New YORK, Dec. 10-The Herald's
Valparaiso cable says: Foreign Minis
ter Malta, in report to congress rela-
tive to the claims made against Chill by
foreigners, says the governments bound
in duty to administer strict justice. The
Chilean ministry, however, he adds, re
iects all attempts to formulate claims
which at times have been allowed in
sAr4erica, owing to the special circum-
stances under which the governments
against whom such claims were pre-
ferred, were placed toward those in
whose favor they were formulated.
To countenance the present attempts
would be to create in favor of for
eigners privileges that are allowed
neither by state nor international law.
By virtue of the mere fact that for
eigner takes up his residence in Chile,
he shows that he likes it, and that it
suits him. He would further wish to
impose on the government the obliga-
ton to secure him against downfall and
disastrous events that aff1ict Chileans as
we'll as foreigners, and which are en-
tirely due to superior force, as in the
case of August 2Sth and 29th. While
there is no dcibt that the claims of
prominent British merchants are in
several cases grossly exaggerated, still
in the end the Chilean government can
not refuse to pay large portion of the
claims made for the sacking and looting
in Valparaiso, Vina Del Mar and San
tiago, as we'll as for damages to the
Nitrate railroad and the detention of
steamers

MR.. SPRINGER'S POLICY.
THE ILLINOIS MAN OUTLINES HIS
TARIFF PLAN.
He Will Not Attempt General Revision
of the Tariff at This Time, if He
Gets the Ways and Means Chair
manship.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Springer, who
is likely to be chairman of the ways and
means committee. if Mills is offered and
declines the honor, said today his policy
with reference to the tariff was to pro-
vide for free wool, free salt, free lumber,
free cotton ties, free coal and free bind
ing twine. He said: II do not think
we should attempt a general revision Of
the tariff at this time. We should offer
the country relief by passing bills for
putting the articles named on the free
list, and sending them to the senate. A
general tariff bill cannot be enacted into
q law, and would keep congress here
until October. 1 think there should be
appointed special committee on ihanu-
factures, with able Investigators on it.
1t should consist OF fifteen members, ten
Democrats and five Republicans. This
would make FIVE subcommittee OF three
each. They should divide the work,
one investigating the textile industries,
another iron production, another glass
ware and pottery, and 30 on. This
committee would be sort OF an adjunct to
the ways and means committee, which
could 90 on with its work, and then
subsequently get all the testimony with
out long list of hearings. These sub
committees could go on during the
session and also during recess. Their
inquiries should not be conducted with
a spirit of hostility toward the manufac-
turers, but with view to ascertain the
bottom facts, and find ont in each case
what, il any, degree Of protection is
needed, as l have suspicion that fre-
quently it is represented that they need
q great deal more protection than is
really the case. 1t should be as
certained what the labor costs
on things produced; the wages
paid, whether work be steady or not F.;
profits on actual capital, and not on
'watered' stock; relative cost of pro-
duction here and abroad whether there
are tacit or direct agreements to limit
production, and much more information
OF practical character. This informa-
ton is not now to be had. The party
could then fight the Mckinley bill, and
# we'win in the elections, this informa-
ton would enable us to form tariff
bill adapted to the country, and one
that could become law, and we will
pass it in the fifty. third congress. Ii
we fail in the elections, then the. infor-
nation has been obtained, and we can
keep on till the country is educated
against the Mckinley BILL"

APPROPRIATIONS WANTED.
Estimates For tho Fiscal Year 1898
Sent to the House.

Sent to the House.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Secretary Fos-
ter today transmitted to the speaker of
the house for the information of con-
gress, estimates of the appropriations
required for the fiscal year 1898, as fur
nished by the heads of the several exec
utive departments. Some of the de-
tails are of interest. The estimate for
the army and navy is $147, 1854, $50,
which is decrease of $3,74S, ,583 from
the amount appropriated, OH account of
pensions, for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1892, and which includes deficiency
appropriation of $29,35O, ,59S. The
amount of the estimates under the gem
eral head of naval establishment is
$26, 1865 .654, which is something over
$1,000, 900 less than the present appro-
pria:ion. Nearly all this reduction is
made in the estimate for increase OF the
navy, the estimate for this item being
$12, ,280,8 For a building for the
library of congress, 81 ,035, 900 is asked.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 10.-A special from
shingle Springs, California, says the
Office of Wells, Fargo & Co. at that place
was robbed last night by two masked
men: who covered the agent, f. @. More
beck, with pistols and compelled him to
surrender the keys to the safe. The
robbers secured only watch and 500 in
cash., The sheriff and a possee are in
pursuit, but there is little hope of cap

