Tlie Situation.

HOAX'S I.AST MKSSAUK.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.—Deeds, not words. This is the position of the. United States towards Chili. Minister Hgan lias delivered Ills last message but one to the government of 1'resident .Montt. The remaining one will be his demand for his passport, as minister, whenever congress acts. This is the exact situation as it was developed at the calinct meeting' Friday.

Chill'* Policy of Kvtiiiioii.

No satisfactory answer has been given to his communication early ill the week, when on behalf of the United States he asked for formal disavowal of the Malta insult and for some indication that the Chilian government intended to make reparation for the I'.altimore outrage. Evasive professions of friendliness have been tendered and that is all. Secrotary Blaine has kept the path of diplomacy open, and the minister remains at Santiago to receive any communication which tlie Montt administration may have to mnke. Hut this is all. The initiative in anything coneiliitory that follows must come from the Chilian authorities. (iuttlng Ready for War.

Meanwhile officials in Washington are not unaware of what is going on in Chili. They know that ordering Whitehead torpedoes is not the safest way of coming to a friondly understanding, but that is what the South American country has been doing. They are also informed of other preparations which fully justify everything that this government has been doing toward getting its navy in fighting shape.

Will Send In the Correspondence. It was the understanding at the cabinet meeting Friday that the correspondence would go into congress not. later than Wednesday of next week and possibly earlier. The government's investigation into tlie attack upon the Baltimore's sailors, conducted by Judge Advocate General Remy at San Francisco, having come to an end there is no reason why the facts thus elicited, which would seem to greatly strengthen the government's case, should not be incorporated in the documents sent to congress.

The President'* Position.

The president will, it is understood, take the ground that the outrages were premeditated and participated in by the Chilian police. He will show that the attack was made simultaneously in widely -separated localities wherever an American seaman could be found, one point of attack being separated from the others by 3 miles. The message will be accompanied by a number of photographs showing the character of the location where the assault occurred, and it will be seen that while some of the seamen were attacked in a disreputable quarter of the town others were set upon in the best, residence quarters. It is regarded as highly improbable

that these widely separated groups of seamen should all have born drunk

and should have brought the attack _Tlle

upon themselves. The correspondence will be accompanied by a statement. from the president outlining its leading features. What specific recommendations President ilarrison may have to make will depend on the developments of the next few days.

Little Chance of Apology,

Full consideration will be given any step toward reparation which the Chilian government may make. If it comes to its senses and promtly disa-vowsex-Minister Matta'sdiplomatic affront proper credit will be given for a friendly spirit. Any representation it may make of its intentions to go beyond the finding of Judge of Crimes Foster and the report of the procnratur fiscal will also be noted. But from the present outlook there is so little chance for apology that it is a waste of time to discuss these contingencies.

Will Depend on Ongrent.

The one satisfactory feature which the president will be able to note is the safety of tlie refugees, duo to the yielding of Chili to the demands of the United States. It will not be necessary for the president to ask authority from congress to withdraw she minister and break off diplomatic negotiations. He has that power in advance of any declaration of hostilities, but the intention is not to exercise it until sanctioned by congress.

Montt Seeking for Delay.

Minister Montt in Washington has redoubled his efforts to secure some modification in the ultimatum of the United States. He has made urgent. representations that the present government is doing all that the state of feeling in Chili will warrant it in doing to satisfy tlie demands of tlie United States. Uo is confident that if this country will only wait longer everything will be settled satisfactorily, but the minister himself does -not promise apology or the reparation which the United States holds due to it. Ho simply in--' il^es in generalities.

It is now admitted in high ofiicial circles here that Minister Montt has not been able to give entire satisfaction in anything and his plans for delay are futile.

Chlll'ii War Preparatloim.

That the Chilian government is not remaining idle during tlie progress of the warlike preparations of this country receives substantial confirmation from a cablegram received at the navy department Friday from Hoar Admiral Walker at Montevideo. Hear Admiral Walker informs the department that he has just learned the fact that a consignment of 100 Whitehead torpedoes has passed through Montevideo on iU war

WAR ON THE PENSIONERS.

The Society of Loywt Volunteer. Would Reduce the Government's Kxpeudlture*. WASHINGTON-, Jan. 10.—An attack is to be made on the pension sj stcm in this congress by an organization of exsoldiers known under the name of the Society of Loyal Volunteers This organization expects to be able to reduce the annual expenditures for pensions from §138,000,000 to SMS,000,000, or 550,000,000 at most. The object of the society is to preveut pensions being paid to any except disabled soldiers. It is claimed that there are thousands of soldiers who are physically able to support large families who are getting pensions. The society would pay pensions only to soldiers who are incapable, from physical disability incurred by the war, to support themselves. The organization had its inception in Washington. but has extended already to several states.

After the adoption of these resoln ttons the house took up for consideration the reports of the committee on accounts assigning clerks to the various committees of the house, and a discussion ensued as to whether there was not extravagance in the. assignments. The minority substitute providing for twenty-four clerks was defeated —yeas, S4 nays, 104—and the majority report, which provides for thirty-seven clerks, was agreed to. A bill directed against gambling in grain was introduced in the house. -This gambling, according to the bill, is defined to be a contract to sell for future delivery corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley and other grain, the contractor or seller not being the owner or agent of the owner at the time of the making of the contract. The bill excludes from the mails any letters, postal cards or circulars concerning gambling in agricultural products, and cheeks, drafts, hills, money, postal notes or money orders for use for such purposes. It also excludes from the mails newspapers, circulars, pamphlets or publications of any kind containing advertisements, telegraphic reports or other articles giving quotations of any market relating to gambling in agricultural products.

