MINISTERIAL CRISES.

To an outside observer the marvel is
that the government goes on so well in
these circumstances and that Gillian for
eign policy Is so little affected. New Min
listers of Foreign Affairs may suffer en-
barrassment, but this is not apparent in
the intercourse with other countries.
Doubtless the reason is that public opinion
is so definite and pronounced that minis
teriaI crises and changes in Cabinet OFF,
GERS are not allowed to influence IT, There
is a continuity which raises il above the
plane OF the party groups. Other coun-
tries can understand its tendencies with
out going into the intracicies OF the sys-
TEN OF political government in Chill.
1t is treading on uncertain ground to
seek TO learn how far Gillian domestic
politics and her foreign policy converge in
the plan 10 settle the Tacna-Arica contro-
versy with Peru. The subject however. Is
not a forbidden one, though it IS treated
with reserve. Less apparent interest is
shown than in Peru, and there is less pub
lie discussion, though the matter is not
avoided, and il is stated that the nego-
tiations are not affected by the minis
terial crises since they could not go for
ward at all without the tacit sanction of
all the influential groups in Congress.

CONDITION OF FARMERS.

The material condition of the mass or
the agricultural population is not salts
factory to those who are anxious 70
strengthen the social organization OF the
country, and the welfare of the agricult-
urai laboring classes is receiving atten-
ton, though it has not advanced to the
stage where the same consideration 10
given il that the welfare of the working
men in the cities receives. The solicituds
for the latter is shown in the provisions
for model workingmen's dwellings.
The Gillian huaso. or countryman OF
the better type. when he has his horse. Is
an Independent individual, like West
ern cowboy, and not much disposed to be
surly and to find fault with his surround
ings. But taken in a mass or as one CT
the mass OF the agricultural laborers. he
has his grievances and gives voice to
them, though sometimes vaguely pres
ent grievance in his wages. He 10 paid In
the deprecated and fuctuating currency
that buys less and less OF the necessities
of his daily life. which are in themselves
quite simple This grievance will In time
be cured, because the Gillian government
cannot permit the financial disorgantxa-
ton to 60 on forever, but there are social
conditions which cannot be remedied by
fiscal measures. When his physical sur
roundings are bettered the huaso may be
more receptive to progressive innovations
in farming and may take more kindly TO-
the methods Of modern agriculture.

derstand the cause OF the trouble.
Chill maintains the French parliament
tary system In its most extended form.
The Congress combines executive with
legislative functions and rules the coun-
try through committees. The President is
merely an administrator, with very linz
tied powers OF administration. He has
little influence IN legislation. There are
intervals when he gets a Cabinet together
representing the strongest groups in Con-
gress. and government affairs run along
smoothly. because these groups have not
shifted.
Then mysterlously over night the minis
terial crisis arises. IL is not usually over
some important question OF policy on
which Congress has voted lack OF con-
ndence. Sometimes II is due TO personal
antagonisms that have developed among
the different groups. But. whatever the
cause the President. so powerless in other
matters. Is confronted with the response

NEUTRAL ATTITUDE.

All foreign countries share the Com
merce Of Chilli on equal terms. There is
no discrimination against Americans. II
England after a century has so large a
share of II and If there Is strong pro-
English sentiment due to the heavy in
vestments of English capital, and as a re-
suit Of so many years of close intercourse.
that does not mean hostility to the United
States or its citizens. The case Of Ger
many is an example. German banking
capital has been welcomed, German immi-
grafton has been encouraged. and German
commerce, through its banking capital. is
going to outstrip English trade in Chill.
The close friendship Of Chill with Eng
land has not eXerted any adverse infiu-
ence on the Germanzing movement and
would not be allowed 10 affect commercial
intercourse. The Germans, IN fact. are
rather the more welcome Of the two ma
uonalites, because they settle and inter-
marry and become part of the Industrial
ana social life of the country and spend
large part Of the remunerative returns OF
'heir capital here, while the English, after

Americans will oe just as welcome as

along the lines Of national policy just as
European enterprises are treated. Tho
American purchases OF iron ore and cop

objections of few individuals 10 these
enterprises as an insidious extension OF
Yankee Imperialism" are not worthy Of
consideration and are not TO be taken In
any way as representing the sentiments of
the government or the people. These are
Gillian statements.
Internal development always has been
fostered in Chill much as In the United
States. II is a national policy which lags
only when the treasury is low and Is
never allowed TO lapse entirely. A short
time ago the last link In the Longitudinal

