Newspaper Page Textthe MORNING NEWS. I ) ESTABLISHED ISJO.ISCORPOBATEDIWg. V ) j. H. E3TXLL, President. j CHILE STILL VERY SLOW. HAKHIiON TO SEND IN A MES SAGE NEXT TUE6DAY. g e Will Lay the Facts Berore Con *p.e33 in a Very Vigorous Fashion. A U the Developments of the Inquiry by j u dge Advocate General Homy in Hand. Washington. Jan. 15.—The President concluded his examination of the ~piomatic correspondence in the Chilean c utrotersy. and sent the documents back u'tas state department. At the cabinet meeting, which was comparatively brief, lading but aa hour and a half, ho announced this fact, and indicated that the next step in the case would not be long delayed. The whole matter was discussed in a general wa but no notion vraa taken, as tter 'e is nothing to be done vn; : l the correspondence has been published. It is ascertained that the President will ac company the transmission of the corre spondence by a message upon the subject that will probably go over the ground of t ie controversy, and advance certain propositions that will defiue the attitude of the administration in a very positive tre president aggrieved. In view of the general lelief that tho President is considerably aggrieved at the nosition taken by Chile, this message ia ex ited with more than usual interest. In hs annual message tno President made two promises, one condi tional and the other absolute. The latter was that he would at on early date trs'simt the correspondence, tho former that m case Chile took a long time !u an swering he would send a special message. It is understood to-day that he has de termined to combine these two and to send Dis message simultaneously with the documents. The expectation is that he will have the message ready so that it can bo submitted to congress at its meeting on Tuesday next, and it is therefore thought that the earliest time that it con be sent to c ogress will be Tuesday afternoon, or more probably Wednesday morning, as It is us.'.al for such communications to be made to congress as soon as possible after the opening of the day’s session. THE FACTS OF THE INQUIRY IN HAND. The government’s investigation Into the attack upon the Baltimore’s sailors, con ducted by Judge Advocate General Remy et tan Francisco, having come to an end, there is now no reason why the facts thus elicited, wbich would seem to have greatly strengthened the government’s case, should cot ha incorporated in the docu ments sent to congress, espe cially as portions ot the testimony have been muiled to Washington from day 1 1 day, and the last batch of evidence should be here in a very few days. In addi tion to this, Judge Remy has wired a daily report of the proceedings to the navy department, and thus the President has had bef re him a complete synopsis of the result of the investigation, of which he will make use under any oircumstances, whether or not all the testimony should be received in time to accompany the correspondence. A CABLE FROM THE YORKTOWN. A cable message was received at the navy department to-day from Commander Evans f the United States steamship Yorktown, bat Secretary Tracy said it containod no r.f nna'ion of importance. It is said at tho navy department that it is not true that the Miar.tonomah and Newark have been ordered to tbs West Indies. Sen r Montt, the Chilean minister, had a short interview with Secretary Blaine to day. bat it is unders'ood that he had noth ing to commur.ieato indicating a change of policy on the part of the Chilean govern ment.

TO PROSECUT2 A TRUST. A St. Louis Druggist to Fight After Being Driven Out of Business. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 15. —In all proba bility the first prosecution under the anti trust law enaoted by the last congress will be instituted here in St. Louis. W. H. Pearson, who sold his drug store a couple of days ago, claims that he was forced to sell by the local drug trust. None of the wholesale drug companies in the trust would sell him drugs, and he claims that he was boycotted on every hand, not only by the wholesale drug companies, but also by retailers, ana manufacturers whose business is mainly with druggists, and all because be refused to join the trust. Finally, finding that he was being pressed to the wall, he applied for admission to the St, Louis Apothecaries' Association, but was now too late, lie had incurred the enmity of some of the members and could not get in. It was thrown up to him that one of his clerks had sold goods to other drug gists on the black list, all anti-monopoly drug stores being on that list and under the boycott ordered by the trust. Mr. Pearson claims tfcat he has enough evidence to oonvict a number of wholesale dealers under tho United States anti-trust law, and that his evidence can be supplemented by a good deal more of the same kind from ether anti-trust druggists. United States Dis trict Attorney Reynolds says that If Mr. Pearson will bring his evidence before the court big New York and other eastern bouses can be convicted. THE POULTRY AND STOCK SHOW.

Alger for President in case Secretary Blaine should after all not run, and for Vice President if Secretary Blaine should run.

