TO WIIHDRA ARTILLERY.
British War Office Decides to Brtng
 Back Twenty Batteries

London, Dec. 24.-The war office has decided to withdraw at once twenty batteries of artillery from South Afri- ca. This action is taken on the ground that under the present conditions of guerilla warfare the guns are of little use and are rather hindrance to mo- blity and decisive action.
 An army order issued tonight an- nounces that in the future no volun- teers will be accepted who are only able to devote to training purposes the time required for elementary barrack square drill The colnnander-in-c chief points out in this connection that mod ern warfare has so changed conditions that in order to be effective it is now imperative that the volunteers attend the annual instruction camps and field manoeuvres.
 It is generally believed that this order will wipe out large majority of the present volunteers.

THIRD VAR CHKISTMAS.
Burden of the Editorials in English
 Papers.

London, Dec. 25-"Christmas for the third year in succession, finds the country engaged in war" is the bur den of the editorials in the London pa pers this morning and regrets are ex- pressed that the casualty list issued to- day totals forty-nine men killed and seventy one wounded. Satisfaction, however, is found in the fact that the process of attrition brings the end of the struggle perceptibly nearer Com pensation is likewise found in the un- diminished loyalty displayed by the colonies.
 Christmas brought change of weather conditions in Europe, where the severe frost and snow have given way to cold rain and sleet. In London the wretched weather threw a certain gloom over the festivities. Shopkeep- CTS suffered heavily, as the downpour kept thousands of people indoors.

QUESTION OF REPATRIATION.
Attitude of Countries Represented at q
 nn-AmericaM Conference.

Mexico City, Dec, 24.-Though the an-American conference as 3 whole will undoubtedly fall back in the mat ter of arbitration upon The Hague convention, it is learned that a numbef of the South American nations will join among themselves to sign a request convention of compulsory arbitration. Some of the nations who will sign the compulsory plan will not refuse to sign the milder arrangement to be formulat- ed by the congress, but others like Ar gentna are so bent on compulsory ar bitration that it was claimed they will decline to sign anything less radical.
 Nowhere is the Chili-Argentne dis pute followed with greater interest than in Mexico just now. Articles set ting forth both sides of the dispute and supposed to be inspired by the repre- eentatives of the nations at the Pan American conference appear daily in the press.
 If war were to break out the confer ence would almost certainly dissolve as there is little question that the Argen- tine delegates and those who sympa- thize with them would withdraw.

ARG EN7IYA 1ND CHILL.
Conciliatory Negotiations Renewed by
 the Two Countries.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 24 (via Calves
 ton, TeX.-Senor Alcorta, Argentine
 minister of foreign affairs, has sent 8
 telegraphic communication to Florence
 Dominguez, the minister of Argentina
 to Great Britain, in which he informs
 the latter of the renewal of conciliatory negotiations between Argentina and
 Chilli This step was taken in order
 that Senor DomingueZ may officially inform the arbitration commission and other persons interested in the matter, of the new developments in the situa- tion.
 Documents putting an end to the present state of affairs will probably be signed by representatives of both Ar gentina and Chili at Santiago de Chilli tonight. On the request of the Chil- ian administration the Argentine gov ernment has telegraphed Senor Portela, minister of that country to Chilli, to re- enter upon negotiations with Senor Yanez, the Chilian minister of foreign affairs, and have authorized their rep resentative to sign the documents ter minating the present situation.
 Washington, Dec, 24.-Commenting upon the London reports to the effect that the boundary commission could not deal with the pending issue, being linn tied in functions by the treaty which created it to the definition of the boun- Gary it is pointed out here that, admit ting the existence of this limitation, there is still no good reason why Chilli. being willing, the necessary additional authorization may not be given the commission by mutual consent of the parties. The only doubtful question re- maning is as to Chli's willingness to follow the lead of Argentina in giving additional authorization to the boun- diary commission. This doubt is rather a serious one for several days have elapsed since Argentina made the prop osition and Chii has not yet signlfied that the proposition is acceptable On the contrary, while not specifically de- clining, intimations have reached the here that Chli did not look with favor upon the latest move of Ar gentina, but regarded it as the inter- ruption of the negotiations which had been satisfactorily progressing up to that time. If this proves to be prelimi- nary to Chili's rejection of Argentina's latest move then the crisis will become more acute than ever before.

RIILROAD MEAS WAGES!
Meeting That May Result in Imct ease on Reads East of Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 24-At special meet
 ing of the General Managers associa-
 ton held here to-day a movement was l started which may result in a general l increase ill the wages of trainmen. en- ! zine men, firemen and switchmen on all
 the big railroad systems east of Chi | cago.
 The meeting was called at the re- quest of the Pennsylvania company, | the causes being the coal shortage in | Chicago and other cities, shortage of 1 cars and power, and the congested con- dition of traffic in general The cCal situation, however, was the moving vause for the meeting, and discus sion
 regarding it led to a canvass of the en-
 tire situation.
 In the opinion of the majority of the general managers the general conges- tion Is due in q. measure to inettieiency of the services rendered by employees and this view led into a discussion of the labor and wage situation from a railroad standpoint. Although no for maj resolution was passed upon the subject it was generally agreed that a raise in the wages of employees would do much toward stimulating them to better work, which in turn would help relieve congested conditions as we'll as to prevent them.
 Attention was called to the fact that wages of operating employees of rail- roads are from 10 to 12 per cent. higher, taking the average as a whole, west of Chicago than they are east.
 The inequality is due to conditions in the early days of railroading, when it cost a great deal more to live in the west than it did in the east, and when railroading west of Chicago meant talk ing big chances. The general managers of Chicago are of the opinion that now is the time to make a concerted action to even up wages all over the country. Holding this view of the situation, an effort will be made, 1t Is said, to induce the arrangements of the eastern lines to grant such increases In wages as will bring them on parity with the wages paid in the west Should this be brought about several hundred thou sand men will be granted increases and the payrolls of the eastern roads, taken as a whole, will be increased several million dollars.

VENLZUELA MUST PAY UP.
Germany Will Sooner or Later Bring
 Pressure to Hear.


 Berlin, Dec. 24-The announcement that Germany had sent an ultimatum to Venezuela has been conspicuously printed in the press here Those news papers maintaining the closest relations with the government affirm that this news is premature. While an ultimatum has not yet been delivered to Vene- zuela, they say, this step will soon be taken unless Venezuela yields to what are deemed here the reasonable de- mands of Germany.
 The leading ultra -montane organ, the Cologne volkezeitung, in an extensive article on Gernany's attitude toward the Monroe doctrine, asserts that the assurances of Dr. Won Holleben the German ambassador to the United States with regard to the Venezuelan matter indicate Germany's recognition of the Monroe doctrine in a more ab- solute manner than has heretofore been done. This paper says Germany bows to the Monroe doctrine, and alludes to the expression of the late Prince Bis marck that the Monroe doctrine was "a piece of impudence.
 This utterance of the German states man, which is doubtless authentic, has just been published for the first time by the Hamburger Nachrichten, Bis marck's household organ. Neverthe less, the Cologne Volkszeitung admits that the impudence of the United States is succeeding brilliantly and that Europe is already accustoming it. self to the idea of the tutelage of the United States in South America.
 The Cologne Volkszeitung concludes by saying: Must Germany really ask Washington permission to collect B. 100000 marks from Venezuela? Must we pocket all sorts of warnings and concealed threats?"
