LASS|TER HAS HOPE
Of ACCORD IN AFRICA
Believes There Is a Chance
of Settling Differences by
Direct Negotiations.

By the Associated Press.
PANAMA., June 29.--Maj. Gen. Will
liam Lassiter, who succeeded Gen.
Pershing as head Of the Tacna-Arica
Plebiscitary Commission, believes
there is still a chance Of composing
the differences between Chile and Peru
by direct negotiations. The general
returned from africa yesterday.
Il went to africa" he said, with
the earnest hope of assisting in carry
ing out a plebiscite which would solve
the Tacna-Arica problem and thus
heal the differences which have 50
long existed between Chile and Peru.
1t would have been matter of pride
for me to be associated with such a
solution and to have contributed some
thing toward it.
But after coming in close contact
with the conditions existing in Tacna
and africa, I found those conditions
wholly incompatible with carrying
out a plebiScite that l could certify
to be expressive of the will of the
people or that, indeed. would accom-
plish anything toward a solution OF
the problem. AS / could find no way
to alter or improve those conditions,
and as cOnSummation of farclcal
plebiscite was out Of the question, it
finally became necessary to terminate
the plebiscitary proceedings.
Naturally, it is a matter for deep
regret that our long and patient ef-
fort should not have produced the i'm
mediate results so urgently desired
by tho friends of Chile and Peru. But
no friend OF the two countries can
fail to believe that a settlement by
negotiation is quite within the bounds
of reasonable possibility or can fail
to hope that such a solution will be
earnestly sought

on Final Terms.

The final terms on which the Gov
crnment would acquire the remaining
land necessary to extend the Capitol

agreed to at a meeting at 2 o'clock
this afternoon between the Plaza
Commission and officials of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad in the office

road officials this morning, at which
:ime definite proposition was sub
mitted in writing by the railroad.
" hen the meeting adjourned at noon,
none of the papers had been signed,
but indications were that an agree
ment would be reached when the con-
ference is resumed this afternoon.
1t is understood that the proposal
made today does not differ in any
important degree from the tentative
offer made several weeks ago by the
railroad to accept the old price fixed
n number of years ago. plus interest
1T 6 per cent, and less the amount
the Government has paid the railroad
as rental on the property since the
Government hotels were erected.
This basis of settlement works out
to a figure slightly above 100000.
but there is an unexpected balance
of appropriation made for this pur-
pose of approximately $1.750,000
An estimate for the remaining sum
has been inserted already in the
deficiency appropriation bill in the
House. so that if the final agreement
is reached today or tomorrow, all in
iications are that the necessary funds
will be provided before Congress ad-
iourns.

mission are Vice President Dawes.

DOOM OF FESSB|LL
F0RESEEN AS FOES
GATHER STRENGTH
Democrats, Almost United
Against 1t, Joined by More
Republicans.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The tide set more strongly against
the Fess farm relief bill in the Senate
this afternoon. 1t appeared almost
certain that this measure, which has
come to be recognized as the admins
tration bill. would be defeated and
probably by a larger vote than its
opponents had behaved possible.
The Democrats were said to be lined
up pretty solidly against the bill, and
it was estimated that not more than
five, and possibly fewer, would be
found voting for it.
On the Republican side of the cham.
Der it became known that Senator
Fernald Of Maine, Senator Reed of
Pennsylvania, Senator Moses of Ne y
Hampshire and Senator Bingham of
Connecticut probably would vote
against the measure. They are not
included among those who supported
the McNary-Haugen bill. Senator
Fernald said definitely that he would
oppose the bill, that he believed it
was unsound.
Every effort is being made to OBJ
tain a vote on the FeSS bill before
adjournment today. If vote is not
obtained it is possible that a motion
will be made to take up some other
bill, either the radio bill or the rivers
and harbors bill.
Meeting an hour earlier than usual
the Senate almost Immediately plunged
into consideration of the farm bill.
Briefly, this was the parliamentary
situation: A House bill creating a divi-
sion of cooperative marketing in the
Department of Agriculture was the
unfinished business of the Senate.
The Senate committee amendment to
this bill. the McNary-Haugen bill in
modified form. had been voted down
last week. An amendment offered by
Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin had
been withdrawn. Senator FeSs of
Ohio Immediately today offered his
bill. which included the provisions of
the House bill creating division of
cooperative marketing. as an amend
ment to the pending bill, and in the
nature of a substitute for that bill.
Senator F'ess explained that he took
this course so as to make it possible,
should the Fess bill be adopted by
the Senate. to move in the House to
concur in the Senate amendment, and
thus dispose quickly of the entire mat
ter in the other house.
After the Fess bill had been form
