Minister Egan at Washington,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Minister
Egan had an hours conference with
President Harrison at the White
House this morning in regard to the
relations between Chile and the
United States. Egan.delivered per-
sonal message from the president of
Chile to President Harrison, express
ing joy and satisfaction at the equit-
able adjustment of matters recently
in controversy. The conversation re-
lated principally to the riots in Val
paraiso in which the sailors of the
Baltimore were so badly treated. The
money paid by Chile in settlement of
that affair was in the form of letters
of credit on Paris. The distribution
of the award has been placed in the
hands ofthe secretary of the navy.
The claims under the treaty between
Chile and the United States, nego-
tiated by Egan, have been transferred
to the custody of Secretary Foster. 1t
is eminently satisfactory to the ad-
ministration and will be promptly
submitted to the senate for action.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l0.-The statis-

September has heen further depressed

has delayed picking. The low status
of the Alabama breadth is the result
of wet weather and INSULT

of young polls. Somewhat more
favorable influences in Mississippi
have given rise to more cheerful

late and unpromising from excessive
moisture through the season to

TO FOREIGNERS.
Some Advice About Your Duties Before
Voting Next Month.

To the Editor OF The Statesman
There Is an impression in the minds
of some of our citizens that foreigner
who has made declaration of inten-
tion to become citizen of the United
States will not be entitled to vote in
the approaching election unless he
shall have made such declaration six
months prior to said election. This
impression is entirely incorrect. The
foreigner must have resided one year
in this state, the last six months
thereof in the county in which he de-
sires to vote. He can make his declar-
alton at any time before the election,
but to save legal contests growing
out of the fact under the blum
dering registration law passed
by the late legislature, of laundering
fame, every voters right to vote is
apparently made to depend ON his
having registered some thirteen days
before the election, the foreigner
should make his declaration not later
than the 25th of this month.
70 substantiate the foregoing
quote from section 2, article vi of the
constitution, as follows:
Every male person of foreign birth,
subject to none of the foregoing dis
qualifications (Which are such as mi
norlty, idiocy, etc, who, at any time
before an election, shall have declared
his intention to become q citizen of
the United States, in accordance
with the federal naturalization
laws, and shall have re-
sided in this state one year
preceding such election, and the last
six months in the country in which
he offers to vote, shall also be deemed
qualified elector, and all electors
shall vote In the election precinct of
their residence"
1 omit the beginning and end of the
section, as irrelevant, but anyone can
examine the section In its connections.

Quite an audible smile at the expense OF

evenings since. The occasion was a fancy
dress ball given by the Crusus club. 1t
was understood that the members were to

toned at the door of the main salon to
announce to the company within the differ
ent characters * they entered.
Young CumSo, being the son of a mil

enjoyed the freedom of the club salons
and having been able to find no masquerade
dress quite up to his fancy he had con.

THE New York Press presents this
tariff picture:
England is great shoe making coun-
try. Massachusetts is great shoe max
ing state. In England, under free trade,
skilled employees in boot and shoe manu-
featuring establishments get Sc so per
week. In Massachusetts. under protec.
ton, the same class of workers get S1J
per week"
Proof of this statement would be much
more satisfactory than the Press. assur
aRce of its truth. But granting it, it is
strong argument in favor of free raw
materials, something to which the Press
is opp osed. There can be little doubt
that if hides were taxed instead of being
on the free list, the pay of the boot and
shoe operatives of Massachusetts would
be considerably lower than it is. The
more manufacturers must pay for their
materials. and the more active the COM
petition between them, the less the re-
ward OF labor.

Lamb GOnrd of Samara.

In IL book called THE Duke of Holstein's

lished in 1896, there is an account of curl
Gus vine product called the Lamb gourd, -
which runs as follows: In the neighhor
hood of Samara. Russia, there grows a
gourd which closely resembles lamb in
all its members. 1t changes place in grow
ing as far as the stalk will reach, and
wheresoeyer it turns the grass withers and
dies. This change of the gourd plant the
Muscovites call feeding They further
say that when it ripens the stalk withers,
and that the outward rind of the gourd is
then covered with sort of wool, which
they use instead of fur"
Scaliger also makes mention of the lamb
gourd, and says that it grows until the
grass fails and that it then dies for want of
nourishment. He also says that the wolf
is the only animal that will feed upon it

There are more democrats than repub-

The states in which the democrats out.
number the republicans have a msjority
of the electoral votes.
If all the democrats vote next fall fol
the democratic candidates the next presi,
dent and the next congress will be demo-
ocratic.
Ali the democrats will vote for the
democratic candidates unless factional
strife shall prevent. The republicans
cannot win the election from a united
democracy. because they have not votes
enough. But DIVIDED democracy NAV
lose sD election by dissension, breeding
revolt or indifference.
The condition of democratic success is
harmony. 1t is the duty of every demo-
crat to work for that and to make sacri-
fees for it if necessary
1t will be the duty of the national con-
vention to select candidates whose nomi
nation will unite the factions, put an end
to strife ard secure the whole democratic
vote.
That will make victory in November a

~ limited something about lis brilliant war

war under Stanton, says Alger is little
less than deserter. Gen. Alger makes
general denial. but that hardly fills the
bill. Mr.. Dana gives days and dates and
produces an order from Gen. Sheridan to
back up his charge. Gen. Alger must

About the first of that month Col
Alger applied for 10 days leave of alb.

and returned to his division commander,
Gen. Wesley Merritt. because of the &c

the return of his application for leave
disapproved, Col. Alger left his regimen,
and went to Washington without leave
There he procured detail on court m Ar :

This fact was reported to Gen Merritt
who returned it in turn to Gen. Sheridan
who brought the matter to the attenti %
of the war department, recommending
that Gen. Alger be dishonorably dis
charged from the service for being absent
without leave.
In consequence of that recommenda>
ton from Philip II. Sheridan, Col. Rus

service Sept 90. 1854.
The record does not read that he was

military career. After the war was oyer
