London. Jan. o." The Times" has discovered
a. new hero none other than the Procurator Fiscal
n Chilli lie becomes hero a. the strength OF
the favorable opinion expressed by that beautifully
impartial person now acting as correspondent
in Chilli for the Leading Journal of England. the
journal which has taken that country under its
patronage lie is i'll the opinion of his editor
a wcll-informcd. careful observer. 1t is pleas

he completely dcmoshes the story that the
Gillian police took part in the assault on American
sailors. a story which his English culogist had
kindly demolished before him. Ii was an irrita-
ting charge, irritating especially TO persons whose
trade interests lead them TO side steadily with
Chilli and steadily against the United States
Those interests do not however. require that the
controversy between the two American Republics
should proceed too far. War would involve in

charge about the police having been disposed of TO

This is the diplomacy of the music hall-not
too much controversy, hnt just controversy
enough; just enough 10 make the alienation Of
Chill from the United States permanent not
enough TO imperi those commercial concerns Of
England which she seems willing to promote by
darllened and rather devious means. We hear
from ether sources that Chilli is Offering apologies
and reparaton to the United States. not long
since we were told by the careful observer above
referred to that Chill would expect an apology
from President Harrison for his insulting message.
The careful Observers apology for his insult to

The Lord Chief Justice and the Lord Chancellor
