While it is the fact that the negotiations
have been completed for the sale of the
Little kanawha railroad by the receiv-
ers. and the money has been paid, 1t is
also true that the persons who are most
largely interested in the road do not
know to whom 1t was sold. A man came
here last week and conducted the nego-
tiations. paying the cash required, but
saying not word as TO who the purchas-
err is. The owners of the road know that
as soon the legal conditions can be
complied with the road will change hands,
but into what hands it will pass they do
not know.

parties agree to submit to the decision o.
the permanent court OF arbitration estah-
lshed by that convention all controvcr-
sizes embraced under the proposed Pan

TO the dispute prefers that a special court
