CHILI's DIPLOMACY.

The shrewd diplomacy of Gillian
pondence of that government with the
Government of the United States in the
controversy growing out of tho Balti-
more affair stands out holder than over
in the document replying to the ultima
tum of President Harrison.
Chilli. having added gross insult to
malicious injury. denies her guilt in the
face OF the overwhelming evidence
against her until show Of enforcing
the demands and maintaining the dig
nifty. and honor of this country is made.
Then comes confession of insults with
a promise OF Apology, with an indica,
ton that she will abide by the decision
Of a neutral power as to whether injury
was inflicted upon the Government of
the United States by the murder Of the
Baltimore sailors.
Chilli postponed action by this coun-
try by prolonging an investigation for
three months that might have resulted
more satisfactorily in three days. No
ment of the unfortunate affair has ever
been manifested and she has made dill
gent use of the time and opportunity
resulting from her remarkable diplo-
macy in war pre- paration.
The last move like the others owl
IDENTIFY has for it's object the further
postponment of final settlement, and
shows no sincere desire to make suit
able reparation for the outrages COM
United.
In the opini IN of many versed in
international law tho matter at issue
never was subject for arbitration, and
even If it had been, arbitration is now
entirely OUT Of The question.
There can be no question as to the
legality and justice of the demands of
this country, and there is really moth
ing to arbitrate. Chilli cannot hope for
anything but an unconditional compli-
ance with the demands of the United
States, or war.
The most natural inference from the
present status Of the affair Is that Chilli
is averse to the former and expects the
latter, hor efforts being to defer hos
tilities as long as possible, that she
may secure tie war vessels now being
constructed for her service.
The information is conveyed in our
dispatches this morning that there are
differences in the Cabinet as to whether
this ma ter can be submitted to arbitra-
ton without the sacrifice of the honor
and dignity OF this Government, but
there is scarcely doubt as to President
Harrison's position.
The proposal of Chilli to abide by the
decision OF the United States Supreme
Court, in imitation OF a similar offer OF
Great Britain in the Boring Sea contro-
versy, smaoks strongly OF too mich
British officiousness in the pending con-
troversy.

A HUNDRED YEARS In OFFICE.
Remarkable Record OF the AIlIn
Family OF Mercer Co. Nv.

| Remarkable Record OF the AllIn
! Family OF Mercer Co, Ky.
/ Special Correspondence of the Globe
Democrat.
HARRODsBURGH KY, July 2S.-For
over hundred years the offices OF
circuit and county clerk of this Mer-
cer) county Fave been in the hands of
the Allin family, a record which is
probably without parallel. The first
court held in the county opened at
Harrodsburgh the first day of August,
1856, and on that day Thomas Allin
was appointed circuit and county
clerk. He held the office of circuit
clerk until 1923, when he re-.
signed, but continued to act as
county clerk until February Z,
1881, when he resigned that office
also, having served as circuit clerk
clerk forty-five years. Upon his re-
rignation as circuit clerk in 1923 his
son, Phil T. Allin, was appointed to
the position and held it until his
death in 1919, twenty-six years Ben
G. A lin then received the appoint
ment, and was circuit clerk until
1862, when, on account of his strong
southern sympathy, a Unionist was
elected-the office having been pre-.
viously made an elective one. The
Allins were out of this Office until
1885, when Bush w. AIlin, a son of
Ben G.. Allin, was elected for torn
Of six years, and he has recently re.
ceived the democratic nomination for
another term.
When Thos. Ali n s. res gned the
county clerkship ~ 1881, his son,
Thos. Allin, Jr., received the appoint
ment, and held 1t (by election after
1850 until 1852 In that year, because
he favored the South, he was denied
the right to become q candidate, and
Union sympathiZer was elected. In
1866 Ben 6. Allin, the former Circuit
Clerk, was elected County Clerk, and
he still holds the office, being proba-
bly, the Oldest court clerk, in point of
service as well as in age, in the United
States. He was born in 1908, and is
therefore 81 years old. He has served
as assistant, deputy or clerk of one of
the courts since childhood. The fol-
lowing table will make this remarka.

Contributory Negligence.

