AN UNEASY FEELING
Concerning Matters in General in Chill
--The:.Jmta's Action.

WAsH1soros, Sept. 2s.-The President
had two hours consultation with the repre-
.en,atives Of the state and navy departments
this morning. Since Friday last cipher tel
exrams have been passing. between
Washington and Valparaiso. Officials
refuse to make their contents pub
lie, but it is gathered that
serious complications hsvs arisen between
the Junts and United States representatives.
10 that country. At present there is but
ore Uaited States vessel in Chilisn waters,
the cruiser Baltimore. Secretary Tracy,
while declining to make any statement rels-
tive to the conference, said that he did not
iatend to send any more ships to Chill, and
that he did not regard the situation there as
threatening.
The explanation may perhaps be found
ia the New York Hersld's Valparaiso
specisl, which news reached there Sunday
from Santiago Of unususl action oh the part
Of the Junta. 1t has been endeavoring TO
induce Minister Egsn to give up sll those
who have sought refuge in tho United
States legation. Ir'also claimed that it had
The right to arrest any one, no mat
ter of what nationality, who might
be found On the street or any.
where else outside the walls OF the l7ga-
lion. In accordance with this claim num-
ber Of foreigners have been arrested, in
GLIDING three Americans. The mstter went
50 far that every person entering the lega-
tion was compelled to first obtain permit
and to enforce this rule force Of police
wss put on guard outside the legation. This
lasted a couple Of days when Minister
Egan on Friday entered elgorous protest
against the whole proceeding with the re-
suit that the police were withdrawn. 1t is
said he referred the whole matter to Wash
ington.

FINE WORK At THE TARGETS.
The Newark's Men do Some Remark
ably food Shooting.

New LONDON, Conn, Sept. 28.-The
United States cruiser Newark arrived in the
Thames river yesterday morniog and an
chored Just below the city. The chip left
New York last Monday morning for Gardi-
ners Bay, L. l., where the crew was to be
drilled at tsrg4t practice in accordance with
the regular department order.
The ship came to anchor at about mid
night in GARDENERS bay. The United States
steamship Kearssge, belonging to the
North Atlantic squadron, was already
anchored in the bay, where she had also
come for target practice.
Tuesdsv afternoon target was buoyed
1900 yards from the Newark, and the main
battery was fred with reduced charges.
For.y-two shots were fired, and the target
hit q number of s'mes and twice completely
demolished. Wednesday morning the
secondary battery was fired, and the shoot
ing was remarkably good. The rest
of the day and Thursday the different
divisions were drilled at email arm target
practice, the targets being set up on shore.
The men fred from small boats anchored
a. distance of 300 yards from the target.
At this practice the crew did remarkable
work, considering the roughuess Of the
water, one man making score of ~ out Of
\ possible 80 on an Army A target, and the
ms jority Of the men Masking over 25.
The regular quarterly rils practice at
100, 200. 300 and 500 yards on shore will
be continued At the navy yard range a New
London, and it is supposed that The ship
will remain at least q week or two.

COTTON MANUFACTURERS


FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 2S.--A largely
attended meeting OF the cotton manu-
lecturers association was held this after
noon to listen to the report OF its executive
committee, ordered to prepare revised
schedule Of wages, also to take final action
in the matter of cut down to go into
effect October 5,h.
The committee stated that it was ready to
report. but it was decided to instruct
them to hold the report back for the pres
en,. This result WAS anticipated some few
dsys past, inssmuch As the market has
improved since the vote to reduce was
passed. and it was generally conceded
among manufacturers that prolonged
strike would follow the notification OF
reduction and they are not disposed to take
any unnecessary move which would provoke
labor troubles.
Since the vote WAS taken, cloth has ad-
vanced three cents. They say the price is
not satisfactory, but they are willing 10
wait developments for the next few weeks.
The action Of the association has lifted q
load from the minds OF the operatives and
business men, who sre fully alive to the
fact that prolonged strike would follow
the reduction.
Neither the spinners nor wesvers are
anxious for ideness and they are united in
the determination to stop work had re-
duction been made. In interviews with
the manufacturers after the meeting, the
meeting, they said it was not the desire Of
any of them TO cut down wages il they
could have seen any other way out OF the
difficulties.

1t COMES TOO HIGH.


WAsHrsGTor, Sept. 2S.-The question
Of the introduction of the system of trans
mittiug mail by means Of pneumatic tubes
in some Of the large cities is one which the
postmaster general still has under careful
conside ration, although the prospect Of &
practical test is not bright The subject
was brought up 10 the conference between
the postmaster general and Postmaster Van
Cott this week, and discussed at some
length.
II it were not for the great expense OF
introducing the system the experiment
would be tried at cnce IN New York and
Brooklyn, but engineers who have invest
gated the subject estimate that . system of
lubing, even for experimental purposes.
would cost between 81 600 600 and 81, ,500,-
600, and that An effective system, embrac-
ing all the important branch ssstions in New
York and Brooklyn could not be constructed
at less cost than 100000.
1t is now feared the project will have to
be abandoned on account Of the expense.
The only way in which New York and
Brooklyn can secure the advantages Of the
pneumstic tube service in the near future is
by private enterprise, or by urging upon
Congress special appropria ION large
