DOES NOT FIT THE CASE.
Agreement of 1898 Will Not Cover the
Present Matter of Dispute.

Agreement of 1898 Will Not Cover the
Present Matter of Dispute.
London, Dec. 24.-The British gov
eminent is watching the progress of
the dispute between the Gillian and
Argentine republics with considerable
anxiety. A representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press was Informed yesterday
that neither side has as yet approached
the British foreign office. If both
Chill and Argentina request Great
Britain to arbitrate the matters in dis
pute between them Lord LansdOWne,
the foreign secretary, will promptly
acQuiesce.
But the statement Of Dr. Alcorta, the
Argentine minister of foreign affairs,
that Argentina has referred the mat
ter to the arbitration of the British
government under the agreement of
1898 appears to be inaccurate, for the
foreign office says the present conten-
ton is quite beyond the powers of that
commission. AS the foreign office I'M
derstands the case it is not one rela-
tive to the boundary between the two
countries, but whether Chill has the
right to build neutral roads in the dis
puted territory. This commission, of
which Lord MacNaughten is president
has been sitting in London for nearly
two years, and is now almost ready to
go and personally inspect the disputed
boundaries.
The appeal of DR.. Alcorte has not
yet been officially communicated to the
British foreign office. When this ap-
peal does reach Downing street it will
meet with the foregoing answer Al
though Lord Lansdowne, the secretary
for for eign affairs, holds that the Mac
Naughv zen commission is poWerless he
will intimate the willingness Of Great
Britain to arbitrate the difficulty be-
tween the two countries If Chilli agrees
to that DrOpOsitiOn.

CUMM1Ns STATES HIS POLICY
He Will Move for Railway Taxation Based
on Actual Value.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec. 24-Governor-
elect A. B. Cummins has announced
his programme with respect to the tax
alton of railroad property in Iowa. He
proposes the creation of non-partisan
commission of three men to investigate
and determine the actual value of the
railroads in this state, their conclusion
to form the basis of the assessment by
the executive council.
He suggests the postponement Of the
date Of assessment from March until
July so that the railroads may be as
sessed at the same time other property
valuations are eQualized by the coun-
ell. Cummins was supported for the
nomination for governor by those who
charge that the railroad property of
the state is escaping taxation, and his
programme created the liveliest inter-
est in Iowa.

days ago, was selling at from $14 to SLABS
in carload lots. To-day it is quoted at
SIS per ton fiat by the carload laid down
at the railroad stations. The increase is
not due to any action on the part of To-
cal dealers, but is an affair which rests
entirely with shippers. The latter realize
that everybody is not shipping just now
and are making as much profit as pos
sible While the opportunity lasts. The
wild or mixed brand is only % cents
per ton higher than it was last week,
while alfalfa is about the same. There
is strong probability that another

during the last few days, having in

A week ago they could have been bought
in carload lots at from s1.1O to $1.15 per

nothing in the situation to warrant the
