Glove Reform Needed.

In the opinion Of those who closely
observe the doings df the followers OF
the fashions, the portion Of lady's
apparel which most needs TO be re-
formed is her glove. The fingers are
just long enough TO cripple the victim
by tying her digits together at tho sec.
ond joint. The hand, from the wrist
to the knucltles, is cruelty squeezed and
distorted out OF all shape or semblance
to human hand. Attached TO the por.
tion Of the wretched affair already de-
scribed is a great waste Of material
long enough to reach half way TO tho
elbow and wide enough to encirclc the
neck. This fiablU and useless part,
MORALLY offensive to the sight, invaria-
bly, wrinkles down about the wrist "a
complete the woaful demonstration OF
the enslavement Of humanity to tyran.
nical and senseless fashion.

SANTIAGO DE CHILI, Jan. 26.
The Chilian government has sent a
reply tothe ultimatum of the United
States. The reply is, in effect, as
follows: Chill agrees TO withdraw
the offensive note sent by Senior
Malta to all the Chilian ministers
abroad and acknowledges that lis
issuance was due to an error of
judgment. Chill also withdraws ia
request for the withdrawal of United
States Minister Egan. In addition
to this the Gillian government in
It's answer proposes that the affair
OF the attack on the Baltimore sail
ors in Valparaiso be submitted to
the arbitration Of some neutral
nation. If this proposition is rot
acceptable 10 the United States
government, the Chilian govern
ment suggests that the matter be
submitted to The decision of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
THE TELEGRAM TRUE.
AsHINGToN, D. c., Jan. &c.
1t transpired late this afternoon
that Minister Egan had commune
Gated TO the Secretary OF State the
reply of the Chilian government to
the note of Secretary Blaine Of the
, 2Ist iEstant, as was stated in the
dispatches here this morning from
Santiago. The general incre.
duli:y of the public regarding the
Santiago dispatches was due to the
:. fact that yesterday Mr.. Egan had
notified the department that the
Chilian government asked for two
or three days longer in which to
make its answer owing to
the absence of President Montt
at the springs above Santiago.
The statement of the contents of
the message in to-day's telegram is
said to be practically correct. Con-
versation with those acquainted
with the text of the note give the
impression that it was not salts
factory. No one who was in q
- position to know them would con.
sent TO discuss the terms Of the
reply.
