MONTT CALLS ON BLAINE.
NEITHER WILL DIVULGE THE NAT
URE OS’ THE INTERVIEW.
Montt Claims to Have Bjon Appointed
Minister to This Country by tbe
Chilean Junta—Julius Foster Barred
Out of th 9 Room on Account of His
Unfriendly Talk.
W ashinoton, Oct. 28. —Secretary Blaine
to-day received Don Pedro Montt, tbe Chil
ean provisional minister, who was accom
panied by Senor Asta Burruaga, tbe charge
d'affaires left here by Senor Sascano.
MONTT JUST APPOINTED.
The meeting was arranged on representa
tions that Senor Montt had received a
, abiepram announcing his appointment as
minister from Chile to the United
States and adding that his creden
tials had been forwarded The in
terview lasted three-quarters of an
hour. Afterward Senor Montt positively
refused to state what had been said and
Secretary Blaine left the department im
mediately for his house. It is understood
that Senor Montt has been recognised in a
provisional way only, which pute him in
the same status as that now Occupied by
Minister Egan in Chile.
FOSTER SHUT OUT.
Julius Foster, the Pennsylvanian who has
been acting as an official representative of
tbe Chilean junta, at times being in sole
charge of the junta legation hero during
the absence of Senor Montt, their regular
and official representative, has talked so
much and indiscreetly about the unfriendli
ness of our government to the junta that lie
lias become almost as unpopular at the
state department as Minister Egan is iu
Santiago. When he went up to the depart
ment with Senor Montt to-day to witnes
the crowning triumph of seeing Senor
Montt received as a recognized diplomatic
representative of Chile by Secretary Blaine,
the door of the diplomatic conference room
was shut in Mr. Poster’s faoe.
Aim THE OTHERS WEST IS,
Senor Montt went in, and Asta Burmagat,
the charge of the old Chilean legation, went
In, but Mr. Foster could not go with them.
Secretary Bliina, it is understood, spoke
very freely to Senor Montt about the ad
visability of muzzling Mr. Foster. He is
also said to have said that it would be wise
for the junta to forget the nast, and culti
vate friendly relations with thi3 couutry,
suggesting that Senor Montt cable the
ju ita to take acti in as to the recent
episode which would show its desire to be
friendly.
CHILE REFUSES TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
Santiago de Chile, Oct, 28.—The Chile
an government has replied to Minister
Egan's demand for an explanation of the
recent attack upon the American sailors.
The roply is couched in very strong language
and it is understood t-iat it amounts
to a refusal to accept responsi
bility for the affair. The state
department at Washington has been noti
fied. Minister Egan, Commander Schley
and Consul McCreerv are consulting to
gether, and it is thought that decisive
action will be taken soon. The state de
partment's orders in reference to tbe atter
are very strong. The eutendento of Valpa
raiso has refused to guarantee the
safety of market boats coming to that
city early in the morning from toe Util ted
Stales warshio Baltimore, or the safety of
the officers of that vessel coming ashore at
night. There is practically a boycott on
the Baltimore. No American sailors are
allowed ashore. Croat excitement has been
caused here by a report that the Chilean le
gation in Washington has been attacked.
A FIGHT OVER A CREED.
The Andover Seminary Case Ends in
a Victory for the Librraia.
Boston, Mass., Oot. 28. —The decree of
the board of visitors has been set aside in
the famous Auiloyer case, by the Massa
chusetts supreme court, ou the ground that
the board acted unjustly aud illegal! v in
refusing to allow the board of trustee a
•hare in tbe trial. Tbe oase, which has be
come famous, grew out of the expulsion
from the chair of ecclesiastical history of
Hubert C. Smythe for heterodoxy in teach
ing doctriues contrary to the creed of the
institution, respecting tbe inspiration of
the holy scriptures and probution after
death for the heatbon. The merits of tbe
case are not touched upon. This sends the
matter to the board of trustees, who, os a
body, support Prof. Bmytbe and will not
become parties to proceedings for his re
moval. The decision thus becomes a
virtual victory for the “new departure’’
liberals.

