Guarantees Shall Be Given For Per formance of Conclusions Reached By The Arbitration Tribunal. Washington, D. C, . Special. Dis patches from Madrid received in official diplomatic quarters here make the first announcement that in the debates before the Latin-American congress, whose sessions have just been conclud ed, the principle of compulsory arbitra tion urged by the Peruvian delegate has been approved by almost unani mous vote, Ch'la alone holding out and protesting against the action taken. The decision not only favors compul sory arbitration i deputes in the Amer ican republics but also provides that guarantees shall be given for the faith ful performance of the conclusions reached by the arbitration tribunal. Aside from the immediate question involved in the decision of the congress is regarded in South American quar ters as s'gnificant in the alignment of the southern republics on the increas ing differences which have arisen of late, and which are threatening to bring about a general crisis in South American countries. Several events have occurred recently idieating a widespread movement. Peru hss been making desperate efforts to regain her provinces cf Tacna and Africa, which are a sort cf bonier hostage held for the last ten years by Chile. Bolivia is involved in the same controversy, as she has lost her s?accast to Chile and is now seeking to save a part of it. The latter question was brought to a direct issue recently by the presentation cf a demand from Chile, generally constru ed as an ultimatum, requiring Bolivia publicly to acknowledge by treaty the sovereignity of Cliile over the seacoac.t in question. About a month ago Chile adopted the compulsory military sys tem under which every male citizen reaching the age of 19 years must serve as a soldier. This has caused wide spread concern in South America and has led other countries to take step3 towards similar military equipments. Ecuador has declared its purpose of adopting a system like that of Chile, and Peru, which now has only 2,000 soldiers, has taken steps to have a gen eral enlistment in its national guard. But the chief concern has been ex prersetl in Argentina and Brazil, as it is the f eling in those countries that the powerful armcments cf Chile are not required again;t such enfeebled states as Peru. Boiivia. Ecuador, and the other northern republics, but will be used against Chile's more powerful neighbors in the south. Argentine and Chile are separated by a long boundary line, which is now in dispute. The boundary frequently hrs threatened an armed ronf!i"t. and each country ha' be?n steadily increasing its armament, lard and naval. It is estimated by one of the prominent observers in Wash ington that each country has spent about ?.".0.O0O,OCO on armament during the lst ten years. Brazil recently has been b-oneht into alignment by a cordial restoration of good fe2ling with Argentina. For a time they were op posed over a boundary contest, but by arbitration of the T'nired States the , award was maSe iri favor of Brazil and I Argentina has heart'ly rccepted this result and their presidents exchanged j visits. .The several movements have had the general effect of establishing a common i basis -between Bolivii. Peru," Argentina and Brazil. "While there is no sugges j tion thus far that these united repub j lies would use force against Chile, yet I It is appreciated that. the present situa j tion tray lead to serious results. The ) Chile n army is dir;cted by able Ger ! man "'ncers, the commander being j Gen. oerner, a German officer who was '. aced at the head of the armv J about ten years ago.

Charlotte, Special. Two old ladies Violet J. Colley, aged 7a, and her neice Jane Cathcart,, who lived a!one in a house cn a main thoroughfare, five mile from Charlotte, -were "last week murdered, robbed and their bodies burned. The old ladies were generally reported to be wealthy. It is known that they had a good deal of money. They lived a retired life for years and seldom ventured away from hon.e, not even to the city except when business compelled a visit. The house which they occupied stood within 150 feet of the roadside. Near it w.s a small building which they used as a kitchen, and in which they kept their stores. People passing along the road noticed that the email house had been burned. There wes no sign of life about the place, and ;.n in vestigation- showed that the dwelling had en ransacked from top to bot tom, ma leading mai a most uu.ousy search had been made for the mosey which the old ladies were supposed to have kept in the ho ase. Bureaus, cab inets and desks had baen opened and their contents strewn about. Every nook and corner of the dwelling bore evidences cf having been searched. The general surroundings and the ab sence of the old couple pointed all too plainly to a c;se of murder, robbery, and arson. . It was no surprise when a search of the ashes of the small ouild- ing revealed two burned stumps, the bodies of Miss Colley and her nrfee. The supposition is that the old la dies were attacked while they were at supper, after which their residenc? was sacked and the house in which their bodies lay was fired. For years past they were known to havejbeen accumu lating money, and nsd probably tll,- 200 saved up. There is absolutely no clew to the perpetrators of the d:el. The neighborhood people are greatly stirred up, and both city and county ofEcials are using every effort to get a trace of the murderers. Baptist State Convention. Raleigh. Special The Baptist State Convention, which meets here Decem ber 5th, will be the seventieth annual one. It met here last in 1892. Kev. Dr. R. H. Marsh, of Oxford, will pre side. The number of church members within tiis convention i9 167,000. an increase of 7,000 over last year. There are 140,000 negro Baptists in the State.

Tuey include Wake ForeEt College for young men, the Baptist Female University at Ral-eis-h Oxford Female Seminary, Cho- t,k Baptist Female Institute and 4 acadeinies. soma of the latter having as nianv as 300 students.

It is a record not yet beaten by any naval vessel, and the Oregon is still queen tt all navies. It has been decided by the French government that from now on their ar my omcers and under otficir shall he free to marry the woman of their choice, though dowerless. Heretofore this was strictly forbidden. An offi cer's bride was forced to show that she possessed a certain income. The amount exacted with the wife for an officer was an income of 1,000 pounds, and for an under officer an income of 200 pounds. The law has he?n changed as the suite of a sad romance the case an officer who loved a school girl and was forbidden to marry her. The pub lic took up the matter and at present French ofllcers are free to .marry their sweethearts. 1900. NEWSY CLEANINGS. The attempt to form a carbide syn dicate at Berlin has miscarried.

The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health. When Scott's Errlulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cures; when it don't, it don't cure. It never does harm. The genuine has this picture on it, take no other. If you have not tried it, send for free sample, its agreeable taste will surprise you.
