WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 27.-The
Chilian situation has vastly improved
since early yesterday afternoon. The
'ituation is now bright, and what pros
pect there was for war it is understood
is now dispelled. The first cable mes
sage received by the president from
Minister Egan was not in all respects
satisfactory.
1t was lacking fuliness, ,andthere were
many things in it requiring additional
elucidation. Another and later dis.
patch has been received and its con-
ents are such as to leave nothing for
Congress to do with regard to the
Presidents message. 1t not only con-
trims all that has been said in asso.
ciated press dispatches, but goes
turther and is couched in most friendly
erms. The charge OF hostile feeling

DIR. BAKER INTERVIEWED.

The COMET representative, in COM
pany with one or two friends, called on
DR.. Baker in his prison cell in the
forenoon. One hour and thirty min
Il es were spent in interesting conver-
sation with the prisoner. He greeted
us very pleasantly, and was loath to
have us depart, stating that if he
could stay in there for months we Ger
tainly could stay for little while.
Dr.. Baker is an affable man, and
knows how to entertain callers. He is
well read and talks fuently on any
subject that one may present. In hi-
conversation he quoted from Shake
speare and other learned sources. He
showed us many nice presents which
he has received since his incarceration
He reviewed much OF his history for
our entertainment, stating in the
course OF his remarks that he was the
Youngest OF fifteen children and had
been the pet of his parents and of the
family. AT the death of his parents
he was left with more property than
most young men and as he puts it,with
more property than a young man
ought to have for his own good, as q
general thing He passed through the
civil war as a soldier,snd remarks tnat
he heard the first ball that went over
ut Bunker's Hill and the last at Apo
mattox He related many interesting
experiences which he had during tht
war, among which was his correspon
dence with beautiful young lady.
"What is your age, doctor7" asked
the reporter.
II am now just So"
"But your beard, doctor, indicate
that you are an older man"
My hair was mixed with gray W Ell

While, as usual thing, the prisone
was jovial and in good spirits, occa
sionally he would grow pathetic. AM
on one occasion the tears tickle
down his cheeks
This was when he remarked-"I ca

R.TAYLoR,

DIR. w. H. Taylor, the white-haired
state chemist, is d favorite among the
people generally. He is very curte-
GUS and oblging old gentleman, and
there is view Of humor running
through his conversation, which makes
it always interesting and enjoyable.
Among some OF his expressions ut
tered in humorous way while in con
versation with the COMET representa-
tive are the following:
"Baker is the focus of wide spread
wave of misery
Fighting lawyers isa mighty poor
tonic"
"While it is a trial to DIR. Baker, it
is tribulation to me-"
'It's the most internal trial ! ever
knew" because it is forever going off
Fire broke out in residence Tues
day night. The chemist went to see
it. 1t was an extraordinarily cold
night, nut th9 old gentleman remark
ed that when he saw the fire had failed
to materialize, he grew suddenly
warm, He was anxious to see fire
but was disappointed. The fire CON
pany was so slow about reaching thu
spot, that DR. Taylor said the fir
vent out for want of sympathy. He
carries with him kodak, and although
the weather was very unpleasant thi
afternoon, he was out taking impres
sions here and there.

1t is said by those who have seen her
that she has been much reduced in
bodily strength and vigor, and that she
is careworn and growing prematurely
old. She is still resident of Gilmer's
home, watching over her children and
doing turns about the house.
There is rumor going the rounds
that she is again enceinte, although
nothing authentic has been adduced
on the subject. The matter has heen

ABINGDON, VA, Jan. 27.-It is now
very prob BILE that the case of DR..
Baker will be continued until the next
term OF court At any rate the pro-
ceedings will be in suspense until next
Monday.
The court convened this morning at
10 o'clock DR.. Baker was brought in
as usual, and Windham Gilmer made
it convenient to be on hand.
The counsel for the prosecution an
nounced that they We're ready to pro-
ceed with the case. The defense en-
tered a plea of not ready, on the
ground that Mrs. Annie Diggs, one of
the material witnesses was unable to
attend. The claim of her i'll health
was then open for testimony. Mrs
Diggs is a daughter OF Isaac Baker, a
brother of the prisoner, and her father
took The stand He testified that he
had been to see his daughter early in
the morning and that she was in the
bed and unable to attend the trial
Her illness he dates from Jan. Isl,
when he claims that she was taken
with the grippe The testimony alsc
goes to prove that she is also afflicted
with consumption, but her father had
no opiuion when she might be able tC
attend.
The reasons for and against continu
ing the case were discussed by the
coursel on both sides Judge Ware
stated that the case Of Mrs. Diggs' III
ness was open for further testimony
1t was agreed by the defense tc
send physician to pass upon thu
state OF the witness health, and ac
cordingly the court was adjourneC
over until tomorrow Thursday morn

IT was Judge Wards private opinion
that sufficient reasons would be showl
by the defense to cause continuanc
of the case until the next term o
court

THE INTEREST.

1t is now evident that the cases will
excite as mnch interest during the
new trial as it did in the first. The
people are just as anxious to hear Mrs
GIlmer's evidence repeated as they
were to hear it in the first place. DR.
Taylor will also be an interesting wit
ness, and will introduce several neN
features. am reliably informed thai
the defense has employed an expert
chemist who will appear in the trial
and testify as to symptoms OF arsenlcal
poisoning and other features adduced
by DR.. Taylor's analyses.
Hon. Frank S. Blair stated at the
dinner table today that the defense
would int oduce much new evidence
in the case and it is known thas the
prosecution has new witnesses.
Mr.. Blair is also of The opinion that
the new trial will be more extensive
and elaborate than the first To an
observer it is plain that neither side
will make any concessions, but the
case will be warmly contested.