Hew York, Oot. 28.—Dr. Mendoca, the
Brazilian minister to tbe United States, ar

are pleased with the reciprocity treaty be
tween the two countries. Both of the houses
of the Brazilian congress are favorable to
it. The treaty may have to be eularged in
some respects or modified in others as time

treaty is looked upon with favor
by all of our people. The rumors
of possible changes in the government of
Brazil are only rumors and without founda

is not now in perfect beairb, but as to his
resigning the presidency that is assured. He
is in Rio Janeiro, and attending to the
affairs of tho government. The masses are
pleased with him and h;s administration,
and I see no reason for a change. The

the abuses of the pension office, and es
pecially as to the blackmailing perform
ances of Green B. Raum, Jr., and tho favor
itism shown him and Commissioner
Raum’s other relatives and friends, and
whose dismissal Commissioner Raum de
manded, has got weary of waiting to be
asked for his proofs, and of Commissioner
Raum’s petty persaoutiou, and has resigned
and returned to New York.
HIS LETTER OP RESIGNATION.
His interest! g letter of resignation is as
follows:
Washington, Oct. 27.
Hon. John W. Xobie, Secretary of ihe Interior:
Sib—l have the honor to forward you my
resignation as a clerk of the pension bureau for
the following reasons:
1. Over one month ago I, at your sug
gestion, made certain statements under the
form of affidavits in which I made
grave charges against the administration of the
pension bureau, and offered positive aud official
proof of the truth of those charges. I have
patiently waited to bs called upon
for that proof and have been ready
to produce it at auy moment, but
so far have had no intimation what ver
us to when said charges would be investigated,
if ever.
2. Since the filing of said charges I have been
sub.tected in many ways to a -cries of petty in
suits and persecutions, and leave of absence
without pay has been refused me. t ough
granted to others. Gen. itaurn has openly
oasted that he had tbe favor and confidence
of the President and yourself, and that lie had
insisted on my dismissal. Tne actlmr chief
clerk, the chief of n>y division, aud other mem
bers of the pension ring inside and outside of the
office, have been so open in their hostility as
to impair my health and to render me unable to
attend to the dudes of my position. I have be
come tired of these conditions, and I therefore
ask your prompt acceptance of my resignation,
or, if you see fit to dismiss me, an equally
prompt notification of that action. At the sam
time 1 repeat my offer to produce absolute
proof, i. e.. the official record, of the truth of
tbe charges made by ma I am, sir, yery ie
speetfully, E. Howard.
MISTOOK THE LIGHT.
The Loss of the Dispatch Explained
by Her Executive Officer.
Washington, Oct. 28.—1 u the Dispatch
court of inquiry to-day Lieut. Noel, the
executive offiosr, testified that he had mis
taken tho Assateague light for the AYinter
Quarter Shoal lightship. The latter's
light was red aud the former's white,
but not of a clear character. On
the night of tha wreck it showed
so red that it lost its white character. No
other ligbt could be seen, and so he made
the mistake of supposing the vessel near
Winter Quarter Shoal. Several's atements
of skippers were put in to the effect that
the Assateague light often appeared red,
even under favorable circumstances.
MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY.
Judga Matthews After the United
fttates Commissioners.
Washington, Oct. 88.—Judge Matthews,
first controller o£ the treasury, iu hit
annual report, recommends legislation by
congi ess in the matter of double compensa
tion to federal officials, and says: “There
are many cases where a l uited States com
missioner is paid during the calendar year
more than $7,000, aud such payments
appear to be excessive in view ot the service
rendered, and it is respectfully suggested
that the compensation of United (States
commissioners should be limited to not to
exceed $5,000. No reason is know uto exist
why a commissioner or clerx should receive
more than the judge of a court.”

RUSSIA AND THE GERMANS.
The Departure of tbe Teutons from
the Czar's Realm Explained.
New York, Oct. 28.—Among the passen
gers on board the Majestic to-day was Dr.
Walter Kempster, special immigration
commissioner, who has made an exhaustive
investigation of the Russian phase of the
subject. Germans are being expelled from
Russia in great numbers. This
is being done in spite of the fact
that there has been no ukase issued
ordering the expulsion of Germans. They
ore being foreod out by a system which the
people in this country canuot understand.
Hitherto small villages have been allowed
to elect their own president for petty
affairs. After the election last fall an order
was issued that hereafter all persons having
been elected to such positions should
before proceeding to eater ou
their office “kiss the Russian
Christ.” All these Germans being
Rumen Catholics have natural)}-declined to
do this. It is a sod< ne by compelling plans
to be submitted for $2,000 every time a S2OO
German church is to be built.,
THEIR LANGUAGE RULSD OUT.
Then here is another point: Tbe Ger
mans living in Russia have always taught
their children in the Russian language, but
part of the curriculum has been devoted to
the German language. There are no publio
schools in Russia. "I may msroiou by the
way that an order has uow bam Issued thnt
hereafter no German should be taught iu
tbe schools. This is a method of persecution.
It is the same method Dy which the perse
cution of tho Jews commenced. It is
nothing more than religious persecution of
the worst kind. The consequence is that
the Germans, who are wrewhodly poor,
are now selling out their small
buildings at auy price and leaving Russia
by hundreds. Many are going to the Argen
tine Repnblic while others me ruining hare.
DESIRABLE IMMIORANTH.
It Is a most desirable class of immigrants
—these persecuted Germain. They are all
brawny farmers and hard-fisted men. I
saw a great many of them and stayed with
them. If they are put on laud
in tbe west they will make it blossom."
Speaking of the forthcoming feport of the
immigration co omission Dr. Kempster
said: ‘ When our report is publishod it will
be a text for every newspaper, a text for
every pulpit in the land, and for every
orator. It will contain material I cannot
tell you a .y thing about because offloial duty
forbids it. H*e have a mass of documentary
evidence which was obtained at very con
siderable personal risk, but we got it.”

