THE CHILL IMBRoGLIo.
Ex-Minister Christianoy Indig-
nant.
THE LONDON PRESS ON MR. BLAINEs
INSTRUCTIONS

New York, Dec. ia Washington dis
patch says the Chili-Peru correspondence pub
lished Yesterday Is generally regarded at
Washington as tending to throw the onus of
the resignation of Caldeion upon ex-Minister
Christiancy. Mr.. Christiancy Is very indig-
nant at the turn Of affairs, and declares that
Mr.. Blaine's letter of instructions to him, as
published, Is forgery, and not the document
received by him at ALL He asserts that the
opening sentence of the letter, which says: SIN
your last dispatch, you informed this depart
ment that the Chiiian government absolutely
refused TO recognize Gen. Pierola as represent
ing the civil authority In Peru and that Senior
Calderon was at the head OF provisional
government" did not appear at all in the
Communication sent to him by Mr.. Blaine. He
declares that he, in terms informed Mr.. Blaine
there was no de facto government In Peru, and
Calderon was recognized by the department of
State in the face Of the advice. Mr.. Christian
cy saysh he shall demand that the whole cor
respondence be called for by the Senate and
published. He thinks that Mr.. Blaine wished
TO forestalI jnst this thing by putting out this
publication under his own direction. 1t is
generally held in diplomatic circles that this
correspondence published so far does not prove
that our Peruvian policy was not shaped SIM
ply TO benefit company of spectators in the
fertilizer about which the war was begun and
the benefits of which Peru was evidently snx-
ions to code to any one rather than Chill.
Comments of the London Press.
LONDON, Dec. 13.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says:
1.-THE impression created by Mr.. Blaine's
dispatches is undoubtedly bad and it would
have been much worse If the anthor was still
entrusted with the direction of the foreign
policy of the United Stats. We feel no appre
hsnsion that the attitude Hurlbut has assumed
at Lima will be persisted in by the commits
sioner who will supersede him. The American
people have too much to do nearer home to set
themselves up as adjudicators among South
American republics, II any European power
were to intervene the circumstances would be
altered.
LONDON, Dec. 13--The Standard, on Mr..
Blaine's instructions sent to the American
minister at Lima, says it may be absurd, but it
is only carrying the Monroe doctrine to its le-
gitimate conclusion to assume chat by and by
we shall see representatives deputed from
Washington to control the relations OF the EN-
peror of Brazil with the European powers and
the savages of Patagonia invoking the aid OF
akUnited States commission to compromise
their differences. 1t is true that Mr.. Blaine
has resigned and Americans will no longer
have to admire the glowing periods in which
he has maintained the pretentions VT his coun-
try, but American diplomacy is uniform. 1t
will be much the same whether dispatches are
penned by Mr.. Frelinghuyscn or Mr.. Blaine.
IL is not improbable that President Arthur
may soon announce that peace is restored and
new protectorate by the United States estab-
lished.

THE RAILROAD WAR.

Progress Made Toward a Settlement.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A meeting of the rep
resenfatives of the trunk line roads was held
yesterday, but no action was taken looking to-
ward an end to the war on Eastern bound
frsights. West bound freight rates, regarding
which there is no disagreement, were discuss
cd, and it was decided to advance these on the
1st of January. The present figure for first
class freight is As cents The rate last winter
was 75 cents for the same class. Although
there was considerable discussion over the
question, rates were not fixed and will not be
definitely settled until to-day. Mr.. Fink
stated that the rates which will probably be
agreed upon will not differ materially from
those Of last winter, though they may be lit
tie lower, and probably will be. A prominent
railroad man stated that after the settlement
Of the question Of the schedule for Western
bound winter rates, the difficulties regarding
Eastern bound rates would be amicably ar
ranged, and also the rates for passenger tariff,
and that in all probability these arrangements
will be perfected within week.

Death of .fndes Edward Fox.

Our citizens will be startled and deeply
panied at the announcement of the death Of
Judge Edward Fox, of the United States Dis
trict Court for the district of Maine, which
took place at about o'clock this morning at
his residence In this city Judge Fox was in
his usual health yesterday and presided in the
District Court. Last evening he complained
of bad feeling in his stomach and his wife
administered some simple remedy which af-
forded him relief. After retiring he again
complained of pain in the stomach and heat
was applied which brought relief and he went
to sleep. About midnight his wife was awak-
ened by his heavy breathing, and on try
ing to wake her husband found it impossi-
bic to do so. Mr.. FL. P. Storer, who lives near
the Judges residence was Immediately sent
for, but when be arrived the Judge had
breathed his last. Death was probably the re-
suit of beart-disease. He had suffered occa-
sionally from dyspepsia for some time
past, but his symptoms had given rise to no
anxiety.
The lateness of the hour at which news of
his death was received renders impossible an
adequate sketch of his life and character this
morning Judge Fox was born in Portland on
the 10th OF Jane, 1915. He graduated at Har-
ward College in 1884 and at the Harvard Law
School in 1887, and Immediately began tho
practice of law in this city. He soon acquired
o large practice and for twenty-five years was
ono of the most prominent advocates at the
Cumberland bar. In 1862 he was appointed
one Of the Supreme Justices of Maine but the
next year resigned and returned to practice at
the bar. In 1866 he was appointed to succeed
Judge Ware as Judge of the United States
District Court for the District of Maine, posi-
tion which he has filed ever since.
Judge Fox's life has been almost wholly de-
voted to his chosen profession, though he has
represented his native city in its Legislature
aud been member of the municipal govern
inert. He was o iudicious counsellor, and a
forcible and successful advocate at the bar. As
judge on the beach he was Independent and
fearless sometimes stern, Snever wavering
In his adherence to what he believed was right
and Just. He was man of quick perceptions and
his judicial opinions and decisions were always
characterized by thorough knowledge of the
law ard by a sound Judgment and clear rea-
soaing which carried conviction and made
them readily acquiesced in. In both public
and private life his career has been an ex-
emplary one. The honors bestowed upon him
by his city, his state and his country were
bestowed upon one worthy to bear them all.
Judge Fox leaves widow and one daughter,
the wife of Gen. Francis Fessenden. His only
son, Edward Winslow Fox, who was a MEM
Der Of the Cumberland Bar and gave promise
Of taking high rank in the legal profession,
died in 1877.
