ARBITRATE MEXICAN MATTERS? Suggestion Mude That Arbitration Would/Settle Many Questions. Washington, June 8.-A proposal to Con. Carranza that the United States and the Mexican de facto gov ernment submit the whole'subject of their relations to an international commission is being seriously consid ered hy tho administration. Such a proposal, if it ls made, will serve as a reply to the Mexican note demanding withdrawal of the Ameri can troops and may contemplate ad justment of many unsettled differ ences that for years have embarrass ed the relation of the two nations. Settlement by a commission ls pro vided for expressly by the treaty of 184 8, which provides further that "should such a course be proposed by either party, it shall be acceded to by the other unless deemed as al together Incompatible with tho na ture of the difference or the circum stances of the case." President Wilson and Gen. Carran za would appoint an equal number of commissioners under the plan, and the meeting probably would be held somewhere outside tho territory of both countries. There was no Indi cation last night that the President, with whom rests decision as to whe ther the proposal shall he made, had yet reached a decision, or that the rejily would go forward within tho next few days. In view of tho fact that the Mexi can note demands withdrawal of the troops as evidence of good faith, it is possible that this question would have to be considered, although prior to tho meetings of tho commis sion no step toward withdrawal prob ably would be taken. In addition to military questions there are economic considerations, now greatly compli cated by the 'European war. Coming down from bygone years are unsettled questions as to certain portions of the international bound ary. Out of the Vera Cruz incident arose new problems which must be cleared up sooner or later, including disposition of the customs revenues collected by Gen. Funston, amount ing to more than $1,000,000, and now deposited in this country. There aro also claims for property damage at Vera Cruz, long pigeon-holed in the Navy Department. Most far-reaching of all, however, is the question of Indemnification for American lives lost and American property destroyed or damaged dur ing the years of revolution in Mex ico. No attempt ever has been made to set an estimate upon the amount involved in these claims; but all are recorded at the Stato Department, awaiting restoration of order and peace in 'Mexico for a day of settle ment. While the commission suggestion may not propose to go into a broad discussion of all those matters, it seems likely that each will have its bearing upon the deliberations. For this reason lt ls thought tho mem bership of tito American commission would be so chosen that the military, commercial and financial interests of tho nation would all be represented. Out of such a deliberation, which it is believed Gen. Carranza would welcome, officials believe there might come so definite an understanding as to the purposes of the Washington government that lt would have its effect not only In Mexico, but also in all Latin-American countries, and make toward a furtherance of tho neighborly relations between the na tions of the Western Hemisphere.

Tlie following story relative to the tinio when Gen. M. C. Butler came to Washington as Senator is carried lu the Post and ls decidedly interesting: "When tho late Gen. M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, came to Washing ton as United States Senator in the seventies the passions born of tho Civil War were still considerably in evidence around the national capi tal," said J. B. Ezell, of South Caro lina. "The men higher up-men of Gen. Butler's calibre-had, indeed, made up their minds to let bygones be by gones, but among the rank and hie, both North and South, considerable amount of rancor and prejudice still lingered. As a reward for faithful personal service the Senator brought along with him from his homo coun ty a most bitter partisan and unre constructed Rebel by the name of Sam Fields. Through the Senator's iniluencc a place was secured for his trusty lieutenant among the em ployees of the Senate. A few days rolled by and the protege sought out the Senator and the following dia logue ensued: " 'Gen. Butler, I am greatly obliged to you for bringing me up here to Washington and giving nie a govern ment position, but I reckon as how I'll bid you good-bye and go back to old ridgefield county.' " 'Why, w ha t'a the matter, Sam?' replied tho general. 'Is your work too hard?' 'No, sir; that ain't it. I wouldn't mind lt If it was twice as hard. As a matter of fact, general, about all I have to do is to raise the flag every morning over the Senate building, j and to toll you the truth, I am sick and tired of hoisting that doggone Yankee ,flag every morning of my j life.' " 'Well, Sam,' quoth the Senator, 'supposing you do raise a Yankee flag every morning, don't you haul it down every night? It looks to me as though that ought to even up for your morning performance.' "Sam swore by the bones of An drew Jackson that he had not bought of it In that light before. The matter when thus presented bore an entirely new aspect, and history records that he nevermore quarreled with his job." Should Sloan's Liniment Go Along ? Of course lt should!
