It HIcUmmI of Withdrawal Unsatisfactory Another Incident at Valparaiso. Pperial to the. Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 17. The Chilian situation has not been improved by the development of the past few days, which have just come to light. As was Btated a few days ago, the off ensive notoofSenor Alutta, Minister of Foreign Allairs in the provisional government of Chili, despite the report to the contrary, had not been then withdrawn or disavowed. A day or two ago. however, Senor Pedro Montt. the Chilian minister, was instrncted by his home government to withdraw it. but it is understood tho ofler of withdrawal was accompanied by conditions and explanations of the Chilian government which wero unsatisfactory to tho United States government. Minister Fgan was instructed, it is understood, to communicate to Senor Fiereira, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the dissatisfaction of this government with the terras of withdrawal, out his interview with that oflicial is said o have resulted in no modification of the instructions to Senor Montt which would render them acceptable to the United States. No confirmation can bo had of tho report that Minister Kagan has cornmnnicated to President Harrison an intimation that the Chilian government is on the verge of dissolving and that this fact prevented the President from submitting the Chilian correspondence to Congress last week. It is most improbable, although tho belief that a change of administration in Chili is a matter of a short lime only, is held by gome well informed persons in Washington. But Mr. Egan does not communicate with l'reaident Harrison; his dispatches are to the Secretary of State, and such a breach as communicating with the President would he suUicieni, rei?on for his immediate recall. Such a dispatch as that indicated has not been received at tho department, at least the ollicials deny ali knowledge of it. Secretary Tracy to-night made publiothe following dispatch, dated Jan. 6, he had received from Commander Evans, of the Yorktown, now at Valparaiso, Chili, in regard to the Balmacedist refugees put on board that vessel by United States Minister Egan And the Spanish minister: -The American minister informs me that the Chilian Minister of Foreign Allairs has changed his mind abont the refugees now on the Yorktown, and that they rnav be taken out of any merchant vessel touching at a Chilian port by the local authorities. Arrangements had been made for all of them to sail to-day. but this change of base on the part of the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs compels me to keep them, which crowds roe rary much. Shall I land them at Callao. Peru, or Molendo, Pern. No steamers from here go direct to neutral territory. This unexpected act of the Chilian Minister 61 Foreign Ali airs is due, he statee, in part, to my saluting the Spanish minister when he came on board to deliver the two refugees. 1 have requested the American minister to say to the Minister of Foreign Affairs that I am responsible to my own government and not to that of Chili in such matters, and that I consider his criticism ottensive, and 1 will not accept it. His action seems unworthy of the representative of a serious government." The action on the part of SenorPereira, the Chilian Minister of Foreign Atlairs.in deciding that the refugees might be taken out of any merchant vessel touching at a Chilian port by the local authorities was a great fmrprise to the officials in Washington. Secretary Tracy said to-night that he will send a reply to Cammander Evans tomorrow morning, instructing him what to do in the matter. There was no ground for offense to the Chilian government in the action of Commander Evans saluting the Spanish minister when tho latter came on board to deliver the two refugees who had been under his care. The naval regulations require commanders of vessels to extend the courtesy to a visiting dignitary. Tho latest move of the Chilian government. as voiced by its Minister of Foreign Allairs in the present case, is very unsatisfactory to such of those officials in Washington as are willing to express themselves with respect to the matter. Secretary Tracy evidently regretted what had occurred and seemed to think it an affront to the Nation. Neither Secretary Blaine nor Minister Montt had any news bearing on the Chilian situation for the press to-night. IN CASE OF WAlt ONLY. YThen Political Disabilities of Ex-Con federates May Be Removed by Congress. Special to ths Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 17. No action will bo taken on the bill of Representative Herbert of Alabama to remove the political disabilities of the ex-confederates, unless war is actually declared with Chili, and that is sot at all probable. Efforts have been made from time to time during the past ten years or more to pass a measure of this kind, and private bills enabling individuals named to hold commissions in the army and navy who were in the confederate service havo been pushed with great vigor, and behind them have been many circumstances in extenuation of their ottenses against the federal government, yet they have all been refnsed. Now there is a much Letter feeling existing toward the proposition as presented by General llerbert. but Mr. Outhwaite. chairman of the House committee on military affairs, and members of the Senate committee on military affairs say the Herbert bill will not be passed before we have declared war with Chili, in which event tho bill will go through both houses in a day. In other words, the majority in Congress say they do not want political disabilities removed till there is immediate use for tho military services of the ex-confederates. Italian Cardinals. Boston Transcript. The late Cardinal Simeoni was one of the many accomplished statesmen and diplomatists who havo shaped the councils of the Vatican. Ho was withal a profound scholar in mere than ouebranch of learning, and was a brilliant example of the Italian ecclesiastics 7-ho. from the Vatican, give spiritual law to millions and reserve the choicest places of the church for themselves. Of the sixty-four cardinals of tho Sacred College, more than half are Italians, a preponderance significant of an intention not to break the long line of Italian pontiffs. Thero is still one English cardinal left in theSacred College, Cardinal Howard, who represents the English Catholio aristocracy, as Cardinal Manning stood for English Catholio intellect The French cardinals are second in number to the Italians, but at such a distance as not to threaten the preponderance of thelatter.

