WAsHISGToN Cry, Jan. 17.-Although
the House is not able TO act upon any bills
introduced, the Senate is now in the full
tide of legislation.
A dozen bills have already passed that
body and have been sent to the House.
The work will be kept up this week.
Tomorrow the We'll and Lanbra claims
will be discussed in connection with pend

GENERAL ALGER ON BLAINE.
He IL OF the Opinion That the Secretary
of state VIII Run.

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 1.-THE Tribune
tomorrow will publish an authorized In
terview with General Alger, who has Just
returned from Washington City, in which
he makes known the result of recent con-
ference with Mr.. Blaine. Said he:
/ saw Blaine, but he said nothing to me that
would furnish any indication as to whether he
would be candidate for the presidency or not.
My impression is that Blaine would be glad to
be relieved of the responsibility of being a can
didate, but If the Minneapolis convention shall
demand that he accept the nomination believe
he is too patriotic TO refuse j am not authorized
to speak for him in any way, and this is simply
my personal opinion.
There is a good deal of Chilean war talk in
Washington City.and war may be the outcome of
the present situation The army and navy natur-
ally favor il and their influence is felt War
preparations always excite and enthuse the
masses of the people, too, and the war policy is
apt to be temporarily popular on that account
But 1t seems to me that il would be
prudent and proper to send commits
sion to Chile, previous to deter
mination to begin hostilities, with view of
thus securing ample reparation and avoiding an
appeal to arms, which would sacrifice not less
than 10000 lives and cost $500. 100000 III the
eommi ssion failed war would be inevitable and
only refer to the appointing of commission
as a means of honorably avoiding hostilities
There is one good result of the war scare any,
way, and that is it has convinced the people of
the necessity for strong navy

Appropriations for Public Buildings.

WAsHIyGToN CITY, Jan. 17.-fSpeciai. J.
There is now no doubt in the minds of
shrewd politicians in the capital city but
that James G. Blaine is now in the presi-
Dental race, and in it to stay. The devel-
opments OF the past few days present
proofs conclusive that Mr.. Blaine is not
going to decline the nomination. The
matter is now out of his hands altogether
own hands in every section of the United
States.
When a delegate is chosen for the Min
neapolis convention. the friends of the
Plumed Knight will see that he is a tried
and true Blaine man. 1t is easy to see
that these men have had some assurance
from their chief that work of this kind is
not being done in vain. The fact is, these
delegates are being selected with Blaine's
knowledge and consent. His admirers in
nearly every state in the Union
have received instructions from sources
close to the great secretary that if unan-
imous nomination is rendered him he will
not decline the honor.
The PosT-INTELLIGFNCER correspondent
today discussed Blaine's chances with two
of the secretary's most ardent admirers in
the country-Senator Washburn is one of
the gentlemen referred to, and Hon.
Charles A. Pillsbury, the bonanza miller,
of Minneapolis, the other.
Mr.. Pillsbury was free in saying that
Mr.. Blaine would have no opposition at
the National convention, provided it was
found that his health was good enough to
permit him to make the race.
81 have no doubt but that it is" Mr..
Pillsbury added.
81 know it is" chimed in Senator
Washburn. ~ called at his residence Fri
day night and had long conversation
with him. | want to declare emphatically
have known Mr.. Blaine intimately for
several years and in all that time his
health has never been better than it is at
this moment"
During the conversation Senator Wash
burn and Mr.. Pillsbury laughingly stated
that there were only two Republicans in
Minnesota who were known to oppose Mr..
Blaine's candidacy. One of these men is
Eugene Hay, who was appointed United
States attorney by President Harrison,
and ex-senator Pierce. who is editing the
Minneapolis Tribune in the interest of Har-
rison'S denomination.

SECRETARY TRAcY's OPINION.
Balmacedist Refugees to Be Captured
From Aboard Merchant Ships.
Captain of the Yorktown Describes the
Situation TO His Government-Nawai
Department. will Continue to Pro-
tect the Unfortunates.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 17.-Secretary
Tracy tonight made public the following
dispatch from Commander Evans, of the
Yorktown, now at Valparaiso, in regard
TO the Balmacedist refugees aboard that
vessel:
VALPARAISO, Chile, Jan. 16.-The American
minister informs me that the Chilean minister
of foreign affairs has changed his mind about
refugees now on the Yorktown, and that they
may be taken out of any merchant vessel
touching at Chilean port by local au-
thority. Arrangements had been made for
all OF them to sail today, but this change on the
part OF the Chilean minister of foreign affairs
compels me TO keep them, which crowds me
very much. Shall I land them at Callao or
Mollendo Peru? No steamers from here go direct
to neutral territory. This unexpected act of the
Chilean minister is due, he states, in part TO my
saluting the Spanish minister when he came on
board to deliver two refugees have requested
the American minister TO say to the minister of
foreign affairs that am responsible to my own
government and not to that of Chile in such
matters, and consider his criticism offensive
and will not accept it. His action seems I'M
worthy of the representative of a serious gov
ernment. EVANS.
This action on the part of Pereriera, the
Chilean minister of foreign affairs, in de-
Gliding that refugees might be taken out of
any merchant vessel touching at a Chilean
port by local authority, was a great sur
prise to the officials in Washington. They
were led to the belief from the fact that
the refugees were allowed to go aboard
the Yorktown without molestation that
they would be permitted to leave the
country without further hindrance. Not
withstanding this setback to their de-
parture, there is no doubt but that they
will be able to get to neutral territory if
the navy department can bring about such
a result.
Secretary Tracy said that he will send
reply to Commander Evans tomorrow, in
structing him what to do in the matter
He will probably order the refugees taken
to some place in neutral territory by the
Yorktown. There is no ground for offense
to the Chilean government in the action
of Evans saluting the Spanish minister
when the latter came aboard to deliver
two refugees who had been under his care
Naval regulations require commanders to
extend that courtesy to visiting dignita-
ries.
The latest move of the Chilean govern
ment, as voiced by the minister of foreign
affairs in the present case, is very unsatis-
factory TO such officials in Washington
City as will express themselves with re-
spect to the matter. 1t is felt to be case
of adding insult to injury.
Secretary Tracy evidently regretted
what had occurred, and seemed to think it
an atfront to the nation.

