THURSTON'S POSITION.
No Specific Charge Has Been Made
Against Him.

Washington, March 21.-As long as
the state department refuses to divulge
any specific charge that has been made
the ground for demanding Minister
Tnurston's recall beyond the authori-
tative but unofficial intimation that he
had given political information to the
press in advance of imparting TO the
state department., the Hawaiian repre-
sentative's friends claim that public
judgment should be suspended, partic-
ularly as he has had no opportunity to
state his side of the case. 1t is well
understood that the whole facts of the
case have not yet been disclosed.
Minister Thurston refuses to talk
with representatives of the press. but
his friends defend him warmly. They
publish the result of the conspirators
trials as he had to tell of an earth
quake or any other Hawaiian event of
interest 1t is claimed that Minister
Thurstons well known strained rela-
tions with Secretary Gresham must
have made him extraordinarily careful
in speaking Of matters under diplo-
matte consideration.
But while defending Mr.. Thurston,
there appears to be no one whose opin-
ions are entitled to respect who ad-
vances the idea that the secretary of
states has not absolutely authority to
dismiss diplomatic representative
who is personally offensive to him. and
II is reasonable to suppose that when a
country learns that its minister has
outlived his usefulness for friendly me-
gotiations it will substitute another in
his stead.

stead of the fifty-second. The Dem
ocrats had inserted an amendment pro-
viding that in the FayetteGreen dis
trict one Judge shall reside in Green
county An important amendment to
the tenth section was adopted. 1t pro-
vides that in districts having two judges
reserved law points shall be argued be-
fore both judges, and in case of dis
agreement, the decision of the Judge
who sits at the trial of the cause shall
be the judgment of the court, but in all
other cases the decision of the president
judge shall be the judgment Of the
court. The BILL as amended, passed Sec
ond reading.
There was some lively debate on the
bill to prohibit the pollution of streams

This amendment fell and with it the

SOUTH AMERICAN WARS.
Trouble Between Chile and Argentine
Republic viii Cause Complications.

San Fra lcisco. March 21.--A private
letter from Potosi, Peru, just received
in this city ontains the following:
War Is threatened between Chile and
the Argentine Republic which will
draw in Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador as
allies of Argentine against Chile. One
thing feared by the people here is that
Chile's first step will be to put heavy
body of troops into the centre of Boil
via, which can easily be done by the
railroad and thus step in between all
the allies and chastise each one sepa-
rately at leisure. Nobody here knows
just what will happen. but the outlook
just now Is cloudy.
Washington, March 2l.-Mr. McKen-
zie. the United States minister to Peru,
telegraphed the state department this
afternoon that after three days fight
ing an armistice had been arranged be-
tween the insurgents and the govern
ment troops, and that over a thousand
dead and wounded We're left lying in
the streets of Lima.
Later some sort of an agreement was
reached by the belligerants and peace
was restored. A provisional govern
ment now seems to be in power.

Her Politicians Think the Affair with

London. March 2l.--The Central News
correspondent in Madrid says;
THE leading politicians here are not
inclined to the idea of letting the ALI
anca affair result In n serious difference
between Spain and the United States.
The matter ought to be adjusted easily,
unless the United States insist upon
demands Injurious to Spain's dignity.
Spain Is most anxious to maintain the
friendship of the two countries, and
would even prefer to waive an over
close investigation and accept the
washington view rather than risk
quarrel. Some of the leading journals
argue in this spirit with a view to pre-
venting public Indignation in case the
government yield to the United States"
