SMITH, the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Company's agent at College Corner, Ohio, who is short in his account to the amount of'$330 and who was arrested at Indianapolis by the constable upon a warrant sworn out by the auditor of the road, was released upon a telegram from College Corner Lodge Knights of Pythias, of which or­ der he was a member, saying that the order would make the shortage good. A DESCRIPTION of Harry Lacey was read at Cincinnati police roll-call, and all the officers instructed to keep a look­ out for him. He is wanted by Charles Butler, a boarding-house keeper, at Lib­ erty and State streets, who holds an un­ paid bill of over $100 against him. Lacey represented himself as being the son of the superintendent of the Pull­ man works at Chicago, and that he was heir to Chicago property valued at $1,000,000. Although the police have kept a sharp lookout for him, no trace has been discovered. THERE was a romantic affair at Ma­ rengo, Ind., in the marriage of Miss Spencer to Stroud Van Meter.? The groom is the young man who a short time ago was blown up by dynamite while working in a quarry. One eye was completely blown out, the sight of the other was injured beyond recovery, and his arms and legs were broken. His death is but a question of time. ^The bride is a young and intelligent woman, and after the ceremony she declared that her heart was satisfied now that she had the legal right to wait upon her hus­ band and smooth his pathway to the f grave. A SENSATION has been caused by the sudden decamping of W. P. Robinson, cashier and principal owner of the Farmers' Bank at Hope, Kan. For three days he has been missing, and-as he kept no clerks and had no confidants the bank and safe are closed. Attach- Omenta have been issued for claims amounting to $5,000. The bank has total liabilities of $16,000, while it is feared that the resources have all been realized on and taken by the cashier.- The Sheriff has taken possession and the safe will be broken. Somg believe he has met with foul play. A number of creditors in Central Iowa and Ohio will lose investments trusted with him. ANOTHER chapter is added to the Daviess County (Ind.) Court House sensation. The investigation of the books of ex-Auditor Lavelle and ex- Treasurer Smith, which ^%as ordered last August and which precipitated the Court House fire, has resulted in a find­ ing of a shortage in the accounts of Smith amounting to $4,000. This Smith is trying to make up. It will be remem­ bered that following the fire ex-Auditor Lavelle, his brother, &fike Ljavelle, Aaron B. Hawes, Basil Ledgerwood and Sam Harbin were arrested, charged with arson and mutilating public records. The two latter pleaded guilty and im­ plicated the others, who, they said, hired them to set fire to the Court House. They were recently sentenced to the penitentiary for seventeen years each on pleas of guilty. The others will be tried in March.

To the Senate fcud Honse of Representatives!: In my annual message, delivered to Congress at the beginning of t.ho pi-e.-eut session, alter a brief statement of tha facts then in the pos­ session of this Government touching the assault in the streets of Valparaiso, Chili, upon the sailors of the United btates steamship ii&M- more on the evening of the loth of October last, I said: "This Government is jttow awaiting the result of an investigation which hai been conducted by the Criminal Court at Valparaiso. It is re­ ported unofficially that the investigation is about completed, and it is expected that the result will be communicated to this Govern­ ment, together with some adequate and satis­ factory re-ponse to the note by which the at­ tention of Chill was called to tfeis incident. If these just expectations should be disappoint­ ed or further seedless delay intervenes, I will, I by a special message, bring this matter again to the attention 01 congress for such action am may be necessary." In my opinion the time has now come when I should lay before the Congress and the country the coiitJBx'oiideuee between this Government and the Government of i hill, from the time of the breaking7 out of the revolution against Bal- maceda, together wit i all other facts in the possession of the Kxecutive Depart­ ment relating to this matter. The diplo­ matic correspon 'enco is herewith trans­ mitted, together with some correspond­ ence between the naval officers lcr the time in command in t hilian waters and the Secretary of the Navy, and also the evidence taken at the Mare Island Navy Yard since the arrival of the Baltimore at (-an iraucisco. I do not deem it necessary in this communication to attempt any full analysis of the correspond­ ence or ol the evidence. A brief restatement of the international questions iuvolved and of the reasons why the responses of the Chilian Goveiument are unsatisfactory is all that I deem necessary. It may be well at the outset to say that what­ ever may have been said in this country or in Chili in criticism of Mr.l&gan(our Minister at Santiago, the true history of this exciting pe­ riod in Chiliau affairs, from the outbreak of the revolution(trotU this time, discloses no act on the part of*Egan unworthy of his position or thai could justly bo the occasion of serious an­ imadversions or critic am. He has, I think, on the whole, borne himself, in very trying ciicum- btances, with dignity, discretion and courage, and has conducted the correspondence with ability, courtesy and fairness. It is worth while also at the beginning to say that the right of Mr. Egan to give shelter in tlie legation to certain adherents of the Bahnaceda Government, who applied to him for asylum, has not been denied by the Chilian authorities, Two ARABIAN peddlers were asphvx- nor has aBy deu and been made for the surren-, , . , , , ., TT der of these refugees.

