Young Blairts Wanted to Compromise.
 NEW YORK, Dec. A.-For several days past the friends of MT. and Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., have been using every exertion to smooth over the domestic troubles of the couple and prevent the divorce suit from coming to trial. All these efforts, however, will have to be abandoned, as apparently nothing less than decree on the ground of abandonment will satisfy Mrs. Blaine.

NO FIGHT WITH CHILL
THAT IS WHAT EMINENT OFFICIALS S
 AT WASHINGTON SAY.

Naval Contractor Cramp Declares That
 the Government Has Not Requested
 Him to Hurry Along the Construction
 of Warships His Firm Is Building.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-There have been no developments in the Chilian episode, but . number of rumors have been set at rest by positive statements from high officials of the government. The sensational report that had been made to move 10000 troops by transports in order to place them on Chilian soil ''vcry soon after war is formally declared" was read with much amusement by Acting Secretary of War Grant.
 Not a Plan for Moving Troops.
 Ut seem hardly necessary to deny such 8 story" said General Grant, "but you may as we'll say that it is utterly without founda- tion. Not plan has been formed for nov ing troops with the Chilian episode in view, nor has single soldier been detailed for any special duty as the result of this so called war cloud. The talk is all nonsense and these reports are worse than idle ru- mOrs.
 The Possibility Not Even Considered. 1.-The statement that General Miles had been selected to command the land forces in case of war with Chili is equally ridicu- lous. The department has not even con- sidered the possibility of 8 conflict with Chili, and of course has not considered the appointment of any officer to command the | army in such an emergency. The only war | like demonstration which the department is now engaged in is an effort to get few soldiers together to prevent the Mexican | bandit, Garza, from crossing our borders" What Contractor Cramp Says. MT. Cramp, the naval contractor, who is l in this city, says:
 "In spite of the reports to the contrary have received no instructions from the de- partment to hurry up the work on the naval l vessels now building at my yard. In fact, /! Commodore Wilson, the chief constructor, who went over to Philadelphia on Saturday | to inspect the progress of the naval work, 1 did not find 8 single man of our ,, 900 em- ployees at work. I do not believe that halt our force is at work today, as many of the men are keeping the holiday season."
 Assistant Secretary Soley today repeated the statement that the San Francisco is not bound for Chilian port.

The Bribery Matter.

An effort is being made to create the i'm
preston that friends of Senator Gordon
brought about the investigation into the
alleged attempt to buy the votes of certain
members during the senatorial contest,
which occurred during the first session of
the present legislature, and that the purpose
was to injure Col. Livingston. TIE testi-
mony Of Mr.. E. p. Willis, president of the
| Muscogee county alliance, shows that
Senator Gordon's friends are not in any
way responsible for the investigation.
Col. Livingston, assuming that Mr.. Willis
testimony is correct. is responsible for it.
He alone did the talking which led to the
investigation. He told Mr.. Willis, so the
latter says, that eight members came to
him and Mr.. Calhoun and offered to vote
for Mr.. Calhoun for money consideration,
and Col. Livingston said he had the names
of these members who wanted to be bribed.
1t must not be forgotten that Mr.. Willis
was a most unwilling witness, being great
admirer of both Col. Livingston and Mr..
Calhoun. 1t is not likely, therefore, that he
stated anything which Col. Livingston did
not tell him.
But Col. Livingston, when before the in
vestigating committee. did not talk so freely
and frankly as he talked to Mr.. Willis. Tt
the investigating committee he did not ad-
nit that he knew of any member who haC
offered to vote for Mr.. Calhoun for money
There is discrepancy between the testi
mony of Col. Livingston and that OF Mr.
Willis, and 1t is 30 apparent that the In
vestigating committee will be inclined
probably, to recall Col. Livingston with tn
view of finding out if he has not some mean
of refreshing his memory.
But, whether any other testimony i
brought out or not. enough has been OBJ
tanned to show that there would have beel
no investigation at all if it had not been 70
the statement that Col Livingston made t,
Mr.. Willis. 1t was this statement whicl
induced the legislature to order an investiga
ton.

aan Street and the PARK Extension.

