WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Another de-
mand for the recall Of Egan has been
made, this time by Arnold of Missouri,
Democratic member, and it is no se-
cret in Democratic quarters that the
political advisability of introducing a
resolution, providing tor an inquiry into
Minister Egan's conduct, is being dis
cussed. Republicans who have spoken
say such an investigation will be court
ed by Egan's friends as step which
will lead to his total vindication. The
preamble to Arnold's resolution, re-
questing the president to recall Egan,
says:
Whereas, Egan, by his general course
in giving asylum to the Chileans in the
late strife between the Congressional
andiBalmacedist parties, has rendered
himself obnoxious to that government
and alienated in a marked degree the
former friendship that the Chilean peo-
pie had for this government, and by
reason of the existing facts the unfor-
tunate attack by Chilean mob upon
American seamen occurred; and
Whereas, By reason of such attack
grave apprehension for a time existed
that this nation of 81, ,000, 900 people was
on the eve of war with about 2,500,00
unless ample apology and reparation
were made, which apprehensions arose
from the fact that the apology hourly
looked for did not reach congress and
the country 80 quickly as the presidents
message; but
Whereas, Said apology has arrived
and the president has informed congress,
and all fears Of the impending war are
at an end;
Therefore, in order that the public
tranquility may in the;future be better
assured, and the bonds of friendship
which ought to exist in all the republics
of the western hemisphere may be fur
ther cemented, regardless of the effect
upon political parties;
Resolved, That the president be re-
spectfully requested to recall said min
lister to Chile, to the end that re-
ciprocity of amicable relations may be
had and maintained between Chile and
the United States.
Arnold in an interview tonight said
he thought there was really never any
probability of hostilities between this
country and Chile. The apology of the
latter, coming as it did SO close on the
heels of the presidents message, he
would not say indicated duplicity on the
part of our government, but evinced
undue haste. That, however, was not
germane to the spirit OF the resolution
International courtesy demands, espe
cially in this case, the withdrawal of the
obnoxious minister.
Arnold's resolution was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.
LONDON. Feb. 1.-The Santiago CORE
spondent OF the Times, in dispatch, re
marks on the disappearance of one o
the grounds of complaint which thu
United States had against Chile, caused
by Secretary Blaine's recent dispatcl
showing that Minister Egan never in
formed the officials at Washington o
the important fact that he had received
safe conducts for the refugees who haS
sought asylum at the United States le
cation. This dispatch, the Times cor
respondent adds, caused considerable
surprise in Chile.
