REPUBLICAN ELEMENTS
ARE GETTING TOGE Their
Result of Chairman Hayes
Visiting Washington;
Compromise Is
Considered.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s-Wiu II
Hayes. republican national chairman
has left Washington after numerous
conferences with republican leaders
In the house and senate. leaving the
threatened fights over control In the
two houses in a clarified but unsolved
status. The net result Of his trip has
been to establish the basis for an un-
Outstanding between the conflicting
elements in the two houses. and it is
the understanding that the leaders VIII
now proceed to adjust their own differ
ences among themselves without fur
Their resort to the Interference Of
peacemakers.
While the house problem Is still In
rather difficult way because of the
lack Of a decision Of Representative
Mann as to whether he will run for
speaker. the Impression was strongly
given Mr.. Hayes that the pressure
which has been brought to bear on
Mann not to be a candidate probably
viii be successful and no will announce
soon shat on orders Of his physician
he VIII not be candidate.
A dozen or so compromise proposals
in the senate situation have been pass
cd back and forth IN an effort to ad-
Just matters, and while some of these
proposals have been IN part acceptable
to the so-ealled Independents some OF
them have not been acceptable and
have been rejected. but the key to
the situation is that all compromises.
whether acceptable or not, have in
Guided Penrose as chairman OF finance
Another development Of interest in
the senate scrap is that Senator Bo-
rah Of Idaho. never sent his famous
letter to Chairman Hayes protesting
against the Penrose selection. He
wrote the letter and said it was ready
to mail, but II is learned now definite
IN that he had not mailed the letter
up to yesterday. VIXEN he conversed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Hos-
tilities between Peru and Chile ap-
peared today to be possibility.
Peru has withdrawn her con
sular agents from Chile as a result
of popular demonstrations result
ing from a revival of the dispute
over the provinces of Tacna and
africa which Chile took from Peru
in 1883. As Peru has no minister
in Chile withdrawal of her consuls
constitutes a break in diplomatic
relations.
Offer of mediation py the United
States or one Of the South American ma
tions is believed probable while 1t is
possible that the dispute may be carried
to the great peace conference. When
Peru ceded Tacna and africa to Chile at
the end of four years war in which
Peru and Bolivia were completely de-
feated by Chile. a plebescite was to be
held at the end of ten years to decide
the ultimate disposition of the provinces.
This was never held and the two prov
inces have been the "Alsace- Lorraine"
of South American politics ever since.
Chile vies with Argentina and Brazil
in power and influence in South Ameri-
ca. The regular army is 10000 but II
has national militia in which men be-
tween IS and As are liable to service.
The population is 3.s41,47 while Peru's
population is 4.620.201. Peru has .
standing army Of $500 with universal
compulsory military service.
