There were three points at issue be-
tween Parsons and Saunders. First,
the charge by Parsons that a man
named Mathews, who had been in an
asylum. was permitted by the state
authorities to place his name on the
election ticket. Second, that mum

OLD CLAIMS INVOLVED
Agreement With America Admitted In
Commons.

Agreement With America Admired IN
London. June 2o--The report that
James Bryce, British ambassador at
Washing ton. had been authorized 10
sign the British-American pecunlary
claims agreement was officially con-
flrmed by Thomas M, Wood, Under
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
in the House of Commons to-day Mr.,
Wood sta ed that the Foreign Office was
now in communication with the State
Department of the United States re-
garding the publication OF the terms
of the agreement.
The signing OF the British American
pecuniary claims agreement marks the
end of prolonged negotiations. The last
general claims commission was con-
vened In 1868. It dealt with claims
which had arisen slnoe 1872. In the
seventies the Civil War claims We're
disposed of. The present negotiations
thus concern claims between the gov
ernments dating back before 1912 and
with general claims which have arisen
since 1853. In the general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain, which was signed IN
April l9OS, provision was made that
the treaty would not apply to existing
pecuniary claims It Is said tG be

made public. will be found to have

action Of the board of trust Of Van

copal Church. South. to fill the va
cancies In that body. The bishop
threw down the gauntlet to the board
of trust, declaring that "the church
believes that the decision of the COM
mission Capponted by the church to
consider the university matter) was
in every way sound and Just, and it
will contend for it to the end"
''The issue has been fairly Joined
said the bishop. land there will be no
compromise. The naked question is
whether the church, which originated
the university. and which by the sol
emn affirmation of the trustees them
selves. put on their own record three
years ago. owns the university, has any
right to control It, If the church does
not control the university, 1t intends
to know the fact, and the sooner the
matter can be determined the better 1t
will be for all concerned"
The bishop stated that while no
definite action could be taken until a
meeting of the College Of Bishops Is
held, there is no doubt at all In his
mind that there would be a suit.
