COMMISSIONERS IN A IaSGlE.
4 Controversy Likely 10 Suiiiiy the Aers Of
tine chi'ian Claims Court.

wAsnISGrox, Dec. l3.--Tte Gillian
claims commission Is il tangle which
threatens TO aailify its work. TIE trouble
has arisen cut Of the claim Of the heirs Of
d DArcy & Biiier for so, 900 for srns sold
On credit TO the Chjiians when they wsre
fighting sog Independence against spaia.
The Chilsan counsel raised the objection
that al the time the contract was made the
United States hal not recognized Ghlli's
independence, and consequently that ting
claim cannot stand against the ChiliaH re-
pablie. President Clapareds and Commis-
.ioner Cana, who represent the Chiiiaa
interest, sustained the technical objection,
and Commissioner Goode, who represents
the United States, opposed it.
The importance Of the issue lies in the
fact TIA, the United States protests that
technical point such as that set Up by Cali
cannot be raised before q commission Of
arbitration, which should be governed by
rules OF equity. The dissenting opinion OF
Commissioner G0ode severely arraizns the
Chiiian representatives for pleading teehDi-
csiities and for onsisterey in matters of
attempted proof. SO strong case has the
nited States representative made that
motion for a rehearing has beep fisd, but
it i. doubtful neither the COMP ssion will
reopen the controversy. Pending the de-
ci.i0n Of this point, however, no other
claims will be taken up
An extension of the time during which
the commission may 81, IS necessary 10 the
of its work, but such an extea-
sion can be had only by consent of both
governments. In view of the controversy
there is reason TO believe that the time viii
not be extended, and that little will be ac-
by the court. The treaty nm
der v hich the commission was appointed
was drafted practically by President Harri
son. it is understood, ami it is said that tue
pending controversy Was rendered possible
by the failure of the treaty to define pro
perly the functions and jurisdiction OF the

A UNIQUE LEGISLATURE.
Competition Of Thai Of Prince Eoward island
Under New Law.

MONTREAL, Dec. l3.-The Legislature
that bas Just been elected in Prince Edward
Island is unique of its kind. Previous to
the last session the Assembly consisted of
two houses, but an act WAS passed amalga-
mating them, and reducing the number Of
members from 43 to 80. The act provides
that lJ of the so members shall be elected
by the whole electorate, which IS based
upon manhood suffrage, and 10 by men who
own real estate to the value of S,Is and
and upwards.
The members elected by the whole cleo
torate are to be styled "assemblymen, and
those elected by property holders only are
to b. ralled "Souncilmeu,' and all are TO
sit in one legislative chamber, in which all
shall have equal rights and powers. 1t Is
also provided tiat there shall be no change
in the Legislature so constituted, unless
authorized by vote of tw0-thirls of its
members, and that in the event of change.
the same proportion of assembly men and
"councilmen" shall be maintained
Accompanying this &c. are seis disfran-
chising the officials of the Dominion gov
ernmeut residing in the province. including
all railw ay msn, fishery inspectors, etc.
How the new state of alft.rs elll work re-
mains to be seen, but rs the government

tanned By an enormous sjorlty, it is safe
to say that there will be ue further change

reduced : per POUND and % per cent. al

LIVING IN A M0aIo OF THEIR OWN.
Death Brisos to lisAt Recluse Family Of
Bachelors and Maids.

HAGrnsrowN, Md, Dee. I9.-By the
death of Miss Catherine MeAfee. near An
liz tam. an interesting family of old hachel-
ors and maids have been brought 10 public
notice. There were in the family the
mother, two sons and three daughters. Miss
Catherine " ho had been sick for some time,
became worse ard sank rapidly until Mon
day last when she WAS 10 all appearances
dead. The body WAS being prepared for
burial when she revived, and funeral preps.
rstions were postponed until night when
she was pronounced fully dead.
r Like the rest of the family, Miss Cath
crime had always worn the p!sinest clothes,
and the others we're surprised on opening
her trunk to find, besides $1,000 in cash.
three fine silk dress patterns uncut. Miss
Margaret insisted that the money and elk
dresses should be put in the coffin with
Miss GATHERINGS body, as they were her
property, but tho others objected.
David McAfee came TO lIsgerstown TO
buy some clothes for himself and brother
to wear at the funeral. The family has Ii
good horses on the farm, but he walked all
the way, 80 miles. The body was buried
a, Foxvilie. in the mountains. The funeral
procession started at s O'Clock in the morn
ing, moved 9. miles to the burial place, ard
reached home at 3 o'clock the following
morning.
The McAfees are well-to-do. and their
live stock, of which they possess great
deal, is of the very best. None of the fam
ilv knows what the others have, Ms in
stsnced by the $1,000 and silk dresses in the
dead sisters trunk. The family lives in the
plainest and most primitive manner ard
still uses the old-time fat lamps.
