weeks consideration of the status of
Senior Rodriguez, the first minister Of
the greater republic Of Central Amer
lea, President Cleveland has received

phasized the purpose of our govern!

with the others in the new republic,
would soon give in their adherence.
The minister was accompanied to the

Senior Corea, and his son, j. d.

too, whether the stones are pale green,
pale lilac or pale pink. In each instance
the shoes are lined with green, lilac or
pale pink satin, matching exactly the
color of the jeweled embroideries
Care must be exercised in the selec-
tion Of stockings, for in perfect suita-
bility lies the great secret Of success
The costly silk hosiery Of oobweb fine
ness, with its delicate lace openwork
OF it's exquisite floral embroideries, must
never make acquaintance even with the
smartest Of walking shoes, but must be
kept exclusively for the evening. Stock
ings in very fine cashmere or in plain
spun silk are best for ordinary ocoa-
sions, the coloxs chosen carefully to
harmonic not only with gowns and
their silk Innings, but with shoes and
underskirts There must be no discord-
ant note anywhere, or the whole har.
mony Of effect will be spoiled. For
wearing with tailor made tweed gowns
there is appropriate hosiery in black
ruled with narrow lines Of color. Very
dainty for evening wear are black silk
stockings daintily embroidered on the
instep in oolors. Plain white stockings
should he worn with white shoes. Silk
stockings, with openwork and lace in.

Alaskan Boundary the First
Question for the New
Commission. II

WASHINGTON. Dec. a. There Ii no
longer any doubt that the general ar
bitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain is practically
completed to the satisfaction Of both
governments and that its presentation
to congress may be expected in the
near future. Several minor amend
ments have been suggested and accept
ed from time to time during the prog.
ress Of the negotiations, but it is now
confidently believed that the clear copy
which was forwarded to Lord Sails
bury by Sir Julian Panncefote about q
week ago will at once receive the for.
NAL approval Of the British premier
and be returned to Washington in time
to be presented to the senate for ratifi..
cation Immediately on the reassembling
OF congress after the holiday recess,
Jan. 5. &
The life of the treaty purposely is
made very short-only five years-but
this is with the expectation of re-.
newal for longer period if it shall
prove to work well and also to afford
easy opportunity for amendment. Its
purpose is to dispose s.
reaceab'y and Honorably .y.
of such questions as arise between the
United States and Great Britain and
will not admit of adjustment by the
ordinary means of diplomacy, exclud.
ing questions involving the national
honor. The personnel Of the arbitra.
ton commission is to be Of the highest
character; men selected from the
judiciary of each country in equal
numbers, three from each side, and
provision is made against failure
through tie vote by the bringing in
Of an umpire. Neither the Venezuelan
question nor the Berinr sea issue are to
go before this commission, but its first
work probably would be to close up the
Alaskan boundary controversy and
some other open issues of minor inter-
est but real Importance. Unlike the
Venezuelan boundary arrangement,
this treaty must go to our senate for
ratification, and the house of repre-
sentatives also will have an oppor-
tunity Indirectly to pass judgment
upon it, for legislation will be neces-
sary to provide the means to maintain
the commission. @z \

Davis is the only man in Washington
who has never mentioned the POSSIBLE

of secretary Of state. EARLY in the ses-

Senator Davis would have nothing to
say and exhibited no interest in the
matter, it was temporarily dropped.
During the past few days, howevee,
there has been considerable gossip in

of Davis with the premiership, and it
has been intimated that there is a
strong probability that his nomination
for that important executive Office has
been agreed upon.
