CHILEANS
F|L|BUSTER
FIERY OPPONENTS OF COMPULSORY
ARBITRATION MEAN TO
DIE HARD
OBSTRUCTION THEIR TACTICS
Mean to Try and Wreck the Pam
American Conference if They
Cannot Have Their own
Way on Arbitration
THEY ARE HURLING DEFIANCE

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 15.-The plan for
the adherence of the nations represented
at the Pan-American congress to The
Hague convention was introduced by the
Chilean delegation today after a long and
able statement tending to show the aG-
vantages of The Hague convention and
the impracticability of compulsory arbi-
tration.
The obstructive tactics of Chile were
clearly revealed at this mornings and tEis
afternoons session, so it begins to be ap-
parent that it win be practically impos-
sible ever to bring either of the arbi-
tration projects to a vote unless some
rule resembling the cloture of the Brit
ish parliament is adopted, as the Chileans
VIII continue to talk indefinitely.
After attacking, throughout the after
noon session, the plan of general ac-
ceptance of The Hague articles as haV-
ing been hastily adopted, they finally
changed front. dropped their own plan OF
acceptance and gave their assent to the
general plan, but insisted that instead
OF merely passing through the confer
ence, it be submitted thereto for de-
bate.
Would Wreck the Conference.
They knew that if it be only debated
they will be able to delay things indef
lmtely, and in the meantime work for
the withdrawal Of more Central and
South American delegations until in that
way they will have succeeded in wreck
ing the conference The discussion win
be continued at an extra session tomor
row.
1t must be observed that the Chileans
have repeatedly declared themselves
strongly in favor of The Hague conven-
ton, so that in promoting debate on the
plan for its acceptance they clearly show
their obstructive Intentions Chiles OBJ
Ject in presenting an appropriate plan Of
adherence to The Hague convention. in
which it is Joined only by Ecuador, is
to cause it's plan to be referred to the
committee on arbitration in which event
the committee will either have to accent
1t, or, If it reject it, the conference will
be placed in the position of discardfng
what it has already approved, in. either
of which cases Chile will score point
besides delaying other work
The delegations that have been fairly
favorable to Chile are now experiencing
change. But what excites the greatest
indignation is the efforts of Chile to ur-
dermlne the conference by procuring the
WltndraWal Of delegations, as in the case
OF venezuela. This is regarded as a di-
rect defiance of the United States and
Mexico, the two nations that are respon

WENT TO PHILIPPINES TO STUDY
MORALS
Found the People Much Mere Moral

COLORADO SPRINGS, Jan 15.-Dr. A.

DR.. Hazlett made an exhaustive study
of the morality question and concluded
that the morals Of the country are much

Washington, d. c.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-An unquali-
fed recommendation of the Panama
route is what may be expected from to-
morrow's meeting of the Walker canal
commission.
The offer Of the new Panama company
to sell for $40, 600 has moved the Wal
ker commission to reconsider it's findings
The commission appraised the Panama
assets at this figure, and their bid has
been met The official report to con-
gress concluded with the objection to
the Panama route that the price asked
was too high for consideration. That
was when Hutin was asking $1O9, ,0OO, ,0CO
Aside from this the Walker commission
stated frankly that the Panama route
has more advantages in it's favor than
the Nicaragua one. The points enumer-
ated are harbor facilities, less curvitude
shortness and fewer locks. With the
house committed to the Nicaragua route
and the official report of the commission
in favor Of the Panama route, the SEN
ate may be in quandary. The ques-
tion arises, whether. the two will not
neutralize and result in deadlock.

