DEATH oF sPuRGEoN.


Unconscious at the Last the Great
Preacher nles at Mentone.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-Rev. Charles II.
Spurgeon died at Mentone at 11:05 Sun
day night Mr.. Spurgeou's end was
painless. He remained unconscious to
the last. His wife, DIR. Fitzhcnry and
Miss Thornc were present when he
died. Mr.. SpurGeon's body will be
taken to England for burial. Mrs
Spurgeon is bearing her afIliction
bravely.
Mr.. Spurgeon took little milk dur
ing Saturday night, but early Sunday
morning it was evident that there was
no hope. Once or twice he just recog.
nizcd his wife. After 10 a. m. he took
no food, and gradually sank. His
friends had been confident that he
would recover, because his last attack
was milder than the previous one, but
the govt reached his head, and conges.
tion of the kidneys returned. Between
his attacks of suffering on Saturday he
was able to speak, and expressed him
self as anxious to send message to his
congregation. He thought constantly
of his wife.
At all the services held Saturday in
the Metropolitan Tabernacle, of which
Mr.. Spurgeon was pastor, the audito'
rum was packed Rev. Mr. Piersor
and others offered earnest prayers
at the services and read to the congre
cations telegraphic bulletins from Men

SALUTE THE FLAG.
The Cabinet Instruots Mgan TO Say
to Pereria
That His Assurances Are satisfactory 70
Uncle Sam, and Chill win BE TRUSTED
To Make Reparation-saluteto 20 Our
Flag win Close the Matter.

WAsHINaroN, Jan. 30 AT q eabi-
net meeting which was uncommonly
short, the Chilian matter was dis
cussed, 1t was decided that Minister
Egan sheuld be instructed to say to
Senior Pereira, Cbilian minister Of
foreign affairs that his reply to
the note of Secretary Blaine of
the 21st indicated desire on the part
of the Chilian government to satisfy the
United States of its feeling OF regret
over the assault upon the sailors of the
Baltimore in Valparaiso. The replies
as to the Malta note Of December IL
and the request for the recall Of
Minister Egan, the latter will be
directed to say, are entirely satisfac-
tory. Such being the case, the United
States will leave the matter of repara'
ton to the sufferers by the assault to
Chill to initiate, according to her sense
of Justice and right. And with salute
of the u. S. flag, the incident will be
considered closed by this government,
Until Chilli makes some offer OF ropara-
ton, of course there will be nothing to
arbitrate, as no points OF difference ex-
ist The offer may be so satisfactory
that arbitration on that score will not
be necessary.
At the cabinet meeting, the contents
of dispatch from Minister EgAn, re-
ceived Thursday, were made known.
1t is said that Mr.. Egan confirmed tho
story reported from Santiago that mem
bers of the Chilian government had
stated that Senor Montt, the Chilian
minister at Washington, had misled his
government by the advices he had dis
patched them, which had the effect ol
seriously compromising the govern
ment in their dealing with the contro-
versy.
A report was current Friday night
that Senior Montt had intimated his in
! tention of leaving Washington, but il
could not be confirmed
Inquiries at the residences of Secre
tary Blaine and Senior Montt were me'
with the statement that there was moth
ing.to say. 1t is believed that, il the Chill
ian minister has not already given no
tice Of this intention, no soon will dc
so. In diplomatic circles the opinion
is held that. after the receipt o.
such letter as that addressed
by the secretary of state 10 thc
senior, the latter could hardly remair
persona grata, and being aware of tina
fact, he ought to sever relations with
the country. 1t would not be necessar.
for Senior Mortt to wait for letter o
recall from his government. Probably
the government of Chilli might not wan
to proceed to that extent; he coulc
quietly take his departure. In SOM
we'll informed orioles this action by th'
Chilian representative is looked for il
the near future.

China Needs D,Uetpl,niur, Too.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, Wednesday offered a
resolution directing Secretary of State
Blaine to send to the U. S. senate copies
of all correspondence held with China
in regard to the refusal OF the govern
ment to accept ex-senator Henry w.
Blair, as u. S. minister to China. In
one of his speeches on the subject, Sem
ator Morgan argued that diplomatic
intercourse should be broken off with
China unless Senator Blair were ac-
cepted as minister, and that refusal
based upon objections raised to his re-
marks in the senate upon the Chinese
question, Senator Morgan holding that
such remarks made in the senate should
not, under the constitution, be ground
for such objection.

