WAV.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29—In a special message sent to congress Thursday President Harrison declared that the administration was satisfied with the answer made by Chili to the ultimatum of the United States of January 21. and with the message transmitted the answer aforesaid and the correspondence growing out oi it. The message had been so fully discounted by the newspapers that it aroused only passing interest anil was referred in each branch without comment. The message read:
The Mintage.
"To tin* senate and house of representatives: I transmit herewith additional correspondence between this government and the government of Chill, consisting of note of Mr. Monti, the Chilian minister at this capital, to Mr. Hlalue, dated Jauuary 23 a reply of Mr. Hlainc thereto of date of January £7: und a dinput ch from Mr. Egan, our minister at Santiago, transmitting the response of Mr. Perelra, the Chilian minister of foreign affairs, to the note of Mr. Ltlaluc of January 21, which was received by me on the 26th instant. The uote of Mr. Montt to Mr. Ulaine, though dated January 3. was not delivered ut the state department until after 12 o'clock meridian of the 25th, and was not translated and its receipt announced to me until late in the afiernoou of that day.
(IOOII Prospect for Peace*
•The response of Mr. Perelra to our note of the
'11 si
withdraws, with acceptable expressions
ot regret, the offensive note of Mr. Matta of the II Hi ultimo, aud also the request for the recall ot Mr. Kgan. The treatment oi the incident of the assault upon tho saitors of the Baltimore is so conciliatory and friendly that 1 am of the opinion that there is a good prosiect that the difference growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this government, by the usual methods and without special powers from congress. This turn in the affairs is very gratifying to me. as 1 am sure it will be to the congress and to our people. The general support of the efforts of the executive to enforce the just right of the nation in this mutter has given an instructive and useful illustration of the unity und putioiism of our people. Should it be necessary, will again communicate with congress upon the subject. "HKKJAMIN HAKHISOK. "Washington, Jan. 2$, iHtt."
Clint of the Correspondence. The president also sent to congress the additional correspondence in the Chili matter. First was Chili's answer to the ultimatum of the uist, dated January '25 and received at the state department January 20. It acknowledges the receipt of the instructions sent through Minister Egan, with the conclusions of President Harrison as stated in the former message and correspondence, but concludes as follows: "Without any intention of opening a discussion as to the facts referred to by the communication. widen 1 have extracted, and confining himself to the first part of the instructions of the honorable secretary of suite, the under-sic:n-d must state to your excellency tho regret with which the government of Chili sees that his excellency, the president of the t'nlted Suites, finds reason to continue to regard the Incldenrof October as an attack caused by a hostile feeling towards the uniform of me navy of the United States. That unfortunate occurrence took place on a sudden in a district where the sailors of the vessels lying ic the bay of Valparaiso are in the habit of assembling without distinction of nationality.*1
Not Against the United State*. Loiter l, received under date of January asserts that tho cause of the incident at Valparaiso was "not a hostile feeling toward the uniform of the l.'nitcd States, because the people of Chili have always esteemed and respected that uniform ever since the time when it saw it figuring honorably in the ranks of the soldiers and sailors who in a glorious struggle gave it independence and established the republic." It admits the occurrence of October 10 was of greater gravity than those which usually occur in the same district, and the fact that two deaths had resulted from it has sufficed to induce the government of Chili to hasten to adopt the measures necessary to discover and punish the guilty parties and offer such reparation as might be due. The Chilian government has been corn* .pelled to delay, greatly to its regret, the settlement of the difficulty and spontaneous offer of reparation for any injury done the sailors of the Haitimore. it concludes as follows:
Chill's Regrets.
•'In view of your communication, and con sidcring that up to date it has been impossible for the trial initialed by the judge of the criminal court of Valparaiso to bo decided, the undersigned regards it as his duty to declare once more that tho government of Chili laments the occurrence of October 16, and, by way of showing the sincerity of his feeling and the confidence which he has in the justice of his cause, he declares bis willingness not to a».ait the do vision of tlie examining judge and proposes to the United States govern me*!t that the case be submitted the consideration of the supreme court of justice ut Washington to the end that that high tribunal, with its learningand impartiality, may determine without uppeal whether there is any ground for reparation, and in what shape it should be made.1'
Some Allowance Should Be Made. The letter continuing refers to the civil war that Chili had just undergone and holds that some allowance should be made, as the poliee were not properly organized, nor did it have the necessary force to put down a disorder of such proportions. It adds that Chili does not tor a moment hesitate to condemn in vigorous terms the act com raittcd October 10 or to offer such repaI ration as is just.
The Mntta Note.k
Minister Pereia's note continues: "As for the dispatch addressed under date of tho 11 th of December to the Chilian minister in Washington by tbe minister of foreign relations with the provisional government, the undersigned submits that there could not be, on the part of the government of Chili, the purpose to iutlict any .offenso