From the New York Tribune.
Cases of contributory negligence in
accidents are among the most inter-
esting which come before the courts,
and several in which the circum-
stances were somewhat peculiar have
been recently passed upon. 1t has
been held in Indiana that it is not
necessarily negligence to allow q r.
yesr-old girl to drive team of two
horses up steep grade and across a
railroad track. The girl was injured
in an accident at the crossing while
the team was in her charge. 1t ap-
peared, however, that the girl had
been travelling for some time with her
father, selling organs, and was &C.
| custOmed to driving horses, so that
there was no apparent danger in leav-
| ing the horses under her care. AL

ages, as the boy failed to stop the car
as quickly as competent driver
| could have done. Pedestrians have
often failed To- recover for injuries re-
| ceived an the street because they
they themselves have been negligent.
A man has just been prevented
from recovering a verdict because the
accident happened by his falling
down hole in an alleyway which
was just off the route he should have
taken. He had been at some con.
vivisl meeting, and tried to find his
hotel, but wandered into an out-of.
the-way place, where he sustained
! injuries. When street railway
I company in this city allowed a rail to
remain at dangerous elevation
above the surface of the street 1t was
held responsible, in q decision recent
ly given by the Court of Appeals, fol
injuries to foot passenger who
stumbled on the crossing and fell. A
foot traveller is supposed to use
reasonable care about crossing 9

Louisiana have just held that. &

A Daily Flyer to the Coast.

| From the New York Times.
The popular desire for rapid transit
! has made the running of fast trains a
matter OF necessity as well as of pride
| by the railroads that make a feature
OF their quick passenger service. The
Reading railroad, which is INDUCING
in various innovations under its pres
ent energetic management. has estab-
lished seventy. minute flyer" from
Philadelphia to Atlantic City. For
the distance run this train is said to
be one of the fastest regularly sched-
uled passenger trains in the world. 1t
leaves Philadelphia at $3.50 p. m.
daily. The distance from Chestnut
street wharf to the Camden terminus
of the railroad Is about 8 mile and q
half, and the ferryboat trip and
transfer of the passengers from the
boat to the cars occupies ten minutes.
This leaves sixty minutes for . rail-
road run Of fifty.five and one.half
miles.
The run is regularly made daily on
schedule time. When the fast SER
vice was es tablished it was not with
any purpose of breaking a record.
but the operating officers of the road
were confident OF their ability to run
train safely and promptly within
the specified time or less If required.
At first it was determined to limit
the train to six cars in order to in
sure speed, but the flyer" became
so popular that for the last fortnight
it has been carrying eight cars, in
Guiding one or more heavy Pullmans
each day. There has been no trip on
which schedule was not made. The
rate of fifty.five and one half miles
an hour is exceeded every day on the
Reading Railroad, and probably on
many other roads, but it is said that
on no other railroad is there train
run from one end to the other of it's
route at 80 great an average speed.

An English Canon IN the CatskiIIs

An English Canon In the Catskills
Baltimore Sun.
The quaintest and most interesting
specimen of man that has frightened
the Hotel Kssterskill for some time
is Canon Bright, OF Christ's Church,
Oxford, and professor for the last
twenty-five years of ecclesiastical his
tory at the University of Oxford, and
the author of an authoritative work on
the ancient collects.
His long, clOse-fitting clerical garb,
bushy gray hair, dome-like brow and
big gulleless gray eyes, close cut gray
bea- d, soft SLOUGH hat, with a long
string dangling at its back, made the
divine striking and unforgetsble
figure. He's an ideal eld-time
bachelor, as quaint as his old home in
Oxford, which is venerable piece of
architecture built in Queen Anne's
reign.
The Canon is full of genuine ad.
mirstion for Washington Irving,
whom he spt axis of as "The Apostle
OF Reconciliation between England
and America" He speaks of these
old Catskills with q "gush of love"
that is almost rebuke TO the unap-
preciative American. The quaint old
divine looks lovingly on the bewildel-
ing outlines of the majestic hills, and
murmurs to himself, This is Rip
Van Wrinkles land, OF which the
Apostle of Brotherhood, Washington
Irving, wrote" 1t was rather q
damper on the present great Ameri.
can novelist when, in response TO my
query what Americans were read. he
answered absently. "Oh, / think
Whittler-yes, think Whittier, and
mana man named Wowells, isn't
il? How do you pronounce that mans
name?"
"Howelis
Yes, L think they read howells u
But the one American writer to the
good Canon is Washington Irving
He relegates Kipling to the shelf and
studies Thackeray, The Canon is moi
so full of books, however, that ne

and perhaps it will delight the
hearts of mothers to know the Canon

BETRAYED HIS CONFIDENCE.
Young Man Appropriates His Trust.
ing Employers Money TO
His Own Use

