WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--The bureau of
American republics is informed that the
present crop of wheat and wool in the
Argentine Republic are said to be the
largest ever known in that country, and
the railway companies are preparing for
busy season, to recoup themselves for
the great falling off in business during
the financial depression. 1t is stated
that there is no line of railway in the
country that has rolling stock enough
to carry the products TO market. " Q
immense crops have also caused re-
vival of immigration, and thousands Of
foreigners are now arriving at Buenos
Ayres seeking employment in the agri-
cultural districts during the harvest.
Wages have been doubled and trebled,
and even quadrupled in sJme districts

of La Grippe.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 15.-Mr. Lemuel
Richards committed suicide by hanging
at his home, No, $50 Astor street. Three
weeks ago he had a severe attack of la
grippe, from which his physician
thought he could not recover. He re-
covered sufficiently, however, to be able
to get out, but his family noticed that
he was very respondent, and that his
mind was not clear.
Mr.. Richards was seventy years of
age. He was born in Boston and came
west when a young man. He was a
prominent member of Summertield
Methodist church of this city, and an
official member of the society. He leaves

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The bureau of
American republics is informed that but
fourty- mine lhiles remain to be construct
ed of the railway, that is to connect
Buenos Ayres with Valparaiso. AT q
meeting of the directors in London, it
was announced that 157 miles We're now
open for traffic If it had not been for
the Barring ilure, it is believed that the
road would hare been finished at the pres
ent time, but the work of construction,
which was suspended for time. has
been begun with renewed vigor and the
directors promise that it shall be pushed

The mountain section, which is 149
miles in length, involves very heay =
work, and necessitates a large number
of tunnels, many Of them in the regiJ1
of perpetual snow, more than 10,000 feet
above the sea. The mountain section is
to be worked partly by adhesion on
gradients of 1872 feet to the mile, and
partly (the locomotives being geared so
that they enter upon the track witho'1t
stopping) by the use of toothed wheels
over gradients, the maximum of which
is 8 per cent. or 422 feet per mile.

DOM PEDRO,s REMAINS.
They win Probably Bo Finally Buried in
Brazil.


RIO JANEIRo, Dec. 15.-It is stated
authoritatively that the Brazilian gov
ernment will present no remonstrance
to France in the subject of Dom Pedro's
obsequies, although urged by the ex-
tremen republican element to do 80.
The government considers that Dom
Pedro was a private person of distinc-
ton, and that a certain amount Of
public display at his funeral would not
have been amiss, but that the extension
of imperial honors was unjust to Brazil,
but that the question is not of sufficient
importance to make an issue.
Negotiations are going on relative to
the burial of Dom Pedro in Brazil, and
if this is consented tc the remains OF the
empress will likewise be removed here.
The Gremio Militaire and Centre Naval
clubs have passed resolutions endorsing

A WAR WITH chilli
Is What Certain Britishers
Think Wen Soon Have.
No Information at the London
Chilian Legation.

Chilians in London Speak of the United
States in Tone of Contempt and Ha-
tired, and Apparently Feel Capable OF
Giving Uncle Samuel the Worst of II
in Case of War.
LONDON, Dec. 10. - Among South
American firms in this city there is a
pronounced impression that war is inn
pending between the United States and
Chill. That opinion is not based SO
much on the tone of President HarIi-
sons message as upon advices from Val
paraiso that leaves no doubt as to the
temper of the Chilians.
A dispatch received on Friday by one
of the leading houses cautiously warned
the firm here to keep its business trans
actions within conservative lines. 1t
seems to be in the air among the South
American colony in London that Chili's
greatest struggle since her war for indie
pendence is not at a great distance, and
this sort of barometer has never failed
before in South American matters.
Preparing for Something.
There is no doubt that Chill is negoti-
ating for artillery and other supplies in
Germany. This is explained by the pre-
tense that during the Balmaceda dicta-
torship the forts and their equipment
were allowed to run down. But it is
answered that if the prospect was
peacable there would not be such a
hurry to restore the Notifications to
greater strength than before, Chilians
smile when spoken to on the subject,
but keep a close reserve. At the Chilian
legation no information whatever can be
obtained. This is very different from
the situation under Balmaceda, when
the legation was rather desirous to give
news, true or false, to the public. 1t is
rumored that both here and on the con-
tinent retired naval officers of good rep
utation have been approached on the
subject of entering the Chilian service.
They Hate Us.
Whatever Chilians may say elsewhere,
here they speak of the United States in
a tone of contempt and hatred, and ap-
parently feel themselves entirely capable
of defeating the Americans. There is no
concealmen, of this feeling, which is, as
a general thing, received with satisfac-
ton by the &ristrocratic English classes
in which South Americans move. 1t isl
but fair to say, however, that the British
merchants with Chilian trade are, for
obvious reasons, in favor of peace.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 15.-At 2:30

masked men broke into the jail at Way
cross for the purpose of lynching Wei
come Golding, the leader Of riot at
Varus' sawmill, in which a white man
was killed, and Elijah Cheaves, a negro,
charged with the murder of Sheriff Cul-
pepper, of Ware county. The prisoners
heard them coming and clung to the
sides of their cells, and made no reply to
questions put to them by the mob. The
mob must have had no lights, for they
riddled the empty beds of the prisoners
with bullets, and left, thinking they had
killed their men. The prisoners, who
were still clinging to the sides of the
cage, escaped unhurt.

viii Not Wait for Death.

BERLIN, Dec 15.-The subject of a re-
gency for Mecklenburg-S -Schwerin, which
has been put off from time to time on
account of the expected death of the
grand duke, is again urged, and with
such general support that it is believed
that Duke John Albert will soon re-
ceive the appointment. John Albert is
major in the Potsdam Hussars of the
imperial guard, and is favorite of the
kaiser, who strongly favors regency.
The present grand duke is a confirmed
invalid, and lives about half the year in
the south of France. He is unable TO
attend to any state business, and it is
claimed that the affairs of the grand
duchy suffer by his absence and disabili-
ty. An international question enters
into the affair, the grand duke being
under Russian influences, while the pro-
posed regent is firmly attached to Ger

SANTIAGO, Dec. 15.-El FeTocarril,

says in its editorial columns that it sup.

tone of President Harrison's message,

which, the editor claims, was forwarded
to Washington. He goes on to say that
he feels confident that the people and
the government of the United States will
alter their ideas ON the subject, when all
the facts become fully known.
Captain Schley, upon the intercession
of Judge of Crimes Foster, released the
two Baltimore seamen, McWilliams and

agree with me: Now, Mr.. Foster has

Mr.. Harrison has refused to issue an
