CHILEAN CORRESPONDENCE.
The President Not Ready TO Lay 1t Before
Congress.


The President Not Ready TO Lay 1t Before
Congress.
WASHINGTON Jan. 1.-The correspond
ence which the president promised to
send to congress relating to the attack
upon the Baltimore sailors at Valparaiso
will not be sent now. In fact there is
reason to believe some days will elapse
before the public may know officially
Just what passed between the depart
ment of state and Minister Egan on one
side, and the Chilean minister of foreign
affairs and Minister Montt on the other.
The unofficial announcement of
the practical completion of judicial
proceedings in Valparaiso and the in
tention of the Chilean legal authoriti es
to punish the three Chileans convicted
of participation in the assault has given
satisfaction here, and is generally re-
garded as distinct concession by the
Chileans to the United States, as show
ing that there will not in all probability
be further undue delay in the disposition
of the case. These tidings have not,
SO far as learned, been officially made
known to Secretary Blaine by Minister
Montt, and it may be that the latter
will await the sentence of the convicted
Chileans before he presents to the sec
retary the conclusions reached by the
judicial authorities of his country
With matters in this promising condi-
tion it 10 unlikely a disturbing element
will be introduced into the negotiations
by the publication in complete of the
correspondence.

FIFrY-sEcoND CONGRESS.
Speaker Crisp Still Too Ill to Call the
House to Order Today.

WASHINGTON, Jan. At is definitely
settled that Speaker Crisp will not call
the house to order tomorrow when it re-
convenes. The speaker continues to
improve in health, but his recovery is
very slow, and has not yet progressed
far enough to make it safe for him to
leave his room. There seems to be q
general belief on the pant of the Demo-
cratic members that McMillin will be
selected speaker pro tenn. Efforts will
be made today to obtain the speakers
wishes on the subject, and custom has
made the speakers preference almost
the determining factor in such cases.
The Post tomorrow will say: The
statement published some time ago to
the effect that the leading Democrats
we're desirous of bringing the present
session to speedy adjournment, will
receive corroboratIon in an amend
ment to the rules which will be offered
by Representative McCreary of Ken
tucky. Governor McCreary believes
that all appropriation bills ought to be
reported to the house within the first
eighty days of the long, and the first
forty days of the short session, so they
can receive speedy consideration and
thus insure early adjournment. His
amendment is made applicable to all
sessions of congress.
An effort will probably be made dur
ing the present session to admit Okla
homa to statehood. On, official of the
government who recently made an in
spection there, comes back to Washing
ton with ali enthusiastic account of the
growth and Importance of Oklahoma.
1t is learned from an authoritative
source that an effort will be made to
repeal the disability pension law and
adopt in its place a per diem service
pension bill.
Representative Blanchard says the
river and harbors bill will be ready to be
presented by March.

Associated Press Dispatches.


New YORK, Jan. 4.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent says he hears
the Chilean government has cabled
orders to Minister Pedro Montt at Wash
ington to make sincere apology to the
United States for the unfortunate and
deplorable attack upon the Baltimore
sailors, October 10th last. The apology
is unqualified in character. The other
matters which have been in
dispute between Chile and the
United States are to be speedily
considered by the new administration.
From semi-official sources he learns that
the reason why the Santiago police are
kept in the vicinity of the American
legation is that the intendente of the
city is in daily receipt Of letters contain
ing threats to burn and sack the lega-
ti0n. The correspondent asserts that it
iH no secret that those who cherish the
idea Of war between the United States
and Chile are friends of Balmaceda.
The correspondent learns that the
German minister, Gutschmidt, offered
the services of his country as mediator
on his own personal responsibility.
This is in line with his course OF action
ever since the present government came
into Office. He has pursued it with a
view to getting up a reputation for him
self as diplomatist.

Chicago Board of Trade Election.
CHICAGO. Jan. 4.-The vote cast today
in the election of officers of the Chicago
board of trade exceeded any in the his
tory OF the organization. The fight was
mainly on president, Jerome G. Steever,
the regular nominee, being defeated by
the opposition" candidate, Charles B.

For second vice-president, the only
other contested office, R. A. Chand-

Cudahy by two votes. The con-
test was so close that a recount
was ordered. No sharply defined prin-
ciple was at stake, but the impression

nected with the Graves Barnabv case.
is missing. He took train for Chicago
when the verdict was rendered. and
probably arrived there this morning.
When seen by an Associated Press re-
porter this afternoon, DIR. Graves en-
phatically reiterated his denial of hav-
ing made a confession. He says Dep
uty Sheriff Wilson came in and woke
him up at $3.50 in the morning, and said
he had just come from District ATTORNEY
Stevens, and that Stevens advised
Graves to make a confession implcat-
ing Ballou, saying it would help him

tor confessed, but Deputy Means re-
fuses to talk on the subject.
1t is asserted that detective in the
employ of John Conrad, the late Mrs.
Barnaby's law, is following Bal
lou on his eastern trip. No warrant for
Ballou's arrest has been issued, but the
grand jury is now in session and it is
asserted they are examining the deputy
ii.
Mrs Ballou is here and quite ill. DIR.
Graves wife has been out OF her head
most of the time since the verdict was
rendered, and to day was continually
raving about the doctor being hanged
His mother bears the trouble with more
fortltude. 1t has been charged by the
defense that the jury was unduly in
fuenced during the trial by having ac-
cess to the daily papers, but the jurors
strenuously deny this.
When the grand jury adjourned at a
late hour this evening, it was learned
that nothing had been done in regard to
indicting Ballou.
DIR. Graves caused surprise tonight
by stating that Ballou had come to him
Saturday night, last, and told him he
was going to leave town, because he was
afraid of being arrested if he stayed any
longer. When the doctor gave this in
formation, he suddenly became reticent,
and nothing further could be learned
from him.
ST.. LOUIS. Jan. A special dispatch
from Denver says: John Conrad, wit
nes for the state in the Graves Barnaby
case, speaking of Colonel Ballou's fl ght,
today said: ''Although Ballou fed, it is
as easy to bring him back as it was for
him to disappear. / will follow him to
the uttermost parts of the world"

