THE ARBITRATION
Boundary Dispute Between Bra
iii and Argentine.
CLEVELAND WILL DECIDE IT

Nearly Twelve Thousand Square Miles,
Mostly Peopled by Brazilians, Are to
be Passed Upon-Forth coming De-
cision Awaited with Anxiety.
WASHINGTON, October 8. - President
Cleveland is expected to give his de-
cision as arbitrator of the boundary dis
pute between Brazil and Argentine soon
after his return from Buzzard's Bay.
Baron Rio Branco, special envoy from
Brazil, accompanied by large suite, is
now here awaiting the decision. The
case has been in Mr.. Cleveland's hands
eight months, and as the treaty of arbi-
tration provides the decision must be
made within year, it is being looked
for almost any day. The time for the
decision expires February 10 next; but,
as Mr.. Cleveland will be busy with Con-
gress and public affairs after his return,
he is expected to dispose of the arbitra-
ton question before taking up domestic
affairs. 1t is understood that he has
made the arbitration his special study
during working hours at Buzzard's Bay
this summer. 1t is very complicated
case, the brief of Baron Rio Branco
filling several large volumes, while the
maps, old treaties, ETC., and the briefs of
DIR. Iaballos, the Argentine Minister,
make fair sized-library. Mr.. Cleve-
land has not turned this mass of docu-
ments over to the State Department,
but has undertaken personally to 90
through it and unravel the dispute. 1t
is self-imposed task which the Presi-
dent does out of courtesy to the South
ern Republics, and in the extent of in
terests involved and legal complications
it is as large as any case pending in the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Cleveland's decision will settle
whether the eastern boundary of East
ern Argentine remains as usually given
in maps or is extended by a wedge
shaped projection almost to the Atlantic
coast. If Argentine gains this strip, it
will have a considerable effect on South
ern Brazil as it will almost sever the
great State of Rio Grande do Sui from
Upper Brazil, the remaining connection
being a very narrow isthmus compared
with the general width of Brazil. On
the othe" band, it will give Argentine a
narrow arm of land stretching from the
north to within forty leagues of the At
lantic. The forthcoming decision is
awaited with anxiety by the Southern
ENJOYS, as it means much to the STRAIT
egic strength of the two prominent
South American countries. Moreover,
the disputed territory is itself very val
liable for its mineral and agricultural re-
1t embraces ii 1892 square
mills, with towns and villages having a
population of 5, 1913, most of them Brazil
ians.
Mr.. Cleveland's arbitration is the re-
suit of the treaty made when Dom Pedro
was Emperor OF Brazil. 1t has taken
since then to make the surveys and
present the case, and Mr.. Cleveland's
decision will close the long controversy:
He is obliged under the treaty to give all
the disputed territory to Brazil or to Ar
gentine, SO that there is no opportunity
for compromise that will satisfy both
parties.

May Lead to a Court-Martial.

OMAHA, October 8.-A letter of Colonei
Merritt Barber, Adjutant-General OF Inc
department OF the Platte, to local repre-
sentatives of the Army OF the Tennessee
refusing to have anything to do with thai
society and referring to it in the most
dscourteous manner, may cause court
martial. General Howard was very
angry when he read Barber's letter, ana
said he would "attend to the matter
when he got back East. General Stone
Chairman of the Executive Committees
determined to suppress all correspond.
ence with Colonel Barber, but some. OIL
the committee insisted upon having
copies. Barber in his letter dec ared ne
had never heard of the association anu
cared nothing for it.

Picking viii Not be Allowed to be Plum
dered If Taken.
LONDON, October 9.-The Japanese
government has instructed Field Mar
shall Yamaga to inform the diplomates
at Seoul that he will not allow the Jap
anese army to plumber Picking in case
that city is taken. This assurance will
probably induce the diplomates to stay
in Picking even should the Emperor
leave the capital. They will at any rate
attempt to negotiate a peace by asking
Japan to be moderate in her demands.
The Emperors palace in Picking is now
guarded by Manchurian troops only.
The Japanese army advancing on Picking
is said to have many Coreans in its
ranks.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Prince Kung, the Emperor's uncle, now
President of the Tsung Ii Yamen and
the Admiralty, to whom has been in
trusted the war with Japan, remains in
Picking, where he is occupied with pro-
viding for defenses of the capital. Vice
roy Ii Hung Chang has sent another
army of 5000 well-drilled men into Pc
king. Four thousand rifles were landed
at Taku from Hamburg steamer last
week

EVERETT TOWNSHIP.
Case Involving It's Title on Trial in the
Court of Appeals.

