prame court by President Grant.
WILL EGAN BE RECALLED?
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Will Min
lister Egan be recalled? The Chilean
government, through Minister Montt,
has practically asked his withdrawal
from that country. 1t was done. it is
said, as preliminary step to more
speedy and satisfactory adjustment of
the pending controversy. Such sug-
gestion, for it is only suggestion, is
Indignantly repudiated by the Harri-
son administration. What Chile's
purpose is can only be conjectered. 1t
is possible, knowing Mr.. Egan's I'M
popularity in the United States, it has
put forth the suggestion through
Senior Montt, hoping that public senti-
ment will force President Harrison to
adopt it, This being done, sixty or
ninety days would necessarily elapse
before his successor could reach San
tiago Thus delay of several months
in the settlement of the Valparaiso
incident might be effected. This is
the only reasonable theory advanced
for the suggestion, which reaches
Minister Montt today.
| MINISTER EGAN's RECALL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Star
has this: According to the last at
tainable information the foundation
for the change of opinion which rumor
has experienced from war to peace is
that Chile suggested to this country
about six weeks more time should be
allowed her within which to determ-
inc whether or not she should make
an apology. No promise of reparation
was made, but it is broadly asserted
that Chile will do what she thinks
is right, after having exhausted
her inquiries. 1t is said that Blaine
has regarded this as sufficient
to warrant delay on the part of this
country which was suggested, but the
president did not agree with him on
this point. If, as reported, the
Chilean government is about to ask
through Minister Montt for the recall
of Minister Egan, the request is not
likely to be granted. 1t can be said
that under no circumstances will
Egan be recalled while the relations
between the United States and Chile
are strained as at present. President
Harrison is entirely satisfied with
Egan's course as our representative,
and has stated this repeatedly in pri-

THE POSTMASTER EXPLAINS.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 21-Firs
Assistant Postmaster General Whit
field has received from Postmaster
Baird of Callahan county, Texas, an
explanation of the Confederate flag
incident. He says that at the time
the flag was said to have been flying
over the building in which the post
office is located, a county fair was in
progress. In consequence there was
a great demand for decorative pur-
poses and the supply of United States
flags became exhausted and the owner
of the building in which the postoffice
is located procured some bunting and
had flag made by his sister who had
only an imperfect knowledge of
how the United States flag is fash
Toned. Instead of thirteen stripes her
flag had only three, with nine stars
in blue field, but it was hoisted over
the postoffice building. Whitfield is
in possession of the affidavits of five
reputable people, who declare that on
several separate occasions they saw a
Confederate flag fl. ing over the build.
ing. Inasmuch as the postmaster de-
clares the flag was not made pur-
poseiy to resemble one, and expressed
deep regret, he is inclined to let the
incident pass.
THE CALL ISSUED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Dem
ocratic national committee issued a
formal call for the national Demo-
cratic convention on Tuesday, the DIST
day of June, 1892, at Chicago. The
usual representation is granted.
DECIDED BY THE CABINET.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-There are
really no new developments in re-
gard to the Chilean question except
the plan of action decided by the
president and his cabinet at a meet
ing this afternoon. 1t is generally
understood that the cabinet prac-
tically decided to submit the matter
to Congress early next week in order
that Congress as well as the country
at large might know the exact
status of the controversy be-
tween the United States and Chile.
1t is said the only addition to the cor
respondence submitted to the cabinet
today was cable message from Egan
saying that the Chilean government
