CHILE Is MAD.

A telegram from Washington says that
the announcement that Argentina and
Chile are on the verge Of war has oc-
casioned no surprise in diplomatic circles,
as friction between the two governments
has been recently very great.
1t is hardly probable that the announce
ment has occasioned surprise in any other
circles. Friction or no friction. it is
about time Argentina and CnAe were get
ting into war with each other, or with
themselves. if for no other purpose than
that Of keeping their hands in.
The average South American republic
can get into a war with equal ease with
or without provocation, and truth to tell
is in an unnatural state when not in a
war with neighbor or on individual ac-
count.
However as the United States are said
to be the exciting cause of the present
friction, and in case of war some jingo
may think it our duty to smash something
or somebody in connection with the row.
the matter is Of more than usual interest
to us. 1t is alleged that the secretly
hostile attitude Of Argentina toward Chile
in 1892, in offering the United States per-
mission to use it's territory for warlike
purposes against Chile. became known to
the Chilean Government only very lately,
and the latter now having excellent in
formation concerning the whole affair,
is very mad.

The death of Judge William s. Barton
Sunday at Fredericksburg removed from
the bench OF the State one Of it's most
accomplished members. OF gentle birth,
he was reared and grew to manhood
amid the most charming society OF the
state. Bringing to his chosen profession a
well-stored mind he achieved success at a
bar that was regarded as among the
best i'm the Commonwealth.
Elevated to the bench where he has
presided for nearly thirty years, Judge
Barton adorned the position with dig
nifty worthy Of its proudest traditions.
He transacted the business Of his circuit
with dispatch. and regarded the ads of
Justice rather than the skill of pleading.
He combined technical knowledge with
liberality Of construction. He bad the
respect Of the bar, and gave in return his
confidence and friendship. Such was the
dignity OF his bearing and the imparti-
ality Of his rulings, that ltigants against
whom he decided were often impressed
by his reasoning, and always convinced
Of his honesty.
Judge Barton's life was an ideal one
for a Judge Self-control. domestic hap
piness. interrupted recently by the ire
parable loss of his beloved wife; the re-
spect Of his neghbors; the affection of
his friends; the confidence i'm the verities

those who knew him best knew him to
be, a genial gentleman. an upright judge.
and a sincere Christian.

IT seems that the facts Of Mr.. Norman
Bevan's romantic marriage to Miss Jane
Staunton, of Chicago, were somewhat
misunderstood, and that when he brought
her back here on Friday evening she had
been his wife for nearly five months.
While she was spending the summer at
Mrs Green's charming boarding house
and being chaperoned by her. she received
a telegram from a friend in Baltimore
asking her TO lunch. That was on the 23d
Of August. She went down on the morn
ing train, and was met by Mr.. Bevan,
who had been attending the Berryville
races. I'm Washington, and together they
went over TO Baltimore. and were married
at the rectOry Of an Episcopal minister
there. Mr.. NJ. b. Payne was the only
person from this vicinity who knew aught
of the matter. and he kept their secret

ming to WarrentiOn, and continued to en-
Joy the summer festivities until the end
of September, when she returned to her
people in Chicago He went back 70

EIRE-INSURANCE.

The Wharton bill, to prevent fre-in-
surance companies from combining or
comforting to make rates, etc, is proba-
bly, more far-reaching than it was in
tended to be.
AS we have said before. we are not
concerned about the Southeastern
Tariff Association, but we are deeply in
terested in the welfare of our home
companies.
If the state Of Virginia is to prosper,
it must pursue the course adopted by the
most progressive States Of the Union,
and foster It's home enterprises. 1t ought
10 legisate to hasten the day
when all of our insurance shall be done
by our own companies, rather than rem
der these companies powerless in con-
tests with stronger and far richer or
CARNATIONS.
We earnestly trust that General Whar-
ton will try TO see if he cannot amend his
bill so that it will not be oppressive to
our Virginia companies, which have been
the means of keeping a great deal OF
money at home and have always dealt
fairly with our people.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January H.
Especially regular meeting of the Ju-
dietary Committee of the Senate took place
to-day, all OF the members being present
except Senator Faulkner OF West Vir
ginia. The case OF 5. Brown Allen whose
appointment as United States Marshal for
the Western District OF Virginia was

thing further was done than giving a
hearing to Congressman Jacob Yost who
entered protest against the cOnfrma-

his objections TO Mr.. Aliens confirmation

The papers filed are understood to be

Note Company of New York, vs.. the
state Of Virginia, and of the collection
Of taxes from railroads during the adj
ministration of Mr.. Allen as Auditor OF
Virginia.
There was no further action taken by
the committee in the matter to-day. Mr.
Allen will now be granted a hearing be-
fore the committee, probably at its next
regular meeting, ana then the case VIII
be referred TO a subcommittee for a re-

of Representative Nost will not prevent

the appointment, and as it was promised