MANY TOOK A FINAL LOOK

Cardinal Manning's Remains Viewed by Thousands of Workins People. Dnke of Clarence's Foneral to Be Less Ostentations than First Planned Tributes from Canon F&rr&r&nd Others Socialist Row. EYING IN STATE. Cardinal Manning's Body Viewed by 50,000 Persons Tributes from the Pulpit. Epf clal to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 12. Not less than 50.000 persons viewed the body of Cardinal Manning to-day, lying in stato in thechapel at the Cardinal's house at Westminister. Most of the visitors were working people, and many of them testified by their tears to their affection for the departed prelate, an aflection, apparently, which had nothing to do with religion, as it was evident that the large majority had come irrespective of religious faith. Among the visitors were leaders of nearly every trade organization in London, and outside they could be heard expressing in earnest tones their appreciation of the dead Cardinal's services to the cause of labor. Chief Rabbi Nathan M. Adler alluded in his services on Saturday to tho breadth and humanity of Cardinal Manning's mind, and especially to his cordial support of the eflort to obtain amelioration of the condition of the persecuted Hebrews of Russia. In most of the ohurches and chapels there was some mention of tho Cardiual as well as of the Duke. Archdeacon Farrar, in his sermon at Westminster Abbey td-day, after a feeling allusion to the death of the Duke of Clarence, spoke of the late Cardinal Manning as that "beloved Cardinal who did such noble servico to the country and to the church, who deserved so greatly tho gratitude and respect of all Englishmen, and who took part in eo great and generous hchemes for the benefit of the laborers and the poor." NO PUD LIC PARADE. The Dead Prince's Remains Not to Be Taken Through the Streets of London. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Jan. 17. General disappointment was expressed to-day when it became known that the body of the Duke of Clarence would not be brought to London, but would be conveyed direct from Sandringham to St. George's Chapel, Windsor. This is said to have been decidedat the instance of the Princess of Wales, who was opposed to having her son's funeral made the occasion of a public parade through the stroe.s of London. It is also intimated that persons near to royalty feared that Socialists or others of extremely radical sentiments might attempt a demonstration that would shock the already overstrained feelings of the royal family, it is said that the police have been apprehensive of this, and, in case of a London funeral display, the utmost precautions wonld have been taken. Anxiety was attain aronsed to-day as to the Queen's health by the news that she wonld not go to Windsor on the occasion of the interment. The reason assigned is that royal physicians consider the weather too inclement for her Majesty to face tho exposure of the journey and the ceremony in her present frame of mind. While tbe Queen is officially declared to be well it is known that her physicians are in daily attendance and constantly consulted by those who surround her as to what she should do. The coffin containing the body of the Duke now rests in Sandringham Church. No notice was given of the time of the removal. At 10 o clock on Friday night the great doors of the hall opened and the head servants appeared, bearing the coflin, which they solemnly carried to tho church. .The officers of the household accompanied tho procession. The church was draped in .mourning, and the candles there waved a llickering light on the scene. There was no ceremony, the coffin being laid on a raised platform, on which it will remain until the removal to Windsor on Wednesday morning. Yesterday the Prince and Princess of Wales, his surviving children, and tho Dnke of Fife, and the Prince and Priucess of Teck, and j Princess May attended a memorial service in tho church. There appears to be doubt whether the bereaved Princess will attend the burial at Windsor. In most of the churches and chapels today rof erence was made to the death of tho Dnke. Canon Farrar preached in Westminster Abbey to a multitudnthattbronged every foot of space. He touchinaly alluded to the loss which the royal family had suffered and to the sympathy which went out from all grades and classes of peoplo to tbe Prince aud Princess of Wales, to tho betrothed deprived by death of the princely youth who had sought her hand in marriage and to the venerable Que?n. The Canon spoke of the deeeated, his pure and blameless character and his sincere efforts to tit himself for the august place which he would have occnpled. The Canon was loyal and touching without being sycophantic, and he was listened to with tbe closest attention. In the churches of Dublin also the death of tbe Duke was a themo with nearly all tho pastors. The Lord Lieutenant and his wife attended St. Patrick's, which was draped in mourning. This and the other Episcopal chnrcbes were more than usually thronged on aoconnt of the occasion. T. P. O'Connor, in to-oay's Sunday Sun, says, in the course of a sympathetic article discussing the death of the Dnke of Clarence: T think tbat the men who regard monarchy as the highest embodiment of that ineqnslity of elassos which is one of the great evil forces that reformers would have destroyed, are those who feel the deepest sympathy with royalty in its personal bereavements. Those neither desiring nor asking anything of royalty are much readier to see the man and woman bohind the Prince and Princess, and to give that sympathy which common experience enables them to ofler. Tbe grief over the death of the Duke of Clarence is not wholly free from a desire to atono for a strong impression that his life was not quite so happy as it might havo beet.. He was supposed to be unintellectual, and some very stupid people found this tbe occasion for a sneer, as though there were not plenty of fellows with an abundance of brains who possess neither conscience nor heart. Tho Duke was slighted by somo of his foreign relatives as well as by some of his subjects. Put since bis death his real character has become better understood. It is clear tbat he was an affectionate, warm-hearted lad, deeply attached to his mother and all his family, and standing first in their aliections, as well as in those of many other relatives. His name will go down in history as that of one honored and loved." SOCIALIST HEADS 1IIIOKEN. Usual Sunday Row with the Police at Worldsend Proposed Demonstration. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . London. Jan. 17. The Socialist leaders held a meeting at their headquarters today to decide upon the plan of the great socialistic labor demonstration which it is proposed to hold in defiance of the prohibition of the police, on Sunday, Jan. SI, at Worldsend, Chelsea, and it is expected that 800,000 people will take part. John Hums raised his voice against tbe project. He declared that while he would not hesitate to have a brush with the police whenever it was necessary to do so in resisting an unwarranted attack, yet ho would not approve the Inception and carrying out of a movement not essential to the well-being of the organization, and in direct violation ot a police order given fairly in advance. The question being put to a vote, a majority favored the holdinaof the meeting, and there is no longer any doubt that thero will be a collision on that day between the police and the crowd. There was the usual row at Worldsend to-day that there has been for many Sundays past. The Socialist gathered and Mr. Watts, secretary of the organization, began to harangue the meeting. Ho was at once arrested. The mob made a rush for the platform, and attempted to resone tho prison. The police hsuX to use their

