MEXICAN VIEWS
ON ARBITRATION
Pan-American Delegates
File an Interesting
Report.
Say Their Plan Is N3st Fav-
orable to the Interests
of Peace.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 12.-In the
preamble of their report the delegates
to the Pan-American Congress review
the question of arbitration A notable
passage deals with the making OF arbi-
tration obligatory. The report says those
who aim at such an end forget the
teachings of history and are only legis-
lating Tor ideal societies organized in q
superior and different manner to those
now existing. They are not legislating
for the present days societies in which
man, while moving under high aspira-
tions is at times carried away by pas
sions which disturb and blind him. The
Mexican delegation looks for more prac-
tical results. They say their plan offers
something more favorable to the inter
estS of peace than those ideas offered by
promoters of plans for the formation OF
the United States of Europe, and even
of the world.
Ell Impartial says the Mexican delega-
tions are united in a determination to ad-
vocate the principle of suppression OF
quarantine which has created so mucn
obstruction to commerce throughout the
world. England has shown the way and
her public health has not suffered by
her removal of quarantines

the great love poems of the world, Ro-
meo and Juliet" 'Lancelot and Guine-
we're" In picturesque and vivid phrase
the lecturer told the ancient Legend, with
lis marvellous weaving into music by the
master hand of Wagner. Each theme by
which the great music-dramatist eX-
pressed in melody the characteristics of
the brave knight, Tristan, the beautiful
Isolde and their piteous fate was brought
clearly to the comprehension of the most
Indifferent listener The lecture, as are
all Mr.. Damroschs illustrations of the
Wagner opera, was invaluable as an aid
to the understanding of the inner shades
of meaning of both music and story, and
those present yesterday feel themselves
amply able now to undertake intelligently
the pleasant task of listening to Tristan
and Isolde when it's turn comes along at
the Grand Opera-houSe.
