of Lord Rosebery's Liberal League
with the view. so il was alleged. of
turning the Federation into an instru-

In spite of resolutions to the con-
trary Lady Helen persisted in staying
in the chair while the discussion of
her conduct was going on. She hOtly
declared the Federation showed the
most indecent haste in desiring to get
rid of her. adding: Il am in the chair

of her supporters. the wife of Il MEM
ber of parliament. made personal
charges against their opponents. and in
spite of Kisses and prolonged inter
ruption Lady Helen persisted that she
be allowed TO continue.
The wife Cf another member of par
lament declared that the executive
committee had deliberately tampered
with Lady Helen's circular by issuing
it with underlined sentences which
were not marked by thepresident. This
statement was greeted by Il chorus of
hisses from the ScOtchwomen assem-
bled. Then the delegates stood up and
shouted. and wild confusion prevailed
while the tellers for the vote on the
presidents resignation were appointed.
Lady Helen, referring to one of the
ladies chosen. said "she can surely be
trusted whereupon all the other tell
ers, believing their honor To be i'm
pugned, refused to act. Ultimately a

uprOar had died down it was found
that Lady Helen's resignation had been
accepted by 133 to 63 votes. The

STORY OF THE Plus FUND
Once the Case Was Arbitrated with Sir
Edward Thornton as Umpire.

The case is one connected with the
earliest history of the North American
continent after European occupation.
In 1867 IL charitable fund was estab-
Iished for the support of Roman Cath
olic missions i'll the CALIFORNIA;. The
gifts were made in trust to the Society
of Jesuits. The subsequent history of
the fund is thus described: In 1867 the
Spanish crown made an order eXpell-
ing the Jesuits from Mexico and Cali
fornia and took over the property of
the order and ADMINISTERED the fund
through a commission appointed for
that purpose. When Mexico achieved
independence she succeeded to the
trust and continued to apply the pro-
ceedS of the fund to the maintenance
of the missions.
When upper California was ceded to
the United States Mexico ceased to pay
the Roman Catholic church there a
portion of the fund and the United
States made Il claim for the arrears,
which claim was arbitrated. Sir Ed
ward Thornton being the umpire and
deciding that Mexico must pay in ar
rears $904, 100 This was paid. and
then MeXicoquitpaying again. alleging
that Sir Edward Thornton exceeded
his powers. when Minister Clayton in
1897 pressed for payment.
As a result of the Pan-American
conference last winter and its recon-
mendations on the subject of disputes
between American republics. an agree
ment was reached to refer the case to
he international tribunal, the supreme
court of the world. The conclusion of
the matter is that Mexico will pay the
United States about 100000. the judg-
ment specifying Mexican money, which
is of silver standard.
Sehnor Padro. in behalf of Mexico,
declared he was sure that So soon as
his government learned of the court S
award it would accept it. He must.
however. reserve for his government
the right to avail itself of the provis-
ions of the protocol.