batons freely, breaking many heads before they got clear of tho crowd. The meeting was soon broken up. German Anarchists Arrested. Berlin, Jan. 17. Several Anarchist agitators were arrested at Wiesenthal, yesterday, for inciting colliers, who had been on strike and had resumed work, to again leave the mines. The supporters of the agitators attempted to prevent the arrests and surrounded the accused, defying tbe gen-darmes. Their numbers were formidable, and for some time they succeeded in keeping the representatives of the law at bay. but the latter, being finally reinforced, the riotous miners were forced to abandon the unequal contest and disperse. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

No Hitch In the llehrlng Sea Negotiations, So the London Times Says. London. Jan. 18. The Times says: "Reports that there is a hitch in the Behring sea negotiations are entirely unfounded. The joint commission in Washington will prepare a report embodying all tho facts disclosed by the examination and any recommendations upon which the British and American representatives are able to agree. Points on which they disagree the commissioners will be at liberty to refer to their respective governments. The wbolo work will probably occupy ten days. It ia believed that Sweden, Switzerland and Belgium will be asked to name an arbitrator, but this point has not been entered upon as yet. None of the powers concerned has signified an intention to depart from the arrangements agreed upon." . Makes War for the Slaves It Drlngs. Madrid. Jan. 17. It is said the Sultan of Morocco has received through the French minister an intimation from tbe French government that it would not bo well for him to attempt to coerce the rebellious Kabylls, as the French expect to compel the Kabylls to return to peace. This tbe Sultan looks upon as an invasion of his rights instead of an offer to save him from trouble. The Sultan takes pleasure in warring against the rebellions tribes, as he thereby reaps a bountiful crop of slaves. Le Claire, of Paris, has a dispatch saying tbat a plot atrainst the Sultan of Morocco has been discovered at Fez, and that thirty persons have been arrested on the charge of being implicated in it. Conclusion of the Treaty Delayed. Paris, Jan. 17. Unavoidable delay has arisen in the conclusion of tho treaty of commerce between France and the United States. It is now expected tbat a satisfactory settlement will bo reached within ten days. It is believed that when Foreign Minister Ribot lays the matter belore the Chamber of Deputies the ultra-protectionists will attack the government with vehemence. The agreement, although hardly favorable to France, will retain a secure majority. Ravaged by Diphtheria. Belgrade. Jan. 17. Servia is ravagedby diphtheria.

