COSTA RICA'S BOUNDS
President Of France to Arbitrate
Her Differences With
Colombia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1S9e-Another
Iong standing boundary dispute is to be
settled by arbitration is accordance with
treaty executed several days ago at
Bogota, by which Costa Rica and Col
ombia have agreed to leave their terri
tcrial division line to the adjudication
of the President of France, or in the
event that he cannot undertake the re-
sponsbility, President Diaz of Mexico
will be asked, and as measure Of extreme
ceived the never failing last resource OF
reference to the President of switzer-
land is provided for in the convention.
Secretary Olney has Just been officially
informed of this arrangement by Senior
Calyo, the Costa Rican Minister, to whom
he expressed qualification in the most
cordial terms.
The announcement coming so quickly
after the substantial settlement Of the
Guianan controversy is particularly pleas
ing to the United States, as in both cases
the United States has been instrumental
in securing arbitration, our mediation in
the Costa Rican-Colombian case having
been confined, however, to an earnest ex-
preston of concern and proffer of good
oHfCeS ana not TO an undertaking of
forcing one of the disputants to terms.
On Secretary Bayards advice the con-
troyersy which involves q. large and yaiu-
able tract of the American isthmus, was
referred to Spain for d61imitation, that
monarchy being at the time engaged in
drawing boundary line between Vene-
zuela and Columbia. The Spanish Cow
ernment, while. acceding to the request,
deferred taking up the Costa Rican case
until It could complete the Venezuelan-
Columbian boundary case, which involved
considerable labor During the delay, Co
loMbia made grants in the disputed terri
tory to New Jersey company for a road
from Bocas del Toro to the interior with
grants of land, besides awarding to
the Panama Canal Company over a
million acres located wholly within the
limits strenuously claimed by the Central
American Republic. In the resulting fric-
ton Columbia claims that the time within
which Spain should have acted on the
boundary question had expired ard in

Ex-senator William Brinkerhoff, of this

Nine. Camille D'Ahville, had lively time
yesterday afternoon with the cayenne
peppery Oscar Hammerstein, proprietor
Of the notorious Broadway Theatre, and
for once in the managers lifetime he
was very badly downed.
Mr.. Brinkerhoff, as counsel for Nine
D.Arville, had occasion to interview Ham
merstein in reference to his refusal to
pay his clients salary under a contract
and Oscar was furious when Mr. Brinker-
hoff told him that unless the salary was
Forthcoming his client would not sing
last night. The doughty Oscar threw his
brand new silk hat on the floor, tore his
scraggy goatee, pranced up and down the
room, breathing anathemas on his oppo-
nents These had no effect on Counsellor
Brinkerhoff who sat smiling at the inn
potent rage of the redoubtaIble oscar.

70 WAVE OLD GLORY.
Chairman Hanna Names October
81 Flag Day for Loyal
Republicans.
DUTY OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.
Recognition of the Fact that the
Party is Fighting for Ma
tonal Honor.
DUTY OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.

One does not have to go very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this campaign.
1t can be found in the Chicago platform.
The spontaneity of its selection as the
appropriate badge of sound-money cham
pions is wonderfully significant. There
seems to have been little inclination on
the part of Mr.. Bryan's followers TO
question the right of the advocates of
sound money and protection Ia display
the national colors rs the proper insignia
of their cause. The only lamentation
heard was the Altgeldian wall which
is always expected when the stars and
stripes are flung to the breeze.
The rivalry as to who could make the
most lavish display of the national cm-
blcm has been confined to the ranks of
the supporters of Mckinley. There has
been no perceptible effort on the part of
the Popocrats to wrest it from those
who are fighting to maintain the ma
tional credit. There seems to be gem
cral assent to the proposition that the
flag does not so with the Chicago plat
form
This tacit recognition of the fact that
the flag is the one suitable emblem of the
issues for which our party is contending
is something new in our American poll
tics. Heretofore there has been pa
triotic rivalry between the Republicans
and the Democrats in our national cam
paigns as to which side could make most
profuse display of the stars and stripes.
1t is a circumstance that will mean much
TO loyal friends of good government and
will be potential factor at the polls in
November.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han.
ma of the national committee suggests
that October 81. the Saturday before
election. be observed as flag day" in
every city and town, on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money and national prosperity shall dis.
play the national coiors from his home
and his place of business. The s3gges.
tion is most commendable one and
should meet with an enthusiastic re-
Spouse all over the nation.
Let every man who intends to vote for
the preservation of our national honor
signify his patriotic intention by dis
playing q flag on Saturday, October 81.
1t will he significant object lesson in
patriotism to hundreds of thousands who
may be wavering between sound money
and reputation.

THE FARMERS TOOLS.
Efficiency OF Agricultural Imple-
ments Greatly Increased
Since 1873.

The silver advocates have had so many
of their pet theories absolutely dcmol-
ished by collision with hard facts that
they are now resorting to deliberate mis-
representation in hope of breaking the
force of the various exposures they are
meeting. They have attempted TO make
much capital out of the decline in the
price Of wheat during the last few years,
and when attention has been called to
the chcapcning in the cost of production
by the use of new and improved machin.
cry and the rapid enlargement of the
commercial surplus of wheat in other
wheat-growing countries than the United
States they have undertaken to deny
both propositions.
In speech at the Central Music hall
on September 10, Gov. Altgeld in at
tempting to answer the arguments pro-
sented by Carl Schurz in an address in
the same hall earlier in the campaign,
speaking of the decline in wheat, said:
1.-The truth is that there has been scarce
ly any improvement in machinery for
raising and harvesting wheat in The last
twenty years" n
Such statement is severe reflection
either upon the inventiv, genius of
American manufacturers and the pro-
Cressve spirit of American farmers or
upon the sincerity of Gov. Altgeld linn
self
The truth is that the greatest improve
ments in farm implements and machinery
that have marked the latter half of the
Nineteenth century have been made
since 1873. Not only has the retail price
of all classes of implements used on the
farm been very much reduced during
that time. but the efficiency of the ma
chinery itself has been even more eaor-
mously increased. Taking the harvester
alone it has been so improved during the
last twenty years that one man can now
anann,pIich what rnpuirnI ba lal.Nr Of
five in 1873, so that instead of there
being scarcely any Improvement in ma
chinery" for harvesting wheat. the inn
provcments in the harvester alone are
shown fully. In other words. it today
only requires one-fifth of the labor cost
to harvest grain that it did twenty years
AGO.
To entirely overthrow this last pervcr-
sion of truth. with which silver men are
trying to bolster up losing cause. re-
tail prices of some of the principal farm
machinery have been secured from lead
ing manufacturers showing the cost to
the farmer in 1873 and the cost in 1896.
AS the wheat crop begins with the plow.
take the following statement from the
Oliver Chilled Plow works of South
Bend, Ind, and see how the cost Of
plows has been reduced.

the year 1873 chilled plows of the nun.

own retail prices show the enormous re-
duction of the price to the farmer. Their
statement in full is as follows:
Farm machinery is not only very
much cheaper but far more efficient Mt
the present time than it was in 1873.
There is hardly any comparison between
the two. The harvesters and binders
which now harvest the great wheat crops
of this country and Europe, were not
known until 1878, but the best of farm
implements and machinery made in 1873,
when compared with those made in 1896
by the leading manufacturers of the
country. would look coarse and cumber-
some and would not be purchased and
used by any farmers at the present time
at any price.
The difference in retail prices Is also
