CHILEANLEFT THE HALL
WALKER llARTINEz ExPREssEs
 4nIs DIsPLEAeURE.
Evident that the Plan for Compulsory Artibitration Will Be Present. ed to the pnn-Amer-
 ican Congress.

Mexfb City~ Jan. H.-This morning. 2 session qfi1< Pan-American Conference had been ds xnough when. towards the end a ripIe of excitement was created.
 It began with an amendment looking to the suppression of the final protocol. in order, as recently teiegraphed to the As sociated Press. to enable the compulsory plan of arbitration to be reported to the conference. This amendment was car rlsd by thiI> v' s', Ghil' .0s'alnsd rom
 The vofc sxrited great interest, ss il was a f.rqdast that the advocates oi compulsory arbitration were going te have fr way in insisting that the plan be rel pdft.d to the conference. The sup pressin = the final protocol was the remova If an obstacle. Then Senor Pardoi6f Mexico, arose and offered a sub stitut Iproviding that all treaties re- ported the conference to the depart ment of foreign relations should be drawn in spanish French, Portuguese and Eng fish. It was proposed that this amend ment should be put at once to a vote.
 Walker Martinez of Chile remarked that the hour of adjournment had passed, it being after o'clock. It was provided he said. by Article Is of the rules. that sessions should begin at 10 o'clock and end at l. President Raigosa called Mar tines's attention to the fact that the ses- sion had not begun until nearly Il. There upon Martinez rose from his place and walked out of the hall. saying audibly as he did SO: There is no answering that this is a species of chicanery to which the people of this country are accus- toned"
 Immediately afterwards. upon the cour- teous request of Blest Cana Of Chiie, the chair adjourned the session.
 It Is claimed that one effect of the af- front of Walker Martinez will almost certainly be that if the Mexicans have now to choose between taking the side Of the Chiieans or the other South Ameri- cans in the arbitration dispute, which IS not quite settled, they will be decidedly inclined to the latter. The Peru. Argen- tine, yenezuela, Paraguay, Bolivia and San Domingo delegations attended this mornings session, not signifying any abatement of their claims, but as a mark of conciliatoriness and deference to Mex leo and the United States

INTERCHANGE EFFECTED
LIBERALS SNAPPED FOR GoV- ,s~l ERN1fENT TROOPS.
The United States Cruiser Re .i,, turns to Panama--AIban Con- centrating Colombian Troops
 at That Point.

Colon. Colombia, Jan. ls.-The United States cruiser Philadelphia returned to Panama yesterday from Las 'Tablas, whither she conveyed the commissioners who proposed to arIa Iange an exchange of prisoners between. the Colombian Gov ernment and the Liberals.
 The Philadelphia called first at Tonosi, where she found the Liberal gunboat Darien and 200 Liberals on shore. She then proceeded to Pascaderias. about fifty miles from Panama, where she found the Liberal gunboats Padilla and Giatian. The Padilla is of 700 tons and mounts two six-pounders. Liberal soldiers rom the shore were boarding the Padilla, which is taken to indicate that the Liber- als are moving.
 The American consul at Panama, Hezekiah A. Gudger. and an officer from the Philadelphia went on board the Pa dilla General Porras and General Lucas Cabaliero as commissioners for the Lib- erals. subsequently went on board the Philadelphia. where conference was held with the commissioners of the Co., lombian Government in the presence Of MT. Gudger and the captain of the Phila- delphia. General Porras said that he was empowered to exchange any General of the Colombian Government in the pos session of the Liberals that might be ssked for for Focion Soto. the Liberal General who recently fought at Fusa- gasuga, and who was once candidate for the Vfce-President of Colombia. Soto was supposed to be a prisoner at Bogota. The Liberal commissioners were inform ed that Soto had escaped
 The Government commissioners, Senor Piglo and Colonel Coycedo showed Gen. erals Porras and Caballero a list of nifty eight prisoners whom the Government was willing to exchange, and an exchange of prisoners was finally arranged to take place on the island of Tabgpta dn the Gulf of Panama ten miles south of Pan- anna on the 16th inst. The Padilla Is an old iron vessel. incapable of steaming more than six miles an hour. and the Da- rien and Giatan are small tugboats.
 The force under the Liberal General Lorenzo. has united with that command ed by General Herrera, and 1t is said these united forces intend to land near Chorera General Alban has decided to return the Lantaro. which he seized, to her agent. as a steamer called the Boas has just been acquired by purchase by Colombian agents at Punta Arenas. and has already sailed for Panama. The Co., lOmbian General Castro is reported as stIlI advancing upon the Liberals. Being unable to intercept the Liberals at Pes caderias, word will probably be sent to General Castro to return to Panama, where General Alban is concentrating Government troops

MARcoNI TALKS.
Guest of Honor at Banquet in New
 York.