NEW CANAL PROPOSED.
Would BE Less Than Thirty Miles
i'm Length.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Plans for a new
ship canal will be presented next Thurs
day before the senate commission on
canals for the American Isthmus canal
company, and the .Isthmus company,
both corporations of New Jersey. The
route for the canal proposed is from the
gulf of San Bias to the Pacific ocean,
behind the Pearl islands, and is called
the Mandigo route. 1t will be proposed
that the company build the work under
the supervision and protection of the
government without any cost to the
United States, which will be asked to
guarantee the bonds of the company.
The company will propose that the gov
ernment have the use of the canal free
of charge for all government vessels,
and il at any time the company does not
do as agreed, the government shall take
possession of the canal. The company
asserts that it has secured a right of way.
The newly suggested route is less than
thirty miles long, and therefore is shorter
than any other so far proposed.

WILEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Jan
1b.-(via Haytien cable)-The Venezuelan
government yesterday, after considerable
loss of time, allowed all the passengers
but one, M. Secrestat Jr., to land at La
Guaia, from the French line steamer st.
Laurent, from Bordeaux, by way OF San

Manuela Matos, leader of the revolution
against President Castro, and he was on
his way to Caracas in order to enter
formal protest against the seizure of the
estates in question by the Venezuelan
government, in spite of the fact that the
transaction had been legally recorded.
The pretext on which the landing of M.
SecTestat was forbidden is that he NAV

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Many public
men are expressing regret that the
prompt action Of the president in re-
moving certain Office holders against
whom charges were filed should have
tended to bring many persons forward
with trivial charges against men in office
Congressman declare they can not recall
that so many men were ever before, COM
ing to the national capital with charges
in their pockets. Congressman who made
postoffice recommenda tions about the
time the session opened are learning daily
that charges against the men recon-
mended have been filed with the pres
ident or the postmaster general With
in the last two weeks some of the Min
nesota members have had to combat
charges against several men they had
recommended, but SO far they have been
able to pull their friends through.

IRRIGATION is OPPOSED
MEMBERS FROM ARID LAND STATES
HAVE A FIGHT AHEAD.
FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
Washington, ID. C.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The sentiment
against government aid in reclaiming the
arid lands Of the West seems to be grow
ing. Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
who was the first of the members from
the Middle states to enter a protest
against taxing the people of the agri
cultural states for the benefit of land
owners in the West voiced the senti-
ment of large number of congressman
in the Middle states and in the East.
The impression now is that the friends
and supporters Of irrigation cannot hope
to accomplish anything unless they form
some sort of combine with congressman
interested in public building bills or in
the Improvement of rivers and harbors.
Earlier in the session there was talk that
the irrigation forces might form an al
lance with the ship subsidy people, but
there is not any prospect of that at this
time.

Then Accused Him of

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 15.-George l.
Kline, of ST. Louis, and Robert l.. West,
Of Cincinnati, were arrested across the
river this morning for robbing the trunk
of T. E. Manners, of Chicago, of about
81, 500 of jewelry. They represented them
selves last sight as Manners and another
guest, at the st. Charles, paid the bills
and left with the baggage. They. crossed
the river in skiff and were caught be-
fore the train came on which they ex-
pected to leave, through the watchfulness
of a newsboy who had read the story in
the newspapers.
Later in the day Manners went over
to identify the property and Kline ac-
cused him of being a thief under an
alias. AS the whole affair had queer
look Manners was also arrested. The
police suspect he is Kerns, the New
York jewelry thief.
CHICAGO, Jan 15.-No pawnbroker
named Manners is known in Chicago.
Only two persons Of that name are men

the card check, with sheet checker

probably the nearest to perfection it
is possible to obtain. Although, how
ever, it affords the hotel proprietor
greater protection it is not known that
it has lessened the walters profits.
If the obliging servitor cannot, to use
his language, "get it out Of the
house," he "gets it out of the Gus
toner" His method for that is sim
pie. The average man who eats in a
restaurant seldom compares the
prices on the check with those on the
bill of fare, and, notwithstanding all
the warning notices printed on the bill
handed to him, he merely glances at
the total and pays up. With the aid
of forged. checks and pocket pencil
dies it is comparatively easy for the
waiter to overcharge and pocket the
difference between the total on the bill
rendered to the customer and that on
the stub attached. to the legitimate
checy which has to be rendered to the
cashier. This business of grating"

SLY TRICKS OF WATERS.
Some of the Tricky Methods Brought
Into Play by Them to Cheat
Their Employers.

