SENATOR TELLER states succinctly
and we'll the reasons why the Arbitra-
ton Treaty should go oyer for more de-
liberate consideration. ~ In the first
place, there is still considerable doubt
in the minds of those who are favorable
to the Treaty as to Che 1exact effect Of
the various clauses and amendments.
There is a difference of opinion as to
whether controverted questions shall be
submitted to the triBnna1l by the Presi-
dent alone or whether it requires the
action of Congress df4the latter is the
case Congress will either have to act upon
each case as it comesup or pass a gen.
eral law defining what shall be submit
ted by the President alone, and what
Congress reserves for itself. The ques-
ton of the limitations Of the President e
diplomatic prerogatives is thus involved.
The Treaty is not selfacting, and re-
quires additional legislation to make it
operative. Therefore it is better that
the consideration of the whole matter be
postponed to a time when the Senate
shall have more time to devote to it than
in the hurried hours Of dying Congress

COMPULSORY MARRIAGE.

The Argentine Confederation is almost half
as big as the United States, but has popula-
ton of only a, 10000. The Government wants
more people, and wants them to be natives
Consequently, there is recent law which vir-
tually makes marriage compulsory. The first
clause reads as follows:
On and after Jan. ], 1897 every male from
the age of 20 to 80 shall pay tax until he
marres, and shall pay it monthly.
The second clause is even more terrible:
Young celibates of either sex who shall, with
ont legitimate motives, reject the addresses of
him or her who may propose for his or her
hand shall pay the sum of 500 piasters for the
benefit of the young person, man or woman,
who has been so refused.
It would seem possible for an Argentinian
gentleman. who might not be desirable hus-
band, to make fair income by proposing to
girls who would feel compelled to reject him.

The X. of p. Band Concert.

The people of Boulder take a most
peculiar method Of showing their appre-
cla,on of dilIgent and meritorlous efforts,
when a concert OF such excellence as
that given by the Knights of Pythlas
band last evening al Masonic Temple
hall receives no more patronage than it
did.
Boulder's band is one of which the
town can be Justly proud, and if such an
organization is to be encouraged, some
thing a little more substantial than praise
must be forthcoming. The boys have
not only deserved the support OF the
people for the assiduous work they be-
slowed upon the preparation of this con-
cert, but also for their free concerts in
the court house square which have long
been matter of credit to the town.
Perhaps if the management had work
ed little differently AMI canvassed the
town for the sale of tickets, the returns
might have been substantial, but undt r
the circumstances it seems no more tn n
right that little voluntary support
should have been vouchsafed them.
The program was excellent through
out and we'll received. The set pieces
by the band were well worked up and
showed great preparation as well as an
exhibition of skill, The encores were
for the most part popular airs and were
heartily anpreciated. The main piece
of the evening was one entitled Prom
Fireside to Battlefield" reminescence
of the war and which was splendidly
rendered. The additional attractions oi
the evening were Mrs. J. H. Parsons with
vocal sclo, the Columbine qua,tette
composed of Misses Burger, Gilber'
] Wells and Bell, Fred Burger and Fioyo
Davis in vocal solos and w. R. Crosby
with an instrumental baritone solo, bane
accompaniment.

ABUSlNeSS CHANGE.
A Transfer Between III. n. Bradley ana u
N. Mcclure Involving Nearly $4,000.

A Transfer Between ii. n. Bradley and Il.
| nj. Mcclure Involving Nearly $4,000.
Y Mr.. H. N. Bradley came over from
Denver yesterday morning and closed a
| deal with his business partner, u. M.
Mcclure, which may be said to have
been the largest and most important
consummated in Boulder for some time.
During the past 26 years the business
house of the McClure-W White Mercantile
company has occupied lis present posi-
ton on Pearl street, under various hrm
names, yet with practically the same men
in charge. Since the last change when
the house took on its present name, Mr..
Bradley has still retained part interest
in the stock and the exclusive ownership
of the two story building occupied by
the firm. BY the transfer of yesterday,
the balance OF his share of stock in the
company, aud the building with Its Is
foot OF frontage and I2o feet depth was
transferred to Mr.. Mcclure for consid-
Grafton of nearly $4,000.
To accommodate the increasing vol
ume of business enjoyed by this house in
dry goods, carpets, furnishings and
shoes, the building has been undergoing
extensive changes and receiving ad-
ditions which now gives it uniform
depth of I2o feet. The addition in the
rear of the present dry goods depart
ment will be fitted up for the domestics
and cloak departments. The partition
between the room used formerly for the
cloak department ana that used for
carpets has been removed, and the en-
larged room will be handsomely fitted
up for the carpet department and will be
equally as fine as any in the state. An
addition has been made just in the rear
of the room to be used as workshop. in
which the carpet sewing and similar
work will be done. A raised platform
has been constructed IN the rear of the
building running even with the alley and
the full width of the building, on which
incoming and outgoing shipments can
be handled with greater ease than
formerly.
The new arrangements have been pro-
vlded at considerable expense, but when
completed will give Boulder a mercan-
tile house of which the town can be justly
proud
