Between Two Fires.
Wants Six Weeks Time.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 - The Star
says:
According to the best attainable in
formation, the foundation for the
change of opinion which rumor expert
enced from war to peace, is that Chill
suggested to this country that about six
weeks more time should be allowed her
within which to determine whether or
not she will make an apology.
No promise of reparation is made, but
it is broadly asserted that Chill will do
what she thinks is right after having ex-
hausted her inquiries. 1t is said that
Mr.. Blaine regarded this as sufficient to
warrant the delay on the part Of this
country, which was suggested, but that
the president did not agree with him on
this point
IL, as reported the Chilian govern
ment is about to ask through Minister
Montt for the recall of Minister Egan,
the request is not likely to be granted.
1t can be said that under no circum-
stances will Nh Egan be recalled while
the relations between the United States
and Chill are strained as at present.
President Harrison is entirely satisfied
with Mr.. Egau's course as our represen-
tative. and has stated this repeatedly in
private conversation.

Ell PAso, Tex, Jan, 20 Lieutenant
McCrea reached this city Friday en-
route from san Francisco to Washing
ton, having been called there by tele-
graphic orders from the government, to
report Gu the troubles with Chill. The
lieutenant is an officer of the Baltimore
who suffered indiguities at the hands Of
the Chiiians, To a reporter Lieutenant
McCrca said the only proper thing for
this country to do under existing circum-
stances is for the secretary to send an
ultimatum to Chill TO salute the United
States flag and pay indemnity, and in
case Of her refusal TO resort to measures
that win compel her to reply. The
lieutenant is very emphatic in express
ing his opinions of the wrongs perpe-
trated upon his crew, and denounces the
killing of the sailors of the Baltimore at
Valparaiso as cold-blooded murder.

REDSKINS STARVING.
Alleged to Have Been Mistreated by the
Indian Commissioner.


DULUTH, Ian. 25.-Some of the In
dams in the Fond du Lac reservation,
nea- here, have Just addressed letter to
Bishop McGohic {, the Catholic bishop
of the Duluth diocese, setting forth in
broken English, condition of affairs
that should call for instant relief. The
Indians claim that that are suffering
and that they have no provisions or
clothing to keep them from absolutely
freezing to death. They say there is no
use to call on the Indian commissioner
for help, for his agents and deputies
have been unlawfully cutting and sell
ing timber off their reservation, and
since they complained to him he has
been letting them starve. Bishop Nc
GolIick publishes letter calling on the
public for relief.

STILL CRITICAL.
Ehe Situation Between the
United States and Chilli.
An Immediate Categorical Answer
Has Been Demanded
Whether Chill VIII Favorably
Respond to Our Demands.

Refusal Can Have but One Meaning.
Minister Montt, Finding Himself De-
Iiberately Ignored, May withdraw
from the Countrywide CHILEAN Presi-
dent Harassed by Factions and ii Hounded
by Disconnected Politicians.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-The Recorders
| special from Washington says the ad-
ministrakion awaits a report from Minis
! ter Egan as to the intention of the Chill
ian government The minister has been
instructed to call upon the cabinet at
Santiago for an immediate categorical
answer to the question whether Chill
has any intention Of making favorohle
response to the demands Of the United
States, either now or at some, future
time. An answer to the demand is ex-
pected hourly, but up to Friday evening
nothing had been received,
Dispatches have come from Minister
! Egan, but none of them has conveyed
any information of nature to change
| the conditions of the controversy. A
| definite declaration of the Chilian gov
ernment, that if given time to allay
| feeling at home it will withdraw the Of
| fensiye Malta note and will make an
| apology to the United States for the
| Valparaiso outrage will be accepted by
our government in good faith, and every
opportunity will be afforded the dis
tracted republic to make goodits pledge.
A refusal to answer Egan's request one
way or another will have but one mean
ing.
In sending to Minister Egan its de-
the administration has deliberately ig-
nored the presence of Minister Montt as
the represe1 ative of the Santiago GOV
ernment The question is one Of so
much delicacy and the answer of the
Chilian government viii be 50 moment
tOus in its consequences that President
Harrison has thought it wise not to COM
plicate the situation by bringing in the
Chilian representative at Washington.
The situation is more critical than at
any previous period of the controversy.
May withdraw.
The cabinet would not be surprised if
Minister Montt, finding himself set aside
in the negotiations should conclude to
withdraw from the country. The action
of the administration was taken with
this possibility fully in view. The time
for diplomatic subterfuges has passed
and there will be no more delay for any
cause unless the Chiiian government
states definitely and at once its intention
to satisfy fully the demands of the
United States
Between Two Fires.
1t is known that President Montt is
harassed by factions, and is being
bounded by discontented politicians. /
The strength Of the congressionalists lies
entirely in the large cities like Valpa-
raiso and Santiago. The country dis
tricts are loyal to Balmaceda, and would
welcome an opportunity to incite re-
volt, and President Harrison has been
ready from the beginning to make allow /
ances for these conditions il the Santi- /
ago government would intimate in the |
most private way possible that internal /
discussions were entirely responsible for
the delay, but no intimation has been re-
ceived at any stage,

The election was O Democratic cNclone,

the length of this great Union and in no I'M
| certain tones has hoisted at top-mast the
names of Cleveland and Stevenson to keep
unfurled that banner, which means q govern.
ment of the people, for the people, and the
wiping out forever the idea of a centrali zed
power, while in it's stead planting in the soil
or our graud old union of States a white
mans government in the s~trictest sense OF
the word.
You must pardon the writer, Mr.. Editor,
for saying that he is proud of his old State
and its noble Democrats of the Stephen A.
Douglas type.
To-day a Stevenson rises up, unites the
clans, and bravely leading the advance
everywhere at the hottest and fiercest point,
contrasting every inch of ground-has won
the greatest battle of the age. Stevenson
will be our next President.
This much we say for the COURIER in ad.
vance, 1t is the oldest, staunch Demo,
cratic champion Of st. Landry.
Now for a local note or so.
The cotton picking season is about over for
this year in this locality. The crop was the
shortest-poorest in every respect grown for
years.
It seems to be understood that q majority
of the planters throughout this section OF
the country favor the Hatch bill, and will
send petitions to Congress to urge the pass
age of the bill all seem to think it will ben
eft the planter.
CANE GROWING
Is forcing its way into the minds of the
people who are beginning to learn the adj
vantage of diversified farming. There is no
doubt about it. Cane is the crop for South
ern Louisiana.
The bounty on sugar, and the Democracy
bosh; the bounty is all right, and why not.
The South and the West, now united, have
the majority. The sugar beet snd sorghum
for the West is of equal value to them that
the cane of the South is to Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Georgia and Texas. Then
don't fear. The bounty is solid. Cane grow
ing will increase and improve from year TO
year; new factories will spring like magic
from the ruins of the once palmy days of
the sold timer" will give way to be num-
bered in history only as a relic of the grand
old past.
The sweet potato crop is A | this year.
The Tubers are very fine and large. When
nicely baked and spread before one along
side of a dish of fresh pork, will bring a
smile to the face of a hungry man. Try it.
Owing to the dry season, we had in Sept.
and Oct. turnips have not matured so well.
From the same cause gardens nave not done

and bring garden truck forward. 1t will be
more abundant for home use.
