The Persistent Pressure Msds BY Chils for
His Removal.

His Removal.
The rumors OF demand by Chile for the re-
call OF Minister Egan were continued today
with more persistency than yesterday,
though no definite news on the sub
ject could be obtained. Secretary Blaine stated
this afternoon that the stories did not
emsnate from information legitimstely
obtained from this government. Senior
Montt had Q conference with Mr.. Blaine at
the latter's house lasting fully two hours. at
the conclusion Of which the Secretary took Q
long walk.
1t is ascertained that the minister has been
IN possession for at least six weeks of positive
instruction from his government to ask for
the recall Of Mr.. Egan, but that he did not
ntilize 1t immediately. There is a growing be-
hef that he has been pressed by his govern
ment to urge that change be made and that
ne has made q verbal request 10 that
eHect: 1t Is by no means certain, however.
that the demand has been formally made, Mt
least, no action has been taken by the depart
meut
The correspondence will probably be sub
mitted to Congress Monday.

The most of the villages are managed on the
communal system, and it was a surprise to me
to know that of these hundred odd million peas
ants, only the fewest have any lands of their
own. The most of the lands are owned by the
villages as villages, and family belonging to
a village has sort of an undivided interest in
certain amount of land belonging to the
village. This the village cannot sell, and as
the system is it seems impossible that the COM
munal system should ever entirely die out in
Russia. 1t seems to me that this system is one
of the causes of the poor agriculture which l
find all over Russia. Was this land we'll farmed
it could feed the whole world, and its people
would be the richest instead of among the
poorest Of nations. But as 1t is, these people
don't care to put improvements OIL lands that
next year may be taken from them by the viii
lage elders or the village assembly and given to
The National tribune., 1892-08-11

as much as the biggest tablespoon, and they
form the eating arrangement OF the Russian
peasantry. l saw no knives or forks ON the ia
hles. There are no plates and no dishes OF any
kind. The bread used was the black bread l
