in with glass and steam pipes put in. From
that time the horses have been going

NEW YORK. Dec 9.-The annual meeting
of the National Trotting-h horse Breeders
Association was held here to-day. H. w.
I. Mali presided. The treasurer's report
showed balance of S7,241.S2. The execu-
tive committee made report regarding it's
dealings with John H. Wallace, compiler of
the Trotting horse Register. The incorpo-
ration of the American Trotting Register
Association had absorbed the Wallace
Trotting Register Company, and accom-
plshed the end which the National Breed
ers' ASSOCIATION bad sought so long. and al
though the latter association has nothing
in common with the new organization. q
committee had also been appointed to con-
fer with the National and American Trot-
ting Association with reference to securing
unity of method in accepting new records.

Breeders practically organized the new
body in Chicago last April. With the ander-
standing that it was TO have charge of the

thinks has been monopolized by the syndi-
cate of wealthy breeders composing
the American Trotting Register Associa-
tion. The committee declares that at the
meeting of representative breeders in Chi
cago last April, when the project to relieve
John III. Wallace of the contract of the
Register assumed material shape. it was in
ferentially undecided that the National As
sociatIOn of TrottIng e horse Breeders would
succeed to such rights as had been i'm the
hands Of Mr.. Wallace. The national breed
eIs have been ignored instead by the syndi-
cate. 1t is claimed that the latter have
adopted q rule allowing PAGERS with a
record of 2:25 or better to be registered as
trotters. The national breeders say they
have had an honorable existence for fifteen
years and are entitled to fair treatment

How Chilians View the Message.

VALPARAISO. Dec. 9.-The substance of
President HarrisOn's statement of the Val
paraiso affair was received to-day. and is
the subject of universal comment 1t is re-
garded by the Chilians as decidedly menao-
ing q rupture between the two conn
tries, as it is not believed that the
Chilian government will consent to any
apologies or to pay indemnity. 1t is
now no secret that the government is
proceeding actively with warlike prepara-
tions and that artillery of the latest manu-
facture has been ordered from Germany IN
anticipation of hOstilities. possibly with
other powers and probably with the United
States. The situation is complicated by
Spain's demand for large indemnity. The
Chilians have always detested the Span
iards and the hatred is quickened by this
demand. which the Chilians say Is pre-
sented now In order to take advantage of
existing difficulties. The general sentl-
ment indicates that they would challenge
Spain if they had not the United States to
deal with. and an American official ex-
pressed the OPINION to-day that the Chill
ians might conclude to settle with America
in order TO defy the Spaniards.
A dispatch from London says: The Times
to-day publishes q dispatch from its cor
respondent at Santiago De Chill stating
that THE insulting notes written to the
government by Mr.. Egan. the United States
minister 10 Cniii, anC MS own tclegraDls 10

bate was had on the question. The gov
ernment declined To support the proposal.

abolishing the legation at Washington

Over 500 Yards for the East Room.
special the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Carpet-layers ara
busy up stairs in the White House, putting
down the new carpet in the corridor. The
new carpet of which about four hundred
yards were required, is in keeping with tho
general artistic treatment of the house. 10
has a ground of moss-green, with q small
figure of deep cream or buff color. This
carpet and the new one for the East Room
were selected personally by Mrs. Harrison
from on immense number of samples
shown her early in the fall The
East Room carpet had to he espe-
cially woven, as the ordinary rolls
come just once and q half the length of the
room. aud if used would entail pieclng
every other width. or wasting inst that
much, consequently each roll was woven
twice the length of the room. IL requires
5l5 yards TO cover IL. The color of the car.
petharmonizes with tho golden browns and
cream in the furniture coverings and win
dow draperies. and in quality is one of the
best ever laid in the room. The work OF
laying this carpet could not commence un-
til late this afternoon, as the President held
his usual reception. As soon as that was
over the East Room was in the hands of the
wOrkmen, who first pulled up the old car
pet and brushed the mating all of before
the new one was stretched In place. The
impression is general that the White House
was never so attractive as at present.
Cooper VIII Again Pursue Raum.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Mr. Cooper. Of
Indiana, stated to-day, in answer to an in
quiry, that he proposed early IN January to
offer a resolution in the House providing
for thorough and rigid examination OF
the management of the Pension Office
under Commissioner Raum. His reason
for delaying the matter is that he is going
to Indiana on business and capnot return
to Washington until after the holidays.
He said also that he would not press the
inquiry should General Raum be removed,
and yet he did not like 10 appear in the at
titude of threatening the administration:
but III view of what has already trans-
pired he would not consider himself true to
his constituents and the country If he did
not do his utmost to have Raums admiDis-
tration OF Pension Office affairs thoroughly
investigated.

to the mistress about it, and she said If I
didn't like my place I could leave. That
night there was a big ball at Delmonico's g
