EGAN MAY COME BACK.
Chilli Has Demanded His Immedi-
ate Recall.

New YORK, Oct. 3O-The Evening
Post says: Patrick Egan is to be re-
called as minister to Chilli Immediately
after the November election, not Oh &C
count Of the United States, but on de-
mand of the Gillian government, accord
ing to gentlemen in this city who is in
constant communication with Valpa-
raise, Santiago, Lima and other South
American ports in Chilli and Peru. The
circumstances are related as follows 10y
the gentleman referred to-:
Immediately upon the accession to
power of the junta de gobierno. after
the downfall of Balmaceda, that body
cabled 10 Senior Pedro Montt, in Wash
of the CHILEAN legation at Washington
as soon as the government of the con-
gressional party in Chill should be
recognized by the United States.
Neither this department nor the Chiiian
legation of Balmaceda at Washington
would recognize the cabled credentials
of Senior MOntt, but told him that when
duly written instructions were received
from Chill the legation would then re-
ceiye him as Chili's representative in
the United States.
The fact of Months appointment as
minister at Washington was also made
known to Minister Egan, in Santiago,
with the request that the latter inform
the department Of state by cable of
Months status in the United States, as
Montt had cabled his government that
he would be obliged to await his auto
graphic credentials. 1t Is not known
that Egan ever cabled this to Washing
ton, SO that MOntt had to await the re-
ceipt of his formal credentials as minis
ter from Chill. Upon their arrival via
the steamer Colon, via Panama, few
days ago, he lost no time in pre-
Senting them to the state department on
Wednesday last.
At the same time that Senior Montt
was cabled to regarding his appoint
ment as minister, he received instruc-
tons through the same channel to de-
mand in Chili's name the recall of
Minister Egan as persona non grata
to the present Gillian authorities. This
request of Chilli was also shelved to
await the arrival of Months credentials,
and it is believed in Chill, as we'll as in
Washington, that Egan knew the Chill
ian government did not want him and
used the slow process of the mail to in
form the state department OF Months
appointment as minister. 1t is now
stated upon the same authority that
Chilli has again demanded Egan's re-
call and that the state department will
reply to the CHILEAN government after
the elections have taken place, according
to Chili's request.

FERGUS FALLS, Oct 30.-It will be
remembered that last winter Mrs. Anna
4. Bassett Rathbun, edtress of the Peli-
can Rapids Pioneer, proposed to estab-
lish rural haven for hnsbandless
women. She assigned as the reason for

metropolis who wanted to get married
III good faith that there were six men in
the town or Ida who were ready to
marry them. Mayor Grant, although
not running matrimonial bureau. gave
the letter to the public press, and it was
soon heralded all ever the country. 1t
caused great deal of talk and finally
disappeared from public attention.
But its mission had not been in
vain. Letters began to drop in
upon the Ida bachelors like snow
fakes. Correspondence was be-
gun, and the result is that one match is
already made. A man who was in from
that town the other day said one of the
bachelors had made a selection and

ton rot to send the money or ticket

on the strength of the statement that
there are three or four of the Ida
bachelors who are anxious to marry her
as soon as she arrives.

feeling in Chilli Is Intensely
HoStile--Egan'S Recall Is
Demanded.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-All kinds of
sensational and in many cases mani
testify absurd stories were telegraphed
to Washington to-day from other cities
in this country and Europe for confir-
nation or contradiction. In the latter
category was the startling announce
ment cabled 10 Europe by sensation
mongering news agency, that the presi-
dents cabinet had decided to declare
war on Chill; that all of our navy yards
had been pressed TO prepare vessels to
leave Immediately, and that orders had
been issued to the vessels therefor.
When this story was brought TO the
attention of the officials of the depart
ment of state they were amused rather
than indignant. One of the assistant
secretaries, after characterizing the
story as absurd, remarked that the au-
thor had overlooked the fact that under
the terms of section Ssof the constitution
the congress of the United States alone
has power to declare war, and that tie
president and his cabinet had no share
of this power. So. zoo. the story that
Minister Egan had been recalled was
promptly declared 10 be All invention
without foundation i'll fact.
The navy department officials evil
IDENTIFY have no expectation of an imme-
diate outbreak of war. Commodore
Ramsay, in charge of the navigation
bureau, without whose knowledge not a
naval ship moves, said that so far as he
knew there had not been single order
issued bearing on the CHILEAN situation
during the past week. The naval Off
GERS in charge of the various bureaus in
the different navy yards also stated that
there were no unusual preparations
going on i'll their respective depart
ments. Altogether there was an air of
serenity aud everyday humdrum about
the state and navy departments which,
no less than the oral denials, afforded
an emphatic contradiction of any and
all sensational reports of warlike dis
turbanceS.
AS nearly as could be ascertalned to-
night, this government proposes to wait
a reasonable time for Chill to conclude
the inquiry which is now said to be
under way. This reasonable time"
Will not be question of months, but of
days. If no report is soon received
from the CHILEAN government, and there
is reason to believe that it is intention
ally delayed, this government will again
make request for explanation, and if a
reply is not forthcoming. steps may be
taken toward suspension of amicable
relations.

