Relations With Chile Little Strained
Minister Esgan Defended.
The work of the state department dur
ing the last year has been characterized
by an unusual number of important nego'
tiations and by diplomatic results of q
notable and highly beneficial character.
Among these are the reciprocal trade ar
rangements, which have been concluded
in the exercise of the powers conferred by
section of the tariff law with the repub'
lie of Brazil, with Spain for its West India
possessions and with San Domingo. Like
negotiations with other countries have
been much advanced, and II is hoped that
before the close of the year further def
mite trade arrangements of great value
will be concluded

Valparaiso Tragedy.

On the 10Th of October an event occurred
in Valparaiso so serious and tragic in its
circumstances and results as to very Justly
excite the Indignation of our people and
to call for prompt and decided action on
the part of this government. A consider
able number of the sailors of the United
States ship Baltimore, then in the har-
Dor of Valparaiso, being upon short
leave and unarmed were assaulted
by armed men nearly multaneously
in different localities in the city.
One petty officer was killed outright and
seven or eight seamen were seriously
wounded, one OF whom has since died. So
savage and brutal was the assault that
several Of our sailors received more than
two, and one as many as eight stab
wounds. An investigation Of the affair
was promptly made by board of officers
of the Baltimore, and their reports show
that these assaults were unprovoked
that our men were conducting themselves
In peaceful and orderly manner, and
that some of the police of the city took
part in the assault and used their weap-
ons with fatal effect, while few others
with some well disposed citizens, endeav-
ored to protect our men.
Thirty-six OF our sailors were arrested
and some of them, while being taken 10
prison, were cruelty beaten and NAL
treated. The fact that they were all dis
charged, no criminal charge being lodged
against any one of them, shows very
clearly that they were innocent of any
breach Of the peace. So far as have yet
been able t. learn no other explanation OF
this bloody work has been suggested than
that it had its origin In hostility to those
men as sailors of the United States, wear
ing the uniform of their government, and
not in any individual act or personal
animosity. The attention of the Chilean
government WINS at once called to this af-
fair, and q statement Ut the facts obtained
by the investigation we had conducted
was submitted, accompanied by a request
to be advised of any other or qualifying
facts in the possession of the Chilean gov
crnment that might lend to relieve this af.
fair of the appearance OF an insult to this
government The Chilean government
was also advised that, IL such qualifying z
facts did not exist, this government would
confidently expect full and prompt rcpara-
tion. II is to be regretted that the reply
of the secretary of foreign affairs Of the
provisional government was couched in
an offensive tone. To this no response
has been made. This government Il now
awaiting the result OF an Investigation,

Kind Words of Advertising.

The following truthful pen picture of one phrase of the editors life is going the rounds of the press, under the head, "Encoragc the Editor"
 As a rule the editor gets . thou sand kicks to one caress. Once in q while he gets a kind word, and it warns and cheers his storm beaten, weather-crackcd heart to its inner most care. Most people are afraid to tell all editor when he writes an article that particularly pleascs them for fear of making him proud, we suppose, but if they find anything that does not accord precisely with their views they will neglect their business to hunt him up aud tell him of it. Pshaw, dear friends, don [ think you will spoil the editor by giving him an occasional word of cheer any more than you will spoil your child by compIimenting her upon a piece of patchwork she has finished. Of course you could beat the job yourself, but that doesn', de ter you from giving words of encour- agemcnt to the child. IL has don, its best. So you could doubtless beat the average editor running a news paper, Of course you can. He only does it because you have not time to, but this fact need not deter you from giving him a word of en- couragement occasionally.-- Chica- 90 News.
