A Friendly Settlement.

New York, March ga dispatch to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile. says: In
the course of an interview President
ErraZuriz said:
Il bring a most pleasant impression
from the conference held with President
Roca. am fully convinced that Presi-
dent Roca and his ministers warmly
seek for a friendly settlement of all
questions pending in both countries. l
do not know whether the conferences
about Puenta de Atacama which began
yesterday in Buenos Ayres, will solve
the controversy without recourse to
United States Minister Buchanan as
final arbitrator. The commissioners of
both countries are highly respectable
men, upon whose minds neither myself
nor President Roca can bring influence
to bear. If all of the commissioners
had been present at the Magellan con-
ference they would presumably have
anticipated the solution of the problem.
AS for commencement of matters, the
rans-Andine railways, etc, the COM
missioners carry full instructions. Pres
ident Roca expressed to me his desire
to pay visit. The same is true as to
my alleged visit to the president of
Peru
The Chilean war office and the mill
tary authorities have definitely decided
to reduce the army by 5000 men.

ed monitor Puritan out of commission
at the Norfolk navy yard and 1t is saia
at the navigation bureau that the snip
must be followed by others speedily TO
the great detriment of the plans OF the
department. The estimates submitted
to congress, based on the minimum re-
quirements of the navy, provided for
10000 sailors. Congress cut this down
to $1,000. There are now $4,000 men IN
the service, so that 5000 of these must
be dropped Immediately. That means,
according to the navigation officers, that
large part of the north Atlantic squad
ron must go out of commission. The
Asiatic squadron cannot be reduced in
view of Dewey's necessities; there is
only one ship. the Philadelphia, on the
Pacific, and the European and South
Atlantic stations have been abandoned,
and there is only left the north Atlantic
squadron as material for a cut. The loss
of 5000 men means the cutting in half
of this splendid home defense squadron.
1t is probable that the heavy reduc-
tion in the number of enlisted men and
consequently on ships will interfere SER
iously with the conduct Of the naval
maneuvers this year, Notwithstanding
the enormous benefit that has been de-
rived from such drills in the past An
other difficulty is going to be the i'm
possibility of putting into condition the
new ships as they are turned over to
the government by the builders, simply
for want of men to man them.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, March S.-Mild and rainy
weather to be followed by cold wave
together with independent strength of the
foreign markets, were the items of infor-
nation from which traders imbibed the
Sight decoction of bullish spirit that was
indicated by Nc advance in the price
OF May wheat at the start. Argentine
shipments during the week amounted to
1882. 900 bushels of wheat, compared with
l. 296 600 bushels the week before The in
crease had a bearish effect on the crowd.
but the news from the country CORE
spondents to commission houses concern
ing the condition of wheat was generally
bad and held any extensive selling in
check. Advices from California were to
the effect that the rains the bears have
been making so much of here did not fall
where wheat is grown to any extent, ana
that the drought still continued, with
wheat ruling at a sharp advance in price.
The market was exceedingly dull through
out and fluctuations were confined within
the limits of 729sc@731sc, closing at 73c
buyers
Corn was firm within narrow limits. May
left off a shade lower.
Oats were very dull. The close is hc adj
vance.
Provisions were somewhat heavy and
slow. with the range as heavy as it could
be. Local spectators did very little and
outsiders nothing Pork declined &c and

New York March 3.-Stock dealings
induced sharp net gains generally, with
firm tone prevailing at the close. The
realizing which appeared yesterday con-
tnued but a short time and the market
quieted down, with an appearance in
many stocks of hardening tendency.
Traders were inclined to cover to some
extent on the appearance Of some So
called good buying which encouraged en-
deavors for the long account. Brooklyn
Transit and st. Louis Southwestern pre-
ferred were strong and there was num-
Der of advances among the specialties,
including Consolidated Gas. Metropolitan,
General Electric, American Tinpiate and
Tobacco. The upward manipulation of
the latter stock, which reached 127, was
on the theory that it would have a mo-
nopoly of the trade by its acquisition of
the Union Tobacco company. The sue
cess of the Chicago & Alton caused favor
able comment because of the good effect
upon railroads that would result from the
deal. Arbitrage houses disposed of some
10000 shares, a portion of which they re-
purchased. A delay in cable service had
a restricting effect upon the arbitrage
business. While there was little activity
on the part of the commission houses
the bulk of the days operations appeared
to be professional. Some room traders
fancied that from the nature of the deal
ings interests which had recently market
ed large lines of Burlington and Atchison
preferred repurchased some OF their for
mer holdings. The sudden call of $40 0O0,
900 from subscribers to the new baking
powder combination carried the loaning
rate of call money sharply upward a
small amount being loaned as high as Az
per cent. This circumstance was reflect
ed in the very weak sterling market. Some
irregularity occurred in to-day's bond
market, which. however. did not impair
the general undertone of firmness. Louis

