CHILLI IS VERY FRIENDLY.

conclusion to the long negotiations for
the rehabilitation of the CHILEAN claim

by limitation nearly two years ago. with
out completing its laborS. and it is under
stood that the commission will assemble
here. next October. and consider the re-
naming cases, of which II are American
claims against Chilli. and two including
that for the capture and detention of the

United States.
These constitute. today. the sole causes
for friction between the two countries
which have been notably cordial in the
profession of friendship, the past year.
and it is believed that the settlement will
dispose of any lingering luminosity which
resulted from the Baltimore affair and
other incidents which led the Chilans to
the verge of war with this country
The present visit of Admiral Beardslee
in the flagship Philadelphia to Valparaiso
is thought to have contributed consider
ably to this result.

The nomination by the Russian EN-
peror of NJ. Shishkin as the successor of
Prince Lebanon. of the office of the Rus
sian minister of foreign affairs, with
Count Mura Vieff as coadjuatOr has
greatly darkened the outlook from the
Dreibund point of view. Count Mura
Nieff was at one time secretary of the
Russian embassy in Berlin, and is known
to be an intense partisan of France and
a pronounced Germanophobe.
Commenting upon his appointment as
an active Russian foreign minister, the
Volkszeitung declares that it will drive
the wedge which will bring about dual
alliance, II such thing can be accom-
plished. Germany, the paper adds. will
find her present support of the policy of
Russia in the East a great mistake and
she by all means ought rather to turn
toward England.

In view of these semi-offcial utterances

that the Austrian government fears the
further developments of the situation and
is sending Count Goluchowski here to as

The export of German raw sugar to the
United States has assumed enormous
proportions in the past year. From jan
uary to November, the totals were 2,3g7,-

l54 in 1895. and 675057 In 1884. The raw
sugar exports to England during these
periods have largely fallen on.
All the German states have approyed
the sentiment expressed in the recent
edict of the Emperor in regard to duel

Majesty's suggestions in regard to the re-
ferrinS of disputes to courts-Uf honor in

DREIBUND'S LIFE
The Source of Much Worri-
ment to Austria.
New Military Armament and Eastern
Question the Cause.
Sends Envoy 10 Learn Germany's Exact Stand
in Case Of Trouble.

Berlin, Jan. 10.-Count Goluchowski,
the Austrian minister of foreign affairs,
will arrive in Berlin, Jan. II. The
ostensible object or his coming is to
take part in a meeting of the members
of the German Order of the Red Eagle,
but it is known that the purpose of his
Prince Hohenlohe, the Imperial
chancellor, upon matters affecting the
position Of Austria in the Dreibund.
The radical changes in the artillery
arm of the German military service,
which it is the intention of the gov
eminent to effect, if the assent of the
Reichstag to proposals for that purpose
can be obtained, will necessitate the
pursuit of a similar policy in the army
of Austro-H Hungary involving an esti-
mated expenditure of at least $4,000, 900
forms.
If, as the result of conference of the
Emperor, Count Golunchowski and
Prince Hohenlohe, the Kaiser should
advise simultaneous reforms in the
armies of the Powers signatory to the
Dreibund, it will be a question as to
how far in that direction Austria will
be able to assent, and it will be a mat
ter of still greater doubt as to whether
Italy will he able to meet the expense
the reforms required will entail.
Despite its Importance from every
point of view. the question of new
ornaments is a matter of minor con-
sideration compared with the crisis in
the international relations of the Ore
ibund powers arising from the policy
of Russia in regard to Turkey. No
body, not even the diplomats them
selves, knows what will be the result of
the conference of the ambassadors in
Constantinople.
Baron De Calico. Austria ambassador
to Turkey, who by the reason of his

corps, presides at the conference, but
does not appear to send reports of the
proceedings of the meetings to Count

justified in regarding as of a comfort
ing character, and it is understood
that the Austrian government desires

Gov. Davis has been in imperfect
health for several years; within the
past few months he has suffered in

GUS disorders with persistent courage
Still he continued to fail, and his death
came as announced.
To his most intimate associates his
breakdown was not surprising; they
knew that after his almost Herculean
laborS, (Which often were begun before
light in the morning and continued till
into the nighD, even his splendid man
mood could not long endure.
At o'clock on Friday afternoon Gov.
Davis was found to be in a critical con-
dition. He soon became unconscious.
and, although two physicians labored
over him all night, he never revived,
expiring at 10 minutes of o'clock on
Saturday morning.
The doctors said that his nervous
system was shattered and that his
death came at the end of a general
collapse.
The Hon. Daniel Franklin Davis was
a native of Maine. He was born at
Freedom. Waldo county, on the 18th
day of September, 1S43 the second child
and oldest son of the Rev. Moses
Franklin and Mary (French Davis.
Mr.. Davis was minister of the Chris
tan church, and had charge of several
small societies of that faith and order
at and near Freedom. He had been a
preacher from the age Of 10, and re-
manned such to the day of his death in
March, 1874.
He was one of the pioneers and lead
ers in the Christian church in Eastern
Maine. He was of English descent, his
progenitor in America, ColoneI James

