ministerial duty is comprehension of the
situation by the Minister: frequent and
lucid reports to his Government of the
exact facts of the domestic conflict as he
sees it, or can ascertain concerning it.
Unless he does this, his Government will
be in constant danger of making a mis-
step. To prevent that is one of the chief
reasons why a Minister is sent abroad.
He is not only the representative of his
country, but in sense, it's adviser. I'm
less he does advise it of the exact facts,
in case of revolution or other disturb
ance affecting the relations of the country
abroad, his own nation cannot act with
discretion, and may most innocently fall
into serious error of action.
The Minister'S Government must know
from him the strength Of the contestants,
the issue over which they fight, the sue
cess which either attains, and the effect
Egan did not give such information to
the State Department at Washington by
which it could measure the truth or
falsity of the claims and representa-
tions Of the accredited agents of the
Congressionalists at Washington. The
truth is, that whether it is verify or not
that Mr.. Egan was biased strongly in favor
of Balmaceda, and was his partisan, his
conduct or his silence led the Congress
sionalists to believe that he was operating
against them. In consequence America
suffered in Chilean estimation, and still
does, and it may be that there will never
be restoration of cordially friendly rela-
tions between the two countries.
Mr.. Egan knew perfectly well that the
sympathy of the American people was
with the Congressionalists, and while he
should not have shown unfriendliness to
Balmaceda in consequence he was bound
to so comport himself as not to bring
upon our Government the anathemas of
the revolutionists in case of their sue
ceeding and who are now the actual gov
ernors of the Chilean State.
The apologists for Mr.. Egan make his
case worse the more they offer in its de-
fense. He is fit for removal because of
his past peculiar and studied failure to
report to this Government, however
much he may be qualified to remain as
our representative in Chile, now that the
war is over and his opportunities to
mdnder are fewer.

A TROUT STORY.
The Trick Played Upon an Ardent
Angler From Sacramento.

The Trick Played Upon an Ardent
Angler From Sacramento.
"P. III. r." sends from Oakland to the
Forest and Stream the following recital of
joke played upon Alvin j. Bruner of
this city, who was recently on camping
and fishing jaunt up along the South
Fork of the American River:
1.-THE doctor, Willis and I were spend
ing our vacation at Sugar Loaf Hotel, on
the South Fork of the American River.
One day, while seeking a suitable bath
ing place, we came upon the camp of
Alvin Bruner of Sacramento, friend of
the doctor. In making our retreat, as
we did not wish to visit the camp lust
then, we espied B. on the stream below
vainly enGeayoring to secure q rise to his
most enticing flies. We decided to help
him. Willis and the doctor cast small
pebbles so deftly as to initiate the splash
Of a fish jumping for the gnats that fairly
covered the surface.
''As poor B. would notice each success
sive splash in different place he was
kept busy casting his line, but without
success. Finally, giving up in despair, he
left the place; so did vein different
direction. We learned afterward through
q mutual friend who visited Bruner's
camp the wonderful stories of how the
stream was fairly living with fish (big
ones, too and of their perversity in re-
fusing to take his most tempting offer.
when Bruner learned of the deceit
practiced upon him, he was ready to 90
cunning if it were not for the law, grouse,
elk, deer and men being protected"

ApoLoeIzING For EGAN.

Mr.. Egan stin finds apologists. How
these friends of the Minister defend him
is something after this fashion: 'As
Minister he must take no part in do
mestic conflict in the country to which
he is accredited. lie must await the out
come and then report to his Government.
If be attempted to give his views of the
conflict during its progress, he would lay
himself open to the charge OF bias from
one or the other side"
This is ingenious. The true line of

Of marriage was urged strongly TO Sc

propose 70 a young woman while out
boating, for if she should happen 10 re.
fuse him it would be difficult TO reach

would obviously be awkward.
On the other hand. if she should nc.
cept him the situation would be equally
undesirable, since TOO close a proximity

man was advised never TO propose 10 a
young woman just before dinner. Hav-

she would, doubtless. be in a less ami

might, under these conditions. refuse
an offer which at another time would

The Nashville American of yester-
day contained an account of the ded-
ication of st. Patrick's Catholic
church, on South Market street, in
that city, the Rev. Father II. G. Abb
bott's new charge. Although it has
been but one year since this divine
first undertook the work of estab-
fishing church for the people in
that section, and though he met
with many barriers in the way of
success, he pressed bravely forward,
overcoming every difficulty, and
Sunday was dedicated to the cause of
the Master a beautiful monument,
more enduring than brass, and which
will help to immortalize this talented
young Clarksvillian.
Father Delaney acted as master of
ceremonies, while Bishop Rade.
macker blessed and dedicated the
church. The Very Reverend Father
Gleeson, long the pastor of the Cath.
oIic church here, preached the dedi-
catory sermon. The church was
handsomely decorated with flowers
and evergreens, and presented fine
appearance. After the sermon a col
lection was taken up to liquidate the
debt on the pews, which was liber
ally responded to.
Immediately after the dedicatory
exercises an elegant banquet was
given at the residence of Father
Abbott, which was enjoyed by the
Bishop and many other prominent
atholics.

CRIMINAL COURT.
Hung Jury in the Marion Davie Forgery
Case.

The court house was well filled
ali yesterday morning with citizens,
anxious to hear the closing argument
in the Marion Davie case, which
was concluded and given to the jury
about o'clock. The jury, however,
failed to agree, standing eight for ac-
quiltal and four for conviction. The
point of disagreement was fault in
the indictment, which charged for
gerry, and failed to locate the crime
in this county and State, and also
failed to charge the attempt to pass
forged paper.
The grand jury is now in session
and it is understood that the indict-
ment will be amended. The case
was hotly contested on both sides
and much interest manifested. The
proof was that the instrument was
executed at Noah's Spring, where
Davie claimed that he paid Kendrick
$1,000 as a credit on his mote for
$4,000, for whicH Kendrick executed
the receipt in question, which is pro-
nouEced forgery. Both the indict-
ment and evidence failed to show
whether Noah's spring is in Tennes-
see or Kentucky. Col. House made
the point that Noah was surrounded
by flood and had no spring. The
point was made by the prosecution
that it made no difference where the
forgery was committed, or the name
signed, that it was no forgery until
uttered, and that it never became a
forgery until the attempt was made
to pass on Mrs. Kendrick, executrix,
az payment for debt due, and il was
in proof that this Offense was utter
ed in Montgomery county. These
were nice points of law and very
close shaving. Judge Munford
charged that the indictment
should set forth the character of
the crime and located the offense.
Judge Tyler is on the bench this
morning. Only one case is set for
to-day, that of Scott Garrison, charg-
ed with carrying pistol, which is a
regular standing case every court.

it; he is afraid somebody will hurt
