o..-s,sry Blaine. whose peaceful star
,aronorarlly obscured on Monday by
'".a..vorb of President Harrison, had his
,o.dsv. President Harrison, the war
-.s.r -, was eclipsed by Secretary Blaine,
~ ,oacemaker. Secretary Blaine brought
:. W. N ont with characteristic diplomacy
.l-onyh Chairman Blouht, Of the House
ta-o,gn affairs committee, who as a demo-
ratio leader, might be supposed to be in
soDandeut Of him. Secretary Blaine could
-. have very we'll gotten it out through
rS.irman Sherman, of the Senate foreign
rslations committee, anyway, because SEN
a,or Sberman and Secretary Blaine are not
=, terms of even official intimacy. Taking
s1vsntsge Of a call from Chairman Blouns,
socre.ary Blaine not only showed
him CODY Of the reply received yesterday
n tha ultimatum of last Thursday, but
cave bin leave to talk about it freely, and
also gave him the impression that it was
sminently gratifying to the Secretary of
State as indicating that as result Of his
rasceful diplomacy war had been honor
ably ayerted. From the dates it was made
svident that this peaceful and honorable
sottlement was not the result of the Presi-
d.nt's message, but of Secretary Blaine's
ragotistions since this Chilean reply was
& evidently written before the message went
in and sent from Santiago in a cablegram
Monday night before the contents of the
4 message could possibly have been known in
Fl Santiago
HARRIsON'S MESSAGE UNNECESSARY.
According to the Blaine theory the mes
sage was unnecessary; yes. worse than un-
B necessary, because calculated to interfere
& With the friendly relations promoted by the
secretary. Secretary Blaine did not furnish
Il Chairman Blount copy to take away with
q him, but inasmuch as the President had
said that be proposed to send a copy of it
formally to congress to~morraw this was
perhaps more than even Secretary Blaine
felt like doing But Chairman Blouat got
81 vivid impression of it, which, as communi-
Gated by him on his arrival at the capitol,
first to his democratic colleagues of the
foreign affairs committee, prompted them to
use the terms "abjectn and "groveling" in
speaking Of the apology, which they under
StoodtO have been perceived by him in
every line OF the document. II really felt
sorry for the man who felt he had to write
that cabegrsm" was Chairman Blount's
own graphic summary of his impressions.
& Chairman Blount could not, of course,
even from bis careful reading of the Chilean
ST reply, give its terms, but it Is evident from
bis account of it that besides the apologetlc
81 phrases, it offers to withdraw the Malta
note as an error Of judgment, to withdraw
the request for Minister Egau's recall, and
let the United States practically settle the
question OF Teparatlon or indemnity in its
way BY arbitration, or even by reference to
our supreme court. il that be necessary. As
