AN ARMY OFFICER TALKS.
He Thinks Uncle Sam Should Stand Firm
I'm His Demands for ReparatIon.

He Thinks Uncle Sam Should Stand Firm
in His Demands for ReparatIon.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-A prominent
army officer, who served on the staff of
one Of the great generals in the rebellion
and has a personal knowledge of South
America gained from his travels and
service on that continent, talks about
the situation freely. His opinions are
deserving of consideration on account of
his extended military experience and his
familiarity with the country. 1.-THE
only possible alternatives in this matter
are reparation from Chill or war, he
said. From what l know of those peo-
pie, think that it is out Of question to
expect an apology from them and that
they are just spelling for a fight. OF
course the army would take promi-
nent part in case of war, as it would,
no doubt, be thought advisable to
have force for land opera
tions. The only ports of Chill
are Valparaiso and Iquique. Peru
would be only too glad Of an op-
portunity to ally herself with any strong
nation against Chill and her ports might
be available to us. Iquique itself was
taken from Peru by the Chilians and
she would be eager to enter any fight
which would give her a chance to re-
gain her lost territory. The talk about
Chilli being difficult country for mill
tary operations is a mistake. 1t does
not compare with our western states in
that respect All of the necessary sup
plies would be right at hand. All we
would have to do would be to capture
them. 1t would be just like fighting
the Mexicans, only further away. AS
far as the personnel of the two forces is
concerned there would be no compari-
son. Our officers are infinitely superior
to the Chilians in every requirement for
modern warfare, Their. training is far
ahead. The Chilians might be good in
a rough-and-tumble fight, but for scien-
tific operations they would be nowhere. n

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Representa-

before congress bill to provide for the
construction Of ship canal around the
American side of Niagara Falls, and
also of similar water way across the
state of New York, from a point near
Buffalo to the Hudson river, so that
vessels from the lakes may have free ac-

AN AVALANCHE OF BILLS.
It is Thought That 5000 Measures VIII
Be introduced Next Week.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-At least 8, 900
bills will be introduced in the house
next Tuesday and Wednesday. This is
believed to be a conservative estimate
There are 332 members, and an average
Of ten bills each is certain to be reached.
AS the house will operate under the
rules of the Fiftieth congress, public
bills will be introduced under the call of
the states. Private bills, petitions, ETC.,
will go into the box. So far as can be
learned the new rules will carry out this
same programme, the opinion being that
the introduction of important public
bills by throwing them scriminately
and secretly into the box is an undigni-
fed and loose way Of conducting legis-
lation. Some of the house officials have
by an act Of kindness contributed to the
avalanche Of bills. They have supplied
each member of the house with list of
bills which he or his predecessor intro
duced in the last congress and which
failed to become laws. Consequently
each congressman has only TO run over
his list and secure printed copy Of
each Of the old bills in order TO supply
himself with more ammunition than he
could manufacture in a month,

A Baltimore man has recently taken
out patents for machine that takes
the measure OF foot just as the IA
miliar apparatus used by the hatters
measures and draws diagram OF a
mans head. The principle of the ma
chine is the same, a series OF movable
pins conforming to the outline OF the

note in this connection that the dia-

Laundry Work.

One OF the most troublesome things,
especially for the woman who boards,
is to find laundress who will do her
work properly Fine undergarments
do not require TO be rubbed heavily.
They are best rubbed through the
hands, rather than on tine board. 1t
is exceedingly difficult to get the ordi-
nary laundress to understand how to
wash such garments. The unskilled
hand may tear holes in the sheerlawn
and ruin the garment in the first
washing. Above all things, the laun.
dress should be cautioned against the
use Of starch in all garments except in
n petticoat. Some laundresses have n
fatal fancy for the use OF starch in all
kinds OF underwnre. Never allow n
laundress to wiring clothes by hand.
The wringer does the work with less
wear and tear than any hand wiring.
ing. Where silk underware is worn, 1t
should be washed quickly and rapidly,
with some kind OF white soap, in
warm water, thoroughly rinsed, wrung
as dry as possible, and pressed out
before It is thoroughly dry. Flannels
should be washed in exactly the same
way, except that care should be taken
to keep the water at the same tenn
perature as the room.--Good House
keeping.

4 Cool Cloth Without Ice.

One OF the most useful hints for
sick-room attendance is very seldom
known outside OF a hospital ward,
and not even there in many cases;
the hint is how to obtain cold cloth
without the use OF ice. Every one
knows that in fevers, or weakness, a
cold cloth on the forehead or face, or
base OF brain, is one OF the
most comforting things in the world.
In the tropical hospitals, and where
ice is scarce, all that is necessary is to
wet linen cloth, wave it two and
fro in the air, fold it and place on the
patient. Have another cloth ready,
way ing it to and fro, Just before APP
plying it; these cloths have more
grateful and lasting GOODNESS than
those made so by the burning cold
produced by ice.-The Ladies Home
journal.

What TO Wear.

The fashions OF late summer are
best seen in August at Newport, where
many novelties are introduced that
influence the styles Of the coming au-
tumn and winter.
The most elegant white wool gowns
worn at Newport are OF Bedford cord
trimmed with guipure lace. The high
round bodice is almost covered with
the lace set on plainly as corselet
and coat skirt, or else the corselet is
replaced by plastron and bretelles
Of lace. The collar is low-throated,
with a lace cover, and there are deep,
close cuffs Of lace TO the full.topped
sleeves. The demi.trained skirt is us
ually without trimming but may
have panels and festooned flounce
OF guipure.
The prevailing fancy for pink has
brought into vogue a new shade,
called coral pink, to which yellowish
tints are added that make il almost
salmon-color. II is most effective
when trimmed with black, as in
charming little morning dresses of
lawn of the plain coral,color, with n
yoke Of black lace and iiounees edged
with black purpling. a unique touch

OF this clinging fabric is without seams
except that taken bias down the mid
die OF the back a slight vine OF EN-
broidery borders the foot, and a
separate petticont OF silk is provided.
| The bodice is fitted with all the usual
seams over silk lining; even hip
seams are used for adding coat skirts.
Short revers dAintily embroidered
extend only as low ms the darts, and
vest similarly beaded appears
between. A marrow vine, like that on

over, and have wide vine border

are similarly figured, and an odd
fashion is that OF white sprigs and a
border wrought on black net wells.
