THE CHILEAN DISPUTE
0. E Persinger Explains tho Origin
and Significance in a Convo
cation Address -Story
of tho Trouble.
The causo and nature of the pres
ent dlsputo between Chilo and Peru
formed the topic of a discussion by
CE. Persinger at t3nvocation yester
day. Mr. Persinger explained by raeanB
of a map the territorial relations be
tween the two countries, over which
the controversy arose. Ho said the
trouble was one of long standing and
arose originally over a mutual agree
ment amouna Chilo. Peru and Bolivia
that their boundaries shouldadhere
to the old colonial limits. A small
dispute arose over an area claimed by
each which was enhanced In 1842 by
valuable discoveries of mineral
wealth. In 1842 tho Spanish forced a
compromise on tho conditions that
tho disputed area should bo under the
joint Jurisdiction of all three coun
tries and under no one or them ex
clusively. Constant iirlfcation ensued
which came near resulting in war in
1874 but a treaty wasTnade giving a
largo area to Peru and Bolivia and to
Chile, important commercial privi
leces. Valuablo nitrate discoveries
caused tho treaty to be disregarded
and aftor some fighting it was de
cided to leave tho matter to a vote to
bo taken in 1894. This Chile ignored
and a conference lias ilnally been
called in which Chile objects to the
consideration of past questions.
Mr. Persinger said tho indications
are now that tho disputed territory
will become Peruvian provinces.

"Remember A little
water was running down
row in my fields during
last snmmor whllo othei
suffering very badly, and
stream of
every corn
tho drouth
fields were
dryhiC up.
Do you realizo the difference? In
other words Mv fields produced a
fine crop of fully developed seed corn.
The other fields produced mostly
nubs and some not that. If you
wish to raise a full crop this year,
you cannot do it by planting drouth
stricken seed."
C. D. Charles a formor engineering
studont who was provonted from re
gistering last fall on account of sluk
ncss, is at presont drafting for a local
architect. Ho will probably bo in

The managers of the foot-ball and

reported that definite arrangements
had been made with Northwestern
University, and that this gamo would
bo played here on Thanksgiving Day.
Tho contracts for games witli Kans
as, Wisconsin and the Iowa teams
were being held off until tho tlmo'of
the larger games could be definitely
settled. From present Indications it
is very probable that the Minnesota
gamo will be played at Minneapolis
on November 1st. As yet nothing
definite has been settled with Wlscon
oin, though It Is very probable that
this game will bo played in Milwau
kee on October 18. Playing Minne
sota on Novemboi 1, It would bo un
wlso to schedule a largo gamo at a.
date less than two weeks from this
one.
Manager Morrell of the basket-ball
team then reported that he had maoo
a contract with Minnesota for a game
on February 16th and one with Sioux
City, la., for February 14th. The
board authorized him to complete his
schedule for games on this trip.
The matter of hiring a foot-ball
coach was taken up and after an ani
mated dicsusslon it was decided to
retain W.C. Booth at a salary of.$2,000
with a further provision that should
Wisconsin make an offer of $2,500 to
him boforo February 1, this would
be duplicated by tho Athletic Board.
The borao voted to buy the foot
ball caps for tho team. While it did
not feel itself under obligations to
buy them Jt was deemed best to do
so being that. they were already here,.
A claim for fifty dollars by the
State Journal company for advertis
ing athletics during the year was d-Is-enssea
at some length, but no definite
action was taken. A football com
mittee was appointed to make a con
tract with this paper for future years.

games of tho year, and a further al
lowance of not to expeed ten compli
mentary tickets.
