Paros Luco, speaker of the house, and
Jorge Montt, comprising the junta de
gobierno. have held meeting in con-
of Office are unexpired. and discussed
very carefully the present situation Of
affairs in Chilli. Their object was to
hit upon some plan that would restore
peace and order to the country and to
arrange the details Of new general
election to select president as success
sor to Balmaceda. The claims OF
Claudio Vicuna. who was recently re-
elected by the states under the control
of Balmaceda and who is now fugi-
tive on German warship, were, Of
course, ignored After everyone pres
ent at the conference had been allowed
to freely and fully express his views
decision was arrived at which, it is con-
fidently thought, will meet all the re-
quirements of the case.
Public announcement was then made
that it was the unanimous belief Of the
members of the junta and the senators
that an election would be the best
method to bring about the tran
guilty that was so much de.
sired. Accordingly October IS next
was designated as election day. Sen.
ators, deputies, municipal officers and
presidential electors will be voted
for, and the balloting will be conducted
in accordance with the laws of the
country already established. The
presidential electors will meet Novem-
ber Is to east their ballots for the chief
magistrate. The members of congress
and other officers OF the government
will be installed November Is. The

Minister Egan is very busy man at
present He is playing the role of in
tercessor for mercy toward the con-
quered.
That the junta is disposed to adopt .
merciful course toward its late ene-
mics is shown by the fact that it has
officially announced that free de-
parture from Chilli will be permitted.
Gen. Velasquez, Balmaceda's minister
of war, arrived here Tuesday night and
handed in his submission to the junta-
Chief of Police valdivisco also
arrived with the same object Col.
Stepahn, who, with twenty-five
cavalrymen was supposed to have
gone to the Argentine Republic as
q guerrilla, has been captured and
brought here. His cruelty and brutal
ity to the anti-Balmacedists who fell
into his power have aroused intense
feeling against him. He will be sum-
marily dealt with and punishment
inflicted upon him within few days.
MoLENDo, Peru, Sept. lO.-The
United Stated steamship Baltimore ar
rived at this port Wednesday. She had
on board eighteen refugees. including
Senior Banandoo, Balmacedo's minister
of the interior; Espinoza Domingo
Godez, late minister of state
and foreign affairs, and Perez
Montt. The family of Admiral Oscar
Viel, late intendente of Valparaiso,
who is now a refugee on board the
German man of war Sophie, were also
aboard. Permission was granted by
the Peruvian authorities to land the
refugees. This was accordingly done.

LOWER TARIFF ON GRAIN.

Germany to Make Further Concessions to
This Country-A Modified Schedule on
Grsin and Provisions Produced In the
United Stated to he Issued In Berlin.
WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Germany Is
going to follow its removal Of the EN-
barge on American pork by making
tariff concessions on grains and pro
visions from the United States. The
German government is not ready to adj
init this fact officially because the de.
tails have not been agreed
on, but in the near future q
proclamation may be looked for
from Berlin giving a modified tariff
schedule on this class of importations
from the United States. The plan is to
give this country the same concessions
that are given Russia under the favored
nation clause Of its treaty with Ger
many. Russia is selected because Of its
recent order prohibiting the expectation
of rye, which cut of an important
source Of Germany's food supply. The
German legation has been making in
quiries recently at Chicago and other
grain centers as to what the United
States could do in making good the
deficiency. This country has been
sending Germany 29,0O0,0OO to 3O.-
OOO,0 900 bushels: now it wants
$4,000, 900 bushels. Secretary Rusk
has had pet notion that il
the Europeans understood fully the
nutritious quality Of the Indian corn
or maize grown in the United States
they would draw largely on it to
make up for the frequent failure of
their wheat crop. So the attention OF
the German government was turned to
corn rs well as to rye and wheat
All these matters were dis
cussed in the negotiations for
the removal Of the pork em-
barge, and the suggestion that the
kaisers subjects would be pleased to
get American grain on more favorable
terms was well received, especially as
large element in the empire was
clamoring for it. The outcome was the
arrangement which is soon to be pro-
claimed at Berlin.
