THE PRESIDENTS DECISION.
1t Was Announced Today I'm the Bra
| zilinn-Arsentine Controversy.


The diplomatic room of the State De-
partment was the scene of an interesting
ceremony this afternoon, when Assistant
Secretary Uhl announced the Presidents
decision in the controversy between the
governments of Brazil and the Argentine
Republic in regard to the question of juris-
diction over the Missiones territory. This
question has been pending before the Pres
dent for nearly year, end the time with
in which he was allowed to make his de-
cision will expire on the 10th instant. The
two countries have been in contention over
this boundary line dispute for a great many
years. They finally concluded a treaty for
it's arbitration by the President Of the
United States.
Mr. Uhl as the personal representative OF
the President, announced his decision to
Senior Zebalios, the Argentine minister. and
Senior Rio Branca, the special Brazilian
commissioner. and furnished each of them
with a certified copy thereof Public an
nouncemcnt of the decision will probably be
made late this afternoon. Although not
officially admitted, there are reasons for
the belief that the Presidents decision
substantially sustains the position of the
Brazilian government in regard to the con-
troyerSy,

THE HOUSE PERSONNEL.
4 Larger Number of Changes Than in
Any Congress Since the War.

A glance at the records on file in the
clerks office of the House of Representa-
tives shows that there have been no less
than twenty-nne changes in the personnel
of that body since the time the members
were elected. Eleven of these changes
have been due to deaths, fifteen to resigna-
tions and three to members being unseated
by the House. The number is larger than
in any Congress within the recollection of
the older House officials and is believed to
be unequaled since the war.
Since the election of the members of the
Fifty-third Congress death has claimed
Mutchler of Pennsylvania, Enochs of Ohio,
Chapman OF Michigan, ONeill of Pennsyl-
vania, Lilly of Pennsylvania, Houk of OHIO,
Brattan of Maryland, Lisle of Kentucky,
Shaw of Wisconsin, Wright of Pennsylva-
mia and Post of Illinois.
The following members have resigned
their seats to accept the places indicated:
Mitchell of Wisconsin, a seat in the Sen
ate; Lodge of Massachusetts, seat in the
Senate; Fitch of New York, controller Of
the city of New YORK; OFerrail of Nir-
ginia, the iyovernorship of that common
wealth; Fellows of New York, district at
torney. of New York city; Brawley of Soutn
Carolina, judge of the district court or
Soutn Carolina; Blanchard Of Louisiana, a
seat in the Senate; Caldwell of Ohio, the
mayoralty of Cincinnati; Compton OF Mary
land, naval officer at baltimore; Z. X
Russia; Oates of Alabama, to be governor
of that state; Cummings of New York,
subway commissioner of the metropolis;
Paynter of Kentucky, judge of the court
of appeals of Kentucky; Black of Illinois,
district attorney for the northern district
of Illinois, and Burrows of Michigan, a
seat in the Senate.
The list of changes will soon be swelled
by another. Representative Wilson of
Washington was few days ago elected to
the Senate to succeed Mr.. Allen. The cleo
ton takes effect Immediately, and Mr. Will
sens resignation as member of the House
of Representatives will probably be receiv-
ed very soon. Mr.. Gear of Iowa, now a
member of the House. has also been select
ed to represent his state in the upper
branch of the national legislature His
term Of office begins on the 4th of March
next.
The members OF the House who have
been unseated include Joy of Missouri,
Funston of Kansas and Hilborn OF Cali
fOrnia.

A DOUBTFUL REPORT.
so Belief Given the Story of the Cap
ture of American officers In China.

Neither at the state Department nor at
the Navy Department has there come any
word from China in confirmation of the re-
ported capture by a Chinese mob of the
officers of the u. 5. S. Concord, who acci-
d.ntalIy killed a native while on a shoot
ing expedition. This lack of an official re-
port has strengthened the belief OF Officials
that the story was either without founda-
tion or else much exaggerated the facts.
So far as is known there is no Interrupt
tion in the cable and telegraph service to
Chin Kiang. where the event is placed. 1t
fs not thought thar Commander Craig
would incur the risk of reprimand from
the Secretary of the Navy by failing 20
report nor would the United States consul
at Chin Kiang, Mr.. Alex. Jones, allow the
State Department to remain In ignorance
of an affair of such gravity. So. for these
reasons and the further one that Shanghai,
whence the story emaEated. has the ~repu-
tation OF beirg hotbed of sensational
yarns the naval officers discredtt the whole
tale

Cen. SchoficId Nominntcd.