MB. HOLMAN'S' LIBERALITY

Story-Teller AYho Says tho "Objector' Spends Thousands in Ills District. Bow Be Secured an Audience in a Republican Community Taking Up & Collection to Purchase a Cow for a Poor Widow. STORY FOR THE MARINES. An Indiana Democrat Who Says Holm an Is Lavish In Spending Money In Ills District. Elf rial to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 17. Some Indiana Democrats were on tho floor of the House the other day, relating campaign anecdotes, when one of them said: "Don't you mislead yourself about the political cunning of William S. Holman, of this House. I know ho is prond of the title 'objector,' and loves to pare down appropriations and be called 'the watch-dog of the Treasury and all that, but he spends more money than any of ns in a campaign. He stints himself in tho extreme by daily living, but when he enters his campaigns for re-elec-ticn he never stops at the cost when his re election is at stake. To look at the man, and see his work here one would think he was the stingiest man on earth that ho would squeeze a penny till the head of the goddess would turn in disgust. He has spent as much as 3,C00 in a single county in one campaign, I am told by his constituents. "1 remember one instance," continued the member, of where Judge Holman let himself down handsomely, financially speaking. He was in danger of dofeat, and was compelled to make a largo gain in a Republican stronghold of the district. There was so much Republicanism in that community that the Judge- knew he could get no one out to hear him sneak, if ho simly announced a political meeting with a emocratic speaker. So ho had it announced that there wonld be a meeting at thescbool-honsofor the purpose of raising money to buy a cow for a poor widow who had lost her principal means of support in an accident. The peoplo turned out till the house was full. Judge Holman got up and told a very beautiful story about the widow's cow, and what a hardship she had suffered in her loss. He then proposed to start the contributions with $20. That was almost enough to buy the animal, and it only became necessary for the others present to contribute 10 or 25 cents each. When the amount desired was placed in the hat their Congressman arosoto thank the concourse, and from the widow's cow he drifted into politics. He held the crowd spellbound for two hours. It was not till after the election that the real object of his visit to the community became apparent. The Holman vote was largely increased." LITTLE DIFFERENCE. rrescnt Method of Choosing Senators Compared with the Plan Proposed by Palmer. Erecial lo the Xadianpolla Journal. Washington, Jan. 17. "I wouldn't give a toss-up between the present system and the proposed law to elect by a direct vote of the people7 said Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota in speaking to-day of the bill now pending in the Senate, which proposed to elect United States Senators by a direct Yote of the people, instead of through the State legislatures. "There are advantages in both systems." continued the Senator, "and there aro serious objections. The most serious objection under tho present system is the thwarting of the will of the peoplo now and then. It is very provoking for the majority of a State to want a certain man for Senator and get some one they do not want Yes, if the bill proposing an amendment to the federal Constitution making it competent for tho people to elect Senators at the polls should pass I have no doubt tho various legislatures would ratify it and it would become law, for it would not do to defeat an opportunity for tbo people to have more men to elect to office. 1 don't bolieve tho Senators themselves would seriously object to it. lint thero are, as I have 6ald, two sides to the questiou. "It is easier to 'set np' a convention; or a mass-meeting, or 'fix a primary than it is to overcome a legislature That is my judgment of the matter. I never tried either, but I have seen the working of all sorts of political bodies. In most States it is almost impossible at this ago of the world to use money in electing a United States Senator. It is more dangerous, too, than it is doubtful, if poesible. Senatorial contests are also fought out at tho polls now, the same as they would be under a law providing for election by the peoplo. Candidates in tbe first place put np their men at the primaries or in convention, and the contest for election to tho legislature, when a Senator Is to be elected, is drawn sharply npon personal lines. It is political, rocial and business doath for a member of the legislature to violate his instructions at the polls or in convention. Few intellif ent men will risk it, even if we do not consider tbo moral Question involved in receiving a brile. So far as lam concerned I would rather try to improperly influence people at the polls or in convention than at a State legislature. Resides, when one is elected at tho polls thero in a multitude of machinery and intricacy which will cover up misgivings and Intrigue, wbiloat the legislature the chances are few." "Do you think the bill will passf "1 doubt it. If it got through tho Senato I don't believe it would pass tbe House. I have found little objection to it in the Senate; and the objections raised to it I find come from the constituents of the Senators. They themselves cm havo no objections. In fact I do not seo that the Senators have the right to say how they shall be elected. That is a prcrogativo which belongs to the voters." .

