ing of Albert j. Barr and James Mills,
proprietors of the Pittsburg Post.
charged with criminal libel by Senator
Quay. came up before Aid. McMasters
this afternoon. The private Office of the
magistrate was crowded.
Mr.. Quay was sworn, and in answer to
question as to the truth of the state
ment published, he said: 1.-The publi-
cation is absolutely and wholly false in
every particular" He then denied
having received SS.S77 from John Bar'is-
ley. or that he had received a certificate
from or in behalf of John BardsIey !,
stated that he never had any business
transaction with Mr.. BardsIey.
Il think Dave Martin gave me Ger
tificate of deposit, which was sor

a series of unimportant questions a. TO
whose order the note was made payable
to, Attorney McCoOk asked for post
ponement of the case until he could
produce the original certificate. The
alderman held the defendants for court
in the sum of $1,000 each. The bond
was promptly given, and the hearing
closed.
Before leaving his home at Beaver

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The depart
ment of state has no news OH CHILEAN
matters to-day. No dispatches in refer
ence 10 this subject were sent or re-
ceived. Secretary Blaine had a brief
COME renee with the president this
morning, but nothing was given out
FOR publication. Secretary Tracy has
not been at the navy department to-day,
but officers in charge stated that nothing
had been received from Chill, and no
Instructions had been sent to naval
officers there.
The proposition of the Pan-American
congress that troubles between Amer
lean countries should be submitted to
arbitration may have an important
bearing OH the present difficulty. Pres
den Harrison Endorsed the recommends
ton, and the congress went so far as to
address in the name of all the countries
represented in it, with the exception of
Chill, note to the powers of Europe.
in which, after noting that the arbitra-
ton recommendation had been adopted,
1t was stated that 1.-The congress begs
leave to express the wish that contro-
versies between them Cthe American
nations) and the nations of Europe may
be settled in the same friendly man
ner."
Senior Don Pedro NIontt, the CHILEAN
minister to Washington, while 10th to
inject his views into the newspapers,
desires TO state, upon the Information
in his possession, that the reports pub
lished recently of ill-feeiing between
the Gillian people and the Americans
domiciled among them are sensa-
tional and absolutely without founda-
ton in fact. He says that the
Americans in Chilli are generally old
residents, extremely popular among the
CbilianS, and are always courteOuslv
treated and respected. He holds that
the Baltimore incident has been unduly
magnified, and sees no reason to doubt
that settlement of the questions at
issue between the governments of Chilli
md the United States will be reached
IN 4 manner honorable to both sides
The report telegraphed from New
York that Secretary Blaine had prom
ised Senior Montt that the United States
legation would be put in charge of it's
secretary fails To find confirmation here.
On the other hand, the fact is men,
toned by the state department officials
that there is no secretary attached to
the United States legation at Santiago.

payment of the claim of two British

Venezuelan government for alleged yio-

The Venezuelan government was no

this threat in so summary manner be-

IN public expenditure has almost become

II have believed thatsthe Democratic
party was right in its position on all
these subjects, and am willing 10 con-
feSS that my belief is confirmed by the
verdict of the people of Massachusetts.
When 1 see the old commonwealth
break away from party trammels in aid
of right and honesty; when | see ma
jority of her last elected representa-
tiyes in congress chosen to indorse the
principles we profess, and when l see
her put at the head of her state govern
ment, oneof her young sons who stands
for these principles IN the trueSt, Clean
est and most vigorous way, l am pre-
pared TO see. following the lead of Mas
sachusetts, such a revival OF moral
sentiment in politics as will insure the
general acceptance by our countrymen
of the truths we preach.
ANY man who fails to appreciate the
immense motive power of the conscience
of Massachusetts, has viewed to little
purpose the movements which have
made their impress on our country's
history, and which have led our ma
tional destiny. On the splen-
did roster of those here enlisted
in our cause and among the
thousands recorded there who have
seen beyond party lines the morals of
political questions. are found The names
OF Adams and Everett, and Andrew and
Quincy, and Garrison and Higginson,
and Pierce and Eliot, and Hoar and
Goldman and Williams-giving proof
that the peoples cause has touched the

Democracy have far and wide rejOiced
that one who embOdieS their principles
SO truly and eXemplifies them so wisely

to the people of Massachusetts to

their young governor and the manner

REPORT ON MALLITIA.

on Its Improvement.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 81. = In
spectOr Generald Breckenridge has sub
mitted the annual report to the secre-
tary of war. The work of inspection
of the national guard encampments, he
says, was never SO completely accomp-
lished as during the past year. For Tie
inspection of encampmentS 81 officers
wer c detailed. and 40 encaInpments
were held in 81 states and territories.
All OF this years encampmentS were
for the first time visited officially by
army officers. whose reports show a
great improvement in the troops. The
report says, 1t is safe to assume that 4

an efficiency would be attained in
which all may feel justly proud. Gen.
Breckenridge has also submitted re-
poIt to the commanding general
of the army. In this report lie
suggests the advlsability of holding
at Chicago. during the worlds fair, an
encampment ofthe militia forces of the
nation and collecting there as many
regulars" as possible. He adds i'm this

the national guard, he saws the exer-
cises in which it has had the least ex-
perience and in which it is naturally

GETTING IN SHIP SHAPE.
Three War Vessels Will Leave for
Chilli Tuesday.

NEW YORK, Oct. S1.-The Gillian
trouble shows its effect at the Brooklyn
navy yard in the renewed activity that
is being displayed in fitting out all the
vessels now there. The number of
men engaged upon the monitor
Miantonomoh has been Increased, and
from conversation with her officers yes
terday, it was learned that she could be
got ready for sea within ten days if Oc-
casion required it. She is clasSed by
all officers as the most formidable ship
in the navy, and, if necessary. she
could be in CHILEAN waters within two
months.
A rumor got abroad yesterday that
orders had been sent from Secretary
Tracy to the Brooklyn navy yard to
have three ships sail as soon as possible
tor Chilli, but Capt. Erben, cOmmandaut
of the navy yard, denied that he had
received such orders. he said he was
very busy, and that was as
much information as he could
ships, the Philadelphia, the Con-
cord and the Kealsarge, were being
prepared to leave Tuesday for the West
Indies. A ship going from New York
to Chilli generally makes her first stop
at st. Thomas, so it is possible that
there may be some connection between
the rumored orders from Washington
and the departure of these three ships.
For several weeks the KearSarge has
been expected to Sail next Tuesday, but
the Philadelphia, Admiral Gherardi's
flag ship, had not been expected to leave
the navy yard until about two weeks
later. Yesterday Admiral Gherardi
made the announcement that he would
sail Tuesday. Orders were given 20
have the Concord ready to sail On the
same date. The Philadelphiais regarded
as about the finest ship now in
the navy yard. She is sister ship OF
the Baltimore at Chill. The Concord is
smaller vessel and bears a close re-
semblance to the Yorktown. already on
her way to Chill. Admiral Gherardi
was not on board the Philadelphia yes
terday afternoon, but Lieut.. Fremont,
the officer of the deck, when asked
about the rumor of the three ships being
ordered to Chill. said he thought it
might be true
