The Chilean Congress Expected 10 Stand
by The Foreign Minister.
Efforts 10 Enlist Peruvian Sailors in the
Chilean NaYy-Rights Of
Refugees.
Special 10 THE MORNING CALL..

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Herald's Val
paraiso correspondent says the Herald's
editorial Of December 18th, regarding the
occasion for war, called forth much praise
In Chile. The correspondent says nothing
can be more gratifying to the people than
the appointment of a committee of Congress
to fully investigate the relations between
the TWO countries.
Regarding yesterdays story about young
EGan the correspondent says he had an in-
terview to-day with Minister Egan, who
said early this year Bernstein, asent of the
construction company, died, and Vice
President Mcdonald wrote Egan, asking
him to accept powers of attorney. Egan re-
fused. The document was then sent to
Frank Egan, but was never acted upon.
Minister of Public Works Edwards in his
report to the Chilean Congress calls atten-
tion to the digraceful work of this company
and asks a full judicial investiga-
tIon. He also sustains the contention
of the. Junta as to its right to
post sentres in the streets adjace IT
TO the American and Spanish Legations.
Senior Leal, the new Spanish Minister.
will sustain the conduct OF his predecessors
relative to the protection of refugees. The
correspondent says there is no foundation
for the report that an attack on the Ameri-
can Legation is projected, or that three
men were shot by order of a court-martial
The Herald's Callao PERU special says
The cruiser Baltimore sails tomorrow for
San Francisco. The tone of Minister Matta's
dispatch in reply to President HarrisOn's
message is regarded with aStOnish-
ment here and the probable course
of the United States Government is
discussed earnestly. The most conservative
English opinion seems to be that the rela-
lions between Chile and the United States
are so strained that Chile must retreat or
confront the inevitable. The general i'm
preston here is that Chile intends to stand
by Malta. 1t is a well-known fact that
Chile is trying TO enlist men for her feet
The Herald's Buenos Ayres cable says:
AdvceS received to-day from Rio Grande
do Sui, Brazil, confirm the report Of a re-
newal Of the revolt there. II is now said
that the insurreclion threatens to assume
even larger proportions than at first eX-
pected, as rival military chiefs are engaged.

tions. kilograms and presents from all

The room was jammed full cf flowers.
The HaVerhill Board of Trade sent box

Sale Academy eighty-four plnks in box,
and the students of Wellesley eighty-f four
punches Of violets beautifully arranged.
From San Francisco came a gold pin; from
Winchester. Va, paper-cutter made of
the wood from old Fort London, built by
Washington. An aid in full uniform
brought the congratulations of his Excel
lency the Governor Harvard and Yale
sent their congratulations, beautifully ex-
pressed, by special messenger. The
Chambers of Commerce of Boston, Port
land, New Haven, Lowell and Portsmouth
sent handsome presents. A delegation of
students from Vassar, Wellesley and La
Sale waited on the poet. 1t took two
hours tn read the kilograms received. The
day was cold but sunny, and everything
seemed to enter into the spirit of the oc-
casOn. 1t was dark before Mr. Whittier
reganed his usual privacy, but he seemed
not particle fatIgued.

and Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Baraaby to her
home in the Adirordacks. During her visit
Mrs. Barnaby said she had left DR.. Graves
$4,000 in her first will. She thought this

letter in which DR.. Graves threatened to
