The Date Of Its Adjournment
Named.
Mexico City Jan. 20-The Pan-Amer-
lean Conference to-day adopted a reso-
luton on adjournment, according to
which the closing session will be held
on Jan. 81. The conference also ap-
proved a resolution to send the saluta-
ton of the conference to Senior Alvo,
the renowned Argentine writer on in
ternational law, who is now past so
years of age.
To Exhibit at Philadelphia.
In spite of the protest of a CONNER
cial agency of the United States the
Committee on Commerce and Recipro-
city of the Pan American conference
decided this evening to recommend the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum to
the good offices of the nations repre-
sented at the conference by means of
the following recommendations:
The second international American
conference recommends to the govern
ment of the republics therein repre-
sented the advisability of adopting
measures looking to the speedy COM
pletion and renovation of the collection
of their products exhibited in the Com
mercial Museum of Philadelphia and
the forwarding to the said museum of
the data, reports and publications of a
general character, tending to favor and
increase mercantile traffic"
There is some delay in Derfecting the
project for an international court of
claims. 1t had been an obligatory
agreement to submit to the permanent
arbitration court of The Hague all pc
cuniary claims of private citizens of
any one of the contracting nations
against the government of any other
of said contracting nations and which
diplomacy cannot settle, this obliga-
ton to last for five years by way of
trial The delay is due to the fact that
the United States delegation is await
ing final instructions from Washing
ton. The Peruvians following the ex-
ample of the Mexicans and Argentines
have decided to present a report show
ing all that Peru has done since the
last Pan American conference to carry
out it's recommendations. Among other
points they will treat of arbitration
and they will take advantage of the
opportunity to take few shots at
Chile.

That guilt belonged to the Republicans.
There was nothing logical in connect
ing the war for the relief of Cuba and
the perpetual occupation of the Phil
ippines by force of arms.
The English civilization which Mr..
Cannon gloried in, continued Mr.. De-
Almond, was the vaunted civilization
against which men, women and chill

South Africa in defense of liberty. The
attitude of the mighty English nation
in South Africa, he said, was some

but he believed that eventually the
American people would be aroused TO
the enormity of their attitude and in
the sober second thought would refuse

mitted that Mr.. Bryan had counselled
the ratification of the treaty, He be-
lieved then and he believed still that
Mr.. Bryan had been wiser had he said
nothing on the subject, Mr.. Bryan's

war was over and he believed the peo-

ton goods market, though 1t seems that reluctance of buyers to pay ad- vanced prices on account of faith in larg- CT crop estimates and ensuing deprecia- tion In the value of raw cotton, has con- siderable to do with the present unfavor- able state of affairs At any rate Liver pool continues to improve in moderate way, notwithstanding the liberal excess of stocks there as compared with the same time last year, which hardly sig nifies despondency over the outlook In that quarter. Deliveries were quoted about 1-64 higher and spots were marked up 1-32 with sales of 5000 bales.
 On this tide a fresh demand was can celled by reports of higher prices being paid in the interior for spots and the market improved readily in the presence of very limited offerings.
 The temptation to take profit caused slight fluctuations, but the tone held steady throughout the day. Closing quo tations are 10 to 12 points higher than Saturday. The impression prevails that American mills have been exceedingly dilatory about acquiring their supplies of raw material, and credit Is given to this view by the increased inquiry for spots, even at small country towns, which report a rapid depletion of stocks.
 Thus the present liberaI movement Is accounted as representing urgent ship ments of previous purchases, while in consequence of the fiourishing condition of trade at home it IS thought that American spinners will be active buyers of cotton through necessity for the re- mainder of the season. The feeling toward the market accordingly continues very faVOrably
