nlni.ter Ega n Talks Plain to Chill.


The Gillian government has so far evil
denced no intention of abandoning its posi-
ton that il has perfect right to arrest
persons as they enter or leave precincts OF
the American legation. But while strenu
ously insisting upon the possession of this
abstract right the government is at present
making no attempt TO put it in practice.
The partisans of Balmaceda who took re-
fuge under Minister Egan's roof are still
there and no arrests have been made dur
ing the past few DAYS. 1t cannot be learned
that the government has in contemplation
any plan for asserting in the near future
the right OF arrest that is claimed. But it
is thought that the present unsatisfactory
situation cannot be of long continuance.
In accordance with instructions received
from the state department at Washington
Minister Egan has given the junta to un-
derstand, by formal and official notice.
that if the Chill an authorities continue 10
maintain their present attitude the friendly
relations between Chill and the United
States will be interrupted. The junta's
reply to this notice is awaited with great
interest What Minister Egan's next step
will be in case the reply is unfavorable is
not known. The United States flagship
San Francisco, which is returning from
the north. is expected to reach Valparaiso
some time this week. When she gets in
port the present plan OF the American
minister Is TO ask the Chilian government
TO allow the refugees now at the United
States legation TO go on board the United
States man-of-war Baltimore and 10 take
heir departure from Gillian territory.

A Very Clever Express Train Robbery.

Special American express train No. 81,
between Buffalo aud New York city. due
at Utica, n. Y, at $40 n m, Wednesday
was robbed between Utica and Little Falls.
The robber brought the train TO a stand
still mile east OF Utica by applying the
air-brakes by means of the valve in the
car and he then escaped in the darkness.
The express agent in charge OF the car was
b. A. Moore. 1t seems the robber bored the
front door of the car and got the fastenings
open and surprised Moore while at work.
He covered Moore with a revolver ana
sorted over the packages, taking such as
be supposed were valuable. 1t is not
known how much was taken, but one pack
age of s., 900 in currency was concealed by
Moore and was therefore saved. The rob-
Ter was masked. Moore continued on the
train. He has been in the employ OF the
company ten or twelve years and there is
no probability that his story is other than
true.
