TO SETTLE AlS0P CLAIM
Knox Orders Distribution of
$935,000 Paid by Chill

Washington, Aug. l6.--The famous Al
sop claim. which several years ago
threatened the friendly relations OF tho
United States and Chill. is about To be
paid. Secretary OF State Knox, before
departing to-day for Japan. signeL an
order directing the payment OF the s935 900
to the claimants. Until this note has had
time to reach the claimants, infoin ming
them that they may have their share
when the necessary legal fonnnliltes are
complied with, the State Department re-
fuses 10 make public the names or the
amounts.
The Alsop claim arose more than
forty years ago from a debt incurred by
a Brazilian to the firm Of Alison g. Co
OF Valparaiso. a chartered Chilian con-
Germ, but with American members. In
settlement OF the debt the Brazilian
made over to the firm certain claims
from Bolivia lying In territory which,
following the war of 1879, was ceded to
Chilli.
In 1909 Secretary Knox asked that the
claim be referred to The Hague. but
chill objected unless her government
were permitted to use the argument that
Alsop & Co. had been expressly exclud-
cd from the rights OF American citizens
by the eChilian-American claims tribunal
In 1900. the American government hav-
ing insisted on this exclusion
t1nally Secretary Knox issued an ultl-
matum demanding the reference of the
claim TO The Hague or the payment OF
slWO,Wo TO the United States. Later
however, Chill accepted an alternative
Plan by agreeing to refer the matter TO
King Edward VII as arbitrator. AS a re-
suit Of King Edwards death the claim
dered his decision q. July 10 OF last year
He awarded 1886. 900 to the Alsop firm In

When the din finally died away Colonel
Roosevelt stepped to the front Of the
stage and looked down at his audience.

said, that there was not Progressive in
