MINISTER EaAN's LEAVE.
II Has Been Granted, but He Stin Remains
In Chile.


Mr.. Patrick Esan, minister to Chile, Is un-
doubtedly most conscientious Official, OF else
there is something going on in that country that
has escaped the notice Of the newspapers. Soon
after the amicable settlement Of the contro-
versy between the United States and Chile
growing out of the Baltimore affair
Mr.. Egan applied for and was
granted leave Of absence TO visit the
United States. The assumption was natural
that he proposed to avail himself of this privi-
lege, but Us a matter of fact he has not yet done
SO, and the sole explanation Of his conduct Is
that something has occurred within the past
two months that requires his presence al Santi-
ago. What this is cannot be learned at the
State Department. II is said there that Mr..
Egans movements are undoubtedly governed
by the interests of the United States, and that
he has not left his post for the
simple reason that he deems it best
to remain there. Negotiations are in
progress for settlement of the claims Of the
sailors Of the Baltimore on the basis of the
diplomatic agreement between the two countries
but such matters are always slow and deliberate
and 1t may be a year vet before the matter is
finally disposed of. This business would not
necessarily require the personal attention Of
Minister Egan and it is supposed that he will
soon take advantage Of his leave Of absence.

WILL BE AN IRON STRIKE.
Nearly Sixty Mills in Western Pennsyl-
Nania VIII BE Affected-

wanna W III he auectSU-
PITrsBUEa. Pa, June 27.-It is now generally
believed there will be an iron strike here. In
the event Of such an occurrence, if all the con-
Germs which have up to this time refused to
sign the scale of the Amalgamated Association
remain firm, nearly sixty mills in this section
will be involved and from 5000 TO 10000
men. about one-half of whom are members Of
the Amalgamated Association.
The contest between the iron and steel mas
tiers and Amalgamated Association has now
narrowed down to manufacturers of muck
bar and finished iron and steel in all shapes.
The latter includes a few pipe and tube
mills The scale of manufacturers Of tin
plate, iron and steel sheet and wire rods
has been all but signed. Among this
class there are quite a number of mills. There
still exists slight differences between the
Amalgamated Association and the manu-
facturers. but of such trivial nature that Il Is
thought highly probable that either one side or
the other will give in before Julyl
Notwithstanding the statement Of the Carne-
gle Steel Company that there would be no more
conferences of their firm with the Amalgamated
Association il is the general opinion that there
will vet be q settlement.
MILWAUKEE, june 27.-It il announced on
the authority Of one of the representatives Of
the Illinois Steel Company that II viii, with
few minor changes, sign the scale presented by
the Amalgamated Association of Iron Workers
for the company's rolling mills. The scale 10
about the same as the last one. and the few
proposed changes are acceptable to the men-

THE RATE OF TAXATION.
More Citizens Approve the Amendment
Proposed by Senator Mcmillan.

1Aorc SiIIchs approve tue Ahenument
Proposed by Senator Mcmillan.
A STAR reporter today heard expressions of
opinion from several citizens in regard to the
Senator Mcmillan amendment giving the Com
missioners authority to reduce the rate of as
sessment, which were generally favorable to the
proposition.
Mr.. Mahlon Ashford, president Of the Title
Company, had not seen the proposed law,
land, he remarked, until saw in Saturdays
STAR what Mr.. Thomas had to say was under
the impression that the Commissioners of the
District had the power to reduce the rate of
taxation. But if they haven't that power then
think it is time they had. / see no reason
why the rate should be maintained at a figure
beyond that which is necessary for the
expenses of the District. II seems only right
that the Commissioners should at all times
have authority to reduce the rate OF taxation
The present rate is unquestionably higher than
| it should be. and its reduction should be
authorized. The sooner the better"
Mr.. ]. d. Coughlan, the secretary of the
| Columbia Title Insurance Company, said:
'Senator McMillan's amendment is q good one
and one which, under the present state of
affairs, is badly needed. 1t appears that
| under the old rate and valuation money
has been accumulating in the treasury, and If
| the present rate should be continued after this
| new assessment the effect would be that the
present generation would put up money for
the coming one to spend. Therefore
| l really see no reason why more money should
| be collected than is necessary. 1 have not
closely examined the recent assessment, SO can
not well pass upon its merits.
| Mr.. Isadore Saks of Saks q 90. had not fully
examined into the matter, "but," said he, Il
of course, believe in raising just SO much money
| as is needed from year to year. presume that
Senator McMillan's amendment viii not relieve
| the general government of its duty of paying
| its half of the Districts expenses. II it does,
/ am opposed to it. I am pretty certain that
the present rate is too high, even now, and If it
is kept up there will be a great deal
more money raised than there is needed So
cannot see what use there would be in MAIN
tanning the old rate. II the proposed bill will
do away with such thing then I am in favor
of it, and sincerely hope that it will be passed
| at once"

Since il became certain that the injury 20 Mr..

heedlessness the public excitement on the sub
iect has calmed down considerably. The THROW

one way Of expressing the antipathy of the
lowest class 20 wealth in any form. and IL n be-
heved that Mr.. Gladstone was pelted lust as any
other gentleman might have been pelted he
was passing at the time.
Among the kilograms received az Hawarden
regarding Mr.. Glsdstone's condition were
anxious and sympathetic inquiries from Mr..
Balfour and other conservative leaders. Mr.
6ladstones Midlothian constituents also showed
their anxiety for the welfare of their champion.

upon the assault made upon Mr.. Gladstone st

guage is harmless when il Is compared
with the tory methods OF venting their hatred
unsavory letters reached Mr.. Gladstone
and his vie by every post. Sometimes
the writers sent post cards 90 Mrs
Gladstone. on which. expressed in
the foulest language. were revolving wishes for
her destruction. Some depraved writers OF
these cards, said they hoped that she and her
daughters might be subjected in their last
trcmity 20 outrage similar to that to which
Bulgarian women we're subjected.
MIR. Balfour attempted 10 make an outdoor
speech at Sheffield today. but was howled down.
Addressing the reporters. he said he deeply de-
plored the assault upon Mr.. Gladstone and Was
grateful to know that the injuries were not seri-
Gus and that the ex-prcmier would soon become
completely restored to health.

Mr.. Compton has now reached the city and a
