ENCE GIVEN TO CONGRESS.
In Chill rs to the Reply of the
United States Governs ent-Ths
People Wrought up to "a High
Pitch-DlspIeased with Mont.

WAsnINGToN, Jan. 29.-The president to-
lay transmitted TO congress the additional
cores pondenCe in the Gillian matter, to-
yether with the following brief message:
To TIE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRE-
~sENTATIvEs: | transmit herewith addi-
,ional correspon dence between this gov
eminent aud the government OF Chilli,
consisting of a note of MIR. Mont,
tho CHILEAN minister at this capital.
to MIR. Blaine, dated January 90; O
"eply OF MIR. Blaine thereto, January 81,
and a dispatch, from MIR. Egan, our minis.
ter ut Santiago, transmitting the response
IF Mr.. Periern, the Gillian minister OF
foreign affairs, to the note Of Mr.. Blaine
If January 81, which was received by
ne on the 2Bth inst. The note OF
MIR. Montt to Mr.. Blaine, though dated
January %. was not delivered at the state
department until after l2 o'clock meridian
of the 18th and was not translated and
It's receipt notified to me until late
in the afternoon of that day. The
response OF MIR. Periera to our
note OF the 2lst withdraws, with accept.
able expressions of regret, the offensive
note OF Mr.. Malta of the 18th ult., and
also the request for the recall Of
MIR. Egan. The treatment Of the Incl
lent OF the assault upon the sailors OF the
Baltimore is SO conciliatory and friendly
that am Of the opinion that there is q
good prospect hat the differences coming
out of that serious affair can now be ad-
iusted upon terms satisfactory to this gov
crnment by the usual methods and with
out special power from congress.
This turn in the affairs Is very gratifying
to me, as | am sure II will be to congress
and to our people. The general support of
the efforts OF the executive to enforce the
Just right Of the nation In this matter has
given an instructive and useful illustration
of the unity and patriotism of our people.
Should it be necessary l will again COM
municate with congress upon the subject.

New York, Jan. 80.-R. q. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
IL is ~undeniable that there exists O con-
siderable feeling Of disappointment. More
business, but at lower prices seems to be
he rule. That the volume OF trade is
gradually increasing. even in branches
which have been dullest there seems
% be no doubt. But in an un-
usual number Of cases increased
sales appear to be the result of
yielding in prices, so that the average de-
cline IN prices Of all commodities during
he past week has been more than half OF
l per cent. There is more business done

since the unprecedented report of Deem
Der | has weakened the price.
Reports from other cities generally in
ticate Il gradual Increase in the volume OF

In dry goods there seems to be rather
ess activity as to cotton goods and In knit
goods some dullness. Clothiers are con
servative and waiting for indications of
the popular fancy, and hence the mems
wear WOODEN trade is perplexing. There Is
4 better feeling in the wool market. how
ever at New York as at Boston, and the
continuing sales prove hat manufacturing
has by no means ceased. Cotton is an
eighth lower. Corn Is half a
cent higher, with heavy receipts
At the west, and products a little
stronger. But wheat is q quarter
and oats three. fourths OF q cent lower.
Wheat receipts have been quite large,
while the exports for the last week or two
have somewhat declined. Oil is nearly a
cent lower and coffee a quarter stronger.
The money markets throughout the
country are unusually well supplied, but
In part because the demand Is only moder-
ate. Collections are generally improving

Rejoicing In Chill.

SANTIAGO, Chill, Feb IA cable dis.
patch was received Friday morning
from Minister Pedro Montt at Washing
ton repeating the text of President Harri-
sons message to congress, accompanying
Chili's reply to the ultimatum OF
the United States. Minister Mont
added that the government of the
United States was favorably disposed and
was content with Minitser Peirera's re-
ply. Senior Peirera read Senior Months
dispatch in the senate in the afternoon.
Nothing was said in the dispatch relating
to the question OF future arbitration and
indemnity, but Chilli will certainly pay
whatever ; indemnity Is agreed upon.
Little is heard, either in Santiago or
Valparaiso, but expressions of satisfaction
ut the peaceful solution of the trouble.
There is no doubt that the utmost anxiety
prevailed but now 1t has been relieved.
Officers of the navy would be pleased TO
see our squadron again In Gillian waters
and renew acquaintance. The presence OF
our war ships here would rave an excel
lent effect.
Minister Egan yesterday received mum
erous callers, who congratulated him on
the successful termination OF the negotia'
tions.
Judge of Crimes Foster Of Valparaiso
will tomorrow pass sentence on Gomez
Ahumada and others for killing Riggiu
and Turnbull and a~ssaulting the Other
members Of the Baltimore's crew.

OFFICIACLLY ID ED.
Chili's Apology to the United States Is
Accented.

Shth Apotogy To inc Unitou oLhtos As
Accepted.
WASHINGTON, Feb l. Secretary Blaine
cabled Minister Egan Saturday,mornlngthe
governments acceptance of the apology
contained in Chili's reply to Uncle SANS
ultimatum, in accordance with the presi-
dents message of the 2Sth instant. The
matter of a salute to the United States
flag was not mentioned.
Specific inquiries as to the truth of pub
lished statements hat this government
has taken the position that Chill must
salute our flag elicit positive and author
itatiye denials of a most sweeping charac-
ter. No demand is made upon Chill to
salute the flag, and the stories printed
this morning a. to alleged pro-
ceedings in the cabinet meeting Of yester-
terday on the whole subject of Gillian af-
fairs are pronounced to be absolute con
lectures and inventions.
1t is said this cable was sent to Chill
early this morning. 1t is likely the only
official cable sent:
Egan, Santiago-President Harrison ac-
cepts Chili's apology in the broad and gen.
erous spirit in which it was offered.
BLAINE.
N cable, it is said, also states that
the matter of indemnity to the families OF
the two sailors who were killed and he
fourteen who were wounded in the Val
paraiso affair can be setted by the two
governments without reference to arbi-
~tration.

The Duke aud Duohes of Teck Raised
From Virtual Pen ury to AHlusnce.
LONDON, Feb. 1t is said that Lord
Tollemache, who died recently, be-
queathed to the Duke and Duchess
OF Teck, the parents of Princess Vic
toria Mary of Teck, the iancee of
the late Duke of Clarence and Avondale,
the greater part of his fortune, amounting
to nearly $350,0O o a year. Lord Tolle-
mache was a neighbor of the duke and
duchess. The LUX and duchess of Teck
are not blessed with a superabundance
OF this worlds goods. In fact, some
years ago they were sold up
by their creditors. At this time they
occupied apartments In st. James's pal
ace, but the queen was so annoyed by the
fact that the creditors of the duke and
duchess had invaded the palace that they
had to seek a residence elsewhere. Since
that time they have lived quietly at the
White lodge in Richmond park, on the
Surrey side of the Thames, close to the
historic town OF Richmond.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Associated
press correspondent at Santiago, writing
under date of December 80, says: 1t is
the general opinion Of American naval
officers and others familiar with the sub
ject that there is not a ship in the CHILEAN
navy fully available for war purposes.
All of the vessels received i'll usage
during the last war and very little
has been done since then to repair
them and it is said that the machinery Of
all of them, including the Esmerelda and
Cochrane, is in very bad condition. Even
the Errasuriz, which was purchased in
Europe and arrived only last week, is
said to be in the same condition as the
others. IL is reported that her boilers are
burnt out and that it will be necessary to
send her to Europe for repairs before she
can be of any service.