GRENADIERS GRUMBLING
THE THIRD BATTAL ON KICK ON
THEIR RATIONS.
Tbe Officer cf the Day Pronounces the
Food Good, and Orders the Men to
Eat It—Thereupon They Throw It Out
of the Windows.
London, Oct. 28.—Military oircles and
the public in general were startled to-day
by the publication in the columns of Truth
oL the details of another mutinous outbreak
on tho part of the Grenadier Guards. Ac
cordinr to Truth ttatsfrsffi mutiny, “while
not an event of the first magnitude,” is
still “very serious.” It Is safe to add
that all the military men look upon the
event ar lining of a most decidedly serious
nature, in view of the three previous acts
of mutiny, in whicti the Grenadiers arid
Coldstream Guards have been implicated
within about a year and a half.
complaining of pooh food.
This last trouble, it appears, is from re
peated complaints made in regard to the
quantity and bad quality of their rations
by the privates of t o Third battalion of
the Grenadier Guards, whose colonel,
no niuallv, is the Duke of Cambridge. The
Third battalion of the Grenadier Guards is
now stationed at Windsor, where
their particular duty is to mouut
guard at Windsor castle, aud generally to
ornament that handsome old edifice. '1 base
Grenadiers are the same men who ou April
21 of the present year, while quartered at
Chelsea anil Nt. George's barracks, London,
were so insubordinate that thev for some
time positively refused to turn out for pa
rade iu full marching order.
THE WHOLE ARMY GRUMBLING,
The whole British army is full of com
plaints as to small pay, excesdve drills and
too rigorous punishments. The immediate
causa of the outbreak was a complaint
mails about insufficient and unpalatable
rations, woioh the men claimed wore served
to them for their meals on Sunday, Oct. 14.
These rations, they claim, were especially
bad and caused tho smoldering feeling of
ins bordination to break out into flame.
THE LIEUTENANT PRONOUNCED IT GOOD.
The privates of No. 1 cimpany made
formal complaint to Lieut. Cotton, the of
ficer of tbe day, of the quantity aud quality
of tbe food served out to them. Lieut.
Cotton examined the food complained
of, and then said that the food
was good, aud ordered the Gren
ndiera to eat it. To hit dismay the Grena
diers of company No. 1 went to the win
dows of the me* room aud hurled the un
satisfactory rations into the barraok square.
The officer reported the affair aud tbe inon

is a liberal writer of some note, and who
bas made a special study of ecclesiastical
questions, contends that. Austria in tha
name of the triple alliance ought to domin
ate in tne next conclave and procure
the eleotlon of a pope amenable
to tbe suggestions of the triple alliance.
But the point of interest to Americans ia
tho article is vigorous opposition to the
candidature of Cardinal Gibbons for suc
cession Pi tbe papal chair. Amoug other
things, Kignor Cesare declares that under
Cardinal Gibbous the ohuroh would cease to
be “Roman.” This attack on Cardinal
Gibbons is regarded at tbe Vatican
as an expression of the- fear
of tbe liberals that Car dinal Gibbons might
be elected at the next conclave. National
rivalries and jealousies whioh might prevent
the unanimous election of a European pope
would not operate io Cardinal Gibbons case,
so bis chance of election is considered good.
JULES SIMON LOOKS FOR PEACE.

