Egan's Recall Not Desired.

There is no truth in the report that
the Chilian government desires the
of the cabinet decline to discuss the mat
ter. but il is known some weeks since a
member of that body remarked that the
newspapers seemed to be demanding
some such act. He was promptly
squelched and the question has never
since been permitted to be discussed at
the cabinet meetings.

Inquiry Begun.

The evidence in the preliminary in
quiry as to the attack ON the sailors is
said to be complete The Chilian meth
Cd of examination is peculiar, and some
what resembles the French. The mag
istrate has each person, accused or IN
der suspicion, brought before him sepa-
rately, without counsel, and subjected
to rigid examination, to which there is
no limit of relevancy. There is no doubt
that in some instances physical torture
is applied although the law forbids it.

monopolized the witness stand during the
greater part of to-day in the case of the
State VI. Hickey et al. The old gentleman
was put through very severe course OF
CROSS examination. Nothing new was
brought out. He was being examined in
rebuttal of the testimony given by Frank
and Davis for the defense. He said that
Franks voice was not the ono he heard the
night Penrose was killed, when he accosted
a man on Park street and asked him If hs
was policeman. Judge Muldoon, who
conducted 1.-THE inquiry, produced Aliens
testimony, and the witness recognized
his signature affixed at the
bottom. Efforts were made to confuse the
old gentleman, but they failed.
j. II. Warren was another witness exam
ined. He was one of the first to discover
Penrose's body. Warren was put on the
stand by the defense to impeach the testi-
mony of officer Waller, who testified that
he had taken Penross's hat from under the
body whilo the defense contended 1t was
Chief Leyden. The witness said he did not
know who it was who took the hat. The
examination of witnesses proceeded very
slow on account of the many objections Of
the opposing counsel and the lengthy argu-
rnents that followed almost every objection
made.

why People Get Married.

Though it is very common to repronch old
bachelors with their oelibscy, says London
Tit Bits, and to pity old maids as if single
blessedness were misfortune, yet many
married people have seen fit to offer apollo
gies for having entered into what some
profans wag has called the "holy bands OF
paddock" One man says he got ma rried
to get q housekeeper, another to get r i'd OF
bad company.
Many women declare they got married for
the sake of home; few acknowledge that
their motive was to get husband. Goethe
averred that he got married in order to be
Respectable" John Wilkes said he took a

Old maids who get married invariably as

Sons of Veterans.

The order of the Sons of Veterans was
brought into existence in 1881, and the
present is consequently the wooden" an
niversnry. In 1888 there was secession OF
about thirty camps from the original 30
ciety, which Joined the Sons of Veterans of
the United States of America, which WAS
organized by Major A. p. Davis, of Pitts
burg, Pa. The two national organizations
were consolidated in 1886. From that time
until the present the growth of the order
has been very rapid. There are now 1900
camps and 100000 members. The camps
cover every state in the union. even in the
heart of the south. There ia camp in
Key West and one in Alaska. The order
has already commenced the subjueation of
Canada by placing its banner on that soil
and a camp has been organized in Montreal.
The order is semi-military one and about
one-half of it's members are enrolled in
armed camps. 1t does good work in nr-
ranging for Memorial day exercises and
other patriotic events, thereby teaching and
encoukaging patriotism. Its membership
ia not entirely made up OF young men for
in its ranks are some OF the ablest men in
the country.

Rusk Ha. a Market for Corn.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-Secretary Rusk to-
day received official notice that the German
government had raised the embargo on
American pork. An agreement was signed
at Cape May ten days ago, but at the re-
quest of the German government the fact
was withheld from the public press until
official action could be taken by the home
government. The agreement not only pro-
vdes for the admittance of our rork into
Germany, but also affords to the United
States the same schedule with reference to
our farm products as that enjoyed by Rus
sin. Secretary Rusk is confident that he
will soon be able to extend our market for
corn by introducing it into Germany for
use as an article of food in the place of rye,
the crop of which in Germany is this year
exceedingly short. To this end he has in
struoted his corn agent, Col. @. j. Murphy,
now in Europe, to proceed at once to Berlin
and lay the matter before the German gov
ernment.
