BREVITIES.

Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow;
1t strayed away one summer day
Where lambs should never go.
Then Mary sat her quickly down,
And tears streamed from her eyes;
She never found the lamb because
She did not advertise.
And Mary had brother John,
Who kept village store;
He sat down smoked his pipe
And watched the open door.
And as the people passed along
And did not stop TO buy,
John still sat and smoked his pipe,
And blinked his sleepy eye.
And SO the sheriff closed him out,
But still he fingered near,
And Mary came. to drop with him
A sympathetic tear.
" How is it, sister, can you tell
Why other merchants here
Sell all their goods SO readily
And thrive from year to year,"
Remembering her own bad luck
The little maid replies:
"These other fellows get there, John,
Because they advertise.

The Use of Coffee.

1t is asserted by men Of high
professional ability that when the
system needs a stlmulant nothing
equals cup of fresh coffee. Those
who desire to rescue the drunkard
from his cups will find no better
substitute for spirits than strong,
new-made coffee without milk or
sugar. Two ounces of coffee, or
one-eighth of pound, to one pint
of boiling water makes first-class
beverage, but the water must be.
boiling, not merely hot. Bitterness
comes from boiling it too long. If
coffee required for breakfast be put
into a graniteized kettle over night
and a pint of cold water poured
over, it can be heated to just the
boiling point and then set back to
prevent further ebullition, when it
will be found that, while the
strength is extracted, its delicate
aroma is preserved. AS our coun-
try consumes nearly ten pounds OF
coffee per capita it is a pity not to
have it made in the best manner.
1t is asserted by those who have
tried 1t that malaria and epidemics
are avoided by those who drink a
cup of hot coffee before venturing
into the morning air. Burned on
hot Goals it is disinfectant for q
sickroom. By some of our best
physicians it is considered specific

Spec ial to the Gazette.

spec lal TO the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-At II O'Clock this
morning Secretary Blaine and Assistant
Secretary Wharton arrived at the state de-
partment. They engaged in preparing an
answer to the defiant reply of the CHILEAN
junta. 1t is not at all certain, however,
that the reply to Chill will be framed at
present, or, if it is, that it will be given out
at Washington. Secretary Blaine finds
himself in q very embarrassing position.
and this fact is not concealed by department
officers, neither is any attempt made to dis
credit the impression that the administra-
ton regards the CHILEAN situation as very
serious, not altogether because of the dam
ger that a declaration of war may become
necessary, but because negotiations have
taken such turn that even the diplomatic
ShreWdneSS and ingenuity of Secretary
Blaine are hesitating to find way out.
The secretary and president and all Of
the official advisers are indignant at the re-
ply of the Gillian minister of foreign affairs
and regard it as impudent in the highest
degree. Still they are at loss to know
what course to pursue The demand for an
apology for the insult to the United States
is met by an impudent refusal as yet. Ac-
cording to the state department officers,
and recorded precedentS there is but one of
two courses to pursue, either to grant the
Gillian government time to make an inves-
cation as Blaine compelled Marquis Rudini
10 no Ilt lJalldu controversy ldSG
spring, or repeat the demand for imme-
date PREPARATION backed by threat of war
in case of refusal.
What Blaine now wants to find out is
whether the sentiment of the country is to
support him in a bullying lingo policy to-
wards Chill or whether he had better take
the advice of some of his really good
friends, and withdraw Egan from Santiago
under the pretense of offended dignity, thus
getting rid of a thoroughly bad appointee
whom Republicans here discountenance as
strongly as Democrats, and starting with a
fresh page when diplomatic relations are
resumed, as they will undoubtedly be as
soon as the CHILEAN feeling of irritation
caused by Egan's retention is allayed
1t is assured that any demonstration by
the United States would be watched with
concern by British feet, and that if de-
termination to shell the city was reached by
this government, the lives and property of
the subjects of Great Britain would have
to be considered. The suggestion of British
Intervention is not likely, however, to deter
the United States from following a course
that will compel respect for our flag, and an
expression of regret for taking the lives of
men wearing the uniform of the United
States. If Great Britain is influential in
Chill it is believed that its power could be
exercised beneficially to bring the Gillian
authorities to their senses soon.

