REPUBLICANS TO CAUCUS.
VIII Endeavor to Patch Up Some
Differences That Exist

It is understood that the Republican
aldermen will caucus some time next
week and decide upon those candidates
whom they wish for chief of the fire de-
partment and street commissioners.
1t is also stated that there is going to
be some plain talks in regard to the po-
sition which the Republican aldermen
should take in the future. At the pres
ent time there seems to be a division In
their ranks, and at this meeting they
will endeavor to patch up their difficult
ties In a number of cases where both
representatives are Republicans from tNe
same ward, they are at loggerheads, and
cannot get together on any proposition.
The Republicans see trouble in the fu-
ture if these strained relations are not
smoothed over, and the only reason why
the Democrats in the council have not
been able to take advantage of the pres
ent conditions, is because they art not
organized the way they should be- If
they can only get together and secure
some good leader, and the Republicans
continue to pull apart, there is no cues
ton that it will have considerable effect
on the political situation next fall.

CAN HAVE ARBITRATION.
Great Britain Is Ready and United
States Will Consent.


WASHINGTON, Dec 23.Both the
Chilean and the Argentine representa-
tives were at the state department today
in reference to the controversy now IN
progress. The United States government
is standing ready to aid in a peaceful
solution in any way agreeable to both
parties. The submission Of the dispute to
Great Britain will be entirely satisfactory
to the authorities here, and they prob
ably will assist in having both govern
ments accede to this manner of solution.
LONDON, Dec. pa representative OF
the Associated Press was informed today
that neither side has as yet approached
the British foreign office. If both Chile
and Argentin request, Great Britain
to arbitrate the matters in dispute be-
tween them, Lord Lansdowne, the foreign
secretary, will promptly acquiesce.
But the statement of DIR. Alcorta, the
Argentina minister of foreign affairs,
that Argentina has referred the matter
to the arbitration of the British govern
nlent under the agreement of 1898, ap-
pears to be inaccurate, for as the foreign
Office understands the case, it is not one
relative to the boundary between the
two countries, but whether Chile has the
right to build neutral roads in the dis
puted territory. Opinion in Downing
street is that while the cause of the dis
pute is petty, serious consequences may
ensue unless prompt action is taken.
