Chilli Offers Settlement.
THE LITTLE REPUBLIC AGREES
TO WITHDRAW THE MATTA
NOTE AND CONCEDES
ALL DEMANDS.
The Administration Not Yet Satisfied.
Although the Baek-noNn is COM
piete--Chili's Humiliation
The Matter to be Ar
bitrated.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. 20
This Government to-day received Il
long message from Minister Egan,
conveying an offer on the part OF
Chill of the settlement Of all exist
ing difficulties with the United
States. The message confirms in
every particular the statements
made in the exclusive Associated
Press dispatch received from Sant-
ago last evening, which was, in ef-
feet, that Chill had agreed to with
draw the offensive note sent by Sen
or Satta; to Withdraw its request for
the recall OF Minister Egan, and to
submit the Baltimore affair to the
arbitration of some neutral nation,
or to submit the matter to the de
cision of the United States Supreme
Court.
The exact conditions cannot be as
certained. There is reason to be-
lieve, however, tha the Chilian Gov
ernment not only offers to Withdraw
the offensive note, but III addition
offers to apologize for it. 1t also
agrees to the positions taken by the
United States in regard to the right
of asvlum and the safe conduct OF
refugees. Inquiry tonight strength
ems the impression that the reply OF
Chill is not satisfactory TO the MEM
bers of the United States Govern
ment. The tenor of the offer is not
agreeable. And the proposition
| said to be contained in the reply, to
arbitrate the Baltimore affair, is
taken to mean the whole question
whether or not Chill shall apologize
as well as pay indemnity. OF course
that will not be entertained. The
United States must be the, Judge OF
the propriety of demanding an apol-
ogy-that cannot be arbitrated.
1t is believed that Congress will
insist upon having the Egan mes,
sage sent in tomorrow and that the
full text will then be disclosed.

THERE is already some talk i'll ne
gard to changes likely to occur in
the Congressional districts There
is not likely to be much change in
the second or third districts and We
have an idea that the addition OF
Gasconade county 10 the Senate dis
trict would be about right. This
would give us a population of about
Is. 800 and our Democratic majority
would be in the nelghborhood OF
twelve TO fifteen hundred. We see
it stated that there will be two bills
introduced by the members of the
legislature from st. Louis, referring
to which the st. Louis Chronicle
saws; lone is to be offered by
Representative Ryan and the other
by one of the Senators. Represent
ative Ryan's bill provides for four
teen Democratic districts, which, to
others, seems an impossibillty to
create. But Mr.. Ryan says he has
solved the puzzle and hopes to have
his bill adopted. \ great many OF
the friends of L. s. Hall are anx-
ious that in the redistricting OF the
State Randolph county will be taken
out of Mansur's district and if posi-
BILE the new districts be made up so
as to allow him to go to Congress
without retiring any OF the North

Our Seamen Must BE Protected.
Upon information received from Pat

British subject, but at the time the
fireman of the American steamer Kee wa
IA, in the harbor of Valparaiso, for re-
pairs, had been subjected to personal in
juries in that city, largely by the police,
] directed the attorney general to cause
the evidence of the officers and
crew Of that vessel to be
taken upon its arrival in San Fran
cisco; and this testimony is also herewith
transmitted. The brutality and even
the savagery of the treatment of this
poor man by the Chilean police would
he incredible if the evidence of Shields
was not supported by other direct testi-
Inony and by the distressing condition of
the man himself when he was
finally able to reach his vessel.
The claim for reparation has been
made on behalf of this man. for while he
is not a citizen of the United States, the

STOCK AND FARM.

The Kansas building at Chicago
ranks third in size among the state
buildings.
Wheat harvest throughout the state
is reported about three weeks later than
usual. Spring wheat, rye, barley, oats.
Downs Times: More farm machinery
is being purchased this season than for
number of years past. Every day
farmers can be seen hauling headers,
binders, etc., out of town, and the best
of all is that they pay cash down for
what they get.
Lawrence Journal: E. E. Slosson,
who graduated with the class of 80
from Kansas university, has just beer
elected full professor of chemistry in
the state university at Wyoming at a
salary of 1000. He gets $500 to start
with for laboratory filings.
Lyons Republican: A harvest hand
is treasure not to be lightly let slip
through ones fingers nowadays. A
young man coming home from a west
ern trip corralled one on the train the
other day; arriving at the depot he hur-
ried him off the car, struggled him
through back alleys and around dark
corners till he reached the livery stable
There he got horse and buggy, put
his prize INTO it, and drove out to his
fathers farm. Calls fair in love and
war"-and in harvest time when help is
scarce.

EMPLOYING" AND "EMPLoYED."

Gas matter of fact, however, to support
the peoples party under the belief that it is
labor party, is to act under misapprehen-
sion. It is not and can not, in the nature of
its makeup, be a labor party, or even one in
which the wage-workers will find their ha-
ven. Composed, as the peoples party is,
mainly of employing farmers without any
regard to the interests of the employed
farmers of the country districts, or the me
chanics and laborers of the industrial GEN.
tiers, there must of necessity be divergence
of purposes methods and interests. SAM
uel Gompers.
Here is at last stated plainly a control
ing fact that of course demagogues in
and out of the alliance have overlooked.
The farmers movement is from the fact
the farmer was in debt, and was short
of money, because in part short in crops
but the main hurt was interest payment
on an abnormal indebtedness. The
farmer out of debt, and owning his
land in fee simple, is a capitalist or he
belongs to the Independent money class
The successful farmer is ALWAYS loaner
of money. The French farmer, the
most thrifty tiller of the soil on the
globe, is the subscriber to all the French
loans the real lending capitalist of
France. the fact that in his normal
condition the farmer is capitalist, Is
one of the facts that has been over
locked in this later gospel, and its mem
ton now by Mr.. Gcmpers is timely and
suggestive.
