Ko word has been received at the navy department from the commodore re porting any new phitseiu the situation. At the department of State a cipher cablegram from Minister Kgan was re ceived this morning. The cablegram was translattd and laid before the President about noon. Secretaries illaine and Tracy were im mediately summoned and there was a long conference. At 0 o'clock the fol lowing ollicial statemont of the contents of Minister Kgan's dispatch was made public: "The State department received this morning a telegram from Minister Egnu, dated Santiago, October 28, In wlileb ho gives the following as tho reply of tho Chilian Government to tho President's telegram of October 23, asking reparation for the recent mur der of American sailors In the streets of Valparaiso: "The minister of foreign affairs re plies that the Government of the Unitod States formulates demands and advances threats that, without being cast back with acrimony, are not ac ceptable, nor could they be accepted in tho present case or in any other of like nature. He -lot s not doubt the sinceri ty, rectitude or expertness of the inves tigation on hoard the Baltimore, but will recognize only the jurisdiction and authority to judge and ?unten tho guilty in Chilian territory, lie says that tho Administration and judicial authorities have been Investigating the affair. Judical investigation tinder Chilian law Is secret, and the time has not yet arrived to make known the re sult. When that time does arrive ho Will communicate the result, although he dots not recognize any other au thority competent to judge criminal eases than that established by the Chilian people. Until the time arrives to disclose the result, of Ihe Investiga tion ho cannot admit that tho disorders in Valparaiso or the silence of his de partment should appear as an expres sion of unfriendliness towards theliov ernment of the United States, which might put In peril the friendly relations between tho two countries." jSro reply has been made to this dis patch jet" What will bo its nature is altogether a conjecture. Tho most plausible t heory advanced is that the suggest ions courteously and diplomat ieally conveyed In Acting Secretary Wharlon's dispatch, that this (lovoru nient had no doubt the investigation would be made and reparation afforded, will now be renewed in the shape of a stern and formal demand for some im mediate assurance of proper action on the part of the .Junta, and thai if these be not forthcoming Mlulsier ICgan will take passage on the Haiti more for the United Mates, t he.a severing diplomatic relations between the two countries. Washington, Oct. HO.?The Chilean * trouble was the main topic of discus sion about the State ami Navy depart ments today, ami the opinions most generally expressed there were that a demonstration of force will he made sit once. A rumor that gained considera ble credence was to the effect that in structions have hern sent to all availa ble vessels to hold thoinselves in readi ness for sailing orders. Maval author ities assert that our naval force is strong enough to Impress Chile with n sense of the danger that lies in the mainten ance of her delimit attitude, this conn try having the disadvantage, however, ol not possessing convenient coaling stations. Very few persons of prominence who were asked tor an opinion today about the present aspect of affairs woutd al low their names to ho used. Senator Edmunds and Senator Ctlllom were among the exceptions. Tho former had an interview with Secretary Tracy this morning, lie told a reporter that he was sure this government would be llrm and just and would uo the ri^ht thing in the right way. He said he hoped the Chileans would bo reasonable enough and sensible enough to act properly. .Senator Cullom said that the situation looked ugly, and he thought the United States would be obliged to teach Cliilo a lesson. It tho Chileans did not change . their tactics at once the only thing for this co :ntry to do was to send our war ships down there, "and give them the 'mischief." JSearly all the naval ofllcors who have serve I in Chilean waters believe that Chile would rather engage in hostilities with the United Stales than offer the semblance of an apology. It, is tho Chilean nature, they say, to have things their own way or light, and these olli cers pretend to believe that unless the United States backs down actual hos tilities cannot be avoided. A diplomatist here said that he could not see how actual hostilities could be avoided, and in this event no great naval engagement in Chilean waters need bo looked lor. The Chileans, he said, nought loud sounding glory, and they sent one, or t wo of their Best ships to the Pacific coast. The Chilean bra vado was insane, and before Chilean arrogance could be laid in tho dust in finite damage would he done to Ameri can coast ci'ics. some hnol18ii opinions. London, October 21).- -The Telegraph, referring to the Chilian embrogfio, says: "President Harrison was per fectly justified in acting as be did. Doubtlees minister Kgan's appoint ment has turned out to be the worst that could have been made. His action was a notorious violation of tho obli gations of neutrality. But there is no reason in the world why tho Chilians should adopt a defiant attitude. If they refused to make thu investigation and to punish Ihe guilty persons, they wero acting under the'impulse of in sensate pride. It will be necessary for the United States, doubtless sorely against their will, to give them a salu tary lesson. The Chronicle thinks tho alfair is hardly in tiler for war or even mobil izing the United States navy. It says that Chill will doubtless lind it more prudent to apologize, punish the as sailants of American sailors and pay compensation rather than to re<k hor ironclttds in an encounter with the United Slates. Tho Post, after remarking that the naval inferiority of tho United States ..Will make It dilllcult for her to coerce ( hili, expresses the hope that, hoth par i^ms will modify their attitude befon proceeding to hostilities. The Post then enters into an elabc Mgument, quoting from aulhorl oi ? iternational law, and giving H^BK,, instand s to ptovc the In validity ?

