that war 5lsilmrninent between Chile and
the Argentine republic are mol, wen.i;
founded, and that on the contrary, .arbl-;
2tratlon by the British government hasl
been agreed upon as a means OF settles
ment OF differences. The boundary de-
limitation has been source OF serious
differences for some years. and this has
caused much popular agitation and talk
of war. Some time ago. however. the;
countries agreed to submit the entire,
boundary question to the decision of
Great Britain. The assent of the British;
government was secured and the arbi-i
trntionl Ii now in course of execution.
Notwithstanding this agreement. It Is

of Howell Titus.

In the case of Howell Titus against
Robert C. Stevens, Justice Cole today
denied the application Of the former for
the appointment of a receiver of the bus
iness of "R C.;Stevens g. Co." of which
firm the complainant was a partner.

to pay the former so per week for con-
ducting the business. and also to allow

Advent of Peace.
New York. Aug. 13.-The signing of the
protocol yesterday afternoon had its ef-
feet on the stock market at the opening
this morning. First prices were gener-
ally higher by firm fractions to one point.
few minutes after the opening further
gains were recorded. Trading opened
brisk and a fairly large variety of stocks
were quoted.
After the opening of the stock market
this morning there was a decided falling
of in the volume of business and there
appears to be a disposition TO take prof.
its on the signing of the protocol.
Later the market rallied on reported
authentic denials of yellow fever in the
Southern States and the covering of
shorts put out yesterday by the profess
ional element. The commission house
business has decreased considerably and
the market is almost entirely in the
hands of traders.
Government bonds are unchanged.
Stocks at the close were strong and
higher Sugar was advanced nearly
three points over Its opening price. and
Tobacco made a similar advance. The
others in the general list made frac-
tional gains. Trading was moderately
active.

sEv vERAL POLICE CHANGES.
Effort to Improve the Sers Ice in the
Second Precinct

Second Precinct
A number of changes and transfers cal
culated to improve the service of the
police department were announced today
by Major Sylvester. chief of police.
The changes have been made with par
ticular reference to the Improvement of
the work in the Second precinc., which
was placed under Lieut. H finer about
a year ago. after an Investigate n result
ing from the escape of Pat Carr.
1t has been matter of public comment
that the service in this precinct has been
below the standard. Dorsey Foutz. of
local notoriety, committed murder in
that locality and escaped. This and other
crimes have attracted much attention.
Major Sylvester said today that Lieut..
Heffner had been handicapped by lack
of men. No precinct has been short
both of men and sergeants.
"I want. to give No. 2 precinct plenty
of material and while several privates
have already been transferred there
from No. precinct. other efforts will be
made to better the service. The changes
do not reflect in the least on the men or
officers All are perfectly capable of good
work. but the good of the apartment re-
quires that men shall be placed where
they can do the most good"
By the changes No. 2 precinct gets a
new sergeant. Fighting Sergeant Daily.
whose work in South Washington did SO
much to rid that section of the city OF
crooks. will be given an opportunity in
No. precinct. HIS qualities as an ag-
gressive worker commended his transfer.
Dunnigan of the second precinct will go
to No. 4.
The reduction of Sergeant Perry, Of
the District Building. enabled the chief
to make Private Dan Sullivan, of No.
4 sergeant and he will accompany Ser
geant DAILY. Policeman Seibert, a recent
appointee. will also go to No. 2, and
Private Madigan, who has been on spe-
cial duty at the Police Court, has been
ordered to street duty. Other changes
are as follows: Policeman Cowne, from
precinct No. to No. 4; Marshal from
precinct No. to No. 5; Bruce. precinct
No. to No. 8: Mcnamara, precinct No.
to No. L
