CLAGGETT'S CHANCES
Senator Stewart Has Been Work

Vance and Gray May Make Minority Report
in Which Case the Democrats
May Vote for Him.

Cor. Of 18th and G SITS, n. w.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.
The Senate election committee will at
their meeting receive the report of the su b.
committee which has been considering the
evidence in the Claggett-Dubois contested
case. 1t is probable that a majority of the
members of the committee will adopt the
sub-committee's report, although there are
some indications now that Vance and Gray,
Democrats, may make minority report.
Senator Stewart is interesting himself in
Claggett's behalf. He is said personally to
have interviewed every Republican Sen
Rtor and to have tried to exact a promise
from them that they would vote to unseat
Dubois. l am assured, however, that none
Of the Republicans have given him any
announcement as yet, nor are they likely
TO. IL is very probable that if Vance and
Gray bring in minority report in Clag-
gett's favor the Democrats OF the Senate
may vote for him, but it is certain that he
viii not receive their undivided support.
There are some Of the Democratic Senators
who will take purely judicial view of the
matter without any partisan bias. There
is no thought however, but that Mr. Du-
oois viii retain his seat, although Claggett
is likely 20 get more substantial support
than was expected few weeks ago.

Pedro Mohtt RI,med

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.- The Herald's Santi-
ego cable says: The administration is not
feeling comfortable over the situation Of
the controversy between the United States
and Chile. Pedro Montt is blamed
in measure for misleading the
government here as TO the state
affairs. 1t is we'll known certain prominent
men advised the government some time ago
TO go slow in this trouble. but their advice
was not needed. The course pursued seems
to have been actuated by fear Of the radi-
Gals, among whom Malta is q central figure.
1t is rather ludicrous to note the change in
tone as regards Egan in Santiago and VAL
paralso newspapers.
L hePorrenir which hitherto has been
heaping abuse upon him is now full of the
most amiabe comments on the American
minister With other papers it is same
thing.

NATURAL FRUIT FlNoRs.
AME1assAssiZGn

That is the title the publishers hsve
given the work just issued from the
press under the name of the Ameri.
canized Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Amerioanized is based on the
original and ninth edition OF that
world-famed work, the Encyclopaedia
Britannica. The points Of difference
in the two works are: First, the Eng
glish edition, published all the way
from five to twenty years ago, has be-
come out of date. The Americanized
Encyclopedia Britannica has brought
every subject treated of in the original
work down to date, making it of more
practical use to the American reader
who isinterested in American subjects,
than the English work itself, which,
being compiled by Englishmen for the
use Of Englishmen, neglected Ameri-
can subjects, and in q great many
cases did not mention them at all.
Second-The English edition does
not mention the name Of any living
person, no matter how noted they
are. The Anericanized Encyclo-
padia Britannica moro than makes
this omission good by adding nearly
1000 new biographies of living men
and women; also including those re-
Gently deceased, whose names will be
handed down In history.
To illustrate the difference, the
English edition devotes over sir COL
umns to an English county, and but
three-qusrters Of column to an
American State. The Americanized
Encyclopedia Britannica reversed this
oroeF by giving the six columns Of
space to the American State and the
;hree-fourths Of column to the
English county.
You are mora interested about
American matters than you are about
English, aren't you? Well, il you look
up the English edition you will find
an exhaustive treatise on Birming-
ham, England, and wheD YOU lock for
Birmingham, Alabama, an Amerlc2n
city of over 10000 population, the
English edition DOESN'T even mention
it.
Well, it seems that the Encyclo.
pedia Britannica should be AMER
1cANIzED And that is just wig
the publishers have done. They hi
taken the Encyclopaedia Britannica L
pieces, as it were, and remodeled it for
the American reader, the whole work
being brought down to date.

AmericaniEed Encyclopedias Britain
