6 o'clock the official statement of the
contents of Minister Egan's dispatch
was made public. 1t read as follows:
1.-THE department of state received this
morning a telegram from Minister Egan,
dated Santiago, Oct. %, in which he
gives the following as the reply of the
Chilian government to the presidents
telegram of Oct. %, asking reparation for
the recent murder Of American sailors in
the streets of Valparaiso. The minister
of foreign affairs replies: The govern
ment of the United States formulates
demands and advances threats that
without being cast back with acrimony'
are not acceptable nor could they be ac-
copied in the present case or in any other
of a like nature. He does not doubt
the sincerity, rectitude, or experiences
of the investigation on board the Balti-
more but will recognize only the juris-
diction and authority of his own country
to Judge and punish the guilty in the
CHILEAN territory. He says administra-
tive and judicial authorities have been
investigating the affair, that a judicial
investigation under Chilian law is secret
and the time is not yet arrived to make
known the result. When that time does
arrive he will communicate the result,
although he does not recognize any other
authority competent to judge criminal
cases than that established by the Chi
liam people. Until the time arrives to
disclose the result of the investigation
he cannot admit that any disorders in
Valparaiso or the silence of his depart
ment should appear as an expression of
u~nfriendliness towards the government
of the United States which might put in
peril the friendly relations between the
two countries"
Up to the hour when the above state
ment was made public no reply had been
made to it. What will be the nature
of Secretary Blaine's reply is alto
a matter of conjecture. The
most plausible theory advanced is that
the suggestions courteously and diplo-
matically conveyed in Acting Secretary
Wharton's dispatch that this govern
ment had no doubt an investigation
would be made and reparation afforded,
will now be renewed in the shape of a
stern and formal demand for some i'm
mediate assurance of proper action on
The part of the junta, and that if these
ire not forthcoming Minister Egan will
take passage on the Baltimore for the
United States, thus severing diplomatic
citations between the United States and

Wonderful Ralph Wilkes.

INDEPENDENTS, Iowa, Oct. 29.-Sunol's
and Monbar's record for two-year-olds
are again tied in a grand mile made here
to-day by Ralph Wilkes, a black stallion,
by Red Wilkes. Two weeks ago he made
the acquaintance of a kite track and
three times during this meeting he has
been started to beat his record of 2:21.
Each trial he has knocked off a little.
Tonight he stands before the world
with but one superior, but he is on a
record breaking track and his hackers
think his blood and speed will over
take the Californian. G. H. Williams
handled the ribbons and sent him to first
quarter in :3411s, the half in 1:O91s and
the mile in 2:18 fiat. The heat was made
without a skip and he will be started
again to beat his present mark.

CH|LTS INSULTING ANSWER
An Important %Cablegram Received
Yesterday From Minister
Egan.
The Chilians in No Hurry to Make
the Proper Restitution to the
United States.
Uncle Sam viii Probably End the
Matter by Taking Chill Across
His Knee.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-An important
c%ablegram was received from Minister
Egan Of Chill to-day. 1t was near noon
before it was translated and laid before
the president. An hour afterwards mes.
sengers were dispatched to Secretary
Blaine and Secretary Tracy requesting
their presence at the white house. The
secretaries promptly responded to the
presidents summons, Secretary Blaine
coming over from his house and Secre-
tary Tracy from the navy department.
Up to the time it had been understood
that Minister Eyan's cablegram was to
be made public at an early hour, but as
the consultation ran along it was appa-
rent that some cause for delay had
arisen. Secretary Tracy stayed an hour
at the white house and then returned to
the navy department, but had not been
there long before he was recalled. Natur-
ally these movements gave rise to all
kinds of more or less wild speculation as
to the nature of Egan's dispatch and the
intentions of the government. When
Secretary Tracy again emerged from the
white house he refused to make
any statement whatever respecting
the Gillian correspondence on the ground
that the department of state had the
matter in charge. Secretary Blaine ap-
peared to be in good spirits when he
came out of the white house and stepped
into his carriage to go home. He had
nothing to say about Egan's message,
but intimated that when the proper time
had elapsed the public would be in
formed regarding the facts. Soon after

Some Resolutions.