Wonderful Ak-Sar-Ben
illumination Effects

Five years ago this fall, when the first
OF the Ak-Sar Ben paradee were held, 1t
was the generally expressed opinion that the
climax had been reached in the way OF brill
liant effects from electrical street illumna
tion. The succeeding year 1t was demon
strated that the verdict was in error and
that much more was possible. With each
succeeding year a little more has been done,
until this fall 1t would seem that the limit
had been reached In combining brilliancy
with the perfect harmonizing with colors
What little was lacking in the street illumi
nations was completely supplied by the
floats, which were a mass of lights of the
Ak-Sar- Ben colors-red, green and yellow
Had the floats never appeared there would
not have been any consciousness OF some
thing lacking
In addition to the usual arc lights, which
are sufficient for all ordinary lighting pur-
poses, along the sides of each street through
which the parades passed wires were strung
on which were placed at intervals OF two
feet white incandescent lamps At
each street intersection arches were ex-
tended over the street and from these blazed
rows of lights of red, orange and green. This
area OF illumination embraced practically
all Of the down town streets. AS one stood
at the end of one of these streets and looked
down through the succession of brilliantly
colored arches, walled in on either side with
row OF glowing white lights, with each
block set off by more intense glow from
the arc light, the onlooker could but wonder
IL he had not been transplanted to fairyland.
The streets and pavements were as light as
day, while up from the sides rose the brick
and stone buildings until their tops were
lost in the darkness.
To all Of this was added the effect Of the
electrical decorations of numerous public
and private buildings. which reached the
climax of effectiveness in the block between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets on Far
nam. Here, in front of the city hall, was
the place where Samson, the ruler OF the
kingdom OF Quivera, was to meet the officials

ood nature overfowed into the realm or
hllarity, and the person who did not get his
moneys worth has not yet reported.
The parades OF the two previous nights
were of scarcely less interest. That or
Tuesday was not planned primarily for
tistic effect, though by no means devoid OF 1t.
1t was simpy intended to happily hit off in
cidents of everyday life, which was done In
very successful manner.
The civic parade OF the second night pos
sessed none OF the spectacular features or
either of the other two events, though there
was liberal touch of red fire when the
veterans o. the Philippine campaign
marched along.
People who did not see the parades ann
the illuminations will never know Just
what they missed. for words are as made
quate to describe their beauties as the
painters brush Is to add to the beauties or
the lily. Those who did, and they are num-
bered by the thousands, will have with them
memory which will last through the re-
mainder of their days

Three Good Stories
from the United
States Senate

Old attaches OF the United States senate
relates the New York Sun, like to tell stories
or the palmy days OF Senators Pomeroy,
old Pom" of Kansas. Zach Chandler of
Michigan and Nesmith OF Oregon. Chandler
was more of practical joker than a story
teller. Roscoe Conklng being much
younger man and in almost constant train
ing, subjected Chandler to some severe
drubbings in their friendly bouts with the
gloves. Once Chandler invited Conkling to
dine with him, his family being away at the
time, and at table he was introduced to a
d-mannered, we'll built man, who seemed
to be somewhat embarrassed by his environ
ment, and ventured not word beyond the
most commonplace expressions. Conkling
concluded that the stranger a back
woods constituent and beyond the common
civilities, ceased to address him. After din
ner they repaired to the billiard room. and
presently old Zach and Conkling, as usual.
put on the mittens. Conkling was in high
spirits and seemed to enjoy himself i'm
mensely in knocking his old friend all
around the room.
Chandler soon cried enough, and inti-
mated that his other guest might be dis
posed to join Coukling in bout The
stranger jumped at the suggestion and
donned the gloves. Some awkwardness was
shown by the newcomer, alth ugh he seemed
quite spry upon his feet. Conkling caught
him heavy blow on the chest which stag
gered him, followed by an uppercut that
missed its purpose and he caught in return
blow on the point Of the chin that landed
him fiat on his back Throwing back his
curls, he was up in an instant and rushed
on his antagonist, full Of fire and indigna-
tion. intending to give him a settler. In
stead, he was turned upside down by a left
hand blow on the neck that came with trip
hammer force. AS he slowly raised himself
he caught sight Of his host doubled up with
laughter, rolling on a settee in the corner OF
the room. Without saying a word he re-
moved the gloves and stalked out of the
house. At dinner party next night Chand-
ler related how he had engaged Jem Mace.
the champion heavyweight pugilist OF Eng
land, then exhibiting in this country to meet
his friend Ccnkling and the result OF the
interview For few days Conklng was
boiling mad, but the fun Of the situatl n was
too much, and he gave in and joined in the
laugh.