New York Jan. 13.-William Marcont the inventor of wireless telegraphy, was the guest of honor this evening at the annual dinner of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, held at the Wal dorf-AstOria.
 Thomas A. Edison wrote that he would be glad to be present as he would like to meet the young man who had the monumental audacity to attempt and succeed in jumping an electrical wave clear across the Atlantic Ocean," but was unable to accept the invitation.
 Signor Marconi in his address referred to the prevailing opinion that when message is sent into space any one with the necessary apparatus can intercept that message and read it. He said:
 Messages can only be read when the receiver and transmitter are attuned. This attuned system as perfected is not at present in. use on ships. It has been deemed necessary that each ship should be equipped with apparatus which will permit the reading of a message sent from any other ship, because of the pos sibility of aid being required in case of danger. Therefore all ships are at- tuned so that one ship can call up any other ship"
 Signor Marconl declared that shortly 1t would be possible to send many mes sages over the sea at the same time.

PANAMA COMPANIES PLAN Z
 BELIEVED TO BE BLOCK 1fJ

who hold interest great or sS. in the Panama Canal Company. govern ment cannot afford to me Enemies of these five hundred thor 6. and theil children and, their fri 2 by buying something which, und. our laws, we have no right to buy without the full consent of every man interested, though he have but a francs interest in the concern. W When I say wouldn't give thirty cents for your unfinished ditch I mean wouldn't take 1t under any consideration. because it would not be fair to those who have their money invested in the company"
 There is the strongest kind of senti- ment in both branches of Congress against delay in getting down to actual work on the canal. One of the biggest objections found in the House against the Panama offer was the fact that ne- gotiations over the purchase of that ditch would delay work on the canal and for this reason the canal advocates would not listen to the offer in any shape.
 For years and years we have been trying to get a canal down there." Con- gressmau Hepburn said in his speech for the ball, 'and each year something has come to delay the project. Now here comes this Panama project. I believe il is nothing more than a scheme to delay us again.
 In view of all the foregoing, and also the additional fact of the great victory of the bill in the House where it was passed by a vote of 3OS to 9 1t is gen. eraIly believed that the Senate will give the measure vote as patriotic and over whelming as the American people could wish.
 The only Senator who has expressed himself e-ainst the bill so far is Sena- tor Depew. and he has just returned from France. He wants the Panama canal.

 Questioning.

Lampre stated that under the agreement of the new company with the old com pany the stockholders of the latter con- cern would receive 60 per cent. of the proceeds of the sale. He also said that an agreement had been arrived at with the liauidator as the representative of the old company, that ia. ease of the sale Of the property the arbitrators would be chosen: to make an equitable distribution of the proceeds of the sale. He contended that under the French law the new company had per- feet right to make the transfer, notwith- standing the interference of the old com pany.
 ITO prevent any possible entangle- ment," he said, we made an agreement with the liquidator of the old canal com pany to the effect that we should have absolute authority to deal directly with the government of the United States"
 The bondholders liauidator, did not ap- pear in the agreement. but he gave the liquidator of the old company authority to enter into the agreement.
 Senator Morgan-Could the new com pany sell the property and put the pro- ceeds in its pocket and not share them with the old company?
 M Lampre-Yes, it could do so under the authority of the stockholders meet ing.
 Senator Morgan-Then, the transaction between the two canal companies must have been a sale to the new company without reference to the bonds and stock held by the old company?
 NJ. Lampre-Yes, but one of the condi- tions was that we should give 60 per- cent of the proceeds to the old company.
 M Lampree said that of the 10000 shares of stock of the Panama Railroad Company, the hew Panama Canal Com pany owns 6s,534 and that the railroad company had last year paid dividends to the Canal Company amounting to 4OO.- GOO francs

What had oc- cured was the fault of the Polish agita- ton. and not of the Prussian school sys- tenn No one prevented the Poles from speaking Polish. but they must also learn to speak German and participate in the German work of civilization
 The Chancellor tiisclaimed all desire to slight the Catholics. saying the govern ment's policy was neither protestant nor Catholic, just as his policy was neither liberal nor conservative.
 II know" added the Chancellor. .only one policy. just as l know only single. in- dividual nation. The questions at issue in the eastern provinces are not religious but national; thanks to our protection. There has arisen a community of Polish citizens, which has now taken up the leadership of Polish agitation in fan tastical spirit and which is closely con- nected with the Polish colonization eom- mission.

 The Chancellor concluded by assuring the Germans of east Prussia that the government would not deviate in the slightest from the track laid out by that greatest German,' the late Prince Bismarck.
 Count von Buelow is regarded as hav- ing handled the vexed Polish question. complicated as it is with bitter religious controversies, with much skill.
 His announcement that the Govern ment had desisted from the corporal pun ishment of Polish children during relig- ious instructions, is accepted as eliminat- ing the principal weapon with which the agitators incite the passions of Poles.
 The Imperial Chancellor startled the German section of the Diet by offering documentary proofs, collected by the Government, that while the Polish popu- lation of the province of Posen was in- increasing at the rate of 10 3-4 per cent, the German population of this province increased only at the rate of 1-2 per cent. But. abstracting from the German Increase these persons who had immi- grated to the province. the German pop ulation of Posen had only increased 3-4 per cent during period of five years.
