Which Indicates That the Chilian
Situation Is Regarded as
Very Grave.
No Request Has Been Made to
the President for the
Correspondence.
Party Lines Will Not he Drawn in Dis
cussing the Matter in House or
Senate.

WARRINGTON, Jan. 13.--There can be little
doubt that the developments of the past
few days in tho investigation now being
conducted at San Francisco by Judge Adyo-
cate General kemy into tho attack on the
Baltimore's crew. the publication of the
testimony in the Shields case. and the ugly
demonstration at Valparaiso against the
Yorktown's gig crew, have had the effect to
create very uneasy feeling at the capitol.
Senators and representatives who have all
along derided the idea of any serious re-
suit following the Chilian correspondence,
and who have had the greatest confidence
that Chilli would soon tender ample apology
and make reparation for the misdeeds of
her citizens, are now willing to admit pri-
yately that the situation is full of grave
difficulties. One ominous sign is the great
inactivity of congress- in the matter.
Heretofore. it has been customary,
whenever matter OF the smallest public
interest is the subjects Of diplomatic cor
respondence, for one of the two houses to
call upon the president for information.
The gravity of the situation appears to have
had repressible effect upon congress. The
situation in congress is one of anxious wait
ing. in the hope that the president will soon
relieve the general desire for information.
Very naturally, senators and members who
are members of committees having the
foreign relations of the government in their
charge are unwilling to express themselves
at this jnnctnre upon the merits Of the CON
troversy, with which they may soon have to
deal officially. But from their private ex-
pressions it is clear that no party lines are
to be drawn and that the president will
have the united support of congress in the
adoption Of any measures he feels necessary
for the preservation of the dignity of the
United States.
Senator Morgan, leading democratic
member Of the senate committee on for
eign relations, is particularly indignant nt
the revelations in the case of Patrick
Shields, fireman Of the American steamer
Keweenaw. In the house the members Of
the foreign affairs committee have dis
conraged all who spoke to them in favor Of
for r,orraspondenoe. Members nf
tie Committee said it would be unwiso to
precipitate discussion in the house while
correspondence is incomplete, for fear that
ill-considered utterRnces or action might
result in embarrassing the negotiations, if
indeed 1t did not prevent an honorable un-
standing being reached.

Reports From Two Commanders.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Secretary Tracy
to-day received a cable message from Com
mander Evans, of the Qunboat Yorktown,
at Valparaiso. saying the last OF the
Chlllan political refugees who had been
under the protection of the different lega-
tlons at Santiago were safely transferred to
the Yorktown yesterday. There we're seven
of these refugees five at the United States
legation and two at the Spanish legation.
They were accompanied from Santiago to
the Yorktown by the American, Italian and
Spanish ministers, and they will remain on

BISHOP HAYGooD's LECTURE.
He Talks Well About the Negro in
the Cofqth

Bishop Haygood's lecture in the Y.
M. G. A. lecture course given last even
ing in the auditorium, was much en-
joyed by many of the members and
their friends.
The bishop spoke OF the great i'm
provement made by the colored people
during the last twenty-five years in the
south, and dwelt particularly on the
educational advantages, which have
been given them, more having been
done for them in fact, than for
any other people in the same length of
time. More than two and one-half mill
lions of them can now read the Bible
and more than 100000 have been Chris
tianized.
Having spent most of his life in the
south the bishop is we'll acquainted with
his subject, and gave some illustrations
of the negro's great fidelity during the
war. He also gave some humorous IL
lustrations of their powers of expression,
showing the ease with which they man
ufacture words to fit the occasion. He
noted some of the fine colored ora
tors who are excelled by few white
men, and predicted that they will not
be backward in this direction. He con-
cuded by saying that the white people
of the south have done better by the
colored race than any other people, con-
sidering the circumstances under which
they labored.

La Gripnel
comforter

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

OF 30 elievous nature. The pretext
that the Valparaiso riot was only a
drunken sailors brawl. is disproved by
all the evidence. The fact that police
and soldiers were among the principal
assailants OF our unarmed sailors ia rea.
son enough why this government should
exact the most complete reparation.
And when to this is added the inhuman
conduct of the authorities in refusing
the wounded tars surgical attendance,
thereby causing the death of one OF
them. and the pusillanimous conduct of
Judge OF Grimes Foster and the rest OF the
Chilean legal machinery, what is there
to prevent the United States from en-
forcing her demands at the mouth of
the cannon, and that without delay?

ON WITH THE FIGHT.

And now the minority report of the
grand jury, which formed an eloquent
protest against the excessive white
washing methods OF the majority OF that
body, has been ordered stricken from
the court fles by Judge Smith. This
action may be, and possibly is technic-
ally correct and legal !; but why is it that
the benefits of legal hairsplitting are
always of aid to the vicious, the thiev-
ing, the bad elements? ThAt0Nm ority,
report was a ray of honest light amid a
gloom of repressed, CLOSED over, ques-
tionable transactions. And now that,
even, has no longer legal existence The
story of San Francisco's futile attempt
to purge itself of polit ical villainy
has been repeated here in the failure OF
our grand jury to produce any decisive
results. The situation is enough to
sicken honest men, but tits, at the came
time, spectacle which shnuld inspire
anti-boodlers, anti rascality, anti dis
honesty citizens with new vigor in the
fight against those base creatures who
are always trying to fix themselves in
high places and who sometimes, as the
taxpayers Of this city know TO their cost,
succeed in lining their pockets With
broad pieces which belong in the public
treasury.
The fight must 60 on; hearts of honest
men must be stout, and little setback
like this present fizzle of the delibera-
tions of body which should have re-
suited in dynamic upheaval of public
pilferers can be made an incentive to
oontiued warfare. After all, the cleo
tions are not go very far off, and the bal
weapon in the cause of honesty and
political purity.