He has given ox Gov. Foraker authority to draw upon him for whatever financial assistance he needs, and has given similar, though not so extensive, permission to the anti Harrison delegates in other states.

BRITAIN ’S_II OUR 0 F GRIEF THE FEDERATION OF MINERS RE FUSES TO CONDOLE. The Body so Democratic That it De clines to Meddle With the Affairs of Royalty—Fears for ths Health of the Princess of Wales and Her Daughter. (Copyright, 1892, by the .V. V'. Atsociated Press.) London, Jan. 15. —The deoorous fiction that the whole nation is overwhelmed with grief at the death of the Duke of Clarence reoeiveil a startling denial to-day Id the proceedings of the greatest workmen's union in England. The delegates to the miners’ federation now holding their annual meet ing at Stoke-on-Trent wore apprised betore assembling that their representatives In parliament desired that tbo federa tion should adopt a resolution of condolence. Tho strong democratic feeling known to suffuse the body made this pro posal hazardous, but it was hoped the dele gates would not venture to deviate from the general custom by declaring that a death in the royal family was no particular business of theirs. This la exactly wrat they did. The telegram from their parlia mentary loader, Mr. Pickard, himself ill with influenza, asked fora vote of sympathy with the royal family, adding: “The queen has always expressed sympathy with ut" HOW IT WAS RECEIVED. Cries of "business" greeted the massage. Tho member who moved a vote of condo lence reminded the delegates that ths queen in cases of accidents in the mines alwuys helped the distressed. In sullen silence the conference listened to speeches in favor of the motion, and then by a vote cf 19 to 13 passed without debate au amendment to prooeed to business. The miners' federation has 260,01)0 members, and it is the best organ ised and most powerful single union in the oountry. It has several representatives in the House of Commons and controls the votes of others. No workman’s combina tion has so freely given to the diatressed In side or outsido of its own ranks, or shown keeuer perception of the sufferings of the proletariat. Interference with the family affairs of royalty being felt to be beyond them they honestly said so. If all of the trades unions of Great Britain were similarly tested the result would be similar. The delegates im mediately proceeded to vote sympathy wif n and substantial help for tho starving nail umkeisof the midland districts, who have loug bean on a strike. THE UPPER AND MIDDLE CLASSES. The upper and middle classes are most keenly touched by the incideate of the Duke ot Clarence’s death. Thousands clad in mourning have flocked to Marlborough nouso to record thoir names, and throughout the capital well dressed folks generally are douuiug some badge of grief. The Gatetle to-night directs that all per sons wear mourning until Feb. 88, while de tailed orders are given to the court and to the army. The alarm ot society people over the prospect of suoial reunions being under taboo, the greater part of the coming Reason will be relieved by the announce ment that the queen recognizing the necessi ties of sooietyJwlll hold tho usual May drawing rooms and levees. Ths Prince of Wales and hia family will not appear In public for a year to come. The Princess of Wales after the funeral is going to some secluded spot in thejiouth of Europe with her daughter. Both are In delicate health and their condition is pow a source of in creased anxiety to the family. THE DEAD DUKE NEVER ROBUST. The death of the Duke of Clarence has re called the faot that he was born prema turely, and that he always lacked the ro bustness of Prince George. The Princosa of Wales has not yet re covered from her grief and prostration. The latest announcement from (Sandring ham to-night is that Dr. Lakiug is detained watching ths Princess of Wales and Prin ces* May, fearing that influenza may at tack them. Prince George, who is still weak from his attack of typhoid fever, is also a cause of anxiety. Doctors have ad vised the Prince of Wales as soon as possi ble to remove his family from tho scene of their affliction. PRINCKRS MAY'S FUTURE. Tho Princess May’s future is undoubtedly a subjaot of deep national interest Asa precedent for her marriage to Prince George, the incident is recalled of the death of the czarowitz in 1865 after his betrothal to Princess Dagmar, now the wife of his brother, the present czar. So profound and universal is the sympathy over her loss that it would be no surprise if parliament accords her some provision as a “maiden widow." If the report be true that Prince George is attaohed to the daughter of Prince Christian, his known strong will makes the project of an alliance with Princess May Improbable. PRINCE GEORGE’S SUPERIORITY. Iq the family circles Prince George has long been recognized as tho superior of bis brother in intellect, force of character and open geniality of disposition. From boy hood be has always held his own against his brother’s pretensions as elder. It is on record, how, quarreling as boys over tho possession of a goat chaise, George promptly hit his brother in the eye, and thon seized and kept the chaise by bis superior strength. Tneir mutual affection was undoubtedly great, but Albert Victor was a weaker vessel. Tho concurrent opinion of those around the throne points to tho future popularity of Prince George if he lives to become king. DATE OF THE FUNERAL. The ouoen has not yet decided upon the date of the funeral, but it will probably be on Thursday next. Cabinet communica tions with the Prince of Wales and queen on the plan of interment have elicited an expression of feeling from the Prince of Wales against auy ceremonial pomp. Tho King of Denmark telegraphs that he desiree personally to attend the funeral if hiß strength permits, and that be will be aco mpanied I%’ the Danish orown prince and his eldest son Prince Charles. Tho czar will send his second son. The day of the funeral will be observed as a day of gener al mourning throughout the country. The governments of Australia are arranging to sus;>end business. The Loudon Stock Ex change will be closed. Mr. Gladstone wishes to return from the south of France to attend the funeral of the Duke of Clarence and Avondaio and Cardi nal Manning, but his friends, anxious to prevent risk of exposure to the severe weathor, have telegraphed him bogging him not to come. Cardinal Manning's Successor. (Copyright, IS>2, by the -V. Y. Associated Press.) London, Jan. 15.—A fierce contest will be waged with the Vatican on the appoint ment of a successor to Cardinal Manning. English Catholics desire the appointment of Bishop Vaughan, who is a unionist, but the Irish party oppoie him, preferring tho bishop of Portsmouth. A Murderer Hanged.

