The President will this week sent
70 Congress al Of the corrsspon
dsnes which has passed between thi,
country and Chilli. together with |
special message. in which il i sup'
posed that be will make recommsn-
dation smbodying his ideas Of the du.
81 OF Congress in the premises. While
this does not necessarily mean war Il
certainly points that way. About
the only basis for thinking that Wal
wiii be avertsd 10 the belief that Chill
will II the last minute sss the folly
ri going into war il which she Il
bound 70 sss thrashed, and make an
abject apology.
Il i pleasing TO note that the Pres
idsnt has the cordial support not only
pf his own party, but Of many Of the
prominent democrats N Congress.
One Of the lAttsr, Representative Mo-
Crsary, Of kentucky, who has for !
number 81 years bssn one Of The load
ing members OF the committee on
Foreign affairs Of the House, said on
the subject: ssSoon after Congress

believe that the President has acted
10 : vigorous and manly vAy in this
matter. ! am sure that the course
81 the United States will be digniRsd,
hrn and courageous. Whatever the
result may BE- ! do not think we can
be charged with having rushed into
war, or that W shall suffer any loss
Of dignity."
The msansst thing in connection
with this whole Gillian business 10
The attempt which has been made BY
: newspaper man, who il credited
with having been in the pay Of the
CHILEAN rsvolutionist while they were
trying to get recognition from this
government, before the fail Of the
Balmaosda government in Chill, by
carefully wordsd iAnusndo to make
y appear that Secretary Blaine has
become : "psace 1t any price" man,
in consequence Of business under
standing he has had with ex-Mayor
Grace, Of Now York, who has large
moneysd interest at stake in Chill,
and who Is naturally in favor Of peace
between tho two countries. In Wash.
jngton, whore the cause Of this mans
personal enmity 10 known, nothing
that hs can say carries any weight.
He lacks the courage TO openly At
lack Mr.. Blaine, and, in keeping with
his character, veats his spleen by
printing snsaking psragraphs when.
ever the opportunity presents itself,
containing covert alings and slurs .,
him. He il spoken of even by those
who associate with him a. the Captain
Dalgstty Of journalism. II is hardly
nsosssary 20 say that people Of this
country know the man too we'll to be-
lave that James G. Blaine will ever
be found occupying any position up.
on any question that is not compati-
bic with the Hottest American patri-
otism.
Gen. NJ. G. Msigs, u. s. A. retired,
died here on Saturday with tho grip.
From his appointment to Wsst Point
in 1882 to tho date Of his death he
filed positions Of great honor and
greater responsibility, and he filed
them all we'll.
Pension Commissioners Rsum has
detailed 80 extra clerks to assist in
pushing the work OF the Pension
Board Of Review.
Although few republicans here ap-
peared to have at 6rss thought OF ok
Representative Perkins in connection
with the Kansas Ssntorship. his ap-
pointment by the Governor to gil the
nnexpirsd term Of the late Senator
Plumb was very we'll received. Mr..
Perkins has had 8 years experience
In congressional life aud that no will
ably serve his state in the Senate
cannot be de doubted.
A very determined effort is being
made by the Democratic leaders to
bring about an outward appearance
oil harmony in the house, but they are
far from being successful. The
Cleveland and Mills men have been
snubbsd and bslittlsd by Speaker
Crisp. The Crisp men having COB
bled up the most desirable places,
they are now trying TO mollify the
Mills men by feeding them tsify.
