PRESIDENT MNNTT.

VALPARAISO, Chill, Dec. 12-President
Jorge Montt has sent to the CHILEAN min
listers in the United States and Europe q
reply to President Harrison's message to
congress in relation to the assault upon
the sailors who landed from the cruiser
Baltimore. He declares that the Chilians
have not attempted TO evade in the slight
est particular any responsibility for
which the government may be Justly held,
but he insists that the proper and ordinary
forms of Gillian procedure must be OLD
served.
NEW YORK, Dec IA letter from Val
paraiso, Chill, under date of Nov q, says:
1.-The congress which was elected last
month has convened and it is expected
that the controversy which has arisen be-
tween Chilli and the United States will be
laid before that body soon. 1t is expected
that immediate action will be taken upon
these matters. There is no change, how
ever, in the attitude of the Gillian public
towards Americans in general.
Another case of cruelty in the case of
Rn American seaman occurred here re-
Gently. The American steamer kewen-
nawa, from New York. stopped here for
repairs a month a2o One of her crew. a
sailor named Shields, was arrested in
Valparaiso for drunkenness. The man
afterwards admitted that he was drunk,
nut he says that he was given no hearing
at all, and was refused permission to COM
municate with the captain of his vessel
or the American consul He was kept at
work cleaning the streets for more than a
week, and was so brutality beaten by the
police that when released he was scarcely
able to walk. His back and arms were a
mass of bruises and he also received
severe internal injuries Consul McCreery
has laid the matter before the authorities. :"

CONTACT LABOR.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 12-Referring to
New York telegram in which it was
stated that the government officials had
detained six newly arrived Hungarians as
contract laborers, whom it was claimed
had been sent for to work at Carnegie's, a
prominent workman said: ut is custom
with the Huns, Poles, Slavs and other
foreigners to send for their relatives when
they become intrenched in any of our large
industrial establishments. 1t is unjust to
impute to the management that they send
for them. There is no necessity for it. The
foreigners are always ready to send pass
age money to bring their relatives to this
country. The average amount sent to
Hungary and other countries through the
Homestead National bank is about s., 0OO
per month and the bulk of this is the earn
ings of men occupying the lowest positions
in the mills. The Carnegie firms do not
import labor. Not one man was imported
for their great armor plant when it was
started, although, being a new industry:
they could, under the law, have imported
as many as they desired"

TOPEKA NOTES.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec Ex-Governor
Humphrey this morning instructed Attor-
ney General Ives to take charge of the
prosecution of Isaac w. Kay. charged with
the murder of Charles r. Webb in Raw
Inns county in October, 1890 Webb had
his life insured for 1000 in favor of Kay's
wife. When the murder was committed
Kay was arrested on suspicion, but was
released at the preliminary hearing. The
present county attorney of Rawlins coun-
ty defended him and also appeared as the
attorney for Mrs. Kay to collect the in
surance. Within the past six months the
sheriff of Rawlins county thinks he has
secured enough evidence to convict Kay
and has asked that the attorney general be
given charge of the case.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 12.-Twenty-fiv five
years ago the first grange was organized
in the state of Illinois and twenty years
ago the first farmer organization was
effected at Hiawatha in this state. At

BERLIN. Dec. 1.-THE treaties Of COM
merce have now practically passed, in prin-
ciple and detail, by the almost unanimous
voice of the reichstag. The minority, drawn
from the ultra Conservatives and the mem
bers of the Reichpartei, who opposed the
proposed measure, found themselves too
feeble either to divide on the first reading
or to try to cause delay by referring the
treaties to a committee. The chancellor,
finding, as the debate was proceeding, that
an insignificant fraction of the house was
opposed to the government, let it be I'M
derstood that the proposals must be ac-
cepted strictly as they were set forth in the
convention. kilograms from Vienna were
circulated among the members of the
reichstag today announcing that the Hun
garian minister of commerce had declared
that the treaties formed a complete trans
action, from which all notifications were
excluded.
The chancellor dwelt upon the necessity
of passing the treaties before Christmas.
The result of their operation, he declared,
would soon show that no preference had
been given other industries over that of
the agricGlturist. The chancellor con-
cluded his address by announcing that the
government with the view of meeting the
dearth of labor in the rural districts was
preparing amendments to the laws relative
to the maintenance and housing of rural
laborers, and that bill embodying those
amendments would be introduced during
the present session of the reichstag Upon
the conclusion of the chancellor's speech,
which closed debate of six hours dura-
ton, the reichstag decided to take a second
reading of the treaties in a full sitting of
the house. Chancellor Won Caprivi by his
address greatly enhanced his reputation as
mastery speaker, displaying great lucid
ity of statement and quickness in response,
and dealing effectively with every argu-
ment which the opposition put forward.
Referring to the inscription 'Suprema
lex regis valuntas," placed in the golden
book of Munich by Emperor William, and
to other recent autocratic utterances of his
majesty, Prince Bismarck said that he had
never been supporter of absolutism, and
expressed regret that the emperor had
nude use of such expressions

charged with having embezzled $40, 000 of

The FRISCO lNOIlIRY.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. l2.-The state
supreme court, by five justices against two,
decided today that the present grand jury
of the city and county CT San Francisco is
an illegal body. The proceedings of the
grand jury have excited wide interest, it
having had under investigation the scan
dial affecting the late Legislature and the
conduct of municipal affairs under the
present and prior administrations.
The question came before the supreme
court on an application by ex-Assembly-
man Bruner for writ of prohibi tion to
restrain Superior Judge Wallace from
proceeding against him under indictments
found by the grand jury charging Bruner
with malfeasance in office
