The Present Situation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA cablegram
has been received at the state depart
ment from Minister Egan stating that
Rll the refugees. nine in number. who
were under the protection of the Ameri-
can legation at Santiago been trans
ferred to the United States man-of-war
Yorktown, lying at anchor i'll the har-
Dor Of Valparaiso. These refugees. il
is thought at the navy department. will
be transferred from Yorktown to some
passing vessel to be landed at CalIao
Peru, or, if that is impracticable, the
Boston, which is now at Calico, will re-
turn to Valparaiso, and the Yorktown
will land the refugees at Cailao.
In the present condition of affairs il
Is not thought likely that Minister Egan
Will be left unprotected at Santiago.
and If the refugees cannot be trans
ferred to passing coast steamer. it will
be necessary to have the Boston return
TO Valparaiso TO protect Minister Egan.
while the Yorktown lands her political
refugees on neutral territory. At the
navy department it is stated that so far
no orders have been sent TO the Boston
TO return to Valparaiso or for the York
town to leave that port.

COAST DEFENSES.
Bills to Provide Them Placed On
the Senate Calendar.


WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-In the senate
today Mr., Dolph. from the committee
on coast defenses, reported bill for
the purchase OF sites for fortitications
and also bill to provide for Notifications
and other sea coast defenseS, and they
were placed Oh the calendar.
Mr.. Berry, member of the commit
tee Oh coast defenSes, said that he dis
sented from the report on the latter bill
which carried with it an appropriation
of Sl23, 000.0 900, extending over period
of eleven years. In view OF the fact that
the revenues of the government were
hardly sufficient to meet the ordinary
expenditures, and in view of the fur
ther fact that there was an almost uni
versal demand for relief from excessive
taxation. he had not been willing to re-
port in favor of the bill carrying such
very large appropriation.
Mr.. DOlph said that the bill had been
amended in committee, and that, as re-
ported, it only carried an appropriation
of 800, 600, 000-Sl0, 900, 900 to be avail
able the first year and S9.000,000 a year
for ten years. 1t was the most ecOnomi-
cal proposition in regard to coast de-
lenses that had ever come before con-
greSS.
Mr.. Chiffon, another member Of the
committee on coast defences, said that
he concurred with Mr.. Berry in his
opinion as to the report.
Mr.. Perkins introduced a bill to re-
move the statute of Limitation in respect
to claims under the eight-hour law. Re-
ferred.
The senate then took up the calendar
and passed the following bills: To
authorize the construction of a bridge
across the Red River of the North at
DraytOn, n. D.; to establish a life-sav-
ing station at or near the mouth of
Rogue river, Oregon; appropriating
1926, 900 for the construction of two
United States revenue cutters for sery-
ice on the Pacific coast. After short

brought by the railroad company to
prevent the counties from collecting

pany, in accordance with the law passed
by the state legislature two years ago.
The cases we're decided by the United

the law was not valid and the taxes
could not be collected. Since this de-
ciSiOn the cases have been argued at
seven different sessions OF court, but
were never settled. Today the supreme
court reversed the decision cf the dis
trict court, thus establishing the valid
ity Of the law. judges Thomas and
Winchester signed the decision, but
Chief Justice CorliSs dissented. holding
that the law was Eot valid. The rail