FRANCES NATURAL ALLY.
Senator st. Hilaire Opposed to Ailianc,
with Russia.


with Russia.
PARIS, Dec. 10.-Senator Saint Hi
liare, ex-minister of foreign affairs. said
to the Associated Press correspondent
today that he is distinctly opposed to
the attempt to draw France and Russia
into an alliance. He can discover no
common bonds of union between
the most enlightened people of Europe
and country almost eastern in its
barbarity. The prevalent idea in France
is that this alliance will enable her to
regain her lost provinces, while she will
help Russia to lay hands on Constanti-
nople; but while Russia will not fail to
seize every opportunity of increasing her
empire, she would not embroil herself
with Europe in order to please France
and when satisfied would repudiate any
claims the latter power might have on
her. In his opinion, the most natural
and profitable alliance for France would
be one with England.

FREE COINAGE BILLS.

Senator Stewart introduced bill pro-
viding for the free coinage of gold and
silver bullion. 1t is copy of the bill
introduced by Plumb at the last con-
gress, on the same subject, with certain
amendments. One of these is that bull
lion deposited in the mints shall be
coined into standard dollars only, and
not in part made into bars. Another
amendment provides that the certifi-
Gates issued shall be of denominations
of not less than one nor more than ten
thousand dollars. This bill was laid ON
the table, so at any time Stewart may
call it up.
Plumb introduced a bill to provide
for the retirement of national bank

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The senate to.
day broke the record in the way OF
measures introduced in single day,
there being 612 bills and eight joint
resolutions presented.
Senator Paddock of Nebraska has the
distinction of having introduced the
first bill in this congress. 1t provides
for the organization of a section in the
department OF agriculture, to be known
as the food section OF the chemical divi-
sion, whose duty it shall be to prevent
the adulteration and misbranding of
food, drugs, etc. This proposition failed
of adoption at the last session, as an
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill.
Among the documents laid before the
senate and referred, were the annual re-
port OF the secretary of the treasury,
and many memorials asking legislation
for the closing of the worlds fair on
Sundays.

siderable opposition to this scheme has

The old greenback hatred of the national
banks crops out In the resolution adopted by
the Ohio branch Of the Peoples Party de-
manding the abolition of those institutions
and an issue of legal tender treasury notes
in sufficient volume to transact the business
ss0f The country on q cash basis. That hatred,
as far as it was based on anything, was
originally based on two ideas: first, that the
banks were very profitable to their owners !;
second. that their managers by reason Of
them were able to control the volume of the
currency, and by occasionally contracting it
managed to squeeze the farmer and the la
borer. The Greebackers looked upon a ma !.
tional bank as sort Of monopolist of the
peoples money, doling 1t out to them in
small or big quantities as suited the caprice
or the interest Of their managers. They re-
garded bank president very much as they
did Chicago grain gambler. One was cor
nering the market on money and the other
on grain. People who were Of age at the time
the Greenback wave swept over the country
we'll remember how every Greenback con-
vention and mass meeting used to ring with
denunciation of national banks and their
owners. Every Greenback convention de-
manded their abolition and the issue of
money direct from the treasury. so that the
people through Congress might control its
Volume. This CRY Of the Peopls's Party Of
Ohio Is an Inheritance from the old Green
back party. On Its face the demand that the
government issue notes directly without the
intervening agency of banks looks some
what plausible. Why not Congress fix the
volume of circulating notes? Why should it
entrust any Of that power to banks and bank
ers? That question was argued pro and con
all over the country in the Greenback era,
and the decision Of the people was In favor
of continuation of the national banks.
The decision was based on solid grounds,
too. 1t was seen that for Congress to di-
rectly control the amount of. circulating
notes, would inevitably result in determine
ing the volume of those notes, not by the ac-
tual needs of the country, put by the amount
