CHILE SLOW TO
SETTLE CLAIM
American Minister Mav Be
Recalled If Chilean Gov-
ernment Fails to Act.
Washington, Nov. 18.—.The Also))
claim against Chib- tor more than a
million dollars which has been pend
ing for 35 years ini- assumed a criti-
cal stage.
Mr. Dawson, the American minister
to Chile, is now on his way to Wash
Ington, having left Mr. Plerpont in
charge of the legation, and it Is not
improbable that if the Chilean govern
ment. does not consent to a filial settle
ment of the claim with interest in Ihe
next few days or agree to a protocol
for Us reference to The Hague court,
the American legation in Santiago will
be closed and its archives placed in
the hands of the American consul for
safe-keeping. Intimation to tills effect
has been given to Minister Cruz, rep
resenting the Chilean government It,
Washington.
This action on the part of the stall
department, is not to be taken as a
formal severance of diplomatic rela
lions with that country, and It. Is not
probable that Chile, will withdraw her
minister front Washington. No tilti
matum has been given Chile, but this
government's purpose in withdrawing
its diplomatic representatives from
that country is in the way of a protest
against the Interminable delays thin
have characterized the policy of
Chilean government concerning
claim.

Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 18.—United
States Senator Stone discussed na-

the Donux r<ii.!c party iu a speech hero
tonight. The address had been
heralded as the probable keynote ot
the party in the next campaign in
this state so far as the tariff and
national expenditures are concerned.
Senator Stone assured his hearers that
I lie chances for Democratic successes
are growing. He then plunged into
a discussion of the tariff declaring
I hat after the Republican arguments
"for infant industries” and “the neces-
sity of protected American working-
men against the cheaper labor of
Mil rope,” had been nullified by economic
advances, the party evolved the argu-
ment tliat protection was necessary
to assure manufacturers "a reason-
able profit on their investments.”
He questioned the constitutionality
of levying duties on such .grounds
and added:
"One class is singled out. and it is
undlsgulsedly proposed to levy taxes
upon nil others in order to insure a
profit upon the investments of this
favored class.”
Senator Stone declared that the
Payne-Aldrich schedules average
higher than those of ihe Dingley law.
