Chill Prepared to Apologize.
The appearance OF Minister Pedro Montt
upon the floor of the house of representa-
tives at noon today gave unmistakable owl
dence that Chill had come off her high horse
and was disposed to assume a more courte-
Gus and apolegetic attitude. The minister's
appearance CAM soon after unofficial ad-
vices had been received that the CHILEAN
authorities had called Minister Montt to
make ample apology for the outrage OH the
crew of the United States ship Baltimore
and 1t appeared to confirm these unofficial
advices whether ne was acting on orders or
not. Senior Montt was in the most courteous
ami conclliatorv mood. He was plotted
about and introduced by Governor McCreery
of Kentucky who is a member of the house
on foreign relations, and the only
anT,nhn n Tho h0nnn MI = tho ,.nnotf
dinner given by the CHILEAN minister.
He made a most favorable impression by
his easy manners and his constant emphatic
assurances that u peaceful settlement of the
CHILEAN trouble would certainly ensue. With
all the of a Spaniard he shook his
head at the possibilities of war and shrugged
his shoulders over the likeness of some of the
points of contention and brought his hands
together to emphasize his belief that Chill
would do everything that was fair and
honorable.
Iowa's WarliSe Sentiments.
In the house today Colonel Henderson of
Dubuque, Ia, presented a letter written by
j. b. Flanders of that city, urging Repre-
sentative Henderson to press, at the first
opportunity, and urge the adoption of meas
ures to etfectually suppress the outrages
upon American seamen In Chill. In his letter
Flanders says: w aroin no way responsible
for the condition of affairs that seems to pre-
vent the local government from putting a
SLOD 10 UulS, UuU IL IS not dt Ill UNLIKELY inc
Chilians consider, at least many Of them be-
lieve, we arc unable to afford to our citizens
through the government the protection they
have a right to expect, and If this people
have that idea so will others and a failure to
maintain onr rights In this instance will
make it all the more difficult to estab lish
them elsewhere. We should so act In this
question that the fact will spread abroad
that we are not only able, but ready and will
ing at all tunes and at every hazard to pro-
tect the life and interests of our own people,
whether on seu or land
Miscellaneous.
In the senate today Senator Allison intro
duced bills for the increase of the pension of
George w. Blake and granting an honorable
discharge to James b. Milford, both of Iowa.
The citizens of Iowa and South Dakota
have broken loose again for the anti option
bill. Senators from those states today pre-
sented large numbers OF petitions from their
citizens asking the adoption of the bill to
prohibit speculation in farm products.
Assistant Secretary Chandler today In the
homestead entry case of the Manitoba
Mortgage and Investment company against
Karl Moller, from Yankton, S. D., modified
the decision appealed from, which held
tho entry for cancellation. The assistant
secretary directs that the bearing asked for

determine whether the entry was the result
of collision and bad faith. Moller's entry in
the meantime remains suspended. p. S. II.
