urally the excellent navy which she
had been enabled TO build came into
play.
Trouble arose between Chill and
her next neighbor, Bolivia, about the
nitrate beds and guano deposits which
had attracted fereign capitalists In
swarms. The mines were in Bolivia,
but CHILEAN capitalists, operating,
doubtless, for foreigners, were work
ing them under treaty stipulations.
Bolivia imposed export duties on the
nitrates.
Peru was supposed by the Chilians
TO have instigated this action, with a
view to suppressing the competition
OF Chilli in the nitrate and guano
trade, which in Peru was an inn
mensely profitable Government mo-
nopoly.
Chili's protest against the export
duty was listened TO, but shortly
afterward the Bolivians conflscated
the CHILEAN mine property, and war
was imminent.
| Arbitration was proposed, but fell
through, and Chill went to war with
Peru and Bolivia, and whipped them
both. The little nation crowed so
loudly that she was heard in Europe,
and England gave her much praise.
1t was i'm connection with the set
Element of the peace between Chill
and the beaten countries that the
United States first got revelation OF
,Chilfs aggressiveness and ugly spirit
OF opposition to everything favored
by Uncle Sam.

memberment of Bolivia. In the frs
country there were important Ameri

William II. Coleman, Chairman OF
the Vigilance Committees Of 1851,
$50 and 1T, writes as follows on this
topic in the Century: "The next Inn
portant work was the action TO be
taken with regard TO notorious ballot
box suffers and other desperate char
acters. They were curse to the
country. Every one admitted 1t. bat
no effective action had been taken
against them. In many cases they
held the polls at election and at
tackled, manned and terrified those
voters who were opposed TO their
friends. III arrested, such was the
dread they had inspired, and so great
their influence with the courts, that
conviction was almost impossible.
This immunity from punishment in
creased their insolence and violence,
and it was evident that no reform
could be made while they remained In
the State. What was to be done with
them? They could not be hanged;
they would be a source of expense and
trouble; safe and satisfactory impris-
onment was plainly impracticable. 1t
was therefore suggested that IL, after
fair trial, the charges against them
were proved, no course would be sc
satisfactory and safe as Punishment,
with a warming never again to return
under pain of death. This was adopt
ed, and a blacklist was made Of all
these notorious characters. Evidence
was collected, and orders were soon
given for the arrest of these men
wherever they could be found in the
State. They were tried, convicted,
sentenced and deported, many OF
them as first-class passengers, by sail
ing ships and steamships, at the sole
expense of the committee, and in a
style far above their deserts; this was
not appreciated, but flattered and
exalted them to the belief that they
were important personages and hao
suffered great damage, and they
brought suits against the committee
Singularly, or perhaps naturally, these
suits were only brought by those who
were best treated. Those who were
shipped in the steerage never brought
suits, and were never afterwarc
troublesome.

Chilli has grown more ana more ag-
gressive, and had it not been for her
internal troubles would already have
tried some coup todiminish the grad
ually reviving influence Of this coun-
try in South America.
The vainglorious dream of Chill is
that II she could draw the country
into a fight, she could quickly worst
her in a naval encounter. She would
then, during the negotiations for
peace, demand foreign protectorate,
would throw herself into the arms OF
England and Germany and would
thereafter be free to operate as she
pleased against the policy OF the
United States in South America.
Thus those nations which have most
interest in checking the development
Of our policy would gain their point,

doubt, too, there were many smaller
things that contributed toward the
result. Perhaps the Chilians did not
understand the motives that guided
the course of the United States.
It is certain that their anger was
causelessly aroused to a high pitch
when the false report was spread
about that Balmaceda had taken pas
sage to the United States on the Unit
ed States steamer San francisco, the
flagship Of Rear Admiral Brown, who
commanded our squadron in Chillan
waters. Again, the impression OBJ
tanned among Chilians, with equal
lack of real basis, that our flag in
Chill gave improper protection to the
members of Balmaceda's party against
the Justice or the vengeance of the
Junta.
So the Junta came into power with
feelings Of mistrust toward the great
republic and of ill-will toward its citi-
zens and traders resident in Chill.
This, however, can not be considered
an excuse for Chilis course in regard
to the outrage upon ourA-unarmed
sailors.
The attack on our sailors was fol-
lowed by demand for an explanation
by the United States Minister. The
reply of the Junta was expressed II
strong language. 1t practically
amounted to refusal to accept re
sponsibility for the affair and assigned
the matter to the civil channels o
decision and adjudication. The tom
of the reply was great surprise Z
this country.

Lost HIS Job by Telling the Truth.

A preacher in Iowa lost his pulpit
for telling the truth. He was a forci-
BILE preacher, but deficient in educa-
cation and occasionally committed
some grave misdemeanors in gram
mar. One Sunday while speaking
rapidly he made gross assault on
Lindley Murray. No sooner had the
sentence escaped his lips than he
stopped and said; Il am aware that
my education is deficient. l regret
that / did not have the advantage of
good schools when boy. Ii i had
been more fortunate / would now be
preaching to a more intelligent con-
gregation." The minister told the
truth, but it was the last time he
preached in that church. Adj

1t is natural that the Congression-
alists should feel somewhat bump
tious just now, and at this moment
they are ready to fight the United
States rather than to admit that kill
ing and wounding American sailors is
an offense which must be apologized
for. This party will have abundant
moral support form those European
powers anxious to see the United
States get a substantial setback In
South America.
The active army of Chilli comprises
in normal times $40 officers and 6,67l
men. The National Guard, which
can readily be put into the field,
comprises AZ, 12O infantry and 500
artillery, so that Chill can easily put
so, 900 troops into the field.
AS Chill would depend almost en-
tirely on her navy in case of a fight,
a comparison of her naval force with
that of our own may be of interest.

State Department may have acted
with promptness and vigor, but the
question arises, What are we going
to do about it?"
The unfortunate affair which Is the
immediate cause of the threatened
trouble occurred in the streets OF Val
paraiso on Oct. IS. A party OF sailors
from the United States cruiser Baiti-
more, which lies at anchor in that
harbor, were attacked by Il mob while
on shore. The ChiliaEs were armed
with knives and pistols, while the
American sailors were unarmed, as
became men whose present acts and
intentions were peaceable. In the
fight Charles Riggin, boatswains
mate, was dragged from n street car
by a mob and shot to death. Five
-other men were dangerously wounded
with knives and bayonets. One was
wounded so severely that he afterward
died.
Thirty-five other sailors were ar
rested 10y main force, dragged through
the streets of the city and locked up.
There can be no doubt that the at
tack was the result of the hatred OF
Americans and the United States
that has been growing afresh among
the CHILEAN populace ever since the
tide of affairs in the civil war turned
against Balmaceda. 1t is apparent
now from the proportions which this
feeling has attained that its spread
