 Never has president of the republic or a minister of state been accused of con- version of funds. On the contrary, 1t ofter1-happens that presidents retire in poverty from power, by reason of having neglected their private affairs during their administration of the government.
 During the civil war of 1890 the admin istration devoted itself heartily to the task of military mobilization; the party which supported President Balmaceda was defeated, and whea the victorS took possession of the capital there was not found in the archives of the government a single account, q single payment which was not audited. nor one which could have been made in tho slightest degree a reproach to the fallen administration. Furthermore, there was not a single high fundtonary who prohted by the disorder to make his fortune.
 The interest on foreign loans and obli- cations of the state have always been promptly met It has been with Chile a matter of pride never to default on con- tracts of any kind, not even in moments of financial difficulty. This is daily a matter of more importance among na- tions especially now that it appears to be an established point that the collection of debt may enter into the category of diplomatic negotiations
 Reviewing the administrative history of [ the country from the time of Portales, who was practically the founder of the nation, and who is termed ''the Washing ton of Chile" it is pointed out by Senor Ortuzar that many of the Chilean lead CTS presented likenesses in character and strength of purpose to the foremost pub lie men of the United States
 An era of great national prosperity Is predicted for the republic by Senor Ortuzar, who comments thus upon she administrati tion of President Pedro Montt, who lately was seated in office:

IMPORTANT BILL KILLED BY LAITY
,EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE IS STILL BUSY AT WORk--NEGRO QUES- TON IS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH. FUND FOR DISABLED CLERGY.

Richmond, Va, October 14.-The prin- cipal event that occurred today in the Episcopal convention was the defeat of the so-called archbishop of Providence bill, which has been holding the attention of the house of bishops and house of deputies for the past two days. The house of bishops passed the measure and the clergy were overwhelmingly in favor of it The Iaity, however, defeated the meas ure by a non-concurrence.
 At joint meeting of the bishops and the deputies this afternoon the bishop of Mississippi and the bishop of Georgia spoke on the negro question, both con- tending that the work among the negroes fin the southern states had advanced rap idly within the last 10 years. and both making earnest pleas that the church con- tinue the work.
 The Right Rev. Samuel Ferguson of Cape Palmas, the only negro sitting in either house of the convention, also spoke and made an excellent impression, es- pecially among the delegates from the southern states. The Rev. Dr. Wilkins of Los Angeles had passed tonight a reso- lution forming a commission of 10 bishops. 15 clergymen and 20 laymen to raise a fund of S5 000 000 for the relief of disabled clergy.

The schools and the railways have been the chief preoccupaton of the present executive during his long public career, who, for 90 years, has been one of the most prom ihent men in Chile. First in the cham Der of deputies then in the senate, in the council of state. at different times secretary of state during the last five administrations, he distinguished himself always by his spirit of justice, his aus terity and activity.

No Benefit for MansfeId's Family.

From Leslie's Weekly
 Admirers of the late Richard Mansfield will hear with satisfaction that the em- inent actor left q substantial fortune. estimated at from $30000O to $5000O0. Too often the public has been shocked to learn that a popular stage favorite, who must have earned far more than 8 com petence by his art. has died in poverty: and benefit performances for the depend ents of actors who should have died rich have been so common as to excite little surprise. Much may be conceded to ths artistic temperament which finds atten- ton to money matters irksome; but with the rewards of moderate dramatic abil- ity so great as they now are. there can be no good reason, in tho majority of cases, why actors of mark should save nothing of their large incomes. It is time that "bene6t funerals should cease to bc q reproach to the theatrical profess sion.

THE HAGUE MEETING
 WILL END SATURDAY
WHILE NO IMMEDIATE RESULTS ARE APPARENT, MUCH GOOD IS EXPECTED FROM FUTURE CON- FERENCES.

The Hague. october 14.-Four months expired today since the first meeting of the second peace conference and for the past 122 days representa- tfves of all the civilized states in the world have been working here with little pra ctical or immediate results, although they have perhaps started in motion machinery that in the future will lead to what now seems a Utopia" :" namely, d federation of all peoples and all races under which the same laws will be agreed upon and impartially applied. At the last moment a little incident threaterfed to upset the com parative harmony which has reigned among the delegates throughout the entire conference. In the report made by James Brown Scott of the Amef ican delegation. proposing the estab- llshment of a permanent court of arbi- tration as at first presented to the com mittee, it was set forth that the court should be "based on the judicial equity of the states"
 The phrase is omitted in the report for discussion by the plenary sitting and the Latin American delegates com plain that It's suppression alters the fundamental basis of the whole project and attribute the act to bad faith MT Scott explains that the phrase was not included in the draft submitted to the oXnmna ton of the committee, but that iJ was inserted by mistake in the re- ports submitted to the committee on arbitration. The mistake was then eX- plained and when voted the delegates were aware that it's presence was an error.
 All the leading delegates have brought pressure to bear to have the conference come to an end next Satur- day and President Neldoff is hurrying work in order to satisfy his colleagues.
