The indignation of Mr.. Harri-
son Had a Motive.
THE ELECTION is NEXT WEEK,
The Cry of Wah, By lingo, Wah, Would Fire
the Hearts of the Truly Loil.
The Present Administration Might Learn
Lesson from the Way Buchanan
Handled a Weak Nation in South
acknowledgements but Firm
Harrison's Jingoism.


WASHINGTON Oct. 26-There is suspi-
cion in the minds of good many persons in
Washington that the administration found
the attack of the CHILEAN mob upon our sail
ors to be an extremely opportune broll.
The president knows as well as most people
who read newspapers, that his party is IN
bad way in the states in which elections are
about 10 be held and that the administra-
ton does not excite much more interest
generally than it did, particularly in India
napolis recently in the municipal election.
The importance of ''whooping il up'' is APP
parent to everybody here VINO fancies that
little jiugoism the week before election
may capture few hundred Republicans
who would otherwise vote the opposition
ticket.
But the president knows, as well as does
Secretary Tracy, that no demand will be
disposed of offhand, and that the Chilians
may tell US as we told Marquis Rudini that
they are not to be hurried into instant COM
pliance with our diplomatic demands.
Consideration and inquiry must come first,
not settlement. Our diplomatic history
shows that such affairs have not hitherto
been regarded as the occasion for precipi-
tating immediate war, and if tine imminent
war with Chill can only be STAYED off until
next Tuesday week it is altogether probable
that the chances of a hostile friction be-
tween Chill and the United States will be
amazingly diminished.

cruisers crew were on the day Of the riots
arrested, unnecessary force being admin
istered by the police, and that they were
detained in custody without cause.
In conclusion he said that the sur
geons Of the United States war-ships
expressed the opinion that some of the
wounds inflicted on the American sailors
were bayonet wounds, and that this clearly
showed that the police officers Of Valparaiso
who are armed with bayonets-took part
in the attack. The Americans were without
arms and practically defenseless.
Minister Patrick Egan, in presenting
the Gillian junta with the statement of the
in the strongest terms the feeling of great
indignation which the state department at
Washington feels about the whole affair,
and especially at the conduct of the police
of Valparaiso in joining with the mob
in the latter's attack upon the Balti-
more's seamen, and drawing their
bayonets and using them against unarmed
attention to the brutality of the police of
Valparaiso in furnishing horses to draw
Americans to prison. 10 make it brief but
to the point, Minister Egan informed
the representatives of the junta that
in the name of the United States he de-
manced PREPARATION for insults and injuries
complained Of Now the question is, what
will be the action of the CHILEAN govern
ment? AS it appears now, there seems to
be no doubt that the junta will soon make
the PREPARATION demanded. Naturally the
action taken to-day by Minister Egan is at
tracing the attention of foreign ministers
and of foreigners generally who are resi-
dent in this republic.
The sympathy of the American colony is
entirely with Capt. Schley and his blue
jackets, and they are one and all glad to re-
ceive the news made public to-day that
another United States war vessel, the
Boston, has actually sailed for
these waters. The Chilians try
to smooth over the assault upon
the American sailors, CHASING it simply as
a street row. Up to the present time the
junta has expressed no regret for the at
tack made upon the American sailors. Two
of the Baltimore crew died to-day from
wounds inflicted by the Chilians.

Cause of the Lehish Tragedy.

SHERMAN. GRAYsoS COUNTY, TEX, Oct.
26.-This city was shocked TO hear of the
trouble which j. G. Campbell, a young
lawyer formerly of Sherman, had got into
at Lehigh, l. T., yesterday by the shooting
of Jack Jarrett, the railway agent. Camp
bell surrendered and made statement Of
the killing, which seems TO have been in
self-defense. The causes which led to the
trouble are that vile SANDER
was circulated about young lady
to whom Campbell had paid his attentions.
When Campbell approached the deceased
about the reports circulated, he bitterly de-
clared they were true. Campbell gave it
the lie. Jarrett made for his pocket, and
five balls went into his body. The Grayson
bar, about forty members, telegraphed
Campbell that they Were confident of his
innocence, rendering aid and sympathy.
He is bound quasi restraint, and arrived in
the city this evening en- route to Paris to go
before the court for habeas corpus trial.

people have robbed the negroes for twenty

the negro so poor they could not live. A
