The Los Angeles team has already
been booked for first place by many ex

the matter of picking up talent, and if
his present combination is equal to the
one he captained in Portland last season
Los Angeles will be represented by q
very lively team that will give a good
account of itself.
It seems safe to predict that good ball
will be played all round, and the playing
of good games means a prosperous sea.

SANTIAGO SATISFIED.
Chilians Look Better in a Good
Frame of Mind

SANTIAGO DE CHILL, Jan. 30.-Late
on Thursday last very brief synopsis
of President HarriSon's second message
to the American congress relative to
Chili's position in the dispute
with the United States was received
here, and in a short time the news
spread through the city that there was
no further fear of war, the tenor of the
brief telegraphic reports showing that
the United States was willing to accept
Chili's apology. President Harrison's
first message caused great excitement
here, where its warlike utteranceS were
thoroughly discussed in the cafes and
other places of public resort, but the
second message caused revulSiOn of
feeling, and the people generally be-
came much calmer, and expressions of
satisfaction were heard that the dispute
had been amicably settled through di-
plomatic channels.
For the first time in four months the
CHILEAN press is publishing respectful
comments concerning Mr.. Egan. the
United States minister, and other
American officials who have heretofore
been the objects of many vituperative
attacks, and it is thought the CHILEAN
newspapers will he ncefOrth be more
circumspect in their utterance
regarding America and Americans.
Congress adjourned today. Several
members of the Gillian cabinet have
stated that the reason that the recall of
Mr.. Egan, the United States minister,
was requested last week was that
he had notified Secretary Blaine
that the CHILEAN government had
issued safe conduct for refugees
and had afterwards withdrawn it. The
newspapers here publish a dispatch
from Mr.. Blaine to Mr.. Egan. received
today, i'll which the United States secre-
tary of state says that Mr.. Egan had
never informed him that a safe conduct
had been issued for the refugees. Senior
Pereira, Chllian minister of foreign
affairs, has thanked Mr.. Egan warmly
for having given him copy of the dis
patch mentioned.
Mr.. Egan received tonight from Mr.
Blaine dispatch the import of which
is similar to that of the message sent to
congress by President Harrison on
Thursday. In this Mr. Blaine says that
the president is satisfied with
the withdrawal of Senior Matta's tee-
gram and the request for Mr. Egan'S
recall. aud hopes that the affair of the
attack on the Baltimore's men in Val
palaiso will be settled amicably. The
contents of this latter dispatch will be
conveyed TO Minister Pereira by Mr..
Egan Monday next.

REED AND RULES.
Neither Man Nor Measure Get
Much of Show.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-In the house
today Mr.. Reed, of Maine, asked unani-
nous consent of the house that during
the day members DESTROYS of in
PRODUCING bills might present
them e. to the speaker for ref

that the speaker did not regularly refer
bills during the Fifty-irst congress.
Mr.. Reed hoped that the gentleman did
not mean 10 insinuate that the present
speaker would follow the evil example.
Mr.. Walker, of Massachusetts,
thereupon demanded the regular
order, which was the considera-
ton of unfinished business = the
proposed code of rules. The speaker
stated that the rules had not been called
up for the reason that there was spe-
clal order for l O'Clock. But Mr.. Walker
still insisted, and Mr.. Catchings of Miss

AROUSED TO ACTION.
High Types of Battle Ships Are
NeRGIed

New YORK. Jan. 3O.-Naval Con-
structor Philip Hichborn. United
States navy, was at the Astor house to-
day. He said that there could be no
doubt of the fact that the
recent war scare had aroused
the people of the United States
to the urgent necessity Of providing for
the public defense. The temper of
congress favors an appropriation to
finish the construction work now under
way and to provide for the building of
two or three more war ships after the
style of the Oregon, Indiana and
Massachusetts. They are the high
est types of the modern battle ship.
They are larger, better armored and
more effective than either the Maine or
New York. They have large coal capaci-
ty, and that is just what the navy wants
There are in the navy now thirteen
monitors. do not believe that more
will be constructed. but it is certain that
congress will provide for overhauling
and fitting them out so as to make them
available, particularly for the defense
of S6aportS."

