Lines Between the Two COun-
tries-ChiIe Aiming in Spite OF
Peaceful PrOtestations.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A special to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The Tribuna, General Roca's organ,
says that as Chill still maintains the
theory advanced by her commissioner
in the boundary treaty of 1881, Argen-
tina should declare herself and take
measures to bring about a speedy solu-
ton of the long standing dispute over
the limits of the two republics.
Barras Arana, the boundary commits
sioner for Chill, declares that the
limits of the two countries could only
be defined by conceding that all terri
torial sources of the waters in the re-
gion concerned should be bounded by
d curved line over Andfne Ridges.
Argentine declares that the highest
peaks of the Andes are the guiding
points in a survey by which a straight
line is to be drawn. dividing the re-
publics.
The Tribuna goes on to say that
Chilli is still arming in spite of peace
full protestations; that she has never
shown any really strong desire to ar
range the boundary dispute; that her
people are swayed and in fact ruled
by the dicta of DR.. AranO, and that,
judging from recent occurrences, the
peaceful speeches and protestations
which were so plentiful at the time of
the visit of the archbishop of Canas-
anoVa were merely superficial.

Is yet known as 10 WneTS OF WHen the
convention will be held. Chicago, ST.
Louis, Milwaukee, Kansas City,
Omaha, Indianapolis, Dallas and At
lanta want the convention and each
one of them has friends in the COM
mittee. But at whichever place is Sc
lected there also will be bime-allic
union meeting, and the union of these
two elements will make one of the
largest conventions ever held in this
country.
Concerning the alleged movements to
bring about a fusion of all the reform
forces. Mr.. Taubeneck says: 81 have
received a number of letters from in
fuential members of the party in va

Mr.. Taubeneck declared that he had
no idea yet whom his party would

committeeman interviewed was that
their national convention would not be
held until both of the old parties put

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE general
discussion of the pension bill in the
house closed today and tomorrow it will
be taken up, by paragraphs. Mr.. Grow
attempted to speak on a matter of privi-
leges. The subject which he wished to
discuss was passage contained in a
pamphlet by the New York chamber of
commerce. which, he said, was an at
tack upon the good faith of the house.

question of privilege, and Mr.. Grow did
not proceed.

fought for it. but said he opposed the
internal revenue laws, and added that
the northern states received in pensions
nearly as much as they paid internal rev.
enue taxes.
Mr.. Bartlett made vigorous reply
to the attacks which have been made
upon his first speech during the two

upon him during the debate and quoted
figures to show that he was correct in
his statement with the exception of Russ
