AS MEDIATOR.
Services of Uncle Sam Likely to Be
Needed in South America

Washington, April 26.-The present
dispute between Chile and Peru is a
legacy of the last war between those
two countries about fifteen years ago.
One of the terms of peace was that the
victor, Chile, should occupy the two val
liable Peruvian nitrate provinces of
Tacna and africa, adjoining the Chilean
boundry on the north, for a period of
ten years. At the end of that period the
people of the provinces were to deter
mine by their vote whether their lands
should remain in the possession OF
Chile or revert to Peruvian sovereignty.
In the first case Chile was to pay Peru
100000 silver soles, while if the
province was returned to Peru the gov
eminent of that country was to pay to
Chile a corresponding sum of money.
The allegation is now that the treaty
provision on this point was not executed;
that there was no plebesc1te, and that
no money passed.
Because the United States was deeply
interested in bringing about the peace
which terminated the bitter war be-
tween Chile and Peru it is probably as
sumed by the Peruvians that our gov
the faithful execution of the terms of
the treaty. 1t must, however, be admit
ted that up to this time, our govern
ment has not manifested any particular
interest in the subject and has not even
received any application, secret or 9TH
erwise from either of the parties to in
tervene at this last phase, though the
reports from South America seem to in
dictate a purpose on the part of the
Peruvians at least, to enlist our SYM
pathieS in their behalf

GATES LEAVES GOTHAM.
Sudden Departure of the Wire and
Steel Magnate Creates Surprise.

New York, April 26-The Herald says:
John W. Gates and the Steel and Wire
people who have been so much in evil
denee in Wall street and at the Wal
dor1-Astoria for the last week departed
for Chicago yesterday afternoon. With
Mr.. Gates went John Lambert. William
Denborn, Isaac Ellwood. Alfred Clifford,
William P. Palmer, John A. Drake and
James Hopkins. Only Max Pam, the le-
gal adviser of the Gates party, was left
behind.
At the Waldorf-Astoria last night the
unannounced departure of Gates and
his followers was a genuine surprise,
and the reason of their going was a rid
die that no one seemed able to solve.
All sorts of guesses were ventured, and
there were vague intimations of litiga-
ton by dissatisfied stockholders which
the steel and wire executive committee
might not want to face. But nothing
in any way definite on this score could
be ascertained-

Is What It is Proposed to Make This
Census.

London, April 26-The National AS

the bill now pending before congress for

recommended the Incorporation of the

congressional committee asking a bill
to that end was adopted.

North stated that the census of 1900
would show a remedy for all previous
defects The census department wished
to make 1T the quickest as well as the

doubted the utility of the question as
to the amount OF capital invested In

manded that it be put, and the depart

LIMIT IS REACHED.
Long Calls on Chadwick to Ex-
plain Abuse Of SchIey.

New York, April Pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Long is reported to have
called the attention of Captain r. E
Chadwick, who commanded the ar
mored cruiser New York during the
battle off Santiago, Cuba, to an inter-
view credited to him and published a
few days ago, in which he bitterly as
sailed Rear Admiral w. S. Schley.
1t is known that the interview came
to the attention of the secretary and
that it is considered sufficiently serious
to warrant an explanation from Cap
tain Chadwick. Should Captain Chad
wick stand for the interview it is likely
that the department will feel in duty
bound to make him substantiate his
statements. In this way it is possible
that the whole Sampson-Schley contro-
versy may be reopened.
In the interview credited to him,
Captain Chadwick is alleged to have
made these statements: Everyone OF
US feels the the disgrace that Schley has
put upon US. 1t is not Sam9son or
Schley that we care about or are anx-
ious to vindicate. 1t is the honor of
the navy that has been assailed, it's
esprit du corps has received a serious
blow. and in the opinion of officers it
has been injurious to US abroad by a
disgraceful exhibition of pettiness of
which Admiral Schley has been guilty.
Il have for him only contempt I
would not shake his hand if he offered
it to me, and in this believe I simply
re-echO the sentiments of almost the
entire navy. If Admiral Schley desires
a vindication let him ask for an inves-
LEGATION of his conduct. The men who
fought the ships at the battle of San
tiago and the general public, I am sure,
desire such an investigation, and will
be willing to abide by the result, what
ever it may be-"
Those who are acquainted with Cap
tain Chadwick's sentiments would not
be surprised if he should avoW that he
was quoted correctly, but they express
the opinion that he would explain to
the department that he did not au-
thorize the interview. In such a case
it is difficult to forecast the action Of
the department. Section 236 of the navy
regulations prohibits criticism of Off
GERS by their colleagues.
Violation Of this regulation Is pun
ished by noting the offense upon the
record of the guilty officer. Captain
Chadwick has heretofore been very
careful not to talk for publication, and
it is this fact which makes his friends
here believe he did not authorize the
interview.
Captain Chadwick has never been
friendly to Rear Admiral Schley, and
the latter's friends intend to bring him
to account. The fact that Real Admiral
Schley is several miles away should
have prevented any officer from criti-
Ching him, they declare, and they are
glad that Secretary Long has shown
his fairness by taking measures to pre-
vent public criticism of their hero.
Should Captain Chadwick admit that
he made the statements quoted, it is
likely they will press the department
to order a court martial, and call its
attention to the case of Chaplain Nc
Intyre, who was dismissed because of
criticism of Captain R. D. Evans, who
commanded the battleship Iowa in the
Santiago engagement.

