust the Sc
lection of the place of meeting and the exact
date to Chairman Quay and Secretary Fas-
set, with proViso that the Eeeting shall
take place in November. The e-honored
custom allowing six months notice of the
meeting of the nominating convention is to
be observed, this action is an indication that
the next National Republican Convention
will be held not later than May next. After
the election of w. j. Campbell of Illinois as
member of the committee in the place of
George Davis of the same State the commit
tee took recess for two hours.
