The Virginia. Alliance men are now
IN session in the city Of Richmond,
,.u1 at the time we go to press the
,eyelorments are not such as to JUS
,:fy us in predicting what will be the
result Of their deliberations The
lcdv is composed Of representative
farmers of Virginia, with Democratic
..,tecedents and Democratic proclivi-
lies. and can be trusted not to drift
so far FROM their political moor'nsS
rs to imreril greater interests in tho
effort to correct cvile 10 which lie
farmers have been too long subjected.
IN the disposal, therefore, OF the point
icnl question which to some extent
seems to be agitating the body, we
lave no fear as to the result. In one
;esrect harmony seems to prevail IN
the body viz: that checks must be
,rt upon the evils to which they are
subjected in some way by the.rail-
roads. hut the means by which they
hope to accomplish that object has
not vet been disclosed. Everyone
IT all interested i'll the welfare of
Virginia will hope that the remedy
will be found,
The debt question. Which to some
extent, seems to be engaging the at
rention of the body will be doubtless
left where they found it. in an unset
led stare. with no brighter prospect
# an adjustment of the intricate mat
ter than heretofore. The following
resolution unanimously adopted, in
.iicntcs that the members are too
level headed for us to have any fear
shat they will go far out of the way
in other matters:
Resolved, That We deem it both
patriotic and iudicious to pay our
taxes i'm money and not in counons'
ard we hereby earnestly beseech the
fax PAYERS in the larger cities not 10
sacrifice our State upon the altar OF
commercial curidity-
Enough has not come to light on
the sub-treasury scheme to speculate

matter. nor indeed as to the resolu-
1ions, 1OO or more which, it isstated,are
being considered by them. We shall
hope to cnlighten orr readers as 10

gagement i'll Chilean waters. Your
enemy seeks loud-sounding glory, and
he would send one or two of his best
ships to the Pacific coast. No one
would know whittier they had gone,
until they appeared in San Diego
or San Francisco harbor, and
then there would be trouble.
You do not think men who are not
ignorant could be 80 foolish, but you do
not know these Chileans. Such aconhict
could have but one result. Chilean ar
rogance would be laid in the dust, but
these hot heads would have caused in
finite damage to some of your coast
cities, for you have no Notifications
worthy the name. You have many
fine warships, though, and to us who
know those who desire to be your an
tagonists, it would not be surprising if
a naval engagement in one of your Cali
fornia harbors were to take place within
sixty days"
THE SITUATION LOOKS UGLY.
A reporter saw Senator Cullom after
he had an interview with Secretary
Tracy. Speaking of the Chilean affair,
the senator said: 1.-The situation looks
very ugly. Those little chaps down
there are very sassy, and think we
shall be obliged to give them lesson.
If they do not change their tactics at
once, the only thing for us, is to send
warships down there and give them

Three Thousand Lives Lost and Much
Property Destroyed.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-A dispatch received
from the Hiogo, Japan, says the earth
quake of Wednesday last destroyed the
towns of Nagoya, Gifu and Ogaki. All
the public buildings and most OF the
smaller structures were thrown down.
Fire in Nagoya completed the work of
destruction. 1t is estimated that the to-
tai number of persons who lost their
lives by the disaster will exceed 5000.
Many vessels are reported wrecked
in the vicinity OF Hiogo, and dur
ing the seismic disturbances the waters
of the lakes in the surrounding country
were violently agitated. A few portions
OF the Niphon islands escaped the earth
quake, and Kobe suffered comparatively
little damage. Thenumber of Europeans
killed is small. The various roads are
blockaded by immense heaps of debris.
Traffic on the different railroads is sus
pended, and all the telegraphic lines are
entirely Frustrated. Full details can
not be learned for several days to come.

Think The Chilean Question Hinges on
the American Elections.
LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Times, today,
publishes letter signed "An Ameri.
can," asserting that the United States's
attitude in regard to Chile is entirely
due to the approaching elections. Tbs
evening newspapers comment at length
upon the strained relations existing be-
tween the United States and Chile. Ac-
cording to the Pail Mall Gazette, there
is no doubt that much of the excitement
is dde to the elections. ''Nobody," :"
says the Gazette, seriously believes
that President Harrison will push mat
ters to extremities. Neitherthe sympa-
thies of other countries. nor the major
ity of the Americans will be with him. ("
The st. James Gazette referring to the
same subject, remarks: "Whether
President Harrison 8 rising indignation,
or Blaine's electioneering calculations
will result in war, is doubtful. The
Chileans are not now in mood to sub
NIT to bullying. If the Americans have
grievances for which they can legiti-
mately demand redress, Chile has equal
reasons to complain of the conduct of
Egan. Possibly if the ex-secretary of
the land league were recalled, the diff
Guilty between the two republics would
be more easily arranged"
The Globe says there is question
whether if President Harrison's govern
ment pushes the quarrel to an actual
declaration of war, it may not find itself
taken at it's word in q way both unex-
pected and undesired.

ONLY ONE WAY.
The Dispute with Chile Must Be Settled
hY Enrca.

Inc dispute with Ch1Ie Must BE SeUOleu
by Force.
New YORK, Oct. 30.-A Washington
special says: The naval officers are
confident that the dispute with Chile
can only be settled by display of force
by this government. Talk about avail
able vessels and the possibility OF assem-
bling sufficient fleet before Valparaiso
to compel Chilean respect is animated
among naval men, and the officers are
beginning to think of active duty. ADJ
miral Gherardi unofficially has suggest
ed to the navy department that he be
ordered to sail for Valparaiso at once
with the Philadelphia and Concord.
1t seems probable that his suggestion
will be acted upon, though no orders
have yet been received. The presence
of a United States feet would probably
bring to Valparaiso large fleet Of ves-
sells Of the British navy. British inter
ests in Chile are large, and it is assumed
that any demonstration by the United
States would be watched with concern
by the British fleet. and that if a deter
mination to shell the city be reached by
this government, the lives and property
of the subjects of Great Britain would
have to be considered. The suggestion
of British Intervention is not likely to
deter the United States from following
course that will compel respect for our
flag, and expression of regret for the
taking of the lives OF men wearing the
uniform of the United States.
