MIR. EGAN,S PART.

Speaking of the demand from some anti
Administration journals for the recall of
Minister Egan from Chile, the Washington
Post says that Mr.. Egan is not the issue,
for two reasons. Zone is" says that jour-
nal, that the Junta has not asked for his
recall; the other that the Government at
Washington has not insisted on his reten-
ton"
This is probably correct, unless there is
foundation for that report that the Junta
has asked his recall because he suppressed
the news OF Senior Montt's appointment as
Chilean Minister at Washington. But it is
nevertheless the fact that the position of
Mr. Egan is a vital factor in the present
situation. There is the gravest reason
for insisting on exact information as
10 whether the communications of
the United States Government to Chile
and the answers of the Chilean Govern
ment have been transmitted through Mr..
Egan. without being colored by the preju-
dices and animosities which affect that Of
ficial's relations with the Junta.
It is easy to see how the negotiations of
the two governments could be affected by
such a medium, so as to give an offensive
tone TO communications which were mod
crate and conservative in The original
There is no information that the full text
of the dispatches has reached either gov
ernment, that answer of the Chilean Gov
ernment, which is so widely taken as bel
ligerent and defiant, being notoriously Mr..
Egan's pharaphrase of it. There is the
most urgent reason for the inquiry whether
the moderate dispatch of President Har-
rison was or was not colored by Mr.. Egan's
personality so as to make it clustering and
offensive; and second, whether the cold
and defiant tone of the version of the
Chilean answer, which has been published
in this country, is not as much due to Mr..
Egan's translation and condensation as to
The document itself.
Unfortunately, there are several distinct
reasons for insisting on having this doubt
cleared up before proceeding to ulterior
measures. The DISPATCH has already
alluded to telegrams from Chile, represent
ing Mr.. Egan as presenting demands for
reparation" accompanied by threats as to
what will follow if reparation is refused.
This is backed up by the reference in the
published version of the reply to the
United States Government as 'formulat-
ing demands and uttering threats, an

THE ARMOR TESTS.

The tests of armor plate which were
made on Saturday add another interesting
step to the progress of the steel industries
of the country in turning out first-class
naval material The demonstrations made
by the tests so far have successfully estab-
lished series of very Important conclu-
sions, some of which 60 far toward revolu-
tionizing the naval position of the world
The first and most important of these
was the proof that the compound plates
largely used in the construction of British
armored vessels are the most deficient of
all modern armor. As this proves con-
siderable share of England's armored YES
sells to be ineficiently protected, it raises
a doubt whether in the test of actual war
fare her naval supremacy might not turn
out less overpowering than is generally es-
timated. The superiority of all steel
plates to the Cammell compound having
been shown, it was next proved that the
alloy Of the steel by five per cent of
nickel gives the metal slight malleability,
which diminished the tendency to crack.
Finally, Saturdays tests were intended to
show the relative values of high carboniza-
tlOll dilu lOW do well DIS W
compare the resisting power of American
made plates with the foreign ones previ-
ously tested.
On the latter point the test was especi-
ally gratifying. The plates made by the
Bethlehem Iron Works and Carnegie,
Phipps & Co. showed resisting power
fully equal, if not superior, to the best
armor of foreign make. AS to carboniza-
ton, the test, while perhaps not fully
conclusive, was strongly in favor of the high
carbon plates, which have much greater
resisting power, though the low carbon
steel has less tendency to crack.
Another point seems to be established by
the tests, which should not be overlooked.
That is that the best plates now made can
be penetrated by high power projectiles at
close range. As this makes absolute pro-
lection by the weight of armor that can be
carried by sea-going battle ships diff
cult, if not impossible task, it suggests the

THE Ohio Democrats are hard up for
money, it is alleged, and the Washington
Post, which ought to know better, asserts
that "cash plays much more i'm.
portant part than tracts in a close
political campaign" Where a fight
has been argued so as to arouse the
people to a consideration of the issues, cash
is minor matter except for the enrichment
of the political workers. If Mckinley wins
it will not be cash, but the appeal to the rea-
son Of the people, that gives him the victory.

THE FREE TRADE DOCTRINE
Its Apostles Talk Without Studying the Sub
ject Seriously.


San Francisco Chronicle
Our free-trade contemporaries who talk
about the Mckinley bill raising taxation
should take the trouble to learn something
about the measure. If they do they will dis
cover that it does nothing of the kind, but
that it largely reduces customs taxes. The
criticisms of the free-traders show that they
do not so much object to customs taxation
as to the Republican method of levying o
tariff.
What they want is a tariff which will tax
those things which we cannot produce our.
selves but must have for consumption, such
as tea, coffee, sugar, ETC., while they insist on
letting in free manufactured articles which
will compete with American products. The
reason they favor this British system is be-
cause they believe that it Is an economic
crime to encourage home industries, or In
the slightest degree favor the American pro-
ducer, their theory being that the consumer
should get things cheaply, no matter what
the effect may be so far as the producer is
concerned.
