settling Old chlllan Claims.

WASHINGTON. Aug. lI.-Minister
Egan has definitely agreed with the
Chilian government upon convention
for the settlement OF the unadjusted
claims of the citizens of the United
States against Chill by means of a
claims commission to meet at. Washing
ton. This action chronicles a satisfac-
tory termination of a long-pending me-
gotiation. No general claims conven-
tion has heretofore ever been celebrated
with Chill, and the claims of American
citizens date back for more than half a
century, though a large portion have
their origin in the recent Chilian- Peru
Wan war. Much satisfaction is ex-
pressed by the state department.

PATTERSON, N. j., Aug. 1l.-Patrick
Quinn, Western Union operator at Della
ware station, who was shot by Hattie
Acres in the telegraph office, lies in the
hospital in this city in critical con-
dition. He has refused to make any
statement except to say he will not

to shoot him. He admits he had prom
ised to marry her and wronged her.
Miss Acres is in custody pending the re-
suit of Quinn's injuries. She denies
she attempted suicide after the
shooting, by poison. After firing the
two shots at Quinn, she handed him the
smoking pistol and told him to shoot
her, as che did not want to live. Miss
Acres is an attractive young woman, %
years of age, and belongs to n respect
able family of Cresco, Pa.

WAsHINeroN, Aug. Pit has been
determined by the navy department
who shall christen the cruiser Marble
head to be launched at Boston today.
The duty will devolve upon Mrs. Chas.
III. Allen, wife of one of the contractors
of the vessel. There has been some dis
pute as to the propriety of having mar
ried woman christen the vessel. The
usual custom has been to have the duty
performed by a young maiden, but in
view of the fact that the two naval ves-
sells, the Baltimore and Raleigh, were
christened by married ladies, precedents
are regarded as no longer binding.

Major Handbury Has Received a Little;
Light from Headquarters.
From the Oregonian,1
In reply to his note of inquiry to the
chief of engineers as TO the manner in
which the contract for work on the cas-
cades locks is TO be let, Major Hand
bury has been informed that the secre-
tarY of war has decided that the act re-
quires contracts to be entered into for
the completion of each work to which
they relate, and to the full amount of
the estimate upon which he,appropria
tion is based.
In the judgment of the department it
was The intention of congress to have the
entire work of improving the canal at
the cascades of the Columbia river adj
vertised at once, and so derive all the
benefit that could be obtained by the
successful contractors having the assur-
anee that he would hold the work to it's
completion. But while the whole work
is to be contracted for at one time, it is
not expected that the contractor will
anticipate the action of congress by per-
forming work in excess of the appropria-
tions that may be made from time to
time, unless he prefer TO do so. A pro-
jeet for the improvement, with specifi-
cations covering the entire work and the
order and time in which it should be
| done, is to be submitted.
The appropriation in the last river
ard harbor bill for the locks is 1926, ,250.
The amount that could be expended to
good advantage during the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1894, as estimated by
Major Handbury, is 81 AIS, ,250.
/ The clerks in Major Handbury's office
have been employed in preparing the
plans and specifications for the work,
fore they can be completed. 1t will
probably be necessary to advertise for
bids for about two months, as the work
is one of great magnitude and large
contractors from the east will wish t.
come here and look over the ground be-
fore submitting bids. They will alsc
require time to get bids from sub-con.
tractors for the gates, etc., before they
can bid inteIligently on this whole
work. The new eight-hour law will also
figure in the matter, and will probably
increase the cost of the work 90 pei
cent.
1t is not likely that the work on tbs
ilocks will be started up nearly SO soor
under the new arrangement as il
would under the old, but the greater
speed with which it will be pushed tx
1 completion is what is looked upon tx
/ count.
