VIII Abide by Result of PIebiscfte
In the -Ceded Provinces
of Tncna and
africa.

WASHINGTON. Sept 26-The secre-
tary of the Chilean legation said today,
IN response to inquiries by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press that the re-
ports of war between Chile and her neigh
bors were groundless. The war rumors
have gained considerable circulation of
late, it being stated that an outbreak of
hostilities was imminent between Chile on
the one hand and the Argentine Republic,
Peru and Bolivia on the other. The cause
of the possible conflict is alleged to be.
the unwillingness of Chile to conform to
certain treaty relations, it being contend
ed that Chile viii not abide by the award
of the British government In the bound
ary question with the Argentine Repub-
lie and that it refuses to submit the
question of the definitfve sovereignty over
the provinces of Taena and africa, to the
decision of a popular plebiscite, to be held
in those provinces according to a treaty
between Chile and Peru. In response to
these statements it is now set forth by
the Chilean authorities that Chile is not
trying to restrict the limits of the British
award and that She certainly will abide
by it. Chile does not refuse to submit
plebiscite. And in general it is stated that
the diplomatic relations between Chic
and the Argentine, Peruvian and Bolivian
governments are. at present peaceful and
friendly"
CHILE WON'T QUARREL.
AS convincing proof of this. the recent
report of the Chilean nainister of foreign
affairs is referred to- This contains the
statement that ''our boundary question
with the Argentine Republic is now
settled in friendly manner and the re-
lations between both countries have been
cordial and sincere" The boundary arbi-
tration is still in progress and its deter
mination viii dispose of the only question
pending between Chile end Argentine. The
minister for foreign affairs also cites an
agreement with Bolivia calculated to pre-
vent all disagreeable questions and bound
aly incidents, which from time to time
have arisen. In the discussion with Peru
both governments have shown a desire
to reach an early settlement and the
steps taken toward a satisfactory adjust.
ment are set forth.
The secretary of the legation speaking
of the facts set forth said: The official
statement OF the Chilean minister of fore
ign affairs cIeary shows that Chile's
foreign policy is treaty abiding, peaceful
and friendly in regard to foreign coun-
tries, especially so toward its neighbors,
and that negotiations are being carried on
to settle amicably, all pending problems.
The Chilean-Argentine boundary question
now submitted to her Britannia matestie's
arbitration, whose final award certainly
will be acquised in and respected, is con-
sidered settled There is therefore no
ground on which to base the rumors of
an imminent war between Chile and her
neighbors.''

IRELAND is DECORATED
BECOMES A COMMANDER OF THE
LEGION OF HONOR.

PAIRS, Sept 26.-Archbishop Ireland
leaves here for London tomorrow, whence
he will sail Oct II. He was decorated
today as a commander of the Legion of
Honor, by M. Jules Cambon, the French
ambassador to the United States, In be-
half of the government. Gen. Horace
Porter, the United States ambassador to
France, and Bellamy StoreD the United
States minister to Spain, were among

The Figaro publishes this morning an
Interview with Mgr. Ireland, dealing with
the impressions gained during his Eu-
ropean visit.
The archbishop began with an express
sion of the great pleasure he had de-
rived from his promotion to the Legion
Of Honor, which, he said, constituted a
fresh link between France and America.
Speaking of France, he said:
She is now in a truly triumphant era,
and nobody is more happy than 1 at the
success of the exposition. 1 am proud
also of the fact that the United States
has taken so great a part, sending the
most visitors and obtaining the most
awards. All this strengthens and ex-
tends the bonds between the United
States and France, and cements friend
ship which, I believe is more than ever
necessary today to the maintenance of
the peace of the werld. On every hand
l observe your democratic institutions
penetrate more and more the hearts Of
your people. The French are too much
divided, 1t is true, regarding. some ques-
tions, but they are unshakably attached
to the present regime. Thus the pope was
very happily Inspired when, in his ad-
mirahle encycIcal, he reminded French
Catholics Of the new duties resulting
from the definite foundation of The re-
publican regime. Leo has not been an
innovator, as some have stated. He has
applied the doctrine as old as the church
Of the necessary submission of Catholics
to public authorities for the public well
being. Refractory spirits should, there-
fore aceede to the desire of his holiness,
and should all unite to render the repub-
lie more and more unanimous
Mgr. ireland said he was delighted
with the result of his visit to Rome 1t
seemed to him that the peope was in
better health and stronger than he was
two years ago. With reference to the
relations between the quirinal and the
Vatican the archbishop said he was able
to assert that the accession to the throne
Of King Victor Emanuel III. had
strengthened the pope's opinion that the
independence of the Vatican was indis-
pensable to the well being of the church.

WAITING EVENTS.
Washington Government Will Take
No Decisive Action at Prasan+

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-One belated
dispatch from Gen. Chaffee relative to
conditions in Pekin on the &st instant
was made public today 1t is apparent
that our government is again in a wait
ing attitude, after having made the i'm
portant movement toward a reduction of
the American troops in China announced
yesterday. Gen. Chaffee had not received
the departments instructions when he
sent his message made public today, but
without doubt has it now in hand. His
offer to escort Ii Hung Chang was in
conformity with the expressed purpose of
the state department to facilitate in
every proper manner the journey of the
Chinese viceroy to Pekin. Still, it is now
regarded as just as we'll that the offer
was declined and the responsibility for
Lis safety left with the Russians.
It is stated in diplomatic quarters that
definite and official informa ton has been
received that Prince Tuan has been an
pointed president Of the privy council of
China, instead Of grand secretary as was
first reported and that a number of other
Chinese officials prominent in the recent
uprising have been similarly honored.

