1t is more than half century since
the Mexican war closed, and this may
seem to be a rather late day to be
delimiting the boundary between The
two countries. The western half of
the frontier is not a natural boundary,
such as the Rio Grande supplies, and
1t was surveyed and marked by monu-
ments between 1S49 and 1856, but the
monuments were few in number and
not Of permanent materials The pres
ent International boundary commits
sion, appointed in 1891, resurveyed this
part of the boundary and marked it
with many monuments consisting Of
hollow iron posts filled with concrete.
Soon the work along the Rio Grande
will be completed and there will be no
further cause for dispute as to the
frontier Of the two countries.

growing more serious for foreigners.
All those at Pekin have taken refuge

Legation street are surrounded by
bowling mobs of undisciplined soldiers

Wants the Powers to Depose the Dowager
and Protect Him.
London, June 12.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Express, tele-
graphing yesterday, says:
"Weng Tung Ho, Emperor KwonS
Hsu's tutor and confident, who was
dismissed by the Dowager Empress
after the coup d'etat in 1898, sends
with the special sanction of the EN-
peror and his party, including three
viceroys, message to the people of
the west. In part it is as follows:
His majesty is convinced, through
amply trustworthy sources, that the
loyal support of many scores of mil
lions of the Chinese will be accorded to
his proposals for putting an end to the
state of anarchy brought about by the
action of the Empress Hsi Isl.
The government of China being vir.
tually nonresident. the Emperor pro-
poses that the foreign powers whose
troops dominate the capital shall re-
move his imperial person from the pal
ace in which his majesty is confined
prisoner, shall declare Empress Hsi
Isl and her present ministers to be
usurpers, and shall bring Emperor
Kwong Hsu to Nanking. whichever the
said foreign powers deem to be the
most suitable situation for the new cap
ital of the Chinese empire, under the
new conditions.
1T is proposed by his majesty and
his advisers that the foreign powers
should declare joint protectorate and
undertake the task of governing the
country through his majesty"

What is known as the Grand Army
bill in pension legislation. provides
that pensions shall not be refused to
widows whose income does not exceed
$40 year. The limit hitherto has
been $50 a year. Naturally a consid-
cradle increase in the roll of pension
ers would take place at once. 1t is to
be noted, too, that pensions to widows
last longest. There was, for example,
last June one survivor of the war of
1872 on the pension rolls, but there are
1000 widows of veterans OF that war
still drawing pensions. The Spanish
war and the war in the Philippines
are likely to furnish a goodly number
of claims for pensions, the number
now being estimated at $4,000. With
this increase and the extension of the
scope of legislation, it does not appear
that we have reached bottom" in the
pension business.

Some of the Business Men Of Havana Arc
Not In n Hurry for 1t.
Havana, June 11.-Of late Governor
General Wood has had many callers,
among them lawyers, bankers. mer-
chants and even two members of the
former cabinet, who have taken the po-
sition that the United States is going
ahead too fast in the direction of grant
ing Independence to Cuba. Those
who take this ground assign it as their
reason for their decision not to Join
in the coming elections. They point
out that there is not single candidate
in the island who is not professional
politician, and they argue that to turn
Cuba over to men of this class would
mean her absolute ruin.
These visits and statements We're the
result Of an interview with General
Wood published by the Discussion, in
which he Is reported as saying that, in
all probability, constitutional con-
vention would be called in September
next, consisting of all mayors elected.
Business circles were thoroughly
alarmed by this announcement, al
though there is no doubt that a great
majority of the people received it with
favor.
Colonel Carlos Cespedes to-day said:
General Wood promised us that the
elections should take place in June,
and he is about to keep his promise.
Now he says that a national convention
will probably be called in September
to draw up a constitution. Our people
are disposed to trust him, especially

A carefully prepared statement on
the appropriations of the session has
been made by Senator Allison, chair
man of the Senate committee on ap-
preparations, and Chairman Cannon of
the House committee on appropria-
tions. in accordance with custom. The

the ensuing, the current and the last
