Peate ®r War—Which ? 2 A. V. Jan 25-The news received at this hour indicates that there is little likelihood of war. By withdrawing Matta's offensive note, withdrawing the request for Egan r s displacement and offering to submit the question of the riot to a neutrial power or the United States Supreme Court, Chile has practically backed down. In the end, it is probable that our full demands will be exceeded to and that the first concessions are made by Chile to prevent too great a fall at once from an untenable position. The gates of Janus are not likely to open. The message of President Harris on transmitting the correspondence with Chile to Congress on Monday is a good summary of the entire controversy. It is a matter-of-fact and temperate document and will commend itself to thanking people. The responsibility now rests with Congress—and Chile. The South American Republic has been given the ultimatum. It must make suit able apology, make adequate repara tion and withdraw the Matta note which contained such a gratuitous insult to the President of the Uui ted States. This done the contro versy ends. This refused, and the whole matter is in the hands of Congress to support the suggestions of the President or to back water. Peace or war-- which ? AM AXNWEK I'HOJI CHII>E. A Complete Acceptance or all Demands. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—This Government to-day received a long message from Minister Egan con veying an offer on the part of the Chilean Government for a settlement of all the existing difficulties with the United States. This dispatch confirms in every particular the Etatements made in the Associate Press dispatches received from Santiago last evening, which was in effect that Chile had agreed to with draw the offensive note sent by Senorftlatta; to withdraw its re quest for the recall of Minister Egan, and to submit the Baltimore affair to the arbitration of some neutral nation, or to submit the matter to a decision of the United States Supreme court. Egan states these propositions at greater length than the press dis. patch, but the exact additions can not now be ascertained. There is reason to believe, however, that the Chilean government not only offers to withdraw the offensive <note but addition oilers to apologize for it. It also agrees to the position taken by the United States in re gard to the right of asylum and safe conduct of the refugees. Egan's dispatch was submitted to the Cabinet at its meeting to-day. The entire question was discussed, and it was understood that differ* ence of opinion was developed as to the propriety of accepting the offer without modification so far as it re lated to the submission of the ques tion of Chile's liability for the at tack on the sailors ot the Baltimore to the arbitration of a neutral nation or to the decision of the Supreme Court. Without reaching a decision the meeting adjourned. The President will doubtless com municate Egan's dispatch to Con gress but will probably not do so for several days unless it is called for by the House. President Harrison's message to Congress, was well received and highly commented upon, by said body, on Monday. The position of the President in the Chilean affair will gain for him hosts of friends, especially by those who claim Ire land aa their native soil. This is what the President says of Shields who was cruelly beaten by public of ficers of Chile: '"Upon information received that -p t , t 'rick Shields, an Irishmen and roV . biy a British subject, but at .tVP c a fireman of the American i-teamer Keweena in the harbor of Valparaiso) for repairs, bad been subject to personal injuries in that city—largely by the police, I di rected the attorney general to cause the evidence of the officers aiid crew of that vessel to be taken upon its arrival in Sail Francisco, and that testimony is also herewhith trans mitted. The brutality and even savageness of the treatment of this poor man by the Chilean police would be increditable if the evidence of Shields was not supported by other direct testimony, and by the distressing condition of the man himself when he was finally able to reach his vessel. The Captain of the vessel says : "He came back a wreck; black from his neck to bis hips from the beating ; weak and stupid, and is still in a kind of paralyzed condition and has never been able to do duty since." A claim for reparation has been made in behalf of this man for, while he was not a citizen of the United States the doctrine long held by use as expressed in the con sular regulations is: "The princi pals which are maintained by this government in regard to the pro tection as distinguished from the relief of seamen are well settled. It is held that the circumstance that the vessel is American is evidence that the seamen on board are such . and in every regularly documented merchant vessel the crew will find their protection in the flag that covers them-" I have as yet received to reply to our note of the 21st instant, but in my opinion I ought not to delay longer to bring these matters to the attention of Congress for such ac tions as may be deemed appropriate." EST ELL A ITEMS. Samuel Hoagland an aged and re spected citizen of our township, was buried at the Pardoe cemetery on Friday last. George, a four year old son of S. L. Bedford, of Millview, was buried at Bethel, on Friday. He was a bright inteligent boy and was only sick two days with croup. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community.

Boyle's and attending school, has gone to Auburn, N. Y., where he has been employed to work in the machine shops.

EDITOR. —1 thought that I would step in with my little con tribution and tell a few things that has happened in this part of the town. Your scribe has just come home from the funernl of one of the oldest inhabitants in this part of the county, Samuel Hoagland, he de parted this life on last Sunday morn ing Jan, 17, at 4 o'clock. By his death we loose a fine neighbor and an upright man, there could be a good deal said of him concerning his early life, when this county was a howling wilderness. The pastor of the Forksville charge officiated. I did not hear his name but he is a fine talker and made a good im pression. I must not pass without saying a word for A. A. Collins, the undertaker, who rendered excellent service in waiting on the mourners to mak« them comfortable and then to distribute the pall bearers with appropriate badges. Mr. Collins is a man in the right place and calcu lates to have everything first class. Madam rumor has it that one blooming widow of fifty or more, has taken to herself a shy husband of thirty. We wish them comfort for all life. ROUGH AND READY. ADDITJ ONAL LOCAL. Local Institute.
