A Newspaper Report Lead to the Action
A Strange rire Appointed
State Treasurer.
Washington, Dec. 29. It is believed
that ' the court of arbitrators in the
Behring sea case will be announced
soon. Oar government will select
France, and it is believed that England
will select Italy, . These powers will se
lect a third. As the sealing season will
not open until June, there is no great
hurry. A prominent member of the for
eign affairs committee of the senate,
who has been consulted in every stage of
the Behring sea case, said this morning ;
It is not to be expected that the de
cision made by the commission would
be mutually satisfactory to both the
United States and England. It is only
a question of time, said the senator,
until we will be compelled to go to war
with England to settle the the question
of our northern boundary. We are not
ready for war now with a great power,
but we will have to face one sooner or
later, and we have no time to lose in
establishing a good navy and system of
coast defenses. Of coufse we could
whip England on land. Congress, I be
lieve, will appreciate our position
towards England and will see the neces
sity of making liberal appropriation for
the immediate improvements of our
navy. . - ,

Don't Think They ' Will Arbitrate.
Washington, Dec. 29. Around the
state , department little 'confidence is
pnt in the report that Chili will ask to
have the controversy settled by arbitra
tion. At least, that is not a probability
of the near future. Before such a step
would be reached in the progress of ne
gotiations between two nations, thor
oughly committed to arbitration, a long
way ' must be traversed, and Chili's
record is not such as to warrant the bas
ing of lively hopes thereon. In the in
ternational American conference, it will
be remembered, Chili's delegates voted
against the proposed agreement to settle
troubles by arbitration, and that coub
try has taken no steps to place herself
in line with other American nations on
this subject. It is the '.impression
among officials that Chili will either
apologize or fight, and it is also true
that for some indefinable reason a peace
wave seems to have swept over the state
and navy departments today and the
feeling that a bloodless solution of this
situation will be found is growing. At
the same time, however, the authorities
are relaxing none of their efforts to be
fully prepared for any emergency that
might appear. '
Vanied ly a Newspaper. Report..
Stockton,' Cal., Dec. 29. Sheriff Cun
ningham returned this afternoon from
New Hope, ' where he investigated the)
robbery of an old man named Vincent

Petef' are very wealthy, owning large
tracts of land in Sacramento county. It
was 'recently printed in a Sacramento
Eiper that Glenn and his brother had
rge sums of money - buried, being
afraid of banks, and this is believed to
have prompted the robbers. He says
one is tall and the . other a short man.
They struck him several times, but ha
was not hurt. All they secured was $80.
A Strange Fire.
