Especial TO THE WoRLD.l
New York, October 31.-Charley
johnson, the well-known Brooklyn
sporting man, received a telegram last
night from John Il. Sullivan, announc-
ing that he had arrived safely at San
Francisco, telling him to arrange for
fight with Slavin after june Mr..
johnson afterwards had consultation
with other friends of Sullivan and
talked the matter over with Arthur
Lnmley, who said this morning: "Mr.
johnson will back Sullivan to the ex-
tent of $4,000, and in fight with
Slavin he will probably be the cham
-pion's principal hacker. / have been
trying for some time to find out il
Slavip means business, and my repre-
sentative in London has been after
him, but Slayin has been very evasive
since his big bluff. Slavin simply says
that he viii do nothing until he comes
to America, but he postpones his visit
month by month. Sullivan, in q let.
ter to me, written before he went to
Australia, denied that Slavin had ever
asked him to fight in st. Louis at the
time Slavin claimed to have challenged
him. He also suggested that if he had
been approached in such an abrupt
way by Slavin, in all probability there
could have been fight then and there.
Sullivan said that Slavin approached
him in friendly way, and said he
only wished to shake hands with the
champion of the world whom he had
heard so much about. In the coming
match with Slavin-and it will surely
be made if Slavin comes to time-no
chances will be taken with the big
mans training. A great many people
think Sullivan cannot train or be in
duced to train, but / would like to say
that in his last match with lKilrain he
was not properly trained. Muldoon
took him on the road as a drawing
card to make some money instead Of
training him, as he ought toh%ve been
trained. Muldoon was supposed to
have great power over the champion,
but Muldoon had no such power. Next
time Sullivan will be trained directly
under the eye Of johnson, Wakeley
and his other hackers. They realize
that Slavin is very powerful man and
will take no chances.

WASHINGTON, October 81. War
with Chill can only be declared by an
act Of Congress- but the President has
authority to recall Minister Egan and
suspend diplomatic relations with that
government. 1t is possible that the lat
tercourse viii be pursued after further
correspondence between Secretary
Blaine and the Minister Of foreign az
fairs at Santiago. A distinguished
Senator, who has served ON the COM
mittce on foreign relations, remarked
to-day that themost direct way to put
an end to the pending controversy
with Chill is to recall Minister Egan.
There is no doubt about Egan's UNI
popularity with the CHILEAN people, y
said the Senator. and he has dis
played remarkable lack Of diplomacy
in almost everything he has attempted
70 do since he was appointed. The I'M
wisdom Of his appointment has made
itself manifest ON more than one oc-
casion, but it is said the administra-
ton hesitates to relieve one Of its minis
tersunderfire. Thepresent conditioned
affairs may warrant such action, and
the suspension Of friendly relations
with the CHILEAN Junta may be thought
sufficient to uphold the dignity Of the
United States government
LONDON, October H.-The greatest
ferment exists in the South American
trade over the news from South
America. The general impression is
that Chill will fight, and that the
United States is now in a position
where it must fight or retreat with dis
honor.
No person Of responsibility has yet
been found who doubts that America
will come out foremost in the end, but
the general impression is that Chill
will have for the present decided adj
vantage. The sentiment of the mer-
camille houses trading with Chill is
strongly against war, and the nitrate
interests are also opposed To it, on the
ground that war might result in the
United States through an arrangement
with Peru getting control Of the nitrate
deposits; also, that war would have
the effect Of raising American prestige
in South America, to the detriment Of
England.
The change Of feeling since vester-
day is most significant. Then the
idea Of war was pooh-poohed. Now
the South American opinion in London
is exactly the reverse, and war is re-
garded as almost inevitable.

