WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-President Harri-
son to-day submitted to Congress the fol-
lowing message on the Chilian troubles:
To the Senate and House Of Re- resentatives:
In my annual message delivered to Con-
gress at the beginning of the present session,
after brief statement of the facts then in
the possession of this government touching
the assault in the streets of Valparaiso,
Chill. upon the sailors of the United States
steamship Baltimore. on the evening Of the
10th of October last. said: This govern
ment is now awaiting the result of an in
vestigation which has been conducted by
the criminal court at Valparaiso. 1t is re-
ported, unoffic icially, that the investigation
is about completed and it is expected that
the result will soon be communicated to
this government, together with some ade-
quate and satisfactory response to the note
by which the attention of Chill was called
to this incident If these just expectations
should be disappointed, or further needless
delay intervene, will, by special mes
sage, bring this matter again to the atten-
tion of Congress for such action as may be
necessary"
In my opinion the time has now come
when should lay before the Congress and
the country the correspondence between
this government and the governments of
Chill, from the time of the breaking out Of
the revolution against Balmaceda, together
with all other facts In the possession
of the executive department. relating to
this matter. The diplomatic correspond
ence is herewith transmitted. together
With anna correspondence between the
naval officers for the time in command in
Chilian waters and the Secretary of
the Navy, and also the evidence taken at
the Mare Island nsvy-yard since the ar
rival of the Baltimore at San Francisco.
do not deem il necessary in this COM
munication to attempt any full analysis of
the correspondence or of the evIdence. A
brief re-statement of the international
questions involved and of the reasons why
the responses of the Chilian governments
are unsatisfactory is all that deem neees-
sary.
TRIBUTE TO MINISTER EGAN.

1t is worth while also. at the beginning,
to say that the right of Mr.. Egan to give
shelter IN the legation to certain adhercnts
of the Balmacedan government who ap.
piled to him for asylum has not
been denied by the Chiiian author
ities. nor has any demand been mads
for the surrender Of these refugees. That
there was urgent need of asylum is shown
by Mr.. Egan's note Of Aug. "a, 1891, describ-
ing the disorders that prevailed in SAM
tisgo and in the evidence of Captain
Schley as TO the pillage and violence that
prevailed at Valparaiso. The correspond
ence discloses. however, that the request
of Mr.. Egan for a safe conduct from the
country. in behalf of these refugees, was
denied. The precedents cited by him In the
correspondence. particularly in case of the
revolution in Peru IN 1866, did not leave the
Gillian government in a position TO deny
the right of asy lum to political refugees
and seemed very clearly to support Mr..
Egan's contention that . safe conduct to
neutral territory was q necessary and
acknowledged incident of the asylum.
These refugees have very recently. without
formal safe conduct. but by the acquies-
cence of the Chilian authorities. been
placed on board the Yorktown and are now
being conveyed to Callao. Peru.

A suIking sister.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-There is some
dissatisfaction in the Washington delega
tion in congress with the present ad
ministration. Nothing is said aloud nor
for publication, but it is evident that the
members of the delegation, without
specifying any particular man, are not
very well satisfied with the treatment
which has been accorded Washington by
The administration in most matters. The
appointment of the circuit judge prob
ably did more to stir up this feeling than
anything else that has happened lately,
because the members of the delegation
expected aud hoped they would secure
the judgesh.p, especially as the state of
Oregon had all along been more highly
favorored in appointments than Washing
ton. 1t Is set forth that Oregon has a
minister to Turkey, judge in Alaska
and collector of internal revenues for
the District of Oregon and Washington; !;
that Washington has larger Republican
vote than Oregon, and when theiappoint
ment of a circuit judge was TO be made,
IN order to even the difference up be-
tween the states in the matter cf patron
age, that the circuit judge should have
been given to Washington. A statement
in New York paper this morning indl-
Gates the senators, with others in their
state. will endeavor to secure the election
of delegation which will not be for
Harrison, but will be ready to go to any
man who will present claims with a
possibility of success before the conven-
ton and in the election.

he Berlin Rio

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-Desplte the quiet
aspect of the streets this morning and
afternoon, apprehensions were felt for
the evening. The situation seemed to be
under the absolute control of the police
until nightfall, when rowdyism was re
newed by tussle with the authorities.
The first encounter occurred at the
Haeckesche market, where a noisy mob
assembled, consisting of young working
men, probably excited with beer and
and consisting largely of most of the
rowdy element in Berlin. The patrols
became so blocked in the masses of the
crowd that they sent for re Inducements.
Then they charged the mob with sabres
drawn, driving them toward Noue Fred
erich strasse and Orainenbepger strasse.
Several thousand rioters, thus separated
by the police tactics, reassembled later
In the streets IN the noIther quarter and
Rosenthaler strasse became the next
focus for rIoting. The position at 8
o'clock appeared critical. A great mass
of people assembled in groups, listening
to socialist speakers, who violently de-
nounced the government, the police,
and everything comprising the existing
order of things. The police made an
other charge and repeated it again and
again, but the crowd, after giving way a
little at each charge, reclesed ranks and
fought the police with desperate energy,
using as weapons sticks, stones, heavy
billets of wood and anything they could
Law hands upou.

