srpERFLUoUs BRIDGE OFFICIALS.

A gross outrage is being perpetrated upon the
taxrayers of this city in that they are still
compelled to pay the salaries OF the olLcidIs
connected with the Washington Bridge. THESE
officials are absolutely useless. The bridge was
finished ON March %, 1889. They have moth
ing whatever to do except to draw their pay
from the city treasury for doing nothing. Inc
comnleted structure ought e. have been turned
over to the city long ago. and would have been
had Il not been for certain red-tape which has
NOT vot been untangled. 1t is contended that
under the law there are no regular city oiiclaiS
70 whom the Bridge Commission can surrender
its trust. and therefore the Commissioners ana
their subordinates are holding on, and will con-
Time to do 50. until the Legislature comes to
the relief of the city. An attempt was made at
the last session to put an end to this useless
body. but on account of the Senate deadlock
nothing was accomplished.
Last week the secretary of the Commission
appeared before the Board Of Estimate with an
appcation for new issue OF bonds Ill ORDER
to maintain this wholly superiluous establish
ment. 1t is reported that Mayor Grant eX-
messed great disgust at the application. wen
might he. Every taxpayer in town would DO
the same il he understood the situation. 1t Is
one demanding the earliest remedy possible to
be applied. The question of continuing the
Commission has nothing to do with the wisdom
of building the bridge. That question is not
now open to discussion. But the Commission
ought to be Topped off at the earliest possible
moment If the Board of Estimate can find any
lawful way in which to prevent paying out good
city money to men who are of no more use to
it than to the Grand Vizier of Beloochistan, it
will be applauded for doing so. And one of the
earliest duties of the Legislature of 1892 will
be to abolish the Commission and put the bridge
into the hands where it has belonged ever since
the hour when work upon it was finished.

VEST COAST DIPLOMACY.

The most important news from Chill relates
to the diplomatic arrangement made by the
insurgents with Bolivia. In return for recog-
milton of their beigerent rights the insurgents
have negotiated a treaty by which questions
left open at the close Of the disastrous West
Coast war are settled. Antofagasta was former
" a Bolivian port, and the conflict between
Chill and Peru arose over the control of the
nitrate trade of the desert coast. AT the end
of the war the Bolivian seaboard passed under
the control of Chill, and the nitrate Provinces
of Peru were also annexed as conquered terri
tory. While a treaty of peace was negotiated
with Peru practically disposing of all questions
of indemnity for the war, there was no con-
vention concluded with Bolivia. CHILEAN oc-
cupation Of Antofagasta continued without q
formal adjudication of the question of indemnity
for the war The insurgents have now entered
into engagements with Bolivia by which this
question is taken up and settled.
The account given Of this convention by the
press of the West Coast is not clear, but ap-
parently Bolivia has agreed to cede Antofagasta
to Chill in perpetuity in return for the privilege
of importing merchandise. by way of that port
without payment of duties, and also for the
cancellation Oh ueUlS COuVIdClSu tuCTC
ing TO S4,60O,O00. Whatever may be the
nature of these financial obligations which the
insurgent Government has assumed, the ad-
vantage of having a free port is a substantial
one Antofagasta and the adjacent seaboard
have been in the possession of Chill since the
close of the West Coast war, and Bolivia has
despaired of regaining them. Since it has been
converted into an inland State without access
to the sea the most that it could hope for was
the negotiation of a treaty by which its i'm
ports could be received on the coast without
customs charges and transported under bond
by railway into its territories. These terms
have been granted 10y the insurgents, who are
grateful for the recognition Of their beligerent
rights. The cesson of Antofagasta follows as
a matter of form, Bolivia surrendering what
was conquered in the war and permanently 0c-
cupied by Chill.
II this version of the treaty be authentic, il
is evident that Bolivia has exposed itself to the
hostility of the Balmaceda Government in case
the insurgents are ultimately overthrow. The
inland republic, which displayed a fatal facility
for laundering when it entered into secret en-
gagements with Peru and became its ally in the
disastrous war over the nitrate and guano beds,
is again taking serious risks. Meanwhile the