SENATOR PLUMB's PROPHECY.
He Thought the Republicans Would Try
to Enlarge the Currency.

LEAvESwoRTH, Kan, Jan 1.-THE Times
today publishes letter written by the late
Senator Plumb, just before his death, to
that paper In it he SAID he was glad the
Times continued to discuss the financial
question. Among other things he wrote:
s.There is an abundance of evidence that
this question is coming to the front in a
national way In fact the feeling is very
strong to shift the issue from tariff to
currency. Something will happen one of
these days which will open the eyes of a
good many people. Before this congress
is over, in my judgment. you will find a
large majority of Republicans, perhaps,
all voting for a much more comprehensive
measure in the direction of enlarging the
currency than ever yet proposed"

FAIR BODIES.
Difference Between the Local and Ma
tional Commissions Exnlained.

WASHINGTON CRY, Jan. 1.-THE COM
mittee on federal legislation of the Worlds
fair, in order to correct the misapprehen-
sion prevailing as to the separate duties of
the Worlds Columbian commission and
the Worlds Columbian exposition, has
issued an address in explanation of the
true relations of the two bodies and defin-
ing the position of each in reference to the
proposed S5000,000 appropriation for the
Worlds fair
The address cites the fact that the COM
mission is charged with the introduction
before congress of measures enabling the
commission to carry out the responsibility
of the government for the Worlds fair.
The address continues and says that the
Worlds Columbian exposition is corpo-
ration under the laws of Illinois, and is
frequently called the ''local directory" or
Chicago directory" The Worlds Column
bian commission is generally known as
the national commission"
The Illinois corporation is charged with
the duty of the selection of suitable sites
and with the expenditure, as agent of the
people of Chicago, of $10,0OO,000 raised by
the citizens of that city.
The commission which represents the
national government is charge6uxith the
duty of generally directing the exposition.
The address then gives in detail the
various minor duties of each or
ganization and reviews the work of
each, the appointment of committees,
selection of officers, etc. As the city of
Chicago raised $40, ,O00, 900, and about $17,-
100000 is necessary to actually defray the
expenses, the national commission is re-
quested by the "local directory" to indorse
the request it has proposed to make t0
congress for a loan of $5,000,O00. This re-
quest the commission thinks but proper
and indorses it, conditioned upon
such terms as congress might impose.
However, the directory having now de-
cided TO ask congress for an outright ap-
preparation of 5000, 900, instead of loan
of that sum and the national commission
not having taken any action upon
the last proposition Outright appropria-
tIon) the committee on federal legislation
of the World Columbian exposition does
not feel called upon to take any part for or
against the proposition which would in
any sense commit the national commits
sion or its board of control to the same
The address concludes with a short re-
view of the work on the grounds and the
assurance that everything will be ready
for dedication on October II.
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Director-General Da-
Wis was interviewed by an Associated
Press reporter tonight regarding the posi-
ton of the legislative committee of the ma
tional Worlds fair commission as an
nounced in these dispatches tonight. He
said:
The committees action conforms with the
action of the national board of commissioners
at the last meeting The committee is not
tagonistic 10 the appropriation, but as its in
structions were to work merely in the interest
of loan il is concluded that II has no reason TO
go beyond that do not think the attitude of
the committee will be a bar to the success of
the measure

That Party Pretending Reform to Make
Presidential Campaign Thunder

WAsHtSGTos CRY, Jan. l7-fSpecial. !
The indications are that the Democrats are
not going to make an enviable record in
the Fifty-second congress. About the
only political programme that the leaders
in either house have mapped out is to ar
range TO take recess on or before June /.
Whether they will be able to carry out
this programme remains TO be seen. As
has been stated many times, the Re-
pubiicans do not propose 10 use any
dilatory methods IN preventing such an
outcome. The Republicans are just as
anxious TO complete the work of the first
session at an early day as their Demo-
cratic opponents. The prominent men on
both sides want TO get through with the
legislative work and return home TO take
part in the preliminary duties of the pres
idential campaign.
