Great Britain and Germany have
joined in an appeal to Chill not to
20 to war with the United States.
There is reason to believe that dis
patches have been received in Wash
ington from Chilli looking to a
peaceful settlement of the dispute,
though no official confirmation
could be obtained. This belief was
strengthened last night by the Of
fetal announcement that the Presi-
dents message on the CHILEAN affair
would not be sent to Congress to-
day, as intended, and it is prob
able that the message will be held
until next week, if it be sent in at

Thousands of persons in all con-

remains of Cardinal Manning in
London since Saturday last, and so

dead prelate's memory that when

lister in which the body is lying in
state were opened there was a line
Of mourners q half-mile long wait
ing to enter. At night when the
doors were closed there were still
thousands who were unable to gain
admission. A striking feature of
this manifestation of sorrow at the
death of the Cardinal is the great
number of Protestants who have
gazed upon the remains. The
funeral will take place Thursday.
