COSTA RIGA OBJECTS.
Opposition in Congress to Panama
Boundary Convention.

Official reports have reached the State
Department from Costa RIGA to the eff
feet that strong opposition has developed
in the Costa Rica congress to the ratifi-
cation of the convention signed in Wash
ington some months ago by represent
atives OF that country and Panama, by
which their boundary dispute was refer
red to the Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court as arbitrator The
opinion is expressed that the convention
may be rejected.
The State Department officials are at
loss to understand The attitude OF the
Costa Rlcan congress, in view of the
fact that the gCoo OnlceS of the United
States to secure some settlement of the
differences were extended at the special
request OF the Costa Rlcan government
as we'll as that of Panama. which were
most urgent. Acting on their requests
the Secretary of State suggested that
representatives of the two governments
meet in some friendly capital and if
possible reach a decision among them
selves. Washington was selected, not by
Secretary Knox. but by the governments
OF Costa RIGA and Panama, and after
long discussion during which the repre-
sentatlves We're in constant communica-
ton with their respective governments, a
convention was signed naming Chief
Justice Fuller as arbitrator.

MEET ON THE OLD SOD.
Third Contingent of Irish Home
goers Land at Queenstown.

The third contingent visiting Ireland
under the auspices of the Home Going
Association arrived at Queenstown May
n, according to advices from that city
received in Washington by the secretary
OF the Irish Home Going Association.
They comprised first, second and third
class passengers, all actuated by de-
sire to see something of the land of their
fathers. The Irish press has commented
very favorably upon the number Of
Americans who have arrived in that
country up TO date. and it is conceded
that they have exceeded the hopes of the
most sanguine. and the success Of the
home going has been established. AL
though the summer has but scarcely be-
gun, and the great bulk CT travel is ex-
pected in July, August and September,
which months are the most enjoyable in
Ireland. there is a noticeable increase in
lrish-American visitors throughout the
island. AS a result Of the movement the
steamship lines between New York and
Queenstown report marked increase Of
bookings for Ireland over last year.
DR.. Robert Ambrose. an Irish member
of parliament. has communicated with
Joseph d. Sullivan. secretary, of the
Irish Home Going Association, proposing
the establishment of a line of steamships
between Galway, in the west of Ireland
and New York He claims that such a
line would prove a great boon to the
country, and give stimulus to agricultural
enterprise. besides being a practical way
in which American capital could be profit
ably invested

MAKING REPAIRS AT SEA.
Warships to Be Kept in Perfect Con
dition as Far as Possible.

The Secretary Of the Navy, in order
to promote the independence and effici-
ency of the fleet, has instituted a system
Of periods of repair following that Of
cruising, and has caused special attention
to be devoted to making repairs at sea.
To that end one repair ship has been
placed in commission, and another has
been asked for, while foundries are being
installed on AL the ships. In that way
it is expected that many trip to the
navy yards or into port will be saved,
an economy in time of peace and great
advantage in time Of war, The object
is to keep the ships in as near perfect
condition at all times as is possible, as
is done in the nrst-class lines of the mer-
chant marine. Besides that each vessel
will be assigned a home base or yard,
which will be visited at stated inter-
walls for through overhauling. These
visits will be so disposed as to furnish
continuous work for the navy yard
forces. The officers and crews of the
ships will supervise and perform the re-
pair work and the installation Of new
machinery and devices, in so far as prac-
ticable, their efforts being supplement-
ed by the yard force. This will warrant
keeping. moreover, a steady force of ex-
pert machinists at each navy yard.
