Washington Mm The
Vergi n of It.
Washington, Jan. 19. There was
lull in talk today, with reference to the
Chilian matter, on the house side of the
capitol. The disposition was to await
the receipt of the president's message
before endeavoring to form a decided
opinion on the subject. The feeling ex
pressed was nearly all of disbelief in
war as the probable outcome of the
trouble. The members could not say
in what way they expected the trouble
to pass, but there was a general concur
rence ol opinion it would do so in some
manner or other. A number of 'demo
cratic representatives who were talked
with deprecated a war with so small
nation as Chili, and said the United
States is large and strong enough to over
look a great many things rather than to
proceed to extremelies. During the
afternoon a report was in circulation
that the situation had assumed slightly
a more pacific aspect. It was rumored
Great Britain had intervened and offered
to bring about a peaceful adjustment of
the relations between the two countries.
JSo official, confirmation or this rumor
could be obtained by the members, but
it found credence with many from the
fact it bad been anticipated an amicable
arrangement might be reached through
the friendly interposition of some third
nation and Great Britrtn, with her vast
interests in Chili, was looked upon as
the most likely to be' the intervening
power. -.
' Willing to Second the President.
Washington, Jan. 19. Should the
president recommend congress to declare
war against Chili, the vote of congress
would ' be one of the most emphatic
affirmatives ever recorded in the capitol,
but there would be a minority, and there
the maker of history will find the two
alliance senators Kyle and Peffer.
What Irby would say, were he here,- is
not known. Kyle thinks war with Chili
would be a national disgrace, and that
the idea of going to war with so small a
country is criminally ridiculous: Pefler
said :
"Perverted doctrine of patriotism is
responsible for the war feeling. The
idea that the trouble at Valparaiso con
stitutes a cause for war, springs from a
mistaken sense of nonor. A lot of our
sailors, most of them, probably .intoxi
cated, became parties to a brawl, and be
cause two or three of them were killed
we must bring about at an enormous
expense, the death of many ot our peo
ple. The proposition is perfect foolish
ness." .
The cabinet did not pursue the discus
eion after Secretary Blaine's retirement
from the meeting today, bo that any die
patches he may have bad in his poses s
sion could not be fully considered at
that time. It is understood the subject
will be taken up at a point where the
discussion was interrupted, when the
cabinet meets again, which may be to
morrow, and iu the meantime the cor
respondence will be withheld from con
gress. It is learned officially tonight
the president's message will not be sent
to congress tomorrow.- - While official in
formation on the point does not extend
beyond tomorrow, there are strong sur
face indications that the president has
practically determined to postpone final
action on the matter ' until next week,
and this gives color to the belief that
conciliatory dispatches have already
been received and more expected. It is
known' the president would strongly in
dorse any croposition. for a settlement
of the question at issue, on any peaceful
basis consistent with the honor and dig
nity of the nation. ' '
The Judgeship Race. -
Washington, Jan. 20. Senators
Squire and Allen have signed a letter
addressed to the president stating that
in case Mr. Bill could not be appointed
United States .circuit judge, they were
in favor of Judge Hanford, and set forth
in the letter many excellent qualities of
the man who is now district judge of
Washington. . : y
It may be stated authoritatively that
Senator Allen ia not in the race. He
said today that he was not to be consid
ered as a possibility. The fact is that
the president would like to appoint Sen
ator Allen under certain circumstances.
When ' Allen's name was mentioned to
him he stated quite positively that he
thought there had been changes enough
ia the senate for the present, and he be
lieved that Senator Allen 'was making a
very good senator, and that the people
of Washington would not care to see
hsm replaced by pome new man. There
is no hope whatever for the appoint
ment of Joeepb Simon,- of Oregon, and
as the Oregon delegation does not make
any other recommendation, it gives the
president quite" a".lee way of going to
another state. -
THE CHILIAN VJBRSION.
Some Extracts From tlie Kenort Pre
sented to J ul sre Foster..
Valparaiso, Jan.. 26. It is true the
Chilian government notified Captain
Evans of the Yorktown that it was un
able to guarantee the safety of t'le refu
gees on board his ship, if he undertook
to transfer them to any departing
steamer, and neither could the govern
ment prevent any steamer on which
they took passage, from being searched,
in any Chilian port, at which the veseel
might touch while on their way north.
There was no change of mind on the
part of the Chilian authorities in regard
to the refugees, and iu proof of this it is
only necessary to look at the facte by
the following statement by a high au
thority, in which it is claimed that the
government is powerless in the pre
mises :
"The government-has no right, under
the constitution of the country, to inter
fere with the .courts or public prosecu
tors, and could . not prevent the .seizure
of the refugees in any port of Chili they
touched at on the way in any direction
to a neutral port. .
The Chilian Matter Postponed Through
Blaine's " Illness.. .
Washington, Jan. 19. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en
tirely to the consideration of the Chilian
question. The proceedings were' oniy
temporarily interrupted by the slight
illness of Secretary jLSiaine. Xliere is
reason to believe the government has re
ceived dispatches through the Chilian
minister, looking to a peaceful solution
of the questions in dispute, amX. they
were submitted to the cabinet today.
This may- possibly do away altogether
with the necessity of referring the" ques
tion to congress. The session continued
until 2 o'clock. . The only information
in regard to the proceedings was that no
conclusion had been reached in the
Chilian matter ,
The Coldest Might In Years.
St. Paul, Jan. 19. Reports are of the