Bell sent three detachments of the

WOMEN DELEGATES
VIII Go From Colorado to the Sioux

Florence, Col, April 26.-The state Pop
ulist convention elected thirty-eight dele
gates to Sioux Falls, with T. NJ Patter-
son, of Denver as chairman. The list
contained the names of three women, Mrs.
Dora Phelps Bull, Mrs. Olive NJ. Bacon,
and Mrs. Sue NJ. Callahan. J. A. Edger-
was also named. The following resolu-
tons were adopted, after which the con-
Vention adjourned:
Resolved, by the Peoples Party of Col
that we recognize in William J. Bryan a
great and honest statesman, whose char
true patriots, and we declare that he IS
the unanimous choice of the Peoples
Party of Colorado. for president of the
United States.
Resolved, That to secure the election
Of MT. Bryan to the presidency, it is of
highest Importance that the candidate for
vice president shall be acceptable to the
Peoples Party, Democratic and Silver Re-
publican parties; that those who sincere
" desire the success of the reform to
which Mr. Bryan stands pledged, look
with apprehension upon a repetition of the
d1Scord of four years ago consequent upon
different vice presidential nominees upon
the tickets with him; that in the judg-
ment or this convention such a calamity
can most surely be avoided by confer
ence between properly accredited COM
mittees from the Peoples Party, Demo-
critic and Silver Republican party conVen-
lions, to agree if possible upon nominee
for vice president that Will be satisfactory
to the three parties; that to secure such
a result we advise that the People Party
| soon to assemble in national delegate con-
vention at Sioux Falls, do not, at said
| convention, nominate a candidate for vice
president, but in lieu thereof appoint a
representative committee with authority to
| confer with like committees from the
! Democratic and silver Republican ma
| tional conventions at Kansas City, and to
agree with them, if possible, upon vice
| presidential nomination in honest SYM
| pathy with William J. Bryan and the
! great reforms he so bravely and unself-
| ish1y espouses; and we pledge that such a
| ticket when nominated. will receive the
| enthusiastic and unqualified support Of
| the Peoples Party of Colorado.

rested in the power of the manufac-
tuners to make or mar this census.
Resolutions bearing upon a variety OF
subjects have also been adopted, among
them the following:
Resolved, That the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers of the United
States heartily congratulate the present
administration and particularly John
Hay, secretary Of state. on the termina-
ton of the brilliant and effective diplo-
matte effort to establish the principle of
the open door, system of trade in
China.
Resolved, That we further believe
that the advantages thus secured can
best be maintained if our government
will accord to merchants coming to the
United States the right assured to them
under the treaty OF entrance into this
country, without needless hindrance or
delay.
Resolved, That the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers of earnestly pc
titioning the congress to endeavor to
have prepared and ratified a reciprocal

cessions in duties, will give to the Am
erican manufacturer an opportunity to
hold and extend their trade in the Do
minion of Canada under tariff condi-
tionS quite as favorable as those &C
corded to any other nation.
The latter resolution was adopted, in
spite of a Michigan of the American
delegates protest.
Resolutions favoring the laying OF
competing cables between the United
States and Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines were adopted.