Pauis, Oct. 30.?The Petit Journal publishes uewa from Madagascar of the massacre by nativ m of the French sol diers forming the escort of a medical odlcer. Tho advices say that Dr. He zlat, the chief of the medical staff of th. Preach colony at .Suborvovliie. was descending tho lietstb >ka Hirer, en route to Majunga, escorted by eleven 'native *oldiejs, forming a part of the "auxiliary French forces in that district. They were suddenly attacked by a band of Mn'lag?8car? bandits, who opened fire on lle-rn from the river banks, whore they hud ambushed themselves so suc cessfully that the French doctor's paity was right uudor their nlies before the presence of tho bandits became known. Tho riali vc soldiers formlog Dr. He '/.hit's escort behaved bravely and promptly returned tho lire opened upon them from tho jungle. The doctor's bout was ke going down stroam as fast as possioic. while tho escort an swered the bandit's fire. Dr. Hezlat was ono of the first to succumb to the] attack. He was shot through the body as he whs emptying his revolver at the natives hidden on tho banks. As he staggered, and was upon the point of falling, a second shot hit him, causing him to fall into the river where he was subsequently dispatched withassogales, thrown by tho bandits from their hid ing places. Fight or the native soldiers from log tho escort were also killed by tho bandits, who plundered the baggage of tho doctor and took possession of : everything portable. A detachment of1 troops has been seut in pursuit of the j bandits, but there is not much prospect that t hey will bo captured, unless be trayed by other natives. Troop* nt the World'? Fair.

Unlike many other schemes connected with the Exposition, this ono has long Since moved from the hypothetical state to actual fact, and to-day gov ernors of every Stato and Territory aro planning and working for tho success of the enterprise. In response to an in vitafion from Col. Edward 0.

Gen. Miles, U. S. A., is expoclod to preside. Polk At lOil/.abeth CUT. Nohkolk, Va , Oct. 2?.?Col. L. L. Polk, the President of the Farmers' Alliance, in speaking at Elizabeth City to day, said in part: "1 have known farmers to leave t heir crops knee high In grass to go to the court house and for hours -it in a hot room to hoar hot house politicians speak and teil them to stick to tho party. They stick and the dance of death goes on. "Alter election day, th? sticker said, 'all In darkness down here, what, of the night, and the answer comes: 'all is well, plow on.' "They talk about politics; tht Alli ance is as full of politics as an ugg is full of meat. Yes, sir, we are Into poli tics and in there to stay. They talk about party. What is party ? It is a nice little collar with a chain. 1 do not care who is nominated 1 will vote as 1 please. Who has a patent right on politicsr It depended on whether either party recognized farmers as the balance of power whether thore would be a third party. The people have risen in their might and assert that they have a right to holp rule this country and thr-y are going to do it." I'olk then advocated tho sub-treasury bill and when he called for pledges to support it nearly every hand went up. He said cigtecn States were pledged to this scheme. Tho ToimrHMce Troublen. N"n ox vi i.j.k, Tonn., Nov 2.?At an early hour this morning 200 convicts at Oliver Springs were liberated by a band of armed and mountod men, who rode into that place from tho direction of the mountains. After liberating tho pris oners the stockade was set on firo and burned. The convicts for tho most Dart were furnished with citizen's clothes by their liberators. The band had no trouble in setting the convicts free.

This would bean advantage lo the cotton farmor or plaotcr in that it would enable I urn to raiso plantfttlou supplies much cheaper thau now oh-1 tained from tho West or Northwest. Also it wou.d enhance the price of cot ton. "Resolved, further. That this con roa tion urge cotton growers to bo more careful in handling their cotton.

Ho has been turned down l>y Postm ister General Wanamakcr. and his recommendations aro no longer worth the paper they are written upon. It is a peculiar state of affairs, and it is especially annoying, not to say embar rassing, to the Independent Republican leader. He is said to have Congression al aspirations, and so long as ho was permitted to dole out the fourth-class postofliees in various parts of his State he expected to manipulate the wires and capture a Congressional nomination, providing tho Ronublicans every regain control of the House of Representative*, something which secm3 almost impossi ble at tho present writing.

He has not sent In his resignation, but ire supposed from the tenor ol his letter that he meant him to understand that the position was va cant in September. Thackston was grauten two weeks vacation, and he is now in Chattanooga. His action is very strange to tho^e who know him. Ho was assailed right and left on the School Journal question, hut all of his friend-* i?oileved him innocent of inten tional wrong doing. His friends, even the best ot them, admit that he made a grevious mistake in the matter, but none of his political enemies overcharg ed him with Intentional fraud, The criticisms of the state press and the public scorned to have been too much :v-r hiui, and he h;<s given up Ins position. Mr. May Held had perfect confidence in his assistant, ail hough ho admits that a great mistake was made In the School Journal matter. Mr May (leid had noth ing to do with the Journal beyond giv ing certain facts in connection with the business of his office. Unli is some may think that there was a shortage in accounts, it may be as well to slate that Thackston had no I contro! ov< r any money pasdng through theo fliese. Iiis continued absence and leaving tho stato permanently must be ascribed to his desire to avoid criticism on the mistake ho made in the School Journal matter and avoid giving the present, administration any further trouble as a member of lt.?Spartan burg IIcr.il!.
