He Expresses a Dasire for Friendly Relations Between the Two Coun tries—President Harrison Claims Absolute Neutrality on the Part of This Government During the Revolu tion. Washington, Nov. 14. Senor Montt, the Chilean minister, Jwaa formally pre sented to the President at 11:30 o’clock this morning by Seoretary Blaine. The minister was accompanied by Senors Anibal Crus, secretary of the legation, and Guillermo Arenauetegan and Yalentindel Campo, at taches. They were all in full evening dreso in accordance with the custom in South American countries on state occasions.

The President received them standing in the blue parlor, which was illuminated with electric lights for the oc casion. After formal introductions by Sec retary Blaine Seuor Montt advanced and addressed the President in Spanish as fol lows: Mr. President: I have the honor to present credentials which credit me iu the capacity of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotenti ary of the republic of Chile to the United States of North America. The object of the mission, which the government of Chile has confided to me, is to cultivate and maintain the relations of teace and friendship between the United States and Chile, which have ever been close and cordial. For the accomplishment of this purpose I rely upon the kindness and good will which the U nited States government lias always manifested for the representatives of Chile. Permit me to express my country's sincere wishes for the prosperity and welfare of this noble country, which is so highly favored by providence, and for your own happiness. PRESIDENT HARRISON’S REPLY. President Harrison responded os follows: I am glad to receive from' your hands letters accrediting you as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the republic ot Chile in the United States. The presence of a representative of the government of Chile at this capital will, I hope, tend to promote a good understanding between the two governments and an early settlement upon terms just and honorable to both on the diplomatic questions now somewhat urgently awaiting adjustment. The government of the United Sates, as well as its people, particularly desire and rejoice In the prostierlty of all our neighbors in this hemis phere. Our diplomatic relations with them nave always been and will continue to be free from intermeddling with their International affairs. Our people are loth to desire that the commercial or political advantage of this gov ernment should be sought by the promotion of disastrous dissensions in other countries. We hear with sorrow every fresh tale of war or Internal strife and are always ready to give our friendly offices to the promotion of peace. If these are not acceptable or do not avail it is our policy to preserve an honorable and strict neutrality, as was done during the re cent war in Chile. Tempting commercial and political advantages may be offered for our aid or influence by one or the other of the con tending parties, but this we have not deemed to be consistent with the obligations of Interna tional honor and good will. The government was quite as determined in its refusal to allow a wav vessel of the United states to carry to a neutral port , where it could be made available for war purposes, the *uver of Frnident Bat maceda as it uvxs to give aid to the forcei op pnsing him. The questions involved were Chilean questions and this government en deavored to observe there principles ot non-in tervention, upon whioli it has bo strongly Insisted when civil war disturbed our own people. I cannot doubt that ttiis policy will commend itself to those who now administer the government of Chile, nor can I doubt t hat when excitement has given place to calmness, when the truth is ascertained and seiflsh and designing perversions of recent Inci dents have been exposed, our respective gov ernments will find a basis of interest, mutual respect, confidence and friendship, Mr. Minis ter. this government and our people rejoice that peace has been restored in Chile and that 1 its government is an expression of the free choice of its people. You may assure your honored president, who has been chosen under circumstances which so strongly testify to his moderation and to the esteem in which he is held by the people of all parties, that the government of the United States entertains only good will for him and the people of Chile, and cannot doubt that ti e existing and all future differences between th two governments will find an honorable ad just menc. To y ju, Mr. Minister, I tender a personal welcome. This closed the ceremony, and the visitors took their departure, Mr. Blaine accom panying them to their carriages. BRAZIL’S DANGER AVERTED.

BBOKEN BANKS. Examiners to Take Charge at Ban Diego and Cheyenne. Washington, Nov. 14.—Mr. Lacey, con troller of the currenoy, has inetruoted the bank examiners to take charge of the Chey enne National Bank of Cheyenne and the National Bank of San Diego, Cal., both of whioh failed during the week. Their affairs are somewhat connected, as the same officers are practically in charge of both banks. Controller Lacey says he does not know whether the report that Senator Sherman is a stockholder of the Cheyenne bank is true or not. NO NEW RUN AT CHEYENNE. Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 14.—Controller Laoey wires from Washington that Exam iner Griffiths is on the way here to take charge of tho Cheyenne National bank, whioh failed yesterday.

