WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsnINnroN. Oct. 10. 1

Of the government to Secretary Blaine
again. This is doubtless true, but il one
may judge from the expressions Of opin-
ion from persons Of all shades Of polit-
ical belief, demands of this government
upon that of Chill regarding the robbing
of United States sailors, which was made
public this week, and which although
signed by Assistant Secretary of State
Wharton, was written by Mr.. Harrison,
demonstrates that Mr.. Harrison is an
adept in the preparation of State papers.
1t would be difficult for any one to put
that dispatch in more appropriate Ian
guage, and fortunately upon such ques-
tions as this all patriotic Americans,
without regard to their political affilia-
tons, occupy precisely the same position.
Secretary Blaine had talk with Senior
Montt, who has been appointed CHILEAN
minister to the United States, this week,
but as the new minister's credentials
have not arrived the talk was entirely
informal. Senior Mont expresses the
greatest friendship for the United States,
but he has friend and associate who
lives at the CHILEAN legation in this city.
that loses no opportunity to express the
contempt which he says the Chilians
feel for this government and its people.
At one time this fellow, whose name is
Foster, claimed to be secretary of the
legation, but now he says he has no Off
cial connection Herewith. 1t might be
said of Foster, as Commodore Wander
bilt one said of one of his sons-in law
" He is more kinds of a blank fool than
any mau ever saw"
Criticism of public men without just
cause never helps anybody or anything.
The best friends of temperance regret
that an attack, in the name of temper
ance, has been made upon President Har- |
rison, not for anything that he has done
or left undone, but because Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie, the Scotch-American million
aire, has announced that he had sent a
barrel of Scotch whisky to the White
House as present to Mr.. Harrison. 1t
by no means follows that Mr. Harrison
will drink this whisky because it Was
given to him, indeed he would have to
have an ostrich stomach if he drank all
the liquids sent by cranks and friends to |

al habits were more temperate than those
of Mr.. Harrison, and no President has
been more sincere friend to those ei
gagged in temperance work, therefore it
is hard to understand why he should be
subjected to harsh criticism for some
thing that he had nothing whatever to
do with.
On November IL the National Council
of Administration of the G. A. II. will
meet In this city for the purpose of de.
Gliding upon the date for holding the
National encampment next year, and
also for the examination of documentary
evidence showing that the Washington
executive committee has secured the re-
quired concessions from hotel keepers
and railroads and complied with other
stipulated requirements. All these things
and more have been done. Every hotel
keeper in Washington has bound himself
in writing not to add one cent to his
regular charges during the encampment.
A number of officials went over to
Baltimore Wednesday afternoon to wit
ness the launching of the steel cruiser
Detroit, which was success. 1t is
thought that tie twin vessel to the De-
troit, which is also to be built at Balti-
more. will be christened Mobile.
A naval court of inquiry is investigat-
ing the recent wrecking of the U. S. s.
Dispatch. II seems that the accident
was caused by the executive officer chang.
ing the sailing orders of the commander,
owing TO his installing one light for an.
other, at least that's the way the testimo-
ny so far taken makes il look.
"This Is no political headquarters"
said an official at the Farmers Alliance
headquarters when asked for political
news from Ohio. Whatever action in
dividual members of the organization
may take the National Alliance has not
yet gone into politics"
Hon. Jerry Simpson, who passed thru
Washington this week, says the Alliance