HIS own use.
In answer to a telephone message,
yesterday about O'Clock, the mount
ed police went to the office of DIR.
Plutsrco Ornelas, the we'll know Il
Mexican consul. For some time pas t
there has been working for the consul
a young Spsniard of remarkable in
teligence and of fine address. He was
Ia the Office in the capacity of chief
clerk, and handled all of the money
of said office. DIR. Ornelas had the
utmost confidence in him and never
thought of looking over his accounts.
The temptation was too strong, and,
as so many others in the same posi-
ton OF trust have done before, he be-
trayed the confidence of his trusting
employer and embezzled from him.
The doctor yesterday happened to
ask him for the bank book
and received the reply that he had
lost it, DR.. Ornelss made the re.
mark that he thought that was
strange, and Immediately sent to the
bank for a statement. He looked it
over and was about to hand 1t over to
the clerk and was on the verge of say
ing that il was all right, when a GER
tain item struck him as being wrong.
The item in question showed
deposit of Sl32, when the Doctor
knew that he had sent Sl62. He sent
to the bank to see if the bank had
made the mistake, but they had not.
Then, and only then, he knew that he
had been robbed. He telephoned for
the police, lin the mean time the
young man had left the Office and
told them his ubles. They were
unable to locate him up to last night,
when the kind hearted doctor relent-
ed, and decided not to prosecute him.
And he will return to his native land
where the flowers grow and mescal
is drank in abundance.
The young mans name is Guerrero.

GABLES TO ASIA.

Preparations are going on to run a cable
across the Pacific ocean from the coast of
California to the Hawaiian Islands and
thence to China. Puck's famous girdle
has not yet enoiroled the entire earth. It
was hoped that the electric belt around
the globe would have been complete before
the four huRdredth anniversary of the dis
covery of America. United States vessels
are now taking soundings of the oceans
bottom between our coast and Asia and
bills have been introduced in congress Civ
ing companies the power to construct the
lines. The North Atlantic is spanned bv
no less than eleven cables, all laid since
1879, though they are not all working at
the present time; five companies are en-
gagged in forwarding kilograms between
North America and Europe and the total
length of the cables owned by them,
including coast connections, is over
$4,000 nautical miles. The entire sub
marine telegraph system of the
globe consists of 12OO7O nautical miles
of cable. Government administrations own
1884 miles, while 1O7, $40 are the property
VI PAAhoO9 NOnl JdlllcSs 1ub bObdl COSG OF
these cables is in the vicinity of $500, ,OOO.-
600. The largest owner lof submarine
cables is the Eastern Telegraph company
whose system occupies the seas from Eng
land to India, and comprises q $3.50 miles
of cable. The eastern extension, which ex-
ploits into the far east, has 1888 miles
more. Early in the year 1891 the system of
West African cables, which started from
Cadiz only six years ago, was completed
to Cape Town, so that the dark continent
is now completely encircled by submarine
telegraph, touching at numerous points
along the coast. More than 1900 miles of
cables have be required to do this, and sew
eral companies, with more or less aid from
the British, French, Spanish, and Portu-
guese governments have participated in
carrying out the work. The completion of
cables from California to Asia will doubt
less be followed by lines from the coast of
Washington to Japan, and it will greatly
enhance the value of our commercial in
terests.

FOR CHARITY,S SAKE.

1t has been suggested to The TRIBUNE
that the usual charge of five cents be made
the first day the new cars begin to run,
instead of allowing free ride all day as
has been proposed and that the amount
secured therefrom be turned over to the
Ladies' Relief society of this city, an Or
ganization which has done and is still doing
great deal Of good, in an humble way in
olympia. Thus the Inauguration of the
electric railway system can be made a
source of profit to worthy object and
certainly the people who will derive
pleasure from the rides will not object, to
have their small pittances disposed of in
that manner The society is in need Of
funds, and its charitable work is of that
character which appeals to the pockets as
well as the hearts of our fellow citizens.
