MARTINEZ BOLTS CONVENTION
Courteous Mexico Placed Between,
Two Ffres, and In Leaning te
Either eide VIII ReCensured
Harssay-Pian Agreed Te.

Mexico City, January fs-This morn
ference was dull enough when towards
the end a ripple of excitement was Gre
ated. 1t began with an amendment look
ing TO the suppression of the final pro-
toooi In order, as recently telesraphed
TO the Associated Press. to enable the
compulsory plan Of arbitration to be re-
ported to the conference This amend
ment was carried by thirty votes; Chilli
abstaining from voting.
The vote excited great interest ss It
was forecast that the advocates of COM
pulsory arbitration were going to have
their way in insisting that the plan be
reported to the conference. The suppress
sion of the final protocol was the re-
moval CT an obstacle. Then Senior Pardo
of Mexico arose and offered q substitute,
directing that all treaties reported by the
conference to the department Of foreign
relations should be drawn up in Spanish,
French. Portuguese and English. It was
proposed that this amendment should be
put at once to a vote
Thereupon Walker Martinez OF Chilli re-

was provided, he said, by article 16 of the
rules that session should begin at 10
o'clock and end at l. President Raigosa
called Walker Martinez's attention to the
fact that the session had not begun until
nearly II. Thereupon Martinez rose from
his place and walked out of the hall, say
ing audfbly as he did so: There is no an
swering that; this is a species of CHI
canery to which the people Of this coun-
try are accustomed"
Immediately afterwards, upon the
courteous request of Bfest Garrerof Chill

claimed that one effect OF the affront OF
| Walker Martinez will almost certainly be
| that the Mexicans win now have to
choose between taking the side Of the
| Chilians or the other South Americans In
the arbitration dispute which is not quite
set tied; they will be decidedly inclined to
the latter. The Peruvian. Argentine.
| Venezuelan. Paraguayan, Bolivian and
| Dominican delegations attended this
mornings session. not as signifying any
abatement of their claims. but as a mark
of conciliatoriness and Difference to Mex
leo and the United States.
| Later the introduction OF the compul-
sorry plan of arbitration into the confer
ence was agreed upon, only minor details
remaining to be settled.

Gated there may be a settlement with the
heirs of the late William Marsh Rice.

permitted Mia Belle Rice, grand niece of
the deceased to withdraw her opposition
to the probate of the will OF 1896, known

Reason for the supposed settlement was
said to be found in the belief that the
so-called Patrick will which made the
alleged murderer residuary legatee would
fail and that the will of 1896 creating the
Rice institute in Texas would stand
