CHILL AND ARGENTINE.
We Are Pleased to Have Great Brit
ain Arbitrnte.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Secretary Hay
has received a cablegram from United
States Minister Wilson at Santiago de
Chill confirming the report that the re-
sources of diplomacy had been ex-
hausted in the effort to settle the dis
pute between Chilli and Argentine and
that diplomatic relations had been
broken off through the withdrawal
from Chill of the Argentine minister.
Touching the proposition emanating
from the Argentine side to refer the
dispute to Great Britain as an arbi-
traitor, the Chilian representatives
claim that this was their own original
proposition. This being the case, 1t is
believed there is a way open for a
peaceful adjustment of the trouble.
Both the Chilian and the Argentine
representatives were at the State De-
parment to-day in reference to the
controversy.
The United States government is
watching the progress of the negotia-
tions and is standing ready to exercise
any service in the way of a peaceful
solution that are agreeable to both the
parties. The submission to Great Brit
ain is entirely satisfactory to the
authorities here and they will probably
aid in having both governments accede
to this manner of solution.

Liverpool, Dec. 23.-An explosion in
fuse box set fire to a crowded train
on the electric overhead railway at
Dingle Station to-day at o'clock. Sew
eral of the railway employees were ter
ribly burned and two were killed.
The burning train entered a tunnel
stored with stacks of creosoted rail-
road sleepers. These were also set on
fire and the tunnel became blazing
furnace. The fire brigade had the
greatest difficulty in extinguishing
the flames. The corpses of the two
men killed were carried from the tun-
mel.

from the tunnel it was some hours be-
fore an entrance to the tunnel could be
effected. Many passengers jumped
from the burning train and rushed out
of the tunnel, while others were drag
ged out by their fellow travellers in a
half suffocated condition.
In spite of the brave attempts made
by the officials to enter the tunnel,
they were soon compelled to abandon
this idea.
Later-The station buildings were
much damaged. Subsequently the
bodies of the station foreman and the
signal boy were extricated, making
seven deaths in all. including the driver
and the guard of the train. Apparently
no passengers were killed, but it is
possible that other bodies may be re-
covered later.

Especial LabOrer'' Claims Protection
of Civil Service Rules.
New York. Dec. 2S.-E. S. Maclay,
whose connection with the Schley case
led President Roosevelt to request his
resignation as special laborer in the
navy, made formal demand to-day for
trial by usual naval procedure. He
averred that his case came under the
civil service law, and that he could not
be dismissed without formal charges,
trial and conviction. The request for
his resignation was sent to him by
Rear Admiral Barker, commander of
the navy yard at Brooklyn, and he re-
piled at once by letter formally setting
forth his position
Discussing the case Maclay said:
THE President cannot have me dis
missed under the law as I see it.
do not see how he can force me out.
| am protected by the civil service laws
enacted by the Congress. whose enact
ments the President is bound to exc
cute. l do not know positively, but
believe my position under civil service
furnishes me complete protection so
long as | violate no rules of the ser
vice. and that I have not done. and I
have so stated in my letter to the
commandant, in answer to the request
for my resignation. No, 1 did not say
that the President is as bad as the
Car of Russia.
81 have done nothing more than write
the commandant and ask that the
charges be preferred against me, and
1 will do nothing more just now. L
have not been suspended, and am work
ing here to-day, as l have been doing
for fifteen months. l have tried to do
my duty and have broken no rules, and
shall simply stand by my rights, more
for the principle of the matter than
anything else, for my position here
pays me very little and is chiefly valu-
able because of the experience and in
formation it affords me as material for
my books"
Rear Admiral Barker forwarded
Maclay's letter to Washington.

His Holiness Disapproves the Ten
denotes of the Times.

Rome, Dec. 2S.-The Pope to-day re-
ceived the cardinals. who offered him
their Christmas greetings. The Pope
made lengthy address, in which he
condemned what he characterized as

church, and urged a union of the

Washington. Dec. 23.-Nothing has
been heard at the Navy Department
from Historian Maclay in response to

nation. Under the rules, an employe is
allowed three days grace in which to
show cause why he should not be dis

is believed that Maclay will be given
a reasonable time to quit the naval

Request for Arbitration Not Re-
ceived as Yet, However.
London, Dec. 23.-The British gov
ernment is watching the progress of
the dispute between the Chilian and
Argentine republics with considerable
anxiety. A representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press was informed to-day
that neither side has as yet approached
the British foreign Office. If both
Chill and Argentina request Great
Britain to arbitrate the matters lin
dispute between them, Lord Lans-
downe, the foreign secretary, will
promptly acquiesee.
But the statement of DR.. Alcorta,
the Argentine minister of foreign af-
fairs, that Argentina has referred the
matter to the arbitration of the Brit
ish government under the agreement
of 1898, appears to be inaccurate, for
the foreign office says the present con-
tention is quite beyond the powers Of
that commission. AS the foreign
office understands the case,
it is not one relative TO the boundary
between the two countries. but wheth-
er Chill has the right to build neutral
roads in the disputed territory. This
commission. of which Lord MacNaugh-
ten Is president, has been sitting IN
London for nearly two years. and is
now almost ready to go and personally
inspect the disputed boundaries. For
various reasons, however, the depart
ure of this commission has been de-
layed and is likely 10 be delayed for
some time to come.
The appeal Of DR.. Alcorta has not
yet been officially communicated TO the
British foreign office. When this ap-
peal does reach Downing street. II will
meet with the foregoing answer. Al

for foreign affairs, holds that the Mac