ADVICES from Muenster, Germany, state that Herr Wipp, one of the leaders among numismatists of the present day, and Conservator of the Museum of An­ tiquities of Muenster, died of influenza. Ilom various parts of Saxony it is re­ ported that the influenza is extending ite ravages even to the school teachers. The Pope is sick with senile bronchitis, aggravated by influenza,. His physicians say that his condition is serious, be­ cause be 'will not let himself be bled, does not go to bed on account of diffi­ culty in breathing, and passes the night in an easy chair, a dangerous practice. The Pope who is clear-head, is willing to receive the Cardinals on duty and reads the newspapers, showing himself affected by the news about his health. The Vatican asks the newspapers read by the Holy Father to take a cheerful view of his condition--a sure sign of the gravity of the situation. THE deaths in London last week were at the rate of 46 per 1,000 per year of the inhabitants, an increase of six over the rate of the preceding week. The births during the week were 2*623, and the deaths 3,761. The births Ore re 258 below those of the week before. The deaths during the past week were 1,762 above the average of the past decade. At Brighton, the death rate was 60.9 per 1,000, the highest of any town in Great Britain. Medical Adviser Smee, ad­ dressing a meeting of tho directors of a large life insurance company, stated that the epidemic of influenza had cost the company two and a half times as much as did the cholera epidemic ol 1842.

It Similar goous irom otnei countries. appears further from the note ot Mr. Egan, of SAYS a dispatch from Santiago: The "ov. 20, 1891, that on one occasion at Chilian Government has sent a reply to declares""^ Ee^know^td *him, la­ the ultimatum O^ tho United.

Chili also withdraws its request for the withdrawal of Minister Egan. In addition to this the Chilian Govern­ ment in its answer proposes that the affair of the attack on the Baltimore's sailors in Valparaiso be submitted to the arbitration of some neutral nation. II this proposition is not acceptable to the United States the Chilian Government ing language towards persons therein. This breach of the right of a Minister to freedom from police espionage and restraint seems to have been so llagran< that the Argentine Minis­ ter, who was Uean of the Diplomatic Corps, having observed it, felt called upon to protest against it to the Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Chilian authorities have, as will be observed from the correspond­ ence, oharged the refugees and the in­ mates of the legation with insulting the police; but it seems to me incredible that men whose lives wero in jeopardy and whose safety could only be secured by retirement and quiet- " " " h ' nesB should have sought to provoke a collision which could end only in their destruction, or to aggravate their condition by intensifying a . ,, , .. ,. . . , popular feeling that, at one liuae, so threatened Suggests that the matter be submitted ( the legation as to require Mr. Egau to appeal to the decision of the Supreme Court Ol to_the Minister of Foreign Affairs the United States.