He offered 150 of ground, nit able barracks, and U to furnish eleotrlc lights and all needful conveniences. THE OFFER OF WARM SPRINGS. Charlie Davis, proprietor of tho Warm Springs, proposed to donate Hie land, erect buildings and as au additional inducement would tnrow in free hot water for bathing and the inodicmal waters for which that resort is famous.

However, the board will not decide tills question now, as it seems to be the consensus of opinion that bids should be advertised for for thirty days, and at the end of that time, the proposals opened, lo cations Inspected and the question then de oided. l’h:s oourse was under discussion for some time but no conclusion was reached.

The application from several cavalry companies desiring to become separate or ganizations was not considered, and action ou tho question was postponed until the board's next meeting. The report of tho c immittco on the Chiok amauga encampment was read by CoL Gar raid. It was long, aud a general compli ment to tho soldierly demeanor aud quali ties of the state troops. None of the offi cers would express their preferences for the location of the encampment, because they will have to pass on the bids, JANAUSOHBK ILL. A Physician Orders Her to Reouper ate in Florida.

I DAILY. SJO A YEAR I ■i i CENTS A COPY V ] WEEKLY, $1 25 A YEAR \ ECONOMY MADE AN ISSUE THE REPUBLICANS TRY T3 M&KB fcPORT OF THE POLICY. The Report on Clerks for the House Committees Furnishes Opportunity for Springing the Debate— Boutelle of Maine Puts His Foot in It Badly. Knloa Makes a Lively Bsply. Washington, Jan. 15.—While the com mittee clerkship report was under discus sion in tho House to-day, Mr. Wise of Vir ginia nut orly supported the commit tee report, but went further and advocated tbs appointment of Individual clerks to mem bers. A clerk was necessary, he said, to discharge the duties devolving upon ths representatives. Mr. Boutelle began a speech on the situa tion with tho oxclamation, “What a comi cal old humbug the Democratic party is.” Year after year, he said, congress after con gress, there bad been ths some old tune on one string. He bail sat here yesterday and looked upon the remarkable spectacle pre sented by tbo gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman), who administered to the brethren round him in allopathic doses the medicine of retrench ment aud reform. There was something familiar about it and he had tried to recall wuat it w as. lie had at last been able to do so. It all came back to him. It was very ilmplo. History was repoatlng itself. The performance was simply a repetition of the portrait made by Dickens and the carica ture of Cruiksbank who had depicted that famous event when Mrs. Hqueers gathered the boys around her and administered to them with a long spoon thoir dose of re trenchment and reform in the shape of brimstone and treacle for the purpose of breaking down thoir appetite and saving provisions, [[.slighter.] Now, according to a prearranged form, Mr. I’ocksniff arose, and with "taffy iu ono baud and au amend ment in the other, undertook to follow the groat onward oourse of retrenchment and reform. Then other friends, tho Rev. Chad band ot Kentucky, came in with “Bless you. my ohilfiren," nnd pronounced his bene diction. Thera was more of history an l fun in yesterday’s proceedings than he had ever before witnessed or the floor of tho House. BOUTELLE TRIPS HIMSELF UP. Mr. Boutelle took to task the Domocratio Kfor its lack of patriotism, saying that i last six months he had heard only of one patriotic remark being made by a democrat, and that democrat was a woman. He reforred to tho estimable wife of the present governor of tho great state of New York. That lady, on visiting the execu tive mansion, which for two terms hail been occupied by democratic bachelors, had la an interview w.th a newspaper cor respondent, alluded to tho necessity of re furnishing the house. She bad said on that