at 25 cents when Canadian vessels
would carry it for IL cents.
Senator Frye said we would be no
worse off than now when there were
100 and odd foreign vessels In our Pa
cific ports to eight American vessels.
Mr.. Thompson responded that that
was true, but If there was going TO be
revival of American shipping, the Great
lakes was the place to begin. Its YES
sci interests were large, and would be
enormous If they could get it to the
ocean during the five winter months
they were now idle. Firms OH
the lake had underbid the coast
firms for the construction Of
American war vdssels and the bids were
rejected, not because they were not re-
putable bidders, but solely because of
our treaty with Great Britain. The
Clyde would be nowhere in comparison
with the great lakes in ship-building
with access to the ocean. The tonnage
OF the Detroit river was now 1900, 900
tons more than the SueZ canal and 3,000.-
600 more than the clearances of London
and Liverpool. Returning to the
Effect of Waterways
on freight rates, Mr.. Thompson said
when the Erie canal is open the rail
roads put wheat rates from Chicago to
new Ork GOWN DelOW the cost OF uranS-
portation, to 81 cents a bushel. and
compelled many canal boats to tie up.
The day that winter conditions set in
the railroad rate jumped to IL cents.
Ex-State Senator George B. Sloan, of
New York, addressed himself to the
resolution of the waterways convention.
urging an appropriation of 100000 for
complete survey from the lakes to the
seaDoard. New York, he said, at a cost
of S2,000,000a year to its cities. furnished
free transportation through the Erie
canal to the Western States, and it was
a fact that within the last two years the
necessary state appropriations had been
barely squeezed through.
Gen. Poe, in charge of the engineer
ing works on the great lakes, said that
he had estimated $3,394.OO0 as the cost
of twenty -one-foot channel through
the lakes. The Hay lake channel and
the st. Clair flats, in improvements
which were now in progress, he re-
garded as simply so much in the direc-
ton of the entire project. 70 Mr..
Blanchard Gen. Poe stated that 500, 900
or perhaps 100000 would be needed the
first year if the committee authorized
contracts to be made for the work of
improving the great lakes.

Chilli Is Free to Use Her Own
Discretion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Specific in
quiries as to the truth of published
statements that this government has
taken the position that Chill must
salute our flag, elicit positive and au-
thoritative denialS of a most sweeping
character. No demand is made upon
Chill to salute the flag, and the stories
printed this morning as to alleged pro-
ceedingS in the cabinet meeting Of yes
terday on the whole subject OF Gillian
affairs are pronounced to be absolute
cOnjectureS and inventions. Secretary
Blaine sent cable to Minister Egan
this morning instructing him to
that its proposition for settle
ment of the difference between
the two governments made in response
to the ultimatum of the 21St Inst, are
satifying to the president of the United
States, as indicating good prospect
that the controversy can now be adj
justed on terms satisfactory to this gov
eminent 10y the usual diplomatic meth
DDS. The telegram makes no requests
or suggestion of any kind whatever
for salute by Chilli to the American
nag. mere was nOGHlnS Sdlu at y6Sl6T-
days cabinet meeting on this subject,
and there is no reason to believe that
this government will require such sa-
lutte from Chilli. At present no United
States maD-ot-war is in the harbor of
Valparaiso, but the Yorktown within
few days will return to that port,
and her appearance there is looked
forward to with intense inter-
est. The Yorktown is commanded by
Commander Evans, and it is explained
at the navy department that naval ETH
Quette does not require a salute to be
fired by men-of-war i'll the harbor to
anything less than an admiral's
flag, so that it would not be ar
act OF discourtesy If the Chill
ian men-of-war, on the return
of the Yorktown to Valparaiso, did not
salute the American flag on the York
town. 1t would, however, be regarded
as a graceful act, one showing that the
apology made by Chill was not at the
lannon's mouth, but a sincere act,
showing contrition and carrying with
it no ill-will to the flag of
the United States. Such an init
nation has probably been conveyed to
the Gillian government, and the man
ner in which they treat it will doubtless
have much to do with the smooth and
satisfactory conduct of the negotiations

ferenceS,
