TIIKY' DOX'T HANI KG A N. \VASIIINHTON, Jan. ti"!. The. rorall of Minister Kgau was formally requested of Secretary Blaine Friday li.v Minister Montt, at the head of the Chilian legation in this city. It is said the Chilian government base their request for the recall- l" Mr. ICgau upon the allegntK"-^ thai the American niiniMcr has

M:»j- I' rii-i iit atr a CrlaiA.

The action on the part of the Chilian government, which is the first ofii,' ..1 indication of their dissatisfaction with Minister F.gan, will have a tendency to precipitate a crisis in the relations of the two countries. It is taken in oflicial circles to indicate that Chili does not intend to make reparation or apology for the Baltimore incident unless it can attach conditions which will preserve the pride of the government of that country and enable it to retain the respect and support of the people, who would resent an unqualified apology.

Another IteaHun.

Another reason which, it is said, was alleged for asking for Mr. Egan's recall was the note sent to the Chilian government by hira October 2(1, which Senor Matta designated as aggressive in design and violent in language. This was the first official notice taken by Mr. ICgan of the Baltimore affair, and it was prepared by express instructions of Assistant Secretary Wharton under date of October 2:. This letter of instructions was the one gener ally attributed to President Harrison, and Mr. Egan's note to Senor Matta was an almost exact reproduction of the. terms employed in it. This incident, under the conditions prevailing, comes perilously near a suspension of communication between the two countries, and the developments of the next day or two will be awaited with much interest.

The case of the United States against Chili is closed. While peace talk based on intangible conditions tills the air the ultimatum has gonu to Minister Egan which will shortly bring a that will

making reports te Washington that were deliberately false, ami of engaging in intrigues for the purpose of creating trouble between the United States and Chili.

Minister

When the cabinet met Friday morning Minister Montt had not got to the point of.making this request oflicially, so there was no occasion to consider it. Secretary Maine stated briefly the substance of the ultimatum which had been sent for Minister Egan to present to Foreign Minister Pereira. It was approved, and after a very brief discussion of the president's message the cabinet adjourned. The belief of all o£ President Harrison oflicial family was that there would be no war, because the formal presentation of the ultimatum would bring the needed reply from Chili. It is an official notice that there is no further basis for diplomatic correspondence or negotiations between the two countries until Chili makes a satisfactory reply,

A CLOSE CALL.

Terrible Kxperlence of a Diver at the Waterworks Crib in Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—A diver named Scully was employed at the 2-mile crib to go below the surface of the lake and remove the ice from the gates through which water is pumped into the tuunel. The suction from the pumps was so great as to draw him into the port-hole. A portion of his suit caught,and prevented him from being drawn bodily into the tunnel. His comrades above could not release him and word of his situation was telephoned ashore. Immediately every engine at the various pumping works was stopped thus causing the suction to cease, when Scully was pulled to the surface after having remained in his perilous position for an hour and a half. lie was unconscious, but was soon restored. He felt no bad effect of his struggle with death save some bruises caused by the ice crushing him against the top of the port-hole.

SIX MEN KILLED.

"""•"Hid Hid Money in (Jiillt. Jrcri'ER.soNVH.i.E, Ind., Jan. -j:i. Warden I'atton left for Sullivan Thursday, having in custody John Dean, a convict. Dean was received at the prison June 2tf, 1891, to serve .five years, lie was convicted of stealing $4,200 from Jack Martin, his brother-in-law. Martin's wife is an invalid, and Mrs. Dean, wife of the prison-r er, attended her wants. In this way she became familiar with the sick chamber. Martin, who is a miser, was known to hide his money, and in one instance he chose a bed-quilt. Mrs.

Dcun threw this "quilt outside the window, where her husband was iu waiting. and after he had relieved it of its treasure the quilt was returned. The money was deposited to Dean's credit in a Vinccnnes lank. Martin discovered his loss, an,l suspicion pointing strongly to the IVans they were arrested. Mrs Deau sUmtly denied the theft, claiming it was a gift from Mrs. Martin. Dean at.d his wife were jointly indicted, but while Dean was convicted the charge, still hangs over his wife. Dean was successful in securing a new trial on the ground of alleged error in instructing the jury, besides which the credibility of the prosecuting witness (Martin) was also attacked. The Deans are of good family, while Martin is said to be the wealthiest uian in Sullivan county. Since Dean's conviction thieves entered Martin's house and stole Sil.OOO cash, which was found in an old trunk. Over S2,00l) in gold was secreted in another part of the trunk which the thieves overlooked.

Shortage of .Treasurer.

