WASHINGTON, Dec. ~, 1910.
War rumors and alarms are over in this quarter
The attempts at war panic or war fever has fallen
as flat as are the proceedings and debates about the
Doorkeeper of the House. The two great ques-
tons stand now on the same footing. The door
keepers question, am happy to say, has been re-
ferred 10 a select committee Of five discreet mem
bers, who will not, trust, suffer il TO be raised
again. The war question, and all its paraplanalia
of patriotic speeches, of preparation, of bills and
resolutions, is sent to committees Of like discre-
ton.
The epic strain cannot be long sustained in Con-
gress--it must come down to the comic. The
buresque about Cuba had happy effect. II made
every one laugh at the premature enterprise of the
young democracy"
1t would be difficult to create another serious
war panic here. Results have shown that there is
here no war feeling. There is scarcely a man to
be found who is in favor of a war The age Of
chiyalry is gone The age Of common.sense and
money-making and money-sayng has succeeded to
it, in the whole country, from the surf of the Pa
cifc to the roar of the Atlantic. What have the
New Workers or Pennsylvanians, for instance, to
do with war There is not member in either
House, as learn, from those States, that is in IA
vor oft. They and their constituents court peace
and the benefits Of peace. The Southern men, we
know, are actively engaged in promoting pacific
bers who look for advancement through war cry,
but their demonstrations are, as yet, harmless.
There can be no war, unless Great Britain may
choose to strike the blow, aud that is scarcely pos
sibe.
1t is the general expectation and belief here that
propositions will soon be made by the British gov
eminent which our government will accede to.
might aude 10 the opinions Of others, besides mem
bers Of Congress, in confirmation of this opinion
The diplomats here are of that opinion. One Of
them, very shrewd and well-informed man. was
consulted, to-day on the subject, and he gave the
opinion that war was impossible. A distinguished
American politician, now here, who had doubts on
that subject, remarked to the that the opinion of
that minister, alluded to, was entitled to great
weight from circumstances which he was well
aware of
So, if the general opinion here, in and out of
Congress, is entitled 10 any respect, it is conchI-
sve as to the fact that the Oregon question is to be
settled upon terms mutually honorable 10 both
countries.
As to the precise mode of settlement, it is i'm
possible TO state it. The protocol is not yet sub
mitted, but it is written on the hearts and carried
in the pockets of vast majority Of the people Of
both countries.

A debate of the most important character unex-
pectedly sprang up in the Senate to day, upon the
Oregon question, in which Mr. Calhoun clearly and
other Senators indirectly, indicated the position
they occupied in relation to this momentous cues
ton. 1t will be seen that Mr. Calhoun is for nego-
tlaton and against giving the notice. and that he is
fully OF the opinion that the division of that terrific
ry can be amicably adjusted by the two govern

favor of forty.nne, and thinks the President did
