has been in any other consecutive two
weeks in the last ten years, with the
single exception of January, 1890, when
influenza was at its worst This ex-
cessive mortality is ascribed to the re-
cent fogs and low temperature. and
the deaths attributed directly to influ-
enc rose last week from nineteen
to thirty-seven. London had until
last week suffered comparatively little

So far have we gone in this matter
that we have got to fight or sacrifice

In the very face of this opposition

While the Chilians were trying to

government, lent his support to Balma-

to keep his nose and the nose of his

suit was that when the congressional
lists had won the fight. Pat Egan was
the most disliked man in Chilli. with
the posi- BILE exception of his friend Bal
maceda, and his country came in for
very large share of the same feeling.
T he assault on the Baltimore sailors
in Valparaiso was the one opportunity
the lingo statesmen of this administra-
ton had been asking for. They wanted
to pull their vigorous foreign policy ON
sonnet body or other and the opportunity
was at hand They grabbed it When
they had clustered and blowed. pulled
and stewed for awhile they discovered
that our lynching bee in New Orleans
was a par aljel case and that they were
sim ply aping the dago school of vigor-
Gus foreign policy. Then they set about
to Justify lynching in New Orleans and
to condemn shooting and stahbing in
Valparaiso. After telling Italy to go
to thunder for her indemnity these
vigorous statesmen demanded repara-
ton from Chilli The size, population,
wealth and fighting capacity of Chilli
made the bluff go
The very thing these lingo statesmen
should have done they failed to do. that
is, recall Pat Egan- Such a course
would have made it impossible for q

The Only Obstacle Between Harrison and
the Nomination.
The republican opposition to Harri-
SON has had no candidate in view ex-
cept Mr.. Blaine. In the hard work
he has been doing for his own renon-
ination Mr.. Harrison has found the
strong Blaine sentiment in the repub-
lican party the greatest obstacle in
his way. and in nominating Elkins for
the cabinet he played his last and
strongest card for the nomination He
had lost in his play for the control of
the New York delegation through the
election of Fassett for governor. After
Fassetts defeat the attempt of the
president to put the blame on Plstt
renewed the GOODNESS of that infiu-
| entail republican boss toward the adj
ministration- And though, by urging
congress to indorse Warner Miller's
Nicaragua canal bonds into some sort
of standing in Wall street, the presi-
dent endeavored to make new alliances
in New York, his chances for renom-
ination were diminishing mp to the
closing OF the deal which resulted in
the nomination of Elkins for secretary
of war.
This would not have been done ex-
cept as a last resort, for Eikins is too
notorious as jobber to be admitted
even to Harrison's cabinet except as
the result of forced deal His nomi-
nation means that arrangements have
been made to get Blaine out of the
way. With Blaine out and with such
