been made, but this tlmo 1t docs not
come from the rebublic OF Chile. A
Democratic member OF Congress is tho
rerson who seeks to bring such n re-
quest officially to tho attention OF Presi-
dent Harrison, and it is no secret in
Democratic quarters that the political
adyisability Of introducing resolution
providing for au inquiry into Minister
Egan's conduct is being discussed, and
that such Il resolution may bo present
edat any time. Of course such al in
vcstigation is mado by the house com
mittcc on foreign affairs, and the Re
publicans who have spoken OH the SUBJ
icCt say that such an investigation will
10 cour!ed by Mr., Egan's friends as q
step which will lead to tho total vindi-
cation OF the United States representa-
i've to Chile.
In an interview tonight Mr.. Arnold,
Of Missouri, who introduced the resolu-
ton, said:
~ think on the surface OF our CORE
spondence with Chile that while there
may have been cause for war there was
really never any probability of hostili-
ties between this government and that
country. The apology OF tho latter
coming, rs it did, SO closely on the
heels OF the Presidents message, will
not say indicates duplicity on the part
OF our government but evinccs un-
due haste. That, however, is not ger
name to the spirit OF tho resolution.
International courtesy demands, espe-
CialIy III this instance, the withdrawal
oi any obnoxious minister, such as Mr..
Esan appears to be in the estimation of
the people Of Chile. Ny resolution is
not intended to be disrospectful to the
President. but is merely 10 call his at
tention to the public opinion OF this
country which is all that the proprie-
ties OF the occasion demand the recall
Of Minister Egan."
Mr.. Arnolds resolution was referred
to the committee on foreign affairs.
TIE DEBATE ON THE RULES.
Mr. Anderson, OF West Virginia and Ex-
spcnierS Reed Have /. Tilt-A Lively
bay.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 1.-The
principle that the presence OF major
lty OF members constitutes quorum
has had the sanction Of every court to
which it has been referred and T think
that it ought to have the sanction OF
this house" This was the belief OF Ex-
Speaker Reed to-day in defending him
sell against the somewhat spirited de-
nunciotlons by tho Democrats OF his
official actions in tho 5lst congress.
The rules arc still the subject OF discus
sIop in tho house and the DEGREES OF the
Democrats and tho frequent demands
Tor the previous question seem alike

close and securing the adoption
OF the code reported by tho Democratic
majority OF the committee on rules. In
deed, there is 4 general disinclination in
The rank and file OF both sides OF the
house 10 regard the rules rs Il party
question. Some OF tho most radical
features Of the code reported by the
democratic majority OF tho committee
on on rules lind carncst supporters on the
Republican side, and Hon. Bourke
Cochran. the wcll-known Tammauy
congressman, this evening surprised his
colleagues by eloQucntly approving tho