LONDON, Jan. III.—THE decorous fie-) tion that the whole nation is over-

now holding their annual meeting at

Stoke-on-Trent were apprised before

to suftuse the l»ody made the proposal hazardous, but. it was hoped that the delegates would not venture to deviate from the general custom by declaring that a death in the royal family was no particular business of theirs. This is exactly what they did. A telegram from their parliamentary leader. Mr. Pickard, himself ill with influenza, aske.il for a vote of sympathy with the royal family, adding, "the queen has always expressed sympathy with

Ituslnesn.

Cries of business" greeted tlie message. The member who moved the vote of condolence reminded the delegates that the oueen in cases of accidents in mines had always helped the distressed. In sullen silence the conference listened to speeches in favor of the. motion, ami then by a vote of 10 to 13 passed without debate an amendment to proceed to business.

The Miners' federation has 200,000 members and it is the best organized and most powerful single union in the country. It has several representatives in the house of commons and controls the votes of others. No workmen's combination has so freely given to the distressed in or outside of its own ranks or shown a keener perception of the sufferings of the proletariat. Interference with the family affairs ot royalty being felt to be beyond them, they honestly said so. If all of the trades unions of Great Britain were similarly tested the result would be similar. The delegates immediately proceeded to vote sympathy with and substantial help for the starving nailmakers of the Midland districts who have long been on strike.

Evliifiiven of Sorrow.

The upper and middle classes are most keenly touched by the incidents of the duke of Clarence's death. Thousands clad in mourning have flocked to Marlborough house to record their names, and throughout, the capital well-dressed folk generally are donning some badge of grief. The Gazette directs that all persons wear mourning until February 2S. while detailed orders are given to the court and to the army.

The latest announcement from Sandringham is that Dr. Laking is detained watching the princess of Wales and princess May, fearing that influenza may attack them. Prince George, who is still weak from his attack of typhoid fever, is also the cause of anxiety. The doctors have advised the prince of Wales as soon as possible lo remove his family from the. scene of affliction.

Arranging tlie Funeral.

The queen has not yet decidcd on the date of the funeral, but it will probably be Thursday next. Cabinet communications with the prince ol Wales and the queen on the plan of in-1 terment have elicited an expression of feeling from the prince of W.-ile^i against any ceremonial pomp.

The king of Denmark telegraphs that he desires personally to attend I he funeral if his strength permits, and that he will be accompanied by the) Danish crown prince, with his eldest son, Prince Charles. The czar will send his second son. The flay of the funeral will be observed as a day of general mourning throughout th" country. The governments of A ustralia are arranging to suspend husiness.

Jan. 1(1.—The spaciops vestibule of the archicpiscopal palace has been thronged all day with mourners for the death of Cardinal Manning.

RRAINAIIO, Minn.. Jan. 10.—A frightful railroad accidcnt occurred on the Northern Pacific road 7 miles cast ol Bralnard at 4 o'clock a. in. Friday The second section of No. 9, with the Andrews opera company on board, left West Superior at midnight for Grand Forks. Near Jonesville the train struck a broken mil, the engine and baggage car passing over iu safely, but the sleeping car was derailed and ran some :t00 feet on the ties when it toppled over, breaking loose from the train, and went down an embankment some five feet high, lying on its side.

Tlie ltuliiH Take Fire.

In a minute all was confusion. The sleeping inmates realized their peril. The Pullman conductor. Herbert Scott, was one of the. first lo get outside, and when he did so no lire was visible, but as soon as windows were broken to liberate those inside Haines shot out, and in very short order the car was enveloped.

Into the llltter Cold.

Willing hands of trainmen soon liberated those who were unable to extricate themselves, but none were able to save their clothes and the night being the coldest of the season, the thermometer reaching 40 below, the suffering of the injured wns terrible.

Humeri In tha Wreck.

At this time it was discovered that Mrs. Kd Andrews and Lillie Was wenmissing. but no human effort could render them assistance, as the car wa« a mass of flames. The injured were placed in a baggage-car and brqughl tc lirainard and quartered at the Turlington hotel. A list of the dead and injured, so far as obtained, is as follows

Coldest Wenth«rln Several Year* Throughout the Northwest. ST. PAVI,, Minn., Jan. 10.—As stated in these dispatches the present cold wave is the most severe that has been experienced in the northwest for several years. The cold continued Friday. Ueports from all parts of the northwest show temperature ranging from zero in Montana to 50 below in Manitoba, while in this state and the Dakotas the range of the mercury was 15 to 35 below. with a few points reporting colder weather. A storm area in Montana kept the temperature high enough, but it is not strong enough to affect the cold here materially, and warmer weather is not looked for until Sunday at the earliest. In this city Friday morning the thermometer registered from 20 to .'SO below, depending on the exposure. Fortunately very little wind was stirring, so that, as people are generally well bundled up, there lias been little suffering except among the very poor from lack of fuel.

MOXTICELLO, 111., Jan. 16.—The thermometer registered '/7 degrees below zero Friday morning, the coldest weathCr that has been experienced here for eleven years. Ice is twelve inches thick. The greatest ice crop ever secured is being put up.

DANVILLE, 111., Jan. 16. —Early Friday morning it was 16 degrees below zoro. Fifteen freight engines on the Chicago A- Ka.stern Illinois railroad froze down between Danville and Chicago.