Pure Speculation.

WASHINGTON. Oct S0-Following the
p1b.ita ion iii the morning newspapers of
he text of the minister's cablegram from
Santiago, there was naturally 2 good deal
G. >ityulation among department officers as
= tile next step to be taken in the matter.
Ac cl-mer Judgment of the day was re-
Lec,ed IN general belief that peaceful
solution of the difficulties that have arisen
between the junta and the government of
Inc lLited States will be reached. It is
h.l',er Of remark that IN their reply to Min
Ser Egan the junta Officially stated that
TWO separate inquiries 10y administrative
snQ judicial authorities) have been insti-
Iuted by them into the matters of which he
complained. So. while there is reason to
question the spirit in which Minister
Egan's communication was received by the
!llta. it appears that the first point aimed
a by the United States government,
namely, promise of investigation, has
been conceded. As to the second point,

Can hardly be expected that this will be

New YORK, Oct. fitzpatrick Egan is 10
be recalled as minister to Chilli immedi-
ately after the November elections, not on
account Of the Baltimore episode, but on
the demand of the Gillian government, ac-
cordlng to the statement of gentleman in
this city who is in the confidence of the
present Gillian government, and who is in
constant communication with Valparaiso,
Santiago, Lima and other South American
ports in Chill and Peru. The circumstances
are as follows:
the junta after the downfall of Balmaceda,
that body cabled to Senior Pedro Montt in
Washington. directing him to assume
charge of the Chilian legation at Washing
ton as soon as the government of the Com
gressional party in Chill should be
recognized by the United States.
Neither the state department nor the
CHILEAN legation of Balmaceda at
Washington would recognize the cable
credentials of Senior Montt but told him
that when duly written instructions We're
received from Chilli the legation and the
department of state would then receive
him MONTH as Chili's representative in
the United States. The fact of Months
appointment as Gillian minister at Wash
ington was also communicated to Minis
ter Egan IN Santiago with the request that
the latter inform the department of state
by cable of Months status in the United
States, as Montt had cabled his govern
ment that he would be obliged to await his
photographic credentials.
1t is not known that Egan ever cabled this
to Washington so that Montt had to await
the receipt of his formal credentials as min
lister of Chill until their arrival by the Co.
Ion via Panama few days ago, and he lost
no time in presenting them to the state de-
partment on Wednesday last. AT the same
time that Senior Montt was cabled to re-
garding his appointment as minister he re-
ceived instructions through the same chan
mel to demand in Chili's name the recall of
Minister Eigan as person non grata to the
present Gillian authorities.
This request of Chilli was also shelved
to await the arrival of Months credentials,
and it is believed in Chill as well as
in Washington that Egan knew that the
CHILEAN government did not want him and
used the slow process of mail to inform the
state department of Months appointment
as minister. 1t is now stated on the same
authority that Chill has again demanded
Egan's recall and that the state department
will reply to the Gillian government after
the elections have taken place, accordin G to
Chili's request.

As ChillanS Tell 1t,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Senor Pedro
Montt, official representative of the Gillian
government at Washington, has just re-
ceived the following dispatch from the Chi
liam minister of foreign affairs:
SANTIAGO, CHILL, Oct. 30.-An investi-
cation was instituted Immediately, and con-
tinUes with all diligence, and is not yet fin
ished. The trouble began in the street and
1t became 4 tumult. At 6 p. N. regular SOL
diors, police and the special guard of the in
ten lente restored order. OF the combat
ants, thirty Americans and eleven Chilians
were committed before the judicial authori-
ties. They fought with knives, stones and
everything they could lay their hands upon.
There was one killed and several wounded.
1t is estimated that there were 100 sailors
from the Baltimore on shore at the time of
the tumult.''
1t is suggested by a CHILEAN friend of
Senior Montt that the disparity between the
numbers of arrests of Americans and Chi
lians was perhaps due to the readiness with
which the latter would find concealment,
whereas American sailors, wearing uni
forms and being strangers, were readily
apprehended

Testing Armor Plate.

