THE VAR oLoUD DISAPPEARING.

While the Gillian government has
conceded certain things to the demands
of the United States the reply is not
satisfactory. 1t is nevertheless suftlci-
ent to indicate that there will be no war
between the two countries. Chill re-
tracts the insults offered in Matta's
communications, withdraWs her request
for Egan's return to this country and
offers to submit the matter OF the
assault OF American sailors to q court Of
arbitration. The keynote OF President
Harrison's message was the demand for
an apology from Chill for the Valparaiso
affair. II Chill fatty refuses to give this
without a decision from other sources
it is probable that arbitration will fol
low. This has long been recognized as
q Fair means Of settling international
difficulties. That such a course should
follow in this instance is somewhat OK
asperating for the reason that the
Chllian government has not yet made a
direct defense against the charges OF the
United States government that Chlllan
soldiers and police were directly con-
cerned in the assault on the flag at
Valparaiso. The received have
been evasiye and unsatisfactory. The
Chilian government quite decided that
their curse of insolence had reached the
point where further delay was danger
Gus and if pressed it is likely that an
apology in full would be forthcoming
without resort to arbitration. The
American people will not, however,
favor hasty methods when there is a
possibility of saving the honor of the
flag without bloodshed.

BARON HIRscH is doing a remarkable
work in philanthropy in providing relief
for the suffering Jews of Russia. The
scale on which this work is being car
ried on SURPRISES any similar work in
that line, and is a gigantic enterprise in
every respect. His recent purchase Of
over 100000 acres of land in the
Argentine Republic is considered to be
his first great step in the fulfillment of
his plan to establish u colony for tho
Russian Jews, though he has given no
direct authority for this belief. This
territory of land is larger than many of
the smaller kingdoms of the world, and
is sufficiently large to afford n field of
settlement to all the Jews who have
been expelled from Russia. Baron
Hirsch evidently believes that this char
ity should be carried on with the same
liberality and energy with which he has
made his great fortune. Should he sue
coed, his name will be among the great
est and most successful ph~ilanthropists
in the history of the worlds charity.

HELENA TIE NORTHWEST CENTER.
Montana and Helena should be inter
ested in the announcement that the
Vanderbilts will be interested in the an
nouncement that the Vanderbilts will
push the Chicago & Northwestern lines
through from Casper, Wyoming, to Og-
den. Railroad men take it that this
movement means war between the Van
derbilts and Gould for the control OF
far western traffic and connections.
Gould and Huntington have never been
on friendly terms and if the Northwest
ern makes a connection with the South
ern Pacific at Ogden, the Vanderbilt
Huntington combination would control
an entire system from ocean to ocean.
The Utah & Northern being a part OF
the Gould system it is fair to assume
that the Vanderbilts, for two reasons,
will tap this northwestern country.
First, because the rapid development of
IN this country will naturally
attract new railroads for the transporta-
ton of traffic, and secondly, because, if
it is to be Wal to the knife between the
Vanderbilts and Gould, for transconti-
mental connections, the Vandarbilts will
doubtless work to cut off the business
of Gould's northern extension to the
Union Pacific system. .@:
Helena must be an objective point for
such a route. 1t is the railroad center
,f Montana and the northwest already,
and the certainty that the Burlington
system will reach this point, and that
the s~urveyorsof the Chicago, Milwaukee
Il St. Paul are in the Big Horn country,
should be sufficient proof that all the
great western lines are looking to Hell
en- as the central point for northwestern
connections. 1t is believed that within
the next five years all of these lines and
the Union Pacific will be carrying pas
sengers direct from Helena to Chicago

She liked Farry-a good looking, merry,
rattle Drained Bohemian. known to every
one she knew and q favorite with all. He
never bothered himself or her either,
about her professional advancement He
just liked her, and she liked him, and
would a hundred times rather have gone
off with that jolly party to an oyster spree
than have partaken of grand course din
ner at Delmonico's with John Gaskin. Oh,
dearl There was that trouble coming up
again! What would happen if they all
met at the stage door? The thought of it
made her feel quite sick.
When the curtain fell she rushed down
to her dressing room under the back of
the stage and began in mad haste chang
ing her clothes for the street. She was
only half dressed, when an unusual com
motion Of running and tramping overhead
attracted her attention. Presently anoth-
er girl thrust a pale face in at her door
and cried:
''Oh, Sylvial There's an awful TOW at
the back door and Harry Flicker is mixed
up in it,"
Hastily throwing a skirt around her and
dragging shawl over her shoulders she
ran up the steps. IN the wings 20 couple
of stage hands grasped and held her back
exclaiming excitedly: Don't jump out
there. There may be shooting. MIR. Flick
er is in trouble, ard'-
She was within ten feet of the stage
door, within perfect hearing Of the alterca-
ton there gong on, but could see nothing
of it, owing to an intercepting mass of
scenery The stage hands words were in
terrupted by the loud and angry voice of
an elderly man exclaiming:
LAS sure as my name is John Gaskin,
sir, Tll make you repent of your insolence,
you young puppy"'
.'You will?'' retorted another, younger,
and no doubt Harry's. 'Then add that to
the account"
With the words she heard the sound of q
blow; instantly upon it the crack of pis-
tol, an agonized cry, a heavy fall and the
Mortified ejaculation: Good Godi He has
killed himy'
With shrek Sylvia threw off the de-
tanning hands of the men and sprang for
ward to the entrance, screaming, Harry!

Somebody caught her as she fell, just as
the universe seemed to her to ee dissolving
in wild yell of laughter. When they had
dabbled some water in her face, and she
had recovered her senses, the manager said
warningly, but not unkindly:
Never try any more practical jokes,
Sylvia, All FOOLS Day or any other time
for they are like boomerangs, apt to come

And was it all trick, allt" she stam-