Occasion that it was not necessary, in order to put the govoruqr’s mansion in order, to go beyond the eonflc.es of the American re public. [Applause on the republican side.] liihe had further said that in order to buy her daughter’s trousseau she had found little occasion to go beyond the Shops of Watertown. When tho flrrna there did not have the article called for, she would buy it of the manufacturers or Im porters. [Atthe word "Importers” thedomo orats burst into laughter, as if the lady’s remark strengthened tho democratic view of the situation.] He then quoted further from Mrs. Flower’s interview, in whiab she states that she is an American through and through, and that she has yet to find is better and cheaper place in which to shop than iu American stores. [Applause on tho republican sldo.] COMMENDED TO THE HARRISONS. Mr. Compton of Maryland commended to President and Mrs. Harrison the gooij advice given by Mrs. Flower—especially In regard purchase of cbins. [Laugh ter and applause on tho democratic side.] Mr. Cummings of New York wished to add to the speech of the .gentleman frons Maine this fact. That under two demo cratic administrations of the state of New York the state dobt had been reduced $7,060,000. and that $3,000,000 had been left In the treasury when Gov. Hill retired— that treasury having noen empty when Grover Cleveland entered into office. [Ap plause on the democratic side.] Mr. Enloe of Tennessee said that he had also enjoyed the spectacle of yesterday and the very harmless debate of to-day. Anil he enjoyed them muob better than he en joyed seeing the representatives of the people marched out of the hall twelves months ago by tho gentleman from Maine (Mr. Reed) “under parliamentary law." He thought that the resolution of the gentle man from Indiana (Mr. Ilolman) might be characterized as an outburst of public con science. It was broad euougli to let iu the Chicago exposition end anything that re lated to the carrying on of the government, THE TABLES TURNED. The gentleman from Maine (Mr. Bou telle) had spoken of Mrs. Squeers and of ttie fact that the had administered brim stone and treacle to the boys. If the gen tleman had road the story further he would remember that after a time the students had overthrown the administration, and taking the long spoon had compelled her to take brimstone herself. That was exactly what the people had done. Twelve months ago the republicans bad compelled the Democratic party to take brimstone and treacle, but the people had overturned their administration and the Democratic party was now brimstone and treacle to the republicans, fl-augbter. ] lie did not think it was courteous In the gentleman from Maine IMr. Boutelle) to read a newspaper interview with a lady whom he claimed for a friend, and who was the wife of the gov ernor of New York. But as he bad donb so, he should tell the House where the last Fet of cblna bought for the white house bad come from, and whether it was not of for eign manufacture. [Laughter on the dem ocratic ssde ] Republican members, rising to a point ot order that Mr. Enloe was not addressing himself to the question under consideratien, Mr. Enloe expressed a hope that the pre siding officer would allow him to flop his wings a little. In the last congress tho czar had cut them off with a hatchet, and ho had to go to his own state to seek that free dom of debate which belonged to all Ameri can citizens. [Laugher.] Mr. Rusk of Maryland demanded the previous question. Mr. Reed- Is the effect of that to cut off debate! f The Speaker pro tem.— The chair will reply to the inquiry that that is the effect. Mr. Reed (dryly)-We will have to go to our own states iu order to have that freedom of debate which belongs to an Amoricau citizen. [Laughter.] The Republic ins of Illinois. Chicago, Jan. 15.—The republican state central oommittee has called the state repub lican convention to meet at Springfield, on March 4 next.
