ed. Nothing of this kind was done at the
pension bureau today. When Mr.. Warner
entered his office he drew attention to the
big mail on his desk and said 1t meant a
lot of work. He set the example for his
clerks by starting in on the work imme-
diately. He received one or two of the
chiefs of divisions who happened to have
business in the commissioners office. Mr..
Warner plans to become acquainted with
the vast force of the bureau through visits
paid to the various divisions from time to
time. He does not intend to have cere-
monious meetings in his office, but expects
every man to do the work cut out for him,
and will set the example by keeping the
business of his end of the office right up
to date. Mr.. Warner remained at his desk
about two hours and then left for the Capt.
toll, where he had some business to settle
up in connection with the transfer of the
affairs of his congressional district to his
successor.
The clerks of the pension office returned
to duty this morning after a ten days va
cation, occasioned by the use of the build
ing for the inaugural ball All of the clerks
reported at o'clock, but it was possible
to put but a few of them to work, and all
but those having offices on the top floor and
the clerks of the mailing division, were ex-
cused. 1t is believed that it will be day
or two before the force can settle down
to the regular routine. The file cases that
occupy the court of the building have not
yet been restored to their places and the
business of the office cannot go on until
these cases have been restored. The work
of moving in the cases and tearing out
the decorations and temporary structures
has been going on since Monday night
Much of the work has been finished but
there yet remains a great deal to do. The
commissioners offices have, been shorn of
their decorations and are gradually resum-
ing their accustomed appearance The
decorations in many of the rooms in the
building will be allowed to remain intact
until all the visitors get out of town.

COMMISSIONERWARNER
ASSUMES CHARGE OF PENSION
OFFICE WITHOUT CEREMONY. i

Commissioner Vespasian Warner of the
pension bureau assumed the duties of his
new office this morning without undue cere-
mony. Mr.. Warner was one of the first
arrivals at the tension building, reaching
his office at o'clock. He found an accu-
mutation of personal mail on his desk. and
set to work to get rid of that. He brought
a large quantity of mail with him and
turned this over to his assistants for dis
position. Mr.. Warner commenced work
quietly and without the usual display and
ceremony. In former times it has been
the custom for the chiefs of the various di-
visions to call upon Il new commissioner
and extend their greetings. The commits
sioner was introduced to them, and after
a few words of greeting the chiefs depart

BOUNDARY DISPUTE OVER.
Panama and Costa Rica Sign a Treaty
Settling the Matter.

(By Mexican Cable to n. Y. Herald.)
Panama, via Galveston, Tex, March
GA mutually satisfactory treaty
of the Costa Rica boundary question
was signed at noon lad referendum
by Secretary Guardia and the Costa
Rican envoy, Senior Pacheco, on the
Amador basis.
This generally follows M. Loubet's
decision of September Is, 1900, the
line running from Punta Mona on
the Atlantic to Punta Burica on the
Pacific.
The definite line starts from Punta
Mona on the Atlantic and encloses
the northern Costal plains Sixnola
on the Panama side, and also the pic
turesque valley of Urpuines, which
eventually will become an important
colonizing centre.
Costa RIGA gets under definite boun-
Diary lines according to the treaty, all
the interior valleys in Talamanca, in
habited by about $500 Indians, and
measuring about 2,054 square kilo-
metres, 141 of which legitimately be-
longed to Costa Rica. Only about one
thousand hectares in Talamanca are
considered suitable for cultivation.
The present frontier question has
been discussed for six years, and the
satisfactory arrangements arrived at
now insure to both countries definite
enjoyment of their territorial rights.
The signing of the treaty is evidently
proof of the present reciprocal cordial
relations between Panama and Costa
Rica. The Presidents, Amador and
Esquivel, deserve much credit for the
active part taken by them in elaborat-
ing the treaty and carrying it to a
practical conclusion in spite of many
difficulties and political systematic OPP
position in both countries.
