To Arbitrate Chamizal Zone Dispute.

The convention for the arbitration Of
the dispute between the United States
and Mexico over the Chamizal Zone. at
FL Paso Tex, was signed last night
by Secretary Knox on behalf Of the
United States and Ambassador de la
Barra for Mexico. The treaty provides
for the arbitration Of the question by
an American commissioner. Gen. Arson
Mills; Mexican commissioner. Fer
nande Beltram Puga, and by an
eminent Canadian jurist yet to be
selected.
The dispute arose out Of the tickle
course Of the Rio Grande river In the
rivers meanderings Mexico claims that
by a process Of erosion the river cut a
new channel at Ell Paso, Tex, whereby
the strip OF land in question was de-
tached from the Mexican mainland. The
United States contends that the ter
ritory was added to the state Of Texas
by a process Of accretion. sands from
the Mexican shore being deposited on
the Texas side OF the river. Under ex-
listing treaty agreements the title to
the land, valued as high as $4,000. 900,
depends upon whether the channel OF
the river has changed by accretion or
erosion

'aries. was made by Blackstone to pro-
tect himself. for some students TOOK

OF the third. SO here is chance for
Dossessors of old libraries to search for

editions published. and d ninth was in

Prof. Dicey recommends the study Of the
Commentaries In their original form.
This. we believe, is the method adopted
By American lawyers.

the quality of the ships built In Japans
backwards is still improving. 1t Is cal
culated that the minimum addition made
to Japan's navy during the next ten
wears should he twenty-five units of the
first fighting line, which will involve a
total outlay of from $500, 100000 to $225.-
OOO, 600. 1t is apparent from the condl-
lions cited that Japan is in no position
to wage a naval war on any great power.

assure herself of competence to encoun-
ter any force which any foreign state,
England excluded, will be capable of
