by actual events she looked upon it as a
matter of course. She could give no reason
for her prediction except that the weather
and the appearance of the sun impressed
her with the belief that an earthquake

WASHINGTON, d. c., September Is
two hours this morning the PreSi-
l, was I'm consultation with the rep
,sDtatives OF the State and Navy de-
|arments. Secretary Tracy, who ar
we'd in Washington last night nearly a
sk before the date fixed for his re-
mn. came to the White House early in
-s day. He was Joined bY Acting Sec
s.sry Wharton Of the Department OF
late and Gen. John w. Fos-
y, and later by Commodore
|ausay, chief Of the Navigation
-reau, who had been summoned for
y the purpose. While no official In
|,-mati0n on the subject can be obtain
{, there is reason to believe that the
linuistration is confronted with the
s,i0us and perhaps threatening aspect
affairs IN Chilli. Since last Friday
kilograms cOuched in cipher have been
iSing Washington and Valparaiso.
[-e officials OF the State and Navy de-
(rtnents, through whose hands these
kilograms have passed, refuse 10 make
-sir contents public. 1t is gathered,
oEeyer, that theyurelate to affairs in
1.i, aud that serious complications
ave arisen between the Junta and the
lted States representatives in that
|.Intry.
It's assumed that Commodore Ram
,7 was called into the consultation by
be President for the purpose Of ex-
aiming the exact extent Of the re-
irces Of the navy.
iiS cOnjectured here that the mat
rs under consideration at the confer
pee were statements from Minister
Ian and Capt. Schley of recent occur
41ces in Chilli, which are also conjec-
-'ed TO accord with the special dis
a'cheS from Valparaiso printed in the
Psw York Herald this morning.
Just what Captain Sohley had to COM
H-licate 70 the Navy Department can
/ be earned from any OF the officials
iit is Surmissed that IL related to the
'-aiment Of refugees, or that the bitter
I-d-American sentiment in Chilli result
s from the seizure Of the Itata has re-
I'alsd itself In hostile and unfriendly
F1onStratiOns toward the officers and
len Of the Baltimore. However this
ay be IL is certain that the officials OF
state and Navy Department are not
armed at the situation and II the con-
t''ence was called TO devise means Of
--setng any emergency, it is apparent
.--' the persons who PARTICIPATED are
iaaShed that this has been done.

FOOLSCAP PAPER.

Everybody knows what "fools-
cap" paper is, but everybody
does not know ahOw it came to
bear that name. In order to in
crease his revenue Charles I
granted certain privileges a.
mounting to monopolies and
among these was the manufac-
ture of paper, the exclusive
right of which was sold to GER
tain parties, who grew rich, and
enriched the Government at the
expense of tho'e. who were
obliged to use paper. AT that
time all English paper bore the
royal arms in watermarks. The
Parliament under Cromwell
made sport of this law in every
possible manner, and among
other indignities to the memory
of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed
from the paper, and that fools
cap and bells should be used as
a substitute. When the RumI
Parlimeut was prorogued these
were also removed; but paper
of the size of the Parliamentary
journals, which is usually abou
seventeen by fourteen inches
still bears name of "fooiscap.'-
