Of pure mountain air, sunshine and
comparative wealth in the ordinary

ARBITRATION AT MEXICO.
MAJORITY IN THE PAN-AMERICAN CON
GRESS LIKELY TO ADOPT THE
HAGUE PLAN.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The State Department
received dispatches to-day from Mexico making
clear for the first time what is to be expected
on the subject of arbtra tion which has been
the most important and most difficult problem
before the Congress Of American Republics.
The advtces came from Mr.. Buchanan, the
United STAKES delegate who was assigned to
look after this particular question. He says
that an agreement on the lines of The Hague
conference appears TO be favored by the ma
jority of the republics. and that this probably
will be the basis of action TO be taken by the
congress. He also says that those republics
which desire to go further than The Hague
agreement are likely to sign an independent
convention for compulsory arbitration.
The understanding here is that the following
countries are favorable to arbitration according
10 The Hague plan: The United States. Mexico
Chilli, Colombia, Ecuador, Hayti. Nicaragua
Salvador, Costa Rica and Honduras. There is
some doubt as to Brazil and Guatemala, but the
latter is expected to join the other Central
American countries in favor of non-compulsory
arbitration.
The countries which may sign an independent
convention for compulsory arbitration Ar
gentina, Venezuela. San Domingo, Peru, Bo-
livia, Uruguay and Paraguay. That Venezuela
should favor compulsory arbitration causes
surprise here. but il is said to be due to
President Castro's desire TO force the Colombian
controversy to arbitration. The position of San
Domingo grows out of her boundary difficulty
with Hayt This was referred to the Pope but
as satisfactory progress has not been made
San Domingo now wants compulsory arbitra-
ton.
In case The Hague Convention is accepted
the basis of agreement, it will provide means
and moral influence for adjusting various diff
ferences by arbitration, and yet each country
Will be left free to determine whether arbitra-
ton shall be applied to any case in which it is
concerned.
The congress is rapidly drawing to a close,
and another fortnight will probably bring
final adjournment, that the determination OF
the arbitration question appears to be near at
hand.

Montague Lessler, the Republican candidate
is now the favorite among the political sharps
