LONDON, December l6.-The Times
correspondent in Paris sends to his pa
per column despatch giving the text
OF Chili's reply TO President harrison's
message. In commenting upon the
Surprising character OF Americas ac-
tion," the correspondent says:
"The violence OF President Harrlson's
message would be repugnant TO Euro
pean ideas even II they only were Affect
ed. II, however, America went to war
for sailors quarrel Europe might wit
ness spectacle so singular that IL
would relieve the monotony OF the pres
ent times.
America having refused to sign the
treaty against priyateerlng, Chile would
be entitled TO equip her entire mercan-
tile marine, even American built vessels,
as privateers. Happily, this Is a mere
hypothesis. President Harrison's mes
sage,.s merely rhetoric."

WASHINGTON, d. c., December TO-
The opening of the House to-day, after
the holiday OF half week, was without
special interest. 1t was generally un-
derstood that no business would be
transacted and that the meeting would
be merely a perfunctory one, to enable
the Speaker to appoint the Committee
on Rules.
Speculation was rife as to the compo-
sitlon OF that commjttee and there was
large attendance of members, but
their time was principally employed in
conversation with applicants for minor
positions, whom they politely referred
to the officers controlling the various
departments of the House.

ED TO DEATH.

Mr.. John II. Grimm arrived in the
city this morning at five o'clock, with
the remains OF his son Charles d.
Grimm, who was killed near Pitts

The particulars of his death are har-
rowing in the extreme, and about as
follows: AS was stated yesterday
Charley had been unable to secure en-
ployment in Pittsburg, and being Of
an active and ambitious nature, and
not contented when idle. he sought
and procured a position rs brakeman
on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and West
ern Railway. The work was not ex-
actly suited to his taste, but he choose
it in preference to waiting for some
thing better to turn up. He had made
one trip, and given satisfaction, and
was making his second when the acct
dent occurred which terminated in his
death. He was acting as forward
brakeman, and was on car near the
engine, when Il freight train running
ahead separated and the rear portion
running back on a steep grade collided
with the train on which Charlie was
working
In the crash he was thrown beneath
box car of matches which took fire
and was destroyed A more horrible
death could not be imagined as the
remains when discovered amid the ash
es were almost completely cremated.
There were only a few bones remain
ing and they were taken to the under
takers in box.
In accordance with the announcement
made at the regular Wednesday night
prayer meeting which the deceased al
ways attended. The funeral took place
from the First M. +. Church this after.

Send Him tn the Gal1ows.
Especial to THE WoRLDl


ROANOKE, VA, November I9.-The
sensation of the day in the trial of
Charles Watkins for the murder of his
wife: of Salem, was the introduction of
a letter written by the prisoner to his
cousin, Ben Wright, from Wilmington,
July 4th. Watkins relates his troubles
at length, confessing that he killed the
woman, saying that she had followed
him everywhere, he had gone for eight
years, had threatened his life twenty
times, and said that the night before
she was murdered that she intended to
kill Watkins and Ida, his white wife.
He tells his cousin he had changed his
name to Williams and asks him to
burn the letter. He closes by saying
that he will soon be on the other side
the Atlantic. The defense used every
means possible to prevent the intro
duction of the letter, and Watkins
knew that it would be used against
him. He had sent for Wright few
days ago to ask him if he had received
it. This letter was the fatal act of
Watkins. Next day after it was re-
ceived, his cousin turned it over to
Deputy Sheriff Weber, and two weeks
later Watkins was in jail.

New YORK, November 19.-The fact
that hotel which charges guests enor-
nous rates does not pay its managers
or promoters is demonstrated by the
failure of Mr.. j. G. B. Woolworth. He
was the manager of the Grand Union
Hotel at Saratoga, where many New
York millionaires are to be found in
summer, but has failed for $25, 1000,
and the failure prompts revival of
the story of the ill-luck that attended
most of the last enterprises of A. T.
Stewart. The hotel will be remember
ed as the one from which Judge Hill
ton unwisely excluded all Hebrews.
There was plenty Of them there last
summer, and the hotel seemed to pros
per. President Harrison remained at
the Grand Union during his stay at
Saratoga, and the house appeared to
prosper. But it appears that it did not
and has been really sinking money for
nearly twelve years. Mr.. Woolworth
leased the hotel for FIVE years at $780,
600 year. The shops and stores in
the basement rented for $14,OOO, so
that he was compelled to pay for about
ten weeks occupancy Of the hotel only
the trifiing sum of $35, 900. He was
also to pay to the Stewart heirs fifty
per cent. of the net earnings, and, as
there were heavy net loses, the same
estate will have to bear one-half of
them.
