Arxutnent Against Chile Communts
Gated TO the United states.
Washington, d. c.. Sept. IL. Bolivia
has formally communicated to the
United States an argument of itx claim
to a port on the Pacific ocean in case
the provinces of Tacna and africa are
decided to belong to Chile In view OF
this fact state department. officials be-
[iieve there Ia truth in the report pub
|lished several days ago that Chile had
formally denied her liability to cede a
port to Bolivia in the event of obtains
ing permanent control of the provinces
named. The effect of this denial is
likely to solidify the alliance between
Bolivia and Peru against Chilean ag-
gression. but as the Chilean govern
|ment has been steadily strengthening
its army and navy it is not likely that
the coalition will be effective in wrest-
ing the territory from the Santiago
government if war should be decided
upon.
That Peru and Bolivia appreciate this
fact is shown by the suggestion made to
this government that Peru would be
glad to have it interfere to secure a
final settlement of the controversy. Ad-
ADMINISTRATION officials state emphatical-
Ily. however, that the dispute is not one
which concerns the United States and
that this government will under no cir
Icumstances interfere.

Say. situation is Complicated.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE Chinese situa-
ton is here deemed highly unsatisfac-
tory and complicated, tho no sensational
events are Immediately expected and
isolated action upon thepart of any one
power is not anticipated. According to
the opinion here, all the interested pow
ers are too firmly convinced of the im-
portance of continued harmony to jeop-
sardiZe it when no necessity calls for it,.
1T ia not expected that either Russia or
France Will withdraw troops huriedly
from Pekin. il is believed the United
States will not be in any greater hurry.
Information reached here that Russia
in any event will keep large bodies of
troops in China, not inly in the frontier
provinces of Mongolia, Manchuria and
kurinl but in the interior and coast
districts of Pe-Chi-Li.
The military commanders Of the all
lied forces are agreed that it is neces-
sary to strengthen the practical and
strategical position of the international
troops in e-Chi-Li. Russia, too, will
furnish the railroad from Yang Tsu to
Pekin.
Germany will insist on severe punish
ment being inflicted on the treacherous
authorities. Germany will not accept
Yung Lu az a peace negotiator. II the
charges made against Yung Lu that he
led the attacks against the Pekin lega-
lions can be proved.
But Germany, thru her foreign office,
insists on the principle of severe punish
ment, does not oppose peace with China
as shown by SchWarzenstein. the Ger
man minister to China, accepting Ii
Hung Chang's visit at Shanghai.
The German papers say Germany was
the only power not permitting footing
and maintaining the strictest discipline
among the troops in China.
The papers nearly all condemn the
placing OF German loan in the United
States az calculated to hun1iliate the
nation. The Voa91ache Zeitung publish

The Cold Wave.

Chicago Sept. 17.-High winds. heavy
seas and blighting frossts5 in many sec
tons of the country resulted from the
storm that bore down upon Chicago
from the northwest yesterday. The
cold wave followed the path of the
storm from the point of its origin in
South Dakota last Friday. Passenger
traffic was almost suspended over the
great lakes yesterday. Sailors declared
they had the toughest sea since last
spring. the steamer Glenn, which left
South Haven at 8 o'clock Saturday
night With nearly 200 passengers, was
compelled 70 put into port at st. Jo-

day. She left for Michigan city at l0sa

lnnes and His Band.

It is an established fact that music has direct effect upon the nervous organiza- ton. Innes, the famous band director, Is emphatic In the belief that music is a cur ative for physical ills. By natural processes well known to the medical profession it may produce physical and mental changes. By acting upon the nerves, it increases the action of the heart, and quickens the cir eulation of the blood. That may be the result of one kind of music. Another kind may soothe instead of excite. Presumably, the patient would be treated according to the disease.
 Innes is coming here with his band soon. If there is anything in his. theory, his own band ought to be the greatest of all nerve specialists. Innes does strange things with his band. It has been said that his perfor- nance of the "Mgnon" overture, for in- stance is simply revolutionary in its novel tone effects. The giving of entire scenes from grand operas, aided by well known vocal artists, is another feature which promises to uphold his reputation al a con- cert giver of marked originality.
 The date of the Innes engagement at the Jefferson Theatre is next Tusday night. Sale of seats will commence tomorrow morning.

PUBLIC SHOOTING
 IN GREAT CROWD
Two Pistol Shots CareIessIy Fir ed Cause Imminent Danger
 and Wild ConSternation

While the races were in progress at the Fair Grounds yesterday and an immense crowd had gathered in and around the grand stand, two pistol shots were fired near the judges stand and for several min utes there was great consternation. Men rushed pell nell over each other to avoid expected flying bullets, and there were screams from several women in the grand stand. The shots were fired by Goodman Jones, a well-known young man of this city. Fortunately the barrel of his pistol was knocked upward and no one was hurt
 It seems that heated discussion be- tween w. T. Johnson, a saloon keeper, and w. H. Jones, a produce broker had grown into a quarrel, and the friends of MT Jones, who is one-armed say that Mr. Johnson struck him. On the other hand, 1t is claimed that Jones struck Johnson with his false arm. Goodman Jones, younger brother of the broker took up his brothers fight and it is said drew a pistol and struck MT. Johnson across the forehead. Johnson grabbed the muzzle of the pistol and dur ing the scuffle shot was fired, the bullet going over the crowd Then there -%as general scufle and another shot was fired, but no one was hurt.
 An immense crowd of men had gathered around the judges stand to witness pac- ing race, and it was in the center of this crowd that the trouble began. When the first shot was fired many persons rushed to the place to ascertain the nature ol the trouble When they saw the two men scuffiing over the revolver there was a general stampede and everybody made a run for sale quarters
 There were several policemen present and the three men who had participated in the quarrel were immediately placed un- der arrest and taken away from the excited crowd Both MT. Johnson and Mir Good man Jones were placed under bond ana will be given a hearing before Judge Fea- gin this morning.
 Much indignation was expressed over liis reckless shooting in crowd of several thousand men, women and children all out on pleasure bent Many women were so alarmed that they left the grand stand soon after the affair. The police were quick in stopping the fight and arrestlng the offenders and are deserving of much credit for their prompt action This affair should lead the police hereafter to search every man, for firearms, who enters a place of public amusement The law against concealed weapons cannot be too strictly enforced.