The following is an incident which
actually occurred at a fashionable
seaside hotel not may days ago, says
a New York correspondent OF the
Pittsburgh Dispatch Some guests
were being served by particularly
competent waiter, and were congrat-
ulating themselves on having obtained
the services of a gem, when suddenly,
to their establishment, the manager of
the hotel, walked up to the man,
punched him in the ribs as policeman
in the circus punches the clown, and
promptly drew forth a fine hot broiled
porterhouse steak. The mans clothes,
it was found, contained rubber peck
cts contrived especially for the trans
portation of food. He stole the steak
in the kitcheny with the intention of
serving it and collecting the money.
Immediately after he had been detect
ed all the walters in the hotel were
searched thoroughly, and those adj
dicted to the rubber-pocket habit
were promptly discharged. A cry of
"Rubber' at that hotel now would Gre
ate a panic. That, however, is merely
one of the tricks that walters practice
to cheat their employers.
The hotel proprietors for years have
been at their wits ends trying to de-
wise checking systems that cannot be
beaten by their help. The hotel mans
day, however, is still far off in this di-
rection, and no system has been de-
vised by which fraud and theft may
be absolutely stopped in the kitchen
and among the walters. In some
places the old.fashioned brass check
system is still in use. If the man at
the cashiers desk is honest this will
work all right, but if he is in league
with the walters he can grow rich in a
summer season, as one smooth indi-
vidual did last year, who cheated the
hotel out of $4,000. The old brass

cts just like the wearing OF
Boards" went on the inquisitor.
''The proprietors. of our important
hotels, restaurants and cafes will not
permit either boards or glasses to
be worn by their walters. It is pos
sible that in some old-fashioned fam
lily or commercial hotel the servitors
may be found with their noses strad-
died by optical helps, but you won't
find 'em along Broadway.
mo, this is fact worthy Of note,
because in every other calling in life
the number of persons wearing
glasses is on the increase, and even
in our schools a considerable per-
centage of very small children will
be found wearing glasses. And while,
as I say, hotel, restaurant, and cafe
proprietors are opposed to the
glasses, still I have seldom found
waiter whose eyes indicated that he
was in the slightest need of them. ;
"You may argue that restaurant
walters are generally young men.
Grant you that instantly, but, all the
same, thousands Of men Of similar
age have to- wear them in almost
every other occupation.
'The majority of these servitors
commence in boyhood, and the de-
mand of their vocation causes no
strain on the eyesight. Consequent
ly that may account in measure
for the absence of any necessity for
the use of specs. Moreover, the
steam from from hot yiands would
render them useless probably"

HEN RAISED KITTENS.
BARNARD Bfddy FOrsook Her Brood
for a Litter of Squeakinx
Little Cats.

Port Arthur, Tex, boasts FIVE
healthy young kittens that were
brought through the infant stage
successfully by fussy old hen. So
far has the fame of the strange
brood spread that photographers
have ;ourneyed many miles to get
snap shot at the picture offered.
One of these pictures is in the pos.
session of DR.. Fred s. selby, 2o55
West Adams street, Chicago, and
from it is reproduced the accompany.
ing sketch.
The kittens and the hen with the
strange fancy for furry pets are the
property of Mrs. w. P. Park, the
mother of DR.. Selby's wife. The hen
is one of the veterans of the Park
roost and is accustomed to have
things its own way. Early this spring
the mistress of the poultry yard
brought forth brood of feathery
young chicks, and, not liking the
place where her family was born
led them across the barnyard and es'
tablisned headquarters in a barrel
near the house. Mrs. Park wanted
the chicks in the henhouse, so she
overturned the barrel and "shooed'
them off.
Meanwhile the family cat happened
along and discovered the barrel lay.
