CHILL Is RUEFLED.

The Presidents Treatment of the Baltf.
more Incident Causes Comment in Chill
The Little Republic Seems to Havd
Her Hands Full, as She Also Has q Row
On Hand with Spain,
VALPARAISO, Dec. 10.-The substance
of President Harrisen's statement of
CHILEAN affairs was received yesterday,
and is subject of universal comment
1t is regarded by the ChilIans as decid-
edly menacing a rupture between the
two countries, as it is not believed that
the Gillian government will consent
either to apologize or to offer any ma
terial indemnity. The majority in
congress is known to be opposed
to any concession, and the CHILEAN
government, although possessed of
great influence, would find it diff
cult to carry the necessary support
for any humiliating measures. 1t is
now no secret that the government is
proceeding actively with warhke pre-
parations, and that artillery of the lat
est manufacture has been ordered from
Germany in anticipation of hostilities
possibly with other powers and proba-
bly, with the United States. The stua-
ton is complicated by Spain's demand
for a large indemnity. The Chilians
have always detested the Spaniards,
and the hatred is quickened by
this demand, which the Chilians
say is presented now in order
to take advantage of existing
difficulties. The general sentiment in
dictates that they would challenge
Spain, if they had not the United States
to deal with. and an American official
expressed the opinion yesterday that
the Chilians might conclude to settle
with America in order to defy the
Spaniards.
Capt. Schley last evening declined
to express any opinion for the public as
to the presidents message, but it was
evident that he was pleased with it.

OUR SILVER DOLLAR.
The Percentage OF Alloy in Our Standar
Coins.

The Percentage OF Alloy in Our Standard
Coins.
The weight of pure silver in our
silver dollar has never been decreased
particle; it always has contained
three hundred and seventy-one and
one-quarter grains of pure silver. In
1887. in order to adopt the handy
French decimal system of alloy. we
put exactly one pound less copper in
two thousand dollars. Thus, when you
hear anyone speak of the debasement
of the United States silver dollar, re-
member that all we have to ask for
giveness for is this trif1e, which is al
lowed by the constitution of the United
States The sin of debasement, if one
can call it debasement, was commit
ted in 1884 on our gold coins, bv reduc-
ing them about six and one-quarter per
cent. Had they reduced the gold coin
only half as much it would have been
an act strongly Endorsed to-day, but
now unwise to adopt. In 1887. min
ute fraction of gold was added to the
weight of the coin for convenience in
mint calculations. These two, the
gold dollar of twenty-five and eight
tenths and the silver dollar of ALAS
grains of standard metal, meaning
that each thousand parts of coin were
alloyed with one hundred parts of cop
per, were the basis dollars on which
the government was conducted from
1887 to 1878. The issue of green backs
did not disturb these coined dollars.
These were the legal coins our laws
referred to in the issue of all national
bonds sold during our war of secession.
These were the coined dollars which
we promised to pay in the redemption
of our green backs. In 1869. in an act
passed to strengthen our public credit,
we find this clause: 1.-THE United
States solemnly pledges its faith to
make provision at the earliest prac-
ticable period for the redemption of
United States notes in COIN In all
these laws the word gold is not used,
but it is always coin We kept coin
ing these silver dollars, to limited
extent, all through the war, although
the silver in them was worth nearly
four per cent more than the gold in
the gold dollar. In 1S71-73 we coined
more than two and half millions of
these silver dollars, each of which con-
siderably exceeded the gold dollar in
value. John A. Grier, in Lippincott's-

CLAIMS AGAINST CHILL.
The Report of Foreign Minister Malta to-
the CHILEAN Congress.

The Report of Foreign Minister Malta to-
the CHILEAN Congress.
New YORK, Dec. IA special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso
says Foreign Minister Malta has made
a report to congress relative to the
claims made against Chilli by foreigners,
in which he says the government is not
bound in duty to administer strict.
justice. The Gillian ministry, how
ever, he adds, rejects all attempts
to formulate claims which at times
have been allowed in America,
owing to the circumstances un--
der which the government against
whom such claims We're preferred, were
placed.toward those in whose favor they
were formulated. To countenance the
present attempts would be to create in
favor of foreigners privileges that are
allowed neither by state nor interna-
tional law. While there is no doubt, he
concludes, that the claims of prominent
British merchants are in several cases
greatly exaggerated. still, in the end,
the Gillian government can not refuse
to pay large portion of the claims
made for the sacking and looting of
Valparaiso. Vina Del Mar and Santiago,
as well as for damages as to the nation

New YORK, Dec .12.--Although a
week has passed since the crank ex-

head. There were only a few visitors
to the morgue yesterday to view the

head there were some that identified it