Hall Street and the PARK Extension.
The city council acted rather hastily in
refusing to adopt alderman Bailey's resolu
ton to appoint a committee to confer with
the military organizations with view of
getting their consent to the opening Of Hall
street through the park extension. The
fact that the city attorney is OF the opinion
that the street cannot be opened without
the consent of the military organizations
ought not to have been considered as finally
settling the matter.
The number OF people who are interested
in having the street opened is much larger
| than the council seems to think it is. and
they are entitled TO have every reasonable
effort made to have the street opened.
That the street can only be opened with
the consent of the military Organizations
is question that may be considered az
settled, and the belief is that those orgali-
cations would not consent to have any street
opened through the extension, but no one
can say positively that they would not con-
sent if the matter were brought before
them properly Many of their own mem
bers would be benefited by having the street
opened, and hundreds of ,ople who are
liberal supporters of the military organiza-
tions whenever the organic atoms ask for as
sistance are very DESTROYS that it shall be
opened.
The council seems to have the idea that
nobody wants the street opened. 1t Is
greatly mistaken. If it had taken the
trouble to inquire into the matter it would
have been surprised, perhaps, that the num-
Der who favor the proposed improvement is
SO large.
Alderman Bailey's resolution. if it had
been adopted, would have cost the
city nothiog and would have placed the re-
sponsibility for the failure to open the street
upon the military organizations if they les
fused their consent. And there was a
chance that they would not have refused
after the matter had been carefully consid-
cred by them and it had appeared that the
extension would not have been injured in
the least as a parade ground. The least
that can be said is that the council did not
give the matter the careful consideration to
which it was entitled.

investigations Not in order.


1t Qhad been we'll understood Tor
months that Gov. Northen intended 70
make charges Of some kind against CoL
Livingston, president Of the state Alliance
at the August convention Of the allance'
The delegate from Oylethorpe. Rev. J. u.
Gibson, attempted TO ges bearing
in the convention for the purpose
of making a personal explanation with
respect to the celebrated caucus that
was held at the goverho 5 manson several
months ago but it was denied hlfn' ne
also introduced a resolution providing for
an investigation of certain charges against
Col Livingston. with the view of having
the charges investigated before the election
for president of the alliance. The resolu-
ton was voted down. and resolution ex-
pressing confidence in Col. Livingston was
almost unanimously adopted.
! It's apparent that Col. Livingston did
not want an investigation, and did not in
tend that those hostile TO him should be
| heard. He had absolute control of the con-
venuion. and he conducted It's proceedings
to suit himself.
In view of the fact that Col Liviugston's
friends had been Boosting that he would be
ready at the convention to meet any
charges that the governor and his friends
might make his refusal to permit an inves-
tigation OF the charges which, it is under
stood, the governor intended to make. or
even to allow the charges to be brought be-
fore the convention, must appear to be most
remarkable by fair minded men.
l. II 1
charges9 1t would seem SO. The conven-
ton was composed almost wholly Of his
friends, and yet he used his power to sup
press an investigation. The impression that
unprejudiced people will have is that if
the charges are untrue he would have
welcomed au investigation.
The members of the convention may feel
that they have done Col. Livingston a great
service, but that will not be the feeling
throughout the state. The farmers have too
much good sense to follow leaders blindy.
They may be misled for awhile, but event
ually they will demand an accounting. The
truth will find its way to them, and then
they will promptly render judgment against
those who have deceived them.
1t is not generally known what the
charges against Col. Livingston are or
whether they are well founded or not, but
the refusal of Col. Livingston to permit
them to be brought before the convention
would seem to indicate that they are quite
serious, and that there is evidence TO sup
port them.
But, although beaten in the convention, it
is not probable that the governor will abau-
don them. 1t is safe to predict that he will
appeal to the public and let the public de-
eide whether or not he was justified in max
ing them. And if he adopts that course
Col. Livingston will have to answer them.
Even his stanchest friends would be sur
prised if he should attempt to ignore chem.