At a meeting Thursday evening when other city bankers attended on invitation, the in volved bank was found to be in excellent shape and In confidence that, there would be no rush the doors were thrown open at 10 o’clock Wednesday morning, only to be closed In an hjur when the $45,000 cosh on hand was exhausted. THREE HEAVY DEPOSITORS SOARED. Three heavy depositors who were ex pected to assist were the first to draw aud took two-thirds of the sum available. This frightened the small depositors. The Cheyenne National Bank will liquidate in full. The oalling in of loans by the exam iner or receiver will put a cramp on some local concerns, as the bank was practically carrying a good many men. The bank started In 1886 and has always beeu con ducted aggressively by young men. BLAINE'S RECIPROCITY SOHEME3. Tbe Negotiations With the British West Indies and Guiana.

AMERICAN STEEL PLATES. Successful Tests Made at the Naval Proving Grounds. Washington, Nov. 14.— The second of the three competitive tests of the armor plate* manufactureredintho United States for modern vessels of war was made to-day at the naval proving grounds at Indian Head, Md.,twenty miles down the Potomac river. To-day’s test demonstrated In the opinion of naval officers that this country can produce as good, if not bet ter armor for naval ships than is produced abroad. On the whole the tests were most satisfactory to Secretary Tracy and the ordnance board, though tbe firing showed defective tempering of the plates. Two plates tested were from Carnegie & Cos., one high carbon nickel steel plate and the other a low carbon nickel steel “Harvey ized” plate. The Bethlehem iron works of Pennsylvania furnished the high carbon nickel steel .plate “Harveyfzed,” and this stood the test better than the other plates. BOUNCED FOR WRITING A BOOK. A Pension Office Clerk s Rap at Official Life Resented. Washington, Nov. 14. Secretary Noble to-day dismissed from the service Lewis V. Bogy of St. Louie, a clerk in the pension office, for having written and pub lished a novel of an objectionable character on official life in Washington. In making his report on the subject to Secretary Noble, Gen. Raum says: “The book has sca-cely a redeeming feature be tween its covers. Its motive seems to be to present official and social life in Washington in the worst pos sible light.” In his indorsement dismissing Hr. Bogy, Secretary Noble says: “The book is slanderous of a good and industrious people, and further retention of its author in office would be to the harm of the service.” FOUGHT LIKE A TIGER. A Negro Defies a Court and Its Offi cers After a conviction. Elizabeth, N. J., Nov. 14. —This morn ing Judge MoCormick sentenced Samuel Beekman (colored) and Jennie Wylley, his white paramour, to ten years each in“ state prison at hard labor.

Two deputy sheriffs seized him and tried to hustle him out of the room, Beekman, however, fought them off. FOUGHT LIKE A TIGER. Other officers went to the a'ilstance of the deputies and Beekman in turn fought them off. Still others joined in the struggle and Beekman kloked, bit and clawed at them like a tiger. It took twelve mou to overpower him and plaoo him in a cell. After being looked up be cursed and raved like a madman. Jennie Wylley was revived and was led off to her cell.

A Fearful Eight Presented by the Corpse—He and a Fellow Workman Said to Have Quarrelled Just Before the Scaffold Broke —The Survivor's Close Call and Disappearance. Chicago, Nov. 14.—James Charles broke the record to-day with a frightful fall of nineteen stories. He was a terra ootta op erator , and was et work inside the roof of the new Masonic temple. He and a companion named John Wil son erected a temporary scaffold, and it was on this that Charles was stand ing. A small pieoe of timber had been placed against the braoes to prevent tbe men from falling. Below was nothing but space, and as the frame work gave way Charles made a frantic effort to save him self. He failed, however, and went down with the broken timbers. COVERED IN THREE SECONDS. The distance was oovered in about three seconds. Every bone in his body was crushed and tbe corpse presented a fearful sight. Wilson was standing a few feet back from tho shaft aud saved his life by clinging to the side supports of the scaffold.

