Meanwhile the people of Argentina be gan to fear that the Chileans would not accept the decision about th"e Chilo-Ar gentlna frontier limit question, which had been submitted to the arbitration c' Queen Victoria, and as if to support an* justify their fears it is reported that the Chilean Government has trespassed upon the absolute rights of the arbitrator in Imposing the obligation of limiting the award to such and such points. No wonder, then, that amid thla mess of conflicts the governments axe making preparations for war. While Chile has sent to Germany, her favorite general, Korner, to buy guns and cannons. Peru The question of the final ownership of Tacna' and Arica has thus remained un settled and Chile still occupies the prov inces, with the deliberate intention.accord ing to many Chilean papers and political speakers, of keeping them forever. Still, many Chileans admit that the "Chilean lzation" of the two provinces has pro duced no effect and that they are as strongly attached to their mother country as on the day when they were taken from her. and that the two provinces are eager ly waiting for the day when they will be freed from Chilean domination. Peru makes an appeal to arbitration in order to settle peacefully the question of. the final ow/iership of these provinces. And here comes the point where the United States and the Argentine Republic are dragged into the dispute. The United States Government, having invited all the Spanish-American coun tries to participate In the- second pan- American congress to be held at Mexico in October, 1&01, must have been surprised to receive from the Chilean Oovernment a conditional acceptance. Chile, being aware that the congress was to proclaim arbitration aa the only method to settle International differences on this conti nent, answered that' it would send repre sentatives to the congress only., on con dition that arbitration should apply ex clusively to future disputes. The accept ance of such a 'condition, it is pointed out, would leave Chile free to act as she pleased with reference to the annexation of Tacna and Arica. VALPARAISO, Chile, Aug. 1.— A three- Sided conflict is in prospect on account of the Tacna-Arlca question, which has re mained In abeyance since the treaty of Ancon, which terminated' In 1SS4, the vic torious war ot Chile against Peru and Bolivia. It was agreed then that the vic tor was to occupy the Peruvian provinces of Tacna and Arica for ten years, after which a plebescitum was to declare whether those provinces wanted to be in corporated with Chile or returned to Peru. The date passed off, however, without any plebescitum being taken. The Chileans put It oft under this or that pretext^ be cause, it is claimed, they wanted to col onize the provinces with their own people and thus secure a majority in their favor at the holding ot the plebescitum. It la asserted that they sent their soldiers and all kinds of people from the slums o.f the Chilean seaports. But Peru held that only legitimate natives of the two provinces should be entitled to vote at the ple bescitum and that the method of voting and the qualifications of the voters should be determined by a. special, protocol, as provided for in the Ancon treaty. Chile at last consented to this in 1S9S, at a time when - she anticipated a war with the Argentine Republic and feared Peru might side with the latter. The Bil linghurst-La Torro protocol was then signed at Santiago and approved by the Chilean Senate. But Chile peacefully ar ranged her dispute with Argentina, and her Chamber of Deputies did not even discuss the question of the protocol, which, being approved only by the Senate, remained a dead letter.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.— A World cable from Home says: Gre;it uneasiness is felt in Italian policy circles owing to recent alarmist reports from New York.

J. x The Xaples policy had been notified from New York that twenty dangerous anarchists would land at Naples on August 25 or -6, but in spite cf most vig orous surveillance no arrests have yet been effected. It appears that anarchists coming over to Europe have adopted a complete sys tem of transformation of passports, with documents to match, so that the police are nonplused. Victor Emmanuel is perfectly aware ol the dangers besetting him, but he bravely defies his foes and says that a king is not worthy of his crown who cannot risk his life to defend it.

