STILL rHEY SAY IRIS FOR LABOR.


It was a slick scheme Of buRcO the
protected manufacturers worked on the
Anal xamated Association when they

About three years ago steel biIlets
were the most highly protected pro-

The manufacturers, who dictated the
Mckinley schedules, said nothing, but
quietly went to Washington and had

steel billets so low that their price

JOHN McLUcKEY, one Of the locked-out

point:
"At the time Of the trouble of 1889, when

SANTIAGO, Via Galveston, Special to
the Associated Pressl, Jan. 2s.-There
is much quieter feeling here than was
evident yesterday and during the past
few days. The Chilian officials, how
ever, continue to express surprise at the
ultimatum forwarded from President
Harrison. The Associated press cores
pondent had an interview with one of
the most prominent officials of the
Chiiian foreign Office. The. correspon-
dent was courteously met and the con-
versation was free and cordial. In the
course of the interview it was shown
very plainly the foreign office would not
say in a direct manner that Minister
Montt had been deceived and misled,
and that any note or word was received
by him from the American secretary of
state; but it was evident the official
thought so. He said Blaine had all
along given Montt to understand a set.
tlement of the serious controversy be-
tween the two republics was being
reached, and that Blaine month ago
proposed submission to arbitration of
the outrageous assault upon the Balti-
more's sailors, and also agreed to accept
Months terms for the withdrawal of the
Malta telegram. It is asserted here
that Eagan informed the Chilian gov
ernment week ago that the questions
at issue were being settled. Egan de-
elared he said nothing of the kind. The
night of the receipt of the ultimatum, a
cable was received from Minister Montt,
advising the Chilian government to
stand firm, as all was favorable in
Washington. There is some excitement
here as to the outcome of the situation.
Everyone, from the highest official to
the most humble citizen, wishes to
know if the United States accepts the
terms of Chili's reply to President Har-
risons ultimatum

More Profit in opium.

SEATTLE, Jan. PSI. Hawkins, a
nurseryman, and R. D. Stewart, gro
Ger, were arrested tonight on a charge
of smuggling. Hawkins was caught on
Pike street with ten pounds of un-
STAN ped opium, which he was trying to
sell. Stewart was caught later. The
two men were led into the illicit busi-
ness by young man named Mcdonald,
to whom they advanced money until a
few weeks ago when he skipped. Haw-
kins and Stewart made separate trips to
Victoria and brought down ten pounds
each in their clothes.

for similar service on the Pacific coast,
and other arrangement. were made to
secure the delivery of 10000 tons of coal
a month at point convenient for naval
vessels. The plans contemplated the
early seizure of q Chilian port, for use as
a. base of supplies. These. preparations
entailed great expense, roughly esti-
mated at about $2,000,O00. The fore-
going estimate includes the coal, the
additional expense attending the push
ing Of the work on the vessels now under
contract, and the extra work at the DIFF
ferent yards and shops. The orders of
the officers and men of the Ohio have
been revoked, and the work of fitting
her out is suspended. The department
will now be busy for long time undo
ing many of its preparations and restor-
ing the naval establishment to its usual

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The following
the additional Chilian correspondence to
congress:
''I transmit herewith the additional
correspondence between this government
and the government of Chill, consisting
of the note of Montt, Chilian minister at
the capitol, to Blaine dated January 8,
the reply of Blaine hereto, of date Jan
uary 27, and the dispatch from Egan,
our minister at Santiago. transmitting
the response of Perriera, Chilian min
lister of foreign affairs, to the note of
Blaine of January p, which was received
by me the Goth instant. The note of
Montt to Blaine, though dated January
%, was not delivered to the state de-
partment until after II o'clock, meri-
dian, of the 25th, and was not trans
lated, and its receipt notified to me, un-
til late in the afternoon of that day.
The response of Mr.. Perrierra to our
note of the 21st withdraws, with accept,
able expressions of regret, the offensive
note of Malta of the 11th ultimo. and
also the request for the recall of Egan.
The threatment. of the incident of the
assault upon the sailors of the Balti-
more, is so conciliatory and friendly that
am of the opinion there is good pros
pect that the difference growing out of
that serious affair can now be adjusted
upon terms satisfactory to this govern
ment by the usual methods, and with
out special powers from congress. This
turn in affairs is very gratifying to me,
as am sure it will be to congress and
to our people in general. The support
of the executive to enforce the just
rights of the nation in this matter has
given an instructive and useful inustras-
ton of the unity and patriotism of our
people. Should it be necessary, I will
again communicate with congress upon
the subject

Another ENGLISH Lie.

LONDON, Jan. 2s-Several English
papers today print an alleged dispatch
from Washington to the Dalzeil Agency,
in which it is asserted that President
Harrison yesterday informed the senate
committee OH foreign relations that the
answer of Chill to the ultimatum sent
her the 21st inst, was received before
his message was sent to congress, but
that he was not aware of it's contents,
owing to the fact that it was not trans
lated into English until after the mes
sage had been delivered to congress.
Basing its comments upon this assertion
the st. James Gazette this afternoon
publishes an article in which it says:
eff the story is true, President Harrison
has disgraced and made himself ridicu-

minister Montt Blamed.

New York, Jan. 2s.-The Herald's s
Santiago special says the administration
is not feeling comfortable over the sit
uation of the controversy between the
United States and Chill. Pedro Montt
is blamed in measure for misleading the
government here as to the state of
affairs. Well-known prominent men
advised the government to go Glow in
this trouble, but their advice was not
needed. The course pursued seems to
have been aetuated by fear of the radi-
calls, among whom Malta is the central
figure. 1t is rather ludicrous to note
the change in the tone of the remarks on
Egan in Santiago aud Valparaiso news
papers. The PorUenir, which hitherto
has been heaping abuse on him, is now
full of the most amieable comments on
the American minister. With other
papers it is the same thing.

The Government in a Position to En-
force Its Demands.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 28.-It was
openly admitted at the navy depart
ment today. now that there is 40 longer
any reason for concealment, that the
government was fully prepared to en-
force its demands against Chill in case
they had not been secured by the more
pacific methods of negotiations through
diplomatic channels. The entire avail
able naval force had been concentrated
SO as to be able to make almost con-
certed attack on the Chilian ports. The
Pacific squadron, consisting of the San
Francisco, Charleston, Baltimore,
Boston and Yorktown, would have been
speedily reinforced by the South Allan
tic squadron> now at AIontevidio, con-
sisting.of the Chicago, Atlanta, Benning-
ton and Essex, and the Philadelphia
and the Concord of the North Atlantic
squadron. The last two named vessels
are now on their way to Montevidio.
The Concord arrived at Bahia, Brazil,
today, and the Philadelphia is beyond
that port, ON her way to Montevidio.
If she touches at Bahia, it is probable
she and the Concord viii be ordered
back to the West Indies. The Mianto-.
nomah, Newark and Vesuvius were held
in reserve for possible service.
At the same time great stores of coal.
ammunition and provisions had been
forwarded to both the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts, so that the feet should be
amply supplied in case foreign porte
should be closed to them. Arrange
ments were made for the immediate use
of a number of transports and auxiliary
cruisers, and the steamship Ohio was to
be fitted out at Boston as a repair ship.
-Four steamships were chartered from
the Earl Steamship company, ladened
with coal, and sent to Montevidio. 1t is
believed that one of them has already
reached Montevidio and the others will
arrive there in short time. These
vessels were to be used as colliers. and
would ply between the naval feet and
home ports. The Penito was chartered