Richmond, Va., Nov. 14.—Mrs. Jeffer son Davis and her daughter, Miss Winnie, accompanied by their host and hostess, Gen. and Mrs. Anderson, visited tbe Westmore land Club to-day to see a picture of Mr. Davis, recently made by Browne.

Cowardin, tho vice president, Thomas M. Rutherford of the house com mittee and Roswell Page of the library oom mittee, together with Gen. Dabney H. Maury and MaJ. Robert 8. Archer, friends of Mrs. Davis. PLEASED WITH THB PICTURE. Upon entering the handsome parlors some time was spent in viewing the life sized portrait of the late president of the confederacy. And this work of Browne, which has been so favorably commended, stood this supreme test, the gaze of wife and daughter, in a manuer that should be os gratifying to the owners of the picture— the Westmoreland club—as it must be to the artist, The satisfaction given the near relatives of the leader of the “lost cause” was clearly written upon the oountenanoes of the wife and daughter as they eagerly and tenderly looked upon the life-llko present ment of one so dear to them. Their ex pressions of gratification were unstinted, and Mrs. Davis at last said in earnest and expressive accents: “0,1 think it is a beauti ful likeuess. It is entirely satisfactory.” CHICAGO'S ANARCHISTS. One of the Prisoners Who Had a Re volver Fined SSO. Chicago, Nov. 14. —The anarchist cases were resumed this morning.