Case Involving It's Title on Trial in the
Court of Appeals.
SAN Francisco, October 8.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals was en-
gagged to-day in hearing the case OF an
Indian woman, Josephine Hatch, against
f. G. Ferguson, Henry Hewett and the
the Everett Land Company. The suit
involves the title to the site of Everett,
Wash, and it is appealed from the
United States Circuit Court of Wash
ington, where the woman lost the case.
The contention of the plaintiff is that
she was fraudulently lured into making
a sale of lands worth $l25, 900 for "a, 600,
and that f. G. Ferguson persuaded her
to give him power of attorney to make
the sale by representing that the paper
she was signing was simple agreement
in the nature of a private treaty of
friendship. The land was conveyed to
Hewett under power of attorney, and
within few months from the date of
the conveyance the town of Everett was
located upon it. The woman cannot
read or write. The defendants alleged
in the lower court that there was no
fraud, and that the land became valu-
able after the town was located.

a Cause of Action May Lie for n Hus-
bands Affections.
Los ANGELES, October 9.-Judge Van
Dyke has rendered a decision upon de-
murrer in the $4,000 damage suit
brought by Mrs. Mary r. Crandall
against Mrs. Clara d. Thompson, which
illustrates the tendency of modern legis-
lation toward strengthening the rights
of women. Mrs. Crandall's suit is for
the alleged alienation of the affections of
her former husband, +. Crandall of this
city, by the defendant, and Judge Van
Dyke overruled the demurrer to the sec
ond amended complaint. In the course
of quite an extended opinion he dis
cussed the point at length raised by the
plaintiffs counsel that Mrs. Crandall is
not a proper party, but that the cause OF
the action, if any, is enforcible only with
or by her former husband. Judge Van
Dyke SAYS of this that the civil code pro-
vides that the rights of the personal re-
lation forbid the abduction of husband
from his wife, or of parent from his
child, or the abduction or enticement OF
a wife from her husband.

SCHOOL FUNDS.
Their Custody in California Belongs to
the County Treasurer.


SAN Francisco, October THE Su-
preme Court has decided that the GUS
tody of State and county school funds
belongs to the County Treasurer, and not
to the City Treasurer, as a legislative
amendment of 1893 decreed. The SUI
preme Court decided that the Legisla-
ture exceeded its power in making such
amendments to former acts. The case
in point was that of Louis Bruch, a prin-
cipal in the public schools of San Jose,
who asked for writ of mandamus on
the refusal of the City Treasurer to pay
his salary as School Treasurer. The
courts opinion, written by Commits
sioner jackson Temple and concurred
in by the court, closes with the follow
ing words:
Il think the law authorizing the City
Treasurer to have the custody of State
and school moneys is invalid, both be-
cause it violates the requirements of uni
formity and the provisions prohibiting
special and local laws in the manage
ment of the common schools. On this
ground, therefore, am of the opinion
that the writ of mandate should be de-

TO ECONOMIZE.
Directors of the whisky Trust Decide
to Cut Down Expenses.

PEORIA, H., October 6.-The directors
of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Com
pany concluded their deliberations late
this afternoon, and adjourned sine die.
The utmost secrecy was observed regard
ing the work done by the directors, and
outside of the fact that the rebate sys-
tenn has been abolished little can be
learned of what the directors have done.
1t is known, however, that the trust has
decided to economic, and that the cler-
ical force at headquarters will not be
nearly so large as in times past. When
the trust houses are in operation there
are about thirty-two running. Each OF
these houses has had a manager at a sal
airy of from 5000 to $3.50 month, 1t
will therefore be seen that when this
vast expenditure is cut off by placing all
the distileries under one manager, which
has been decided upon, it will reduce
expenses about $12, 600 or more month.
Well-informed men say the saving in
this regard will amount to nearly $780,,
900 a year. 1t is understood that John
Beggs, Vice President of the trust, is to
be general manager of all the distilleries,
and that all the selling and buying will
be done by or through him.

THE LOTTERY LAWS.
Alleged Violation by Life Insurance
Company.

Company.
CHICAGO, October 8. - Ex- Governor
John T. Beveridge of Illinois, F. ID. Ar
mold and s. M. Biddison were prisoners
in United States Commissioner Hoyne's
court this afternoon, charged with violat-
ing the postal laws by practicing a lot
terry scheme through the mails. The men
are the President, Vice President ana
Treasurer respectively, of the Mutusi
Life Insurance Company, which is al
legged to be mere imitation in its meth-
DDS of the late Guarantee InvestmenIt
Company, which lately had trouble Win
the authorities. Mr.. Biddison, however,
denies that this is the case, and claims
that his company contains no lottery
element. All the parties to the case gave
bail and were released. Ex-Governor
Beveridge is said to be glad OF the OPP
portunity to show that the company 10
not in the wrong. Assistant States Az
torney Fagin states that in some manner
the subscribers have a chance to ara"
$500 for few dollars.