The Kaisers Daring.

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-The full force of
police is on duty, and troops are guard
ing the public buildings The emperor,
accompanied by single aide de camp,
and proceeded only by two mounted po-
licemen, left the palace this afternoon on
horseback, passed at leisurely ace
through the Unter Den Linden, and re-
turned to the palace as he had come. He
was cheered by some of the crowd along
the route. A Gordon of military and
police were drawn around the castle, pre-
venting any person not recognized Off
cially Ey the authorities from approach
ing within 300 yards. During the day a
number of beer shops were looted by the
mob, who carried red flags. The kaiser
returned to the Schloss from his ride
about 4 o'clock. The people generally
cheered him as the had done In the
Thiergarten, and he replied by smile of
recognition. He was pale, as he is natur-
ally always pale, except when in the flush
OF excessive exercise or indulgence and
those who have studied his countenance,
in the face of the exciting events of yes
terday on the subject of ordering out the
garrison. he replied: "When the soldiers
go, I will lead them" This he
uttered IN tone OF decision, which put a
stop to further inquiry and carried the
conviction to the military that the army
would be used only as last resort, and
he would expose his troops to no danger
that he was not willing to face himself.
No one doubts the personal courage of
the kaiser any more than that of hIs
father snd mother. The general opinion
is that he would show himself on occa-
sion, brave, even to rashness, and would
not hesitate to play, as he once said,
King Richard to the people. His riding
today almost unattended is mentioned as
showing both his courage and his faith in
the attachment of the people to his house.

A Marrow Escaps.

The long railway trestle, just west of the
Umatilla house, while faYorite resort is
not the safest place for Sunday afternoon
ramble as was experienced by two young
ladies and a gentleman Sunday afternoon.
The party consisted of tho Misses Grace and
Nellie Michel and Mr.. John Q. Hertz, and
on reaching about the center of the danger
GUS walk the shrill whistle of an engine
warned them of an approaching train. 1t
was impossible to retrace their steps and
the appearance OF the locomotive at the
west approach cut off all hope Of escape in
that direction. The young ladies however
were equal to the emergency and with their
escort climbed out upon the protuding ends
of the timbers at the side of the rail and
there held on like grim death while the
train dashed by almost over them, and they
had chance to regain terra firma. Several
accidents have occurred to persons seeking
to walk this trestle and probably more will
result unless proper steps are taken to pre-.
vent the use of the dangerous structure by
pedestrians.

Sherman County Politics.

The Sherman county Republican central
committee last week made the following ap-
portionment OF delegates to the county con-
ventlon, which will be held March 26th:
Grass Valley 6, Wasco 5, Moro 4. Grants 3.
Kent 3, Bigelow 2, Rutledge 2-total 20.
E. B. Leslie, the present incumbent, will
be the Democratic nominee for sheriff at the
coming election. Among Republicans for
the same Office the names Of A. B. Wooley,
w, B. Mccoy and w. M. Reynolds are
mentioned.
S. s. Hayes and @. A. Heath are spoken
of as possible candidates for county clerk.
v. G. Brock, the present clerk, will also
probably be in the field, but it is being
limited that he has other political asplra-
tlons.
Hiram Tyrel and Professor Dunn will
probably be opponents on the two tickets
for school superintendent.

eral offices, will likely make the fight for
county judge.

Afraid OF Assassination.

SAN SALVADOR, Feb. 29--It is stated
here with great positlveness that General
Reina Barrios, who some time ago re-
turned from San Francisco, CAL. to run
as a candidate for the presidency, is a
prisoner in a hotel. where he has been
stopping with his family. President
Bsrri!las. it is alleged, caused rumors to
be spread to the effect that Barrlos and
powerful enemies were planning to assas
sinate him. To protect him from this
danger the president is maintaining q
constant guard of troops around the hotel.
General Barrios' wife, who is an Ameri-
can woman, is half crazed through fear
that be will be murdered. Colonel Lima,
who, as alleged, failed to carry out
Barrlllas' orders to start the pretended
revolt which was to be attributed to
General Enriquez and thus afford pre-
text for killing the latter, has. it Is said,
been whipped to death in the peniten-
tiary. President Barrillas, it Is said, is
frightened by the idea that he will be
poisoned.

Dufur Dispatch: At the farm of Brazi
Savage, at Wamic, may be seen yellow
Newton Pippin apples, grown in 1890, and
kept In common cellar, and it speaks well
| for the keeping of fruit grown on a high
elevation. Mr. s. raised some of the largest
onions ever grown in Oregon; one weighed
81 pounds; large number oyer IL; he also
raised cabbage weighing oyer 40 pounds.
All the wheat grown on his tarm averaged
30 bushels per acre; and fruit and vege.
tables grew to compare with those of any
part of the county, on the high prairies of
Wamic and Juniper Flat, and it only needs
railroad to make it a rich country. A
good road up Tygh hill will make it possi-
BILE for the farmers of that section to haul
their produce to The Dalles market.
Condor Globe: After dilgent search,
Sheriff Wilson and Deputy johnson re-
turned home the latter part of last week
without the slippery West. The sheriff has
made arrangements along the different
railroad lines, whereby it will be almost
impossible for West to get out of the coun-
try without detection. He may keep hid
for week or so, but he can't keep up that
lick very long. 1t Is strange that some of
our exchanses-even IN this county, that
ought to know better-Rre trying to stir up
little sensation by giving false accounts of
Vests escape, even stating that his arrest
was for the "unromantic crime of robbng a
sheep camp" 1t was not for robbing a
sheep camp. The complaint was for rob-
bing sheep herder of about $50 while at
Condor. Whether West was assisted by
outside parties or not to escape, he escaped,
and that's all there is to 1t until ne is cap
tured again, which we think will be before
long,

