New Mexican Chains Umpire.
A Washington special states that the
filling of the vacancy in the Mexican
claims umpire, caused by the death of

ferred would be by lot. The Indian |
eases, amounting to thirty-two millions,
might fall to the Mexican umpire, and
the interest of his country, and it is con-
Tended that it would Recessitate the bias
lf his judgment. 1t is also said Mexico
,annOt consistently ask any of the
European nations to name the Umpire.