Acting in accordance with this iesolu-
ton, the President today nominated Major
General John NJ. Schofield to be lieutenant
general of the army. Nominations to fill
vacancies occasioned by this promotion
will be deferred until the Senate shall nave
acted upon this nomination.
The last lieutenant general of the army
was Gen. Philip Sheridan, who was pro-
NOTED to that grade on March 4, 1sl9
When Gen. Sherman was retired from the
active list, in February, 1851 Lieutenant
General Sheridan became full commander
of the army. Finally, in May, 1883. Con-
gress passed a bill to discontinue the grade
of lieutenant general and to merge 1t into
the grade of general of the army of The
United States" with the provision to allow
the promotion of Lieutenant General Sheri-
should continue only during the lifetime of
Gen. Sheridan, after which such grade
shall also cease"
Within two hours from the time that
this bill reached President Cleveland, Gen.
Sheridan was nominated for the highest
grade, was confirmed by the Senate and
commission issued to him.
When the Grade Originated.
The grade of lieutenant general was
originated by an act Of Congress of May
2S. 1898, and on July 3, following, Gen.
Washington was appointed to that office,
which he held until March 8. 1882 when
an act creating the grade of general of
the armies OF the united states ana
abolshng the grade of lieutenant general
was approved The grade of lieutenant
general by brevet' was, however, estab-
lished by a resolution of February Is, 1880,
Ito acknowledge the eminent services of
major general of the army in the late war
with Mexico" with the provision that, hav-
ing been once filled and become vacant, the
resolution establishing it should expire and
be of no effect. Two days later Maj Gen.
Winfield Scott appointed 'brevet lieu
tenant general" to rank from March %,
1S47. The grade of lieutenant general was
rot revived again until February %, 1864,
and two days later Gen. Grant was ap-
pointed to the position, and he continued
to serve in that position until July % 1866,
when act was passed reviving the grade
of general for his benefit.
He served in that grade until he was
inaugurated President on March 1,
1869, when he nominated Generals Sherman
and Sheridan for appointment as general
and lieutenant general respectively. On
July 10. 1870, an act was passed to the
effect that the offices of general and lieu
tenant general should continue only until
vacancy should occur in the same wf en-
the act providing for those grades should
be considered having been repealed
General Schofield himself was unable to-
day to receive the congratulations Of his
friends, being confined to his home by a
cold.

THE CUBAN TARIFF.
The New Law to Go Into Effect at
Once.


United States Minister Taylor at Madrid
has cabled the State Department that the
act passed by the Spanish cortes placing
American products imported into Cuba and
Porto Rico in the, second column of the
tariff schedules, having received royal ap-
rroval will be officially published there to-
day. 1t will then be cahled at once to
Havana ard Porto Rico for publication in
the official gazettes, and it is assumed at
the State Department that the new law
will go into effect tomorrow. American
products will thus be placed on terms of
equality, as far as tariff rates are con,
cerned, with those of the most favored
nation. and it is hoped that our wheat
growers and nfllers will soon regain the
markets of Cuba and Porto Rico from
which they have been driven by the Canadi-
ans, who were enabled to undersel! them
by reason of the lower tariff dues imposed
on their goods.

ably.
The committee decided to amend the
Commissioners recommendation as to the
rate to be paid for transfers, so as to pro-
vide that an additional fare Of two cents
shall be paid for transfers to suburban
roads and additional fare of one cent
fer transfers to city roads.
Railroad People Not Satisfied.
When the committee adjourned it was
found that the railroads are not satisfied
with that portion of the bill recommended
by the Commissioners which gives the
Commissioners full power to designate
points on the railway lines where trans
fers are to be made. The railroads prefer
that this power should remain with Con-
gress. 1t was thereupon decided to recon-
slider the question, and 1t is probable that
the committee will amend the Commits
sioners' bill in the direction desired by the
railroads.