United States, wearing the uniform ot their Govern'nent, and not in any individual act or personal animosity." „ e have now received from the Chilian Gov­ ernment an abstract of the conclusions of the Fisoal General upon the testimony taken by the Judge of Crimes in an investigation which was made to extend over nearly three months. I very much regret to be compelled to say that 'this report doeB not enable me to modify the conclusion an nounoed in 'my annual message. I am still of the opinion that our sailors 4utl«d *4iw i y"er0 assaulted, beaten, stabbed and killed, not 'MJS "o:2 for anything thovor anyone of them had done, jjUt for Tjhat the Government of the United fctatf B had done, or was charged with having done, by Its civil officers and naval command­ ers. If that be the rue aspect of the case, the Injury was to the Government of the United States, not to these poor sailors who wero as­ saulted in a manner eo brutal and so cowardly. Before attempting to give an outline of the facts upon which this conclusion rests, I think it right to say a word or two upon the legal aspcct of the case. tho Baltimore was in the harbor cf Valpa- raraifio by virtue of that general Invitation whit h nations are held to extend to the war vessels of other powers with which they have friendly relations. This invitation, I think, must be held ordinarily to embrace the privi­ lege of such communication •«ith the shore as is reaaonablo, necessary, and proper for the comfort and convenience of the officers and men of such vessels. Captain t chley testifies that when bis vessel returned to Valparaiso, on September 14, the city officers, as is Cus­ tomary, ex'ended tbe hospitalities of tbe city to his (ihcers and crow. It is not claimed tbat every personal collision or injury in which a sailor or officer of such naval vessel visiting the shore may be involved raise an international quest on" but I am clearly of the opinion that when such officers or sailors are assaulted by a resident populace, animated by hostility to the government whose uniform thoBe sailors and officers wear* and i'i resentment of acts done by their Government, not by them, their nation 'must take notice of tbe event as one involving an infraction of its rights and dignity; not in a secondary way, as Where a citizen is Injured ana presents his claim through his own Gov­ ernment, but in a primary way, precisely as if Its Minister or Consul or the (tag i.eelf had been the object of the same character of as­ sault. The officers and sailors of tbe Balti­ more were in tbe harbor of Valparaiso under the orders of their Government, not by their own oholoe. They were upon the shore by the 8.50 & 4.

Nor does it affect the question that the injury was the act of a mob. If there had been no participation by the police or military in this cruel work and no neglect on their part to ex* tend protection, the ease would still be one, in my opinion, when its extent and charact er are considered, Involving international rights. The incidents of the afF tir aru briefly as foiljwB : On the 16th of October last, Cant- Schley, CdtnmMHttfift tho United 8tat.«s ship Baltimore, gave shore-leavo to .117 petty officers and' MAIIOTS of his Bhip. These men left tho ship about. 1:30 p. m. No luald«ut~ot. violence occurred; none of our men were arrested; no oomplaints lodged against them ; nor did any collision or outbreak occur until about (i o'clock p. m. Capt. Schley states that he was himself on shore and about the streets of tho city until 5 :30 p. in.; that he met very many of his men who were upon leavB; that they were sober and were conducting them­ selves with propriety, saluting t hilian and other officers as they met them. Other officers of the ship and Captain Jenkins, of the mer­ chant ship Keweenaw, corroborate Captain Schley as to the general sobriety »ud good be­ havior of bur men. The Sisters of Charity at the hospital to which our wounded men were taken when injured, stated that they were uolwr when received. If the situation had been otherwise, we must believe that tho Chilian police authorities would have made arrests. About 8 p. m. the assault began, and it Is remarkable that the investiga­ tion by the Judge of Crimes, though S3 protracted, doei not enable him to give any rncrc G.itir.factory account of Its origin than is found in tho statement that- it began between drunken sailors. Repeatedly in the correspond­ ence it is asserted that it was impossible to le ira the precise cause of theriot. Tho Minister of Foreign Affairs, Matta, in his telegram to Mr. Montt, under date of December 31, states that tho quarrel began between two aailorB in a tavern auu v,&e continued in the street, persons who were passing joining in it. The testimony of Talbot, an apprentice, who was with B.iggin, is that the outbreak in which they were involved began by a X/billan saUor npittlng in the face of Talbot, TPOTSI was rceset- eu by a kr.oekdown. It appears that lUggin and Talbot were at the time unaccompanied by any others of thefr shipmates. • * * * % • ' • After summarizing the correspondence np to a certain point he says: The communications of the Chilian Govern­ ment, in relation to this cruel and disastrous attack upon our men, as will appear from the correspondence, have not in any degree taken the form of a manly and satisfactory expression of regret, much less of apology. Trie event was of so serious a character