The British Free Trade Club Adopts
Some Resolutions.
LONDON, July 18.-The Golden club,
at meeting last night, adopted a report
which declares: eff it had not been
suggested by some home protectionist,
it was not likely that any colonist
would have been 30 unreasonable as to
propose that we should, while admit
ting colonial goods free of duty, tax
similar commodities imported from
foreign countries. While the president
OF the board of trade, in the government
of Lord Salisbury, delivers unanswer-
able refutations Of the argument that it
is q case for fiscal reform, as
presented by the United Trade
Leagne, our free trade system
does not appear to be greatly endanger-
ed. But we must be on our guard, as
these proposals are now strongly urged
by the colonists, as we'll as by the
league. Protectionism in the protect
ionist countries has not attained the
height at which it stood at the time of
Golden. The interests of employers,
and land owners are powerful, and gov
ernments find it comparatively easy to
raise enormous revenues by collusion
with the interests which profit by pro-
tection."
The report also predicts that compos-
itors and kindred trades will not suffer
on account OF the American copyright
act.

CHAUTAUQUA.
The Features of the Proceedings at
Long Beach.

The Features of the Proceedings at
Long Beach.
Today is rest day for the Chautau-
quaus at Long Beach. The classes will
have chance to digest the information
acquired during the past week. and the
teachers will have day to think of
something other than the lessons they
are to impart to their classes. There
will be Sunday school session at
o'clock under the charge OF Rev. ]. W..
Hallenbeck. At IL O'Clock Rev. Manly
Benson will preach, and in the evening
the sermon will be by Rev. N. A. Quayle,
who delivered the lecture last evening
upon the subject OF Oliver Cromwell.
There will always attach a pecu-
liar interest to that little part
of the earth's surface where the
great historical events recorded in the
Bible occurred. and the Holy Land can
never prove threadbare subject to lee
turer or writer. 1t was therefore not
remarkable that Rev. w. Hallenbeck' g
lecture on that subject was listened to
with deep interest, yesterday morning,
or that the attendance was large not
withstanding that it was one OF the hot
test days known on the beach.
The classes had full attendance, and
were as interesting as usual yesterday.
No amount OF hot weather could thin
out class who is studying cookery un-
der Mrs. Knight, and consequently she
had as full attendance and as appreci-
alive attention as at any time during
the week.
An old farmer was once heard to
remark that he didn't see nc
use in lecturing about dead; but to the
audience who sat in the tabernacle last
night it seemed as though Oliver Crom-
we'll was man alive and we'll known to
them, as DR.. Quayle held him up before
them in his vivid word pictures. There
was no sleepiness or lack of interest in
that congregation, and every one felt as
though something had been gained
when they left the lecturers presence
at 10 O'Clock.
The coming week has as good pro-
gramme as has been on the boards dnr.
ing the week past, and embraces Recog-
milton Day, the event of the year to
Chautauquans.

The Water Continues to Rise About
an Inch Day.
The water at Salton continues to rise
at about an inch every day. Engineer
Swayne, OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany, is busy writing out his notes, and
at the conclusion Of his work will make
a second trip to the desert to verify some
of his calculations.
Ever since the inflow was first made
public, which was done by the HERALD,
opinion has varied as to whether the
water would form permanent lake. In
spite OF all data since collected by
the Southern Pacific company, there
has as yet been no definite statement az
to whether the supply was likely to be
cut off or not.
The preponderance of opinion now
seems to be that the Colorado has so
altered its course as to make it probable
that the lake will be permanent. vary
ing, Of course, with the amount Of water
in the Colorado river.

mitted suicide yesterday in London. In
1877 Parker was at the head of con-
Germ called the Britis 1-American Claim

duced to contribute money for alleged
expenses in prosecuting the claims to
mythical legacies. Being detected, he
was arrested, but none of those swindled
would prosecute, and he escaped pun
ishment. He afterwards fed the coun-
try to escape arrest for misunderstanding,
and never returned.