Manager Rockwell, who is president.
secretary and treasurer of the league.
said today: ''There will be no further
meeting OF the managers on the matter
for some time at least. The matter has
been canvassed at length, and all the
parties at present in this city are in
favor of consolidation, providing we can
get suitable rate from the railroad
company. We will get an answer from
the company Wednesday, and then Mr..
Hardie and Mr.. Vanderbeak will return
north and see Bushnell and Hudson.
Then decision will be reached. OF
course, If the railway company refuses
to give us rate by which we can keep
the clubs travelling at long distances
without making financial loss, the
whole scheme will fall through.
Hudson, who owns bali of the
Portland club. opposes consolidation
on account of the so per cent division
Of the gate receipts, but that's the only
plan on which the consolidation can be
carried through. The schedule, adj
nit, is intricate and peculiar, but it is
good one and think will please every
one. The season opens with all the
clubs playing in California for six weeks.
Then all go north for three weeks. Then
they change around, some north and
some south. The season will end as it
began, in California. Mr. Vanderbeck
was formerly au owner in the Portland
club. He has been down to Los Ange-
les and will probably be at the head of
the cup in that city. In that case the
six clubs will be Los Angeles, San Jose.

The Garza Revolution Breaking Up-The
Bandits scattered.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A telegram
from General Stanley, dated San An
tonic, Tex, January 4th, received by
General Schofield tonight, leads him to
believe that the trouble is nearing an
end. The telegram is as follows:
"The commanding officer at Fort Ring
gold today reports that courier in
from Lieutenant Beach at Pineno passed
Captain Hardie at Salenno. All in
formation from that direction and from
scouting parties in the vicinity indicate
the breaking up and scattering of the
band of revolutionists. Reliable in
formation received conyinces me that
the reports mentioned in your telegram
=. of December 10Th are incorrect. ALI
the stage lines and travel here continue
unmolested. Captain johnson, at Fort
Brown, telegraphs that he returned last
night with his troop from 45 miles up the
Rio Grande where large ranch was
searched. No bandits were there. The
situation of the troops on the Rio
, Grande is as follows: Cavalry are scout
ing in Encinal, Duvall, Zapate and Starr
counties. The river is well protected
from Ringgold to Mcintosh.
The telegram from General Scofeld
December 25th, above referl ed to, called
the attention of General Stanley to the
reports current in Mexico that several
large ranch owners in Texas are harbor-
ing and aiding bands OF revolutionists.
THE REBELS WELL WATCHED.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 4.-Oficial
kilograms received at military head
quarters today from the commandments at
Forts Ringgold and Brown are to the
effect that Garza's men are being
watched by United States troops, and
will be prevented from mobilizing any
thing like formidable force on Ameri-
can soil. Captain Wheeler, at Fort
Ringgold, discredits the assertion of the
Mexican minister at Washington that
prominent Mexican citizeus are being
held by CARA at point in Duvall
county. Captain johnson at Fort Brown
has just returned from scout forty five
miles up the Rio Grande, but he met no
revolutionists. Fresh detachments went
out today. All the forces are suffering
much from lack of forage and water for
their horses.

ANYTHING TO BEAT HILL
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS IN A DEs-
PERATE STRAIT.
The Bosses Hold Council of War but
Are Unable to Devise Plan by Which
to Prevent the Hill Democrats From
Organizing the Legislature.

New YORK, Jan. 4.-Senator James
T. Edwards, who defeated Perry Vedder
in the Chautauqua district, is today the
biggest fish in the political swim which
engages the attention of the political
leaders Of the state. He is bigger than
the legislature itself, for without him
the senate cannot organize with legal
quorum. The Democrats have sixteen
senators, but it takes seventeen to make
quorum. Senator Edwards de -ignates
himself an independent Republican,
but has been quoted as saying he
would sit with the Democrats to
organize the senate tomorrow. Fifteen
out-and-out Republican senator's, said
to favor the plan of absenting them
selves tomorrow to prevent quorum,
held meeting here today in conjunc-
ton with Platt and other leaders to
determine what to do. United States
Senator Hiscock was ALEC present. Ed
wards had been invited to meet with
them. and his failure to respond is re-
garded as ominous. After a lengthy
discussion, all the Republicans agreed
on one point, and that is unless Ed
wards refuses to aid the Democrats in
organizing the senate, it will be- useless
for the other Repub blican senators to re-
main away. Some philosophical Re-
publicans profess to be Indifferent as to
Edwards 3 attitude. AS to his standing
ON the contest between Walker (Dem.)
and Sherwood (Rep.) in the Twenty
eighth district, Edwards is said to have
stated he would not vote for Walker;
that no man should be admitted to the
senate who mad 1910 votes less than his
opponent, and that the electors of the
district should have another election
Most of the senators left tonight for
Albany.
The corridors of the Fifth-avenue hotel
were crowded all morning with Repub-
lican senators and politicians. They
spent all day devising means to over
come Hills majority in the senate. The
general opinion seems to be that any
thing is fair that can prevent the success
of Hill in bis efforts to seat enough Dem
ocrats to control the under branch OF
the Legislature.