descendants settled largely in that
state and in Massachusetts. The

Massachusetts, bay. She was a resident
of East Corinth in Maine.
Daniel F. Davis was trained in the
common schools, mainly in Stetson, to
which town his father removed in 1854;
he also received instructions at home,
where his father. who had been a
teacher, assisted by the mother, gave
him valuable instruction. He kept up
his studies also while at work on the
farm, in which he had to engage much
at home and elsewhere, as the family
were in Straitened financial circum-
stances. He affected an entrance into
the academy at East Corinth in 1863,
but had been there but a few weeks
when he left school to join company
of troops for the Civil war; then being
raised at his old home.
He enlisted as private soldier on
October Is, 1863, and served until
January, 1865, at the close of the war
He had kept up his studies to some eX-
tent in camp, and now entered the
academy at East Corinth, where he was
a pupil for about year, interrupting
his course only to teach school himself
in winter. He then attended at the
Kent's Hill seminary for about a year
and nalf, teaching again winters. He
had also during this time some very
private instruction under
Professor Sawyer of the Corinth
academy. f
In the winter of 1SG7-6S Mr. Davis be-
gan to read law with the Hon. Lewis
Barker, then resident of Stetson, and
was admitted to the bar Of the State

A SUPERINTENDENT KILLED.
Minonk, Illinois, Scene of Fierce Labor
Riot.

Putiac, Ills, June 8.-A serious labor
riot occurred at Minonk today. The coal
miners there have been on strike since
May 1. During the last week few men
have been working against the wishes of
the majority. Today while Superin-
tendent A. W. Morgan and one of the
bosses, Joseph Erbeland were escorting
one of the men to work, crowd of
miners interfered. A fight ensued and
Morgan and Erbeland commenced to
shoot, instantly killing young married
miner named John Welostai, and wound
ing another. This so enraged the miners
that they attacked Morgan and Erbeland
with clubs and stones and beat them bad
ly. The death of Superintendent A. w.
Morgan which occurred late this after
noon apparently satisfied the desire for
revenge on the part of the strikers. No
further trouble Is now apprehended.

MAKING A HERO OF JERRY

when they learned that he was to serve
out his sentence in Salem instead of in
this city as was previously announced.
The vast assemblage was composed most
ly of O'Sullivan's followers who gathered
to show their friendship and considering
the intense feeling it is question as to
what length the demonstration would
have gone had O'Sullivan ssarriyed

Herbert Rumford Said To BE Defaulter to
Extent of Several Thousand Dollars.
Manchester, N. H., June S.-A special
to the Union from Portsmouth says:
Herbert Bumford, who for three years
past has been the trusted book keeper at
the Morley Button factory is said to be
a defaulter in what sum it is not at
present known, but it is thought to be in
the thousands.
"Bumford is twenty three years of age
and is native of Rochester. The books
of the company are kept at the Boston
office, though which all business is tran
sacted. Bumford collected the time slips
of all the employees of the factory and
forwarded them to Boston and received
the pay envelopes. 1t is claimed that he
kept on the pay roll names of employees
who had been discharged or had left and
pocketed the money.
"On Friday last he was taken ill and
was forced to remain at home Saturday.
The money came down from Boston as
usual and after everybody had received
his money, three envelopes for girls who
were no longer in the employ of the COM
pany were left uncalled for. This led to
the discovery of Bumford's IS alleged crook
edness."

Durrant Cheerful AS a Chicket.

San Francisco, June S.-The peculiar
status of the Durrant case is exciting an
unusual amount of public comment.
Since the postponement of Worden's ex-
ecution the opinion is generally expressed
that Durrant will not be hanged on Fri
day next. Attorney General Fitzgerald
says, however, that unless officially noti-
fled or restrained, Warden Hale stands
ready to carry out the sentence. Warden
Hale has asked for the opinion of the at.
torney general who will render his
opinion tomorrow.
So confident is Durrant of the outcome
of his appeal to the court of last resort
that he is already making plans for the
future. 1t is generally believed among
the legal fraternity that, pending the
action of the Supreme court, Governor
Budd will grant a reprieve in order to pre-
vent the necessity of resentencing the
prisoner, and the endless litigation in
which it might result
