EDUCATORS ARE EXEMPT.
The COntract-Labor Law Does Not
Exclude Professors or Ministers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - President
Harper of the Chicago university ap-
pears to be laboring under mistake
as to his inability to secure professors
from abroad on account of the con-
tract-labo law DR.. Harper is quoted
as saying that the labor law is prov
ing great annoyance to the success
of the new university. He says: "You
know the contract Dor law strikes
the higher levels of labor with the
same force that it does the lower"
superintendent o. immigration
Owen has seen DR.. Harper's statement
and desires to have the evident misap-
prehension corrected. Mr.. Owen says:
The contract-labor law in no wav
hampers the bringing of professors or
scientific men from abroad The ex-
press purpose of IL is to avoid strlk-
ing the higher levels of labor, as
DIR. Harper calls them, and to protect
only the American wage workers, or
the lower levels of labor, When the
old law was framed it was SO broad
that it made no distinction between
the higher and lower levels of la Dor.
and under that old law college pro.
fessors and even ministers of the
gospel Gould be excluded But this
directed attention to the fact that the
law was accomplishing too much,
and the last congress therefore
amended the law so as to confine it to
wage-workers.'
Mr. Owen referred to the amended
law, which was before him. Section
5 is as follows:
Nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to apply or exclude ministers of
any religious denomination, nor per-
sons belonging to any recognized
profession nor professors for colleges
or Summaries.

The situation arising from the
Chilean insult to our flag has lost none
of its threatening aspect Its import
ance may he realized from the fact
that the President, Secretary Blaine
and Secretary Tracy held two hours
conference over it to-day. The sub
jet was gone over in all it's details for
Mr.. Blaine's benefit, and the records
were searched for parallel cases 1t
was unanimously decided that
the affair bore no aspect that
could be compared to the Italian
incident in New Orleans, and that no
palliation could be discovered in the
reports received thus far, or the muir
derous assault on the Americans. No
dispatch has been received from Egan
since his acknowledgment ON Satur-
day OF the receipt of the Presidents in
structions Egan will doubtless lay the
report before the junta to-day and IN
form the President of his action. Ifthe
result be satisfactory nothing further
will be done until the report of the
committee in Valparaiso charged with
investigating the cowardly murder is
received. Should the result show that
the junta is disposed to temporize, an
ultimatum from the United States will
be cabled that will make the heads of
the yellow-skinned Chileans swim.
This was decided upon at the confer
ence to-day and the ultimatum framed.
The President has been charged
with undue haste in this Chilean
matter. Such a charge finds no sup
port here. The insult was of national
character The dignity of the nation
was at stake. Prompt action was
called for and the President obeyed
the call.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct 80. The Chile

Egan's demand for an explanation OF
the recent attack upon American sail
ors. The reply is couched in very
strong language and it Is understood
that it amounts to- a refusal to accept
responsibility for the affair. The
State Department at Washington has
been notified.
Minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul McCreery are consulting
together and it is thought that decis-

to the matter were very strong.

REMINDER TO JOHN BULL.
England's Record Hardly warrants
Criticisms OF Uncle sam.

WASHINGTON, Oct. O.-It view of
certain criticisms of leading English
newspapers, based upon an erroneous
statement indicating that the govern
ment of the United States had made a
hasty and petemptory demand upon
the Chilean government in the ass of
the Baltimore sailors at Valparaiso it
may be pertinent to relate that on
Dec. 5, 1853, the British minister at
Rio de lameiro sent an ultimatum to
the Brazilian government demanding
the payment OF s6, 525 on account of
the claim of the British bark Prince Of
Wales, and also prompt satisfaction
for the arrest of three officers of the
British naval frigate Forte, which in
June, 1852, were taken into custody
by the police guard of one of the
towns OF Brazil (they being in citizens
dress) for drunkenness and disoroerly
conduct The minister declared that
If the government of Brazil failed to
comply with the demands he would
order the admiral commanding the
British forces at Rio Jameiro to decide
the questions according to the instruc-
tions from the British government.
The Brazilian minister of foreign
affairs replied on Dec. 90 protesting
against the payment, and declared
that no satisfaction could be given in
the case of the three officers, as no in
suit was offered TO them. On the 3lst
of December the British minister sent
letter to the British consulate stating
that the demands of the British lepa-
ton having met with no satisfaction
from the Brazilian government, he had
ordered Admiral Warren to make re-
prisals upon Bra lillian property until
the proper satisfaction was obtained.
On the same day three British warships
left the harbor of Rio, and on Jan.
one of the British warvesscls returned
to the port of Rio and the fact was
made known that five brazilian sailing
vessels and one steamer under the
Brazilian flag had been captured and
taken charge of by the British man of
war, and were held in the Brazilian
harbor on the coast of RIO.
On the 5th of January a council of
state was held in the city palace, the
Emperor presiding, at which it was de-
cided that the question of the arrest of
the officers of the naval frigate Forte
be submitted to the arbitration of a
friendly power, and the King of the
Bclgians was proposed to determine
whether any insult was committed
against the British government by the
arrest of the said officers. The coun-
ell further decided that the demand of
the British government for damages
on the claim of The bark Prince of
Wales be paid by the Brazilian govern
ment in London under protest, the
brazilian government having no
means of resisting the demands of the
British government.
The King of the Belgians decided
that no insult had been offered the
British government or to the officers
who had been rearrested, but as re-
suit of the incident diplomatic citations
between Great Britain and Brazil were
broken off and not renewed until two
years had elapsed.

partment this morning and is now sa W.

left his house little before 10 o'clock,
wearing ble-breastcd grayIsh suit
and a dark overcoat new silk tile
adorned his head. He walked with a
firmness and alertness that would have
done credit to any man of his years.
He carried no cane or umbrella to sup

walked over to the White House,
and nodding pleasantly to the attend

nearly IL o'clock, and then, with his
overcoat slung across his arm, he
walked to the State Department, and
taking his seat at his desk, after chat
ting few minutes with the attaches
of his Office, he plunged into a pile of

there was no thought of his health.

WHEN the people once thoroughly
understand that in securing good roads
they are adding to their wealth, COM
fort and happiness there will be an era
OF roadmaking in the United States
such as has never been witnessed on
so immense a scale since the days of
the Romans. The national govern
ment once undertook this work, and
had it not been for the invention of the
railroads the country roads of the
United States would now probably be
among the best in the world But the
railroads can never supply the place
OF good wagon roads. and the develop
ment of system of good roads in any
state will demonstrate that fact so
clearly that the example would soon
be followed by other states.