QUESTION OF COMPENSATION.
Ecuadorian Congress Approves Mahan.
Vetsquez Claim Convention.

EcuadOrian Congress Approves Mahan-
Vetsquez Claim Convention.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Depart
ment of State has been officially notified
that the Congress of Ecuador August
approved the Mahan- Vetsquez claim
convention, providing for the arbitration
of the claim of Julio r. Santos. Ten
years ago this Santos case created in
tense excitement. Santos was natural
lied American, who was arrested in Ec-
uador for participation in a revolution.
His property was confscated, and he
was held in jail without trial. Ecuador
refused outright to recognize his natur-
aliZation as an American citizen. AS
soon as Mr.. Bayard became Secretary Of
State, Captain Mahan and two United
States warships were sent to Guayaquil
to enforce the peremptory demand for
the release of Santos. This had the eff
feet of securing full pardon for Santos,
and the negotiations between the two
countries have since been confined to the
question of compensating Santos for the
injury done him. Little progress was
made until February, 1893, when the
American Minister to Ecuador, Il. B.
Mahan, succeeded in negotiating treaty
providing for an arbitration of the dis
pute, and this convention has awaited
the action of the Ecuadorian Congress
since that time, which has now been
ratified

and United States Congress to call an
international congress of all nations
res.dy to unite for the free use of gold
and silver as a full legal tender without

man act without making provisions for

ton was also adopted demanding that
equal protection be given TO farm prod
nets with other industries in all tariff
legislation, and that committee be ap-
pointed to confer with like committee
of Congress to secure equal adjustment
of schedules. A resolution demanding
protection towool, cotton, hemp and flax

AROuT THE IRISH.
The LuI in fractional Strife Is Merely
Cloak.

Cloak.
LONDON, October 9.-The lull in the
factional strife in the Irish party is mere
" a cloak to internal intrigues. The
Freeman's Journal keeps up its attacks
upon T. NJ. Healy, who is credited with
collecting evidence to prove that the Nc
Carthyites have repeatedly received
financial assistance from the English
Liberals. Mr.. Healy's efforts are directed
to destroy the influence of Thomas Sex
ton and John Dillon in order to secure
for himself the leadership of the party
on the retirement of Justin Mccarthy.
The unity of the party rests upon Mr..
Mccarthy, whom all sections respect,
and it is, therefore, more than ever like
~ that he will not retire for some time
to come.
THE INDIAN NATIONALS.
The British Committee of the Indian
National Congress has invited the Hon.
Edward Blake, member of Parliament,
who is now in Canada, to preside at the
coming meeting at Madras. If Mr..
Blake declines, Michael Davitt or John
Dillon will be invited to preside. The
Indian Nationals desire to associate their
agitation with that of the Irish as repre-
senting the same principle.
LARGEST ON RECORD.
The procession held in Dublin Sunday
in commemoration of the death OF Par
nell was the largest on record. In the
line were political societies from all parts
of the country, every county in Ireland
being represented. Timothy Harring-
ton, who organized the procession; Par
nell's brother and sister; John and Will
lam Redmond and many other Parnell-
lite members of the House of Commons;
the Lord Mayor of Dublin, the Mayor of
Cork and portion of the corporation in
their robes of office took part in the
parade, Over fifty bands were in line.
The streets were so packed with spec
tators that it was difficult for the process
sion to move. At Glasnevin cemetery
the parade deposited hundreds of beau
tiful wreaths on Parnell's grave. A feat
ure of the day was the thousands of
women who wore ivy leaves on their
breasts or in their hair.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK.
The Acting superintendent Annual
Report Submitted.


WASHINGTON, October 9.-Captain II.
G. Gale of the Fourth Cavalry, Acting
Superintendent of the Yosemite Ma
tional Park, Cal, has submitted his re-
port to the Secretary of the Interior.
He says there are many misunderstand-
ings owing to the private ownership of
land in the park. 1t would be wise, he
believes, for the government to purchase
the timber land in the park, and he
thinks it would also be advisable for a
commission to be appointed to appraise
all land owned by private parties and
learn if it could be secured. Game in
the park is on the increase. The report
recommends a reduction in the size of
the park by Withdrawing the mining
and agricultural lands, and advocates
the addition of natural instead of arti-
fetal boundary lines. The reduction
would be to throw out about twenty
townships and leave the remainder OF
the park almost wholly in possession OF
the government.