SPRINGFGELD, Ill, Feb. 1.-Advance
sheets of the Illinois crop report of the
state board of agriculture show that
the farmers of the state have been pros
porous during the last year. Figures
on the corn and wheat crop have al
ready been published, showingan aggre-
gate profit on corn of S32 10S 10, against
S1S, 800 $40 for the preceding year. The
report shows that the area devoted to
rye was 17l,9l4 acres 5 per cent less
than in 1890. and that on account of the
drought during the fall, unless there
is a big improvement between this
time and harvest. there will not be oyer
three-fourths of an average yield per

average of Ill bushels per acre. mnk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S 1.-THE Chilian
trouble is at an end" said Mr.. Blount,
the chairman of tho house committee
on foreign affairs, shortly before
o'clock Wednesday afternoon to an AS
sociated Press correspondent "The
bottom has dropped out Of the whole
thing -" Mr. Blaine is elated over
the termination of the trouble in so

to make 1t known
The dispatch containing the reply
of Senior Pcreira the Chilian minister
for foreign affairs is very long, and
it's translation was not completed uu-
til Wednesday. 1t is said to be a frank
and splendidly written document,
breathing throughout spirit OF friend
ship and good willto the United States.
1t is said to be clear and unequivocal.
Nothing whatever is left of the Malta
note, which is not only withdrawn, but
apologized for. The most sincere
regret is expressed for the Balti-
more incident, and the offer to refer
it to the supreme court is said to be more
than a proposition for settlement
it is made as an illustration OF tho
friendly feeling of the Chilians towards
the United States by showing their
Willingness to leave tho matter TO our
courts for settlement The expressions
of cordiality toward this country are
profuse. IT is said that the whole tone
of the document is apparently 80 sin.
cere, friendly and manly, and leaves the
matter in such shape that IL is
hardly possible to fail to bring tho
two countries closer together and result
in an amicable adjustment of the whole
difficulty. The dispatch is especially
clear and vigorous in repelling tho
charge of hostility on tho part OF the
Chilians to tho American flag and the
| American uniform. In effect IL says:
"Chili hates the American uniform?
Too we'll does she remem Dor that haG
and that uniform in her ports and har-
bors aiding her in her struggle for in
dependence. (Referring to Chili's
struggle years ago to achieve indie
pendence.)
The prospect of war, it is thought, is
now over, and that while considerab bic
remains to be done before the contro-
versy in it's entirety will be closed and
simply matter of history, yet the
affair is in such a shape as to bring the
two nations closer together and make
further proceedings a matter Of COM
paratively easily adjustments.
In order to relieve the public mind as
to the exact status of the Chilian con-
troversy, Chairman Blount, OF the for
eign affairs committee OF the House.
this afternoon consented 10 give all
his knowledge of the latest phase Of
the situation.

THE BRITISH FLAG.
Contrary to United States Law, Flauntec
in an American Harbor.

CONTRARY TO u united SthteA LAW, Flnunted
in an American HRrbor.
BRIDGEPORT, Ct, Feb. 1--Shortly after
10 o'clock Sunday afternoon the big
three-master schooner Glendon, of St
John, N. b., sailed into this harbor
with the British Jack floating from the
mizzen, in direct violation of the u. s.
law, which provides that foreign en-
sign must always be accompanied by
the stars and stripes. The fore and
main masts were destitute of bunting.
AS the vessel sailed up the harbor,
the British flag was perceived by
people on the docks, as the
vessel passed the threo bridges
the abutments were black with excited
men, who greeted the British flag with
hisses mingled with cries of Haul it
down." and Shoot it." Capt Trow-
bridge, of the schooner, drew a pistol
and swore he would shoot the first man
who laid hands on the halyards. When
the vessel finally reached her berth at
Swords wharf, which is just in the
rear of the Fourth regiment armory,
there were over one thousand men on
the wharf. They were joined by sew
enty-fve unarmed militiamen from
the armory, who attempted to tear
down the flag. They were driven off
at the revolver's muzzle by the crew.
An American flag was then hoisted on
an adjoining schooner, amid great
cheering. The British flag still floats,
but will be forcibly removed.
