Harrison accepts Chill's apology in the
broad and generous spirit in which it WAS
offered. Blaine.'' And cable to this effe ct
will follow: "Egan, Santiago, Chill.
While Chili's apology is, in terms, all this
country could ask, yet there is one
thing more to be done before the
dignity OF the United States will be fully
satisfied. Chill must salute the stars

decision at a meeting of the

cable, that is the one accepting the
apology, also states that the matter of in

BosroN, Jan. 29.-"Butler's book" was
issued to-day. In the preface the general
gives as one reason for the publication: ITO
correct much wrong done to myself BY the
prejudiced Misrepresentation of facts and
circumstan ces as to my own aims in the
service OF the country" Gen. Butler asserts
that Salmon p. Chase sent friend to him
to Fortress Monroe to solicit him to accept
the vice presidential nomination Of the re-
publican party in case Chase secured frat
place, and that Simon Cameron made a
similar proposition on behalf of Lincoln
less than three weeks after. He gives
his reason for the refusal of both offers.
He maintains his position taken
in the controversy over the conduct of the
late Admiral Porter at New Orleans, md
declares that the latter acted untruthfully
and villainously, and also charges Porter
and snbordinates with the failure OF the
powder boat plan at Fort Fisher. He
brands as utterly false tho charge of Gen.
w. i. Smith that Grant was drunk before
Petersburg, and c1iticises Smith sevetely.
He closes the work With a summary OF
things done by him and says that in all
military movements he never met with

WARRINGTON, Jan. 20.--The national board
of trade to-day adopted an address urging
congress- to pass the Torrey bankruptcy
bill. The committee on amendments TO
the Interstate commerce act submitted a
number OF resolutions. which were adopted.
They are, in brief, that corporations, as
we'll az their agents and employees be in
dictable; that the reports and findings of
the commission havs the force and effect Of
reports of masters in chancery in case of
subsequent judiciary proceedinRs to au-
thOrize and empower the Interstate COM
msrce commission to employ competent
and permanent counsel to represent them
in any litigation they find necessary. "A
resolution was alao adopted urging ON the
president the wisdom Of filling vacancies
on the interstate commerce commission BY
the appointment of men belonging to this
class Of trained transporters or capable
merchants or manufacturers.
The board then resumed consideration Of
regarding dealing in futnres. After long
debate q resolution was adopted, declaring
that while the board recognizes the evils
resulting from excessive trading in agricul-
tural and other products, and

other crops of the country at the smallest

it deprecates any legislation laying tax
upon, or interfering in any way
with the freedom of commercial
transactions in such products. whether for
immediate or future delivery, believing
that any interference with tho established
methods OF business men, which are the
result of natural laws and necessaries Of
trade, would be detrimental. to public in
terssts. The resolutions also express OPP
position to the Butterwerth anti-option
bill.
The silver question was taken up and q
resolution adopted msmorializing the exec
utive and legislative departments Of the
national government to promote and secure
at the earliest practicable date an interna-
tional conference for the adjustment of a
fixed ratio between gold and silver, and
declaring that until such international
ratio is secured. any and all
legislation aiming at the free coinage of
silver or the repeal of the present law
should be strenuously opposed. Resolution
was also adopted, after much debate, ask
ing congress to take steps looking to the

whether ths charter and operations Of that
agency are not in violation Of the rules Of
the United stater. This resolution was re-
fsrred to the committee on Judiciary.
Watson to-day appeared before tho COM
mittee and made an arguments in favor of
the resolution. He insisted that 1t was tho
duty OF congress to investigate thoroughly
abuses that have grown up under the prac-
tices OF Pinkertonism and take prompt
steps to suppress the qnnsi-nlilitia organi-
zation which has been fostered by capital
lists alone and which US the paid agent of

Oates (Ala.) while disclaiming any de-
expressed some doubts hs to the ability OF
congress to legialate upon this subject,

able data, that the general elections, If
taken soon, will Rive Gladstone majority

Liberal ranks. at the same tins weakening
the unionists. For, among the unexpected
results OF the Rossendale election. the
impending rupture between dissidents and
conservatives is most important. The min

until Easter to estimates The Irish local
government bill will be introduced on the
verge OF the Easter recess, and the second
reading will be had Immediately after re-
cess. The n,inisterialists rely upon OBJ
struction to the measure to a6o them
reasonable excuse for an appeal to the
country. About 120 members will not seek
re-elsotion. Others, especially conserva-
tives. knowing the ministerial plans, will
not take residences for the season.
The conservative rural conference, in i'm
itation of the recent liberal conference,
proved burlesque of popular gathering.
