WILL 1T CAUSE WAR?
Four of Our Marines Killed by Chilian
Marines In Valparaiso.

Four of Our Marines Killed by Chiliau
Marines In Valparaiso.
New YORK, Oct. 19.-The Herald has
a Valparaiso dispatch which runs thus
Three, perhaps four, American men,
of-warsmen were killed and several
others were more or less seriously
wounded in desperate street fight here
Friday afternoon with crowd of Chill
ian sailors.
The Chilians did not do all the fight
ing, for when the fight was ended a
number of them were found to be pretty
badly hurt, though, so far as | can as
certain now. none of them were killed.
The American blue jackets who were
engaged in the battle were from the
United States cruiser Baltimore, and
the Chilians were from the various war
ships now il the harbor. 1t is impossi-
BILE at present to get the full particulars
of the fight or the names of the killed
and wounded.
There are several accounts as to the
origin of the difficulty. One of them,
which seems plausible, is this: Ever
since the triumph of the junta there
has been a feeling among the lower
classes Of the people of marked hostility
to the Americans, and the blue jackets
from the American warships were some
times subjected to insult. 1t is alleged
that a party of men from the Baltimore,
ashore on liberty, met with the Chilian
men-of-warsmen.
The hatred of the Yankees led to some
insulting remark, which was resented by
one of the hotter headed Americans. and
this brought on the general fight which
was attended with such fatal results.
There was much excitement in the
city when the news of the fight spread.
The unfortunate affair is greatly re-
GREETED in official circles and among the
better class of citizens.

Little Change in Cotton.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 19.-Some of the re-
ports from the cotton fields the past
week show an improvement in the con-
dition of the crop as compared with last
week; a few are less favorable, but the
great majority indicate no change The
weather has been perfect for picking in
nearly every part of the cotton belt,
and the farmers have been rushing their
product to market in way that is
almost unprecedented.

The Worlds Fair to Have a
Tower That Will BE a Tower.
The Upper Landing to Be
1000 Feet Above Ground.

win Cost About $1,000, 900 and BE Suf-
tcientiy Large TO Accommodate Twen-
ty-Five Thousand People at One Time.
Some Figures Concerning the Proposed
Gigantic Structure.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1O.-The stars and
stripes, it was decided Friday, are to
wave 1,120 feet above the ground
higher than ever flag has waved before
unless it was in q balloon. 1t is to be
done during the worlds fair, from an
American tower that will out-Eiffel
Paris. Over $4,000 people will bs ac-
commodated in the tower at one time,
and two of the many elevators are to
start from the ground and run more
than 1000 feet up without change or
stop, directly to the outlook landing.
The width of the tower at the founda-
ton level is 440 feet in each direction.
After long continued negotiations, the
Keystone Bridge company, of Pittsburg,
one of Andrew Carnegie's concerns, has
made offers in writing that are satisfac-
tory to the promoters.
1t is estimated that the earning capac-
ity will be nearly four times that of the
Eiffel tower.
Figures.
The actual cost will be about 81 ,500,-
600. The cost of the Eiffel tower was o
little less than 81 ZOO, 900.
The three landings will be circular
platforms, the first $50 feet in dame
ter, and 200 feet from the ground. The
second will be $50 feet diameter, and
400 feet from the ground and the upper
landing, more properly called the Ian
tern, will be sixty feet in diameter, and
one thousand feet above the ground
At the first landing there will be q
grand colonnade around the outside fif-
teen feet wide and 73S feet mean cir
conference. On this colonnade 4 900 or
5000 people can be accommodated at
one time. Inside of this colonnade will
be space, in addition to the space re-
quired for elevators and machinery,
sufficient to build four hotels or restaur-
ants.
In addition to the restaurants, there
will be provided numerous kiosks or
booths, constructed in accordance with
the architecture, styles and customs of
various countries. which will be used
for the sale of curios, ornaments. fabrics
and other articles produced and manu-
factured in all lands
Within the restaurants 6,000 or
5000 guests may be comfortably
seated and served at one time. Within
and about the booths and surrounding
platforms 5000 more people will have
room to move about, make purchases,
etc.
The second landing is designed as q
grand promenade and picnic quarters in
the day time, and as dancing hall in
the evening. 1t will accommodate at
one time, 5000 or 5000.
The upper landing, to be finished as
the grand lookout, will be two or three
stories high. and accommodate at one
time, 1900 to 1900 people. Above this
will be the circular electric railway,
carrying electric light at night and sig
nails by day.
Above this is the lighthouse, to be
provided with the most powerful revolv-
ing light ever constructed, surmounted

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
No Treaty Likely to be Negotiated Until
the Present Tory Cabinet Falls.

No Treaty Likely to be Negotiated Until
the Present Tory Cabinet Falls.
WASHINGTON, oct. 19.-Several of
Csnada's public men are quietly drop
ping into Washington with view to as
certaining why it was that the reciproc-
ity conference set for Oct. 10 was SO
suddenly dropped. The prevailing opin-
ion among them is that our authorities
believe there is no real desire to have
any conference with the present Tory
government of Canada, and that we are
waiting a change of party power in Can
ada. This is the second conference
which has been declared off, and the
Canadian visitors want to find out if
there is not some underlying cause for
these repeated failures.
The President interviewed.
Thomas p. German, editor of the Of
tawa Free Press, is among the visitors.
Re called at the White House Friday
and had ten minutes talk with the
president concerning the cause of delay
and the attitude of the government to-
ward Canada. The president assured
Mr.. German that there was nothing in
the postpUnement further than that 1T
was not convenient to discuss the ques-
ton at the present time. He had only
good things to say of our northern
neighbors, and, IN general way, eX-
pressed the hope that more cordial rela-
tions would be established between the
two countries.
The Tories Blamed.
Notwithstanding this assurance, Mr..
Gorman and his associates believe that the
anti-character of the Tory party now in
power in Canada is the real cause Of the
failure to secure conference. The
ministers who have succeeded Sir John
Mcdonald entertain that bigoted ani-
mostly against the United States which
has long characterized the Tory party
of Canada and the mother country. 1t
is the remnant of the royalist stock,
which antedates the revolution. Put lie
opinion in Canada has forced the Tory
minister's to adopt pretense of rcci-
ptocity, but it offeuds their loyalist
views and is merely a surface effort to.
ward kindly relations with this country.
How Long win it BE.
The president and Mr.. Blaine fully ap-
preciate this and are said to be waiting
for the Tories to be turned out as is con-
fidently expected by public men here.
With Liberal government in power,
pledged to cordial relations with the
United States, there will be little difR-
Guilty in having the president and Mr..
Blaine. arrange u conference with the
Canadians. Mr.. Gorman and his asso-
ciates who are here are among the
most conspicuous Liberals in Canada.
They have not only talked with the
president. but with Senator Morgan,
Roger Q. Mills and other Democratic
leaders. On all hands the expression IS
general that the fall of the old Tory
Gigots in Canada will remove the last
obstacle in the way Of extended trade re-
lations between the two countries.