BERLIN, Sept 26-Late this afternoon
the correspondent of the Associated Press
in Berlin showed the German foreign
Office private dispatch from London, as
serting that Lord Salisbury had informed
Count Hatfield -Wildenberg. the German
ambassador to Great Britain that the
reply of Great Britain to the German
note would agree with that of
the United States. The foreign
Office thereupon reiterated the
assertion that this statement was prob
ably false. Upon attention being called to
the fact that the information was not
claimed to be received from Count Won
Hatfield, the foreign Office official there
on re-read the dispatch and said:
Lord Salisbury has asked for few
days more to consider private information
before giving a reply. No answer has
been given yet, at least no formal an
swer, beyond an oral discussion between
Lord Salisbury and Count Won Hatzfeld
but it is not true that Great Britain has
finally replied to the German note
This reiterated denial of formal reply
has deepened the interest in the dis
patches of the Associated Press and the
feeling is that they are correct, yet the
government clings to the hope Of winning
England over. The evening papers, taking
their cue from the foreign Office. fatty
deny that Great Britain is arrayed with
the United States against the German pro-
posal.
The Berlin Post says: This announce
ment is only intended to conceal the fact
of the isolation of the United States.
For the most part the influential juor-
nails follow the lead of the Cologne Gaz-
cites inspired article. blaming the United
States for China's renewed exhibition OF

ing for peace in Pekin with Ii Hung

main stems and roots from burn and

The best soil is one which IS fertile
but not excessively rich, which Is
loose and easily worked, and which
is underlaid by an open and porous
subsOil.
Grape vines are prOpagated by
seeds, layers, and cuttings, and by
grating. Propagation from seeds is
employed only for the purpose of
originating new varieties. As work
of this kind belongs to nurserymen
and experimenters rather than prac-
teal grape growers, a full treatment
of the method is not given. Propa-
CATION by layering, cuttings, and
grating is fully described.
The writer advocates close prun-
ing, and says there is far less danger
in pruning too closely than in per
hitting the vine to grow at will and
TO produce an excessive crop at the
expense of its future thrift. He de
clares that the training and pruning
of grape vines is the most important
item in their management, and it IS
in this part of the culture that the
greatest number of mistakes occur,
although the principles involved are
really very simple and easily learned
by anyone who will give them a lit
tie thought and attention.
Several styles of trellis are de
scribed, and descriptions Ire also
given of the three insects most in
furious to grapes, and the remedies
to be used against them. The bulle-

FROM MUTTON TO WOOL.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Back in 1898 three-quarters of the
fiOcks of this country of pure
bred and high-grade MerinO blood,
and the predOminance of this breed
in the fOcks of the country had
brought the fleece to a high stage of
perfection. Shepherds were breed
ing for wool then, and after years of
careful work they had succeeded in
placing the fOcks on d good stand,
and no country produced ii more
abundant supply Of wool tAan the
United States. Speakers ami writer's
on wool subjects had steadily advo-
Gated the improvement of the Mcri-
nos. and breeders had taken their
advice. 1t seemed the fate of i'll luck
then that prices should have sudden
~ slumped and a period Of inactivity
and dullness follow that carried
prices way down to the point of
starvation. Free wool followed, and
Jllt lillJOl ldLlDl1S VI iJNr'I = 4RLC~
from other countries helped to de
press the American wool market.
With all the fine fleece on the backs
of their pure-bred sheep the owners
could not make d living 1t was not
necessary to say breed better for
wool, for the standard was higher,
higher than that reached by the i'm
ported stuff.
Then came the mutton period, and
sheep owners were advised to raise
mutton. Wool had reached ID point
where there was an OverproductiOn,
but there was d good demand for
mutton and lamb. But the MerinOS
We're not as good mutton sheep as
they were for producing excellent
fleece, and so the breeding had to
take a different turn. In order to
secure the best mutton it was neces-
Sarv to breed for it, and so this be
came the primary object Of the
breeders. The large Downs, of Eng
land, were imported and bred as
sires to the MerinOs to produce NUT
ton sheep, but more generally the
MerinOs were bred with the long
staple Delaines and the heavy Ram
bOuillets. The wool of the English
breeds eel rather coarse, but the
mutton was large, heavy and fine.
This method of breeding has been
going on for years, and even in Aus
tralia and Argentine the mutton has
been one of the leading objects in
view. The result of all this is that
the fine MerinO wOOl-prOducing sheep
have become exceedingly arc
That is one reason why such fleece
is scarce and high-priced. There is
need today of fine MerinO hOcks such
as we had seven years ago. A MerinO
revival Is warranted by present con-
ditiOns of the market, and the man
who can first secure an abundance of
these pure-bed MerinOs will make
the most money. The fine Delaine
woods are in special demand, and the
fleece such as we obtain from the
large French MerinOs. Breeding
such animals is sure to prove of
profitable value to the owner, and it
Is not too much to predict that they
will pay today better than almost
any other farm animal.