tered 26 below at 7 o'clock this morning.
At Minnedosa, Man., the minimum last
night was 44 below.' At Pierre, S. D., it
was 24 below. At Huron, 34; at Moor
head, 38; at Duluth, 30. Tha warm
wave is rapidly approaching from the
northwest. . ' "
Secretary Tracy is Very Busy.
Washington, Jan. 19. Secretary
Tracy was very busy before he went to
the cabinet meeting today. Soon after
reaching his office he had a long conference-with
Senator Cameron, chairman
of the senate naval committee. The
secretary was also today in consultation,
as usual of late, with his staff officers,
on various matters concerning present
operations of the department.

' Paws, Jan. 19. A . cabinet- council

Washington, Jan. 1S). It was re
ported at the. capitol today that the gov
ernment of Great Britain had taken .
steps to bring about a more friendly
feeling between the United States and
Chili, and will intervene to effect a set
tlement of the trouble. A member of.
the foreign . affairs committee of the
house said this afternoon that he had
not received the information officially
but that he had no doubt of its correct-.
ness. It is said Great Britain has
offered her good offices and would endea
vor to arrange a basis on which an am
icable agreement might be reached.
A Chilian Vessel Wrecked.
London, Jan. 19. The Pacific Steam
Navigatiin Company's mail steamer
John Elder, from Valparaiso for Liver
pool, was" wrecked in the Straits of Ma
gellan. All the passengers and crew of
the steamer were saved, but the vessel
herself will be a total loss. A dispateh -to
the times from Santiago de Chili says '
the news of the wreck is causing much
excitement in that city, owing to the fact
that it is generally believed that it was by
this steamer that a number of refugees
who sought safety at the American lega
tion had left the countiy. The passengers
are proceeding to-Concepcion, a Chilian
port 270 miles southwest of Santiago.
The local authorities have orders to ar
rest all refugees found among the ship
wrecked people. The mails on board
the steamer were lost.
BuHineM at a Standstill.
Chicago, Jan. 19. Reports from many
points in Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas
state that blinding snow storms have
raged for the lest twenty-four hours, and
all busihess is at a standstill and trains
are delayed. Dispatches from Texas
state the rain storm of Monday turned
into sleet, and the live stock are suffer
ing terribly. This is the coldest spell
Kansas City has experienced, the ther
mometer registering 25 degrees below
this morning, but later the weather
moderated. It was 26 degrees below at
Atchison, where much snflering was
caused by the cold. Last night in Min
nesota and Dakota was another cold
one, but today it is somewhat warmer.
Private advices from Cherokee nation
says the streams and pools are frozen
over and many cattle were drowned by
going onto the ice in search of water and
breaking through.
The Charleston Ready for Sea.
San Diego, Jan. 19. Cipher dis
patches received from Washington by
Admiral Brown appear to change plans
in regard to the movement of the
Charleston, which was expected to sail
for San Francisco this morning. At any
rate, the Charleston is making uo prep
arations to move this morning. Yester
day afternoon a diver was sent do"wn to
examine the cruiser's bottom. His re
port to Captain Remy is that the vessel
is cleaner than was expected, lne en
gineer also ' reported the machinery in
good condition, and not in need of over
hauling. The amunition brought here
by the San Francisco gives the Charles
ton a complete store.
In the Cabinet.
Washington, Jan. 19. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost en
tirely to the consideration of the Chilian
question. The proceedings "were only
temporarily lnterruped by the slight ill
ness of Secretary Blaine. There is rea
son to believe the government has re
ceived dispatches through the Chilian
minister, looking to a peaceful solution
of the questions in dispute, and they
were submitted to the cabinet today.
This may possibly do away altogether
with the necessity of referring the ques
tion to congress. - ' ' -
- Chilian Boughs to Be sentenced.
. Valparaiso, Jan. . 19. The three
Chilian roughs found guilty in the fis
cal 's report of the attack on the Balti
more's crew have applied to Judge Fos
ter to appoint an advocate to make a
plea in their behalf, and one was ap- :
pointed. Upon this advocate present
ing a defense the judge will pass sen
tence. . - -
