BLOW AT ARBITRATION.
Extra Ordinary Decision by the Argen-
tine Minister ut Madrid.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-The cause of
arbitration in the settlement of claims be-
tween nations has received a severe check
in the award by the arbitrator in the case
of Oberiander and Messenger. who claimed
$4,000 and $4,000, respectively, for ill-treat-
ment by the Mexican authorities. The arbi-
traitor was the Argentine minister at
Madrid, Senior Quesada, and his decision
was in favor of the Mexican government
and against the American claimants. The
discouraging feature of the decision is that
in making the decision the arbitrator APP
parently overlooked every point of law, ac-
cording to the English standards, and de-
cided the case with reference to his SYM
pathies. 1t is said that a more eXtraordi-
nary opinion than this from a legal point
OF view, was never seen at the State De-
partment. Oberlander was a deputy sheriff
in California and he was kidnapped and
taken across the border by Mexican OFF,
GERS. Mrs. Messenger, in whose house he
had taken refuge, was i'll treated. When it
came to rendering his decision, the arbi-
traitor, 1t is said, ignored the facts and rea-
soned that because the United States gov
eminent had not recognized the rights of
the Chinese government to indemnity for
the killing of Chinese at Rock Springs,
WyO., while insisting on indemnity for
losses suffered by American missionaries in
China, we could not expect to have an in
as this. This peculiar lack of legal percep-
ton is said at the department, to be al
most without a parallel in the history of
arbitrations and has undoubtedly done
much to prevent the submission of other
claims to arbitration unless it can first be
known that the arbitrator is familiar with
the principles of common law, according to
the English standards

Indian Territory Under New Law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T. = kilograms re-
ceived at the Interior Department indicate
that the law of Congress extending the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the
Indian Territory over the five civilized
tribes has become operative, apparently,
without particular friction. There was a
disposition on the part of one of the ma
tons to secure delay in the application
of the law and permit the continuance of
time of the existence and jurisdiction of
the tribal courts. 1t was proposed that the
Indian Council appropriate money for the
services of attorneys who should come to
Washington to endeavor to induce Congress
to acquiesce in the postponement of the
laws application, but Secretary Bliss is
sued a warning against such steps, notify
ing the Indians that all tribal legislative
enactments have to be approved by the
President, and he would advise the exec
utive not to sanction such acts The latest
information received by the secretary from
the Territory came TO hand in dispatch to-
day from Agent Wisdom at the Union
agency, who says that thus far the law has
gone into effect without material friction,
and that. in his belief, the better elements
of the Indians are satisfied to pass under
the full Jurisdiction of the United States.

Good Samaritan.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-James j. Corbett says
Robert Fitzsimmons is afraid of him, and
he did so as soon as Fitzsimmons cancelled
| dates in Chicago for this week, when Cor
bett announced his intention of coming
here Fitzsimmons received the following
from Corbett last Saturday night. 1t bore
Cincinnati date:
What are you cancelling dates for and
skipping out of Chicago? Are you afraid
| to meet me? CORBETT."
1t was the last day of Fits show in
the city, show in the South Side Thea
| ter and at an early hour Sunday morning
| the champion and his company left for the
| Northwest where they are showing this
week But in order to go 'Fitz' had to cam
| eel an engagement with North Side thea
ter in this city, where he was billed to APP
pear this week. This explains the reference
| in Corbett's telegram concerning 'cdncelling
dates. The telegram made "F'itz' raging
mad, and ne replied as follows:
81 did not run away from you at Carson
| City, when | made you quit like cur did
i? 1t is a cinch that / would never dream
| of running away from you when know you
are so easy. You know that l am your
master and can best you at any time ana
under any circumstances, either on the
street or in the ring. The very best thing
| that you can do is to fight Maher and try
! to convince the world that you are not a
| talking fighter such as they have sized you
up to be, and stop trying to make capital
| by using the name of the man who made
| you crawl at his feet and who positively
OutclaSsed you morally, mentally and phys
ically. ROBERT FITZSIMMONS."
Saturday midnight Corbett sent another
message which read to this effect
Stay there and don't run away; I'll be in
| Chicago Jan. II, and make you eat your
words, like l did several times before.
Please don't run away and don't forget what

According to friend of Corbett, the lat
ter had made his plans to drop in at the
theater where "FitZ" was to show in Chi
cago this week and challenge the champion
from the stage at the conclusion of "Fitzs"
exhibition. Corbett meant to keep this
| secret and spring it on his foe unexpectedly
and it was the disappointment at hearing
that "Fitz' had cancelled his date for this
week here that induced the Californian to
send the telegram quoted above. Fitzsim-
mons is not drinking man, but in his two
