This news is looked on here as con-

that Senator McLaurin would take up

1t Is expected that his family will
shortly move to the capital, although
no direct intimation to this effect has
been received here.
Politicians in Columbia and those
well acquainted with McLaurin be-
lieve that this move means the practi-
cal abandonment by him of his politi-
cal career in this state. Following
the dramatic scenes of the last two
days in the senate, the news has un-
usual significance. Interest through
out the state had been excited by this

London, Dec. 12.-The Times, in it's
second edition, prints dispatch from
Valparaiso, under today's date, which
says:
The first symptom at the present
juncture of a possible awakening of
warIike excitement among the Chilian
public is the announcement that a
massmeeting of working people is to
be held at Santiago Dec. 13 to express
approval of the action of the govern
ment in dealing with the urgent ques-
tion. Even this apparently is merely
an Offset to another meeting promoted
by the advocates of peace at any
price.
The buying of ships to take the
place of vessels of questionable eff
cheney, the mobilization of the fleet
for maneuvers and the strengthening
of relations with friendly neighbors,
Colombia and Ecuador, are not re-
garded here as signs of aggressive in
tention on Chili's part, but only as
natural precautions evoked by the un.
expectedly threatening demeanor OF