BERLIN, Sept. 8.— The numerous cable grams arriving seriatim,, putting to Ger many compromise propositions in answer to the Russo-American proposals, appear baseless. The correspondent of the As sociated Press learns authoritatively that Germany, replying to the advice to with draw her troops from Peking, has Bent Russia detailed reasons why this seems ir.o;)j»ortune and calculated to prolong in mead of thorteu the war. The arguments cued in detail in support of this conten tion were those already given to the As sociated Press by a Foreign Office official recently, and appear Identical with the arguments advocated by several other jxjwert. in Diplomatic Sense Rather Than From Military Standpoint. Situation in China Continues Difficult Declares the Withdrawal of Troops From Peking Would Prolong War. GERMANY HAS GIVEN RUSSIA MANY SEASONS Other Influences. Another move which would impel France to follow Russia if the latter with draws her troops is the fact that the French forces would thereby avoid re maining under the command of Fieldj Marshal Count von Waldersee. This feel ing against French soldiers taking orders from a German commander, while not openly discussed, is nevertheless very widely nourished among the people here. An eye-opener as to the lacK of accord among the various military command era in China is furnished by the report of Captain Marolles, who commanded the French contingent UP to the time of the capture of Tientsin. Captain Marolles re lates each day's events in the form of a diary, in which appear statements which a Paris journal describes as tantamount to a masked Indictment of the' Russian General Stezel, who. with the obstinacy of a soldier executing an order, it says, wished to win or even to be beaten" alone. The result of this ambition was the loss of hundreds of lives. Marolles, under date of June 27, ¦writes: "Russians attacked the east arsenal at Tientsin without notifying any one, but eventually the Germans and then tho English contingent had to co-operate, which was not agreeable to them. It is apparent that there is no accord among the military chiefs." Two days later Marolles writes: "The Russians made a reconnoissance. on the left bank, without notifying any one, when a fusillade began and the town suf fered an hour's bombardment." After recounting other Instances of the isolated actions of the Russians Captain Marolles says that Juno 30 General Stezel advised him that he would withdraw the next day the outpost at the railroad de pot, which was Indispensable to the French concession. Lack of Accord. The next entry is dated July 4, and reads: "The Russians evacuated the rail road depot at 7:50 this morning. As the post is absolutely Indispensable to protect the French concession, whose evacuation would compel the evacuation of the Eng lish concession, a force of Japanese, Fronch and English oe»eunied it." Marolles' report thus shows that there was no accord, even between the French and Russians. The letter of Admiral Seymour to the French commander eulogizing the splen did conduct of the French of his Peking relief force has created a. most pleasant Impression here and has proved of much greater value In Improving the Anglo- French relations than he could possibly have anticipated. It rekindled friendly sentiments, which bore their first fruit this week on the occasion of the visit of BOO representatives of the Britsh Cham ber of Commerce to Paris. The warmth of their reception was noteworthy. There were a number of prominent men among the delegates and at a banquet given by the British Chamber of Commerce at Paris, at which M. Millerand. Minister of Commerce, was the guest of honor, an Anglo-French demonstration took place, M. Millerand proposing the Queen's health and the diners responding by singing tfie "Marseillaise." The press comments are most sympathetic. What was known as the Muscat Inci dent between France and England, aris ing from the French claim, which the British disputed, to a coaliner station on the coast* of Muscat, Arabia, Is now finally settled; France leaving made good her claim, and a telegram from Muscat, received on Friday afternoon, announced that the first shipment had been landed at the French concession. and labor upon the European- commund ers. This would necessitate the proper policing of Pelting, with its millions of in habitants, all of whom are now filled with hatred for the "foreign devils," the ar rangement of s-anitary and -fire precau tions and an endless list of other muni cipal details. This would be a well nigh invpossible task, in view of the diverse nationalities ane 1 languages of the army of occupation. The provisioning and keep ing open of communication with the sea coast for a large force in Peking during the winter, when the country is snow cov ered and frozen, also presents a problem of extreme difficulty. . Would Like to Hold Them at tha Capital of the Flowery Kingdom but Is Influenced by Russia. » PARIS, Sept. S.