PRAIRIES IN FLAMES.
Illinois, Indiana and Missouri
Suffer Heavily.

MoMENcE, Ill.,, Oct. 30.-Destructive
prairie fires are sweeping the country
east of here between the Chicago &
Indiana Coal road and Kankakee river
farmers have been blowing all day to
save their buildings and check the
flames.
PROFESSIONALLY, Ind, Oct. 3d.
Forest and prairie fires broke out last
evening near Providence and are de-
StrOying thousands of dollars worth of
orchards of the fruit region. Another
fire is raging in the knobs near Henry
vile, started by picnickers. If the par
ties can be found the people, who are
how worn out fighting the flames,
threaten to lynch them.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 30.-LaWver Will
lard Bone, who has just arrived from
the western part of the state, reports
terrible prairie fires in Gray and Ford
counties. For miles the Santa Fe train,
on which he was passenger, travelled
at its utmost speed through a
sea of flame, with every window
and ventilator down. From the train
could be seen burning farm buildings
and stacks of grain and hay, and people
and stock fleeing before the flames Mr..
Bone says there must have been a num-
Der of human lives and many head of
stock lost in the vicinity of the Beau
mont, Butler county,
Near Argonia Mrs. c. Twining was
burned up in her house. This fire sur
rounded the town of Argonia, and it
took hard work to save the buildings OH
the outskirts.
A telegram from Guthrie, Okla. re-
ceived late tonight says prairie fires
have swept over the entire Pottawatomie
reservation and the adjoining counties.
Hundreds of farmers have lost all their
hay, grain and pasture, while score or
more have their homes destroyed.
Many new settlers were caught on the
road and their wagons loaded with
their household goods burned. No
lives were lost, but large amount of
live stock persisted.

are few who have been held IN line by
the "Michiganizing" scare. But they
are in no longer. They denounce in
bitter terms the Infamous methods that
have been resorted TO to deceive them
as to the feeling of the liberal Republi-
cans in other parts of the state, and
they say now without hesitation that
they will not only vote for the liberal
candidate tor the legislature but for
Gov. Boies and tile entire state ticket.
There are also many other Republicans
here who condemn this method of cam
paigning, and who will rebuke its au
thors in the only way it can be rebuked
by voting the Democratic ticket.
Judge Waterman's statement has COM
petely demoraliZed the Republican
managers. and left them without even
the hope of success.
Further evidence of the purpose of
Candidate Wheeler to buy his election
came into the hands of the Democratic
state committee to-day in the shape of
a circular bearing his own signature.
This circular is addressed to a leading
Republican in a county in Central Iowa,
and something similar has probably
been sent to every other county IN the
state. 1t directs the recipient thereof.
In every case where possible, to hire
y.
The circular naively adds that this will
be good way to keep those fellows in
line.
Upon the circular In possession of the
Democratic committee is written with
pen and ink the guarantee of the person
receiving it that all expenses incurred
in carrying out its directions will be
paid. With this satisfying statement
appended, 1t was sent to a township
committeeman of that county. The in
quiry naturally arises, who, if not
Farmer Wheeler, is expected to pay
these bills?
Another circular issued by Chairman
Mack contains many directions for in
timidating voters at the polls. 1t directs
his henchmen to watch carefully and
the ticket, especially on the legislative
candidates and on the head of the
ticket. 1t is clearly the purpose of the
machine to prevent as far as possible
the exercise of free and fair ballot by
the voters of Iowa next Tuesday. 1t is
fortunate that their schemes have been
discovered, as it will place the Demo
Gratis on their guard and enable them to
defeat these efforts at fraud and intim-
idation.
The latest candidate on the Repub
llcan ticket to get badly scared is Frank
L. Campbell, the nominee for railway
commissioner. Until recently this gen
tleman congratulated himself that his
election would be comparatively easy,
but during the past few days he has
changed his views. II 2 |
evidences of the Democratic landslide |
have become SO strong that he has felt |
compelled to go out and personally So
licit Democrats to vote for him. The !
encouragement he has received, how |
ever, has not been flatterjng. He will |
be defeated along with his associates OH
the ticket.