that if the injuries suffered by our men had b»en wholly the re­ sult of an accident in a Chilian port tbe incident was grave enough to have call­ ed for some public expression of sympa­ thy and regret from the local authorities. It is not enough to say that the affair waa la­ mentable, for humanity would require that ex­ pression even If the beating and killing of our men had been justifiable. It is not enough'to say that the incident la regretted, coupled with the ntft crmont that the affair was not of an un­ usual character in ports where foreign sailors are aocustomed to meet. It is not for a generous and sincere gov­ ernment to seek for words of small or equivocal meanings in which to convey to a friendly power an apology for an ofleube so atrocious as tQis. In the case of the assault by a mob in New Orleans upon the Spanis i < on- sulate ip 1851, Mr. Webster wrote t J the Spanish Minister, Mr. Calderon, that the acts com­ plained of were "a disgraceful and flagrant breach of duty and propriety, "and that his Gov­ ernment "regrets them as deeply as Mr. Calde­ ron or his government could possibly dothat "these acts have caused the President very great pain and he thinks a •proper acknowledgment is due to her Majesty." He invited the Spanish Consul to return to bis post, guaranteeing protection, and ottered to salute th© Spanish flag if the Consul should come in a Spanish vessel. Such a treatment by the government of 1 hill of this assault would have been more creditable to the Chilian au­ thorities ; and much less can hardly be satis ac- tory to a government that values its dignity and honor. In our note of October 23d last, which ap­ pears in the correspondence, after receiving the report of the board of officers appointed by « antain Schley to investigate the affair, the Chilian Government wai advised of the aspect which it thon assumed and called upon for any fact s in its possession t hat might tend to modify the iinfavorable impression which our report bai created. It is very clear from the corre­ spondence that, before the receipt, of this note the examination was regarded by the police au­ thorities as practically closed It was, how­ ever, reopened and protracted through a period of nearly three months. We might justly have complained of this unreasonably delay, but in view of the fact that the government of Chili was still provisional and with a disposition to be forbearing and hopeful of a friendly termin­ ation, I have awaited the report which has but recently been made. On the 21st inst. 1 caused to be communicated to the Government of Chili, by the American 'Minister at Santiago, the conclusions of this Government, after a full consideration of all the evidence and of every suggestion affecting this matter, and to these conclusions I adhere. They wero as follows : " 1. That the assault is not relieved of the as­ pect which the early information of the event gave to it, viz: That of an a; tack upon the uni­ form of the Uni ed States navy, having its ori­ gin and motive in a feeling of hostility to this Government, and not in any act ol the Bailors or of any of the men. 2. That the public authorities at Valparaiso flagrantly' failed in their duty to protect our men, and that some of the police and of the," Chil.an soldiers and sailors were themselves guilty of unprovoked assaults upon our sailors before and ..after arrest. He (the President) thinks preponderance of the evidence and the inherent probabilities lead to tbe con­ clusion that Riggin was killed by the police or soldiers. . 3. That he (the President) is therefore com­ pelled to bring the case back to th e position taken by this Government in the note of Oct. 23 last, and to ask for a suitable apology and lor some adequate reparation for the injury done to this Government. A claim for reparation has been made In behalf of, this man ; for, while ho was not a citi­ zen of the United States, the doctrine so long held by us, as expressed in the consular regula­ tion, Is : "The principles which ar -maintained by this Government in regard to the protection, •as distinguished from the relief, of seamen are well settled. It is held that the dream* stance that tho vessel is American is evidence that the seamen on board are such; and in every regularly documented merchant vessel the crew will find their protection in the flag that covers them." I have as vet received no reply to our note of the 21st instant, but. in my opinion, I ought not to delay longer to bring these matters to the attention of Congress for such action as may be deemed appropriate. [ft-gned] BENJAMIN HAIUUSON. Executive Mansion, January 35, 1892. The above is President Harrison's presentation of the Chilian affair to Congress. The voluminous correspon­ dence shows on the part of Chili evasive duplicity,K covert sarcasm, lnso- lenco, and about all the of­ fences that can be committed un­ der the forms of diplomacy. With all this there was nothing expressed nor implied to intimate that Chill Intended to apologize for its misconduct in sur­ rounding the American Legation at San­ tiago with police spies; for the impudent letter of its former Foreign Minister, nor for the murder of our sailors In uni­ form. 0 . The Tittle, republic has evidently de­ pended on its distance, the difficulty In making an offensive war against it, pos­ sibly on the wretched help of a peace party In the United States, and on the intrigues