WILL NOT YIELD TO CHILE HOPES FOR ©PFACE, BUT READY FOR WAR. Government Will Not Consent to a Modification of the Treaty of 1881 in Favor of Its Old Enemy. | Spectal cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1595, by James Gor- don Bennett. BUENOS AYRES, Argentina, Sept. 15.—In order to meet any crisis in the dispute between Argentina and Chile the Government has ordered that preparations be made to mobilize an army of 50,000 men. The Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs, however, has sent a circular to the diplomatic representatives abroad declaring that the alarming rumors in relation to the boundary troubles are without foundation. Argentina does not refuse to arbitrate the general question, he declares, but will not con- sent to the course except in the manner stipulated by the treaties now in force. Chile, however, insists on eliminating the words “Cordillera de Los Andes” from the first article of the treaty of 1881. If this concession should be made the article would mention only the famous diverti aquarum and would make it ac- cord with Chilean pretensions. This Government, however, is resolutely op- posed to such modification. The attitude of the people is remark- able for its composure. There is no hostile manifestation of any kind against Chile. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to an interpellation in the Chamber of Deputfes, announced that he hopes for a pacific settiement of the trouble. He asked the chamber to maintain its reserve during the deli- cate negotiations. The Minister of War declared that the country was prepared for any emergency. INTERESTS THE COAST.

Albrecht was bound over to appear be- fore the Superior Court. His bonds were fixed at $2500, and in default of which he was given over to the custody of the Sheriff and conducted back to his cell In the County Jail. He still matirins he is not a bigamist.

STOCKTON, Sept. 15.—Dr. Ruggles, president of the State Board of Health, has returned from Sacramento, where he was summoned to look into the Capitol sanitary arrangements. He stated that he board suspected that the Capitol uflding was in very poor sanitary condi- tion, and that diseases which had proved fatal to five of the attaches were trace- able to that causc.

SANTA CLARA EXPERIMENT RESULTS ARE PLEASING TO THE OFFICIALS. Assistant Postmaster General Heath Finds the Cost No Greater Than That of the Fourth-Class Offices. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—The postal tionized if exneriments now being made by the Postoffice Department are suc- cessful. The -ural delivery recently established is to be extended over the entire county of Santa Clara, Califor- nia. Representative Loud, chairman of the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads, represents that coun- ty. Primarily the county was selected because it possesses all conditions which are held to be necessary for a’ successful test, but the department, moreover, deemed it wise to have the test under the immediate supervision of the man through whom the legis- lation for the establishment of a free rural delivery throughout the country must originate. First Assistant Postmaster General Heath has devoted 1auch time and at- tention to this subject, and believes the experiments so far made and those to be undertaken on a more comprehen- sive plan in Califormia will lead Con- gress to take favorable action on the subject. He is already able to show that in populous counties mail can be delivered and collected at each farm house at no greater expense than is now imposed in maintaining fourth- class postoffices and star routes in such counties. % ‘ General Heath says there are some counties in which rural free delivery can be operated at considerable saving to the Government over the present system. Superintendent Machen of the free delivery service leaves for California in a few days to direct the experiment there. Carriers will be prepared to transact a money order and registered letter business with farmers and rural residents heretofore inaccessible to such conveniences. JAPANESE ELECTION.

MANY REFORMS INTRODUCED POSTAL SYSTEM SOON TO BE INSTITUTED. Opening of a National University in Peking, With Branches in Other Cities, Has Been Sanc- tioned. Special Dispatch to The Call. PEKING, Sept. 15.—An edict has been published extending postal operations throughout the empire and replacing the present system of Government cou- riers. ‘ine frequent edicts introducing re- forms and cutting down expenditures prove that the Emperor's.advisers are bent upon & policy which can only be the result of a complete change of opinion. old European residents look upon the change as being too sweeping and ir- ritating to the official classes, but it is evident the Emperor has decided to abolish many abuses, and his efforts are welcomed by all the enlightened Chinese, who, however, counsel moder- ation. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Minister Conger informs the Department of State that the Emperor of China, by imperial decree, has sanctioned the opening of a national university at Pe- king, in connection with which schools are to be established in the provincial capitals, and educational institutions called the third class are to be opened in the department and district cities. Graduates of the schools of the third class may enter the intermediate col- leges and the university at Peking. It is believed that the curriculum adopted by the Japanese University will be fol- lowed. Another dispatch from Minister Con- ger would indicate that the Emperor of China has taken a long stride in ad- vance in civilization by encouraging the newspapers of his emnire to publish a truthful and full account of the daily events, and to be both bold and fearless in the discussion of current af- fairs. He has, by public proclamation, made the Chinese Daily Progress an official organ, and has declared that articles which appear in Chinese news- papers, though apparently displeasing to him, shall not on that account be suppressed. He has directed that important arti- cles of current events in the leading papers shall be marked and presented to him promptly. He assigns in his proclamation the reason for this that he desires to extend his knowledge of affairs, both Chinese and foreign. NO SERIOUS INJURIES BY THE TRAIN WRECK Road Clearec Below Penryn Yester- day, and Eastbound Overland No. 8 Proceeded. AUBURN, Sept. 15.—The railroad wreck below Penryn last night was clearedaway this morning. ‘The engines of the wrecked eastbound overland No. 3 were taken back to Sacramento, while new ones were attached and the train went on. Conductor McMaston, injured about the head, was relieved by “Shorty” Leonard of No. 4 westbound as-they passed at Penryn. The two runaway fruitcars that caused the wreck are still lying on the hillside with ice and fruit scattered everywhere. It is estimated that the runaways were going at the rate of seventy miles an hour, and had not the accident occurred just where it did, on a curve and steep grade, not a car would have been left on the track. No serfous injuries resulted. Engineer Newton and Conductor McMaston were badly bruised, and Express Messenger Willis' ankle was sprained. Mrs. Mary Allen of Auburn was the only passenger hurt at all. Engineer Newton had his arm broken in a wreck occurring about the same place two years ago. M'INTYRE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL TROUBLES Statement Telegraphed From Denver Which Naval Authorities Do Not Believe. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.—A Washington special to the Herald says: It was re- ported at the Navy Department to-day that there was a chance of Chaplain J. H. McIntyre of the Oregon escaping trial by court-martial. The department, in re- sponse to a telegram sent to his address in Denver, received a repl¥ intimatin; that he was suffering from mental trouble. The authorities do not believe this, and are going ahead with prepara- tions for his trial. e e DISBANDING OF THE SEVENTH Many Men Return to Los Angeles and Resume Their Occupations. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15.—It is appar- ent that the Seventh Regiment is now being quietly and gradually disbanded. ‘Within the last week or so many of the members of the regiment have arrived in this eity on furlough, and these fur- loughs amount to discharges. The re- turned soldiers have taken off their blue uniforms and are resuming their former occupations. Robert Burns, chief mu- siclan_of the regiment, has rejoined the Fire Department and taken his place in a theater orchestra. Corporal J. B. Scott has resumed the practice of law. — o RUSH FOR HOMEST&ADS. Four Hundred Entries on Overlap- ping Grants in Los Angeles.
