THE MINISTER CENSURED.
CHILI SAYS HER REPRESEN
TATIVE MISLED HER.
Senor Pedro Moutt, Chilian Min
ister at Washington, Telegraph
ed Hla Government Frlda That
Thing; Were Coins Forward All
Right.
Santiago de Chili, via. Galvkston,
Jan, 27. The correspondent of the asso
ciated press hits had interviews with
several members of the Chilian cabinet.
Ia his conversations with these gentle
men he was told that Senor Pedro
Montt, the Chilian minister at Washing
ton, misled bis government as to the
status of affairs in regard to the difficulty
between the United States and Chili.
From statements made by the minis
ter referred to it appearsthat the Chilian
minister at Washington sent a cable des
patch to his government Friday last in
which he stated that the settlement of
the matter was proceeding in a satisfac
tory manner.
JLonuon, Jan. 27. The correspondent
of the Times at Santiago de Chili today
telegraphs that the text of Chili's reply
to the ultimatum of the United States
hasn't yet been disclosed, that it will not
be made public until Saturday.
MjThe correspondent further says that
Chili, relying upon advices received from
Minister Montt as late as Friday, that
pacific utterances were given him con
stantly by Mr. limine, the American
secretary of state, considered that a set
tlement had been practically arranged,
especially on Chili, through President
Montt, had given a counter assurance of
friendly leeling and ot a desire to satisly
all reasonable demands.
President Montt, the correspondent
adils, is now seriously compromised.
Fortunately fur the tranquillity of Chili,
the entire nation places confidence in the
patriotism and prudence ot I'resident
Montt. Everything in Chili remains
quiet so lar.
COLLECTING THE TAX.
The Bachelor Are Paylnic up
I.Ike I.ltlle Men.
According to appointment, the com
mittee appointed by the Spinisters' club
for collection began their campaign on
yesterday afternoon, and met with suc h
decided success that they have no doubt
of liquidating the Flower Missiou debt
within a few days. The Citizkn hopes
tc give its readers a full statement of the
bachelors' fund, when the committee
have completed their rounds.
Une young lady was heard to say, on
the committee's retiring from a bache
lor's place of business, "Isn't he gentle
manly? It was really a pleasure tube
there." Another remarked tout "all 01
the real nic e bachelors paid their hues
without any hesitancy." A witness ol
one bachelor's experience with the com
mittee said be bad never heurd so bril
liant a sully of wit, and such ready
repartee as was interchanged between
the committee and the bachelor." The
committee promised to report one buch-
elorusa bencbciarv ot the Mower Mis
sion, in appreciation of his generosity,
despite the condition of his purse, A spin
ster was beard to remark ulter calling
upon one who pleaded bnancialinability
thut "it was a good thiug Asheville was
a resort, lor bow else could the girls
(after marriage) support these numerous
creatures who were not able to take care
of themselves, except by keeping boarders
or teaching school."
Dark overtook the committee before
their work was half complete, so muuy
bachelors are yet to be seen. But as the
territory is so luige and the number ol
culls so great, the committee determined
to subdiv ide into smaller bodies say otic
or two in each division and thusuccom
plish the work more rapidly. The un
wary bachelors will thus be accosted by
less formidable forces than on yesterday
and will be taken unawares in many in
stances. In order to obviate any difficulty
that might arise by a division of the
original committee, each bachelor is
given a receipt, on payment of his tax
thus warding off a second appeal, Ow
ine to consideration ot the "hard times'
so prevalent, it was decided to usk for
only $5 each this ycur, no matter wnat
sum the bachelor s age might warrant,
It is rumored tbut a reception is soon
to be given to the bachelors who so
kindly co-operute with the Spinsters'
club in their benevolent scheme and the
receipts held by bachelors will be required
as tickets of admission. Let the good
work go on !
A DARING TH1KK.
Home Person Mteala the Tele
phone llox at the Depot.
For some time past there has been in
the waiting room at the passenger depot
of the Richmond and Danville railroad
a nickel-in-the-slot telephone, for the use
of persons who desired to communicate
with people up town.
The 'phone is frequently used, and
many pieces find their way into the
cash box attached to it. Up to yester
day the money in the box had not been
taken out for some time, and about $5
had accumulated.
Some time yesterday afternoon a dar
in thief, who evidently thought the
matter ought to be looked after, entered
the waiting room while no one was
present, and lifted the box from its
moorings. He left immediately, and at
Inst accounts had not given any ultima-
tion ol his identity or whereabouts, or
an intention of returning the $5.

Orders From the Vatican.
Paris, Jon. 27. Monignor Richard,
cardinal, archbishop ot Puns, who a
few days ago received a letter from the
pope in which he was requested to in
struct the French clergy to cease all op

lhation. has written to Ins holiness de
claring that he is unable to communi

LOOKING FOR A II Hi HALL.
The Democratic Convention Must
Have Lots of Room.
Chicago, Jan. 27. An attempt is being

date only 8.000 people. The World s
fair oeoole control the building and ex
pected to tear it down next month, but
may let tne democrats nave it.
Chicngouns will have to pay from $60
000 to $75,000 tor the expenses of the

be in tickets to the convention ball, it
will be to their interest to have the
largest hall they can get.

A WONDERFUL SCHEME.
ELECTRIC ROAD BETWEEN
ST. I-Ol'ia AND CHICAGO.
One Hundred Miles an Hour
Blralictit as a 8trlnic Telephone
Connections Between all Trains
The Farmer will Also be In it,
St. Loris, Jan. 25. A company has
just been incorporated in Springfield, 111.,
lor the purpose of building an electric
road from here to Chicago. Among those
interested are Gov. Francis, Congress
man S. W. Cobb, lolin YY. Harrison, I.
G. W. Steadmau, Web M. Samuel, E. S.
Kowee, William H. Thompson, president
of the bank of commerce; Dr. Wellington
Adams, the inventor of the first success
ful electric motor, and John P. Kaiser.
They represent several million dollars.
The company proposes to build a
double-track road, as straight as an
arrow, without a curve in it. On this
road it is proposed to run electric cars,
which will travel at the rate of 100 miles
an hour, making the distance in two and
one-hull hours, instead of eight as new.
The power stations will be at Clinton,
111., where the company will operate its
own coal mine for fuel, using electric
drills and mining machinery.
In time, the entire line is expected to
become a boulevard, the tarmer's houses
slandingon city lots, while behind them
will stretch the wheat fields. The houses
will lie lighted and heated by electricity
and the reapers, mowers aud threshers
will be driven by chained lightning.
An electric block system will be operat
ed and the truck will be automatically
illuminated a mile ahead and a .mile
behind each car. Trams which are on
the same section will have telephone
connection and coniinnnicalion may be
had whether the trams are moving or
standing still.
Dr. Adams says neurly the entire
right of way has been secured, and that
within a lew weeks the contracts will be
let. The company will endeavor to
have the line in operation in time tor the
World's Fair. New York World.

is manliest, the court room being packed
with spectators. The piisoner is in
good spirits and evidently believes that
he will finally be nquiltcd.
