CHILEANS ARE SAUCY
Their Leading Newspapers Thinks
Harrison Will Change.
WANTS A. CHANCE TO TRASH US,
War Talk Being Agitated by Foreign
Merchants - Secretary Tracy's Prepa-
rations to Maintain the Dignity of
Our Flag-sailing of the Baltimore.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 14-E1 FcTrocdrril,
the leading daily newspaper of Santiago,
says i'm its editorial columnG that il sup
ports Minister Malta in deprecating the
tone of President Harrison's message and
ascribes it to exaggerated data which, the
editor claims, was forwarded to Wash
ington. He goes on TO say that he feels
confident that the people and the govern
ment of the United States will alter their
ideas on the subject when all the facts be-
come fully known.
There is growing excitement over the
misunderstanding between Chile and the
United States, and the local authorities
are taking precautions to prevent any re-
newal of insult or injury TO Americans.
The foreign residents generally regard the
prospectsas serious and are not sanguine
of a peaceable outcome of the controversy.
The better class of Chileans appear to
think that the United States will not
fight and that Valparaiso would be pro-
tected by the English and Germans. Even
well informed Chileans share, to a sur
prising degree, in the illusion thus Gre
ated, and some of them express anxiety
for a chance to thrash the Americans. The
departure of the Baltimore is viewed with
regret by Americans, who hope for the
early arrival of the Boston.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-The fact that
the Navy Department has thought proper
to permit the Baltimore to leave Chile at
this time is regarded here rs evidence that
the negotiations now in progress between
the two countries are being conducted sat
isfactorily TO the United States.
The Yorktown still remains in Chile,
and within the next two weeks will be
Joined by the Boston, which is now about
rounding Cape Horn. The Baltimore will
proceed to san Francisco and be placed
upon the ways TO have her bottom
scraped.
Iti stated at the Navy Department
that Secretary Tracy intends TO Keep seve-
raj war vessels in South American waters
until all signs of unpleasantness have dis
appeared.

THE DEAD BOMB FlEND.
Coroner MESSENGER Not Satisfied
About the Identification.

New YORK, Dec. H.-Coroner Messemer
said yesterday that hewill not give up the
remains of the bomb thrower's body at the
morgue until. he is convinced that the
claimant has made satisfactory iden-
tifcation. The inquest will prob
ably not begin for week or
more. To-day the coroner is TO make
an examination of the teeth. He says
there is very noticeable depression in the
front of the left upper canine tooth. A
few days ago the coroner examined the
teeth as closely as circumstances per
mitted, but found no signs of filing in
them.
1t was stated yesterday that when the
medical experts give their testimony at
the inquest in regard TO the dead
mans brain, they will announce
that the man had been insane for a
considerable period before his death. The
brain, according TO the statement, gives
unmistakable signs of protracted mental
disease which the man could hardly have
concealed.

LATESTNEVS
MRS. BARNABY'S DEATH.
CONTINUED from Pdge ~

Mrs. Nancy B. Allen, grandmother OF
the last witness swore that in January
Mrs. Barnaby was at her daughter house
and that she saw her again in April.
Mrs. Barnaby told her that she did not
want the news of the poisoningto get into
East she would hire detectives to try to
learn why and by whom her life
had been attempted. She said she
could not think who would do IL
but remarked that she did not like her
last maid, "Sallie Hanley." whom she
had discharged because she was not lady:
She also said that she had made Will
leaving DIR. Graves $4,000, and that he
knew it.
DIR. Graves was so nervous he could not
sit still or look people in the eyes. He said
that the Bennets must have sent the bottle
ndthat they, the BENEFITS, and Mrs. Barn
ably had had a quarrel When DIR. Graves
learned that Mrs. Conrad was in Denver
he jumped half way up from his seat ana
wanted to know If she was in the house.
Judge Macon made desperate and in
effectual efforts to break down this start
ling testimony. Instead of doing so he
drove the nails in all the harder Failing
to accomplish anything in this direction
he sought to get the admission that Mrs.
Barnaby was great deal better on
Wednesday, and that her voice was
stronger.
The idea was TO draw out the admission
that she was better TO support the de
fences claim that Mrs. Barnaby died from
natural causes and not from poison.
Mrs. Allen testified that when Mrs.
Barnaby arrived from Chicago in April,
she said that she did not have the conii-
dence in DIR. Graves that she once did.
When the witness reached this point an
adjournment was taken until o'clock.

The FRANCHISE HEARING
Charles A. Wilson Speaks for the Ad-
vance Club favorably.
BUT WANTS THE ACT AMENDED,
President Andrews Not Able tn SPEAK
The City Council Committee Listens to
All the Suggestions Made by the People
This Afternoon.

The public hearing on the franchises be-
fore the special committee Of the City
Council opened at 2:l5 o'clock this after
noon. The members of the committee
present were Chairman Vaughan, Presi-
dent OF the Common Council Watson,
Aldermen Dyer, Douglas, West, and
Councilmen Covell and John X. Kend-
rick.
Chairman Vaughan called the meeting
to order and stated that among. others
present were representatives OF the Ad-
vance Club who wished to be represented
by President L. Benjamin Andrews, OF
Brown University.
President Andrews begged to be ex-
cused from speaking, because of weakness
of his voice and vested the power in
Charles A. Wilson. For President
Andrews Mr.. Wilson said that the
Anvance Club was heartily in favor OF the
propose franchaise measure. The city
ought TO derive more revenue for the use
Of its streets; that there should not be
competition because it was fore
gone conclusion that If two corporations
were competing with each other one
would be sure TO buy out the other but
there are difficulties to be met, and the
exclusive contracts should not be made
without the most careful study and con-
slucTdulou.
Then If the companies with which the
city will have TO deal are companies using
electricity, and as new inventions are be-
ing made in this sphere every day it
is only fair to believe that contracts
which would be made to-day might be un-
just to the city a few years hence. For
these and other reasons he wished for the
Advance Club to protest against the
granting of the franchise until the act is
suitably amended by the General Assem-
bly,.
After concluding for President Andrews
Mr.. Wilson spoke briefly on his own ac-
count for the Advance club. He
hoped that no contracts would
be made under the present
act until it was amended. He thought
there should be no limit TO the compensa-
ton. The City Council has not authority
enough under this act, because 1t provides
that any one of the corporations may go TO
the Supreme Court for arbitration If they
think they are treated unfairly. Why go
TO the City Council at all If the
Supreme Court is to be the final arbiters
Why not go to the Supreme Court to
begin withs

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-12-14

Now that the Standard and Inter
Mountain are in a dispute as to which
has the larger circulation, and one or
both may be called to a "show down."
which neither is prepared to make, we
quote for their benefit the most APP
proved form Of statement. In a recent
libel suit against the London Times the
plaintiff asked how many copies Of the
Times were printed, issued and circu-
lated on the day the alleged libel APP
peared and the answer was that the
Times newspaper, as was notorious, had
a large and extensive and general circu-
~lation, and the number referred to was
printed, issued and circulated in the or
binary manner, but that defendants
could not state the number issued to the
public as they did not know it, and
could not discover it without a difficult
and troublesome inquiry into the bust
ness of other persons; further, it was
said that the number of copies issued
was not reyelant to any matter involved
in the action; that to give the number
of copies printed would be misleading;
and that the question was unreasonable,
.frivilous and vexatious. We think this
formula would gracefully cover the
mutually desired retreat of our friends
over the range.
