PREPARING FOR WAR.
Argentina MObilizinE Her Army
While the Cabinet Talks Peace.

Buenos Ayres. Argentina, via Calves
ton, Sept. 16-In order TO meet any crisis
in the boundary dispute between Argen-
tina and Chile, the government has order
ed that preparations be made TO mobilize
an army of $1,000 men.
The Argentine minister of foreign af-
fairs, however, has sent a circular to the
diplomatic representatives abroad decfar-
ing that the alarming rumors in relation
to the boundary troubles are without foun-
dation.
Argentina does not refuse to arbitrate
the general question, he declares. but will
not consent TO this course except under
the conditions stipulated by the treaties
now in force. Chile, however, insists on
the elimination of the words "Corderilla
de los Andes" from the first article of
the treaty of 1851.
If this concession should be made the
article would mention only the famous
divortia aquarium. and would make it ac-
cord with the Chilean pretensions. This
government, however, Is resolutely oppos-
ed TO such a modification.
The attitude of the people is remarka BILE
for its composure. There Is no hostile
manifestation of any kind against Chile
The minister of foreign affairs, replying
to an Interpolation in the chamber of
deputies, announced that he hopes for a
pacific settlement of the trouble. He ask
ed the chamber TO maintain its reserve
during the delicate negotiations The
minister of war declared that the coun-
try is prepared for any emergency.

Ffrst-cIass Service. 'Phcne, 1885

United States While it was thought that
those who had not been connected with
the State troops and had simply volun-
tered their services to their country
would be free when mustered out. II was
generally understood that those who had
enlisted in the States service prior to the
war and subsequently volunteered to
serve the United States, would be COM
PEELED to serve out their term of enlist
ment to the State. 1t is said THAI this is
not the case, and that the military laws
of the State are so construed that when
State organizations volunteer their SER
vices to the United States 1t removes
their obligations as State soldiers.

Heirs of Andrew Eeieharii Trying to
Find His wealth

Shamokin, Pa, Sept 16-It is supposed
that Andrew Reichard. who died yester-
day, had several thousand dollars In gold
buried about his farm and its outbuild-
ings, and his widow and relatives are
making determined search for the hid
den wealth Up to yesterday evening
they have found sl6o all in gold, which
the dead man had stored away in cor
ner of the barn.
Mrs. Reiehard says that her husband
lacked confidence in banks and informed
her shortly before his death that he had
considerable gold hidden about the prem
ises.
A few years ago he had 81, coo in bank
notes hidden In one of his outbuiidings,
but when he went TO get 1t one day he
found that most of the bills had been
chewed by rats until they were worth
less. Since then Mr.. Reichard has stored
away nothing but the precious metal.

THE STRIKE Is OFF.
The Bricl<layers VIII Return to
Work This Morning.

The differences between the bricklayers
who We're at work on the new city post
Office and their employers have been sat
isfactorily adjusted, and the men will
return TO work this morning.
The trouble grew out of the failure of
Sub-Conrtactors Hurdle & Mccartney
to pay twenty or more bricklayers their
weeks wages on last Saturday night.
The men. however, have no grievance
against Hurdle & Mccartney for they
are sub-contractors under Camp & Co,
of Akron, O., and it was this firm, 1t is
said which failed to furnish the money.
When it was explained yesterday by
William Weaver VINO had come from Ak
ron, O., to represent Camp & Co.. that
the non-arrival of the money on Saturday
last was accidental and not intentional,
the matter was easily settled.

Expansion of Territory.


Expansion of Territory.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. Ex-senator WILL
lam v. Allen, in an address yesterday at
the Nebraska Grand Army reunion de-
clared himself convert to territorial ex-
pansion.
His speech was surprising. inasmuch as
by his remarks in the Senate and in in
terviews he had been placed on the op-
posite side.
Senator Allen declared that he was in
favor of retaining every foot of territory
taken from Spain.
He also favored demanding indemnity
from Spain for money expended in the
war and for the loss of the lives of sail
ors on the battleship Maine and also for
the loss of that ship.
The country could do without the shin.
he declared, but the placing of dynamite
under more than four hundred human
beings and the destruction of over half
that number was crime that could not
be overlooked or forgiven.