WASHINGTON, Ind., Jan. '^S.—Another chapter is added to the Daviess county courthouse sensation. The investigation of the books of ex-Auditor Lavellc and ex-Treasurer Smith, which was ordered last August and which precipitated the courthouse fire, has resulted in a finding of a shortage in the accounts of Smith amounting tc £4,00(1. This Smith is trying to make up. It will bt remembered that following the fire ex-Auditor Lavellc, his brother, Mike Lavelle, Aaron 1!. Uawes, Basil Ledger wood and Sam Harbin were arrested, charged with arson ami mutilating public records. The two latter pleaded guilty and implicated the others, whom they sairi hired them to set lire to the courthouse. They were recently sentenced to the penitentiary for seventeen years each on pleas of guilty. The others will be tried in March. Lavelin'f. books are found in a very rotten condition, hut no otHc'nl report has yet been made by the experts. Smith's shortage is a great surprise to every one.. He is not in any way connected with the courthouse fire, and creditshis shortage to the auditor.

IMHA.NAI'OI.IS, Irid., Jan. 2S. —Ill the surgical institute which burned Thurs- I day night at midnight., score of helpless, crippled children, inmates ol the institution, lost tlieir lives, and! as mhriv more persons were injured, some of them badly most of them slightly. Two hundred and forlysix patients and thirty nurses, sleeping in the two four-story buildings nt the corner of Illinois and Georgia streets, in which the institute is located, were in imminent danger of their lives. y-- A Sorrowful story.

Their rescue, the tight with iiie. flames, and the filial discovery of the charred remains of the poor, dead chil- I dren wrapped in each others' withered arms, make a story rarely paralleled in the annals of modern cities. It was almost on the stroke of 12 when Janitor Gill gave the alarm, instantly followed by the second and third. The telephone had conveyed to the chief the news that the building of all others where, fire was dreaded was in flames. This meant no ordinary danger. It proved to be a holocaust.

Some were killed by jumping, but the others were suffocated or burned to death. The list of identified dead is:

They were roasted alive, the skin having peeled oft" from the bodies. In a few instances their faees were burned off.

Origin ol Ibf ir»'.

The tire started just before midnight, and the lirst aiarm was ijuickly followed by second, third and fourth calls. From all that can be ascertained it is probable that the fire originated in the room where the printing matter, circulars. etc., were kept. This is oil the ground floor in the rear of the main building. Mrs. Copeland, one of the rescued attendants, said that an hour before the alarm of fire was turned in the night watchman came to her room and asked her if she was burning paper. She told hiin that she was not and in a few minutes he again asked her. This proves that the fire had been smoldering for some time.

Tlie Search for (lie Ditud.

As soon as the hallways had been sufficiently cleared of the smoke to permit an investigation some of the most horrible scenes were developed. In one room on., the third floor four victims were fouud dead kneeling in the attitude of praj-cr. The windows in the room were up, but their occupants had apparently made no efforts to escape nor appeal for rescue. The stifling smoke hart overtaken them, and seeing no avenue of escape had become resigned to their fate, and as a last hope muttered a prayer to heaven begging the interference of Providence in their behalf. .In a room on the second floor a man was 'ounrt in hod dead. The smoke had fouud its way into the room slowly uil he us| gradually overcome, expiring without a struggle. Further along the hallway a young man was found sitting beside an open window, his dead body leaning forward. There seemed to be no good reason for this loss of life, as all those who iippeared at the windows were quickly saved. Although the occupants were nearly all more or less seriously crippled many of them became so frantie that they lost ail self-control and almost invited death by their action. They would rush to a wiudow, cast their eyes below, and realizing that a leap was almost certain death retreated at once into the room and faced the resuit desperately. (.lioultt nt Work.

Early Friday morning ghouls began their work among the ruins and no small amount of jewelry and valuables was pilfered by the thieves. Detectives arrested a man who gave his name as Russell. They found him rtttnaging among the debris and in his pockets were money and other valuables which it was thought he had stolen from the effects of the pa-! tients.

The Supreme Court Adjourn*. The snpreniefcotirl adjourned immediately after assembling until Tuesday, next, the chief justice announcing the loss which had been sustained by the' court and the country.

Ouciition of SitcccHMor.

The probability that Justice Bradley would not long be able to continue his judicial duties has been discussed MIKV the opening of the October term, and various successors have been suggested. The circuit, represented by Justice Bradley comprises Pennsylvania. Delaware and New Jersey. It, is thought that Pennsylvania may get the place. Chief Justice Paxton or Judge Mitchell of the supreme court of Pennsylvania are •prominently mentioned. If the selection should be made from New Jersey the appointment, will probably go to Judge. Green, district jiidge of New Jersey, whom President Harrison would have appointed to the circuit bench had he. not decided lo appoint a democrat from that circuit. If the president goes outside the circuit the probability is that Attorney General Miller will be. Justice Bradley's successor. If ex-Senator Fdmunds would accept he could undoubtedly be appointed, but Air. Kdmunds has always said he did not care for the bench. Secretary
