DISPUTE SETTLED.
TERMINATION OF CHILEAN AR
GENTINE TROUBLE.
The Forces Arc withdrawn-- Arrangement
Was Made Directly with the Chilean
Government--The Argentine Minister at
Washington Highly Gratined.

Washington. Dec. 27.-The Argen-
tine minister, Dr. Garcia Merout, today
received dispatch from the minister
Of foreign affairs at Buenos Ayres, an
nouncing the satisfactory termination
of the Chile-Argentina trouble and
giving the basis of settlement. The
dispatch is as follows:
"The pending incidents with Chile
have been solved by arrangement di-
rectly with the government of that
country and in satisfactory form.
Chile gives explanation of the opening
of the roads through the territory and
both governments agree to withdraw
the police forces which they have main
tanned in the territory in controversy
situated near the inlet of Ultima Es-
peranza. Alcorta.
Minister of Foreign Affairs"
DR.. Garcia Merout expressed himself
as highly gratified with the disappear
ance of the war cloud and pointed out
that the terms of settlement showed
that Argentipe's earnest desire to
maintain peace had led her to make
considerable sacrifices. BY both forces
withdrawing their police from that
locality, the government ownership of
the Ultima Esperanza territory be-
comes a question for arbitration.
Santiago de Chile, Dec. 27.-A pro-
tocol establishing modus vjvendi be-
tween Chile and Argentina was signed

the public here and at Buenos Ayres
today (Friday). Public feeling is sat
isfied and all is perfectly tranquil.
Buenos Ayres, Dec. 27.-The Naclon
says the arrangement arrived at be-
tween Argentina and Chile is more
triumph for common sense than
triumph of diplomacy.
The Paris says that delay in ending
the state of armed peace existing
would ruin Chile. and retard Argenti-
mas progress for twenty years,

shut out the Western League cham
pions in the opening game of the post
season series at Exposition park yes
terday afternoon by score of IL to 0.
It was glorious day for the Associa-

AT the bat there was little COMPARE
son. the Associationists letting loose 13
nlts to their rivals six. Three of the LIZ
swats for two bases and Gear drew
triple. Not one of the Westerners' hits
was for more than one base. and three
OF them were of the infieId variety.
The crowd was larger than was ex-
pected, about 1000 fans turning out to
root for their respective teams The
Association seemed to have the larger
number of sympathizers in the stands,
but the Western League pullers were
not OF the variety that could not make
a world of noise. The crowd was very
orderly perhaps the unevenness of the
game having a depressing influence A
rapid fire of bantering talk was kept
going between the two factions and
many were the hot shot" that found
their way home.
The double umpire system proved
just the thing. Captain Arson watched

race that Lucien Appleby made himself
famous as a stretch runner. Articulate

TUMBLED DOWN.
Front Wall of 9-Story Build
ing Collapsed in Washington.

Washington, Sept z7.-The front por-
ton of the nine-story Office building un-
der construction for Henry S. Willard,
on Fourteenth street, opposite the new
Willard hotel, collapsed shortly after
O'Clock this morning and a large
crowd of people passing on their way
to business had a miraculous escape
from death or injury The accident was
caused by overwhelming the two iron
column supports for the front wall, the
pillars being insufficient to sustain the
weight of the 300 and 1000 pound stones
which were being piled as a sill coping
on the sixth floor. These immense
stones and a part of the iron frame
work fell to the ground, but fortunately
the noise of the crash gave sufficient
warning to the 40 workmen employed
and to the passersby. Only one man, a
laborer named Washington Gordon, was
injured, but he was able to return to
work.
