THE LAST TELEGRAM.
The Final Stand Taken by This Governme
Towards Chile.

The Final Stand Taken by This Government,
Towards Chile.
The following is the telegram referred to in
tho Presidents message which was sent by Mr.
Blaine to Minister ESan on the 2lst instant:
II am directed by the President to say to YOU
that he has given careful attention to ali
that has been submitted by the govern.
ment Of Chile touching the affair OF
the assault upon the crew of the U. s.
S. Baltimore in the city OF Valparaiso on the
evening Of the 10th Of October last, and
to the evidence Of the officers and crow Of that
vessel, and of some others who witnessed the
affray, and that his conclusions upon the whole
case are as follows:
First. That the assault is not relieved of tie
aspect which the early information of the event
gave to it, viz: That of an attack upon the uni.
form Of the United States Navy, having its orr
gin and motive in feeling Of hostility to this
Government, and not ip any act of the sailors
or of any of them.
Second. That the public authorities Of Val.
paraiso Aagrantly failed in their duty to pro-
tect our men, and that some q the police
aud Of tine Chilean soldiers and sailors
were themselves guilty OF unprovoked as
saults upon oCr sailors before and after arrest.
He thinks the preponderance of tho evidence
and the inherent probabilities lead to the con-
clus,on that Riggin was killed by the police or
soldiers.
Third. That he is therefore compelled to
bring the case back to the position taken by
this Government in the note Of Mr.. Wharton
OF October q last "a copy OF which you will de.
liver with this), and to ask for a suitable
apology and for some adequate reparation for
the injury dono to this government
You will assure the government Of Chile that
the President has no disposition to be exacting
or to ask anything which this government
would not, under the same circumstances, freely
concedc. He regrets that, from the begin
ming, the gravity OF the questions involved has
not apparently been appreciated by the Gov
eminent of Chile, and that an affair in which
two American seamen were killed and sixteen
others seriously wounded, while only one Chilean
was seriously hurt, should not be distinguished
from an ordinary street brawl between sailors in
which the provocation is wholly personal and
the participation limited. No self-respecting
government can consent that persons in M
service whether civil or military. shall be beaten
and killed in aforeign territory in ntment OF
acts done BY or imputed to their government.
without exacting suitable reparatiou. The
Government of the United States has freely
recognized this principle, and acted upon il.
when the inquiry was dons by ito people 70 one
holding an Official relation 70 q friendly
power. in resentment Of acts done
By The latter. In such case the

No amount of evasion or subterfuce is able
to cloud our clear vision Of this brutal work.
1t should be noticed in this connection that
the American sailors arrested, after an ex-
animation, were, during tho four DAYS follow
Ing the arrest, every one discharged, no charge
OF any breach of the peace u other criminal
conduct having been sustained against a single
one OF them. The judge OF crimes, Foster. in
note to the Intcndcnte, under date OF Octo-
Der 22-beiore the dispatch from this govern
ment OF .he following day, which aroused the
authorities OF Chile to q better sense of the
gravity OF the affair-says Having presided
temporarily over this court in regard to tho
seamen Of the U. S. cruiser Baltimore
who have been tried on account
OF the deplorable conduct which took
place." etc. Tho noticeable point hero
IL that our sailors had been tried before the I'D
Of October and .lat the trial resulted IN their
acquittai and return to their vessel. 1t il quito
remarkable and quite characteristic OF the
management OF thisatfair by tho Chilean police
authorities that We should now be advised that
Seaman Davidson OF tine Baltimore has been
included in the indictment, his otfense being,
so.far as have been able to ascertain, that he
| attempted to defend q shipmate against an as
! saiant who was striking at him with knife
The perfect vindication OF orr men is furnished
by this report; one only is found to have been
guilty of criminal fault and that for ON act
| clearly justiiable.
As to the part taken By the police in tho
affair the case made by Chile is also fa- from
satisfactory. The point where Riggin was
killed is only three minutes walk from the
poiice station and not more than twice that
distance from the intendencia; and yet, accord
ing to their official report, full half hour
elapsed alter the assault began before the po-
lice were upon the ground. 1t has been stated
that all but two OF our men have said that the
police did their duty. The evidence taken at
Mare Island shows that If such statement was
procured from our men it was accomplished by
requiring them to sign q writing in . language
they did not understand and by the representa-
ton that IL was mere declaration that they
had taken no part in the disturbance. Lieut.

