THE GILLIAN SITUATION.
1t is Said That the Itata Case VIII, not BE
Pressed.

The: Chilian situation is gradually assuming
stable character and less interest is mani
Tested in it in official circles since it
is taken Tor granted that the new
government with Gen. Mon:t at its
head is fully installed in the confidence of the
people. and all that is lacking TO an official
recognition by the various powers lis the perfec-
ton of the details OF government Minister
Egan has full instructions On that point, and
when he indicates to the United States that
the time is ripe FOR such action the State De-
partment will formally recognize the accred-
tied representatives of the Montt government,
at Washington and the cordial relations which
have always existed between the United States
and Chile will again be resumed.
As an evidence OF this it Is said that the
United States will not press the case of the
Itata. the insurgent vessel, which was
ibelled at San Diego, Cal, for furnishing
arms to the insurgent:: man-oI-war Esmeralda.
Mr.. Trumbull, prominently identified with the
insurgent side in the CHILEAN contest was i!
will be recalled, the supercargo on the Itata
and was indicted by the grand jury at San
Diego. He is now in Washington. 1t is
alleged in official circles that to continue the
prosecutions under the changed conditions OF
affairs would be to exhibit a feeling of I'M
triendliness to the Montt government.
Attorney General Miller refuses to say wha,
action the United States government viii take
in the Itata matter CIR to discuss the changed
conditions.

MATTERS OF FOREIGN GOSSIP.
Probable Effect Of the Trades Union Con-
s,ress at Newcastle.


LONDON, Sept. 8.--The trades union congress
at Newcastle, which opened yesterday, prom
ises to have an important influence on the
future course Of English politics. The large
number of labor candidates for parliamen mt
who are in training for the next general cleo
ton has already caused eerious anxiety to the
liberal leaders, who do not favor this sort of
representation and think that the workingmen
ought TO be Satisfied to accept reforms at the
hands of tho liberal party. Mr.. Gladstone
himself is said to feel his way and while he
does not oppose he gives no active personal
encouragement to labor candidates. Among
the trades unions there Is a strong feeling that
workingmen should be directly represented in
parliament i'll order TO secure desired changes
iii the laws. and that the liberals ought to be
willing to receive the labor representatives
with open arms. This subject will be fully dis
cusaed In the congress.
RUSSIAN NAVAL aIANEUvEcs.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says that the
Russian naval manouvcrs will be unusually
interesting this year. Tho plan of operations is
based on the assumption of blockade of the
Gulf of Finland by an cncmy's squadron. 1t
Is supposed that hostile fleet has already made
itself master of the Baltic and is cngaged in the
double task of blOckading the Gulf of Finland
from Cronstadt and damaging the commerce
OF the neighboring posts by capturing the
coasting vessels. The Russian fleet, consc-
quently. finds itself compelled to defend the
chief Finnish posts, aud is directed with view
to that object The Russian ships will be dis
tributed among the islands of the Finnish
archipelago.
ACTIVITY IN RUSSIAN CAMPS
A dispatch from Odessa tells of great
amount Of activity displayed in the different
military camps in south Russia during the sum-
mer just passed. Every battalion for more
than eighty or one hundred days has been en-
gagged In tactical exercises, and during the last
month work has been carried on as If on the
battlefield. The maneuvers have shown, how
ever, some weak points in the Russian armor.

Heavy Selling In Chicago for New York
Account Depresses Prices.
CHICAGO Sept s.-The wheat market opened
weak and lower this morning on heavy re-
ceipts of wheat, lower cables and heavy selling
for New York account. Later good buying
put the price up. and for a time they showed
some strength. December started at 1915, one
cent and half below Yesterdays closing
prices. 1t declined rapidly. dropping to 9Ssss,
and then advanced on heavy selling to ssJs, at
which price it was quoted at IL o'clock.
The corn pit was very dull today. Everybody
seemed to be afraid to trade in that commodity.
There were no buying orders to speak of and
no news that would have any bearing on the
market October started g lower at 5Sx, ad-
vanced to 5914 at II o'clock.
Oats were very duh and the trading light,
fluctuations being within o range of Il cent.
Provisions started in strong and advancing,
but later went all to pieces, falling off consid-
erably from the opening figures. Little de-
mand and sympathy with wheat caused the
break.
The decline was most noted in pork, which
opened at 1l.751. for October, then declined to
1860. 1t became firm later and advanced to
IL. 10 at II o'clock.

The internal revenue bureau has been con-
sidering for some time the ACCESSIBILITY and prsc-
ticability Of adopting what is known as the
weighing system for the Official determination
OF the quantity of spirits placed N casks and
packages This system, if adopted. will take
the place Of the presen. one by which the con-
tents of cask is determined by the Use of :he
gauging instruments as now precticeG. The
law makes II the duty of the Commissioner to
prescribe rules and regulations for a uniform
system of weighing, marking, gauging and in
spection Of spirits. The commissioner desires
to adopt the best means attninable to secure
that system which is the most correct Ii
seems to be universally conceded by all con-
versant with the two systems that that of
weighing is much more accurate.

letter from DR.. VIM. L. Russell of New Yori
city asking for the free entry of package con-
sisting of publications by the Ladies Sanitary
Association of London. dealing with sanitary
matters. They were intended for distribution
among the tenement house poor. and were sent
to the doctor as samples for the purpose of
assisting him in investigating the applicability
of his work among those people. The package
was detained at the custom house for payment
of duty at rs per cent ad valorem. Acting Sec.
rotary Spaulding in reply has informed DR..
Russell that the Treasury Department has no
authority under the law for permitting the
free entry OF the books. Notwithstanding the
laudable purpose for which they are intended.
