LINCOLN. Nebr.. Nov 21.-A compliment
tary banquet was rendered tonight to Pat
rick Egan, Minister to Chile. who has been
visiting for few days In this city as the
guest of ex-President Fitzgerald of the Irish
National League of America. Three hun
dred guests were present Mr.. Egan, in re-
spending to a toast. spoke at some length
about his experiences in Chile, relating
numerous incidents in which he was con-
cerned. He had erdeavored at all times, he
said, TO protect the rights and property Of
American citizens, and he spoke of one case
occurring in the city of Conception, where
an American is half owner of the electric
light plant. The Intendente of the city was
giving dinner one night, when the lights
suddenly went out, as electric lights will
oc casionally do. The Intendente immedi-
ateiy ordered that every body connected
with the electric light company should be
put in irons, and an American citizen was
dragged out Of bed al 10:30 o'clock at night
and kept in prison until after midnight,
when the Intendente had him released.
Egan exacted.for this man from the Bslma-
eeda Government letter of apology and a
money compensation of $1,000
Speaking of the Baltimore trouble, Egan
said that ten days after the affair." no ex-
PLANTATION having been offered, he was in
structed by telegraph TO address note to
the Chilean Government He did so, in the
precise words of his instructions. and I'M
mediately he was mercilessly assailed by a
section of the American press. The charge
was then made that the language was yul-
gar, violent and undiplomatic, and showed
personal desire OH his part to plunge the
two countries into war. "The fact is.
said Egan, 1.-THE telegram of instruction,
whose exact wording | followed. was writ
ten by no less person than the President
OF the United States. The Chileans were
led to believe by this section of our Ameri-
can press that the people Of this country
had unanimously condemned the course
pursued, aud owing 10 this belief they al
lowed the controversy to go as far as il did. ="
Egan, in conclusion. asserted that the re-
laiions between Chile and the United
States to-day were more cordial than they
had been at any time during the last half

AGAINST SUNDAY CLOSING.
Mayor Washburne of Chicago Wants
the Fair Kept Open.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Mayor Washburne
aud the City Coun Gil tonight tsok active
steps in favor Of opening the Worlds Fair
On Sunday. The Mayor sent a message to the
Council declaring that the people TO be most
benefited by the fair are those who are un-
able to enj,y the luxury of travel and these
who literally earn their bread by the sweat
OF their brows. Sunday closing would de-
prive these people Of their chief oppor-
tunity TO see the fair. Furthermore.
Chicago must next year extend her hospi-
tality to thousands Of foreigners. and
on this account alone it would be admissible
to open the fair on Sundays. The Mayor
stated that the great majority Of the people
were 10 favcr OF an open Sunday, and
asked the Council to prepare an official ad-
dress to Congress on the subject.
The suggestion was heartily indorsed and
a committee was appointed to draft the ad-
dress suggested.

HOPE IN KANSAS.
How 1t Is Possible to Elect Repub-
liCan Senator.

TOPEKA, Nov. 21.-The prospect of a
Democrat being in the Speakers chair of
the Kansas Legislature is not impro bable.
There will be but three Democrats in that
body and they will hold the balance of
power It is semi-offieially announced that
the Democratic candidate will open head
quarters in day or two and make the race
for the speakership. His name is joseph
Reenthal, and he is banker of Santa Fe
Haskell County. A dicker with the Republi-
can forces is reported. by the terms OF which
-}R2etnthal proposed TO ID them organize
the House. He thinks that the contest can
be made successfully. This would mean a
Republican successor 10 Senator Perkins
Reehthal opposed fusion.
The result of the vote on the proposition
TO call constitutional convention will
probably have to be determined by the Su-
preme Court. With four counties to hear
from, lis, 600 votes were cast for the con-
vention aud 114.000 against it. 1t is not
expected that the four counties will ma
terially change the maj0rites, which on the
face of the returns show that the proposition
has carried, but there are thousands who
neglected either 10 vote for or against it. a
strict Interpretation of the, constitution
means that people who neglected to vote
either for or against the convention prac-
tieally vote against il.

interest attaches to the forthcoming annual
report OF the Commissioner of Pensions.

amount required for pensions during the
next fiscal year will nearly reach the enor-
nous sum Of 5000. 000. 900. but the work of
compiling the figures has now been suffi-
GENTLY advanced to show that this estimate

NEW YORK. Nov. 21-Edmund Yates
cables from London to the Tribune: The
Queen has decided 10 accept the Dowager
Lady Crawford's offer to place the villa
Palmieri at her disposal IL she visits Flor
ence in the spring. This celebrated villa
was purchased by the late Lord Crawford
from the Grand Duke OF Tuscany. to whom
IL had been beQueathed by an Irish lady,
who resided there many years. The villa,
which stands in lovely grounds on the Fie-
sole road, was reconstructed and greatly
improved by Lord Crawford, and the
Queen was delighted with the place when
she passed month there during the spring
of 1888. The Queen will arrive in Florence
shortly before Easter. The Queen has
passed every afternoon during the last ten
days Of her stay at Balmoral In paying a
series of farewell visits to the tenants of
the Balmoral, AbergeldIe and Birkhall
estates. and to the cottagers around the vii
lage of Grathie. The Queen also visited
the site Of the new church of Grathie,
toward the building of which she and Mr..
Farqubarson of Invercauld each SUBJ

church will probably be laid by the Queen
