Vanderbilt's Victory.

New YORK, Jan. 29.-Judge Addison
Brown, in the United States district
court, handed down an opinion in favor
OF Frederick W. Vanderbilt, in the suit
brought by the collector of customs
against him to recover customs duties
ON the yacht Conqueror, as an imported
article. Judge Brown says that Mr..
Vanderbilt is entitled to possession of
the yacht, with costs and damages of
this suit. There is no law by which ships
or vessels can be held liable for customs
duties. Judge Brown holds that the
special provision exempting pleasure
yachts from the payment of tonnage
tax applies in the case of the Conqueror.

President Harrison's Conclusions.
First-That with regard to that as

ever made in the character given to it
by the first report of the event. to wit:
That it was an attack upon the uniform
of the navy Of the United States, which
had It's origin and motive in a feeling of
hostility towards that government, and
not in any act of the individual sailors
belonging to it,
Second-That the public authorities
Of Valparaiso evidently did not do their
duty in protecting those sailors, and that
part of the police and some Chilean
soldiers and sailors rendered themselves
guilty of unprovoked assaults ON the
sailors of the United States before and
after the latter We're arrested and that

BLAINE AND MONTr.
The Secretary Replies Vigorou Iy to
the Chilean Minister.

the Chilean Minister.
The correspondence opens with q
lengthy communication from Pedro
Montt, the Chilean minister at Wash
lngton, TO Secretary Blaine. under date
OF Jan %. In this communication Min
ister Montt asserts in respectful language
that the Chilean government has no data
authorizing it to think the Valparaiso
quarrel was due TO hostility to the
United States, and that his government
wanted to get at the truth of the matter.
The criminal trial at Valparaiso was
proceeding as rapidly as the custom Of
the country permitted, Senior Montt SAYS.
and he believes it will be clearly proven
that the affair WAS nothing worse than a
drunken row, which he and his govern
ment deeply deploresn The Chilean
minister defends the Malta note by say
ing the secretary should not take cog
nigance of it since it is not addressed to
tins government.

tary Blaine replies at length under date
of Jan. ~. The following extracts are
given:
You are right in saying that con-
sldered the proceedings of the govern
ment OF Chile in making the judicial in-
vestigatlon of the unhappy affair at Val
paralso entirely praiseworthy. But you
will remember that as early as the 25th
OF November | complained of the length
of the judicial proceedings, and from
time to time renewed the complaint.
You replied that the Spanish law was
slow IN its processes but exact in its con
illusions; and with your statements [
had to be content, though impatient for
final judgment
Your offer of arbitration was never
unconditional and exact Had it been
| would have insisted ON your reducing
it to writing, for it would have been my
duty to lay it before the president for
consideration.
The Malta note was highly dis
courteous to the president and the secre-
tary of the navy, imputing to them un
truth and insincerity. Such language
does not admit of conditional or con-
tingent apology, which you offered. 1t
could be apologized for only by frank
withdrawal.
Undoubtedly Chile has the right to
urge Mr.. Egan's recall, provided she
assigns a reason. You are too well
skilled in diplomatic usage TO be re-
minded that when nation is pleased to
declare that when minister is persona
non grata, she is expected TO assign a
reason therefor We have twice had
occasion TO ask Great Britain to recall
her minister. and in each case we gave

AMERICANS AND AMERICA,
Wonders at Home That Far Surpass
Those of Any Foreign Land.

Wonders at Home That Far Surpass
Those of Any Foreign Land.
Every year many thousands of I'M
American Americans go to Europe to
see scenery infinitely inferior to our
own, upon which they have never
looked. We say there are no ruins in
this country, and cross the ocean to ad-
mire crumbling piles less majestic and
less interesting than remain in Ameri-
ca We read of famous gorges and de-
files abroad and are eager to see them;
unknowing that in desolate corner of
the United States is the greatest nat
ural wonder of the world-a canyon in
which all the rest of the worlds famous
gorges could be lost forever. And not
one American in ten thousand has ever
looked upon its grandeur.
OF course, we know the Sahara, for
that it not American; but you will seek
far to find anyone who is familiar with
an American desert as absolute and as
fearful! We are aware of our giant
redwoods in California-the hugest
trees in the world-but did you ever
hear of petrifed forest covering thou
sands of acres? There is one such in
the United States, and many smaller
petrified forests. Do you know that in
one territory alone we have the ruins
of over fifteen hundred stone cities as
old as Columbus, and many of them
far older? Have you ever heard of
towns here whose houses are three-story
caves, hewn from the solid rock?
1t seems to me that when these and a
thousand other wonders are part of
America, we, who are Americans,
should be asham ed to know absolutely
nothing of them. If such things ex-
listed in England or Germany or
France, there would be countless books
and guides overlooking with informal
ton about them, and we would hasten
on excursions to them, or learn all that
reading would tell u.s. &C. f. Lummis,

Half the people in the world have

the excuse, and no more is known,

might readjust everything; but there
is no such talk, and each goes his way

misinterpreted; perhaps nothing We
all wish that one who is offended with
us would candidly state the reason. To
clasp hand in honest friendship one
day, and on the next receive distant
bow and a glance of mysterious re-
proach, is very hard and often very
cruel
1t is a great deal easier in this world
to take and give offense than to bestow
or receive goodwill and friendship.

The Wonders of Our Country.

If we would cease to depend so much
upon other countries for our models of
life and thought, we would have taken
the first step toward the Americanism
which should be, but is not, ours. We
read vast amount of the wonders of
foreign lands; but very few writer's
and still fewer reliable ones-tell us of
the marvellous secrets of our own.
Every intelligent youth knows that
there are boomerang throwers in Aus
tralia; but how many are aware that
there are thousands of natives in the
United States just as expert with the
magic club as are the bush-men? All
have read of the feats of the jugglers
of India; but how many know that
there are as good Indian jugglers with
in our own boundaries? How many
young Americans could say, when some
traveller recounted the exploits of the
famous snake-charmers of the Orient,
"Why, yes; we have tribes of Indians
in this country whose trained charmers
handle the deadliest snakes with i'm
punity," and go on to tell the facts in
the case? How many know that there
are Indians here who dwell in six-story
tenements of their own building? How
many know that Che last witch in the
United States did not go up in cruel
smoke above old Salem, but that there
is still within our borders vast do
main wherein witchcraft is fully be-
lieved in?-Charles f. Lummis, in St.

Suddenly they saw in the distance

themselves on board, while their late
