WHAT MEANS THIS?
Is "Jingo Jeems" Twisting the Caudai
Appendage of Britain's Royal Animal?

fBy Anglo-American caDie 70 the Dlsphtcn-l
LONDON, Enc, January 5.-The Foreign
Office this evening has issued the following
communication TO the press in regard to
the Bering Sea dispute The statements
cabled respecting the correspondence on
the Berlng Sea question between the
British and American Governments are
unfounded. -,
A dispatch was received December 30th
from Mr.. Blame. He made proposals re-
speeding the questions to be submitted Tor
arbitration. With this exception no COM
munication whatever has been received
from the United States on this subject Tor
the past three weeks. and no communlca-
ton has been made to the American Gov
eminent in the same period"
This communication was printed ana
sent to all the newspapers and news agen-
cies in London, ii being the evident desire
of the Government to give the document
the widest publicity. The Foreign once
is a most conservative department, and the
course it adopted in regard to the commu-
nication is startling innovation upon ITS
usual method of procedure and strengthens
the general belief that Crisis IN the seal
fisheries controversy has been reached.
II is claimed here that the preparation OF
eealsk;ns is entirely British industry,
$4,000 persons being engaged IN this work In
London alone.
Since the publication of the Foreign
Office communication the United States
Legation and admiralty Office have been
besieged by persons seeking to obtain IN,
formation of the status of affairs, but all
inquiries have thus proven fruitless.
Doss THIS MEAN wAR-R-R ?
LONDON, January 5.--The Standard to-day
referring TO the Boring Sea dispute, says
ave have very unpleasant aspect. The
rupture between England and France can
not be mentioned without feelings OF deep
regret. America may count upon receiving
the full measure Of courtesy. patience, anu
firmness which England has already DIS
PLAYED. But Mr.. Blaine will do well TO
bear in mind that hrmness will be COM
nensurate. should the moment arrive
for its exercise, with the patience
and courtesy with which he has so
far been treated. He seems extrayagantly
anxious to put himself wrong. Minister
Lincoln cannot too soon on bis return de-
vote himself to ascertaining the resolutions
Of our Foreign Office and communicate
them TO his Government. There Is not
person IN England but would hear IT
proposed with profound regret that shot
should he exchanged between British and
American vessels except IN courtesy. But
II would excite greater regret 70 hear
that the British flag had been insuited and
the national honor not indicated py
prompt reprisals.
-But We can never belisve that the Ameri-
can people viii suffer its public servants
10 force a conflict by wanton outrage upon
our flag. We will gladly bow to the tri-
bupai of international law, but not to the
nod of Mr.. Blaine. We trust that be Will
not persist in menace which u certain 70
DO resented aud resisted"

THE WAY THEY KEPT WARM.
A very amusing circumstance that oc-
Cured to a newly-married couple near
Coleman's Falls, few days ago, is told by
an eyewitness. A young man named
Smith married Miss Jones, and imme.
diately after the ceremony at the home OF
the brides parents the groom invited the
entire company to his new house, the dis
lance of mile or more. for regular old
fashioned house warming. When theparty
arrived at the new dwelling they found
that the groom had prepared everything
necessary TO go to housekeeping with the
exception of fire-wood, and as the snow
was very deep and the weather very cold
the company were compelled to leave, and
the young couple were obliged to retire to
keep from freezing.

Intense excitement was created here to-
night about 10 o'clock by the discovery of
fire in the upper portion of the Peoples
National Bank building. The roof and
upper story were burned, but the portion
occupied 10y the bank was saved. The fire
originated in rear room which was unoc-
cupied, and the origin Of it is unknown.

tive confagration was inevitable. What
the loss is it Is impossible to estimate.

ApuEL AveRTEp BY a PEACE WAR
RANT AND AN ARREST.
ypec.sl Telegram 10 tho Dispatch

Charlottesville. Va. January 5.-Mr.
John S. Patton, of the JsT1sonian RepubH-
can, was arrested this morning ons warrant
sworn out by s. NJ. Keller, chief Of police Of
this city. charged with being about to en-
gage in duel with Mr.. Shelley Lewis. Of
the Harrisonbrg Spirit Of ne Valley. In q re-
cent issue of the Spirit Of he VALLEY in pm
article referring to Democratic congress
men occurred this sentence: The people
who have 10 paw the taxes of which these
congressman draw their $1,000 year have
an idea that when men are sent to Con-
press they are sent there to transact the
peoples business, aud not to keep business
back"
SHARP EEPLy.
This paragraph was copied into the
.Jeffersonidn and commented upon BY Mr..
Patton, who after quoting Republican
nevspapers and Republican senators TO
the effect that the Senate is in Republican
hands. and by the Republican measure
known as the force bill is preventing the
consideration of public business, closed
knowing these facts undertakes to over
look them il is guilty Of what has strong
resemblance to contemplate hypocrisy"
QUITE PERSONAL.
In reply the Shirt of he Valley said in its
last issue: Our only comment on this IS
that the person who penned these lines
must be a low blackguard who does not
know how to discuss political questions in
gentlemanly manner" The Spirit refers
also to some previous reply it had made TO
the .Jeftrsonidn which the Spirit thought
would call for some other kind Of notice
than its usual editorial filings"
BID FOR WAR.
Mr.. Patton saws he never saw this bid for
war. and has no idea what il was. He also
states that a close examination of the
files of the .Jefrsonidn will fail TO dis
close any editorial reference to the Spirit
which could be regarded as rude by any
one not unnecessarily sensitive. The Spirit
was not examined in the Jefrsonidn office
until late Saturday.
BUT MOMENT TO DECIDE.
II took but moment for the gentleman
concerned to decide what was to be done,
and he set quietly about the necessary ar
rangaments. II was arranged for himself
and friends to take the cars at different
points this afternoon. On Sunday morning
the warrant was sworn out'by the Chief OF
Police rs above stated, and after Its IS
suance the party could not have left Char
lottesville by train or by team procured
from livery-stable.
MUCH SURPRISED.
These facts were not known, however,
except by those concerned in the warrant.
and Mr.. Patton was very much surprised
this morning when Captain Keller walked
into the Jef9sonidn office with the warrant.
