CHILL IN TROUBLE.
A Revolution May Result From the
 Presidential Election.

LIMA, Sept. 3-The latest reports from ChiH are to the effect that the registrars and election officials have re- solved to attend and take part in the meeting oi congress called for today for the purpose of determining who has been elected president. There is con. siderable anxiety ss to the result.
 The election recently held in Chili was one of the stormiest ever held in 8 country noted for stormy elections. -Senor Errazuriz. the editor of one of the leading newspapers in Chili, was the candidate of the conservatives. Senor Frederico Errazuriz has been a mem. Der of several Chilian cabinets and he is regarded as one of the most brilliant of the political leaders of South America. The candidate of the opposition was Senor Reyes. It was reported that Senor Errazuriz expended more than $4G0 ,000 in his scampaign. Senor Reyes, on the other hand, announced that he would not spend one cent. Before the election Reyes issued an address to the electors, in which he said that what he had amassed he should save for his children. He said that he was unal. terably opposed to spending money to satisfy the personal vanity involved in desire to become president. He an, nounced that he objected to the use oi large snms of money in the political campaign because if the practice con tinuad only wealthy men could hope te attain the higher offices. The election was very close ard the results will probably depend upon the returns re ceived ard the members elected from some of the most remote provinces o Chili. The Chilian congress decided definitely to determine who was elected president at meeting to be held Sun day, August 30. On account of tn, closeness of the vote it is feared that { revolution may be attempted no matter which candidate is triumphant. There is little talk of third or compromis' candidate.

Territorial Libral

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Chairnan Jones of the Democratic National committee has made public a letter to w. J. Bryan from Arthur Sewan, apparently dated July 25, at which time the Pop letter, which is exciting great deal of comment, reads as follows:
 My Dear MT. Bryan: In view of che action of the St. Louis convention I cannot refrain from giving you my thoughts on the situation. My ad- vices are that you have been nominated as candidate for president and MT. Watson for vice president. l also learn through the press dispatches that you are somewhat undecided whether you ought to accept or decline. Now desire to say to you with the utmost frankness and good feeling, that you must not allow any personal consid- eratfon for me to influence you in your action. I desire you to do just what you believe best for the success of the head of our ticket. The principles we are fighting for are so paramount to any personal consideration that the latter should not have any weight or influence whatever with your action.
 T cannot for a moment allow my self to be factor in any action on your part, that would in the slightest de- gree hazard the electoral vote fer you. With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, be- heve me, your sincere friend
 ARTHUR SEWALL.'

TIC Port RoynI Dock.

The delay in the docking of the battle
ship Indiana at Port Royal must be ex-
tremely annoying to those who went there
for the purpose of witnessing that opera
ton. 1t was first announced that the YES
sci would be locked on Thursday, but she
failed to reach Port Royal in time. Then
the date was fixed for Friday, and then
Saturday, and the Indiana is still outside
of the dry dock Unless the navy depart
ment can come nearer to meeting its en-
gagements than it has in the case of the
Indiana the people will begin TO lose con-
hdence in the new navy.
The Port Royal dry dock doesn't seem
to be just what it was intended to be. 1t
ought to have been constructed with a
capacity 40 accommodate at any high tide
any ship the navy is likely TO build The
Indiana has been waiting two days for a
tide sufficiently high to enable her to en-
ter the dock. If the country were at war
and there was urgent need for the Indiana
delay in docking the ship for such rea-
Il son would be regarded as an extremely
serious matter.
The Port Royal dock was constructed
with the view of accommodating the deep
est draft ships of the navy. The expert
ence the Indiana has had thus far seems
to Indicate that there has been blunder
somewhere. 1t is probable that in time
we shall have plenty OF battleships and
dry docks big enough to accommodate
them when they need to be docked for
repairs, but it is costing the country a
great deal of money for experiments.

A good story is told of Judge w. d.
Greer. a prominent lawyer of Paducah.
says the Paducah STANDARD. Once during
a visit to ST. Louis he had a severe at
tack of toothache. He sought a dentists
office and was met by a young man who
was scrupulously neat and clean. The lat
ter bowed suavely, and the judge began:
81 believe you profess to be able to ex-
tract teeth without pain?"
Yes, sir" was the reply "and if I
don't do it I'll refund your money
The judge was seated in the operating
chair and the last thing he remembers
was the dentist inserting a small tube in
his mouth. He got a dose of gas and be-
came unconscious. When he came to the
young man was under a table, his erst-
while spotless shirt and collar covered
with blood, and his clothes torn UP almost
beyond recognition. He was desperately
waving the judge off, saying all the
while: Get out of here! Get out of herep'
He seemed very anxious to have the
judge get out, but couldn't be induced to
leave his retreat from under the table
"Why, young man, what's the matter?'

anything I'm willing to pay for it,
The young man obtruded his head for
a moment, glanced reproachfullv about
at the demolished furniture and his own
sorry plight, wavered for a moment. and
then exclaimed: Pay hi! You get out
of herer'
1t seemed that the judge under the in
fluence of the gas had cleaned out the
establishment and the dentist didn't pet
the tooth either.

Mhy NIorgnn NNants war.

A few days ago the Morning News ex-
pressed the opinion that one reason why
some Of the senators and representatives
are so anxious for war is their belief that
it would fierce the country to a silver
basis. A Washington dispatch in the New
York Times quotes Senator Morgan as fol-
lows 1--WE want war with Spain. With
war on our hands. we should be obliged
to have more money, and in order to get
more money we should go at once to a
silver basis
We have no doubt that the leading free
silverites would gladly plunge the coun-
try into a war with Spain or any other
nation if they thought it would result
in silver monometallism. They appear to
have gone daft on that subject They
would sacrifice thousands Of lives and mil
lions of treasure in behalf of their 16 to
I idea. And yet it is by no means GER
tain that war with Spain would make
this a silver standard country. Such men
as Senator Morgan and other leading sill
verites think it would. but the people are
beginning to understand that they are not
safe men to follow. We shall not have a
war yet awhile, nor shall We have free
silver coinage. The people have too much
common sense to seek causeless war
or to want degraded currency.

If reports are to be credited, the Wo-
