PROTESTS FROM CHILE.
Objections to Arbitration at the
Mexico City Conference.


The Executive Committee of the Bureau
of the American Republics had a meeting
at the State Department yesterday with
Acting Secretary Hill in the chair and
attempted TO reach a definite decision as
10 the character of the arbitration pro-
nosal to be considered by the Pan-Ameri-
can conference in the City of Mexico next
october.
The Chilean Minister, Senor Vicuna, was
nresent and in answer TO the objections
of Peru and Bolivia against permitting
Chile to be represented at the conference
unless that country would agree to be
hound by the decision of the conference
concerning arbitration of disputes between
American nations explained that his Gov
ernnent wanted a definite understanding
as to what the conference proposed on any
subject. He objected TO the present ten
tative proposition in regard TO arbitration
now under consideration. Chile's position
IS that she cannot agree to any proposal
which would require her to submit to
bitration the claims of the South Ameri-
can countries, particularly Peru and Boz
liyia. to territory held by Chile.
No action was taken at the meeting.
The arbitration question has assumed
such a serious phase, threatening, as it
does. the success of the conference in
the CITY of Mexico, that meeting of
an the Latin-American representatives in
Washington may be called.

The "pelsIn Gaxette,s" OrdenIs.
From the London chronicle-)

(From the London Chronicle)
The 'Pekin Gazette" which justly claims to
be the Oldest newspaper in the world, having
been founded in 1880 may be said to have ap-
ncared with an irrcgulIrity tantamount 10 stS-
pension during the late Chinese troubles. very
few copies of this journal have survived those
troubles as the Boxers made point OF destroy
inc ali the printed matter they could lay their
hands on containing edcts. etc, hostile 10 their
cause and of decapitating its publishers. Conse-
ouently the Gazette" had 70 be secretly
printed and it is only lately that some members
Of the editorial staff have been able to return to
Pekin under the protection of the American
authorities there. II is significant cireum-
stance that during its existence for seven and
a half centuries every suspension OF its publ
cation has been followed by the establishment OF
4 new dynasty.

that duty upon the withdrawal of the

guard, and his attention is especially in
vited to the fact that the troops under
his command are stationed in a foreign
country, with which the United States is

therefore, not be used aggressively, un-
less in defence of the American Legation
or of persons and property of American
citizens in its immediate vicinity.
THE commanding officer Of the guard
will consult freely with the United States
Minister concerning the purposes and
functions of his command, and will be
guided in all except strictly professional
and administrative matters by his wishes
and desires. A state of strict discipline
should be constantly maintained, and par
ticular attention given to as thorough and
complete instruction of the soldier in all
his studies as circumstances permit, and
to impreSSinR each each ana everyone
connected with the legation guard
realization of the situation and of the
individual and collective responsibility in
voIved.
THE guard will repel attacks made by
Chinese on the American Legation, or
its own position, and if necessary to do
so. may fire on the assailants. The guard

not produce the food Of her population
by a considerable percentage. Theoret-
icalIy, ii is perhaps true that in some
sort she might be able to at pinch, but
it would take several years and much
expense to bring production to the level
of consumption. A tariff alliance be-
tween the United States and Russia,
which should include an agreement to
discriminate heavily against all Ger
man goods, would involve a burdensome
balance of trade against Germany,
which would still have to buy our
cereals and some other things, and
create distress among all the industrial
workers of the Empire.
1t is possibly a question whether the
Kaiser's Government could afford to en-
gage in the combat What we have
said of Germany applies with practical
ly equal force to Austria Hungary and
France. But it is always better to
trade than to fight. Our infant indus
tries" no longer require the fostering
care of a prohibitive tariff. We are rich
and prosperous, and do not need to
starve Europe in order to live. The
best thing we could do would be tc
start in early next winter and raze the
Dingley tariff What this country
needs, as President Mckinley truly
says. is markets and not maXims.'
