The Chili= Note, after apologies, proposes that "the case be

submitted to the Supreme Court at Washington, to the end that that high tribunal, with its learning and impartiality," may determine without appeal whether there be any ground for reparation, and in what shape it should be made. The police are excused, on the ground that the civil war was only just over, and it is intimated that the request for Mr. Egan's withdrawal will not be pressed. The Note ends by the usual declarations of good-will. The Chilian incident is thus closed, and we shall hear no more of rumours of war between the two Republics.