SORRY TRICK EXPOSED.
Several Forgeries on the Appeal Of

Ubiquitous practices of this campaign
the Republicans. managers have added
| forgery. transportation of their cause
could not be more strongly emphasized
than by the discovery of this most in
| famous act. When the address to the
anti-prohibition Republicans was issued
| few days ago, containing the names
of some forty persons in four of the
| river cities, 1t was supposed that the
| signatures thereto appended had been
| honestly obtained, but this proves not
to have been the fact. Some of them.
| at least, aud these the most prominent,
were obtained by forgery. This
is the case of Judge c. M. Wat
erman, of Davenport, district Judge
of the Seventh judicial district.
Judge Waterman is without question
| the ablest and the most widely known
man whose name is appended to that
address. His home is in Davenport. and
his standing at the bar is such that he
was unanimously elected to place on
the bench, receiving the united support
of all political parties.
Judge Waterman ann ounces that be
never signed the address III question,
and that he is not in sympathy with the
object sought to be gained thereby. He
says that he is a Republican, and that
two years ago he favored the nominal
ton of Candidate Wheeler for the rea-
son that he was then well known to en-
tertaA moderate views upon the prohi-
bition question. 1t was fully understood
at that time that if Mr.. Wheeler was NOM
mated and elected he would have APP
proved modification of the prohibitory
law, provided the legislature had made
oh nd not &c
didacy was favored by liberal Republic
ans like Judge Waterman.
This year, however, Mr.. Wheeler has
taken all entirely different course. He
has practically placed himself in the
hands of the state temperance alliance
and the radical prohibition element of
the Republican party, and has declined
upon all occasions to make any definite
statement of his views. For this reason
Judge Waterman says he will under no
circumstances support him. but will
vote for Gov. BoieS, and hops that he
will be elected.
He deEounces the connection Of his
name with the anti-prohibition address
as fragrant act of forgery, and wishes
that the facts concerning the same may
be published to the world. A number
of other citizens of Daven port whose
names arS appended to this address de-
clare openly that they never signed it,
and that their names were forged IN
connection with that of Judge Water
man. The probability is that this is
equally true OF many of he citizens of
other cities whose names are appended
to the address. 1t Is not improbable
that fully one-half of the forty names
have been procured in this way.

became known In Des AIolnes it Gre

she dwelt upon the necessity of keep

was to interest the women of the nation
IN this age of wonders. The women of
the day were prepared for the work, and
all women were Interested. Women
were better fitted, better educated, and
should be, therefore, more easily and
naturally interested in the work. She
showed that women were not at work

done was among the women themselves.
One of the great needs of the cause
was that women should popularize the

GEN. KEEL TONS REPORT.
The Adjutant General Talks OF
Army Matters.

| Army Matters.
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-The annual
report of the adjutant general to the
/ major general commanding the armv
! was made public to-day. The report
shows that marked decrease In the
number of prisoners in confinement has
| taken place during the past year, and it
Is shown that the decrease III the num-
Der received is about an even rate with
the decrease of the number OF h;
| desertions in the army. At the
beginning Of the year there were
4Sl persons in confinement; the (;
number received during the year was
245 and the number lost was 43S, leaving
37S in confinement June 80, 1891. The
various industries in the prison and the
i improvements about the prison and the
post of Fort Leavenworth have been
carried on with customary diligence,
and there does not appear to have been
any lack of occupation for prisoners.
, The amount realized for the prison
fund for labor of prisoners and sales of
miscellaneous material was S1,113.3S, all
of which turned into the United States
treasury.

of prisoners have been subjects of spe-
cial attention, and the indications are
that good results will follow the faith
full efforts OF officers vino have charge
of the departments. No deaths have
occurred III the past two years either
among the guards or among the pris-
oners, fact that speaks we'll of the
sanitary condition of TIE prison and
the vigilance and skill of the prison
surgeon.
Gen. Kelton makes the following rec
concentrations: That an annual appro-
priation of 100000 be made for gym-
naSiums for permanent posts. That
suitable buildings be provided for the
post canteens and amusement rooms.
That the maximum age for the enlist
ment of men be reduced from thirty-hye
to thirty years, and that the length OF
service of private soldiers he limited to
fifteen years, retaining only non-com-
missioned officers until retired That
captains of artillery and infantry OIL the
march and in the field be mounted by
the quartermaster's department. That
bounty be given to men on discharge
after ten and fifteen years faithful and
efficient service. This would require
1872, 425 annually for the next five years.
In conclusion. he says il is reasonable
to believe that il the recommendations
submitted receive favorable action such
contentment will prevail in the army as
will surely go far TO counterfeit the
causes and blot out the odieus offense
of deSertioD, which SO much reduces its