CHICAGO, October 3l.-The chief Of
construction Of the Worlds Fair has
ordered the contractors who are con-
structing the Worlds Fair buildings
70 double the force Of men now EN-
ployed on the buildings. The chief
of construction made The order impera-
tive, and said that they would have To-
work two shifts Of men eight hours
each, or make sixteen hours constitute
a days work.
The necessity of haste has been APP
parent for some time to number of
the Worlds Fair officials. Several
weeks ago Exposition officers visited
the grounds and discovered that on the
electricity buildings over 700 feet
long and nearly three hundred
feet wide, there were but forty-seven
men employed. On the manufactures
building, which is eighteen hundred feet
long and seven hundred feet wide, not
more than twice that number Of men
We're atwork. Throughout the grounds
a similar ratio Of workmen to the size
of the building prevailed. Since-that
time there has been careful survey
of matters going on, and it was de-
cided that the contractors would have
to increase their working forces one
hundred per cent.
The buildings actively under way,
and on which visible progress has been
made, are the mines and mining, cleo
tricity, manufactures, administration,
woman's, horticultural and transpor.
tation.

Education"
We say to the old mOnarchies OF the world:
Behold, democracy produces as its natural fruit
an educated people.
In his chapter on 'Pauperism and
Crime" Carnegie says:
The causes of the comparative freedom Of
America from pauperism are not far to seek. In
new country no one who is willing to work
need suffer from poverty.
His chapter on agriculture" hope
fully predicts, "For fifty years ahead,
at least, wO can see that America can
give Europe all the food it will re-
quire;" and yet our Kansan, G. Wood
Davis, of the same general school of
thinkers with Carnegie, assures us
that by 1895 the American people
will necessarily be importing aOheat
to meet their requirements in the
matter of daily food. Can't they
agree?
In the chapter on Manufactures"
our Scottish chief remarks:
The people must first take their political rights
and secure perfect equality under the laws.
Where Ill will has grown 1t Is the work Of hered-
itary rulers and military classes, not responsible
to the masses. The reign Of the democracy
means ultimately no less than the reign of peace
on earth, among men good will.
This man, now, in his seth year of
age, with properties counted in how
many millions can it be anything
else but tho cruelest mockery for this
political Pharisee to pirate about the
true meaning of democracy" which
he would instinctively reject and
which, in its normal workings, could
never have made it possible for him
to obtain such enormous acquisitions
in this so-called free and happy land,
where labor should have it's own?
Does it not seem like the coolest of
cool sarcasm for him to say, "The
people must first take their political
rights and secure perfect equality
under the laws"
His employees do it, under the
methods that for so long period of
time have been in vogue in the Key
stone state!
In his chapter on Mining" this
blossomed out democrat ~ gives
quite a description of his oil property,
Storey Farm, Oil creek, where he
says "$1, 100000 is rather good re-
turn upon an investment of $40,0O0p
Is it not indeed a good one?
But in his overwhelming enthusi-
asm over the mining resources
throughout this great republic he
bursts into Joy as follows:
Thank God, these treasures are IN the handS
of an intelligent people, the democracy, to be
used Cor the general good of the masses, and not
made the spOilS of mOnarchs, courts and arls-
tOcracy, to be turned to the base aud selfish ends
of privileged hereditary class.
Was irony ever more complete? Was
fiction ever more neatly substituted
for fsct3 Carnegie, in his chapter on
'Trade and Commerce." says:
The question Of free trade In America Is one
which will not be within the reach Of political
parties In the lives Of those now living. Far be

