CHlLIs REGRETS.

The Gillian Republic Will Express Its SOr-
row For the Valparaiso Outrage.
NEW YORK, Jan. Ga Valparaiso
cablegram to the Herald runs thus:
The Chilian government has cabled or
ders to Minister Pedro Montt ut Wash
ington to make a sincere apology 10 the
United States for the unfortunate and
deplorable attack upon the Baltimore
sailors on October IS, last. The apology
is unqualified in its character. Other
matters which have been in dispute
between Chilli and the United States are
to be speedily considered by the new
administration.
From semi-official sources it is
learned that the reason the Santiago
police are kept in the vicinity of the
American legation is that the intend
ente of the city is in daily receipt OF
letters containing threats to burn and
sack the legation. The government
desires to have the police near at hand
so as to prevent the execution of any
such threats. It is no secret here that
MANY of those who cherish ideas OF
war between the United States and
Chilli are friends Of Balmaceda.
The German minister, Baron Gut
chmidt, 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 view to getting up
reputation as diplomatist. He gave
many hints to Senior Malta, late minis
ter Of foreign affairs, but has refrained
from Offering any advice to the new
cabinet
Senior Belizary Prat has been ap'
pointed the new intendente Of Sam
tiago. At the time OF the fall OF VAL
paraiso his name was prominently
mentioned as q candidate for the presi'
dencY.

RATIFIED.
The Cherokee Council Ratities the Sale Of
the Strip-Over Six Million Acres OF Land
to lie Opened to Settlement.

The Cherokee Council Ratities the Sale Of
the Strip-Over Six Million Acres OF Land
to BE Opened to Settlement.
TAHLEouAH, l. T., Jan. 5.-The
Cherokee council yesterday formally
ratified the agreement made by the
commissions representing the United
States and the Cherokee nation with
relation to the Cherokee strip and all
that now remains to be done to throw
open over 100000 acres OF land to
white settlement is that congress- shall
ratify the agreement
The sale OF the strip has long been
the subject of political dissensions in
the nation, and Cherokees have divided
over the issue as radically as repub'
licans and democrats over the tariff.
Not many years ago there were few
Cherolsees so daring as to pronounce
openly in favor of sale and he who
advocated allotment in severalty was q
marked man. Civilizing influences have
been so busily at work that to-day gen.
eral satisfaction prevails overthe action
taken.
The most important question the
Cherokee nation will now have TO set
tie, assuming that congress gives its
sanction to the agreement, will relate
to the disposition of the moneys
500, OOO-derived from the sale. The
Cherokee nation contains between o.
900 and IS, 900 people, exclusive of the
intruders. OF this population between
5000 and 1000 claim citizenship
through marriage. The Cherokees by
blood will strenuously oppose division
in the fruits of which citizens of adopt
ion will share. They will insist that
only Cherokees by blood shall partici.
pate in the distribution, If it be decided
to distribute the money per capita now
or hereafter
The squawmen, as those who claim
citizenship by marriage are not inaptly
called, will undoubtedly seek theirp pro-
portionate share of the purchase money
and it is not improbable that eventually
the United States courts will be called
upon to adjudicate the contentious
which will arise within the next year
II the sale is completed.
Meantime, IL congress ratifies the
agreement nearly 10000 fertile 100
acre farms await settlers

The accident was caused by an al
most impenetrable fog.
General Manager Hayes was deeply
moved by the mishap He placed all
his information regarding the wreck
before the reporter and made no at
tempt to hold back anything. ut is
terrible, TERRIBLE" he said, land can
not account for it in but one way. The
engineer of the westbound train,
Bouchard, was lost, that is to say, he did
not know for the moment where
he was. He had been running on
the road five years and his father
before him was an engineer. He was
o careful man. ! have looked up his
record and 1t is good one. He was q
man on whom we had right to de-
pend and yet he failed us for a moment
and the wreck resulted. When l say
that he was ''lost" / mean that for q
moment he did not know just where he
was There was q dense fog and he
could not see far away. 1t was the
regular meeting place, and Bouchard had
turned In there many time to let the
east bound train pass. You and often
pull out our watches and put them
back without knowing the time. So
Bouchard did. In the fog he saw so
little to indicate where he was that he
mechanically ran by his switch and to
death. It was one Of those wrecks no
rules or human foresight can prevent
The east bound train had the right to
be where it was. 1t was Bouchard's
duty to turn to the side track. Both
men are dead, and we will never kno "
why Bouchard ran by the switch"

TO-NIGHT'S DEMONSTRATION.
Grand Reception to be Given Hon,
John F. Davis.
All the Republican Clubs to be in Line
The Demonstration OF
the Campaign.