The experiments that showed the great
est results were conducted recently by
American railroad men. They took place
last month upon the line of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad between New York City
and Buffalo, on a regular express tram
and during the usual run. They showed
that successful communication can be
made with trains running at ffty-hve
miles an hour, not only with the station
that the train Is approaching, but the
one that is being left behind. When the
train had travelled too far to get the
messages from the rear station on the
travelling aerial, it received them by re-
Law from the forward station. whence
thew were transmitted back again to the
operator on the Pullman. BY this method

counterbalance the United States. This Is
as yet limited at only vaguely as a dream
rather than as a definite national aspira-
ton. But whether it remains dream or
not, it does not in any way impair the
genuineness and sincerity Of the feeling
that the canal should form the basis OF
better relations with the United States.
Reciprocally it is felt that the United
States should know more about Chill and
should welcome the extension OF her In

all the natural wealth Of the country does

though these draw from the country.
Country life centres in the "fundo,' or
big farming estate. Chill In this respect
is the place for the gentleman farmer.
The "fundo" is more like plantation In
the. South. The home Of the owner IS
built partly for the tropics and partly for
the temperate climate. and Is usually sur
rounded by fine garden OF exuberant
roses and other flowers. There are even
hedges of roses. Outbuildings are ar
ranged in the plantation manner, and the
picture is a patriarchal one. The system
is more than patriarchal, for IL is semi
feudal Many of the owners live in SAINT
ago-or Valparaiso. and look upon Their
"fundo" only as a country house, but for
the majority it appears to be real nome

bility of solving the crisis and getting
new set Of ministers together who can
obtain the favor of Congress.
During the present deadlock the intima-
ton has been made that Chilli is tired OF
this sort of political anarchy and that
public sentiment is ripening for a reform
i'm the system and the establishment OF
representative government, in which the
Executive will have some voice in the
making Of his Cabinet. Not unlikely, the

the train was in constant communication
with both stations.
The chief difficulty to train wireless-or
at least one OF the numerous obstacles
TO its successful use-was tine necessity
of equipping the train with very low
aerial. A vessels lofty mast presents a
far easier method of transmission than
does the 1s-ineh quadrangle OF wire that
is substituted for this on the roof OF the
speeding express train. But these low
aerials. when their natural limitations are
taken into account work with a surpris-
ing degree Of efficiency.

LANDED PRoPRIEToRs.

The big farmers or proprietors OF tbs

ment in CHILEAN affairs. They form
compact class, who act as unit where
their interests are concerned, and usually
they have their way Many of them are
Senators or Representatives in Congress.
and they are part OF whatever admins
tration may be managing the government.
They domiante the railway situation when
it comes 10 fixing freight rates.
Chill has no interstate commerce COM
mission. because the railroads are owned
and operated by the state. In the freight
schedules of the different classes of COM
modities agricultural products set very
low rates as compared with general mer-
chandise. This is due to the powerful
voice of the landed proprietors.
Most of the fundos are owned by pro-
gressive men who believe in advanced
agriculture, but they are not always able
TO carry out their ideas fully, owing To-
the indifference of the agricultural labor

the main dependence of Gillian agricult-
ure, though farm implement makers were
a long time In finding Il out. The CHILEAN,

there are other reasons for the preference
given to oxen. The general use of horses

A CHIEF GRIEVANCE.

The question of latitude is one Of the
first counts in the bill of grievances.
Writing here in the capital, two thousand
miles south Of the Equator. with fifteen
hundred miles of CHILEAN territory
stretching further south to the Strait Of
Magellan, this is easily understood. but
people several thousand miles north or
the Equator do not always recognize that
the larger part of Chilian territory comes
within the temperate zone. that in addi-
ton 10 the mineral resources there are
the products of the temperate climate
that the bulk of the population is within
that zone and has the vigor and vlrility
of the people of the temperate climates.
The barren nitrate region, incalculable
source of wealth, is tropical. but it does
not nourish men, and the population there
is trapstory. There are also the hardy
inhabitants of the long stretch of sea-
coast Moreover, the people of Chill are
homogeneous and not a mixture of races.
Out OF a homogeneous people comes a
vel-knit nation. For a homogeneous

Southern continent TO be classed as
tropical, with all the racial defects OF the

geographical ignorance. 1t becomes an
irritation that fills them with resentment
against the people of the countries who
are so poorly informed. Also 1t infiu-
erces their policies, though perhaps not
consciously