of the nitrate trust to delay, discourage and finally defeat the de­ mands of tho United States. This mis­ take will probably be rectified soon. What is substantially the ultimatum of the United States--its last peremp­ tory demand before adopting war meas- ureB--has been sent to Chill. The Presi­ dent asked the immediate withdrawal of Matta's insulting note, an apology for the a ssault on the sailors, and the payment of damages. Not receiving a favorable reply the President asks Congress to declare war and to authorize its prose­ cution. This Is the purport of the Presi­ dent's message. WILL DALLY NO LONGER BLUNT REPLY TO CHILI'S IN­ SULTING DEMANDS. Instead of Recalling Egan Secretary Blafne Requires the Immediate Withdrawal of Matta's Note, an Apology and lataultgr to the Baltimore's Sailors. The Hour ot Reckoning Ru Conto. During the last "week, in spite of the show of friendship towara Minister Egan by .Senor Pereira, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and other members of the Chilian Cabinet, events have come to light exhibiting surprising duplicity. ^Minister Egan was asked last week by the Chilian Foreign Office to "recogniie" the fact that Secretary Blaine had ac­ cepted the renunciation of Matta's cir­ cular letter by the Chilian Government, the so-called renunciation being for­ warded upon the explanation that Presi­ dent Harrison's message was a domestic document and it was therefore improper for a foreign government to officially com­ ment upon it. Mr: Egan declined to en­ tertain the proposition until after he % MINISTER PATRICK BGAN. had communicated with the Washington Government and obtained instructions from his own superiors. He declined to acknowledge the "renunciation" upon the grounds stated by the Chilian au­ thorities without official information from Washington. When the request In regard to the Matta note was made by Minister Eagan he was told that a letter in regard to the subject would be sent to the American Legation. The promised letter vas not sent. On the contrary the .Chilian Government cabled Senor Pedro Montt, its Minister at Washing­ ton, to demand the recall of Mr. Egan because he was persona non grata. Secretary Biaine's reply to the de­ mand for Minister Egan's recall has been delivered. Instead of being an instruction to Mr. Egan to return home it instructed the American Minister to deliver the ultimatum of the United States Government to the Chilian au­ thorities. This yltimatum demands the immediate and unqualified withdrawal of the Matta letter without reservation, an apology for the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore, and the paym'ent of an indemnity. It is couched in an ex­ tremely firm and decided tone. Minister Egan is instructed if the demand is not complied with at once-tp sever diplomatic relations with the Chilian Government. Chili's hour of reckoning has come, and it must reckon with the United States for two distinct offenses. One is a purely diplomatic one. It is the inso­ lent circular of the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Government, in which the most insulting things were said of the President of the United States, the Secretary of the Navy, the Minister to Chili, and the naval officers. The other is the antecedent one growing out of the attack on sailors wearing the American uniform by the Valparaiso mob. There is a third cause of irritation, but it is not set forth as an offense. This is the request of the Chilian Government for the recall of Minister Egan without that Government having previously settled the Baltimore outrage and disavowed the Matta circular. Every diplomatic step has been taken. The ultimatum has been duly jpresented by Minister Egan to the Chilian authori­ ties. While several messages have gone to him during the last few days there was no possibility of mistaking the later ones. In them he was directed to state with all formality that the United States renewed on the present Montt Govern­ ment the demand it had made on the Provisional Government for reparation for the Baltimore outrage, and in addi­ tion he was instructed to demand a com­ plete disavowal of the Matta offense. These messages were not simply in the nature of an ultimatum, they were tho ultimatum itself. To guard against any error in terms; after he received them Minister Egan repeated the instructions back again. They were found exactly as sent, and he was directed to present the ultimatum at once and ask for an imme­ diate reply. He did so. Chili has made no reply, either to Minister Egan in San­ tiago or through its minister in Wash­ ington. It is still defiant. The United States held no communication with Minister Montt in regard to the final de­ mands. The administration ignored him and dealt directly through the Minister to Chili. He was not even told that the last message had gone and the news was known to the Chilian government before the minister in Washington had it. This was about the most emphatic way in which the President and Secre­ tary of State could show their displeas­ ure at the course of Chili in presenting the request for Minister Egan's recall when the circumstances were so critical. Officially the United States does not en­ tertain the request pending a settlement of tho controversy. It was therefore the simple truth to say that when Min­ ister Egan leaves Santiago Minister Montt will leave Washington. * A Mew Raspberry.

