ior Washington City at any moment, to
have q formal talk over the question Of
reciprocity with Canada with Secretary
Blaine and the British minister. II
appears that Secretary Blaine has given it
TO be understood that he will not recon-
mend the appointment Of commission ON
behalf of the United States until he is
furnished with some substantial proof that
the Canadian and British delegates are not
going to Washington City with some i'm
practicable scheme trumped up to carry
out the pledges made to the electors in
Canada during the late campaign without
any serious belief that the negotiations
would come to anything. From what can
be gathered, Secretary Blaine has COM
municated to Macdonald, through the
British minister, that he will not enter
into formal conference until Canada's
representatives have informally discussed
the question with him.

BERLIN. March 21.-The Chilean govern.

Hamburg, several fast steamers. 1T is an
nounced that these vessels will be fully
equipped as cruisers and will be EMPLOYED
by the government to operate against the
insurgents.
LONDON, March 21.--A dispatch from
Santiago de Chile to the Times saws: Con-
siderable excitement is caused by the re-
port from Buenos Ayres that President
Balmaceda's new war vessels. the Ad.
miral, Luncew and Condel, which were at
Buenos Ayres, have escaped the cruisers
sent to intercept them, and they map
shortly be taking an active part in the
struggle now going on in this country.
The whole population, nitrate syndi-
Gates, foreign capitalists and clergy, except
in the province of Tarapica, side with
President Balmaceda. There is no anal
ogy between the troubles now going on in
the Argentine Republic and the troubles
here. The president and ministers have
guaranteed that funds shall be deposited
in Europe for payment in full of the inter-
est upon the national debt 1t is believed
the delay in the suppression Of the troubles
here are only due to the hesitation of the
government, and that crushing the insur-
rection is only question of few weeks.

We put back, and the man in charge of the

dropped in, having seen our signal. While
we were safe all the time, We knew our
people would be greatly distressed, as no

RoME, March ol.-The German govern
ment continues its efforts to draw Italy
into q European zollverein against the
protectionist states. In the present Ital-
ian politics and finances, however, this
government hesitates to respond to Ger
manys offer. being doubtful of the wis
dom of sacrificing her trade with France
and America, which in 1889 amounted to
$l5, 200, for the constantly declining
trade Of Germany and Austria, which
amounted to only $3,5O0.0OO. The Italia
thinks the coming conference between
German and Italian railroad officials will
be the first step toward zollverein.
