The so-Called Uitimatum.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The note which
the United States sent TO Chile last Fri.
day and to which an answer is expected
hourly, is: not, strictly speaking, an ulti,,
matum, az the Congress OF the United
States alone has the power To declare war
and an ultimatum precedes declaration
of war. It is, however, a note the purpose
of which cannot be misunderstood.
In the strongest possible terms it states
that diplomatic relations will cease unless
the offensive circular note sent out by
Senor Malta is withdrawn.
Furthermore the demand is made that
Chile Immediately make reparation for
the attack by the mob upon the Baltimore
sailors, and that she make an apology for
those attacks.
The note concludes with a refusal to
consider the request ior the recall of Mr..
Egan until weightier matters have been
settled, and with the announcement that
this country will wait no longer for an
answer to its demands.

nounce his positive withdrawal from the
Presidential contest, but that at the
urgent request of his most intimate

The reason giv.n for this decision is that
he is disguisted because he has not received

venture the New York delegation; and
that he realizes the hopelessness Of his

CT aracter in Fiction.

The creation of new character in the
world of fiction is as important in many
ways as the coming into real life of per-
son of conseo uence. The power of the lat
ter to do us good or harm while he lives
makes him more formidable than the
other, but after his death he takes his
chances with the creations of the poet and
the novelist. These creations are as real
to us in many cases and enter into our
lives rs infuentially as the men who have
lived and who are an unending perplexity
to the historian. There are some of them
who could be spared out of our literature,
indeed out of our social life, less easily
than many men who have lived and made
great stir in their generation.
To put the case very strongly and with
all the apparent advantage ON the side of
the real, VIII the Englishmen of 1910
rather give up Mr.. Pickwick than Mr..
Gladstone-sIppose either is to be dropped
out of the national possessions? 1t is true
that Hamlet has given the world of critics
almost as much trouble as Henry VIII has
given historians, but his case is eXcep-
tional. Speaking generally, the fictitious
character has the advantage of the real in
that he is not the prey of the biographer.
His life does not need to be constantly re-
written on tie discovery of new evidence
He has not to be exposed or whitewashed
or defended. As he was originally created
he is a constant quantity, a definite pat
tern to be followed or avoided, or, as it
may be, to be simply enjOyed.-Charles
Dudley Warner in Harper's.
