cusses the possibility of the resignation

the postal company all the privileges
now enjoyed by plaintiff company and

BOUNDARY is SETTLED.
Lord Lansdowne Makes Award in

ChIli-Argentine Dispute.
London, Nov. 26.-Lord Lansdowne,
secretary OF state for foreign affairs,
yesterday handed to the Chilean and
Argentine ministers at the foreign office
the award of the British arbitration
commission in the boundary dispute
between Chile and the Argentine Re-
public, which more than once threat
ened to result I'm hostilities between the
two countries.
The award is essentially compro-
mise. OF the disputed territory. en-
bracing $4,000 square kilometers, 55.-
600 square kilometers are given to
Chile and 10000 to the Argentine Re-
public.
On the whole, however, Argentina
has the greater cause for satisfaction
The disputed territory consisted Of
various detached regions between the
parallels of 20 and so degrees south
latitude and lying on either side of
those parallels. 1t is generally ac-
knowledged the award draws the new
boundary from Lake Lakar, at which
the northernmost of the disputed terri
tory begins, allowing the whole of Ar
gentina's claim concerning this part of
Mount Tronador Thence the line ex-
tends southeasterly to near the river
Felaleufu, then easternly, allowing
Chile's entire claim, to Cacique Blanca.
After passing the Sierra Galera the line
turns south, allowing Chile, roughly
speaking three-fifths of her claim, and
then intersects Lake Buenos Ayres to
the end of the disputed section near
Mount Fitzroy.
The next disputed section--namely:
the Vale del Diez Seis de Octobre is
ewarded to Argentina. The southern
most of the disputed territory was the
hinterland of Ultima Esperanza inlet.
Argentina claimed Paliquo, a settle
ment westward of Ultima Esperanza
and part of the hinterland, but not the
inlet itself.
The award allows the major part of
Argentina's claim, including Paliquo.
In the disputed strip of the Atacana
district the award gives Chile the inn
Dortant town of San Francisco. Other
wise practically the whole strip goes to
Argentina, the new boundary nearly
following the Buchanan award.
A majority of the important points
over which the two countries nearly
went to war in 1899 are awarded to Ar
gentina, while Chile secures the larger
area Of the debated territory. Much of
this. however, is uninhabited, and of
comparatively small value. The award,
which engaged the arbitrators for three
years, closes dispute which began in
184T.

which was introduced by the manager
of the American Electrical works at
Manchester. has been formally protest

their laborers - cents an hour against
cents paid by the British employers,
and yet double the amount of work ac-

ignore the protest. They say the Brit

he is demoralized by low wages and

men, against whom he has no redress
The British employers blacklist the
men their foremen discharge, and are
attempting to prevent the American

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-The Phila-

lowing from Washington: Grover
Cleveland.s letter on the condition of
the democratic party is regarded here
as indicating that the .eN-president has
an idea he can break sthe precedent of
more than century and for third
time become the chief executive Of the
nation. 1t is also regarded as indicat-
ing that the eminent Princetonian has
had some notions put into his head
on this subject by some very powerful
persons who are doing all they can t.
find someone to defeat Theodore
Roosevelt at the polls There is no one
in the democratic party who stands so
well with the moneyed interests of the
country as the ex-president, hence the
conclusion that some of those who are
looking the field over for a candidate
to oppose Roosevelt have been talking
to Mr. Cleveland.
