The Pan-American Congress that has been in Sos
sion in the City of Mexico, from which so much was
expected has broken up without definite results
and it is reported, many OF the delegates have gone
home.
AS was feared when it began it's sessions the Con
gress split on the subject Of compulsory arbitration,
and Chile was mainly instrumental in bringing this
about The arbitration measure was proposed by the
delegates of the Argentine Republic and was seconded
by Bolivia Peru. Uruguay and Venezuela But Chile
backed by Ecuador and Colombia strenuously opposed
st. At the beginning of the session Chile gave notice
that IT would only take part the distinct under
standing that present quarres would he included
in any plan Of arbitration The United States through
out maintained neutral attitude eminentIy
proper with regard to the dispute between South
American States.
The reason for this attitude on tho part Of Chile IS
20 be found in the provinces she took from Peru Che
sides Bolivian territory, the Alsace and Lor-
rane OF South America which bear the Of Tacna

and one of her statesmen conceived the brilliant
simple scheme Of selling some Bolivian territory. to-

trate beds of enormous value. War was declared on
some pretext, and Chile completely victorious by
the treaty of Ancon 1t stipulated that at the end
OF ten years inhabitants OF the Peruvian provinces
Should choose by popular vote whether they wished to
belong to Chile or to Peru. Chile, however, although
the time has long gone by has always refused hold

SENATOR cuLegRsoN ON THE CANAL TREATY.

Some newspapers in Texas have taken occasion to
critlcise Senators Cuberson and Bailey the Texas
senator's for voting against the Nicaragua canal treaty
All such criticism is based upon cardinal misunder
standing. Opposition to the treaty is to be dstiu
gushed from opposition to the canal Both of the
Texas senators and earnestly in favor of the
canal but both opposed to the treaty because
they believed 1t unnecessary and for other reasons
These other reasons clearly and ably set forth
in letter of Senator Culberson TO Judge w. r. M
Ross of Rossvle, Texas, published in The Post on
Thursday Senator Culbeson states his objections
the treaty to be not only because it fails give the
United States authority to defend the canal thor
interests but because by implication this authority is
withheld AS the senator says
During period of war though the United States
should be one OF the begerents this treaty denies them
hory exercise any right commit any act Of
hostility adjacent TO the canal II this country in
vessels upon paving toll would be allowed to pass h1oSeb
the canal unimpeded and either end the canal would

Besides this, Senator Culberson urges that the Civ.

1893 The canal Is to be dug isthmus belong.

United States, Jointly with Great Britain shall guar.

or corporation across the sthmus, even though the
United States should acquire the territory Is to be
guaranteed neutral in the same way

who voted for the treaty did because they did not
wish to throw any difficulties in the way of putting
through the Nicaragua canal project, which has been

American stand they took and for lifting up their
voices in warning of the trouble the advocates OF the
treaty have unnecessarily laid up in future