— France is in a dilemma. Russia's proposition io withdraw from Peking has resolved Itself into a problem for her which French statesmen are now tackling very gingerly. The complete withdrawal from Peking, after careful consideration, is now deemed to be alto gether In line with France's views, and as the most effective method of dealing with the Kmpress Dowager and her clique of advisers. France is now forced ty choose between the course she would rather adopt and the policy dictated to her by the Russian alliance and French statecraft has been devoted for the oast week in an enfleavor to splice these two conflicting policies into a com promise which will not Jeopardize her friendship with Russia and at the same time wfll not prejudice her own position in China. The suggestion, therefore, that while the bulk of troops be with drawn from Peking a small international force be still retained in the city comes as a peculiarly acceptable idea to France. Russia and Germany appear to be the only serious stumbling blocks in the way of a general acceptance of this compro mise, the first named desiring the totai withdrawal of- the allied forces and the latter wishing a continued occupation. Should the prpposition fall through and Russia and America withdraw all their troops France would undoubtedly follow suit. Too Great a Shock. It would be too rutie a shock to the Russo-Frcnch alliance for France to abandon her ally and remain in Peking, with aa her associat.es her hereditary enemies, England and Germany. The French Government appreciates the great element of wisdom in the Muscovite pro posal, recognizing that a continuance of ihe 'present form of occupation would pre vent early and direct negotiations with the Empress Dowager, who fears to re turn to the capital, and that, moreover, the administration of the affairs of the city would. throw immense responsibility Knows Not What Action to Take Relative to Troops in Peking. FRANCE ON THE HORNS OF VERY GRAVE DILEMMA "The British manufacturer has awak ened from his lethargy and has grasped that American ingenuity which was pro ducing scores of useful novelties scarcely known here and selling them under the eyes of the local manufacturers in the same line. This ground is being some what recovered." American competitors on the price of sev eral lines of goods. In conclusion the Times remarks: (5 reat Britain's alleged pusillanimity and lack of initiative, however, furnished another opportunity to grumble, and now practically the whole nation is "on the growl." The newspapers contain col umns of editorials and letters vlndlca tlvely attacking the collective Cabinet and the individual departments of the Government for their conduct of the war, for the affairs of the railroad companies and of the church, to say nothing of minor eau*e for disputation. The fact is the country Is Buffering- from an overplus of Intoxicants, both military and political, and has now reached what Augustine Bir rille, member of Parliament, has aptly termed the "sodawater" stage. The trades unionists concluded their annual congress at Huddfrfifleld to-day. A million and a quarter ot skilled work men were represented In the deliberations, which have attracted more Interest than usual because of the sensitive state of the public feelinp caused by the recent strikes and rumors of strikes. President Pickles' addre*?. dealing with the pr-lentinc and philosophical phases of industrialism, was purely socialistic. The approval of collectivism by the congress has bf>en rather a shock to the editorial writers. A resolution condemning the South African war and the annexation of the two republics "at the dictates of cos mopolitan capitalists." which was al«=o adopted. Is regarded as significant In re lation to the coming general election. : The widespread growth of American commercial competition with Great Brit ain was never more apparent than at present and never were the friends of British home industries more alive to the dangers that are threatening their commercial welfare. Papers in every por tion of the United Kingdom publish daiiy warninps against the insidious foes and there are Klgns that the British manufac turers and workmen are awakening to the importance of attending more closely to the requirements of customers. The London Times, which 'ias recently devot rd much space to carefully prepared arti cles on American industrial methods ani their advantages over the policy followed hv British firms, prints to-day a two column review of American competition in small article* of hardware. In which It congratulates the home manufacturers In having at last succeeded in beating their Washington, it is now conceded, is for the moment the center of diplomatic ac tivity, and news lrom there is eagerly .-scanned, and the latest exposition of the policy of the United States In the matter is welcomed as likely to be acceptable and as finally disposing of the unfounded sus picion that the Russian scheme was promulgated with the approval of the United States administration. All Eyes Toward Washington. It Is a curious fact that almost every foreign Minister of the powers concerned is absent lrom his post during this acute period of one of the niost important dip lomatic decisions of recent >ears. Most ot the embassies, too, have been In the hands of charges a'ailaires, and now United States £lmba*sador Choate lias gone to Switzerland tor the long holiday. Meanwhile, with the exception of the statement already cabled that the For eign Otlice sides with the powers, discoun tenancing the immediate evacuation of Peking, there la a. lack of reliable Infor mation as to how the dilemma of PeKing wiil bo solved. Most • statements are started merely with the object of Indirect ly eliciting facts. There Is no doubt that almoM any fairly palatable prescription will be swallowed by the British Cabinet, and it is learned from a well-informed quarter that as soon as the Chinese Gov ernment appoints tolerable Uommlssion esr with s-erious Instructions they will find (Jreat Britain ready to respond and aid In utilizing what William K.

By the time Lord Salis bury arrives the situation will probably have brightened, reports will have t>een received from the Peking Ministers and .->uch views will have been communicated to the powers.
