Question of decentralization TO Arbi-
+-ation But Not to the Members OF
the supreme Court-ae Thinks That

terest.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-President Harri-
am "a understood TO have sent after the
cabinet meeting to-day a reply through
Minister Egan to the note Of Senior Peirrelra.
The President is said to have expressed
satisfaction with the tone Of the note, and
=, have signIfed willingness to submit
ava ouestion of naturalization to arbitra-
ton. but not to settlement by members of
our supreme court, expressing the opinion
that that would be an unnecessary innova-

NEED NOT SALUTE OUR FLA0.
II is said that the President will not ask
that Chile salute our flag, and also that he
will not ask for the recall OF Minister Montt,
anncipating that Minister Montt will be re-
called voluntarily by his own government.
Itis still thought at the navy department
that there may be fresh outbreak tY the
Chilean populace if the Yorktown returns
Ia Valparaiso or upon the vessel which is
sent there if she does not go back, and that
itmsy be necessary to send several vessels
there. The proceedings at the banquet TO
by given to ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs
Malta tomorrow night are awaited with
great interest at the navy department, and
al the state department too, as afFording
probable indication Of the strength of
the anti American feeling.