The Secretary Gave the General No Hint Concerning the Presidential Nomination. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 17. The Tribune to-morrow will publish an authorized interview with Gen. R. A. Alger, who has just returned to Washington, in which ho makes known the result of his recent conference with Secretary Rlaine. "I saw Mr. Blaine." said the General, "but he said nothing to me that would furnish any indication as to whether he will be a candidate for tbe Presidency or not. My impression is that Mr. Blaine would be glad to be relieved from the responsibility of being a candidate, but if the Minneapolis convention shall demand that he accept tho nomination I believe he is too patriotic to refuse. I am not authorized to speak for Mr. Blaine in any way and this is simply a personal opinion." "How about the Chilian war talk?" "There is a good deal of it in Washingington and war may be the outcome of the present situation. The army and nayy are natuarally in favor of it and their influence is being felt. But it does not seem to me tbat we havo yet exhausted the legitimate and proper means for effecting a peaceful settlement of our difficulties with Chili." -MODERN ADVERTISING.

Advertisers Do Not Take the Right View of the Pnblic, and Often Make Mistakes. Philadelphia rress. When ono notices the grotesquely elaborate, and at times otlensively prominent, advertisements that obtrude upon you at home or abroad, the question of whether it pays or not forces itself irresistibly on one. The average tourist, and, indeed, the average citizen the one as be enters, the other as ho treads, tho streets of the city is apt to become digusted when the merits of the Aphrodite Sea Lather Soap glare at him from gambrel roofs, dead walls and all the avail able fence spaces. This disgust is in direct proportion to tbe virtues of the advertised article, till, like tbe ancient Greek who black-balled Aristides because he wastired of hearing hira called "The Just." one for very spite would not use tbe Aphrodite Soap simply on account of. its offensive advertising. Believing this as a layman it is refreshing to know that suoh a veteran in advertising as M. M. Gillarn scorns even to think of the rock surface and roof-top method, but says: "For a general business I believe there is but one perfectly satisfactory medium the daily newspaper. Thero is a tendency to magnify tbe art and darken the mystery of advertising. I look upon an advertisement in its best form,' most wisely placed, as simply tbe result of an exercise of common sense based on experience. The publio is credited with being moody, capricious, whimsical almost anything that will excuse the miscarriage of an advertisement." Not only is the public credited with being moody, capricious and whimsical by many who advertise, but apparently with being idiots. That they are not so was observed by Richard Mansfield, who, in common with other leading actors and managers, has carried on a war against the gaudy, glittering aud sometimes vulgar theatrical poster, in favor of the intelligent presentation of the company's attraction in the newspapers, so that bo who runs may read, instead of having his eyes burned out by it riot of lithographic color aloug back alleys and unbuilt Jots. Mr. Mansfield says that sort of advertising, and it is costly, does not pay, while the newspapers afford sure returns, in this ho is supported by Mr. Gillani, who observes: "The truth is and 1 cannot put it too strongly the daily paper reading public respond with marvelous promptness and unanimity to any deserving advertisement." Howells, in his "Rise of Silas Lapham," makes quite a featnre of old Lapham's mineral paint, and his persistency in talking paint and in advertising paint. While thoso were the days when the advertisers wero throwing stereopticons on tbo moon and sticking their signs in tbe crater of Vesuvius an actual fact their persistency won them the return they sought for. All the humor poked at tbe man who does not advertise points its moral, and everyone in his own experience knows that au advertisement that presupposes common sense in tbe citizen and worth in that to be presented to bim for bis consideration is sure of result. As it is, tbe business world is appreciating more and more that the newspaper stands between them and its customers. It can either be a sheet of illumination or absolutely blank. In illumination there is success; in blankness, failure; for, to quoto Mr. Gillain once more, "Yon cau hold yon hand to youreyes and imagine tbe sun eclirsed. So the merchant can be eo close to his own wares and interests as to have narrow viows. The advertising man has no excuse to be so blinded." BLEEDING KANSAS.

Fighting Kansas, the scene of the present war between the steadfast friends of Judge Botkin and their deadly opponents. Pyrotechnic, impulsive, irrepressible, historymaking, notoriety-seeking Kansas!
