the Herald to announce their co ely
guarded secret.
Late yesterday afternoon q telegram
was received from Minister Egan. 1t
referred to the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Mont, which, it said, passed IF sue
cessfully, and was followed by BAN
quot Saturday night, which was attended
by the congress-, other officials and
foreign ministers with which the ad.
ministration is maintaining pleasant
and amicable relations. The inference
from the message is that Mr.. Egan was
not invited to attend the banquet, GER
tainly he did not go.
MIR. Egan also referred to the publ.
cation in Valparaiso and this country
OF extracts from Santiago papers ex-
planning the proceedings before Judge
Foster in the investigation of the as
sault upon the Baltimore's sailors.
The papers contained, so far as the
message revealed, no comment upon
the situation. With regard to Mr..
Egan's absence from the ceremony of
inauguration Saturday, it may be
stated with mucn confidence that no
communications passed between him
and the State Department on the sub
ject, that his course was dictated by
what he deemed to be the due precau-
ton, If not the necessity, of the situa-
ton, without advice from this end OF
the line.

Such rejectamenta of tourists accumu. late in spots in tho Mammoth cave ac- tuately by cart loads, but, though there Is so much moisture, decomposition progresses so slowly that the offal is not offensive. The processes of decay seem to be accomplished chiefly by a new fungi. It Is said that meat hung up in the mouth of one of these caverns remains fresh for a long time, and 1t Is surmised that the bacteria which cause things to become putrid are probably rare in the underground at mosphere. re.-Washington Star.

How England Could Take Chicago

Our lake frontier Is n cobweb. No land defenses of such towns as Chi cago, situated on the shore itself, could save them from bombardment. The best army could not protect Chicago against mediocre modern feet The shipping and commerce of the lakes is attractive. The goods afoat and ashore suffice to pay a huge war in dennity. They are all at the mercy of an English hotilla. Some people im- agine that modern war has been hu- manized out of such measures as bom- bardnent. But Paris was bombarded in 1870; so was Strasburg, and its beautiful cathedral spire was seriously injured. War has no esthetic maxims. The occupation of q seaport leaves no alternative but submission and the pay ment of heavy ransom-or lombard ment. In a town like Chicago this would be followed by fire, and we all remember the S200, GOO, 900 lost in the fiie of lS71.-Col. T. A. Dodge in Fo- run

A SINGULAR DEFENSE.
An American Imprisoned In Chin sfs
 Months for Crossing His Legs-

Months Cor Crossing His Legs.
 The charges that are made against the Chilian government of despotism, etc, recall a story told by Colonel Thomas H. Nelson after his return from Chili, where he represented this government as minister under the ad- ministration of Abraham Lincoln. He said:
 ''On the day after my arrival at San tiago, the capital of Chill, received a message from an American then in jail at that place, who desired to see me as early as convenient called at once, and found n man who looked not un- like Joe JeffoEson when he made up as Rip Van WhkIe. He said his name was Story, that he was son of the late Associate Justice Story, of the su- preme court of the United States, and author of tho Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States as we'll as a brother of W. w. Story, the sculptor and poet
 He said he had been in that place six months, which was by no means in- viting, and all of his efforts to find out why he was incarcerated or to secure a hearing had been without avail He desired my assistance. called at once upon the minister of foreign affairs and requested some information as to the cause of Mir. Story's imprisonment
 1.-The minister had never heard of the case, but said as l was to be presented tomorrow ho would inquire into the case, and by the time was installed as envoy extraordinary and minister pleni- potentiary he would take up the case with me. Imagine my surprise on the day following to learn that my country man had been charged with contempt of court, and that his contempt con- sisted of entering the supreme court and seating himself within the bar, when he had crossed his legs and looked directly at the judgesl' l said: There could have been no contempt intended. 1t is an American character isti,-.'
 When entered the private room of President Lincoln to take my final leave previous to my departure for this city, my post of duty, l found the president in a chair tilted back, with the middle of his back on the edge of the seat of the chair and his legs tied, it seemed to me, in double bowknot on the marble mantel. assure you there has been a great mistake made by some one.
 '"The case was brought to the atten- ton of the court, explanations were made and apologies accepted. The chief justice of the court then enter tained Mfr. Story, who, by the way, was an able as well as n very accom- plished gentleman. He lived and died in Santiago, having gone there for his health. "-Indianapolis News.

There is squaw now in jail who murdered her pappoose at Hack berry a few weeks ago. The details of the shocking crime have just come to light. 1t appears that the squaw gave birth to half breed pappoose and that another squaw suggested that it being no good it had better be killed. Another squaw, wishing to save the babes life, carried it to the house of one of Hackberry's good citizens, where she was at work. In the evening she returned to camp and laid the babe beside the mother. The inhuman creature threw the little one from her and when it set up a piteous vail, she picked up q handful of sand and poured it into the child's mouth, and then taking a rock she beat it into insensibility. It was left on the cold ground all night and in the morning was cold and stiff in death. The vile creature who would thus murder her own off spring should be aayed alive.-Mo- have Miner.