The demonstration this evening in
honor Of John f. Davis, the Republican
candidate for Congress, will doubtless be
the feature of the campaign, so far as this
city is concerned.
All the Republican clubs viii join in
the torchlight parade, which will be a
really brilliant affair. The new organiza-
tion composed of business men will turn
out for the first time, carrying umbrellas
surmounted by torches.
The Resolutes, Columbias, Fire Brig
ade, Hose Company and Elk Grove Club
will also be in the line, which will prob
ably be composed of upward of a thou
sand men, under the marshalship of Cap
tain T. b. Hall.
The Harrison and Reid Fire Brigade
met at their headquarters, last evening,
and much enthusiasm was expressed in
regard to the parade, and. by unanimous
vote, the following named citizens were
invited to escort the brigade: George G..
McMullen, Henry L. Buckley, Ii. C..
Chapman, j. W. Todd, VIM. Beckman,
NJ. A. Howard, John Well and w. w.
Rhoads. The Secretary was instructed to
issue an invitation to those gentleman.
Chief Engineer Corsaw and President
Jennings deserve much credit for their
untiring efforts toward making the par
ade a success, and also for making this
brigade the finest and largest Fire
Brigade that was ever organized in Sacra-
mentO.
on account of the large number to be
in line the Chief appointed John Judge
Assistant Foreman.
A vote OF thanks was given these Off
GERS by the members OF the brigade

handsome banner, which will be carried
In the parade tonight.

the use OF the hose carriage. About $50
members siged the hose-cart roll. An
election of officers of the hose-cart re-
suited in the election of Tom Consolation

tant Foreman.

SHORT OF WATER.
The Firemen Hell pIess in the Face of
Flames.
a Restaurant Burned Out-Uncertainty
as to Whether or Not Fam
lily Perished,

A few minutes after L o'clock last night
fire broke out in a small one-story
frame building on the west side of Third
street, adjoining Cronin's brick liquor
store. Smoke was seen issuing above the
rear of the building for long time be-
fore an alarm of fire was turned in, no
one knowing apparently where the near
est fire-alarm box was located.
People on the street shouted 'Firep'
and others blew police whistles. For five
minutes or more this was kept up, when
finally No. rs engine came over from
Second street, and then an alarm was
sounded.
But fire engines were of no use for the
first fifteen minutes, and the firemen had
to stand there and see the flames eat up
the building, being powerless to prevent
it because OF no water.
Two sickly streams Of mud tricbled
from the nozzles, and one engine had to
shut down because il couldn't handle the
mud and slush it sucked from the hydrant
at Third and X streets.
Fortunately there were brick buildings
on both sides of the burning house,
which kept the fierce frames from spread
ing. After about fifteen minutes the fire.
men were able to land their streams
LNthbS VI unity ASGb lHSlub the burning
building, and then they soon conquered
the fire.
Apparently the hydrants had not been
flushed or ''blown-out" in a month, aud
if the buildings about the one in which
the ire started had not been OF brick it
would have been impossible to get
enough water to put it out. This demon
strates one thing-that the city must have
a better supply and better quality OF
water, or she viii be at the mercy of fires
in the future. She should also have a
chemical engine, or two of them.
The burned building was owned by J.
Slaughter, and was occupied by ed.
Miller, who conducted cheap restaurant
therein. It was thought for time that
Miller, his wife and three little girls had
perished. as they had been living in the
rear, their bedroom being just OFF the
kitchen, where the fire is thought to have
started. Nobody had seen them leave the
building, whose only exit was by the
front, but Chief Engineer Guthrie and
his men made thorough search of the
burned interior, ard could fined no
burned bedding nor anything to indicate
that any one had slept in the building.
Some one present at the fire further
stated that Miller had removed his family
to another place couple of days ago.
For all that, they were seen about the
restaurant yesterday, and some of the
neighbors insisted that they must have
slept there last night.
The loss OF the building and fixtures
amounts TO only few hundred dollars.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres Of
land in the heart Of Tehama County, :or the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land Of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, SO, 12o, 16O and $50 acres.

are especially attractive. They win be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment ofinterest only Tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal ~ paying the first Of Eve equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid tor three years, and then
the purchaser is to have hve years in which to
pay five equal annual installmentS, with in-
terest at the rate OF per cent. per annuIn,
making payments extending over period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
surcd that this is an opportunity TO purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
sPond between these figures.

lands, suitable for genera, farming and es-
peciauy adapted FOR fruitgrowing. cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ to

home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land al 500
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, ON terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers 4 result easy OF
accomplishment.

ooay oi land was the breaking up Of : large
holding Tor the purpose Of promoting its set
tiement IN smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