The House has entered^ upon the consideration of the rules, and tbe time was wholly passed In debate, with­ out action. " ; The farmers and the lawyers met face to face in tbe House of Representatives on the 27th, and the result of the legislative skirmish was a decisive victory for the agriculturists. This contest for preroga­ tive was revived by the introduction of a bill ?by Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, to amend the present oleomargarine law.' The members from agricultural distrlcte generally rallied around Mr. Hatch, and the bill was finally referred to the Agri­ cultural Committee by a vote of 128 years to 18 nays. Debate was resumed upon the repoit of the Committee on Rules. Ar­ senate no decisive action was taken. Dif» - cussionJogwas largely upon the' Mexican award (the La Abra) measure. In the House, the 28th, debate on tfii^ ̂ ^ report of the Committee on Rules was r<j- sumed, only to be interrupted by the de­ livery of President Harrison's supple­ mentary message on Chilian affair* This message announced that Chili's latest' communication proposed entirely satisfaifc tory action by that country, that only a feijf - minor details remained yet to be arranged, that there was no longer a reasonable uos- ,'j sibiiity of war, and that our future relations r with the South American republic bade fair to be not only peuceful but, cordial. After several hours spent in debate upon the above-mentioned report, the rules were read by paragraphs for amendment On^ motion of Mr. Catchlngs, an amendment was adopted increasing from sixteen to seventeen the membership of the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, offered an amendment glylng to the Committee on the District of Columbia jurisdiction over the appropriations for the support of the district Pending action. Mr. Cockran, of New York, announced tliedeatUof Representative F. B. Splnola of New York, and the House, as a mark of respect to the memory of the de­ ceased, adjourned. In the Senate, the event of the day was the receipt of the President's message. The feeling • of satisfaction was expressel in words by Mr. Sherman, who, in moving the reference of the message and accompany­ ing documents to the Committee on Foreign Relations, said that he supposed tbat every member of the Senate heartily joined In congratulation at the hopeful and honora­ ble settlement (honorable to both sides) of the unpleasant Incident- Charged by a Buffalo. Every farmer's boy has seen two angry rams rush at each other, with heads almost down to the ground. It is thjjs that a mad African buffalo charges upon the object^ of his rage, be it man or lion. Such a charge Is described by Mr. Herbert Ward, ill Scribner's Magazine. While his comrade, Mr. E. X Glave, was stalking a large herd of buffaloes, he fired at a bull, bufr only wounded it in the shoulder. The herd stampeded, but the wounded bull trotted into a neighboring patch of scrub, whence, as Glave ap­ proached, he rushed into the ope$, and for an instant stood there dazed. Recovering himself, the infuriated animal extended his neck, stuck back his ears, stamped with his foot, sniffed the air, and with an ominous twitch of his tail, charged straight for the man, who stood awaiting him, fifty yards off. Glave saw from the pace of the charging buffalo that his life depend­ ed upon the one shot. He waited, therefore, until the brute, with head close to the ground, and bellowing with rage, was within a few feet. Then he fired, and shot it through the heart. So sudden was the shock and so great the impulse, that the brute turned a somersault, and Glave had only time to jump aside to avoid being crushed. While stalking the herd, Glave had given a native his helmet to carry. When the man saw the infuriated buffalo about to charge, he climbed up a high tree. So scared was he that even after the buffalo had been killed he could not be persuaded to come down with the helmet, and an­ other native had to go up and get it. The exposure of the hunter's head to the sun gave him a severe fever, and that night he was so delirious as 'to require several men to control him. Strange and Curious.
