Not Disposed to Mix In the Blaine arri-
son Squabble About Chile.
WASHINGTON, Feb 5-"Let Thorn fight
it out among themselves" This is the
attitude of the democratic majority Of
the house committee on foreign affairs
Us to the performances of President
Harrison and Secretary Blaine in the
Chilean matter. There are several res
olutions before the committee calling
for Investigations or the recall of Min
lister Egan, but they will be allowed to
slumber at present on the files. 1t
might be interesting to see how warmly
Speaker Reed, as the leader of the
minority, would take up the cudgels
for the administration which has so
steadily ignored him, but the possible
interest in such an exhibition is
thought to hardly justify bringing in a
resolution. Any action looking toward
the recall Of Minister Egan would be
out of the line of diplomatic prece-
dents and such a reflection upon the
president that it is not likely to be
taken without mature deliberation.
The president is charged with the APP
pontment of ministers, subject only to
confirmation by the senate, and an ex-
preston. by the house would be IN the
nature of an impertinence unless the
violation of trust by the minister were
a fragrant one. and it would be an i'm
p~ertinence which the president would
probably answer by paying no atten-
ton to the resolution.

THE GRANT
A Mares Nest That VIII startle tn
Donators Promised.

Donators Promised.
New YORK, Feb. 6-There is every
reason to predict the early dissolution
of the squabbling organization known
as the Grant Monument association.
The latest row was started by the
Cullis crowd when they tried to run
things to suit themselves on Monday.
Colonel Shepard was one of them, and
he sprung n plan to postpone the
awarding OF bids for the construction
of the granite base Of the monument
in order that his (tlie colonel's) crowd,
which is the same a, the Cullis crowd,
might have time To control a majority
OF the votes. The colonel carried his
point. Then the colonel introduced "A
resolution calling upon Governor
Flower to resign as ex-officio member
of the board OF trustees Tho members
of the board not in the deal broke out
with a big kick and n lively discussion
followed without conclusion.
Some of the members of the board
are opposed TO the petty squabbles
which have characterized the ~associa-
ton for the last two months, but IL
Governor Flower resigns, the eXecu
tive committee. controlled by the
Shepard and Cullis crowd, will have
the appointment of his successor. and
can do as they please. One of the
members, who is for peace, says that a
bill will be introduced in the legisla-
ture to wipe out the association
A gentleman formerly connected
with the association says that since its
organization six years ago the associa-
tion has raised less than 500, 900 of the
Sl55, 600 collected TO build the monu-
ment. The present plans for the mon
ument contemplate u structure to cost
$500, 600. During the last six months
scarcely $40, 900 has been raised, and
most of this came from Sunday school
entertainments and cheap shows.
A well known publisher, who has an
unauthorized claim against the asso-
citation, has instructed his attorney to
begin suit upon a matter leading into
the very heart of the association, and
has no hesitation in declaring that
there is a mares nest which will
startle the donators to the fund and
wind up the organization as it is at
praeapt
