A CHILEAN CLAIM.

Minister Egan Would Have No Authority
to Present 1t Unless Instructed.
A special cable dispatch to the New York
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says:
"An incident has just come to light showing
United States Minister Egan's sympathy with
the Balmacedists. During the early part Of
1891 Antonio Matthew, an American citizen, was
arrested on o trumped-up charge The real
cause Of his arrest was his sympathy for the
congressionalists. He was so badly treated by
the police that he died.
'His widow repeatedly asked Mr.. Egan to
bring the matter before the Gillian govern
ment with view to obtaining relief. The
minister put her off from time to time on
various pretexts. Matthew had no right, he
said. to take sides against the government
which was recognized by the United States,
and he did not wish to be bothered about it
any more.
1.-THE fact is that the brutal treatment Of
Matthew was due to orders from valdes Carrera
friend OF Mr.. Egan, and this may be the
reason why the widows claim was not pushed.
II know that if this claim is presented to the
Gillian government, which knows the facts. it
viii grant the woman gratuity. Ihave seen I'M
questioned documentary evidence Of Matthews
citizenship"
At the State Department nothing Is known Of
this matter. 1t is said that Minister Egan would
have no right to present this or any other claim
without the authority of the State Department
and the department has not been notified Of it.

EXCURSIONS.

The variable weather yesterday afternoon in
terfered considerably with the excursion bust
ness, yet a large number ran the risk of the
showers and took refuge from the heat upon the
Potomac. At night at River View there was a
brilliant display Of fireworks, first those Of the
kind that will burn on the water, which was
decidedly novel sight and later there were many
set peices, bombs, rockets and other specimens
OF the pyrotechnic art upon the grounds. Both
displays were excellent and each number
was loudly applaaded. The grounds were
brilliantly Illuminated by Chinese lanterns and
incandescent lights with colored globes, and
the whole scene was really fairy-like. The
pyrotechnics were under the the charge Of Mr..
James Pain, and the program was a duplicate
of that which is given at Brighton Beach.
The Manchester will make special trip to
Marshall Hall tonight for the benefit of the
North Capitol NJ. E. Sunday school, There
will be special attractions on this occasion.
The Pink ROse Club Of young ladies gives an
excursion to River View today, and tomorrow
there will be grand family excursion by Cyrus
Castle, No. /, Knights of the Golden Eagle.
The steamer Pentz will convey the excursion

In this condition Mr. Stier repaired to a

Mr.. Mullowney, the prosecuting attorney,

Saturday afternoon Detective Mattingly was
standing Of the corner Of Pennsylvania avenue
and 10th street when a stranger, tapping him
on the shoulder, called his attention to two
young men who were making their way up 10th
street. north of Pennsylvania avenue. He told
the detective that they had asked him to pawn
q watch for them and he thought their actions
were suspicious. The officer was of the same
opinion and he started to follow the strange
young men. They had seen the detectives at
tention called to them and they were evidently
suspicious of him. and in turning corners they
managed to get out Of his sight.
When the officer reached 18th street he met
Precinct Detective Weldon and to him he re-
lated the story Of his shadowing the mon.
Thinking the men might return the officers
stood on the corner few minutes and presently
they came along. Detective Mattingly grabbed
his man, but the other man gave OGicer Weldon
a short chase. He was finally captured, how
ever, and both men were taken to the station
Detective Mattfngly's prisoner had the watch in
his possession and he gave his name as W. NJ.
Lewis. and that he was from New York. He told
the officer that he had won the watch playing a
game Of pool in a place on ~ street. The
prisoner arrested by Officer Weldon gave his
name as Isaac C. Hantz and said that his home
was in Harlem.
The watch is a gold hunting case timepiece
with an elk's head on the case.

Third Assistant Postmaster General HAGEN is
preparing the designs for a set Of stamps to be
issued by the Post Office Department in honor
Of the four hundredth anniversary Of the dis
covery Of America by Columbus. He is getting
together material that will suggest to him the
most appropriate subjects to be illustrated on
the stamps. One Of the scenes to be illustrated
undoubtedly is the landing Of Columbia The
Convent Of La Rabida, where Columbus was
housed Just before his departure from Spain on
his voyage Of discovery, will be the chief figure
Of another probably. The head of Columbus
will decorate one Of the stamps, probably the
two-cent stamp. 1t is not the intention Of the
department to retire permantly tho current
issue of stamps butt is likely that the issue will
be suspended for year, and that ct the end Of
that time the dies and plates for the jubilee
stamps win be destroyed and the old dies and
plates will be brought out and delivered to the
contractor again. The intention now 10 to hive
only one portrait on any Of the stamps, that Of
Columbus. It win take some time TO prepare
the designs after the selection of the subjects,
but Gen. Hazen expects 70 have them ON sAle
on January l.. The subjects are to be ssnt to
the American Bank Note Company, which viii
prepare the designs and submit them for APP

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1t is intimated that even the last house to
house canvass FOR the G. A. r. encampment fund
hos failed to produce the requisite results. 1
want TO suggest way that cannot fail Of sue
cess and that can very easily be worked. Let
each government employe, whether he gets
$4,000 year or dollar day, contribute 81
toward the fund. Surely no one will refuse to
give that much. and the deficit in the fund will
be made up at once. Many of the clerks are old
soldiers and have already contributed to their post
fund or in other directions for the same object,
but none of these woul refuse dollar. Many
have been in the government service since be-
fore the war, and certainly ought to be willing
to contribute 81 toward the entertainment Of
those who periled their lives that they might
draw their snIaries in security in this city.
1t must be remembered that the men who are
coming here i'll September are the men that
saved the life of the republic. Theyleft their bust
ness their homes and their families at the call Of
their country and marched to the front to pre-
serve the Union. They did preserve it and the
country owes them a debt of gratitude that it
can never pay. We in Washington saw more of
the stern realities and even the horrors of war
than did the people of any city where Grand
Army encampment has heretofore been held
and we should have q greater appreciation of
the services of these veterans whom We will
entertain.
l believe that If the suggestion have made
is acted upon the responses will be prompt and
practically unanimous from the government
employees. CITIZEN.
