WHAT "WILL BLAINE DO NOW
Up to the hour when the above state -
*sent was made no reply had been made to
it. What Will be the nature of Secretary
Blaine's reply is altogether a matter of con-
jecture. The most plausible theory
advanced is that the suggestions courteously
-and diplomatically conveyed in Acting
Secretary Wharton's despatch, that this
ireovernment had no doubt an investigation
'would be made and reparation afforded,
-will now be renewed in the shape of a stern
and forme' demand for some inunediate
assurance of proper action on the part of the
Jainta, and that if,these ire not forthcoming
Minister Egan will take his passage on the
Baltimore for the United States, thus sever-
,ing diplomatic relations.
•
A London cable says : The Telegraph,
"President Harrison was perfectly justified
in acting as he did. Doubtless Minister
Egan's appointment has turned out to be
the worst that he could have made. His
action 'was a notorious vielation of the ob-
ligatione of the neutrality. •But there is no
reason in the world why the Chilia,ns should
adopt a defiant attitude. If they refuse to
snake an investigation and to punish the
guilty persons they will be acting under the
impulse of -insensate pride. It will be neces-
eery for the United States, doubtless sorely
against her will, to give them a salutary
The Chronicle thinks the affair is hardly a
matter for war, or even 1,1, mobilizing of the
' United Statee nevy. It says that Chili will
doubtless find it more prudent to apologize,
punish the assailanteof the American sailors,
and pay a compensation, rather than risk
her ironelads in an encounter with the
United States.
The Post, after remarking that the naval
inferiority of the United States will make it
difficult for her to coerce Chili, expresses the
hope that both. parties will modify their
attitude before proceeding to hostilities.
Curious Case of a Child Afflicted With

' An Indianapolis despatch eays : Nellie
Copeland, a child of five years, has been
sent to the insane asylum at Kankakee,

irother with a fork. The child has been
insane since her birth. When six menthe
of age she developed a deaire to burn things'

ot to reeew the hostility, seeing that the

Six or seven other speakers strongly

Want Briggs' Scalp.
A New York despatch says : The coofer-
ence between the Board of Directors of the
Union Theological Seminary and the com-
mittee from the general assembly adjourned
this evening. The proceedings of the two
days' session' were ma,de public. The directors
of the seininary have maintained their inde-
pendence and allegiance to Prof. Briggs,
whose election to the chair of ' Bibical
theology ware vetoed by the general
assembly. No settlement vas made, and
the war is still on; threatening to wax morc
ast and furious.
A Montreal despatch says : The Dominion
Line steamer Ontario and the Allan steamer
Grecian were to sail this morning. The
cargoes were on board, with the exception
of the cattle, which arrived in a special
train at 2 o'clock this morning. The Allan
boat had about 150 head to put on, while
the Ontario had over 400. Both boats are
yet in port, through the mismapagernent in
loading the cattle, and the animals them-
selves have been kept in\ the cars Without
food or water. Besides the loss of time,
this may result in the vessels losing the
market, and this may cost the -shippers
much money. The space -broker for both
lines decided to load the Greciap first, but
in order to do this the Dominion Line tracks
would have to be used for shunting, but the
superintendent of the Dominion Line spiked
the track. Things were thus at a dead -lock,
