CHILE GETS HUFFY
WANTS TO SEND AMBASSADOR TO
 wAsHHTnGT0N.
Fsilure of United states te Take Kind- iy to susGestis,n of Raising Le- gation Cam4es Feeling of
 Eetran gement.

washington, March 31.--Chiles fail nre to send q minister to Washington to replace Mir. Walker Martinez who did not return here after the Panama American conference at Rio Janeiro last summer, has caused much com ment
 The neglect of the Chilean congress to appropriate sufficient money to maintain the legation has been given as a reason for leaving the American mission in charge of Alberto Yoacham, secretary of the legation, but 1t has just become known that the real cause was hidden deep In n-American politics.
 Chile decided f would be a good Idea to have sn ambassador in Wash ingtou and steps were taken to dis. cover what tks tInlted States thought about the prcpossd delegation of the Chilean repuf He tc Washington. Bra xil had an a nhRF ,tdor and Chile felt that q sfmiif 7 bor r should be accord ed to sFt i5y 94n ffnt sd SiaFcr.,
 The suggestion that the Chilean en- yoy might be raised to ambassadorial rank set all Latin-A America on edge and A general movement was instttu- ted by the southern republics to head off such a movement. Argentina be- Ing unfriendiy to Chile was especially opposed to the plan. as Brazil and Chile was always rated as allies and Argen- tina did not want her two strongest rivals to outstrip her in American rep resentation.
 It has not been the policy of the State Department to send ambassadors to any country which cannot be ranked as A world power, and when the hos tility of the rest of South America to such a change became known the Uni ted States decided that the question had better not be agitated further at this time.
 Before this decision was reached. however, 1t was Automatically hinted that Bolivia and several of the other western South American republics would probably decide to withdraw their ministers and leave their lega- tions in charge of secretaries In case Chile was permitted to send an Am basSador.
 After Mir Walker Martinez left Washington 1t was suggested to the State Department that another man whose name has not been made public was being considered tor the place. But after the United States was asked about the man his name was dropped and recently there has been no sug- Kestion that Chile will be in any hurry about sending & representative of min isterial rank to Washington.
 The United states had no objection to tho name proposed and the failure of Chile to send him is attributed by diplomatists here to the refusal of the United States to give favorable con sideration to the ambasssdorial plan.

long and amicable discussion between Prince von Bueiow and Signor Tittonf. Although the conference was not brought about by political reasons. na- turaliy the subjects of conversation were the political questions now occu- pying the international nsld.
 "The conversation demonstrated again the complete and full corres- pondence of idcas of the two states- men"
 Although the strictest secrecy is maintained concerning the meeting of the diplomats. 1t seems that the chief discussion was concerntnE the efficien- cy and strength of the triple alliance and that # was specially argued that reciprocal relations between Austria and Italy should be strengthened as the greatest danger threatening the two powers was a conflict between themselves, which the triple alliance wished to avoid.
 1t is expected that the conferences will end when Prince von Bueiow and sixnor Tfttoni meet Baron Aehrenthal the Austro- Hungary Foreign Minister It is asserted that the German Chan fcelior is not opposed to the principals of a general limitation of armaments but that he will reserve his actual ad- hesion to 1t until practical way Tor it's application is found.

 satisned.
 New York. March 3o-- Easter Sunday for Harry K. Thaw in the Tombs was made more cheerful by visit from his wife. who had been granted special permit to pass the afternoon with her husband. the first time since the tragedy lsss June, to the reporters. AZ
 Harry grows more cheerful and sat- isfied with the way his affairs are pro- Sgressing every day." she said. Like all the rest of us. he is perfectly cons hdent that the commission will find him sane. and that the trial will g0 on. He even talked today of being freq next Sunday and planned how we should dine together"
 Thaw attended the Easter services conducted by Rev. Dr. 5andersou. in the morning. None of his counsel vis- tied him during the day. He will cons probable developments b ore the com mission Tuesday.
 Tonight c W Hartridge. the attorrl uey of record in the Thaw defense spent about forty minutes with his client in earnest consultation He iee 1t be inferred later that he was we'll satisfied with the showing made by
  sian and that the resumption of the trial was practically certain.
 "The defense will offer no witnesses heforN the commission" said Danisi OReilly. who has charge of the prac- tical end of the Thaw case. "No alien- ists will be called to testify to tie present mental condition of the de- fendant. although the district attor- ney has the promise of the commis- sion to hear his witnesses on three points. Doctors Gregory. Pilgrim ana White who were witnesses for the de-, fense, will not be called because thetz@ aifidavitR were not filed with the afii< davits of the other experts.
 Tt Is probable that Dr. Hamilton may be excluded entirely, not because he declines to waive his professional privilege but because what he could tell would be too remote to determina tho present condition of the defen- dant. The last time pr. Hamilton had an opportunity to make an obeer- vatton of scientific value was in July. 1sos. All the indications are that the trial will be resumed and that tho fnaI issue will be determined before fhe end of the week.
