DEADLOCK IS
Question May Cause Crisis in
Affairs of the Pan-Ameri
can Conference
CHILI IS DETERMINED TO
PREVENTCOMPULSORY PLAN
_________
Argentine and Peru Join Issue With
Them, and While They Fight
United States Delegates Are
Keeping Hands Off.
Mexico City, December 31.—The dead
lock in the matter of arbitration still
continues. The Chilian delegates want
to prevent the compulsory plan from be
ing reported to the conference at all,
whereas the Argentine and Peruvian
delegates affirm that they will not ad
here to The Hague convention unless
their compulsory plan also has the honor
of a public presentation to the confer
ence. The United States delegates stand
aside, and while having nothing to do
with the compulsory plan, have no ob
jection to letting the Peruvians and Ar
gentine have their way. The Chilians
have been asked why they do not imi
tate the example of the United States,
seeing that the compulsory plan, inas
much as they will not join it, can not
affect them.
The difficulty seems to be one of
"amour propre" at the present time. Both
Chili and Peru sent their ablest men here.
They are all largely in politics and they
feel that their political reputation is at
stake on the extent to which they can
make their respective views of arbitration
prevail on this conference. They were
sent for that specific purpose, the Peru
vians to bring, if possible, an advanced
scheme of arbitration before the confer
ence and to secure its sanction or the
sanction of some of its members thereto.
The Chilians, on the other hand, came
here determined to prevent the introduc
tion of compulsory and retrospective ar
bitration in any form, according to their
declaration made before the assembling
of the conference. They know that such
a plan, as long as they do not sign it,
can never bind them, but so sensitive, are
they on the subject that they say the
delegations who favor the compulsory
plan must sign it outside of the confer
ence.
The Chilians, it is claimed, are afraid
that if the plan is reported to the con
ference an attempt will be made to dis
tort the facts abroad and to create the
impression in the United States and Eu
rope that the Pan-American conference
has declared itself for compulsory arbi
tration, and that will be used as a weap
on against their nation in the future. So
wrought up are both sides that a crisis
in the affairs of the conference is not
improbable within a day or two. While
the United States delegates stand on one
side, the Mexicans are working hard to
bring the two factions together so that
at least the adherence to The Hague con
vention will be unanimous.
THEATRE BURNED.
Miners’ Eighth Avenue House In New
York Is Destroyed.
New York, January 1.—Miners’
Eighth Avenue Theatre was destroyed
by Are early this morning. "The
Merry Maidens” burlesque show had
just given a long performance and the
audience had been out of jthe building
only about fifteen minutes when the
fire started. It was caused by a cigar
ette.
The theatre building was old and
four stories high. After the fire
started the chorus girls and employes
of the theatre fled to the street in a
panic. The fire spread with amazing
rapidity. From the theatre building
it jumped to two three-story dwellings
on Twenty-sixth street. At an early
hour this morning it was impossible
to say to what extent they would be
damaged.
The loss as now estimated will be
$200,000.
PRAISES SCHLEY.
New York Assemblyman In Address
to Caucus Refers to Hero.
Albany, N. Y.. December 31.—The Re
publican and Democratic assemblymen
and the Republican Senators held cau
cuses tonight to decide upon candidates
for presentation at tomorrow's session.
Fred Nixon was decided upon for speaker
of the assembly by the Republicans by
acclamation.
The assembly Democratic caucus chose
George M. Palmer of Schorl for speaker.
Mr. Palmer addressed the Democratic
caucuB briefly. He referred to Rear Ad
miral Schley, saying:
"If I mistake not the Justness and pa
triotism of the American people, such
censure will not meet the public approval,
but will be condemned by the American
mind, and he will be as true to this hero
as we have been to others. Accurate his
tory will record for reading and study
during the ages to come that Admiral
Schley was and is the 'hero of Santia
go.’ ”
Further Detail* of Mexican Fire.
Mobile. December 31.—The steamer Tell
fon brings further Information of the fire
of December 24 at Progresso, Mexico. The
lire began at 2 a. m. In the warehouse of
Echanova Brothers, spreading to the

tents, 6000 bales of sisal hemp, was totally
destroyed, which was valued at 1125,000.
The fire-fighting apparatus in Progrerso
is limited, and the fire was not checked
until It burned itself out. Value of the
buildings was not ascertained. The de
struction of so much stock Is said to
have caused decided advance in the price
of sisal.