United Suites, with which it desires ever to cultivate the most friendly relations. Consequently the undersigned deplores that in the telegram wero employed, through an error of [udgment, the expressions which arc offensive In the judgment of your government In fulfill' ment of a high duty of courtesy and sincerity toward a friendly nation the

Heslre for Our Friendship.
'The undersigned brings this already long communication to a close In the assurance that he has therein set forth everything that run fully satisfy your government. The government of Chili cherishes the couvlction that the relations with the government of the Unitod Statew should le sincerely and cordially maintained under the shelter of that mutual respcct and that good understanding which are based upon the just and equable appreciation of the facts, and on the appreciation to be given to the spontaneous declarations made on either side.

Nine Mem MOURISTOWS, Tenn.. Jan. 23.—The trial of Salton Hall, the man who is said to have killed ninety-nine men. commenced at Gladeville, Va.. Tuesday. The entire day was devoted to impaneling a jury. Wednesday was devoted to hearing testimony adduced by the prosecution and Thursday was devoted to the testimony for the defense. The case will be given to the jury to-day. The crime for which Hall is now being tried is the murder of Policeman Hylton, of Norton, Va., who had under arrest Miles Bates. Hall's alleged accomplice.

He has killed, it is said, a man in Catlettshurg, Ky., his stepfather, three cousins, two brothers-in-law, his second wife's first husband, his own first wife and a number of others. He assisted in the killing or wounding of ail the Floyd county (Va.) Jones faction, Shortly after that he killed the sheriff of Floyd county. Dick Nance, the Knott county desperado, was killed by Hall. He threw his half-brother, John Adams, from a window in Catlettsburg, Ky., and lie died from the injury received. Hall then returned to the mountains and met the wife of a.man named Saylor. Saylor was killed, and Hall left with the woman. He afterwards fell in with Milt Turner and killed him. He went to Coburn, Va., Ia6t summer and offered to kill Jesse Day for five dollars. From there he went to Norton and killed 1'oliceman Hylton.
The sheriff and a large posse are on guard over him to protect him from mob violence and to defeat his friends, who swear they will re) ease liim. Excitement is high, and there is talk of burning the jail in which he is confined.

The discussion of the report of the committee on rules occupied the remainder of the day and it was' during the afternoon that an adroit motion of Mr. Allen (Miss.) once more drew tlie attention of the house to the Chilian controversy. The Mississippi democrat moved tc amend the rules by increasing the membership of the committee on foreign affairs from thirteen to seventy-five, and the speech which followed was brimful of humor, the^members being convulsed with laughter at many points in his remarks. Mr. Allen said: "Mr. Speaker, the great struggle to whlcL thirteen men, the members of the foreign affair.^ committee, have been «u jected for the last few days has. prompted me. to offer thl amendment to increase their mcmler ship from thirteen to seventy-five [Luughtcr.l "We Have no right, sir, in judgment to impose so much responsibility ot thirteen men.
