London. Jan. 26-All tho daily papers Of this
city publish long editorial comments this morning
in regard 10 the message sent by President Har-
ri,on to the American Congress, explaining the
nrcs.nt status of the dispute between the Govern
men,s of the United States and Chill.
The Times" says: The weak point IN Mr.
Ilarrisons argumcnt j. the absence of any evidence
that the attack upon the American sailors was
