A War. Cloud Hovering Over Chile and
the Argentine Republic.
VALPARAISO, Dec. 25.-Diplomatic re-
lations between Chile and Argentine
may be seriously interrupted. A cor
respondent at Buenos Ayres telegraphs
that serious trouble is likely to grow out
OF pamphlet recently written by Mr..
Guerrero, Chilean minister to Argentine,
and Rianchi Upper. Guerrero and Tup-
per represented the Chilean Junta de
Gobierno in Venezuela during the revo-
luton against Balmaceda's government.
They said in the pamphlet which may
cause war between Chile and Argentine,
that they used certain sums of money
in bribing telegraph operators to reveal
the secrets sent to Europe by Bal
maceda during the revolution in
Chile in 1891. These statements
are regarded as insulting in the highest
degree to the Argentine Republic. The
leading newspaper in Buenos Ayres de-
mands the withdrawal of Guerrero as
Chilean minister. Guerrero insists that
the statements are correct. The affair
is causing great excitment in Argen-
tine. Exchange has fallen. Congress
will request the government to give full
details of the controversy.
BUENos AYREs, Dec. 25.-The mounted
police were called upon yesterday to

anyone. Feeling runs very high, and
the hot-headed enemies OF Chile call
loudly for war.

with the help of corn knife which his
wife succeeded in slipping into his
hand, he fought Dutro off after
wounding him severely. Dutro
was brought to Macarthur where
1T was found the man was insane,
and he was ordered removed to the in
sane asylum. Last night, in some way,
he set fire to his cell in the Jail,
and that structure and the sheriffs
residence were destroyed. All the pris-
oners, except Dutro, were rescued, and
he persisted. The flames communicated
to the court house, and when the ac-
count closed it was in danger of destruc-
tion.

and Means to Fight Corbett
Again When His Engage

the benefit of combination of
gamblers. Sullivan declares that he
will be the champion of the world again,
and that he will fight Corbett when his
theatrical engagements are over. This
time he will be backed by business men.

Sullivan was very severe in his de-
nunciation of his hacker and trainer,
and in regard to tie latter, said that be-
ing denied the glass of ale he craved
with his meals, he stole bottles of lager
and drank them in the farm house.

Dim falls the light DER all the dreaming woods;
Athwart The distant western sky are gleams
Of gold and amber; pearly. rose-edged clouds,
Looking so passing fair, one almost dreams.
The opening gate of Paradise hath lent
Some tinge of glory to the dying day;
And earth bound souls, with longing, lingering
gaze;
Would fain rise up and move along that way.
A stiffness sweet aud solemn all around;
The song of BIRDS is hushod; there falls nc
culver
OF r~ustling leaf, or shaking, trembling read.
Upon the fair faint brightness OF tho river.
The crescent Moon CLEANS coldly, dimiy forth;
And in the deepening blue of heaven afar.

The shadows deepen on tbs distant hills;
The highest peak but touched with lingering

And down their ~purpling sidee soft, misty

Wrap all the valleys in a dusky night.

And moonlit waves breaking in foamy limo.