BERLIN’S BANK BREAKS. THE EX’STENOE OF A FINANCIAL CRISIS DENIED. The Larger Banks and Commercial Institutions Declared Solid The Bourse Given a Severe Bhaklng Dp. A Disaetroua Decline in the Value of Many Securities—The Press call ing for an Investigation. Copyright, 1891, bit the N. Y. Auociated Press.) Berlin, Nov. 14. —Despite the excited articles which have recently appeared in the newspapers proclaiming a financial crisis bore, uo crisis exists, and, notwith standing the failure* of Private Bankers Hirichfeld & Wolff, Frielander & Sommer feld and the house of w hich Herr Mass was tbe head, and the trouble t ireatonlng other houses of the same character, the position of the large banks and greater financial firms remains firm, and tbe public confidence in the general situation Is unshaken. Tbe run of the depositor* on private banks has continued steadily during the post week and has been accelerated since the surrender of Herr Moss, but tho money deposits and securities of all kinds which have been withdrawn from the smaller concerns have been deposited with larger financial institu tions. EFFECT ON THE BOURSE. The bourse, doubtless, experienced a se vere shaking up, not through tbe losses arising from the failures, for the firms men tioned hud uo large engagements with bankers or operators on the exchange, but maiuly through the revelation of tbe ‘ ‘flash’ 1 nature of the prosperity whioh was supposed to be permanent and genuine. In each case the collapie affected depositors dealiug with second or third rate bankers paying a high rate of interest on their deposits. Un der the prevailing system private banks take on deposits shares without guarantee ing to return the identical stock, but merely au equal value of the sarno stook. The Bystom has been repeatedly denounced as tending to encourage fraud and tbe publlo has been warned again and again against intrusting investments to men able to use them in their personal speculations. KNOWING ONEH NOT SURPRISED. The present developments cause no sur prise among the leaders in nigh financial circles, who have long expected that the “bubble” houses would burst. Some firms of greater importance than any which has yet collapsed, finding that the run of tho public was threatening their existence, have submitted a statement to large finan ciers, and are obtaiuing assistance from them to meet calls mode upon them. Naturally, though there is no panic, com mercial depression is co-existent with the decline ot values on the bourse. a disastrous tumble. The period of general inflation which reached a climax last year, has been suc ceeded by a persistent reaction downward. Since this reaction set in the shares of the Dlsconto Gesellschaft, a bank of the highest repute, have gone down 83 per cent., the stook of the Handel Gesellschaft hosdeclinod 75 per cent., that of the Darmstadt Hank 61 per cent, of the Dresden Bank 54 per cent. ,1 of the Harpsner mine 164 per cent, of the Boohum union 60 percent., and of the Laura mine 59 per cent These striking figures carry their own comments. During the week just ended the bourse lias really been little affected. Since Saturday last the shares of the Harpener mine have lost five points and those of the Deutsche bank two points, while Prussian fnuds have actually scored a fractional rise. The sura of the matter is that the busi ness community, though awaiting brighter times, feels assured that the basis of busi ness banks and of bankers is strong aud safe. mass’ bio splurge. Herr Mass, the seif-confessed ombozzler, lived with the same ostentatious extrava gance displayed by Herr Wolff. He had two houses, one at Charlottenburg and a splendid residence at Swinemunde. He entertained extensively and his grand wine parties and banquets were the subject of much comment. As usual in cases of tbo kind the cry is raised by certain journals that the govern ment ought to interfere as a h poo ml provi denoe for investors. The Germania de mands that the government shall assume supervision and regnlation of the dealings on the bourse. The Kreus Zeitung declares that half the banks in Berlin are rotten and u rges the government to institute an in quiry into their condition. friction over an inscription. The municipal council of Munich have questioned the burgomaster of that city as to the truth of a report that the Emperor William on his recent visit to Munich in scribed his name in the golden book of the city, adding the words “supremo lex ragis voluntas.” The statement was admitted to be true by the burgomaster. The Bavarian press protests strongly against the assumption Dy his majesty of prerogatives never conceded to a Bavarian sovereign, and the organs of the Friessin nige party profess to find in the inoident an illustration of the despotic ideas of the em peror, which contact with the parliamentary party must correct. The Reichstag will resume Its sitting on Tuesday next. The report that Prince Bis marck had taken up his residence in Berlin for the session of the Reichstag is untrue. It is not yet known when the prince will appear in the bouse. His health requires careful attention and he will undertake parliamentary campaign only when assured of his ability to do so by his physicians. OUB PORK. The official inquiry Into the report that American pork infected with trichinae had been imported into Dusseldorf brings out the fact that the diseased pork did not bear the stamp of American inspection. Conse quently there will be no interference with the admission of American pork, the healthy condition of which has been cer tified to. BARON VON BARNEKOW’B ESTATE. The case of Mrs. Katharine Robinson and Miss Ida Green, who have been suing for the estate of the late Baron von Barnekow, has just been decided in favor of the claim ants. Miss Green, the courts decide, is entitled to call herself Baroness von Barnekow, and receives the whole of the baron’s property after his debts are paid. Years ago Baron Kjell von Barnekow, an officer of the German army, after a life of dissipation, fled to America, and, after a varied enroer, became a runner for a hotel in Ban Francisco under the alias of Fred Green. MARRIES HIS MISTRESS. While employed in this capacity he be came acquainted with a girl named Galli gan. The couple lived together, though not legally married, but after the birth or a daughter the baron yielded to the im portunity of the girl and married her, thereby under the laws of California making his daughter, though born out of wedlock, his legal issue. The baron soon resumed his dis-ipated life, neglecting and fi-ally deserting bis family. His wife applied for and was granted a divorce. Baron von Barnekow subquently returned to Germany, falling heir to the family title and estates. Without obtaining a divoroe he married again. DEATH or THE BARON. In ISB7, a year before hi* California wife obtained her divorce, the baron died. Hi* second marriage was naturally illegal. Without knowing that her husband was dead Mr*. Greeu obtained a divorce, and later on married a sailor named Robinson. A sister of the baron, Countess yon Moltke, wife of a major in the army, a near relative of the field marshal, suspecting the truth, instituted a search, whioh resulted ia the fluding of the former wife and child of the baron and led to the establishment of their olaiins at the legal hairs to the large though heavily encumbered estate. The war department has concluded its experiments with American corn, and hat decided to recommend the use by the army of the tread made of equal proportions of corn and rye. It is believed that the depart ment of the interior will follow this exam ple. Hon.

He also shows that he appreciates fully the extent of Mr. Parnell's devotion to the woman who sub sequently be made his wife, for he writes that all these attacks made against Mrs. Parnell are against one for whom Mr. Par nell made most appalling sacrifices. Con tinuing, Mr. Davitt declares that at tacks upon Mrs. Parnell will in no way serve the cause of the Irish people, and he oonolude* hit letter by stating that in the United State* there is the keenest feeling of indignant regret at the billingsgate character the controversy between the Parnellite* and McCarthyite* has assumed.