Under Control of the Army.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The house Of
representatives, in the interest of legiti-
mate economy, today inserted In the
Indian bill an amendment doing away
with Indian agents and placing the
Indians under the control of the army
officers, without any provision being
made to properly make this innovation.
1t is question of very doubtful ex-
pediency and may result in serious diff
fculties. There Is no doubt the Indian
service should be reformed, and that as
political machine in the hands of either
party it has worked a great deal of
trouble, bnt whether or not 1t would be
best 10 turn the Indian agencies over to
the army officers and then still retain the
Indian matters under the control of the
secretary of the interior, is one of those
doubtful propositions which needs more
consideration than was given the matter
in the house today. Representative Will
son made pretty good point upon this
amendment by showing that Holman, of
Indiana, the distinguished economist of
the present house, went with commits
sion of congress through the various
agencies of the United States with view
of seeing whether it was not advisable to
consolidate the agencies, and thus reduce
the number of agents, and consequently
reduce the expense. He said this com
mission never made any report and sub
mItted only mass of testimony supposed
to have been taken in a Pullman palace
car. He further intimated that good
way for congress to begin the reduction
of expenses was to fix up matters at the
Puyallup agency, pay the Indians for
their lands and allow the city of Tacoma
to grow as it naturally would, abolish
the agency, make the Indians citizens
and wipe out what was left of the gov
ernment tribal control. The suggestions
Of those who opposed the amendment did
not seem to meet with. much favor
among the Democrats, who were willing
to do anything in the interest of econo-

BehrIng sea Controversy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Negotiations
between the United states and Great
Britain, looking to the submission to ar
bitration of the controversy between the
two countries in the Behring sea seal
fisheries, reached favorable conclusion
today. Pauncefote, the British minister,
signed a treaty today of arbitration on
behalf of Great Britain. He said he was
fully authorized by Lord Salisbury 10
take this action. Blaine signed the doc.
ument in behalf of this government, and
the matter is consummated so far as the
diplomatic part of the business Is con-
cerned. The treaty Is still subject, how
ever, TO the action of the British parlia-
ment and the United States senate. The
exact terms of the treaty cannot now be
stated, but 1t Is known that the board of
arbitration will consist of seven persons,
two representing the United States, two
Great Britain, one of whom is to be a
Canadian, and one each representing the
neutral governments of France, Sweden
and Italy.

The Harrison onposition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Work is being
done in other states ulder the cover of
Blaine's name, and the favorte-son
racket is being worked against President
Harrison, yet it is almost a sure thing
that Harrison will be renominated, al
though the men who are against his re-
nomination are very positive In their
statements that he cannot be elected.
There is an under-current among large
number of these people, who are against
Harrison, never were, and are not now
in much favor of Blaine, that Governor
Mckinley, of Ohio, will make the most
available presidential candidate, if any
considerable opposition is developed to
President Harrison's denomination. This
talk about Mckinley ls growing, and it
would not be strange if he should be
brought out by the Republicans who are
looking for winning candidate, and
who may not wish to undertake to carry
through the president against a protest
of many leading Republicans.

A Crime Broughr to Light.

SEATTLE, Feb. 25.--The evidences of a
horrible murder have been found at
Franklin. AS man and dog we're pass
ing along the county road, running east
from the Oregon Improvement saloon.
this morning, the dog unearthed mans
foot sawed off above the ankle. A search
revealed hand and arm, the arm sawed
off below the elbow and the hand
chopped off above the wrist. All the
pieces were somewhat decomposed, and
seemed to have been skinned. 1t is i'm
possible to determine whether they be-
longed to white man or a negro. A
search made for the rest of the body was
frultless, but Justice Todd is continuing
work on the case. No resident of the
place is missing, and the only theory OF
the identity of the remains is that they
belonged to peddler who was at Frank
lin ten days ago. He went to Black Dia
mond, three miles distant. and has been
traced short distance further, but the
trace of him there ends.
A Ravlns Maniac Robbed by Tramps.
UMATILLA, Or. Feb. ga pltiful
specimen of humanity was taken to Pen
dleton this evening, raving maniac, the
result of exposure and starvation. A
man about 40 years of age hobbled into
town yesterday, almost NAKED, his bare
feet bruised and bis eyes glazing. 1t
was some time before he could talk, but
finally said his name was Harry Flynn,
and that he had been sheepherding in the
John Day country. He started to town,
was robbed of his money and clothes by