coming up the street they passed these men
and left them behind them, is inconsistent
with their own statement as to the direction Of
their approach and with their duty to protect
them. and is clearly disproved. In fact Rig
gin was not behind, but in front OF the adyanc-
ing force, and WAS not standing in the crowd, but
was unconscious and supported il the arms OF
johnson when he was shot
NO MANLY REGRET EXPRESSED.
The communications of tho Chilean Govern
ment in relation to this cruel and disastrous
attack upon our men, as will appear from the
correspondence, have not IN any degree taken
the form OF q manly and satisfactory express
ion OF regret. much less apology. The event
WIS of SO serious character that, ii the iniu-
ries suffered by our men had been wholly the
result Of an accident in q Chilean port, the
incident Was grave enough to have called for
some public expression OF sympathy and regret
from the local authorities. 1t is not enough to
Say that the affair was lamentable, for humanity
would require that expression, even if the
beating and killing Of our men had been justi-
fable.
1t is rot enough to say that the incident il
regretted, coupled with tho statement that the
AFFAIR was not OF an unusual character in ports
where foreign sailors are accustomed to meet.
1t Is not for generous and sincere govern
ment to seek for words OF small or quiv-
ocni meaning in which to convey TO
friendly power an apology for an
offense SO atrocious as this. In the case OF the
assault by mob in New Orleans upon the
Spanish consulate in 1851, Mr.. Webster wrote
to the Spanish minister, Mr.. Calderon, that the
acts complained Of were - disgracefdl and
fragrant breach Of duty and propriety," and
Nj Mss csse,ca regrets Or In
mert could possibly do;'' that ''these
acts have caused the President great
pain and he thinks q proper acknowledgement ID
due to Her Majestys government" He invited
the Spanish consul to return to his post guar

Worlds Fair Notes.

Bulgaria has decided to participate
in the Exposition. Foreign partici-
patton, so far as ascertained up to
the present, embraces seventy-two
nations and provinces.
Canada has been given 6S, AT square
feet Of space in the various buildings,
exclusive of space yet to be granted
in the agriculture and live stock de-
partments.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union wants to put mp a build
ing, 70x100 feet, in the exposition
grounds, in which to exhibit the en-
tire system of its work and to con-
duct cafe for the sale of temperance
drinks.

they are fast assuming the appear

and finishing work is in progress.
These buildings are the Woman's,
Horticulture, Transportation, Mines,

cries. Five more-the Government,
Fine Arts, Agriculture, Diary and
Illinois State-are erected to the
roof lines. The Electricity, Manu-
features and Machinery buildings
are being advanced rapidly.
The exposition authorities are
anxious that all of the States and
Territories which intend to erect
buildings at the exposition, and
which have not yet submitted plans
for approval, do so at the earliest
possible moment. Very soon time
will be specified beyond which plans
will not be accepted. May 1st is the
date likely to be chosen. The demand
for space is SO great that delinquent
States are liable to lose the sites that
have been assigned to them.

The Australian lamprey has its prin-
cipal habitat in the Murray river, and
consequently in the dry seasons it is apt
TO be imbedded beneath the hardened
clay, where no water is. As the stream
recedes, the animal fills its pouch and
disappears into the soft mud below
there to remain until the drought has
passed away, subsisting on the moisture
which it has learned to store in special
lied receptacle at the side of the head.
As matter of fact, the fish has mas
tered the difficult question of water stor-
age on its own account before the race
of homo sapiens has been able to solve
the same problem in the island cont,
nent.
1t is an interesting question whether
this Australian lamprey is not a inger-
ing example of the fish of Miocene ages,
and as such may be considered as an an
cestral type of European lampreys. A
sea lamprey that | examined alive,
caught in the salmon nets of the tidal
estuary, had a dintinct tendency to
swell at either side of the head, as if the
pouch might be forthcoming in time of
actual necessity. If the Australian type
is not the absolute ancestor of the British
genera, it is at least reasonable to sup
pose that it is an older form, and that
the divergent genera and species have
descended along different lines in the
great life struggle. That the pouch of
the antipodean lamprey is intended for

A story of General Grant.

once heard, with reverence and with
misty eyes, the story of General Grants
return from the last brief journey he
ever took from the cottage on Mount
Macgregor. The general had favorite
walking stick, without which he never
went abroad, even on his drives, and his
walking stick had its own place in the
corner Of his room; no hand but his own
ever put it there or took it thence. Day
after day .he journey from his chair to
that corner before he set forth, from the
corner TO his chair after his return and
the replacement Of the stick in its place,
grew more difficult to the generals
nerveless and weary feet.
And there came that day at last when,
on coming in, he glanced toward the
corner, stood for a moment silently,
waveringly, little culver on the brave
and steadfast lips; and then, with a ges-
ture which was a wordless remuneration
of life and all its dear associations, he
opened his tremulous hand and let the
old stick drop from it TO the floor at his
feet 1t was but few days later that
he entered with soldiers courage the
shadowy valley of the journey through
which David said, "Thy rod, thy staff,
they comfort me. Dorothy Lundt in