THAT ill-feeling against Americans
has not died out in Chile is evidenced
by the fact that when Commander
Evans Of the Yorktown went ashore at
Valparaiso the other day, his gig, while
waiting at the landing, was stoned by q
crowd of roughs. The commander at
once reported this unfriendly demon
stration to the chief Chilean naval Off
GER, and that functionary immedi-
ately brought the matter to the
attention of the police, besides ex-
pressing deep regret at the occurrence,
and promising that no efforts would be
spared to bring the offenders to justice
1t would, of course, not be fair to hold
the Chilean people responsible for this
inimical act, especially since the au.
thorities so promptly made amends.
But, taken in connection with the
revelations made by the inquiry now in
progress at Vallejo, into the Baltimore
affair, the patriotic American 9
blood is made to boil, that
this nation has been 80 long
suffering and patient with govern
ment that is SO slow to redress wrongs

GEN. E. BoUToN, the foreman of the
late grand jury, elsewhere in an inter-
view states how he came to file his
nervy minority report after the jury had
been discharged. That a little error in
time should cause document of un-
speakable value to the people to be
legally annihilated, is misfortune, but
the people know what the document
contained, and public opinion over
whelmingly sustains the views it ex-
presses. This is not an age in which pub
lie views are formed by order of court,
or obliterated because Judge orders a
page of his records erased.

STILL BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

The Evening Express, in reply to our
request to publish the facts concerning
the New York senatorial contest, which
we stated briefly without argument,
carefully omits the facts, ignores the real
points of the grave controversy, and APP
peals only to unthinking readers by
keeping their attention wholly on imma-
terial incidents. The real and only
question Isl Were the four disputed sena-
torships filled by the voters with Repub-
licans or Democrats? The Republican
county officers certified that four Repub-
licans were elected to fill them. Demo-
Gratis disputed it, and appealed to the
courts to decide. Both parties were
fully heard. The court of appeals, the
highest in the state, decided that three
of the four were to be awarded to DEM
ocrats and one to remain to the Repub-
licans. In obedience to this decision the
returning boards certified them accord
ingly.
Now, if the Los Angeles Express
would say of that decision as the great
Republican paper the New York Tribune
did "We bow to the decision'of the court
"of last resort, in the integrity OF whose
intentions we have entire confidence"
it would to that extent resemble great
paper. Instead OF that the Express saws
that our contention that the Repub
licans could not have gained a major
ity in the senate because the Demo-
Gratis had majority on the state
ticket is absurd, when in truth we made
no such contention. We said that every
body in New York thought it was queer
that state that went nearly $4,000
Democratic on everything else should 60
Republican on the senate. What ne
think of it we did not say. Nor was it
necessary. 1t does not count in court
proceedings, but ON the better public
the plain inference has made profound
impression that the senate was made
Republican by Republican officers, and
not by the voters.
The Express also says that Governor
Hill and his fellow-conspirators dis
placed the three Republicans through
the aid of Democratic boards of super
visors and Democratic state returning
board. All of these boards acted under
the direct orders of the courts- making
successive returns until bothi parties
were satisfied to submit the cases for
final decision, which they did by stipu-
lation signed by the attorneys of the
respective parties.
The Express further says that that
was no contention on behalf of the four
Democrats that they had received ma
jorities of the votes On the contrary,
each of the four did contend just that;
for the law recognizes no other power to
elect except. votes, and no count could
award an elective office except by de-
Gliding who had a majority of the'votes.
That was the only contention and that
the only point of decision by the court
in each of the four cases.
To characterize the Democratic con-
testants in whose favor the court de-
cided, and their Democratic friends, in
Guiding Governor Hill, as conspirators
to count out Republicans, is to bear
false witness against them and will meet
the disapproval of fair-minded men,
as we'll as Democrats.

Truth and Fiction.

j Touchstone says that "the truest poet
ry is the most feigning." Without go
ing that length, we may affirm that the
CONSTRUCTION of correct versification
gives man so much to think of that he
cannot attend very strictly to the truth
of what he says. Blank verse of the or
dinary sort does not come under this
rule; it leaves the mind very free. And
hymns-Dr Watts ruthlessly sacrifices
the sound to the sense; some lesser lights
sacrifice the sound without benefting
the sense. But no one can read some
parts Of Pope carefully-those lines in
which, in word or two, he sums up the
character or achievements of the nota-
bilities Of his day-without suspecting
that an apt rhyme occasionally beguiles
the poet into a more forcible expression
of admiration or contempt than he would
have given in prose.
The teller. or writer of the story has
the impulse upon him so strongly to
make it good story that it is next to
impossible for him to avoid modifying
its more commonplace features. And he
adds little here and he prunes a little
there. Point before precision is, it may
be feared, sometimes even the historians
motto. There are veracious narratives
we feel bound to accept on the word of
our friends. We should not have be-
lieved the stories had any one else told
them; as it is, we store them in our
memories as splendid illustrations of the
often quoted saying of the poet that
truth is stranger than fiction.-All the
Year Round.