A"VNs OASAAAOS NSAAAAOn1 OAAO S~A Va ta4A
English country gentleman, was born
ON June 3, It'll, and, educated at Ok
ford, became a fellow Of this renowned
college. He was one of the founders
OF the Edinburgh ReuiesU, which ap-
peared in October, 1902, and he had
the reputation Of being one Of the
wittiest takers and one of the most
brilliant political writer's Of his gen.
GRAFTON. His attractive articles that
appeared in the Reviet0 for quarter
Of q century, were q main element in
It's success, and they represented the
very perfection of journalism. He
had the reputation of being q good
fighter, and ne tackled the gravest of
political and social questions in the
highest of spirits. His elementary
sketches of moral philosophy were
highly priced, and his political and
social essays attracted attention
among the intellectual toilers Of Great
Britain and elsewhere. He readily
conceded that his uttersnces might
meet the animadversions of the privi-
legged classes, and, to use his own
graphic language, he counted much
of his life work as treason against
the plousiocrscy." This dyssyllable,
Americsnized, may mean government
by the wealthy classes; people of
great wealth and influence generally,
as it may be considered in collective
or in an individual sense.
The special manifestation Of plousi-
ocracy in these United States Of
America is one who is not 'to the
manor born," but who had his birth
in Great Britain.
Andrew Carnegie, Pennsylvsnis's
most distinguished Republican plu-
tocrat, was born in Dumferline, Scot
land, on November rs, 1885. His
father, poor weaver, was assisted in
the matter of getting his family to
the United States in 1845, and they
came to Pittsburg. In 1847 the boy,
Andrew, was a sweeper, a general
factotum Of the office Of a Mr., Leech,
who was an agent for the Canal
Transportation Company, and from
that he became promoted to the posi-
tion of telegraph messenger, and
thus was thrown into relations with
Thomas A. Scott, who was then su-
perintendent of the western division
of the Pennsylvania railroad, from
Altoona to Pittsburg. He also had
messages to deliver to Herman j.
Lambert and Enooh Lewis, respect
lively general superintendent and chief
Of the motive power department of
the railway, and his acquaintance
with Thomas Davis, Mr.. Lambert's
private secretary, was of assistance
to him. Becoming telegraphic op-
orator he met Mr.. 7. T. Woodruff,
the inventor of the sleeping car, and
young Carnegie readily joined in
promoting the success of the inventor,

vote for a man In favor Of silver and protection,
or man In favor Of the gold standard and free

In his closing chapter on General
Reflections" this self-appointed
teacher pleasantly AYERS:
No party in America desires change In any of
the fundamental laws. II asked what important
law should change, must perfOrce say none;
the laws are perfect
Csrnegie's knowledge is so COM
plete as to give hirty-eight states
seventy-two United States Senators.
But the plousiocracy of the famous
author Of triumphant Democracy"
was very forcibly expressed in ARTICLES
in the North American RevIe.v, in
the months of June and December,
1889, entitled respectively, "Wealth"
and 'The Best Fields of Philan-
thropy." These blessed evangeIs
were republished in the London
PGU MaU Gazette under the more
benefcent and sacred title, "The Cos
pei of Wealth"
This eminent Scottish-American,
perhaps remembering that the late
lamented Garfield, in his brief ad-
dress to the business men of Cleve-
land, Ohio, in October, 1880, presented
the blessed (D theory that it was the
primary object Of government to
legislate in the interests of business
men, SO that they, forsooth, might
have kindly feeling toward, and
care for the numerous poor; for his
disciple at the coke, iron and steel
works had his "Gospel" rest upon the
clear and bold assumption that wealth
was best placed in the hands of the
few; the gospel" part of his message
being the duty of the few to -redis-
tribute their wealth in the interest
the many.
This belated gospel of Carnegie,
when contrasted with the great
Teachers sermon on the mount, may
perchance be taken as modern philan-
thropy or godliness. So here is a
choice moroccan taken therefrom for
attentive, serious consideration:
Thus Is the problem of rich and poor to be
solved; the laws of accumulation will be left
free; the laws of distribution Free Individual.
Ism will continue but the millionaire 1Vin be but
trustee for the poor; Intrusted for season with
q great part Of the increased wealth of the COM
munity, but administering 1t for the community
far better than it could or lVouId haze done for

This would be an assumption of q
guardianship Of the interests of the
impecunlous that would harmonic
with the averment that our own gov
ernment emsnstes from the people,
for the interest of the whole people,

down through the vista of years,
might not have exclaimed, 'The poor
ye always have with you," but "The
rich ye have with you always, world
without end"
