Chile's Omcial Messenger.

Count JULIAN DE OWES comes to this
country not only as a consul, but also as
a Special Commissioner from the Chilean
Government. His mission is to confer
with the authorities here in regard TO
Chilean-American trade. The errand
is not a one sided affair. Chile wants
to buy from US as we'll as to sell to us.
She now exports about $50, 900, 900 worth
of her products annually, about sl4, 000,-
900 worth coming to the United States.
She imports about 500, 900, 900, our pres
ent share Of which is 81 900, 900,
There are two obstacles to the extern
sion of our trade with that country, and
the same influences limit our trade in the
entire area of the Western Hemisphere
south Of the equator. They are the in
excusable indifference of our merchants
and manufacturers to a market which
buys nearly, if not quite, $500, o0o, 900 a
year, and the lack of transportation
facilities for reaching that market, In
point Of distance from this market Eu-
rope and the United States are practically
on the same footing, although the United
States has an advantage on such mer-
chandise as can be sent via Panama to
the west coast: but the distance from
New York to Rio J~aneiro, Montevideo
and Buenos Ayres, and thence via the
Straits of Magellan to Valparaiso, Anto-
fagasta and Callao, is practically the
same as from the English Channel to the
same points.
During the last ten years the imports
OF the region southwark Of the equator
have increased in value to the amount
Of, roughly, $3.50. ooo, 900. Before the
Panama Canal can give us a better OPEN
ing to tke west coast trade. which is only

The strike of Funeral Coach Drivers

demanding $l4 n week for a twelve hour
day. In any other occupation it would
he a long day, but the employers say
that there are plenty of good men
capable Of driving n horse at a funeral, y
and on the whole the work is more rest
full than exacting.
Local 643, the uptown organization,
won n strike last week for the pay now
demanded by Local 1874, but agreed to
fourteen hours as a working day. While
the uptown strike was in progress the
downtown union entered into an agree
ment with the employers association to
accept sl3 as a weeks pay. The strike
of Local 1874 this week is for a dollar
more-that is to say, for uniformity.
Strikes of employees in the UNDER
taking business that interrupt and pre-
vent funerals are repugnant to the sense
of decency and offend against that re-
spect which is felt among all classes for
ceremonial exercises over the dead,
One of the officers of Local 1874 boasts
that since the strike was declared on
Sunday morning there has not been "a
successful funeral south Of Fourteenth
street. In some cases moral suasion"
was ~effectually used upon the drivers of
coaches, and the mourners had TO walk to
the cemetery or ride in street cars. One
carriage containing relatives of the dead
was stoned, the driver being the target,
A. strong plea" by mourners was often
necessary if the hearse was ever to reach
the cemetery, and many funerals were
postponed. Those that were completed
with the help Of %non-union labor, the
undertaken himself sometimes driving
the hearse, were described by Local 1914
as not fair"
As it is not difficult to hire competent
mon to drive funeral coaches, tho sue
cess of such a strike depends upon in
timldation Of some sort, The funerals
south Of Fourteenth street" would
have proceeded without any disagree
able features on Sunday if Local 164
had not interferod with the %non-union
drivers. 1t is obvious that if the Inter-
national brotherhood Of Transfers could
effect a perfect organization" Of funeral
coach drivers in Manhattan, there would
be no funerals without its consent, unless
strikebreakers were brought in and po-
lice, and perhaps militia, protection were
provided. We may yet come to such a
state OF things, but if we do it will not

over faithful to the interests Of the great
commercial city which has the happiness
to number him among its Representa-
tives in Congress, opposes all plans for
giving the United States an adequate
navy. Defence against whom?' he
asks; who is the foe that menao us2'
Suppose a foe was menacing; then,
apparently, the patriotic COCHRAN would
approve the Strengthening Of the navy;
call a stronger navy into existence by
the magic Of his voice or ask the foe to
suspend proceedings until some more
American battleships were ready for
business.
Mr.. COCHRAN was very beautiful with

which had been started by the legal pro-
fession for eliminating politics from the

Mr.. Cutting said he had not the least idea
what men were behind the lawyers agita-
ton. He concluded, however, that itwould
be fair to pre- June that they were men OF
prominence in their profession and could
be looked upon as representing the Bar

MIDNIGHT CALLS

1t is the object of the theater, we take
it, to convey lessons in morals and de-
corum in tangible and pleasing man
ner. We should say that every young
woman who has been diligent patron
of the local drama has discovered by
this time that it is mistake to visit
men at their bachelor apartments be-
tween the hours of 10 p. m. and a. m.
This lesson has been driven home so
repeatedly that the inference is that,
without it's warning, nice girls would
make a point of returning the calls Of
their gentleman friends and staying
late In scores of plays there is the ia
miliar scene of the Innocent young wo-
man calling at a mans rooms to ex-
plain something or to demand an eX-
PLANTATION of him, a belated male friend
putting in an inopportune appearance
and the young women hiding in closet
or adjoining room or behind a screen
and being discovered after it looked as
If she would escape detection.
Not to speak of other plays with such
a scene, we recall The School for Scan
dal,"I "Sapho," "The Gay Lord Quex,"
"Heartsease," 'Never Again." Sowing
the Wind,' 'Sweet Kitty Bellairs,"
Brown of Harvard" Lady Jim," and
"The Dear Unfair Sex" In "Monna

an innocent impulse; in Leah Kles-
china" the fair visitor is a thief who
counts ON the embarrassment which
publicity would bring to the man in the
case as her shield against arrest and
punishment. Both dramas present well
come variants of a hackneyed incident
Playwrights could not have made use
of this motive because of it's novelty, for
it has long ceased to have novelty; nor
because it was the assumption that
While men might behave like gentle
men in the drawing room of others, they
could not possibly be gentlemen in their
own-for that would libel human ma
ture The men who write plays, then,
evidently have had good reason to be-
lieve that girls have not gumption
enough without a course of instruction
pursued to the point of weariness, to
stay away from mems rooms.
AS a result of all this instruction, 1t
is to be inferred that now when women
want to talk to man they will meet
him at the fountain, or in the palm
room, or use the telephone, or even take
the sagacious and innovatory course Of
asking him to call at their homes.-