Him That He Wants Peace.
Paris, Oct. 28. Jules Simon, the distin
guished French statesman and political
economist, and formsr chief of the renub-
Ucati party, in an interview published to
day, said he did not think war was proba
ble. He added: “While I was in Berlin as
a delegate to the international labor con
gress Emperor William told me that he de
sired peace, and the tone in which
he said so left no doubt tn my mind that he
was sincere. The czar also wauts peace,
and Frnooe will not be the nation to com
mence hostilities in Europe.” M. Sirnou
declined to venture an opinion whether or
not the Franco-Russian entente included an
agreement to expel K iglaud from Egypt,
(u this oeuneotion M. Simon said he did not
credit Russia with having any designs on
India, but held that Rusaian expansion iu
Asia was only natural.

FHANOR'd TARIFF.
The Chamber of Deputies Still Wrest
ling with the Bubiect.
Baris, Get. 28.— Tho government’s pro
pose! to oouoedo a reduced tariff for one
year to the couutriee having commercial
treaties with France is exolting much oppo
sition. The protectionists declare that the
proposal is oppoeed to the economic inten
tions of the ('nantier of Dsputiei end will
produce commercial instability and be
prejudicial to tie interests of
the public treasury. On the
other hand the free traders are
jubilant over the proposal and maintain
that it proves that, the government recog
nizes the neces.itv of fixing commercial
relations with foreign countries and con
cluding conventions. The freo trade paper,
I.a Liberie , declares that no country desires
Frauce to claim a continuance of
the status quo for her own advantage
with a view of afterward imposing
conditions likely to be lutnous to foreigu
countries. La Liberie urges that the gov
ernment had bott r avert moral defeat, by
prolonging the existing treaties until 1893
and save the country from an industrial,
commercial mid financial crisis.
AN EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN.
Hundreds of People Killed by Falling
Buildings.
London, Oct. 28 —A private telegram
dated Hiogo, reports a disastrous earth
quake in Japau. A severe shook was ex
perienced at Osaka, a soanort town of 860,-
000 inhabitants, on the island of Hondo and
in many things oue of the first cities of
Japan. The destruction of life mul property
was very great. So severe was tho shook
that a number of houses wore thrown to the
ground and many of their occupants were
caught in the falling buildings and
crushed to death. A large num
ber of persons succeeded in escaping
from their tottering homes ouiy to
meet death in the streets. There is no
means at prorout of estimating the total
loss of life; in fact, tbe details of the cacat
tronhe are very meager, as all the telegraph
wires in the districts affected were broken
by the falling of the poles. The dispatch,
however, states that it is known that iu
Osaka alone the death list contains the
names of 300 of the resident* of that city.

Bismarck on Irish Home Rule.
Bkri.in, Oot. 28.—An article inspired by
Prince Bismarck on the subject of Irish borne
rule appears in to-day’s issue of the Ham
burg Kiichrirhten. It strongly reproaches
the Parnellites lor their childish obeiinnoy
in postponing a settlement of the question,
and characterizes home rule without Mr.
Gladstone’s help as a veritable Utopia.
Social Decree of the Kaiser.

NE WNANJPIRS-'S WEPT.
A Warehouse and Over a Thousand
Bales of Cotton Burned.
Nkwnan, Ga. , Oct. 28. —This city has
again bssn visited by fire, l.ast night T.
\Y Howell dt Co.’s warehouse, with 1,000
bales of cotton, was destroyed. The wind
was w ild anil for three hours tbe town
seemed to be at tbe mercy of tbe elements.
All the stores ou the west aide of the square
were relieved of their contents and tbe
Newnan Guard: were put on duty. About
100 bales of cotton on tbe platform of the
burning building were removed after a
fierce light. Every oue that could shoulder
a musket and carry water was put to work.
At 5 o'clock tbit morning another alarm
sounded, and In five minutes 500 men with
buckets of water were at tbe warehouse of
Russell, Gibsou & Cos. working to save it.
Nearl y 200 bales of cotton were on the out
side platform. By hard work the building
was saved, but fifty bales of ootton were
burned.
A SUSPECT ARRESTED.
The work was evidently that of an incen
diary. Wily Argo, a desperate charaoter
who has a grudgo against the city and
warehouse, was arrested just after tbe last
fire. Argo is very reticent and pititive ev
idence will be hard to get. If the citizens
knew that he was the incendiary he would
in all probability be hanged or burned be
fore another day.
It is impossible to get a correct estimate
of the loss by the three fres that occurred
at different places within twenty-four
hours, but the combined loss will probably
reaca s'.'oo,ooo.
