court of inquiry at the navy yard into the CON-
plants relative to the food and accommoda-
tions supplied the marine guard was con-
tinued today. Thomas Burton, a private
in the guard, was on the stand the

nesses previously examined. Yesterday Private
George +. Hstton and Sergt Thomas G.
Hill testified. 1t is the intention to give all
who desire to testify an opportunity, SO that a
complete report may be presented.
In the course of his testimony Private Bur-
ton said that he was one OF those whose CON-
plants had resulted in the inquiry. He de-
cllned to answer question as 10
whom he had made the complaints, on
the ground that he was already under
charges and would be court-martialed and his
answer might prejudice his case. He objected
TO answering several other questions Of a
similar character. The witness said that
he was not naturalized American
citizen. He was an Englishman. He testified
that the charges brought against him were for
seditious conduct

QUAKER CITY VIEWS.
What Philadelphia Editors Say Of the Mes-
sage and Its Effect

sage and Its Effect
Following are extracts from editorials that
appeared in Philadelphia papers this morning:
The Ledger: There will be but little differ
ence of opinion among the people of the United
States with regard to the attitude of the admin
istration. Men separated ordinarily by politi-
cal opinions will be united today upon this
matter; they will be neither of one party nor
another; they will be Americans supporting
their country. their government and their
President, oil Of whom are worthy OF their sup
port"
The Times: SIN the face Of the direct issue Of
war as proclaimed by the President, that issue
becomes paramount and the miserable adyen-
turer who has disgraced diplomacy as our
minister to Chile will be overshadowed By the
supreme demands of patriotism; but whether
there shall be war or peace the people will have
their reckoning with Minister Egan and the
political power that clothed him with honors
ne could not appreciate, and with duties he
could not perform. Dark the war cloud is
today, We are yet hopeful of peace. The whole
civilized world is now averse to war. and it
seems incomprehensible that the most liberal
and enlightened nation OF the earth should be
plunged into war when there are half a dozen
great governments either of which could be ac-
ceptec as arbitrator without discredit to the
United States. IL war must come the people
will accept it and patriotically sustain the gov
ernment, but if peace with honor is possible
! that is what they want
The Inquirer: Under all the circumstances
we do not SEQ how the President could have
done otherwise than he has done. There has
been no attempt to involve Chic in a war
She has been urged aud reasoned with. but
she has placed a chip upon her shoulder and
there 1t remains. Whether she will remove it
OF her own accord, make the apology and
reparat,on and disayow the circular note Of
ex-Mlnlster Malta remains to be seem
No self-respecting government to quote
the President. can consent that persons in her
service, whether civil or military, shall be
beaten or killed in . foreign territory,
and the President proposes that it shall
be, but whether this is to be done by war
| or by severance of diplomatic relations is a
question for Congress to decide, that is, unless
Chile meanwhile shall see the error of her ways
| and Shall offer ample apology"
The North american: The ultimatum SUBJ
| mltted by the President is the withdrawal of
the offensive braggadocio note sent TO the
Chilean legations by Senior Malta and ample
apology, OF suspension of diplomatic relations.
his Is dignihed and conciliating. The mes
| sage is in most admirable temper from the first
line to last. There il not in it one word at
which Chile can take offense, and contrary to
the predictions of the prophets there is no talk
! OF war. If there is to be a war the President
does not assume it, and he in fact merely hands
| the papers, of which his message is a concise
resume, to Congress, and waits its considera-
| ton"

Homing Pigeons for Marine Service.

Homing f1geons for Marine Service.
1t is not unlikely that the steamship Ohio
will carry as part of its complement a flight of
homing pigeons for use as messengers Capt.
Sergeant will be advised upon his arrival in
Boston today that birds old and young from
Boston and Providence lofts are at his disposal.
and the captain is said to be too keen a fancier
and too quick to recognize an advantage to
let the opportunity for testing these pigeons
pass if the situation will permit him to accept
the offer.
Hon,ing pigeons are more largely carried for
messenger service by the merchant marine
than is generally known, and those using them
report them invaluable for saving time and
labor from those boarding other vessels, from
boats when away from the ship and from shore
1t is said they can be depended upon alike
whether the ship is in port or midocean; that
by changed surroundings, and the most extra
ordinary stories are told in proof of the won-
derful sight and memory which permit the
birds to go to land when far distant from it and
to return hours after with evidences Of it, the
vessel meantime keeping on its course
Those experienced in the use of pigeons for
sea service assert that il young but fully fedged
birds that have never been flown ont. if prop-
erly housed on the Ohio can in a months time
be used from fifty miles, about and in a week
more than hundred miles. That if when they
gain their first liberty they return and 60 into
the coop that il their home they can be de.
pended upon to do 80 always, and it will only
be necessary to teach them what is expected of
them as message bearers.
Capt Sergeant is one OF the most enthusiasts
OF poultry fanciers, and was SO highly esteemed
both abroad and here as q Judge that birds
that were to come over by the Ohio were al
ways purchased subject to his approval, and
the Ohio has probably brought over more
fancy poultry and pigeons for individual orders
than any other. either to this port or New York.

CONGRESS WILL SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT
Representative Herbert of Alabama, chair
man Of the naval affairs committee: THE
Presidents message seems to be q fair state
ment Of the case as understand it; though. of
course, the documents and evidence accom-
panying it ought to be carefully studied by the
House and Senate before conclusion is
reached. have no doubt that Congress will,
without regard to party, SUSTAIN the President
in the course he is taking. The intimation by
tbs Chilean government that Mr.. Egan is not
persona grata comes at very late day. Whether
lie was partisan of Balmaceda do not know.
but expect that the evidence accompanying the
message will give us a better means OF decid-
ing. But if he was it was the duty of tho
Chilean government, as soon as the present
government came into power, to intimate that
to the United States, and if that had been done
at the time President Harrison would
undoubtedly have Withdrawn him and
would nave sent representative more
ment. We were about the first government to
recognize the congressionalists after they got
into power, and 30 far as / know nothing was
beard officially at Washington about the desire
OF Chile for the withdrawal Of Mr.. Egan until
tho complications over the Baltimore affair
arose. Certainly We cannot permit a mob in
the city OF Valparaiso 10 take platter OF that
kind into its own hands with the:connivance Of
the local government and punish our sailors in
the cruel and brutal manner in which they did
for some supposed offense by the agents OF the
United States. am partisan democrat but
/ am ar American first, q democrat afterward.
/ have no doubt that Congress will take every
step necessary to vindicate the honor OF the
country and secure the safety OF our citizens
in the future. certainly hope that we will
have no war, and hopo the firm and united
| stand on the part of Congress aiding the execu-
tive will convince the people Of Chile that they
must do justice in this matter"
In answer to q question bearing on the atti-
tude OF the southern people in case Of . con-
| dict Mr.. Herbert said:
ut goes without saying among the people
who know tho spirit and temper Of the southern
people that il war does come they will sustain
