Mr.. Blaine according to the ordinary
methods. Briefly stated, Chill expresses
the deepest regret for the Baltimore out
rage, disclaims any hostile feelings to-
ward the uniform of the United States
navy, regrets the unavoidable delays
in the Gillian judicial examination, de-
clares its Willingness not TO await the
decision Of the examining Judge, and
submits ito the honorable Secretary of
State of the Department of Foreign Re-
lations of Washington the designation
of either the Supreme Court of Justice
of the United States or tribunal of
arbitration 10 determine the reparation
which Chilli will have TO make for
that lamentable occurrence" AS TO the
offensive Malta note to the Gillian Min
listers abroad, it disavows any intention
to inflict oifense, deplore5 the express
sions used and withdraws them. AS to
the request for the recall Of Minister
Egan, it says it will take no steps with
out the accord of the United States. In
making these concessions Chill evinces
a friendly and conciliatory spirit. After
the statement as to the Baltimore affair,
Minister Pereira says:
The undersigned trusts that this frank
and explicit declaration, which confirms
honorable Secretary OF State in Washing
ton, will carry to the mind of his EXcellency
Mr.. Harrison and his Government that the
people OF Chilli, far from entertaining a
feeling OF hostility, has the lively desire to
maintain nnalterable the good and cordial
relations which up to the pres INT time have
existed between the two countries-a dec
laration which is made without reserva-
ton, In order that Ii may receive such
publicity as your Government may deem
suit able
The people of the United States will
meet the people of Chill half way in this
direction. They have no feeling of hos
tility TO them and have not since the be-
ginning of this unfortunate trouble.
They have had no desire for war, as has
been shown by the extraordinary pa
thence of the Government when con-
fronted by an unusual and exasperating
delay in replying to its reasonable re-
quests. All that was insisted upon was
that the national honor should be pre-
served from insult, that the national
rights should not be invaded, and that
there should be respect and absolute
safety for American citizens wherever
they were.
The threatening war clouds have
rolled away at last and there will be
peace between the United States and
Chilli. This much is assured 1t will
not be strange after the long misunder-
standing If the future relations between
the two countries shall be closer and
more cordial than they have been in the
past. A complication of this kind some
times clears up the air. The contestants
get better acquainted with each other,
and when they resume relations they do
SO with better feelings and mutually
higher respect

Them for Two Years.
Miss Marguerite Palmer was found guilty
at Topeka, Kan, OF Obtaining money under
false pretensesI For two years Miss Palmer
has been the observed of all Observers. She
boarded at the leading hotel, gave theater
parties and swell dinners, which were the
talk of the town She wore diamonds
galore, and her entire appearance was
striking She announced that she had dis
covered new species of silk worm and
that she was sole agent for the eggs The
Kansas climate was just the thing to bring
about the best results The country news
papers devoted columns to her and the entire
State was exercised. Il. L. McCleliand, re-
tired merchant. was smitten by her charms
and offered o give her all the money neces =
sary. Ike was the silent member of tho
firm, and the business grew until nearly
every town in the State had sub-agencies.
The purchasers of eggs finally complain ed
that they would not hatch, and McClelland,
who had been putting more money In Miss
Palmer's hands, finally grew suspicious.
He hal a chemist examine the eggs, and
the testimony showed that they were moth =
ing but English mustard seed. The extent
of the swindling IS not known, but will run
way up into the thousands. One firm in
Wichita purchased $500 worth of seed and
another in Salina 1000.

ceived from Minister Egan, and, in con-
nection with the Montt and Blaine let
tiers, laid before Congress by the Presi-

transmitting the additional correspond

she implored her mother TO take her t. see
Freda, and said that she could lie down

SAN FRANCISCO SMALLPOX SCARE.

Addition tn the Colony.


Addition To the Colony.
Ii looks now as though majority OF the
500 Chinese cooped up at the quarantine
station on Angel Island, San Francisco,
will come down with the smallpox. 1t is
reported that there are thirty cases, al
though an official count gives only dozen.
This d sparity II due to the fact that the
Chinese conceal the presence of the disease
as long as possible as they dread medical
treatment by whites. The quarantine
officer refuses TO permit six customs officers,
at tho station to return TO the city, holding
that they would spread contagion. Mill
tary still maintain their dead-line and no
quarantined persons are allowed near Ii.
Six European passengers, who are confined
with the Chinese, are making great COM
plants over lack OF suitable accommods-
tions Another China steamer is expected,
and If smallpox be aboard the Pacific
Mail Company will have TO furnish hulk
as lazaret, as the quarantine station can
not accommodate any more.

DIR. d. NJ. Edwards, OF Fremont, Neb., has
engaged lawyers to establish his claim to n
largo quantity OF real estate, including
some Of the most valuable property In New
York City. Edwards says that he only
secured positive information OF the
legality of his title the other day.
He says that Robert Edwards. his
great grandfather, in 1870 emigrated from
Wales and secured forty acres on Manhat-
tan Island. He leased 1t TO the British
Government shortly afterward. When the
country's independence was recognized the
lease was transferred to the United States
for ninety nine years. The expiration Of the
lease was noticed by officials in Stanley,
Wales, where it was recorded. and resulted
in the heirs being looked up. New York
lawyers assert that If the title can be es-
tablished to the property described, its
value will be $3.50, 600. 00O
