Geneva, Sept. sth.—The air was charged with electricity when the dele- gates to the league assembly gathered this morning. Ihe storm centred round the Chilean delegation, a number of the leaders engaging in an earnest discussion with Augustin Edwards, head of the delegation regarding the Tacnaarica question. It had been reported on good authority that the Chileans would: leave the assembly, if this question was placed on the agenda, as requested by Bolivia for revision of the treaty of 1904. The report was presented despite the refusal of the delegation to confirm it until Senor Edwards gave out a flat denial. The assembly nevertheless remsined agitated and conferences continued on the floor until President Von Karnebeek ' called the assembly to order half an hour later. "'~ proposed, that, instead of discussing the agenda, which “included the sub- ject of Tacnaarica, the assembly coin- pleted its organization. This occupied all the morning and afternoon ses- gions. Efforts at conciliation in the Chilean-Bolivian conflict were continued throughout the day by Lord Robert Cecil, who represents South Africa, and others, but without success. The un- easiness caused by this incident increas- ed during the afterneon. It was an- nounced then that the Bolivians were determined to maintain their demands and irtended to ask instructions from their Government in case the assembly rejected it. The Bolivians declined to state categorically whether they would leave the assembly but expressed the fear that publi¢ opinion in Bolivia would demand their withdrawal if the assem- bly refused to arbitrate the question. The Bolivians said they were willing to submit the question to the international court but the Chilians declined to do so. Doncaster, Eng., Sept.
