test was sent to the Trunk Line Associ
ation declaring that the distribution of
emigrant buaines wa mails a matter of
agreement between the two association,

celing the agreement, without confer
ence and apparently without cause, ha
caused much aurprlse to Western line.
It le asked that all action lie suspended
immediately and until a conference of
the asN-iali'n can lie held in New
York. The Western linee say, if audi
conference is to he held, Ihey prefer It
should be held eitiier the Kith or 17th.
The protest end with the declaration
that It ia the In-lit-f of the Western linea
that the trunk linee will not push Ihe
matter ao far that the Western line
w ill lie forred lo lake independent ac
tion, which mean that if the trunk linea
persist in their present course the West
ern line will find it necessary to estab
lish ticket otiice of their own through
the Fast lo look after their interest.
The trunk hue have made a demand
npon tlie Western linea that they with
draw all their order from the trunk line
territory. They declare that the invasion
of Ihe Fastern territory by the Wetern
line I without reason or excuse, ami i
resulting in much loss of revenue to the
trunk line. There is doubt aalo whether
the association will pay any attention to
the demand for the reason that the mat
ter ia scarcely in the jurisdiction of the
association, and the line are free lo act
a they see lit in the matter. They first
put all their order in the territory of

thought that the end might come in a

were no last passing word spoken, for
the end came unheralded and sudden.
Dr. Holme and hi distinguished son,
Judge Holme, were in the midst ol a
conversation in the poet's rhnmher Sun
day afternoon just preceding the former'
death, and to neither, certainly not to
the Judge, wa there any evidence that
the end waa so near. The conversation
waa such as waa often held between the
two men. The dying pia-t, for he wa
even then, it seems, passing awav, wa
sitting in a chair with hi head bowed

became irregular, and it almost ceased
altogether.

the park is on the increase. The report

he i expected to dispose of the arbitra
tion question before taking np domestic
allaire. It i understood that he ha
made the arbitration hi special stndy
during working hour at Buzzard' Bay
thia tumuier. It i a very complicated
case, the brief of Baron Bio Branco
tilling several large volumes, while the
maps, old treaties, etc., and the brief of
Dr. Zal-allos, the Argentine Minister,
make a fair eized-lihrary. Mr. Cleve
land haa not turned tint mas of docu
ment! over to the Slate iH-partment,
but haa undertaken personally to go
through it and unravel the dispute. It
it a aell-lmpoMil task which the rresl
lent due out of courtesy to the South'
ern Kcpuhlics, ami in tlie extent of in
tcresta involved and legal complication
it i a large a any case tending in the
United State Supreme Court,
Mr. Cleveland decision will settle
whether the eastern boundary of Fast

in mail or ia extended by a wedge-
haped projection almost to the Atlantic
const, if Argentine gain tin strip, It
will have a considerable effect on South
ern Brazil, aa it will almost sever the
great Stale of Kio Grande do Sul from
Uniier Brazil, the remaining connection
being a very narrow isthmus compared
with the general width ol liraztl. Un
the other hand, it will give Argentine a
narrow arm of land stretching from the
north to within forty league of the At
lantic. The forthcoming decision i
awaited with anxiety bv the Southerr
envoy, as it mean much to the strat
egic Itrength of the two prominent
South American countries. .Moreover,
the disputed territory l Itself very val
liable (or ita mineral and agricultural re
sources. It embrace ll,H.;z square

Mr. Cleveland' arbitration i the re
sult of the treaty made when IViin Pedro

since then to make the mrveya and
present the case, and Mr. Cleveland's
decision will close the long controversy.
He is obliged under the treaty to give all
