Washington, April THE Baron
Rio Branco and Gen. Corqulra, special
Brazilian plenipotentiaries who pre-
sented the case of that country IN the
arbitration of the missions boundary
contention with the Argentine Repuo-
lica, presented their letters of recall to
President cleveland and said farewell.
Speeches were exchanged rather out
of the usual order, in view of the spc-
cial character of the mission, and the
remarks of the president We're signiii-
cant where they touched upon arbi-
tration, having i'll mind the efforts now
being made to induce Great Britain
to submit her boundary dispute with
Venezuela to this method of settle
ment.
The president spoke in part as fol
lows: MIR. Minister, the United
States have long and earnestly advo-
Gated resort to international arhitra-
ton in the settlement of differences
which may not be amenable to the or
binary controversies depending large
ly upon historical facts and indeter-
minable upon competent evidence.
Lending their example as they have
done on many occasions by themselves
resorting to this honorable and hui
name quorum, the United States,
through the chief magistrate, could do
40 less than give assistance to other
friendly states in furthering IA like
disposition of controversies arising be-
tween them; and hence it wis not
alone a gratifying pleasure to me to
assume the grave personal responsl-
bility rendered to me by Brazil and
Argentine Republic but it was also in
a high sense the fultillment of an in
ternational duty toward two friendly
states, which it behooved the presi-
dent of the United States to perform
in the interest of good relationship and
in western friendship"

Born Frederick R. Coudert and James c. Carter, of New York, are objected to as Associate Justices by the Metropolitan papers.