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-Navy department
officials evidently have no expectations of
the immediate outbreak of war. Secretary
Tracy with few friends and naval officers
left the navy department before the close
of Office hours, boarded the Blake and
steamed down the river to the proving
ground at Indian Head. The party
will remain there over night and all day to-
morrow to witness tests of armor plate
The assistant secretary will leave Wash
ington tomorrow morning for the same
place on the Vesuvius. Commodore Ram
say, in charge of the navigation bureau,
without whose knowledge not naval ship
moves, said that SO far as he knew
there had not been single order
issued bearing on the Gillian situation
during the past week. Naval officers in
charge of the various bureaus in the navy
yards also stated that there were no un-
usual preparations going on in their re-
spective departments. Altogether, there
was an air Of serenity and everyday hum

Will Have to Surrender.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Stil another
naval officer said: "We have before
US demonstration of the wisdom of
Washington's maxim, In time of peace,
prepare for war Some of those who are
now arguing for vigorous and warlike
demonstrations are men whose care
it should have been to prepare us
for such an emergency. The navy
department has been trying to impress upon
congress the Importance of providing coal
ing stations in, both the Atlantic and Pa
cific, but nothing has been done and we are
now without means of coaling our vessels
in those waters. We have neither coaling
stations nor dry docks in that vicinity.
In case we go to war with Chilli
all countries between here and Chill will be
neutral They will have line of vessels
from San Francisco to Chilli Our vessels
getting their bottoms so foul that all their
speedy qualities will be destroy
ed and if the Chilians could
cut off our coal supplies, we
would soon be in bad condition, moreover
it would be necessary for our vessels to sail
back to San Francisco to have their bottoms
cleaned, and the only thing to do would be
to capture port and coaling station
SHOULD there be hostilities," said one of
the diplomats, land do not easily see how
they can now be avoided, you need not look
for any great naval engagement in Gillian
water. Tour enemy seeks loud-Soundlng
glory, and would send one or two of his
ships to your Pacific coast. No one would
know whittier they had gone until they ap-
peared in San Diego or San Francisco har-
Dor, and then there would be trouble. You
do not think men who are not ignorant can
be SO foolish, but you do not know these
Chilians. Their bravado is something
wonderful. Insane, l grant you, but
nevertheless wonderful. Such con-
flict could have but one result. Gillian ar
rogance would be laid in the dust, but these
hot-headS would have caused considerable
damage to some of your coast cities, for you
have no Notifications worthy OF the name.
You have many fine war ships, though. and
to US who know the desires of your antago-
nists it would not be surprising if naval
engagement in one of your California har-
bors were to take place within sixty days"
Senator Edmunds called on the secretary
of the navy, and in response to an inquiry
he said he had not followed Gillian affairs
and was not sufficiently conversant with
the case to express an opinion as to the
present situation. He said, however, that
he was sure that this government would
be firm and just and do the right thing, and
in the right way. He hoped the Chilians
would be reasonable enough and sensible
enough to act properly.
A reporter saw Senator Cullom after he
had had an interview with Secretary Tracy.
Speaking OF Chillan affairs, the senator
said:
s'The situation looks very ugly Those
little chaps down there are very saucy, and
1 think we shall be obliged to give them a
lesson. II they do not change their tactics
at once the only thing for US to do is to
send our warships down there and give
them the mischief"

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct 3O-Late dis
patches from Mexico say it is given on au-
thority of President Diaz that the $3.50, 600
granted for the Worlds Columbian exposi-
ton by congress is only for preparatory ex-
penses, and that another appropriation
later on will be made for ex-
penses in Chicago, while the diff
ferent states will make liberal
concessions for their separate displays and
national display will be made besides.
Mexico will Guido herself and make fine
exhibit. President Diaz himself is taking
special interest in the Chicago fair.
Lieut.. Baker, Worlds fair commissioner,
has gone to Guanajuato.
There is considerable feeling being dis
played here because money is being raised
by Mrs. President Diaz for the benefit of
the victims of the floods in Spain, whilst
victims of scarcity of provisions in several
of the states of Mexico are dying of hunger
and no aid has yet been sent to them.
United States Consul Guenther and James
Matthews have settled their difficulties, so
far as proceedings for criminal libel of the
former against the latter are concerned, and
the court has dismissed the case.
