APPLIES For LEASE
Great Falls lee Compnuy Want.
Rights of WhurGny

Mr.. L. A. Lambert, president of the Great
Falls Ice Company, has applied to the Dis
trlct Commissioners for a lease for ten
years of so much of the land and water
and rights of wharving connected there
with as is covered by and embraced within
the limits of the structures erected and
heretofore maintained by the company at
the foot of 10th street. in front of square
55t. at such reasonable rental as the Com
mssloners may see tit to establish Mr.
Lambert states that the company leased
the property in lSGS from. the late VIM. A.
Bradley, and upon the settlement of Mr.
Bradley s estate in 1890 the compauy
bought square 35G, and, as it supposed. the
reservation to the wharf and wharfine
privileges. Both as lessee and as supposed
purchaser the company expended in good
fath s2o.Goo on. the property and its i'm
proVement. These facts the Commissioners
are asked to fully consider when determin-
ing the question of rental.
Mr.. Lambert has been Informed that the
Commissioners will give the company the
consideration due it, and that no lea SO will
be made until they have had more time il,
which to consider the whole question of
river front property. No final action will
be taken until the company in question has
been given hearing in the matter.

DELAYED ARBITRATION.
Annoyance Caused nv PoStDonemcnt
OF Venezuelan boundary NEGOTIATIONS

There is considerable dissatisfaction in
official and diplomatic circles over the CON
tinued postpOnement of the British-Vene-
Zneia arbitration proceedings. as the DELAY
causes personal Inconvenience to Chief ms
tee Fuller and Justice Brewer, who are
arnltrators' ex-President Harrison and ex-
Secretary Tracey, who are counsel. as we'll
as to the British and Venezuelan officials
now gathered at Paris The pOstponement
was caused by Russia's naming Mr. Mer-
tens, who is on the Venezuelan commission,
as one of the Russian delegates at The
Hague conference. Although most of the
American and Venezuelan officials are now
gathered in Paris. they are unable to pro-
cetd with the work, and it is said that
there IL doubt whether Mr. Mertens will be
free by the 18th instant the day to which
the court adjourned its meeting
The suggestion was made TODAY in a high
diplomatic quarter that it would be quite
desirable II Russia withdraw Mr. Mertens
from the representation at The Hague, and
permitted him TO proceed with the arbitra-
ton at Paris, as the interests. as
well as the convenience of those con-
cerned would be much subserved there
by This could be the more readily done
it was pointed out. as Russia would still be
well represented at The Hague by such
Count MOuraVief. The desrability of some
such arrangement has been officially di -
cusSed, and it may be brought to the atten-
ton of the Russian authorities unless they
take the initiative in freeing Mr.. Mertens
from his duties at The Hague. that the
important BritiSh-VeneZuelan arbitra ton
can go on without further harassing delays.

ORDER MODIFIED.
Further Time Given for Removal of
Fire Alarm Connections.

The District Commissioners today modi-
fled their order of November u, 1893, re-
Quring that all connections of the Instan-
taneous Fire Alarm Company of this city
with the District fire alarm boxes be re-
moved by the Both instant. The modifica
ton of the order allows such boxes as
have not at this time been disconnected to
remain until the company shall have had
an opportunity to secure legislation au-
thorZing the placing of such wires may
be necessary to connect such boxes with
its central office. but not later than the
close of the next session of Congress.
1t is provided, however, that the company
agrees to require of its subscribers that
whenever an alarm is sent from any in
Simultaneous fire-aiarm box 50 disconnected
the subscriber for such box snail cause a
messenger to be at once sent to the Dis
trct fire-aarm box with which such sub
scriber's box is connected, to notify the
fire department of the exact location of the
fire. Failure to comply with this require
ment will be regarded by the Commission
erS as a sufficient cause for the removal of
the attachments from the District box.
The Modification of the order was due
to the fact that the Commissioners are not
authorized to permit the stringing of over
head wires, and to the further fact that the
company did what it could to secure at the
last session of Congress authority for the
stringing of its wires. lack of time. it Is
stated. preventing the authority being OBJ
tanned.

what we need Is the kind of patriotism
that costs something, that entails a real

the command of the department. The de-
partment was abolished at the outbreak of
the Spanish war and merged into the de-
partment of the gulf. with headquarters at
Atlanta. Ga. Its re-establ ishment is due to
its Importance both from an international
and domestic standpoint. There are several
large military posts along the Mexican
frontier. and the Indians in the southwest
are inclined to be troublesome at short in
teTVa!S in the absence of troops Col Nc
klbben Is now on duty at Columbus bar

Is one of the most popular officers in the
army. He is native of Pennsylvania and

Der. 1852 early in the progress of the war
OF the rebellion. and through sheer merit
ana bGaNery IN action was appointed a sec
pnd lieutenant in the same year He was
promoted through the various grades to his
present grade in the regular Establishment.
AT the outbreak of the Spanish war he aD-
pied Tor active field service and was ap-
pointed brlgad!er general of volunteers

OF the department of Texas but declined it
IN the nope of being assigned to more active
